Got a link? Do you mean an actual EVF or a loupe over the back screen? The Canon is more painterly and unique to everything else, there is no comparison with anything contemporary. It's even dramatically different to the Leica Noctilux 50mm F1. The Mitakon I have seen a review of and it looks nice, but looks more like the modern Leica Noct F0.95 than the Dream Lens in terms of the rendering. The Canon also has a glow and diffusion of light around specular highlights, which is very rare to see.

NEW BLOG POST!

What output is it doing? 10bit or 12bit RGB?

No it isn't blocked by RED. Blackmagic have internal "RAW" with BRAW. Sony can do something like that but can't / won't / haven't got the imagination, Actually my guess is they have stopped trying judging by the NAB announcement Powerpoint today.

My house, my rules.

Looks like Digital Bolex might be getting a reboot after all!

Indeed, the feature that nobody needs but everyone seems to go ape-shit over! Have you seen the fuss over the EOS R5? 8K is to be seen to be leading the technology race. I bet half the YouTubers with their mouths wide open in amazement will never use it, but for marketing purposes the higher numbers just have to keep on rolling in.

Let's face it... Sony heard about the Canon EOS R5 and sent it back to the drawing board didn't they?! I'll be surprised if we see it at all. New blog post

The great thing about the Fp is that it is plug-and-play, and works with Macs, and even smartphones whereas the Canon DSLRs are Windows only and the software is beta. Yes, it would be nice to have more support for USB video class connections on future cameras, as Sigma has pioneered.

Yes and one of the spectators giving the McLaren boss coronavirus!

Great for news crews then, maybe finally they can stop shooting everything with their phones! 😁 I will have to try it out in more depth. So far, it's a new thing to me. A way to share some footage of me crashing at Monza with a couple of friends! By the way those monitors need to be driven at 165fps (165hz) each by the graphics card. It cries for mercy during every race

Yes plus they get to sell some EOS R lenses to RED users. And I am sure there is profit in the sensor supply too.

Could be, something is going on! Question is why would Canon do it, what's in it for them? They are fierce competitors with Cinema EOS vs RED digital cinema cameras.

Canon practically pioneered large CMOS sensor manufacturing. They did not suddenly become a cutting edge sensor manufacturer!! It's just that they have been sleeping whilst they upgrade the facilities. New factories in Taiwan. New fabs capable of more modern designs. It is a major advantage they have over the competition. Everyone else has to buy Sony sensors! Canon make their own and always have. Compressed RAW internal on Canon DSLRs. RED with EOS R lens mount. A sensor supply. What next. Canon buys RED outright?!

You need up your bitrate and resolution to avoid compression artefacts. Try shooting Long GOP as well instead of ALL-I.

It's a really great camera right now, feature packed. Yes, LOG would be nice and I am 99% sure it's coming, but I wouldn't be hesitant to use it in the V1.0 state it is in.

I will try mine. It is usually a bit marginal on Olympus bodies. The XL fits on my E-M1X though so maybe we'll have some joy on the smaller cam. I would see if you can go for an E-M1 II on eBay for a bit more BTW, it's worth it.

Good stuff takes time.

Is it IMX309 in the Panasonic S1 / S1H as well? And I am asuming the 60MP one in the Z-CAM E2 F8 is also in the A7R IV. Get Canon's image processor in there immediately 😂

Are you sure? Sony certainly can't, but I think Fuji and Leica might be in for a chance along with some of the RAW cameras.

In most of those examples above it is just the orange & teal grading in action. Although doing nuanced warm and cool shades in one frame is indeed the hallmark of a nice image, in my opinion. Nuanced tones like cyan and good white balance are one of the traits of the 1D C and what separated it form just merely a "very good" 4K camera at the time like the Samsung NX1. So it isn't about 10bit. It's the white balance, colour science, and sensor. It's not quite that simple. You can't add what the camera doesn't capture. You can change hues and biases but if the baseline capture is flawed it gives you a TON of time consuming work to do AND never looks as good as a better file.

It's nice to have e-ND. The rest is total overkill!

If you like lugging around very old heavy cameras, yes.

Now the reasons for the original EOS R's weird ergonomics become clear. They wanted to save the best for the expensive model. Proper click wheel, joystick instead of THAT bar, and deeper 5D-style grip. The screen seems larger except it doesn't. Why such a thick bezel? I am positively surprised about the size BTW... Barely any larger than the EOS RP and much smaller than the Panasonic S1.
