I don’t care that much about ibis since the Fuji lenses have such good OIS, but it’s a shame they still split up the files in 4gb chunks. Especially considering the 400mb/s bitrate. But what a fantastic camera. The output is beautiful.

There’s no information about that anywhere online so unless you’re using one right now you’re just making things up.

Tomorrow the x-t3 is supposed to be announced with 40k60, 10bit internal and ETERNA. If it doesn’t have a crop when shooting 4K it seems to be a much better deal than the new Canon. 1.7x crop ??

Here's the behind the scenes from the music video – I don't think they talk about using it in crop mode. 90 percent of it was however shot with autofocus.

The X-H2 is going to be special for sure

That’s crazy. If the rolling shutter is well controlled and there’s a longer internal record limit than 15 min without overheating this is a very competitively priced video monster.

And oddly enough they still seem much more pleasing than the ones coming off of my a7rIII. Isn’t that something.

The Z6 and the Atomos Ninja V might be the best compact documentary setup in 2018-2019 for quick delivery.

I really hope that Is from the Nikon Z6. Looks pretty special to me, beautiful Nikon colors. And that 1080p is SUPER CLEAN. I’m mostly worried about the rolling shutter by now. It would also be shitty if it doesn’t support exFAT32 and splits the file into 4gb pieces.

This guy shot the whole thing with the Nikon Z7. For those of you who don’t understand German: the talking head parts is shot with the kit zoom at 70mm, autofocus with face detection on, flat profile. Looks promising... great skin tones and the focus doesn’t seem to shift. After 20 minutes of internal 4K recording, the battery was at 90%.

@Django The body is more square shaped, in the spirit of the x-t20, look at the side by sides. And the top dials are thinner, just like the ones on the X-H1. Depending on how long it will let you record 4K without booster grip, how good the continuous autofocus is and how bad the rolling shutter is, it might be a hit. Otherwise DOA. Better to wait for the x-h2, if video is concerned.

This infamous dude at least shot portions of this video with the Z7 and the colors look good. The footage not shot on the Nikon is shot with the a7iii and has the trademarked Sony zombie colors, it becomes very apparent. He also says in the commentaries that the battery life at least seems better than the CIPA rating. Which is a slight relief. https://youtu.be/X2kcBclF40M

Maybe so. If it weren’t for the 15 minute recording limit in 4K (from what ive heard) otherwise it would still be fifteen minutes because of battery life. I hate handgrips and rigging the camera out like some Frankenstein just to take anywhere near the level of usability of a gh5 for example. But we’ll see...

I used to own the d750 and still haven’t found a nicer more organic image than it produced in 1080p. And the motion and colors were lovely. It was just a tad too soft, and the lack of ibis, the 15 minutes internal record limit and the sheer size of it made it too cumbersome and unpractical. The poor battery life of the Z-series and the single card slot are huge drawbacks with regards to usability. But if the image is nice enough I will still be tempted, even though it seems to be an A7rii with Nikon color science.

According to Nikon’s own specs the battery is good for about 10-15 minutes of video. I haven’t found any information with regards to internal codec. Is it 422? What bitrate? At least there’s still the flat picture profile...

If the the GH5S would have had in body image stabilisation it would have been the perfect m4/3 camera with regards to video and I would without hesitation have sold my a7riii for it. The color science and malleability of the files seem truly exceptional. There is just something about the magenta and the greens in the Sony skin tones that even the stellar af or the full frame look can’t compensate for.

@Django My bad, the 4k moiré is in the XH-1, for some unknown reason. But if the rumoured specs of this coming x-t3 are valid and the price is right, I imagine me and a lot of other people are willing to live with the quirks just thanks to the color science in glorious 10 bit.

Hopefully it's possible to record 4k for more than 10 minutes internally without the battery grip and without the camera splitting up the data in 4GB chunks. And hopefully the bad rolling shutter and the moiré in 4k in the x-t2 is fixed. I love Fuji's color science as much as the next guy and I don't think ibis is fundamental, but I seriously hope they manage to get the very basic things right this time.

Looks gorgeous.

I own the a7riii and the GH5 and while the autofocus is superior on the Sony I still think it’s very easy to pull focus manually with the gh5, even without aids such as focus peaking and magnifying. I really don’t know how @jonpais finds he needs an external monitor to manage, especially considering the abysmal resolution on the a7iii viewfinder and screen. Oh, and even with pro color, the colors are much better on the GH5.

@Sage beautiful work! Due to the slight difference in color science, how you think this would work with the GH5s?

Certainly looks promising, super excited to see it. Please notify me when it’s done

Haha, great comparison, both cameras look awful. Thank you. But why do you get all aggro? Weird.

Loved your review Dave! Would be awesome to see the whole documentary about the balloon artist. Is that possible?
