So they make pay 12 000 USD for 1 line of text... What a strange world we live in..

It is only a small iPhone app for the moment... The first one using this tech. Giving good results like this is amazing, it can only be better, and will be better on future versions. That's why I am plaised to imagine a real camera with these stuff and all the new tech that will be inside from then :)

Did you understand it actually shoots realtime video yes ? Ebrahim, I don't know, on my iPhone I don't have artifacts and warp at normal speed. Did you try it with day light ? Works bad in dark condition they say. Well guys, please remember we talk about 720p recorded by an iPhone here... Imagine this system but way more evolved, on a real camera... Also take a look at what Parrot is doing with their new announced drone, 100% stabilised with no gimbal.

Inazuma : I don't know how they do it. But I took many videos and it stabilizes very well. Lazy to transfer footage on my mac and upload it, I am sure u will se thousands of videos online from it in the next days Let me tell you that : I had a EM-1 I have a 5DIII with IS lens I have a Steadicam

Hi, Again innovation are coming in phones, first :/. So Instagram released a new iPhone app, Hyperlapse. It stabilises video using the accelerometer of the iPhone. It works AMAZINGLY well (better than the EM-1 stab !!!) Just tried it myself... Of course the purpose is then to accelerate the video to make it an hyperlapse as demonstrated here: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id740146917 But you can choose 1x speed and it just makes the video 100% stabilized even when running, with no warping effect ! incredible. It takes 1-2 second on the iPhone to "stabilise" a 1min video !! Just imagine a GH4 with an accelerometer inside, and with the hit of a button you get your clip stabilized like this !!! Definitely the future, if camera makers think 2 seconds.... Byebye steadicams, byebye Warp Stabiliser, byebye all the bullshit. Link for the app: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id740146917

Nice test Andrew. Don't forget you compare a 2 years old camera with a new one. Strong rumors say Canon has developed a completely new sensor tech, that will be first seen on 7D2 at photokina, with much improved video features, and then come to the 5D4 in 2015. If they just manage to put their sensor up to date (D800, A7R level in term of DR and so on), with improved video features (A7S like) then I am sold. And imagine it does 4K internally (more space in a DSLR so possible in term of heat..) Just speculating of course. But I don't know, I want to love this A7S and thought it was a god send when it was announced but I am not sold. Still a great camera

Oh wait Andrew, I taught AS7 would be not that good in low light in your "a more realistic impression of A7S low light.." Sounds great, at least in low light. Cool camera, a shame its not 4K internal ...

An yes ... They prove in the video that the base ISO in S-LOG 2 is 3200 ISO minimum. That sucks

FINALLY a long review testing all situations with A7S : And a comparison with F3, F5 , FS700, F55 .. I see no difference. I guess A7S is the 2nd one.

Cool Andrew. Let's see as well the LX8 which has ND filters, 1 inch sensor, 24-90 f2-2.8 zoom and...... 4K !! For the same price

Why is the DR so low ???? :((((( they claimed 15.3.... and now it is less than Nikon d5200 --'

Nice A7S vs A7 at 12800 A7S 4K vs GH4 4K both downscaled to 1080 :

Well, what about the "darkness" movie shoot between 8000 and 40000 ISO ? was super clean. By the way ... first test of the A7S by luminous landscape: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/sony_a7s_first_impressions.shtml "- I have to say that the Sony A7s produces some of the cleanest, most pleasant images I’ve seen this side of a medium format system. – On the basis of these tests I would judge the A7s to have almost a three stop advantage over the A7r between ISO 6,400 (which is as high as I would use on the A7r) and ISO 51,200 where the A7s reaches its useful limit (for my type of shooting)." 3 stops advantage ....... I think you have been too fast and hard about the A7S on this article Andrew ;)

Agree 100%.... Really funny indeed Indeed Mr Andrew, we now have a more realistic impression of the A7S low light performance.... : "High ISO output: What can I say? Dumbfounded. I expected high ISO to be good, just not this good. All the JPEGs you have seen give no real idea how usable the ISO is on this thing! I will let you play with the RAW and JPEGs yourselves to determine what your own 'usable limits' are as everyone is different, but to me ISO 51,200 is about where 6400-12,800 is on my A7." http://***URL removed***/forums/thread/3685321#forum-post-53852362 And as far as video... Why look at jpegs ? We had some real video exemples which all look AMAZING, so whatever the jpg, the video is different ... And sorry but if it looks THAT good on youtube, can only be even better uncompressed..

up :rolleyes:

The 15.3 DR claimed is for RAW stills. I have seen on a blog that the video dynamic range is 12 stops. But with S-curve... Probably a bit more.

Thanks for your comments. Very interesting. It is true that my color correction is not "standard" and not very well done. But it was a first test so I did not spend a lot of time on it. I would really like to get resolve, but I have a macbook pro retina 13" with no discrete GPU and I guess Resolve won't start without a discrete GPU. As I am coming from photoworld, I also like to be able to color grade with lightroom. I hate color grading with Premiere. The only problem is as soon as I have graded with lightroom and then converted the DNGs into .mov I can't grade the raw anymore, and I would prefer to grade after the edit and not before, with only one pic.

Thanks ! "tastefully soft" => lol actually I am not happy about this softness, and I do not know why is it like this ? I did nothing for it. Maybe because of the 48fps 1920x508 stretched to 1920*818 I don't know. Also the Vimeo file look softer than my original one.

Hi, Just made this with 5D III and cheap steadicam. First time I use the 5D, first time raw, first time I use a steadicam ^^. What do you think ? Thanks.

You guy did not understand at all. I 100% agree with Andrew, and this is a disaster. Now let me tell you why : 1 - your exemple and comparison is wrong. Because in one case you use audio format (a music) to use it on a different industry : make a personnal video. So it is not copying the music to do the same music, but something else. SO you can't compare with video saying that it would be the same for exemple to copy my video and using it in another video (because you stay on the same support, same industry : video). 2 - Come on man ? If you think 2 seconds about it : first of all I buy the music that I put in my video so the artist should be happy I bought it, secondly puting it in my video is an advertisement for him (see under videos how many comments what is this song blablabla) so it benefits DOUBLE for the artist. If tomorrow you copy my video and use it as a rush in your video, it doesn't give me money (cause you did not pay my video) and it does not make any add for me because people will think this is 100% your video. The rule should be to pay the track, and give credit to artist in the description, that's all. But when I say pay the track I mean pay the normal one, and not 10 000 USD to have to rights on it. I mean, if you do a commercial and make profit with your video it is normal that you have to pay more, but for creative work, is that not enough to pay the song and credit the artist ? Come on..... The digital world is becoming less and less free, just like the real world. FUCK Vimeo if they do that seriously.

Hi, I am in photo and video since a few years and I had a lot of cameras : fuji XE1, XPRO1, canon 5D2, ... Since a few months I have nothing, and I watch the market which is changing a lot and want to invest in a system for a long time (lenses, accessories, ...) because I am tired to change everything each time. I am gonna give you what I shoot, and then my pros/cons for each and then you can tell me your point of view ? So I shoot 50% stills (Mostly landscapes and portraits). Exemples of shots : http://500px.com/loup_f What I basically need as lense is a or 16-35 (full frame) for landscapes and a 85mm for portrait for exemple. And 50% videos. My videos are only travel videos. When I go somewhere, I shoot and make a video of the trip. For exemple, my last trip in California : As you can see, I do a lot of timelapses (with the same lens as the landscape stills one) and basic shoot of people and streets (for exemple the 16-35 at 35mm would be fine, or with a 50mm). I also do paragliging and sports, so here it's a bit special. I use the gopro but wouldn't mind using the body in the air (lens with IS necessary here). Also, I like to spend time on edit. So I like the RAW possibilites. Now about the cameras: I just purchased a 5D mark III used. I made a good deal (200eur under normal used price) and I have it with the 24-70 that I don't like (not wide enough, not long enough, not fast enough (2.8) so I prefer primes^^). If I invest for the 5DIII I am going to buy : a sturdy carbon tripod, a glidecam, the new 16-35mm f4 IS just released (for landscapes and video), and a cheap 85mm 1.8 for portraits, ND filters, canon flash and so on. So as you see I don't want to buy all of this and then have to sell everything in 6 months because A7S is much better ... My dilema is : Should I keep 5DIII invest in what I said or just use it with the 24-70 2 months and then sell it and go for A7S ? My pros and cons : 5DIII pros: -RAW for video : big pro for me -Cheap lenses used (yes not the new 16-35 which will be 1199 like the sony one) but for exemple 270 for the 85mm. -pro body, resistant, nice to handle -price and value: got it for 1800 used / A7S is gonna be 2500 because no available used. Not a new body so value is going down slowly now. 5DIII cons: Big and heavy for travel No cool slowmotion (FHD 60fps and 120 fps like A7S, I use a lot slowmo) Dynamic range A7S pros: size - wheight : big pro for me slow motion : big pro for me DR for landscapes : way better than 5D here A7S cons: New body so pay full price and value is going down quickly No Raw video Lenses price : they are new only, the 85mm will be like 1500usd ... So a bit shitty. Conclusion For photo they are both fine (slight edge for A7S with DR for landscapes and timelapses) For video 5DIII has raw advantage and A7S has slowmo ( I don't use external 4K) A7S has size advantage and 5DIII has price advantage (due to the fact I got it used, and lens used as well) For future, for the moment I trust more in investing canon system (for exemple when 5D4 is out I get it and keep the rest) as Sony is changing system all the time like crazy. But I might be wrong. Sometimes I tell myself I should just get the sony RX100 III (slow mo, 24-70 5 axis IS, ...) such a convenient camera. But I am affraid it is only a "compromise" and will be frustrated by results (lack of bokeh, dynamic range for timelapses, no ultra wide angle...) So according to my conclusion and use what do you think ? Thanks for reading

Hi Admin, I want to purchase the guide, but I see that your guide is old and now the new ML was realesed in March 2014 for firmware 1.2.3. Apparently the installation is more simple (like just copy past on the card). So is the guide updated or what is your advice ? Thanks

What a shame I wanted to buy it at 1800. Now I don't know what to do anymore

"L'optique est bien entendu stabilisée et profite même au passage d'une amélioration puisque désormais, la stabilisation fonctionne sur 5 axes en photo et en vidéo." http://www.focus-numerique.com/test-1915/compact-sony-rx100-mark-III-presentation-caracteristiques-1.html

AND the stabilization is now 5 AXIS !!!!!!!! even in video !!!! Wow ! we have full readout + xavcs + nd filter + 5axis IBIS with a 24-70 1.8-2.8 lens in such a small body !! The new best camera under 1000usd ?
