1. I would recommend having the same scale for any criteria. Either 1 to 3 stars, or 1 to 5 stars, or bad/average/good/great so there is consistency. Right now you have 1 scale for AF (Yes/No), 1 scale for menus (bad average good), 1 scale for colour, etc. AF reliable yes/no is pretty vague. Clearly having 4 or 5 scale would be better. 2. I would recommend separate the specs category (Max resolution, bitrate,...) with the "review/appreciation" category, maybe into 2 different paragraphs in your review of the camera. That way we clearly identify facts/specs and your review/appreciation/ 3. I would add other criteria, such as "Body ergonomics" and other specs such as ND filter / sensor (APSC,FF,...) Overall, it's an excellent idea. If you can do that for all the most recent cameras to start a database that would be a great and valuable addition to the website for sure. Drone shots I would bet DJI Phantom or equivalent.

Canon rumors just released a CR2 rumor that Canon EOS R competing A7S line will come this May. Let’s be clear, if Canon releases an EOS R with same video specs as the 1DX (maybe at least 10 bit 4K60, not raw) with IBIS and enabled DPAF, and Sony releases an A7S3 with no better specs, I am selling all my Sony gear and move back to Canon. A few clowns here liked to say I am a Sony fan, I couldn’t care less about Sony or any camera manufacturer. I am buying the gear I need wherever it comes from. If H&M releases the camera I need tomorrow I would buy it. First company to offer 4K60p 10 bit with IBIS and Canon DPAF or Sony-like AF in a small mirrorless body gets my money. If both Sony and Canon do it this year the same, I go to Canon because at same spec level I would rather have better menus/ergo. But it’s hard to believe Canon won’t fuck up again (they did not with the 1DX but only because it’s $6.5K and very big body with easy heat management). Oh and Tamron better releases 17-28 on the Canon bodies, cause who wants to pay 3 times the price for a twice the weight 15-35mm? Not me. Credit card is ready anyway.

If the A7SIV is 4K60p crop only that's a fail. Sony top management said last year "The A7S III will come late because we want to exceed people expectations. People expect 4K60p. 4K60P is easy, we want to exceed that". So either that chart is complete BS, either Sony couldn't possibly achieve 4K60 FF in such a small body with IBIS and that would be very disappointing. They would have no excuse not to put a great 10 bit codec in that case at least.

Hahaha. I must say you are on your way for the top 2020 clueless comment on any internet forum. That guy has a net worth over $US20 million, and multiple properties you and I could only dream of under his name. In fact, that reported net worth is probably much much less than it’s actual. Wake up to the real world buddy. As for Potato Jet absolute BS income video, he his doing like 90% of the YouTubers. We have a French Youtuber, very popular with 7M subscribers. One of his video was how much I make? He basically talked BS during 10min, and the only numbers he gave was « as a Youtuber you never know how your month is gonna be made of, sometimes you can make $5000 a month and sometimes $500 ». Another French Youtuber, with similar sub made a video a few days basically saying I am sorry but you cant fool people like that, that’s the $ you make PER video and just with ads, not counting brand deal. The first guy in question is a YouTube millionaire. I am giving this as an example, but it’s super common for some reason for all influencers to completely under talk, lie on those aspects. My theory is that if you actually talk money and are transparent with the shit loads of money you make, your followers will be a bit disgusted/jealous and less trustful with your ads. As I said, I have first hand info from good friends, while they do not have millions of subs, only 100K+, they already make a good living with just that. There is no debate to have here. Potato thing makes great money with YouTube and good for him. He fools people about it (including his wife fake comments about paying the house) so we can cry for him and be more susceptible to click his affiliate links and stuff, but that’s what they all do. Anyone thinking it’s not the case is unfortunately fooling himself.

People here don’t realize. I have friends with 100K followers on IG getting paid thousands of dollars for a few stories and a post with product placement. Just from IG they can make good living. We are talking 100K/y. It’s just a matter of having the right brand deals often. Youtubers with millions of subs are all multi millionaires. They make good already money with views, but product advertised in the videos are what get the most cash. Casey said himself he once got a $200K deal for one video showing a product, the biggest deal he got, but it shows. As he explains in that poadcast, some companies pay big money to have an Ad on TV that nobody watches and everybody is feeling negative about tv ad. Influencers are trusted by they followers, and they are followers because they share the same day interest. The power of an ad with an influencer that goes to 10M subs is beyond measure so they don’t hesitate to pay dozens/hundreds of thousands. Generally money topic is avoided as a youtuber, but a few of them used that as a point and openly talked about money, with proof including live video of Google Ads account. Pretending to be open and transparent unlike other youtubers, but doing this to get attention of course. Regardless, shit loads of money. If your follower count is in the millions as youtuber and you are not a millionaire, you either completely suck or hit that number five days ago. As for the guy in the OP video clearly he did not reach that level yet, but with 500K subs for sure he can afford those few MacBooks and cameras. Some of the equipment might be given free of charge and with big $ bonus, as an ad. And I didn’t mention affiliate links as well. Those few cameras are peanuts.

IBIS in video is improved over A7III? Did not know that. As for the 1DX, some of the specs are utterly impressive, especially coming from Canon. It really is a great move. However I am far from buying it because it's $6.5K. Although even at $3K I would not buy it because: - 1.5KG, thanks but no thanks - DSLR and its shortcomings especially in videos. Thanks, but no thanks. Are we in 2020? - No IBIS. Well we must be in 2012. - No AF in 4K60P FF. Literally the interesting spec for me is the 4K60p FF 10 bit which is amazing, but I shoot 90% video with AF on, so unfortunately that's a major deal breaker. - Couple of details like fixed screen If they would have released some of those specs (4K60 FF 10 bits, with DPAF) in the EOS-R body, with IBIS, I would be all over it. Now Sony can do it with the A7SIII, releasing what I have asked for years here, a FF 4K60P 10 bit camera with great AF (sorry S1H) and IBIS in a decent form factor. If they don't then f*ck it, I am gonna shoot with iPhones now on :).

That’s why nobody bought the S1 series and they are 50% off.

Wait, the multi year old 1DX II does 4K60p (with small crop) WITH DPAF but the Mark III cannot? Must be either another joke from Canon or a rumor mistake. Regardless, a 1.5kg tank = not interest for me. That’s great to see powerful features like 10 bit, raw, and so on which will push Sony to have at least 10 bit with the A7S III.

The S1R is half the price for a reason: nobody buys that crap.

Thanks guys. Eterna sounds good.

I am gonna use a XT3 for 2 weeks, 100% in 4K60P. What is the best profile for 4K60P on the Fuji: FLOG/HLG/ETERNA? On the A7III I hate the S-Log which is a pain when filming and a pain when grading and gives worst results than using Cine4. I am looking for something decently flat that I can grade quickly to match other cameras, but not a pain to work with like S-log. Thanks

Not bad at all? Phone do 4K60p for years. 2.7K is unacceptable. And no RAW picture. Only JPG. Clearly they do cripple their models like everybody now. Such a let down. Raw and 4K30P and it was an instand buy for me, even for $100 more. And no flat profile. F*** DJI.

Because I use the camera equally for photography, I need maximum possible dynamic range for landscapes as well as low noise for astrophotography. It doesn’t exist in APSC either anyway, XT3 has no IBIS.

The AF. Much better than S1H. A deal breaker for me and for many on the S1H. But the 1DX size is a deal breaker for me (so is the price). So I am still waiting for that FF 4K60 10 bit no crop camera. Last hope in the near term is on Sony A7SIII. Let's see.

First of all Bravo to Canon. Nobody here thought I would ever said that, but that’s because people say you are a fan boy of the competitor brand when you say a camera suck. Canon camera were sucking. This one is a great job. This year Sony sucks in fact. It is still not for me because way too big body, but I am sure it will make lots of people happy. Also it will push others to do something great. Now we have the chance to see 4k60p 10 bits in A7SIII.

It's a piece of crap, just like the A6600. Only good work in APSC video now is from Fuji. Panasonic does a really good work in video on M43 (good on FF but some massive caveats like the AF at that price point are unacceptable) Fuji very good work in APSC. Canon is still a complete joke, Nikon is much better than it used to be but not quite there yet. And Sony is a joke in APSC, let's see with the A7S III if they are king again or if they flop totally. Samsung in the past, Panasonic, and now Fuji show us the technology is here, even for small companies. 4K60p, 10 bit, good bitrates, all of this is easy and possible since months/years. The rest of them is just still in this game of protecting other products.

This is such a disappointment. Sony really fucked up 2019.

Couldn't confirm if that applies only to 4K30 or also 4K60. Also could not find a table that shows all recording options (for example does 4K60p does support Hypersmooth 2.0, Boost, or only Hypersmooth 1.0, etc.) Also LINEAR is available in 4K now, but 30p or 60p? It sucks that they can't give a simple table showing proper specs.

I don’t count on anything . Camera manufacturer teached us over the years to not count on them to deliver.

Lol

I do not care about the name. But there will be an A7S replacement in the coming months. They can call it III IV or XX I do not mind. I just saw that the FX9 basically has an internal SteadXP that gives gimbal like stabilization in post thanks to the Gyros. I waited a long time for camera manufacturers to propose that. It's a billion time better than IS. It looks like the A7S will have the same sensor. Main difference will be ergonomics and possibilities offered by the FX9. If we are lucky they allow 10 bit internal 4K60P and the difference will be no RAW external. But let's see. No ND on the A7S as one more differentiation (and NO 4K120p S35). Or maybe 4K60p will be S35. An A7S III with this sensor/color science + 4K60P FF 10 bit and the new A7RIV AF would kill anything on the market. As the closest competition (Panasonic) crops 4K60p and their AF is a joke.

The footage of the FX9 looks great. Hoping to see the same image in the A7SIII cause this huge body is not for me.

Try walking while taking a video both on the XS (unusable) and on the Pro (great) at 4K60p. The super wide is nice. The battery life super improved. So are small details. But I agree it is nothing crazy. If I did have to pay full price and not 50% like I did, I would have waited for the 2020 one (and I had the X previously not the XS).

I got mine and really happy with the video quality. Especially the stabilization.

It is. And now it records 4K60p with extended HDR on all 4 cameras (including selfie). And the car shot in apple video was shot handheld which is insane. Quite impressive for video this new phone.
