  1. Well I upgraded my Mavic Pro to P4 Advanced with recent specials and after hearing Mavic 2 only have 1/1.7" sensor, the image quality difference in low light is pretty big and so as as shooting 50P which mavic quality is really bad.

  2. Excellent Video David

     

    Btw Viltrox will release their EF-EFM speedbooster in a month or two, and price will be similar to their current M2 adapter... so if you want to sell yours for min loss it is the chance

  3. The next version of Mavic Pro will have 1/1.7" sensor which is bigger than the current 1/2.3" but still much smaller vs 1", guess 1" is too big (or power hungry) even for rumored bigger size for Mavic Pro 2, hence I bought a P4A on special (few hundred dollars off + further 10% discount) recently, the image quality totally blow my Mavic pro away!

    Gah, I have the money, so might just pick one up. I’ll have the whole summer to practice. And at NAB they showed it with the BMPCC4K so it should work right?

    Yes, one of their guy commented on FB that Canon and Blackmagic support is coming in the next firmware

    not to mention i'm seeing some pretty severe spherical abberation from the sample pics of that custom adapter.. usually result of poorer quality focal reducers..

    I don't agree at all.
    Its not about DOF. Its about distortion and compression.
    FF is not just about DOF and all m4/3 users should understand how optics affect the image .You can't get a 50mm look in a m4/3 with a 25mm. You can however buy a speed booster, use FF lenses to get an approximated look...

     

     

     

    I guess once you actually own the cameras of different sensor you will know, right now you just keyboard analyzing

    Time to google results with the 30min limit removed then. I seem to remember people had some impressive running times.

    Only for Camera with APP,  Cameras like A9/A7RIII/A7III dont have APP anymore, so no more 30min hack to them. 

     

    I personally bought a bunch of those app, the timelapse app is what I used the most, sucks you can't use it on new Sony cam anymore argh.

    @ntblowz

    Regarding the Speed Booster, do you have a link to this guy in Korea doing the conversion?

    Also does it Dual Pixel AF through it after conversion or are the electronic contacts completely useless?

    I've been very lightly toying with the idea of an M50 but only for my Super 16 glass which adapts and matches the 4K crop factor.

    If it becomes a Super 35mm camera, that means it goes from nearly 3x crop to 1.5x crop with your Speed Booster - which would need a reduction factor of 0.5x!!... Seems a bit of a hefty step? Isn't the Speed Booster 0.71x for APS-C? Which would mean 2x crop like Micro Four Thirds on the M50...

     

    The guys is selling again

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/EOS-EOSM-Focal-reducer-Auto-focus-adapter-EF-EFM-EF-to-EFM-EOS-to-EOSM-Booster/302738475602

    Everything functions like normal, DPAF works fine  (though I do find my 35mm F2 IS USM is more smoother than 50mm 1.8 STM),  lens correction for EF lens works fine too (dont have ultra wide to test out distortion yet)

    Regarding the crop factor in 4k I thought it was 2.56x?  isn't 2.56*.71=1.8x? or is the crop even more?  I just base on it on calculation, though I need to test it vs gh5s regarding crop factor to see which have narrow view.

     

    EOS Utility v. 3.8.20 works with M50 on tethering

    @ntblowz any 4K samples or initial thoughts on the camera. I’ve already seen some decent grey market prices pop up on it, but I’m waiting until more footage shows up before I open the wallet. 

     

    I did a interview shot with c100mkii and m50 in 4k after the trip in japan.. sadly c100 @ 1080p is still sharper than m50 @ 4k, but m50 was using efm 11-22mm @ f4 and 2 c100mkii on 50mm stm and 35mm usm both stop down to f2.8 I think,  so lens might have a play there.

     

    Colour wise it is still got canon look which looks good without any grading, easily fit with c100 with just minor touch.

    Your picture shows the Viltrof EF- E II adapter...but that is an E-mount adapter? See here

    Can you point us in the direction of a EF - EF-M focal reducer with AF (as there are many 'dumb' options)

    Like Alpicat said it was modified to EFM mount and EFM connector at back from E mount, there is no manufacturer making it except some Korean guy who modify other brands to retrofit to EFM mount.

    @ntblowz @Timotheus I emailed Viltrox last week and they mentioned they're going to release a speedbooster for eosm in a few months - although I don't know when they'll announce that officially. Metabones previously also told me they were looking into designing one but were unable to discuss any details at all. Looks like you had your speedbooster modified to fit the M50 with electronic contacts? It looks great!

    Personally I look forward to using a speedbooster with the original eos m with magic lantern, especially now that it can do continuous raw recording at 2.5k resolution in crop mode with the sd card hack.

    Good to know other manufacturer are going to make one, technically it should be much easier to do since it just Canon system passing through, dunno why they still haven't make one yet!  For me I need one asap for works so can't wait that long.

    I am curious, does anyone know the Exact size of the GH5s sensor?  Someone on DVD Forum claimed it was 17.8x10mm, but that aspect ratio seems VERY strange. 

    The sensor on the BMPCC 4k is 18.96mm x 10mm as stated on its own site. 

    Sony states that it's IMX294 sensor has a Diagonal Measurement of 21.63 mm (which is in the 17:9 ratio. So, effectively the sensor on the BMPCC 4k is an off the rack Sony IMX294 sensor. 

    Which curiously seems to be the same sensor on the GH5s as well as the Z Cam E2.

    But, the GH5s seems to have uncropped HD at almost 200fps, and then after that it seems to crop in for higher frame rates (please correct me if I am wrong). Whereas, on the BMPCC it claims not to crop in at upto 100 fps or so, and then it crops in. How is it possible that 2 different ratios exist for the same sensor? 

    That depend on the CPU and programing inside the camera I guess? Like GH5S can't do RAW or Prores or how only E2 can do 4K 120fps but other two can't

  12. There is plenty of hobbyist drop big $$ on hasselblad & leica stuff, they cost way more than ursa mini pro

    (especially with Chinese tourist i see, they even buy kid's leica camera to use lol)

     

    It is still cheap compare to some other hobbyist like cars/boat/gliders/airplane, we have one person in our work fly a glider every other weekend, another one fly and own a soviet yak-52 as hobby, he said it cost few hundred dollars to fly his yak-52 each time

     

    For me gh5s is good investment, did 20k job with it so already got money back and just come back from a nice trip in japan  :) (it sucks to go on holiday without spending some on nice food and nice hotel lol)

     

    Though i use different camera when on holiday or other stuff but i m not alone in that one, i also found out some photog use different camera when they are on holiday (i know two use canon professionally but use fuji for other stuff), that way i have a different "mood" so i am actually on leisure and not remind me of myself working.

    It depends on the users. This camera will probably blow the GH5S, A7S II right out of the water. Actually the original pocket already did that.

    But I guess if you need high iso, IBIS and all those things, I guess a GH5S would be better. But I don't need that. I use lights, and stabilization tools which are far superior. I feel like 90% of this community is for event, party shooters and not for commercials, or filmmaking.

    GH5s doesn’t have IBIS

     

    We did a 20k promo using gh5/Gh5s, the 10bit really makes a difference, when we tried same setting on 8bit in resolve it just turn to banding/noise clustfuck 

  14. EVA1 with the raw update (5.7K 30P, 4K 60P and 2K 240P in RAW) in combination with Inferno's Prores RAW seems like a big winner to me, much more flexible than C200's internal raw which is only available in 4k.

     

     

     

    When shooting 4K60P prores raw gives you about 21 min vs 15min on C200's Canon light raw on a 128GB card, but if you decide to shoot 4K 30/25/24 you can get around 40 min of prores raw vs 15min on C200 lol, similar to GH5 with 400Mbps get you around 40minish footage too.. but Prores RAW gives you much more flexibility!

  15. Good to know i m wrong, dont mind spend few thousand dollars on computers that gonna last me a while and frustration free..  (*cough* premiere *cough*)

     

    feel pity for people who can't spend on Pro, they are gonna stuck with ARM I guess for future low end apple product.
