I love you androidlad! I truly hope we won’t have to expect overheating issues.

The guy running Fujirumors has however stated that his sources adamantly denies that the X-H2 has been scrapped. It will be released, according to them. I really don't like the rumor sites but Fujirumors usually gets it quite right.

I wonder what that “optical variable low pass filter” could be on the A7m4

Such a joke that the Parasite wasn’t nominated in this category.

Videographers in the field on assignment pretty much all over the world of course.

Agreed, but where i work (national broadcaster) photographers in the field almost exclusivele use the gh5 and now the s-h1. Apart from codecs and the xlr-adapter you wanna know why @jagnje? IBIS.

If Fujifilm indeed has implemented IBIS in the X-T4 as the rumors suggest, and it doesn't overheat or has terrible rolling shutter, it will be the best fast turnaround documentary camera to date, I believe.

Yo @androidlad what is the third secret camera? Is it the X-H2? https://www.fujirumors.com/fujifilm-x100v-and-fujifilm-x-t4-registered-and-announcements-on-february-4/

Just put the a7iii in full cinema mode and it will look awesome straight out of camera. It’s hidden in the menus.

Are you trolling? Because you are asking for a camera that hardly exists. You want clean ISO at 12800 for stills and video and with great continuous autofocus. The only camera that would suit you is the A9 or A9ii, but then the colors are wonky and you won’t get the picture profiles. The Z6 is great in low light with regards to both video and still (I own one) but it’s far from good enough to continually track focus in low light scenarios with erratic subjects.

@tomastancredi I think you should consider the Canon 90D. It’s really robust, doesn’t overheat (Gordon Laing ran 6 4K clips in a row, three hours, without problems, whereas the M6ii could only manage 40 minutes before shutting down) and lots of cheap lenses are available. The battery life is also really solid. I tried the M6ii and really liked the image out of it, the 4k looks very cinematic and it’s possible to sharpen it nicely, but I didn’t particularly like it from a stills perspective.

I have used the XT3 and the Z6 extensively and even though I ended up selling the former I still miss it for the sheer video quality it puts out. I think it definitely has the Z6 beat in that regard, the image is simply more pleasing, especially in 10bit, and the rolling shutter in 4K is less noticeable than on the Nikon. But then again I kept the Z6, and it’s a much nicer stills camera, better past 3200 iso, feels a lot more robust in the hands, easier to switch between video and stills, has very useable autofocus and a very good IBIS. I’ve kept some Fuji glass though...

I hope I got a bad apple but I think it might be the camera itself. But purely as a small video tool I thought it felt great. Please report back with your thoughts! @Inazuma

I just returned this little camera which I bought to complement my Z6 but I’ve chosen to go for the EM5iii instead. I figured just like @Inazuma that it would make a great neat package with the pancake 22mm, and it sure did. But I couldn’t keep it because of its lacking stills features. The shutter is obnoxiously loud and clunky and there’s an apparent lag when you’ve taken a picture, almost as if the camera need some extra time to write the data to the sd-card even though I used fast uhs-II sandisks. But for video I thought it was really nice, excellent dual pixel af, hadn’t tried it before but I do realize now where the hype comes from, I thought it was much better than both the Sony’s and Fuji’s I’ve used in the past. The ergonomics were excellent as well imho. The digital is was also very effective and the colors, well it’s canon. But an abysmal performance photo wise I must say.

I’m definitely getting the E-M5 iii, looks awesome and I like the smaller size even though the em1 with no doubt has a more comfortable grip. Now if Olympus only would add auto-iso in video mode via firmware it would be the perfect small doc/journalist setup. @DaveAltizer I hope you stresstest this little guy in C4K to see if doesn’t overheat and if the autofocus is up to or with the EM1ii

I wonder if its prone to overheating when shooting 4k seeing that the body is mostly made out of plastic...

Yes the new gnarbox looks awesome. Now I just wish LumaFusion would get it together and implement scopes and the possibility to add another more than one lut.

YUMMY

Haha, this. The S1 and the Nikon Z6 seem to REALLY bother him.

On a different note, what kind of IBIS mode do you guys prefer on the Z6, sports or normal? I haven't noticed a great difference...

Soooo while Panasonic releases their latest beast of a full frame video camera Nikon quietly sneaks out a silent “we fucked you”.... nice.

The camera.

Yeah the system is cumbersome to say the least, but here in Sweden we got the vlog activation code online. I’m selling because it’s simply too big of a camera for what I do.

It sure does. Hands down the best image I've seen out of a mirrorless. But I'm about to sell the camera despite this fact

I don't know, but I have yet to see any moiré or aliasing on my S1, even on difficult fabric and when shooting in 4k 60p. I think that's the reason why most people don't talk about this to be honest, since it's no more prevalent than on my X-T3 or Z6. I am however shooting with a tiffen black pro mist but I doubt that would negate or cover up a severe issue with aforementioned problems.
