For a simple reason. We all know BMD IQ standard , that's why so. Isn't it, guys? ; -)

Sure. That's a mere comparison though. Sound and image don't compare at all as much as hearing and sight are senses of a very different nature. With much distinct limits indeed. See the example between animal species of unrelated kind as far as their sensory system range concerns. Therefore, perception is the main key element then. That's all about that. Fair point anyway, Aaron (E :- )

Sure : ) But there are physical boundaries marketing tend to pretend they are not mindful :-)

Agreed :-)

Yeah, I guess that link up there is pretty useful as current update indeed : ) Let's wait and see : - )

Outstanding cinematic combination... BTW @kidzrevil spill the beans on the leftover (camera used, settings, etc ; -) PS @ usual_suspects: Let's stop with this hostile downvoting mania for once please. Has no place in goodwill (go figure when plain nonsensical) within a civil location such as a friendly forum like this one must be. With seatable 4-legs couches for everyone : -)

Well, quite frankly, I guess Andrew's move goes exactly in and on the opposite direction : ) Reason why he actually earns our most sincere kudos, it doesn't matter where our personal professional (or not) ballpark is : -) BTW PRO only means you do it for living or are getting paid off for.

Another one where is also possible to compare with its louder Mavic version competitor (see end of the test): s

Here's another one even though only a bit better, not perfectly finished but gives an idea on the potential: Graded & further greenish saturated as unsharpened image test with highlights under control, those 100Mbps acquisition don't seem to hold their breath so bad at all, I think and place my bet on it (from YT sample BTW!) -- have seen those solid reds to gain nasty artifacts along steppy edges much quicker I tend to find there in some other similar sources:

Seems nobody did care... here goes some unofficial though -- promising to say the least (Part II): Add a glass filter in front of it and here you have -- IQ resolution looks like pretty decent as usual in general for these aerial 4K capture devices of nowadays: And here's finally a grab from my desktop now -- control the highlights and you'll find your HDR aerials outcome well under $1000, for 2/3rds of the price actually: Not the best but the only one to offer this without going to post: What about official footage?

A cinema camera indeed... ; ) And what about the aerials, @AaronChicago ?

Limited internet from here now. Can anyone post some grabs please? Thanks :-)

$100 less than Mavic Air under $700 mark from this July 1 in so short 20 days to come seems pretty cool, to say the least. And the finest example of what an European company can do without endless delays, tease and customary waiting : ) My very 100 Kudos to them! : -) https://techcrunch.com/2018/06/06/parrot-responds-to-the-mavic-air-with-its-own-folding-drone/ http://bestdroneunderhalfapound.com/anafi-parrots-folding-4k-drone/ http://www.euroinvestor.com/news/2018/06/06/parrot-launches-anafi/13839303

Don, I am also wondering as much as Chris actually, so I think you can always stand corrected that one anyway. Downvotes are killing this location as well some other ones. You should all count on it... E : -)

Like Nani Moretti said once when some interviewer asked him on the poor public reaction over one of his pieces and work... What audience we're talking about? What movie reviewers we're talking about? -- I legitimately wonder myself now. Even Roger Ebert was too weak and he was the most famous one ever, I guess. - E. (former awarded movie critic) PS: BTW, I had the chance to personally be involved with Zentropa during Breaking The Waves prepping more than twenty years ago now, exactly throughout such activity on his biography and filmography. Nothing more surprises me about LvT. He is simply one of the most interesting contemporary film creators, if not, 'the one' still alive-n-kickin'... simply a legend. And a major influence. Maybe not precisely for his generation but decidedly for several next ones, not only the immediately subsequent one. Dogma 95 as for instance was only a beginning -- his contribution is well beyond that... I invite anyone to (re)watch Europa (1991). That language could never be the last course of the road. Neither that shooting style as many uneducated movie critics on his work and film aesthetics itself have implicitly intended to understate.

Only 5 years...?! ; ) Amen (E :-)

To or from Spain? Because they're based there... I am puzzled on that one.

In fact, Don. These major players are tough manufacturers. Their glass never disappoints, at least to me :-) I fully agree on that one, Jon. We live great times... My own expectations in 2001 when HDCAM arrived (and put my plans out of film path) have been beaten indeed. I personally heard Tonino Guerra to tell me and a few other people there that those Japanese cameras were the future. Michelangelo Antonioni dreamed with when he shot The Mystery of Oberwald two and a half decades before. Pity he had no chance to be with us nowadays.

I guess so. But never tested it, so no opinion about. Even though, I've read some jerky corrections may introduce any noise to the complement. Well, just wondering now...

They're great : ) My 1st one was the 24-105 f/4 and I actually recall I even posted on dvxuser a non-scientific test I made in Germany I remind now... ten years ago hehe just remember ;-) IBIS is another class though. Nothing a gimbal won't work out anyway. IQ 12-bit RAW will be the paramount here. BMD color science matches fulfilling the combo, as well, the 4/3" format IMO.

Let's hope they may develop the thing though : ) You're right : ) Merely part of the filmmaking process. There's no straight out of the box with no subsequent effort... @webrunner5 thanks for posting, pal :-)

Canon FD glass is a luxury that is not dispensed with... Once addicted, count on forever, my friend : ) People call it old, yeah... Once, a hotel owner in Rome told me it is not old! It is antique hehe :-) Vintage in our terms means gouden standaard :D BTW, I nowadays live half an hour away of Leica standard manufacturing... ; ) Sorry for the contamination LOL

Apples to oranges, I second that Chris : ) No idea if the manufacturer adds any automatic correction on it, but there's a whole other capture device depending on the glass we put in the front of it, as matter of fact. That's part of the charm of this craft. As we glass lovers know in a particular state of living the coolest hobby for geeks where we kill a spare time to share : )) The world of pictures is not only made of business, craft, pros, career and so on ; ) I'd rather have a nice talk with an amateur or cinephile than with an arrogant professional party... Count you all on it (E :-)
