Video Hummus

Looking forward to your post about this camera. From the little amount of footage I have seen from it, it looks really good. Its a Leica with some Panasonic technology in it. Leica definitely got the better end of the stick in that partnership. Wish I had the money or knew someone that had one so I could at least play with it! Im sure If the A7SIII comes with 10-bit Slog with 4k60p with AF then it will be the de facto winner. Sony has tremendous momentum in the mirrorless space. Especially amoung influencers and vloggers, which lets be honest, sells cameras for Sony like nothing else. Im sure the 1DX Mk3 will be popular with everybody that has the mk2 and for Canon shooters looking to upgrade. It has all the goodies just in a DSLR body. Will be interesting to see where RED Komodo lands. Mr. McKinnon says he isn’t sponsored by Canon but he sure does get exclusive access and has done a lot of “partnerships” projects with them. Free gear is payment in my book.

This is a solid offering from Canon. I will wait to see what the useable dynamic range is. Really surprised they offered internal RAW with DPAF at 24/30fps. Really the only downside of the RAW is the butt clenching file sizes, over 1Gbps...ouch. That's over 125MB/s. A $450 256GB CFExpress card will get you around 35 minutes of video. I think it might even be higher than 1Gbps.... EDIT: yeah, 5.5K RAW 60fps 2.6Gbps.

Adorama just sent an e-mail out. $6499 in the states. This will be a very popular camera!

This popped up on my feed. Fun to watch and then see the end result in the final movie. Share anymore you find.

DJI is definitely going to release a FPV drone kit this year. Maybe after that we will get sub 249g FPV drones with decent cameras.

The blood comet must pass over the super blood moon before such a thing shall come to pass.

Could it be because the corners of the sensor actually moving more than the center when IBIS is correcting for horizontal panning motion and it’s made worst by the wide angle distortion. But I’m just guessing.

Big note on the insta 360 One-R. It has a 1-inch sensor. So hopefully it’s 360 abilities will be well above their past 360 camera. I like the idea of it being modular. I’m just a bit worried about it’s survivability.

If Olympus released a EM-1 Mark 3 with 10-bit 422 150Mbps longGOP 4K with PDAF and their excellent IBIS they would at least be on people’s radars for video. I’ve always wanted to mash the best from the GH5 and EM1 together into one MFT camera. I don’t even care if it’s called the OM-D EH-5 Mark 1.

1Gbps 4K? No thank you.

I think the only thing that will be disappointing to you with the GH5 is the autofocus. Its useable in certain situations but entirely unreliable. Levi Allen (search him on youtube) shoots many of his vlog stuff (I would recommend watching his Road to Alaska series) with the GH5 using the autofocus. It's good, but if you demand 95% accuracy, it won't give it to you (neither will the EOS R, really.) I would always recommend sticking with whatever you have, because you can make great stuff with it regardless. But as Mercer said above, the G9 is fantastic now with the new firmware and the Vlog-L upgrade. The autofocus is also much improved over the GH5 and the IBIS is absolutely excellent. It's was under 1K on B&H as well for the holiday but now its back to 1,200.

Whatever card he buys the most important rating on it is the "V"(ideo) rating which specifies the minimum sustainable write speed, which as you can imagine, is very important for video. Cards that ha e 95MB/s or even 300MB/s ratings on them with no V30/60/90 rating are advertising the burst write speed. But yes, he should pick up UHS-II V60 cards from a name brand (ProGrade, Sony Tough, Sandisk).

What do you do with your A6500?

I’m also more and more impressed with the S1H. It has the balance between dynamic range, IBIS, internal recording options, and price. It has the tilt and angle screen... It’s clear from the images above, with a nice set of vintage lenses and some shooting skill you can achieve some very nice footage. I will probably end up getting one after my skills catch up with the price tag.

400Mbps is 50MBps so a V60 card should cover it having a minimum write speed of 60MBps. The Sony Tough cards are quality. He also doesn’t have to shoot 400 All-I if it’s just a person talking to the camera unless he just wants performance benefits of editing an ALL-I source.

Teal and orange works well when it’s subtle and more “cream” in the highlights and very subtle cyan in shadows.

Androidlad might have more information. A lot of the M43 sensors from Sony are under the STARVIS brand which is their lowlight surveillance/industrial brand sensors. The sensors than are tweaked for commercial cameras by either Sony or by request from other brands like Panasonic or Olympus.

All of our eyes are collectively bleeding from all this gear. Everybody suggests buying M50 for YouTube...buy a M50. It’s all about Full Frame now, EOS R. With adapter to keep my shutter speed down. Buy it all. oh, shit I need that butter smooth footage that I saw from that one 5 second clip from that travel YouTuber video. Buy a gimbal. A monitor will up my video game by 200%?...but that shit too. Damn, 6K video! ... ”Why I switched to Canon, then Nikon, then too Panasonic and then back to Canon...and why I’m switching now from Canon to Fuji” ... You've become a gear guy. @DaveAltizer this is a wonderful allegory. Keeping this to listen to when I feel the itch to buy the next big thing.

@PannySVHS you shoot footage with your camera??!

DJI. You might have to eating this post if your right anyway because of the world famine and mass migration. Definitely will be VR pr0n and a VR Pr0n film festival called “Pr0n. @Oliver Daniel i think there will be a flash of film again too, Because everything old is new again. There will be nostalgia channels on YouTube Like there are ASMR videos. Oops, did I just give away the best YouTube Channel idea of the next decade?

GH6 is probably more likely to use a consumer camera version of the rumored Sony IMX594CQR. Which is probably a quad Bayer design and offers more video modes.

Exciting if they can pull off clean ISO 25 41MP stills. Looks to be a very photo-centric sensor design and processing. I wonder if this will be the EM1 Mark 3 or a high resolution variant. Will at least quiet the low megapixel complaints of MFT. That leaves lowlight performance.

Ah, ok. I need to take a masterclass on CMOS sensors and Bayer patterns and all that. So those other resolutions are sub sampling and are technically possible but yield undesirable image results. I did not know about the pixel binning in FHD. I’m a bit surprised because oversampling has noise reduction benefits.

So, I can infer the GH5S is capable approaching 14 stops of dynamic range in a FHD 1:1 pixel recording mode? I guess because they chose to oversample in FHD and so are limited to the 12-bit output. Ol, makes sense. Thanks!

Ok, so what does the following actually (hi lighted in red) mean in the spec sheet. Thanks for the help in understanding these tech sheets. What do you look at that specifically on these PDFs to get an idea. With my limited knowledge it appears like it does offer 14-bit output in video modes at useable FPS. Also, for the eagle eyed, I didn’t realize I captured my last minute Christmas purchase from B&H. Lol. Peak design capture clip V3, yay!
