So, color science à la Fuji, you say? ;-)

Indeed. Even though, Panasonic has managed all this in a different way.

By Philip Bloom:

True. 4K is a golden standard for motion picture BTW. Big screen for theatrical release included. IMAX aside, perhaps. Actually, there is more beyond sharpness. Mavic outcome is a fine example of that.

Even though, I may follow Andrew on his X-T2 bet, well, some perspective(s) also will ;-) https://***URL removed***/reviews/image-comparison/fullscreen?attr29_0=panasonic_dmcgx85&attr29_1=fujifilm_xt2&normalization=full&widget=105&x=-0.07116278920634347&y=0.7982730037049333 https://***URL removed***/reviews/image-comparison/fullscreen?attr29_0=sony_a6300&attr29_1=fujifilm_xt2&normalization=full&widget=105&x=-0.07116278920634347&y=0.7982730037049333 On the other hand... https://***URL removed***/reviews/image-comparison/fullscreen?attr29_0=sony_a6300&attr29_1=panasonic_dmcgx85&attr72_0=4k&attr72_1=4k&normalization=full&widget=426&x=0.4260463692707934&y=-0.13237727523441808 https://***URL removed***/reviews/image-comparison/fullscreen?attr29_0=sony_a6300&attr29_1=fujifilm_xt2&attr72_0=4k&attr72_1=4k&normalization=full&widget=426&x=0.4260463692707934&y=-0.13237727523441808

Impressive...

Interesting information. My bad, I thought they would be able to record video on SD cards at least (SSD on board on Inspire 2). Therefore, they could be a curious GH5 competitor with 4/3" format, 4K/60p, still a chance for V90 SDXC route (= 720Mbps; ProRes begins at 500Mbps, without mention V60 cards for ProRes LT or 1080HQ at 220Mbps). Pity, that said, they're losing a fine chance to be a competitive camera company.

Funny to say once we're unable to yet order the version 1 now but actually, Mavic Pro 2 will :-)

Phantom 4 Pro is a bomb :-) http://www.dji.com/phantom-4-pro http://store.dji.com/product/phantom-4-pro

Impressive stuff. DJI is earning a special and unique place in the industry. Very disruptive products. Reminds me RED* but at DSLR prices. I am sold. * without mention, there's no RED drone or RED Osmo...

Indeed. Well, it seems 1600 will compete with the GH5... http://store.dji.com/product/zenmuse-x5s-exclude-lens#/?_k=ydfi1i

Still from Bali series... and etc... a low light sample: 2.7K acquisition mixed with iPhone 7 Plus + FilmicPro app coupled to a slider for non-aerial shots: and another shootout:

D-Cinelike @ 800 ISO: another low light sample, but response of same kind... crushed blacks, oh yeah, but virtually noiseless and detail where there's light to expose: more interesting stuff on Mavic potentialities: Not available embedded but it is worthy to watch it on vimeo... take a look:

Well, unless we can call accidental to the tap to focus feature... This feature is unique, not present in any one of the Mavic competitors. Without mention a lens aperture almost one stop faster comparing with the previous offer : ) As written earlier, so far, the jury is still out if it is a QC issue, a design flaw or a feature from its tap to focus design. I'd even dare to bet beyond (and a way more) than faulty units... The tap to focus design + a shitty codec for half-focused areas when the settings on sharpness are dialed down. :-)

Really? I wouldn't be so sure of that... : P Even though the QC explanation route or because there's also a chance for a lens design flaw as much as reported with the Lumia 1020 model; as already written earlier in a previous post of mine along this thread BTW : ) I bet it's much related to the focus system present on Mavic; it's all about tap to focus design, I believe. Remember it's the first time you have it present alongside a drone. I believe that's why you're able to get it 'sharp edge to edge' throughout some other footage samples, as well. But, as you wish, that said, I don't see a single reason why people are used to praise any-lovely-distortion when we simply mention the magic words 'anamorphic glass', despite to easily irritate themselves when a similar feature pops up in a Chinese piece of nouvelle technology designed and made somewhere in the other side of Pacific ; ) Shouldn't it be called cinematic in the same way? ;-)

Link fixed now: Another one:

Indeed. And this is one of the reasons why I like this device. No oversharpened edges. Makes it much more cinematic to my eyes, than the usual stuff I've usually seen from the other toys. As matter of fact, this is the first bird of this category to catch my attention.
