Sorry. My bad.

The 2nd last image at the bottom of the page is a Canon 8k Camera of the Cinema line (obviously). It video seems to be fed into the new Mac too. http://www.fcp.co/final-cut-pro/news/2184-apple-announce-the-new-mac-pro-pro-display-xdr-at-wwdc-2019

I also think Panasonic are hiding festured, which they will activate with firmware, as other cameras (mostly the A7siii) are released. Right now what they've released us not worth the extra money, especially since it still has a crop in 4k60p, it could still apparently have heating issues (they seem to have made this up), and 6k and anamorphic don't seem to command the extra $1500 over the S1. Their dynamic range should be the same. I am guessing they could unlock faster frame rates, maybe 12-bit 422 or something, and maybe even windowed 4k at 120fps? Right now the feature set seems slightly underwhelming, especially compared to the S1.

Why a 6k Monitor if one wants to edit 8k, especially if it has 8k real time editing capabilities? The afterburner (FPGA card) thing seems pretty amazing, as do the enormous (and super fast) RAM capacities. The pricing though, seems to be pushing things to the old NLE years (that Grant Petty mentions in his various interviews), where the market wasn't democratic, because they costed in the Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars. Curiously AMD is pushing processing power higher and prices lower (when it releases Xeon beating processors later this year, things should really heat up), and RAM prices crashed with way more production and way lesser demand (until the consortium, by unfair trade practices, slowed production and improvements in RAM speeds and capacities). The only thing missing with the shelf components is the afterburner FPGA card. I hope someone makes that too. Right now, this seems solely made for the 8k RAW shooters.

I am guessing a hardware hack, turning this into a locking pin connector shouldn't be too hard. I am sure someone who is addicted to locking pin connectors or generally curious may try it. It may just requite sticking the female end of the locking connector to the mic in, with a hot glue.

I also wish screens would get larger. Maybe somewhere in between 3 inches and 5 inches could be an interesting middle group. I wonder if we could have have 12-bit 4-2-2, since we also have 10-bit 4-2-0.

I actually agreed with one comment on newsshooter.com, where someone said that Panasonic may be holding their cards, close to their chest, with the S1H, because they would disclose other features, subject to the release of the A7siii or any other video-centric Mirrorless Cameras, expected to disrupt the video centric ILC market. Their silence, and non specific denial, probably means yes.

Considering the majority of Canon's cameras don't do 14 stops (does ANY Canon do 14 stops???), it's amazing that people chose 14 stops of dynamic range, whereas the majority of cameras don't d 14 stops or over, especially if they are smaller than Full Frame (and aren't Nikon). Even the S1R makes it to the 14 Stops Club, by a whisker. Only the last 1-2 generation of Sony sensors seem to be hitting 14 stops and over. What about: 1. Usable ISO of atleast 12800 for video and a stop less for stills. 2. No or Negligible crop in 4k video. 3. Excellent colours out of the camera, so that one can save turn around time, where one absolutely needs to. 4. 14 Stops of Dynamic Range for Stills and Atleast 12 stops for Video. 5. High frame rate video and multiple frame rate and bitrate options. Atleast 120fps 1080p video and a good Log profile. 6. Usable photo burst with continuous autofocus. Also, except for Olympus and Panasonic, none of the other cameras can vouch for IBIS being usable for video. It only applies for photos, and walking in video with the IBIS is going to be pretty much useless.

It was a TYPO (my predictive text has a curious habit of attempting to finish every sentence I begin). Here is about $2700-2800. Mostly I am disappointed that people via B&H had freebies like batteries and battery grips and extended warranties thrown in, at no extra cost. I hope they throw in the VLOG atleast. If it's close to 14 Stops, that would be superb.

Here the S1 is overpriced (about $2500), with no freebies, terrible after sales, no extended warranty and no free accessories. No wonder they aren't going particularly well here.

The S1 with internal 10-bit 4k 60p, without a crop. 6k and almost 6k in Anamorphic. And an Articulating screen, which looks like an S1 with an attachment. There is an improvement over the S1, even if it's not as major as one was hoping. Plus a $1300 price difference. Just out of curiosity, how well is Panasonic's S lineup selling, in comparison with other full frame mirrorless cameras.

h.265 should hopefully make it even better. In image quality it comes very close to GoPro. It could, maybe, get just a hair better than GoPro in the Cinelike mode (since the HDR won't work with RockSteady).

I saw this last night. I agree with Bloom. DJI needs to try and increase dynamic range via firmware and try and adopt h.265 if possible.

I am suddenly left wondering about a few things: 1. Is it the Same sensor as the S1 (with a Larger body and a better processor) or do they really have a new sensor? 2. If this Already Has VLog with 14 stops of dynamic range, why is the VLog on the S1 coming in July??? Plus will that VLog (on the S1) also have 14 Stops of Dynamic Range? 3. The S1H seems more geared for Full Frame Anamorphic(?) and 6k video. So, are there enough improvements on the S1H to actually have a completely new camera for it, and could some of this not have been possible on the S1? Plus while rumprs claim that the larger body will help with better dissipation, I remember reading, somewhere, that overheating may shut down the camera temporarily(?) I am guessing, the larger size may have more spaces for more ports and better storage among other things. Panasonic manages space rather well on its cameras, and they aren't larger without genuine purpose.

The S1 already has 14.5 Stops of Dynamic range for stills. So the majority of this, with the right codec can be used for video (close to 14 stops). Not sure what the S1H has to offer, in addition, except for the 6k resolution for video (And stills)?

Samsung is a little guarded about their sensors and that includes the GM1. Therefore one can never get complete specs and features details about their sensor. IMHO the Sony and Samsung sensors have exactly the same specifications and if someone says otherwise, it may not be true. Most likely Samsung has designed the 48MP sensor, (correctly) expecting an overwhelming response for it, plus using the way more effective advertising network of Sony, and also having Sony manufacture its sensor at their facilities along with Samsung, since it's own manufacturing bandwidth may not suffice. From a bare reading, both have 30fps at Full Res and also have Quad Bayer/ Tetracell technology for having 4 adjacent pixels into a single one with different exposure timing(?) helping the equivalent of HDR, but using different pixels, instead of the same one at different exposures. I could obviously be wrong, but I am guessing no SoC and Computational Photography algorithm has been able to push the sensor capacity to it's full extent. The sensor could actually have more dynamic range then the 1.4 micron dual pixel ones that the majority of flagships presently have. Plus with 30fps Full Res it could also combine both dual (or quad?) exposure pixel HDR (in the GM2 and , as well as exposing the same pixels at different exposure values at extremely short intervals. If any SoC could do this (which would require ENORMOUS processing power), it could have some seriously high dynamic range. https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/image-sensor/mobile-image-sensor/S5KGM1/ https://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press/201807/18-060E/index.html Considering that Samsung is the largest consumer/buyer of smartphone sensors, and that they do innovate on sensor designs (collaborating with Fuji among others?), there is a likelihood that this Quad bayer/Tetra Pixel sensor is an joint venture between Samsung and Sony. Dual Pixel also seems like a Samsung invention, as the much faster PDAF in the latest 64MP and the new 48MP sensor (2nd generation). I just wish Samsung would share complete specs of their sensors.

And from the looks of the partially covered photo/screenshot, it seemed shapes similar to the LT with a protruding viewfinder and manual focus ring. Which means Panasonic is FINALLY moving to Larger Cinema cameras (and thus the L-mount?) probably with improved dynamic range and low light.

They're very close. Though the GX85 is just a hair smaller. https://camerasize.com/compare/#673,816

He attempts to praise the Sony sensor, but I found the Samsung one to be doing better. Which means the sensors are most likely almost perfectly equal, and other hardware and software makes all the difference. Plus the Samsung one handle shake better, so maybe it has OIS (?) or its shake algorithms are better. I am guesses all these are Samsung designed sensors and they are being manufactured at the Sony facility due to some stupid laws and taxes in certain parts of the world. Or something even more ludicrous.

You could test an App on it, at the store. I have tried that with a few devices.

While Tony may be one of the biggest click bait artists in the business, probably uses more makeup and grooming products than his wife and all the ladies in that part of the world (for the longest I thought that was his sister and they were competing on beauty products), is highly confused about which of his conspiracy theories to believe himself etc, one has to give it to him, the guy is truly entertaining. He couldn't crack a joke, even if the Cohen brothers wrote and shot episodes for him, but his theories are entertaining. He does raise some valid points every once in a while, but he is probably more in love with himself talking in the mirror, than doing anything truly well researched. Regardless, he does entertain.

Actually Samsung had some very interesting pixel setup for it's new Dynamic AMOLED screen. I was noticing that it's new screen has a new diamond shape similar to CFAs on specialised filter cameras such as Fuji and others. Though the sizes of various colour pixels different in both (for the screen and for the imaging sensor CFA) majorly, because of the much greater pixel size and much lower pixel count for the screens. Here is a bit of the explanation for the screen pixel layout: "First of all, the Red, Green, and Blue sub-pixels have very different sizes – Blue is by far the largest because it has the lowest light emission efficiency, and Green is by far the smallest because it has the highest efficiency. The alternating Red and Blue sub-pixel arrangement leads to a 45 degree diagonal symmetry in the sub-pixel layout. This allows vertical, horizontal, and particularly diagonal line segments and vectors to be drawn with reduced aliasing and artifacts. In order to maximize the sub-pixel packing and achieve the highest possible pixels per inch (ppi), that leads to diamond rather than square or stripe shaped Red and Blue sub-pixels. But not for the Green sub-pixels, which are oval shaped because they are squeezed between two much larger and different sized Red and Blue sub-pixels. It’s a form of high-tech display art…" http://www.displaymate.com/Diamond_47S.html More than anything, the 100MP camera could have seriously issue with cross talk and colour pixel aliasing, if it didn't have a specialised CFA. The XTrans sensor attempts to deal with that and detail preservation. Hopefully they have a photographic imaging sensor monster, along with much improved algorithms. Any ides on when this 100MP sensor will release @androidlad ?

https://www.thetechstar.in/2019/01/good-news-for-xiaomi-redmi-note-7-note.html?m=1 Maybe I should try and check whether Camera2API had been installed (/activated), from the factory gate or it needs some manner of a hack (root your device). If i have the time, and find a Xiaomi store close not too far away, I will try and figure this out. Ig I get my hands on both devices (having different imaging sensors), I will share pics here. No promises though. Have to make too much effort for it. And I am not a big fan of Xiaomi either.

IMHO I am not sure one would actually be able to compare the quality of the 48MP sensors of Sony and Samsung. Processors, processing algorithms, and many other things dictate the quality of the final image. Unless 2 smartphones have absolutely identical everything in hardware and software, and the sensors are different, there may be a way to determine image quality based on image sensors alone. The Gsmarena.com comparison also didn't seem perfectly fine, for the S10, where they compared processing capabilities of the Exynos and Snapdragon. In one of the pics I found the Exynos version to better (I think there were like 4-5 pic comparisons). I felt there may be angle of view that triggers the level of HDR and exact colours.

I have been watching a lot of comparison videos with the GoPro, and I feel DJI can improve thed Dynamic Range in Cinelike, just a little bit more (they should make it more Log like). Everything else seems pretty amazing to be honest. Especially with the dual screen and this price point.
