Electronic shutter: 60fps raw, 18fps if with C-AF. Mechanical shutter: 15fps in S-AF. 10fps with C-AF. (not sure if these are raw too, but most likely yes) source: http://www.getolympus.com/digitalcameras/omd/e-m1-mark-ii.html?ref=CJ

What limitations do you mean exactly?

Samuel from DVXUser has measured the rolling shutter using the videos i sent him. Higher than I thought. I guess my time with the a6300 made me more tolerant

Price?

When/how did you become a Panasonic ambassador? And can you confirm its internal recording specs?

Not quite right. I didn't use the same shutter speed and aperture values between the cameras because I let the Fuji them decide for itself. It just so happens that the Fuji seemed to expose much more brightly than the Nikon, so I in turn had to use manual exposure values on the Nikon that read +1 2/3 stops on its meter. The 1.43 firmware was an update for the preproduction model and as far I'm aware that firmware is 1.0 in the release model

I spent a lot of time with this camera over the weekend, including shooting one small awards event with it. On Saturday I shot some tests and last night I did a load more in a controlled environment, alongside the Nikon D5500 I've uploaded all the raw videos to YouTube. Enjoy https://www.youtube.com/user/sebcastilho/playlists (Please excuse my voice) I'll be using this channel now to upload more tests I've done with this camera and others I've had in the past.

Have you used the recent Sony's? (a6300, a7s ii, a7r ii). As much as I love to use Panasonics, I find their skintones aggressively processed (causing blotchy skin) - a problem which the a6300 doesn't have. And SLOG2 with the narrower gamut of SGamut3.cine gives extremely nice tonality with noticeably wider DR than Panasonics. Yeh the ergonomics of Sonys are bad but I forgive them for the image they produce. I ended up selling my a6300 because of the soft 1080p and jello 4k. I'd get a a7s ii if it was in my price range and it was a bit smaller physically.

Ah, looking at the picture on my phone it looked like it had been scratched

@Dean how did you scratch off the logo?

I take back what I said in my last post. I just did some side by sides with my Nikon D5500 on the Flat profile (which i've previously described as having as much DR as the C100 II) and the Fuji is actually as good or better. Attaching screencaps. Some extreme dynamic range tests. Here's the D5500 with Flat profile The Fuji at 1080p with ProNeg Standard profile, -2 shadows and highlights, -4 sharpness. +1 stop of exposure compared to the Nikon (because the Nikon is brighter at the same exposure settings) The Fuji at the same exposure settings as the Nikon: Now with contrast at -100 using the Lumetri panel in Premiere Pro: These were all at 1080p. At 4k there is even more headroom and the colours tend to be noticeably nicer.

@lucabutera how are you able to do what Metabones was unable to?? I am not saying you're a liar but could you please upload a phone video or something of the camera itself with your adapter and lens attached and showing it all working?

I just did a series of tests for rolling shutter and noise. Uploading now. Will take a good couple hours. I will say the results look very good IMO. Cinema5d said in their preliminary review that the rolling shutter in 4k looks about average, which I agree with. So probably between 22 and 27ms. In 1080p the rolling shutter is among the best. And the image is very detailed. Not as good as downscaled 4k but still very good. As for the usability of this camera. There are a few problems beyond what I mentioned in my last post. First is that autoexposure is actually dogshit. The exposure changes very slowly and in steps rather than smoothly like Sony's and Nikon's. Second is that the colour profiles like to crush the blacks very quickly, so DR is limited. Although you can bring up shadows very cleanly in post. Third is that you can't change ISO while recording. All these things basically mean that you have to be quite mindful when recording. If your style is run n gun you might have a bit of trouble with this camera but if you can deal with some of the quirks youll have one of the best images in a DSLR form factor for the price and size.

Finally arrived from Park Cameras today after they kept inexplicably delaying its dispatch! I've sold all my other cameras now except the Nikon D5500 so can't do any direct comparisons but the rolling shutter at 4k definitely looks better than it did on the a6300 Some quirks I've found so far: Dynamic Range and Noise Reduction options are locked to defaults in video mode. When in manual focus mode, can autofocus using the AF-L button before recording but not during. Can't set a custom whitebalance in movie mode (as in, the mode where you point the camera at a white/grey object). No bitrate options. All recordings are at 100mbps. That's it for now. Looking forward to doing some shooting with this camera!

I think it's very healthy to always be taking stills. Video can get you bogged down with all the technical aspects whereas the simplicity of stills allows you to focus more on composition, lighting etc.

Sigma, Leica and now Tokina getting into the cine lens game. I didn't know the market for them was so big. I wonder if any of these are enticing to pro DP's who are stuck to their cooke's, Panavisions and Zeiss's

Yes it basically underexposes and overexposes every other frame and then combines them. Pretty clever stuff although means you're limited to 1080p 30fps. Also it sounds like it could lead to some weird movement.

Nah I mean just lock it like you can lock an autoexposure. Some cameras are sometimes able to colorbalance very accurately in AWB mode.

Would also love to auto whitebalance and then be able to lock it in

When using the kit lens (which has OIS) I would sometimes get LOADS of jitter when holding the camera at certain angles whilst IBIS was on. Did anyone else have this problem?

It's not an STM lens but it's still very quiet. Only noticeable in a quiet room. You can feel a slight vibration whenever the focus changes, which I actually found quite reassuring of focus confirmation when I was using it.

I don't know, the Canon 17-55 was the only lens I used on it. I know @Lintelfilm uses the sigma 18-35 and 50-100 tho. Maybe he can tell you.

I used to have that lens with my Nikon dslr. It's quite loud and jittery in autofocus. You should consider the Canon 17-55 f2.8 instead. I used to use it with my c100 ii and it worked great with DPAF even in AF-C.

Interesting. Would you be able to do any direct comparisons of the 80d with another camera at 1080p? Also wasn't the NX1 also known for its superb autofocus?

I stand corrected However, the stabilisation is already very good without turning on e-stabilization. I just didn't consider turning it on because it would potentially degrade image quality or introduce digital stabilisation artefacts.
