ND64

Because it needs more processing power. Raw is pure ~9 million data points. But a demosized image is 9 million x 3 data points plus gamma curve pluse color matrix plus white balance plus sharpening plus temporal noise reduction plus bit depth reduction plus color subsampling plus encoding.

What makes Canon Dual Pixel a superior solution is mostly its software side, not the huge number of AF pixels it employs. Sony is already way faster in reading out the AF data. The problem is the way they calculate that data. Sony put all their energy into hardware performance that seems forgot they need to fine tune the codes.

Still very big peak at blue range. Poor models may suffer from macular degeneration sooner that they think :-)

Thats the IBIS price you gonna pay. Without a fixed heatsink these sensors should overheat.

Excuse me, "PJs can't handle 4k60p" and "PJs want 20fps raw burst" contradict each other. Give them a usable modern codec and then ask if they do care about 60fps or not. By the way, its not really a 20fps camera. The actual number is 12. and with mechanical shutter its only 5. So even in still, its not much better than NX1, speed/bandwidth wise. Sony just dropped a marketing bomb, and everybody panicked.

PJ still market is like a dead body. Way fewer people buy D5/1DX style cameras these days compared to even 2012. I don't know why they suddenly decided to focus on that segment.

They could make this beast a perfect camera with internal 10bit recording! Why Sony? WHY?

in mirrorless market, Sony was #1 in Japan, but now its #2, overthrown by Olympus which was in financial difficulties. in the US, and in Full Frame segment, Sony is still a single player. Wait Canon (and even Nikon) enter the ring, and things will be different.

GH4 was/is king of video oriented cameras of the world, and what happened to the group who made it? Top managers send them to the same division that is responsible for refrigerators! The ILC market is facing existential questions. I doubt focus peaking and log profile can change this miserable situation.

Bitrate is 144mb/s. D-light and stabilization is only available in HD. Limitations of electronic stabilization is understandable, but I don't know why they couldn't make D-light ready for 4k. Implemented correctly, it has potential to become a must have feature in video shooting. Maybe lifting shadows of every 4k frame is tough job for its still-optimized CPU.

But there was 600x, which could handle 90MB/s. MagicLantern 1920x960@60 14bit lossless is around 70MB/s.

So basically they made a beast back then, but converted it to a minion for some financial concerns.

Once upon a time, I was a dead serious religious guy. Many things happened and I'm now a completely different (a.k.a atheist) person. But still its amusing to see my ex-brethren are so wrong about their religion. There are some four century old mosques in middle east that look like a very ordinary humbly designed modest structure, but when you enter it you end up with a heavenly courtyard. You have to experience it to believe it. Architectures back then got it right. Faith is not about outside pose, its about inside richness. Jesus would never say Its the way I am, deal with it. He would say I'm nobody, but I can review 1DC for you for free.

Google needs to hire humans to handle human stuff like freedom, culture, content quality, controversies.. etc. AI algorithms that can't even realize jokes shouldn't manage everything.

Linux is out of question. For servers and cloud, its the best OS, but for pro photo/video works? No way. Even installing a GPU driver is ultimate IQ test. There was a slight hope for Android tablet or Chrome OS, but nobody even talk about them anymore. Besides, which one of software makers would spend millions of dollars on R&D to rewrite million lines of code for any alternative platform?

It was the most 10bit article of EOSHD to date, but some people still can't notice the difference.

We didn't complain. We Want! and no its not being out of touch with anything. Today electronics are able to deliver it at $2k price range, but its a capability %98 of the target market will probably never use, so to Japanese camera makers its just a clear wasting R&D money.

But even a 3k 4:1 raw is around 150MB/s. No SD card can handle that.

They are in trouble because most of DSLR owners are satisfied with their current gear and new generation kids are satisfied with their smartphone, not because they didn't add IBIS or focus peaking. Even if they release the best video-enthusiast oriented camera tomorrow, though makes internet buzz for few days, won't save them financially.

This is more than 12 stop HDR image. Its Jpeg. Its 8 bit file.

Your eye is not trained enough. To my ears, all fighter jet engines sound same, but there are people who can hear the difference. Does it matter? I don't know.

Apparently customer support budget is mostly concentrated on few markets where they feel they have more chance to grab market share, like Europe.

What do we want? 12bit 4:4:4 Where do we want it? Internal When do we want it? Now.

Take us with you to new server Take us with you to the stars Take us with you to the heaven

With raw, you can reserve the data for unknown time in future when possible software inventions will help you (or people live after you) to get more from the same file. Being about demosaicing algorithms, NR, or color science.
