So I got the iPhone 7 Plus yesterday. I have to say I'm disappointed in the dual lens system. It's not really a telephoto lens. The iPhone sensor is 1/3" and the actual lenses are 4mm and 7mm. The field of view crop is equivalent to 28mm and 58mm. So as you can imagine a 7mm with a 7x crop isn't exactly an exciting telephoto lens. It's pretty good for keeping resolution while digitally zooming, but that's it. Apple is releasing a software update that emulates bokeh background blur this fall which will help a bit.

Nice job. That's pretty much the opposite of promoting hate. I think some people misread the title or are dyslexic.

Off topic a bit but I watched a Ted Talk explaining that studies show Gen Z actually prefers books and physical objects over digital consumption. Gen Z is the generation after millenials.

The colors are totally different. The focal lengths aren't even the same either. Weird comparison video.

They really should make a BMPCC/BMCC combo and even call it a BMCC mark II. DSLR sized form factor. Articulating screen. Canon battery. SD or CFast 2.0 card slot. EF and MFT mounts.

Sorry, that's what I meant. You need external recorder for C500 for those features.

Question for Core DNA users. My current front thread size for my anamorphic clamp is 77mm. The rear thread on the Core DNA is 75mm. If I use a step down ring (77-75mm) would there be any noticeable vignetting from that? Granted the front diameter of the actual anamorphic lens is only around 61mm.

That definitely doesn't look good. I'd RMA that sucker.

Really? The FS5 is brand new and can't really compete with the C500s color, native EF lens mount, and 4k/60. The catch though is having to use a big external recorder. It's not a deal breaker for some but I think the standard form factor of the Cx00 cameras is ideal.

Starts at 5:44 They have no problem putting C-Log on 8 bit C100 files...

It's a great camera, and the image is excellent. But, in my opinion it doesn't have enough features that are relevant in 2016 to warrant $7,000. If it had DPAF I'd say yes definitely.

Awesome job. Loved it. The actor looks like he could be Oscar Isaac's brother.

Surprised at how close the colors are with the GH4 and 5Div. The A7Sii looks like shit in that comparison.

I'm planning on preordered the 7+ tonight. I'm due for an upgrade and the telephoto lens is really the only thing I was looking forward to other than it being water resistant.

Exactly. It's not like we're talking about professional recording equipment here. It's your phone. I was looking at a tangled ball of white iphone charger, and headphone cords thinking this is so ridiculous. It may take a few years but cords are going away in mobile tech.

Failing is the likely scenario. They might've used all of the deposits for R&D.

What year did you expect the 50 yr old 3.5 jack to survive till? I'm stoked about a future with no cords in mobile tech.

You would think if it was a big scam to cash in on deposits that they would have at least made up some sort of amazing specs sheet.

Turboguard was talking about cropping into a UHD frame as a "second camera" at 100% zoom. Useful for a cutaway closeup. I try not to use this technique unless I have no other choice, but it does give you 2 different framing options in post. 1 wide at UHD, and 1 close (zoomed 100%) at HD. When you render the final output at HD you aren't losing any resolution with the close-up crop. The wide UHD frame isn't either b/c it's scaled down to HD. I hope that makes sense. It's hard to explain without drawing.

They said 56mm but I'm guessing that's the 35mm equivalent.

The rez would be 960x540. Depending on your final output it could look muddy.

Cropping into 1080 wouldn't look good IMO.

I can't take a cinematographers point of view seriously when they don't even know what modern digital cinema cameras can do.

Yeah I mentioned the defective UM's. Those are the ones with the magenta corners and splotches.

I cropped in 100% on this video with the UM46k, using 4K.
