Reading between the lines it sound like RAW may come at a later date and we still don't know if 4K60p will have a crop. At least it looks like 10-bit 4:2:2 is coming.

Some interesting comments from dpreview Sony Interview. https://www.*BAD_URL*/interviews/2430888908/exclusive-sony-confirms-a7s-ii-successor-this-summer-everything-is-new

More details leaked on the R6. Unless you need 8K or RAW then this looks like a nice alternative to the R5. https://www.canonrumors.com/here-are-more-canon-eos-r6-specifications-cr2/ Canon EOS R6 Specifications: (New information in BOLD) 20mp full-frame CMOS sensor IBIS 12fps mechanical and 20fps electronic. Oversampled 5K Video 4K @ 60p FullHD @ 120p Canon Log 10-bit Zebras AF identical to the EOS R5 No RAW video mode Dual SD UHS-II slots Head detection AF Animal detection AF Identical 5 million dot EVF as the EOS R5 No top-down screen Build quality not as good as the EOS R5 Bluetooth 4.2 (EOS R5 to get Bluetooth 5.0) LP-E6NH Battery (Same as the EOS R5) Announcement July 9, 2020 Under $2500 USD (Rumored)

Yes, the stacked sensor with DRAM is the real reason for the faster sensor readout. But the cost to include the DRAM on a 108mp sensor is probably too cost prohibitive for a while yet, so in effect the greater MP is limiting the sensor readout speed. I prefer Sony's approach and hope that others will follow. We don't need higher MP or 8k for a phone camera.

An interesting comment from Sony on the 108mp sensors vs the latest 12mp sensor. https://***URL removed***/news/8550800535/sony-provides-an-in-depth-look-at-the-sony-xperia-1-ii-camera-tech "Sony says the conventional design of the sensor offers faster read-out speeds than the pixel-binning Quad-Bayer technology deployed in most current high-end phones. The entire sensor can be read out in 10ms versus 32ms for a 12MP image from a Quad-Bayer sensor."

A Firmware update? https://***URL removed***/news/4713396795/panasonic-announces-5-9k-prores-raw-video-for-lumix-dc-s1h

To further clarify the Asterisk. (When in 8K RAW, 8K/4K DCI modes.)

The best news is that they have delayed the next show until May 2022. Hopefully they keep it to every 2 years.

If you have Rubbing Alcohol lying around you can create your own sanitizer containing at least 2/3 rubbing alcohol and the rest with Aloe Vera Gel.

It will be interesting to compare how the different health systems respond. There could be a higher percentage of non-reported case in the US if people cannot afford to go to a clinic or hospital as it seems that the government hasn't reacted quick enough to setup the necessary infrastructure for testing. This will lead to further spreading of the virus. I live in the largest province in Canada and they will be closing all schools for the next 3 weeks. I expect the rest of Canada to implement something similar over the next couple of days.

I would suggest that the below numbers from that link are more indicative of the current death rate and of what is yet to come from those currently afflicted.

The NBA just cancelled the season after a player contracted the Virus. I suspect all North American Sport leagues will be shut down by next week.

Does that mean the GH5 will have an integrated battery grip as well? 😮

I wonder if we will see the same complaints that the E-M1x had.

A couple more tidbits from Robin Wong's latest video.

Wouldn't this stacked sensor have DRAM due to the 120fps readout?

So it all comes down to the effectiveness of IBIS of handheld video.

I wonder how long ago this decision by Sony was made? This could explain why we have no new sensor from Fuji and Olympus. I thought we would see more cameras with stacked sensors this year but now that won't happen as these sensors require lots of DRAM

So here are the other items confirmed for video. 4:2:2 10-bit external Video IS: Image Stabilizer sensitivity can be configured in three steps Video: Auto ISO in M-Mode Recording selectable between 96kHz/24bit and 48kHz/16bit

It is 4:2:2 10-bit external according to Olympus US site

I hope Andrew has registered eos8k.com

A minor update from Olympus. Olympus Germany has a good comparison of the differences and below I pulled what I could find for video. https://www.olympus.de/site/de/c/cameras/om_d_system_cameras/om_d/e_m1_mark_iii/e_m1_mark_iii_comparison.html BIS: 7 EV (vs 5.5 EV) Body only and 7.5 EV (vs 6.5 EV) SyncIS improved face/eye AF with Face Selection More AF point setting for video (Mark II only had single point or whole area) High speed movie: 120fps (1920 x 1080 / MOV) Movie AF: Speed and sensitivity can be configured for Video Sound: Improved sound quality thanks to new preamplification
