That would be great. And some super HDR in Photo and Video wouldn't be too bad. There seem to be a lot of smartphone sized sensors in the pipeline 1/3" to 1/1.2"(?), by Sony and Samsung, though they won't be officially announced until some of then are slated for release in smartphones. Many of thede new sensors will have much better low light, dynamic range and high speed modes (apart from High Res mode). All of these could be of great use in action cams.

I hope it had better quality video than GoPro, at a better price point. The shape is very curious. I am assuming it doesn't have that terrible fish eye effect, and that's why the lens protrudes so much from the body.

Western countries wiped out the Entire Continents of Australia, North and South America, and many parts of Africa, committing genocides that run in Triple Digits in the Millions. You'd be surprised how tolerant people in the world are, global terrorism not withstanding. And all other forums he is a part of.

Could people who've been scammed contact the Depart or Cyber Crimes in Egypt, and file a formal complaint, via email. Maybe that would help someone spend a few days in jail, stop swindling other people, and stop being an internal swindler in general: http://www.mcit.gov.eg/Contact_Us

We should either troll him there, or play a series of jokes on him.

Am a little disappointed. 1/2.3′′ 12MP Sony IMX377 Sensor FOV: 145° f2.8 I hope the HDR is superb, and it has a good log profile. The 8x slow motion seems like 240fps. I am very curious to know what extra is DJI bringing to the table.

I have been finding the Sony IMX586 and Samsung GM1 lacking in low light capabilities and dynamic range. The dynamic range iasues could be due to issues regarding more processing power required from SoCs. Anyways, Samsung has apparently dealt with that by introducing the next generation of the 48MP sensor with better lowlight and dynamic range. MORE importantly it has introduced the Next Generation of smartphone sensor(s) because it has a sensor that does 64MP at Full Resolution or 16MP in Quad Bayer, has much better low light and a claimed WAY higher dynamic range in HDR of 100dB or about 16.5 Stops. If Samsung would allow HEIF or any other 10-bit codec (not sure a smartphone would be able to create 12-Bit RAW out of HDR images), it could help make these photos easier to work with in post. The IMX586 sensor's 12MP photos already look much sharper than most other smartphone photos (they look more like 15-18MP photos in terms of detail), so the 16MP still could be even better eith detail. Some users have ported the Google Camera HDR on the Redmi Note 7 Pro to get 48MP HDR, and the details, and results in general don't look bad. It also seems to have Dual Conversion Gain (DCG) like on the Alexa sensor (?) I hope they make smartphone lenses that are much sharper and able to resolve way more detail than the ones we have presently. I hate carrying that cannot be carried in a denim or shorts' pocket, on a vacation or private travel. Hopefully we won't have to carry anything beyond a smartphone soon. https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-to-bring-industrys-highest-resolution-for-mobile-cameras-with-new-64mp-isocell-image-sensor

I saw these pics. They seemed very boxy early concept notes. Maybe they've built them around these, refining the design substantially.

Some interesting comments on the photorumors site about this (https://photorumors.com/2019/05/08/new-dji-teaser-new-action-camera-or-underwater-drone/) I think it could be an action camera cause an underwater drone may have a much smaller market. An action cam with the Mavic 2 Pro capabilities, could be a guaranteed runaway success, especially if the price point is right.

I read this less than a week back on another site too (cannot recall which one). Apparently DJI is releasing an action camera which may be great news. The action cam market has almost become boring with smartphones doing way better than most action camera, with 960fps, super low light photo and video, water resistance, great dynamic range and many other other tricks. Hopefully DJI has some great tricks up its sleeve, and one may be tempted to carry an action camera, that offers just that extra bit, instead of a smartphone. We should know by the 15th of this Month. https://www.dji.com/mobile/trailer?clickaid=Ngzgwxs8wc6N-NYf85DguFiaPE4ntMBS&clickpid=722074&clicksid=245506a9b55c7da03df676cd72bb0f2f&from=dap_unique&pm=custom&site=brandsite

These seem to be more on point. I guess all categories will have to be specifically measured. https://nikonrumors.com/2019/01/15/the-2019-bcn-rankings-are-out.aspx/amp/ Though I have to agree about the A7iii being quite the bang for the buck.

I could be wrong but the cameras were too noisy for the night shots. Either they were conservative with lighting or poor choice of lenses or something else.

Let's list out the Shortcomings of the EOS R 1. No 4k 60p and no DCI 4k. 2. 1080p only at 23.98/24/29.97/59.94fps. 3. No 120fps 1080p. It still has 720p for high speed video (in 2019???). 4. MP4 video format instead of MOV 5. Internal codec limited to 4:2:0 8-bit internal recording despite that monstrous 480mbps codec MP4. 6. Huge 1.7x crop factor with 4K (some even claim an imaginary 1.8x crop). Meaning low light would be an issue and the quality of sharpness may be debatable 7. Recording time limited to 29:59 for continuous video recording. 8. No IBIS and many of it's new lenses don't have OIS meaning shake would be like a bad amateur after effects job. 9. There was banding in photos, but it seems to have been improved substantially. 9. One of the lowest rated full frame Mirrorless sensors (especially for dynamic range). 10. Class leading rolling shutter (?) 11. PDAF not as effective in 4k as it is in 1080p (only a few people seem to have noticed this, apparently). 12. Not the most impressive battery life. Ok, I got bored writing this. There are a few more points. Maybe you could fill them out when you read this. Hehehe.

The A7iii was such a good value proposition at launch, that if it offered 10-bit 4-2-0 internally at launch, it would have completely destroyed almost all other cameras in its segment. I still think that while the S1 has superb video features (usable IBIS while walking, that insane promised VLog, superb low light capabilities etc), because the VLog will cost other $99-199 more, the gap between the S1 and others in its category will increase substantially (I am guessing it may go up to $700). Considering the lack of PDAF, the much larger and heavier body (like 1.4 times the weight and 1.70 times the volume of the A7iii), lesser battery life (especially in comparison with the A7iii), Panasonic should be careful with the pricing of the VLog. Or they should have charged $2200 for the S1 at launch (wonder if it would have been possible with the class leading EVF, the best IBIS, one of the best weather sealing, and other class leading hardware) and charged another $300 for the VLog (since it may require a lot more work and be too advanced for most users) I feel the price difference between $1999 and $2499 is huge, especially if one plans to pick up more than a single camera. The S1 prices will also go down, the only question is when. The Eos R on the other hand, is at the bottom of its category, and should, therefore have been priced accordingly. PS: These guys believe that a price cut is in the offing wrt to All Mirrors Cameras, including the S1. I am personally hoping the S1 hits $1999 and stays there. https://photorumors.com/2019/04/26/the-full-frame-mirrorless-price-war-has-started/

Thanks for clearing this out ?

I also thought it didn't have PDAF in 4k (it was limited to 1080p).

HUGE RESPECT. I have shot a short film All alone because the DoP and his assistant turned into nymphomaniacs somewhere during the shoot, and just couldn't shoot. I loved the whole experience, even if I wasn't happy with how the short finally turned out. I feel, that one should re-write (touch up and polish), one's first work, after the first 10 projects, so that it looks and feels like it should. Congrats ?

8k will have to wait. There are hardly any TVs with 8k. Plus editing will be a nightmare, 4-2-2 1010-bit will take time etc etc. A 20MP that merges the talents of the GH5 and GH5s would be perfect. And the VLog needs needs atleast 1 full stop more of dynamic range.

Just VLog (No L Rubbish) with almost 13 stops, even better colour science, usable lowlight upto ISO12800, slightly larger screen (just 1/2-2/3 inch larger) and better photography capabilities (14Bit RAW?). The GH5 does almost everything else pretty well. And release that f1.7 zoom, at Sigma Prices, since neither Panasonic nor Leica are probably designing nor making it.

Highlights seem to be blown out in every shot. Panasonic should pay this guy to Prevent this video from being seen by anyone.

Hahaha. You jokes remind me of David Thorpe. What I found surprisingly was the curious reason given by Sigma. It seemed to make absolutely no sense. I will read that thread. Sigma is Panasonic's secret lens designer and manufacturer. And I am guessing, that, therefore all Leica branded Panasonic lenses have Sigma collaborating with Leica, by default. The Quattro cameras weren't really doing too well. They probably lose money on that lineup, whereas their lenses seem to sell pretty well. So they may concentrate on the lens lineup, since thay would bring in the money. Hahaha. Sigma may just increase the price of the EF/SA to-L mount converter and share a % with Leica. Hahaha. Or disable or weaken the autpgovus performance substantially. IF it releases with a converter at all, this year. Ah, all well that ends well. Hopefully. And a few agreements, whether oral or written. And more than anything else, users are dying to get the unrestricted VLog which pushes this camera head and shoulder above the competition for video.

Whoa !!! You've actually made some superb observations. If it was supposed to work initially, and suddenly not work anymore, Without giving any Actual Reasons behind this ("... However, specification changed and and it will not be compatible with Leila's existing L-mount cameras."), it seems to be, IMHO, a Permanent Problem. I didn't even notice the magnitude of the Problem. Leica has been milking some strange mount camera system, where they engage Panasonic to make cameras for them with a very niche market. The cameras and bodies are both ludicrously priced (like most things made by Leica). And suddenly Panasonic believes it would be easier (and better?) to adopt this mount and move to Full Frame from here, instead of creating a Full Frame mount from scratch, thereby addressing issues with the l-mount, to be begin with. The problem is Leica won't let them make zoon lenses that are less expensive (one of the hallmarks of M43 and Panasonic ILCs), unless they are like f4 or slower. And they won't allow them or Sigma or whoever else, to make any nature of adaptor, to ensure that similar zooms are Never Compatible with the L-Mount (Leica or Panasonic or even probably a Sigma Camera, if it were to ever be made with that mount). Does it mean users will be forced to use Prime Lenses where one needs brighter lenses if one cannot afford the Leica's unaffordable pricing. I personally find the f2.8-4 lens to be a bad mix of not being bright enough, and yet Also lacking a Constant f-stop (and also terribly priced, as in the case of Leica). In that sense, atleast the Samsung 16-50mm f2-2.8 seemed like a much better variable aperture lens. It was very bright at one end atleast. Does it also mean that users should not expect Panasonic or Sigma, to ever make f2.8 zoom lenses for the l-mount (or till such time as all leftover Leica Stock of Zooms have been sold and a cooling has been allowed)? Leica hasn't been making many/any f2.8 zooms, and the f2.8-4 zooms don't seem to be intended for the S1 and S1R target audience, atleast due to the pricing (and also due bad autofocus in video, according to some user reviews). Interesting for a Lens System that has 42 Lens Roadmap by the end of 2020.

Aah, very interesting. Though that, unfortunately, limits the zoom options (because of the bad pricing).

Once all the various L-Mount Sigma lenses are released the S1 (and S1 R) will become superb Photography and Videography tools. Their prices seem a lot more accessible (and interestingly, all are primes?).
