You can call the system, ahn...DFD is a good name, I guess. (Distance From Disease)

Bolsonaro (the Brazilian president) is not even connected to a brain.

Well, after the speech that the Brazilian president just gave on national network, Trump looks like a very sane leader in comparison.

Well, it always could be worse. Imagine if your president is suspect to have the virus, was recommended to quarantine, and suddenly steps down the presidential car, go to a crowd without mask or any protection and starts to hug people. Oh, wait, it was what the piece of shit which is the Brazilian president has done yesterday.

Yep, waiting with anxienty for the Corona vaccine by USA. Finally a cure for hangover! https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cornavirus-corona-beer-they-have-nothing-to-do-with-each-other/ "Survey finds 38% of beer-drinking Americans say they won't order a Corona"

Yes, proper manual focus rules, and is much more reliable than AF. No wonders focus pullers are very regarded professionals in movie business. But is not so easy when using a gimbal for action shots, especially if you are a one man operation. In this case, good AF is very desirable. Different situations, different needs.

Lots of people will be infected and cure themselves thinking it is a common flu. Governments are only testing people that came from the areas with most cases, and the people that had contact with them. But probably along the way these people infected people that were just wandering near them, and could be not directly linked to the infected ones. Only when these people escalate the symptoms and needed special care they will be confirmed cases. Most of the infected will never know.

There are a lot of comparisons about Flu and Covid-19; yeah, there are much more deaths in a year coused by the common flu. But remember that common flu have vaccines, it is a well known disease, have easy treatment and, more important, is circulating around for years and most of the people already have antibodies for it. This is the fear with coronavirus: most of the people does not have any antibody to it, nor it have a vaccine, and it have a VERY fast spread rate. And since more countries are starting to have it spread, more likely your country will have it soon or later - and yes, probably every country will get it. Here in Brazil was an good example: when only people coming from China were being monitored for coronavirus, we had no confirmed cases - because our economy sucks and not a lot of business people here are in China trading. But since the Italian outbreak (a country that Brazilian visits a lot, for tourism and family ties), we had 2 confirmed and more then 200 suspicious cases. And it tends to grow - probably there are people with the virus in the 14 days incubation period coming from other countries that the outbreak was not still detected. I think that the real tragedy will be when the virus reachs the African continent. Very little health / sanitary resources there, and with the fast spread rate of the virus, probably will be a REAL epidemic there.

GLS in Brazil is an acronym to "gays, lesbian and sympathizers" movement, it made an interesting topic title.

Looks like the same movie modes (and time limits) of the XT3, with the inclusion of 240fps in full HD, with 3 min time limit.

The problem is not really the Android version, but how much of the Camera 2 API the manufacturer exposes. Just bought a Galaxy S9, and 4k60 is not available because of Samsung's implementation of the API. They found a way to circunvent it in the Exynos versions, but in the Snapdragon ones (like mine) is not possible. Every manufacturer have some kind of issues in its implementation. Better look at the Filmic's Pro blog, and in forums about Filmic Pro to know how it works with each phone. Or, if you live in a country that have return policies, get the phone and try.

The virus will affect all camera companies. Even when produced in Japan, there are parts made in China, which will be in short supply soon (LG cellphone factories here in Brazil were already shutdown due to lack of parts). But this discussion made me curious about a thing: how much DRAM each camera has inside? Ok, the faster one have more due to buffering, but I'm curious about the average quantity.

But at the same time, in the Specs of the page, says: "Movie quality is set to YCbCr 4:2:2 (8 bit), frame rate follows movie setting (24p, 30p and 60p settings are not recommended.), and sound will be recorded." Marketing / specs guys in Olympus are probably drunk or on drugs. No trusty info.

Matiheu probably did not know about the fact. The GetOlympus page confirms that HDMI output is 4:2:2 10-bit. https://www.getolympus.com/us/en/digitalcameras/omd/om-d-e-m1-mark-iii.html

More infos from Fuji Rumors: -No Pixel-shift yet. -USB PD protocol implemented, as it charged very quickly with a PD 30W USB-C charger. Not so fast with a normal QC charger. -IBIS can go up to 6.5 stops with some of the prime lenses. -Priced at 1700 USD. -Multiple Boost modes including normal / economy / boost AF / boost FPS / boost Res etc.

Accodring to Fuji Rumors, the price will be $1700, $200 more than the XT-3.

Wrong. The poor Canon spent all it's budget in the 24p license, no money left to license 30p.

The most troublesome info is the lack of a new "real" Truepic processor. Sure, it is a new one, but from all the info about it, it is just the dual Truepic VIII setup of the E-M1X encapsulated in one chip - probably even with the same transistor size. This explains the lack of real new features - the improved IBIS is a result of the new gyros, and the Starry AF was probably already implemented and was on hold to have something new for the MK III. Looks like the development is halted on Olympus. 😕 Which is very sad - with it amazing IBIS and very good colors, with a good AF and more advanced video modes they could get a good piece of market share. And (as Panasonic) they are hostages of Sony's desire to make a new sensor for MFT.

Still beyond me why Fuji dropped their best LCD hinge implementation - the XT100. That one and the S1R are the best LCD hinges, pleased everyone - flip and flippy at the same time.

Really hope that all the R5 expectations be fulfilled. But it is interesting that all after these years of crippling, everyone is believing in a magic cam from Canon with amazing specs, and even already stating that will sell all their gear to come back to Canon... I think that a more cautious approach would be wise, and hold the excitement until the specs are confirmed.

In good hands, the camera can deliver. Like our @John Brawley . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpD4SFNvWZU&t=0s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzhMs4uXXJM&t=0s

The EM5 MK III is now US$999, a much more reasonable price. Anyone here got one? How is the video AF, on par/below/above the E-M1 MK III? Was suprised that the DPReview said that the AF is noticeably worse than the E-M1 MK II. @DaveAltizer, have you tested it?

Not clear if it will be a full tilt (GH5 like) or a flip/tilt (like the S1H). Hope the S1H design, or at least the XT100 design (and that was the cause that they abandoned it in the XT200). You please still shooters (which prefer tilt only LCDs) and movie shooters.

Maybe for the A7SIII, looking back in the (hot) Sony past.

Remember that Panasonic was stubborn before, saying for years that IBIS was not necessary because OIS stabilization was superior (something that Canon said a lot too). Fuji even said that will never implement IBIS in their cameras. And Sony and Olympus never revamped their menu systems. Don't know much about corporate culture in Japan, but looks like that is a lot of pride involved, some resistance to accept an error... But in the PDAF Panasonic's case, yeah, I think that is some agreement / licensing blocking involved.
