  1. No, I didn't. But that's title up there to ask it ; ) Nothing against new, on the contrary. I just think lots of posts to understimate the new Sony toy, only because we have lots of thousands invested in old toys. So, the feeling is why not to wait for a7SII? (hey, hey, but I do still photography for large formats and for living!) Next Samsung's? (and so on) That's the whole beef over the argument IMHO. I believe we need to argue objectively instead :-)
  2. Why? IBIS does (not)? I forgot, no cheese on toast... Such a lame! Is the next stabilization gimmick the utmost Holy Grail? *cough cough* C'mon... :-)
  3. Why? Because of rolling shutter in crop mode at a7S levels... OK ;-) And... How would you do if you have large prints to put it out there?! You got it? The point is people think for themselves. People tend to ignore the needs of others. There's also something else: filmmakers are yet like the still photographers some years ago, refusing the media convergence, why? Why to try go figure hybrid concept is a piece of crap instead? Or actually a threat...? To my eyes, RED was not much of a revolution in the end, with or without their contribution to the democratization for (new) industry standards in hands of many; HDSLR -- now FF 4K/8K mirrorless camera à la VistaVision/Medium format, it is. - E.
  4. And along other feature comparisons, in the middle out there in that shootout, you can also find another interesting ISO comparison:
  5. *rolleyes* ...from average a7RII shooter ; )
  6. This information is outdated! Here's the update: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?339161-Newsshooter-Sony-A7RII-overheats-and-shutdown-after-recording-4K-for-a-while/page8&p=1986567078#post1986567078
  7. a7RII all the way, even though, GH4 if your budget is short.
  8. Not perfect, but actually good news here: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?339161-Newsshooter-Sony-A7RII-overheats-and-shutdown-after-recording-4K-for-a-while&p=1986567078&viewfull=1#post1986567078 "Follow up And I apologize if I posted this already I've been very busy. I tested this again multiple times last night but instead of triggering recording on the camera I triggered recording on the shogun. And the result was that I could record continuously until one of the batteries ran out, usually the cameras, sometimes the shoguns. At most I got about an hour and a half with no overhear warnings; when it shut down is because the battery was exhausted ( as per the message on the screen). I did not test on external power. If I triggered the recording in the camera, making sure that internal recording was off, it would overheat in 30 minutes. I don't know what's going on here and have passed my thoughts to Atomos. My theory is that processing is kicking in when you click record even though it's not dumping to the card but if you just let it roll without hitting the record button on the camera you get the output right from the sensor. I tested the same theory with the RX 100 Mark four. I got the same result. That camera records for less than five minutes before overheating if you record it on camera but if you just roll from The HDMI you can get an hour out of it before the battery dies. Again, with no overheating. Weird."
  9. In any case, there is the chance a fresh battery may somehow refresh the temperature of the camera. And let her work. The point is to know if this can bring any damage to the sensor. Worthy to give it a try and test the thing anyway, isn't it? ;-)

  11. Here is a FF sample (I'd dare to say, just kiddin'... you've got a lemon, Andrew!):
  12. Andrew, I will be straight with you: I found your review perhaps passionate, but not exactly honest... I'm sorry. Superficial as well. It seems you have any beef against them. Sorry to be sincere here. I can even be wrong but nah, I don't know... You know I've defended you out there, so I guess my voice can be accepted as unbiased about you :-)
  13. Last but not least, I've never shared the enthusiasm of these forums on that ugly pink mode (I concur Ed, I am sorry guys) from the technology leader of these greedy lovely times we live on, based on new releases each 6 months when there's a new processor or sensor around the corner. Good-old-times were much more calm waters as matter of fact, but they are gone now :-)
  14. Lightweight is a gift indeed... ; ) Horses for courses. Film and digital have no much in common to speak frankly. As far as technology concerns. Other than that, both are able to produce art... : D Age doesn't matter and really, a camera doesn't lose ability because there's a new cousin nearby. But, if the whole world is changing to laptops, there's no much sense to deny we are stubborn enough convincing ourselves that old typewriter of good old days is better to match our actual needs ; )
  15. Davide, grazie :-) If possible to check aliasing/moiré from zero to lowest shapness settings, it would also be rather helpful indeed. Just for the sake trying to understand how avoid the issues when happen even if with little impact on the outcome. E :-)
  16. Ed, and if you'd still shoot with some 5-7 years old camera? Imagine, no GH4, no NX1, no a7S, you see what I mean. So? To each his/her own. Ursa Mini will never reach portability, lowlight performance, hybrid concept and large format prints as same as this new camera. So, why to compare apples to oranges? Probably to your needs. But let's put it simple. Joe doesn't have 4K acquisition yet, you does, let's figure it. So? It is a whole different world between a country boy and a single mother or an american footbal player and who likes soccer instead. You got my point :-)
