Preordered S20 Ultra, should be enough as travel cam/daily cam for me and nice 8K B cam to R5. The DoF should be similar to APS-C on F4 for the wide angle, quite a bit nicer than F6.3 on normal smart phones. Xiaomi Note 10 Pro is much cheaper for the price but there is something iffy about their software and UI in general and of course the security.

Oh man can't wait, should hopefully last a decade with this camera, mean while Sony still struggling to come up with 4K60p on their whole mirrorless lineup..

Guess we will see on 13th

For video EF + Variable ND adapter is the winner

Really curious is it gonna be Nikon level or Panasonic level smoothness? Oly still have the smoothest IBIS out of all of them.

I think R and RP just become low budget model to attract newcomer, it doesnt cost them much to produce in the first place since it mostly based on old tech, so R&D cost is really small. The R firesale at $1299 last dec definitely helped.. hence all the new comeback to R videos popping up on Youtube after released for a year.

Well Canon and Red have cross license agreement, hence RF mount on the new Komodo and RAW Video on 1DX III. So out of all the manufacturers Canon is the only one that can make mirrorless cam with internal compressed raw video legally.

https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/sony-says-coronavirus-outbreak-in-china-could-affect-image-sensor-and-electronics-business-enormously/ Luckily for Canon most of their product is Made in Japan or Made in Taiwan, and Olympus move all their stuff to Vietnam so wont be affected, wondering about Nikon and Panasonic will it affect them too? Since some of their stuff is made in China.

Meanwhile Sony still struggle to put 4K60P on their mirrorless cam. Things not looking good for Sony video shooter and Sony sensor business as well now that Samsung gonna take the phone sensor crown over Sony with their 2nd gen 108MP sensor on S20 ultra and 8K capable 64MP on S20

I am glad I ditched Sony and go back to Canon last year, all I need now is the tasty new body 😎 But man those new R5/R6 definitely make my R look like dinosaur for sure, but R still producing pleasing image with minimum tweaking. Now just need Tamron to port their lens to RF and that will be perfect.. not all of us need big expensive lens. My interest for Red Komodo 6K drop to 0%

So it have the same electronic IS that Canon have, which is pretty good for video but non functional on photos.

Not just your friend, my friend also bought Gopro before he went off to end of year holiday.. before that he was considering Sony A7.

And it cost another $100 just for the power adapter if you decide to use main power.. which is almost the same price as SL-60W, that is pretty dumb.

Yeah, especially the ability to use NPF battery is a huge bonus vs sl60W which is wall plug only..

There is a g10, guess they have to skip that or use a variant https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panasonic_Lumix_DMC-G10

So Z50 have Good 4K but average 1080P, I think it is more balance than A6x00 line which have very good 4K and very bad 1080p or m6 ii which have very good 1080p and very bad 4K I just noticed M6II's 120fps is surprisingly sharp, much sharper than normal 1080P from most other camera.

It is not as soft as the light dome, but size is its biggest adventage when u shoot on location as sometimes there is just not enough space for light dome. But if you mainly shoot on studio then light dome is definitely better in terms of full softness

you should really start your own sony rumor site

After using ok lighting (672C and couple 500LED lights) for a few years I decided to step up lighting kit this year, first to the flexible lights like Falconeye RX18-TD and finally settled on Aputure C120D II, and result is quite a dramatic different, I think for the first time we got client ask us what "filters" we use so the photog's photo can have similar colour as our video lol (and that was just a quick grade in Premiere). I really wish i had done this lighting kit upgrade sooner. Definitely will make some of the videos we did much better ugh. Light with Falconeye RX18TD: notice the subject is underexposed and background still overexposed, and the light gives a bit of magenta shift. Lighting with Aputure C120D II on dome mini II, subject is well light and background is well exposed, skintone is pretty good with no colour shift. Client asking what "filter" we use. Light setup for the day.

You need $200 code which some people have gotten the email from B&H, you can also use their live support for the code I think

EOS R super cheap at B&H atm

M6 II 5.1K RAW Video (does 3.5s with DPAF in raw burst mode), way sharper than 4K video. Good to have if you need that absolute DR/max sharpness.

https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2019/11/c68a959ee5a1-breaking-news-panasonic-to-sell-chip-business-to-taiwanese-company-source.html I guess organic sensor is dead in the water?

Btw has anyone used delut clog3 on m6ii? I wonder how it performs vs andrew's clog ?

So far the benchmark result is impressive, with that many core will 8K realtime editing be possible? Or is bottleneck lie somewhere else?
