21 of the 26 countries, yes. Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland and then UK.

Because of the Schengen Visa countries, where its easier to travel across infected countries (Italy, France, Germany and Span mostly) and cities without having easy proof of travel documents. UK comes outside this purview. Having said that, the fact that UK's junior minister of finance is infected herself, and the fact that she met Boris Johnson less than 2 weeks back (more like 1), is a grave matter for concern. UK is suddenly discovering more cases, probably daily, at an alarming rate. Right now, THE WHOLE WORLD needs to be in lock-down, with ABSOLUTELY NO travel between any country. Maybe, all cities should also be on lockdown. People should self quarantine themselves for a month, and hopefully, the spread should have reduced substantially by then. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1043366/novel-coronavirus-2019ncov-cases-worldwide-by-country/

We exited from a gig (some demim Ad), where many members of the team and our clients were frequent flyers, who do a lot of foreign travel. All international airports seem to be at risk, to be honest, and maybe even domestic ones. As are cabs, malls, hyper markets, tubes/subways/metros etc. It may be a good time to stay indoors and away from everyone, for atleast a month. Also the majority of masks available globally, seem to be made in China, around the time the epidemic was building up. Not sure how safe it is to wear contaminated masks, unless one were to disinfect these masks first.

Is there some way to stop the FF trolling on this thread?

Try Makaibari. And brew it within 5% of the instructions. You won't have to drink any that tea after that.

A relentless rant, about the infallible benefits of full frame (a deluding moniker coined by someone who probably hadn't heard of medium format until then), has absolutely no place in a discussion about rumors (and wishlists) about a sensor that measures a little over 1/4th the size of 36x24mm. There are many discussion threats on Full Frame camera, where Full Frame camera discussion would be more appropriate. Let's limit discussion to the M43 format and in specific the GH6, here.

And that's why there are lens options, to help with the field of view. @eleison this is for you. It's far easier to re-crop from 6k, than 4k. It has almost nothing to do with sensor size, and everything to do with the resolution.

They can save money for trade shows and offer more discounts to customers. Also avoid the spread of infections. Don't shake hand with anyone, do the namaste instead. And wear masks, even if they haven't been medically certified. And sun glasses and surgical gloves.

The start of the video was hilarious. I learnt from reading about Henri Cartier-Bresson (and doing it myself), that post is way more important that actually shooting it, and one subconsciously starts figuring out what can be improved or savaged in post, after hundreds and thousands of photos one works on, in post.

Hahaha. Prior art doesn't seem to have helped people fighting the red menace. I doubt it works in genuine cases in the US.

Now that the XT4 has been announced with IBIS, a much larger battery and 240fps, its probably time for Panasonic to start its roadmap for all the GH6 features. The promised EOS R5 8k Canon camera will probably cost a kidney or 2, and the A7siii will probably take another year to even materialise. The 1DX iii is not in the price bracket or even capabilities of the GH line or even M43 in general. But Panasonic can throw a wrench in the works, by creating a codec which isn't RAW, but is seriously punishable in post and handles highlights and shadows extremely well. I believe I figured a way for Panasonic to outwit larger sensor cameras. Maybe it's not safe to post it here, considering the open plagiarism and Patent office and court manipulation that red is infamous for.

Will that be enough though (for the GH6)? Panasonic may have to look for more features to throw in, or a price revision. The XT3 actually eats into both, the M43, as well as the Full Frame market, in many ways.

Who else thinks that this puts pressure on the GH6 to deliver more bang for the buck, especially considering that it will have have the smaller sensor disadvantage, and thus unable to justify a higher price than this?

The sharpness and detail of the Huawei phones are in a different league. Which may be solely credited to Leica super sharp lens (and to a small extent, to probably better processing).

Hmmm ... curious then, what the application for such a sensor would be. Unless the specs sheet is a decoy.

You're right. "The new sensor has 1MP resolution and depth accuracy of 10cm at the distances from 10m to 100m." I am guessing this will be for automobiles. 10 metres is too far for ILC Cameras, as a starting range.

That's bad news. Though I would have imagined that since Panasonic is out of the sensor (manufacturing) business completely, a specialised ToF sensor may be more specific to its own use, than perhaps for clients. Or perhaps Panasonic is using it for its factory use, like you mentioned. DFD is here to stay 😁

Everyone probably know about the theory that Panasonic's DFD is it consoling itself, and trying to help its users believe that everything is great in the focusing aata of the sensor. Maybe Panasonic has finally circumvented the restrictions put by Sony. http://image-sensors-world.blogspot.com/2020/02/panasonic-develops-apd-based-tof-sensor.html?m=1

Sometimes you give very sagacious and beneficial advice.

"How has your relationship with Sigma and Leica evolved over the course of your alliance? We meet periodically to [maintain] our relationship, and right now we’re discussing how to expand the L-mount system. We need some new ideas to expand the system to a wider variety of customers. We cannot disclose details, but [at the moment] we’re discussing changes to the communication protocol between the cameras and lenses." Hopefully this means 2 things: 1. The possibility of installing larger sensors than M43, in M43 bodies (ala JVC LS300), with probably IBiS too. 2. The possibility of ToF and other AF assist sensors on the camera/and lenses to completely circumvent the need for PDAF. The electronic contact points on ILCs need to move to this Century. It needs a complete overhaul in design.

Saw this yesterday somewhere, and it's absolutely amazing. The grading is a little curious, but the digital restoration is superb. I guess it could be upressed to 8k too, if necessary.

Unless they come up with a superb industrial design idea, when the mechanical shutter retracts in, to allow for the electronic variable ND to move forward or backwards. If one were go have 2 distinct camera bodies (and 2 completely different mounts too?) for videos and photo, it wouldn't really be a hybrid camera, would it? Also, then one would rather have a proper cinema camera and a high MP full frame or medium format (Sony A7R iv?)

Unfortunately, that would affect photo quality, substantially. Especially with fast moving subjects and mixed lighting. For video it won't make any difference.

Actually Fuji already has 2 ILC mounts, and they creating a 3rd one, or even if it uses one of the existing ones, for a new sensor size, doesn't make much sense. Plus the XT3 does over 75% of what many full frames do, and many things that many full frames probably don't. With IBIS and slight tweaking of the sensor and/or processing, the XT4 could be a good replacement for a full frame, with a smaller size and better pricing.

*Data is based on 10 Best Picture and Cinematography nominees. And, coincidentally they have Exactly 20 cameras, figured in the total list. Meaning none seem to overlap, and everyone is using a different and yet, single camera model for their entire film?
