I think it only records fine because the camera has a large buffer (for 30fps stills shooting). Noticed a strange phenomenon today, when using the touchscreen to pull focus in video during recording, in AF-S mode, a touch would only half focus on the subject (focusing starts slowly and stops midway). In AF-C mode it works wonderfully though, locks dead on almost every time. But AF-C focuses everywhere the focus box goes and does not offer much control vs. AF-S. Anyone experiencing the same? @Cameramoto @Attila Bakos

Of all the X-T3s sold so far this is the first failure report I've heard of, definitely rare and isolated incident. iPhones have exploded in the past, I must say they are not safe to use.

Breathtaking shots! What's the DR setting? Have you touched the shadow/highlight tone, sharpness and NR setting?

Would be cool if there could be a "Speedbooster Zoom" that's variable between 0.58x to 0.71x

Sandisk Extreme Pro 100MB/s V30

Surprisingly V30 is enough for 400Mbps on X-T3.

All around zoom: 18-55: stablised, good IQ for the price, small and light. 16-55: ultimate IQ, lightning fast and accurate AF 56 f/1.2: go-to porait lens, slower AF Sigma 18-35 can be adapted, but AF is unreliable. Good for video shooting/manual focusing.

A6500 is 39ms in all 4K modes, X-T3 is 20ms in 4K up to 30p, 16ms in 4K 60p.

Tilta's modular system looks perfect: https://www.newsshooter.com/2018/10/31/first-look-at-tiltas-modular-cage-solution-for-the-bmpcc-4k/

They didn't mention that the sensor has extremely low yield and it's only made to order, with 6-months lead time...

It's a shame they haven't addressed the HDMI signal level issue causing clipped highlights and crushed shadows.

Here's the full datasheet of the IMX294 sensor if anyone's interested, it extremely technical and details (almost) every operational mode (Quad Bayer HDR mode in a separate datasheet) It's the sensor used in BMPC 4K, Z CAM E2 and GH5S (customised a bit and called IMX299) https://www.sony-semicon.co.jp/products_en/new_pro/may_2017/imx294cjk_e.html IMX294.zip

Sharpness ≠ detail edge enhancement increases apparent sharpness, but does not help with the amount of resolved detail. DPReview's comparison tool can clearly demonstrate that: It doesn't have EOS R yet, but 5D Mark IV is the closest we can get.

Was in-camera noise reduction turned down completely for the test? For example, X-T3 has NR default at 0, but it can be set to -4.

As far as I know, on Nikon cameras "clarity" only affects JPEG stills, it has no effect on video.

Did you turn off Pre Roll? It must be off for the LUTs to load.

More details regarding the sensor code leak yesterday: IMX235AQR is the sensor used by A7S and A7S II, the newly released IMX435AQJ matches the nomenclature. Also it being a Exmor RS Dual Aspect sensor, it seems to be a perfect balance between speed, quality and sensitivity.

X-T3 sensor SKU NDA lift: (Note that Fujifilm custom designed X-Trans CFA on top of the sensor substrate, the sensor/photosite architecture remain unchanged) https://www.framos.com/us/imx571bqr-c-22199 Interesting that Fuji did not (or not yet enabled) the 16bit/6.84fps readout mode for lower noise floor. Newer generation sensors from Sony Semicon are all capable of 16bit ADC. According to the confidential datasheet, 14bit readout mode has 11.6dB higher noise floor than 16bit HQ mode, penalty being more than half the readout speed.

I've answered that many times before, is the search function buried deep in your arse?

Sensor code: IMX435AQJ ?

The absolute final deadline for removal of this limit is 1 July 2019. https://www.wto.org/english/news_e/news16_e/ita_20apr16_e.htm

Update from Atomos CEO Jeremy Young:

I hope it can be fixed man, there are also issues with X-T2/X-T3 including the signal level issue that affects most cameras. Atomos support hasn't been very responsive at all.
