How smooth are the transitions in your opinion? I find all sorts of jumps while focusses on Panasonic cameras in video. Would you say these are comparable with a smooth manual focus pulling action?

Apple has a (justified) paranoia about security and compromise. That is why they moved from Flash to HTML5, among a host of other software. Intel is a security nightmare thanks to Meltdown and Spectre and a host of other hazards that nobody probably talks about. Plus looking at smartphone chip developments, it seems Intel has been sleeping for way too long. I hope AMD makes a threadripper version for laptops to compete with this i9 for both performance and price. Intel has also been abusing its dominant position by overhanging for its processors. It is another Canon. And since Canon celebrated its No.1 position for the 15 Consecutive Year, it doesn't really care about what a handful of well informed filmmakers (youtubers, documentary makers etc etc) want.

You seriously nailed it. Also the Charlatans more than anyone else, are to be blamed for this entire mess. Their ludicrous private chats with the male child (since he seems to have a history of misleading, and more importantly because nobody has met him yet, I don't believe he deserves the benefit of the doubt) is the cause for all this mess. He made all sorts of claims, and the forum's male mothers began giving in, molly coddling him, and openly defending the fraud. They blew all logic and reason to the wind. If they knew some school shootout kids, they would get down on the streets to defend them. People who merely asked for proof were called bullies, whereas he and his mummy-daddies were the ones doing the actual name calling. Today is 1st April. But it hardly matters. If this great child genius hacked his camera successfuly he didn't need a future date to give proof. And NOBODY in the world is so busy, that they can chat on this threat for Hours, and yet not give proof of a Single DNG file for the raw hack. Especially if it has been in use already. I am not sure what came out of all this. I doubt whether the gullible blind fools will admit their folly in private, much less in public.

By 1st April 2022, I will release a hack whereby you will be able to shoot 5k RAW on you Mavic Air. I am sharing this pic. I don't know what's it's got to do with the 5k hack, but honestly, who cares.

Even after the incentive ... I guess, a damp squid is a damp squib. I wonder if any more proof of fraud is required.

Thank you. I think both the pics are JPEG quality (4k in 4-2-8 8-bit, and curiously their exposure seems Pretty Off, visible from how quickly the photo disintegrated when he tried to sell it as a DNG file). That's why his effort at trying to fool us fell flat on his face. The position of the cars and trucks at the traffic signal give it away. Also they are less then 5 seconds apart, as can be noticed from the position of various vehicles and ships/boats in the pic. People claiming he is some 12 year old, mentally unsound, undicovered geek, oppressed kid blah blah blah are the ones feeding all the tomfoolery. These members should be given a 1 week ban. He didn't ask money yet, most likely because, Fortunately a Lot of Members started shouting wolf ! Thank you all the people who remember Sadaawi. I am guessing, that otherwise he was planning to make a few quick bucks off a campaign for a RAW hack and some NX1 sales (the Sale for the 31st could have been a Pilot Project with a pushing back of dates, to accomodate a few more sales, sharing more random JPEGs as DNGs). I wish there was someone from Interpol on EOSHD. He would help bring in a lot of (in)famous people from across various countries. There are many ways of improving most pics in post. Also the difference in this case seems minor, at best.

There are way too many strange things. This photo just happens to be one of them. The ships could be in this particular formation during certain times of the day, but the construction crane(s), vehicles at traffic signals etc etc are just a complete giveaway. For someone who is apparently, ahem, struggling with his English, and his early years, his command over language is way more impressive than almost all native english speaking members here. I noticed this in so many posts of his. It couldn't possibly be google translate. I doubt it is that eloquent. I guess this keeps getting more exciting. Almost out of an Agatha Christie Novel.

Has anyone actually met @Arikhan in person, or have you only chatted with him in private message chats? Why does he remind me of that honest multi-generation genius named Ebrahim Saadawi, who graced this community with his frequest posts, not so long ago.

Nice idea. Start small. Limit sublissions to like 20 short films initially. And the shorter the films the better (I went to a short film festival recently, where films were upto 30 mins long, and some were very difficult to watch). Get some alcohol company on board (it could be your local brewery) or some food guysè. So that for the submission fee, you get a free pint Free, along with the ticket. People always want freebies. And for non film audiences, shorts are initially a little difficult to sell. I used to attend a large film festival almost religiously and do a marathon watching like 5 films daily, for 5-6 days (I bunked all work during the festival week). I have relocated cities since, but TBO after the festival got all political and stopped giving early bird discounts and discounts to filmmakers I stopped attending. Also, their fee like doubled. I felt they were just mismanaging or scaming people after I discovered how much funding they were getting. I guess the most important thing for a festival is to connect with the audience.

Fair enough, I guess. Let's wait another 10 days to find out.

I obviously missed the 1st April deadline. I guess the fact that it co-incides with April Fool's Day makes it more intriguing.

I guess You're Right. Magic Lantern had a large team of developers who didn't unearth RAW already hiding within the features or capabilities of a camera (ala how Cinelike V and D were unearth on the GX85/80). They created RAW specifically, from the ground up. While the NX1 could be hacked into shooting all sorts of codecs, it would require some seriously intensive work, by a large group, not by some guy who randomly read a reference interview of a Samsung official who outlined the capabilities of the sensor and processor. I don't doubt for a second that a hacked NX1 would be wayyyy more capable than the 5D Mark iii with Magic Lantern. What I doubt is, whether someone in this thread has already done it. This was, therefore, a damp squib. R.I.P.

From the same (Imaging Resource) interview shared above: "DE: The video streaming through HDMI port, is that 4:2:2 on everything? JK: It's 4:2:2 out the HDMI 1.4 port; it's 4:2:0 as it goes to the SD. And it's H.265 to the card for both HD and 4K, so whatever video mode you're saving to SD card, it's using H.265, so you're going to get much more efficient and better-quality HD out of it." I am guessing it's a spftware limitation since it does write RAW photos to card.

I am guessing the difference in HLG may be much less. You either expose for the highlights OR the shadows. Also the colour isn't as flat as Log. It is therefore much closer to non-log profiles.

Hahaha. I never get the obvious. Maybe it helps that I didn't read any reviews that said that there any issues with photo and video. I wonder if they could do a 200mbps 4-2-2 8-bit codec too. I am guessing this could handle it internally. And if these cameras were tested in the desert, I am sure heat may not be an issue.

I was unable to see it. Was it perhaps due to the camera units being review units? To prevent then from being stolen (either the cameras or the videos) perhaps?

Jordon Drake is the tall, seemingly uncomfortably in front of the camera guy. The other guy is Chris Niccolls, who has enough hair gel/ hair wax for a an entire village. They actually do a superb job with their reviews. Jordon implied that the viewfinder had major issues, but as Chris pointed out, he probably exaggerated the claims. They have improved it majorly, even if it isn't in GH5/G6 territory.

Based on your argument, since Canon had been leading the ILC market for the longest, there was no need to introspect on the need for lighter weatherproof cameras and cameras that do nore than Full Frame/ 1080p. I remembered the BBC argument because of bitrate requirements previously, I guess during the time of the GH2 and/or a few other cameras. I saw a very interesting video of Dave Dugdale where he compared how well the Sony A6500 held up against the Panasonic GH5, in 8bit (4-2-0 100mbps) vs 10bit (400mbps 4-2-2) http://www.learningvideo.com/gh5-5-review/ Has the A7iii been around long enough, to have statistical data conducted regarding users??? I thought it hasn't even been released it yet. This is too random, and doesn't really mean anything. 1. I don't live in the States, but I pick up equipment all the time from there. I am sure a lot of people buy equipment from the States, who don't live there. 2. You assume professional photographers only have 1 camera or use 1 camera at a time. I know many professional photographers who own 3-4 cameras at a time. 3. Many people buy high end ILCs, and are brilliant at photography, and they aren't really professional photographers (in the sense that they don't sell their pics). Both these suggestions seem fair. I don't know why users globally should have to suffer due to some stupid EU laws.

Since Sony seems to have addressed the overheating, low battery life and IBIS (except when walking) issues, I wonder if a lot more people would move to Sony (at the A7 iii price range of cameras) if the 30min recording time limit were removed (it seems to be the only serious shortcoming for people looking to shoot longer work like concerts and ENG stuff)? The Sonys seem to have some excellent autofocus for video (and obviously stills), something missing in the Panasonics. The A7iii lacks serious weather sealing (it has resistence or something), which is ok for most people I guess. Lens prices were prohibitive for a lot of good zooms and many primes, but since Sigma seems to have promised 9 lenses for the Sony A series, I guess that issue, to some extent, should also be addressed. The 10-bit video codec mandate is great, but it sounds more like fuddy duddy fluff, almost like some ludicrous rules made, which don't affect final delivery, but merely interfere with your choice of camera. I remember the BBC also making all sorts of such strange and unnecessary rules. Is there any other feature that people think is necessary in Sony cameras (8-bit 4-2-2 internal?), which is missing presently?

If Sony implemented Unlimited Recording Time, I could see this eating into the GH5's market (except where 10-bit 4-2-2 is necessary) big time. No over heating issues, LCD that can be seen in bright light and great battery life (comparable with the GH5). Sony seems to be finally listening. If they redesigned the menu fron scratch, added time-lapse and added some 4-2-2 8-bit internal codec, that could effectively end it for a lot of players. For $1999, this is a lot of camera. I hope Sigma hurries up with their promised new lenses.

"I asked some of my Samsung sources about the recently "rumored" comeback of the NX mirrorless camera line and they all laughed ..." Photorumors us as reliable as the rumour itself. Wow.

Pretty amazing. Don't you think we should have a "Bring Back the NX Series" Thread for Samsung, and promise to pick up (atleast) 1 each of the NX2 if they bring it back. A Kickstarter kind of Campaign where there are Pre-Orders based on stated specs may be a great idea. From the look of things above, even the NX1's processor may be able to handle a lot more juice, with merely a completely new processor onboard. Like 8-bit or 10-bit, and some HDR tricks in JPEGs like in Smartphones.

"Sony Corporation today announced that it has developed a 1.46 effective megapixel back-illuminated CMOS image sensor equipped with a Global Shutter function." We can expect this sensor to hit APS-C and Full Frame cameras by 2020.

Except the fact that it could have been recorded on a host of other smartphones, many of them more capable.

Absolutely. Also, the chances of dust and other stuff landing on the sensor is enormous, anywhere outside of a very small closed studio. I saw this beautiful location for a film (we were on a reccee), and I usually change lenses all the time, and almost, inadvertently changed lenses here. Luckily I didn't, cause this is like a mini canyon, with sand and dust, and that would have been the end of the reccee.
