The Air probably will throttle a lot more because of cooling. In fact, cooling are a problem for a lot of Mac laptops lately... Promising news, but I really would wait for some REAL world tests - as in cameras, first will be the paid reviews...

Never take him a lot seriously, but sometimes he gets one good point or other. Have you ever used the 16-80?

User manual available: http://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-s10/x-s10_omw_en_s_f.pdf Take a fast reading through it, comparing it to the two little m43 cameras that I have now (E-M10 MK III and GX9). Looks like have none of the small problems that I have with each one, and a lot of unexpected things that I thought that would not go to a lesser model on the line, like linear focusing option and configurable front / back tally lights. Only weaknesses that I saw so far (again, for a amateur like me) is the so-so Ibis and that the front dial could be clickable (it is fixed). Regarding to lens, I was kind of surprised when the Camera Conspiracies guy called the 16-80 F4 a completed bullshit lens for video. Anyone here used it?

Fuji's DR modes, even for stills, are probably the most confused / undocumented feature of their cameras. Never read a really good explanation on how it really works and the best methods to use it.

I'm using the Galaxy S one or two generations behind the latest model (S9, currently). Good (very good sometimes) for mundane photos, good performance for other uses, often cheaper and MUCH better than the latest Galaxy A or simpler models.

Screen type - never undestood why Fuji made the (almost) best solution for the LCD hinge in the XT-100 and never used it again. I prefer tilt screens too, but undestand the use cases for a flip screen, and the XT-100 have a hinge that pleased both camps. But if I got a Fuji and liked it, for sure will have a second body - always like to have a backup, or have one set for stills and another for video, when possible / convenient. Probably will get both, but for a hybrid start still think that the X-S10 will be better, because of easier switching between stills and video on the fly. And for sure in the future I will talk to you to get some hints, since you had a lot of experience in the Fuji world. 😉

Never used FCP (Windows user here), and when I've tried Warp Stabilizer in Premiere never got decent results. I will switch to Resolve and will try its stabilizer.

Yeah, this one with the 18-55 or the 16-80 probably will be my start (always liked the 18-55 but I've got use to the 24mm eq. in my trips. XT-3: yeah, could be another option. But it have two usability-ish issues: no IBIS (I know that the 18-55 OIS is very good, but IBIS stills works better in video) and go back and forth between stills and video (I remember that it was one of your complaints about it). And for hybrid use, PASM dials are better than the usual Fujifilm dials (terrific for stills, not so much for video). The XS-10 even have separated meus for still and video. Grip: yeah, I'm used with external grips (always attached in my E-M10 and GX9), but a grip with a shutter button usually works better than a external grip with the shutter in the original position. Liked the S5 a lot, but FF is a distant options especially now (live in a country that, with all the taxes, photographic material have a 100% increase over US prices, with average income about 50% of US...is like cameras as 4x more expensive here). And I like to shoot a lot in concerts (er, before the pandemic and a small daughter 🙂 ), and crop factors are beneficial in this scenario. Got some amazing shots from far with m43 cameras with the amazing 135mm f/2.8 Contax Zeiss.

I think this one is not intended to be a professional camera, as the XT-30. Of course it could give you professional results, but is not the target group. Their target is me, I guess - amateur / enthusiasts. My current cameras are a Panasonic GX9 and a Olympus E-M10 MK III. Thinking about leaving it because allt he signings that the m43 ship is sinking - or, at least, became a niche. Also, use my cameras both for movies and stills. Have zero interest in full frame ones, because I like to travel light, and (with few exceptions, as the Sigma 45mm 2.8 L-mount and the Rokinon primes for Sony), the lenses are huge. Ok, I could play the equivalency game comparing to m43 (2 stops for DOF, climb two stops in ISO for exposure), but even then you could not bypass optics physics. Hence, the logical step (for me) is going APS-C. Canon M-mount is even more dead tham m43 - the "new" M50 just proved that. Nikon Z APS-C? Looks like that will not have too much options of lens in APS-C native (as in the SLR days - and probably 3rd parties will not put much effort to it). Sony? Best AF in class, but the A6xxx ergo are atrocious, their IBIS is a POS, and the rolling shutter is terrible. Very few APS-C lenses, and looks like that they stopped the development for APS-C. My only path could be Fuji. And compared to my current setups (or even my preferred choice now in the m43 world, which would be the E-M5 MK III), the XS-10 looks better in almost every regard (except, maybe, IBIS in movies - let's see how it would perform): - For stills - a bit more resolution (26 vs 20 mp - albeit even 16mp was ok for me), 1 stop better for low light (VERY important for me), better C-AF (albeit I almost always use S-AF, and in this case the differences are minimal); - For video - better specs all across the board (compared to my cameras / the E-M5 MK III - the GH5 and G9 have better specs, but are large for my needs), video AF functional (not perfect), ok EVF (looks very similar to the E-M10 MK III, which is ok for me),. And looks like they solved all the the problems that I saw in the XT-30 - 30 min limit in 4k vs 10 min (is enough for me - 10 min was a deal breaker), IBIS, decent grip, easy switching between video / stills modes, Ergos looks ok. Probably this will be the on that will make me switch systems - albeit the rumors says that a X-E4 is in the pipeline... Most of the people here are not the target audience for this camera. I am.

About size, Fujirumors already posted a "size preview" of the camera, made by one of its sources: Smaller than Xt-4, bigger than the XT30. Also the controls are different from usual Fuji, with a PASM dial. "Top Plate According to our sources, the Fujifilm X-S10 top plate will have 3 dials, of which 2 will be unmarked and one will be a PSAM dial (more or less like they are on the super-discounted Fujifilm X-T200). So, there won’t be any top LCD, like there is on the Fujifilm X-H1. This might explain also why Fujifilm decided to call it X-S10 and not X-H10 (or “mini X-H1“), as the top LCD is one of the unique standout features of the X-H line compared to all other Fujifilm X series cameras. Other than that, right on the top plate there will be also a Q button, an ISO button and a dedicated video button. And yes, of course there is a shutter button 😉 Backside There will be the usual MENU, AF-ON, AEL, DISP/BACK, DRIVE, PLAYBACK button. There is no D-Pad, but there is a Joystick. Front There is a front command dial. There is no focus mode selector (the M-C-S switch)"

For me (personal use only), is almost the camera that I'm waiting for ages to Fuji doing - just preferred a rangefinder body. 4k60 would be good, but (for me) is not a deal breaker. Time limit, yes - 10 min is ok most of the time, but when shooting concerts I need a little more time for some songs (already had troubles with the LX100 with 10 min). 30 min would be awesome, 20 min would be enough, 15 min still kind of a stretch.

Did not see anythong different in AF. "Dedicated lens control" probably is because is supports a LANC control, and "Deep Learning" is a fancy name for subject recognition. Bet it is still DFD.

Maybe not, considering that Z-Cam could be forced to stop their production very soon because it uses HiSilicon chips.

Oh, boy, Curitiba post center is slow as hell to release goods... (I lived there - in Curitiba, not in the post office - for 20 years)

B&H C70 page is up - 5499 body only. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1595392-REG/canon_eos_c70_cinema_camera.html

Remember that the Panasonic's DFD only works with Panasonic lenses. With Olympus lenses, it falls back to usual contrast detection. (It is the kind of thing that undermined the m43 system "alliance", and I suspect that they will do the sma with L-mount...)

It would be great. But probably will be flooded by lawsuits from the reviewers cited (with eventual financial backing from the companies).

Could be, but it is in line with all the last Panasonic "signs": - When asked about GH6 and MFT, they said "are studying how to make best of format", "evaluating possibilities", and talk about high frame rate and telephoto. Always vague information; - In another interview, they said that "have the intention in transforming the L-mount in a video standard"; - Then Nikkei published a rumor that Panasonic is planning a "structural reform" on the Lumix business; - Then Panasonic releases the S5, which looks like a GH5, much more than the rest of the line. Since everybody looks like that could not do a single shot without a full frame camera that have 3 milimeters of DOF and clean output as ISO 102800, it is kind of a logical path to Panasonic. Since now GH5 "became" a camera with "shitty" image, and probably Sony will not develop a newer sensor, "pros" will not buy a GH6 with the now needed higher price (to cover the development costs of features to make them "competitive" with the FF ones, plus much less units sold). Vloggers make sense as a market target for m43: they prefer simpler cameras, portability, IBIS, not much time in grading, and lower costs. Make them with reliable AF, and they could have a winner (Olympus even more indeed - probably the E-M1 MK II and the E-M5 MK II are already the best budget vlogging cameras). Make one more generation of m43 cameras, sell to vloggers, and after the technology moves ahead, phase out the mount. Since Olympus will target "higher end" and probably fail (after all, no 3mm DOF or ISO 102800, hence is "unusable"), unfortunately (since I have only m43 gear) each day I see more that the days of m43 are numbered, except as a very niche cameras.

Whether this info is real or not, depends on how much you trust the site, but this is very bad news (and kind of confirms what I was feeling): https://www.43rumors.com/will-panasonic-transform-their-mft-product-line-to-focus-on-vloggers/ "I got this from a very reliable source: They will change strategy here. MFT will focus on the V-Logging segment. They don’t see a huge market for a GH6 anymore as most people are moving to Full Frame. So the upcoming GH6 may be more a “Pro Grade” G100. It’s more of an upgraded GH5 in a new body with enhanced mobile integration. Or to make it short – a GH6 may not come with the desired specs and the story of the Pro Video MFT will end with the GH5. G9 is now selling well in India. There are discussions about a Mark II which then also the successor of the GH5 with an additional Video Package to buy (similar of what Nikon is doing). But do not expect a “Big Bang” here. The future of MFT is not yet decided – they are very careful because of the Olympus Imaging Carve out happening soon. And again to mention – Sigma wants them to focus on L-Mount"

They have some history of being stubborn / being "proud"; for years, Olympus had their IBIS, with Panasonic customers claiming an IBIS too, and the Panasonic response was always "we don't need IBIS, OIS is a superior estabilization method, optimized for each lens, yada yada yada...". They were not alone saying that - Canon always made the same remarks on the past, Fuji even said on the record that "the X-mount could not support IBIS"...until it became a very high desirable item by popular claim. Then Panasonic started using it with the GX7 (only for stills); and right after they probably figured out that they could sell MORE Panasonic lenses with OIS coupling together the IBIS and OIS (the Dual IS system), and they gone all-in in IBIS. I hope that PDAF could be the same story - in fact, DFD is kind of the same, since it only works in Panasonic lenses in MFT...

Problem is that the "H" in "GH" is from "Hybrid", AFAIK. Albeit focused in video, the tradition it is that it would be a good stills camera too. That's why they derived it with the S. Maybe they keep the tradition and make the GH6 with the 41mp sensor with 8k30 or 8k60, and your GH5s above to clash with the A7SIII. It would be a good solution - the question is if Panasonic really wants to invest to develop two models.

This is what I call "timing": Sony just announcend that is closing their Brazilian factory, laying off all the employees and will cease to sell consumer products (TVs, audio and cameras) in 2021 here. Only will keep the Games, Professional Solutions Now in Brazil only Canon and Fuji have official sales and support. Probably not for so long.

But the E-M10III just have UHD 4k, not DCI 4K.

But do not expect much more than that. Looks like Panasonic will transform m43 in a niche segment.

Probably sending a 10-bit raw signal through HDMI is less processor intensive that recording 10-bit internal - codecs are not the Olympus strenghts. And since Atomos is doing that with a lot of cameras, the process probably is kind of simple to implement - hence Olympus don't have to spend much to implement, or no spending at all; it is Atomos's interest to implement and sell more monitors.
