you started a topic before trying to say that I am this Egypt scammer Ebrahim Saadawi. when you say more you are accumulating more evidences against you in the future. you dumb ass.

do you know that I can initiate a libel law suit against you? you stupid fool. lol.

sensor technology is actually very difficult to improve. most camera companies are doing quick fixes. if customers like fast readout, longer battery life, less heat, then go from ccd to cmos, but then the color and global shutter are lost. if customers like low light, then make thin color array layer, then color is even worse. if customers want high resolution, then give them high res, but the pixel size is so small, a lot of issues occur. if customers want high dr, no problem, but you have to sacrifice mid tones, etc. finally, you realize that it is not an improvement, it is a look, with pros and cons associated with it.

if it is a sunny day and you shoot at the noon, you can put up a canopy on top of those two beauties. Or drag those two ladies to some shade. There are ways to handle high dr.

This was shot on the first generation of red one sensor. It has very narrow dr according to the current standard. The sensor is tuned for skin tones. Can latest sensors do similar skin tones too?

why do you want to put on a lens adapter to make a lens softer on a very sharp camera? instead, you can put a sharp lens on a high quality 1080p cinema camera?

fantastic results, actually. you convinced me to buy the om-1. I will look for some deals during the Christmas season. thanks a lot for the help. you work on the train is also interesting.

by my experience, high dr is needed for situations like half shading and half sunlit face. for many common situations, 11-stop dr is good enough. for extreme cases, lighting can help to reduce dr, or moving the subjects to another venue. dr is important, but not that much weight like current thinking.

no. c100 mk ii dr is not as good as latest mirrorless.

most high end cameras with integrated battery grip have higher internal voltage than cameras with no battery grip, so faster af and some other features due to the higher internal voltage. add-on battery grip is better than no but not as good as integrated battery grip.

generally speaking, I think om1 video image quality is good enough for general usage. if carefully executed in acquisition and in post processing, the footage can be put on a theatre screen without much concern. as by my experience, a laptop screen with a viewing distance of 1 foot or a desktop 4k screen with a viewing distance of 2 feet, is more demanding than sitting in the middle of a commercial theatre watching the large screen.

uhd 50p 10 bit and fhd 50p 10 bit are the same to my eyes. no significant difference. if these are handheld shots, they are excellent. nobody will doubt that these shots are on tripod. uhd 25p 10 bit is almost the same as uhd 50p and fhd 50p, except that when cars move into the scene from the right to the center, when the cars enter, I can see minor jumpy feelings sometimes. the 50p modes have smooth car movements. om1 dr seems good. the sky and the clouds seem nice. thanks a lot for the testing footage. regards,

this is why I like to use c100 mk ii. I use it without the top handle xlr module at all. it has nd, good grip, angled evf, lcd, double recording. with some tuning, it can be sharp enough even by today's standard, as it is a 4k sensor. not much larger than a modern mirrorless if you put addons to it.

please delete this topic. it confuses readers. thanks.

sorry, you are right. I thought it was 1000 conversion. thanks for the correction.

the footage looks great even without any grading.

by my eyes, em5 720p 30p m-jpeg footage is not outstanding in details. maybe it is pixel binning or line skipping instead of oversampling like gh2.

they are 43 lenses, an adapter is needed.

Olympus should market this as one of the biggest features of em5, aside of ibis, yet it was buried for so long time, I just found it out.

I am trying to understand why motion jpeg codec is good on some old cameras. https://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/omd-em5/omd-em5VIDEO.HTM according to this article, em-5 720p 30p motion jpeg codec is 1/12 compression, 640x360 is 1/8 compression. for 720p 30p, uncompressed is 1280x720x30 about 30 MB/s, 1/12 compression is about 2.5 MB/s, about 2000 Mbps! for sd 30p, uncompressed is 640x360x30 about 10 MB/s, 1/8 compression is about 1.25 MB/s, about 1000 Mbps!

totally agree, it will balance my shg 35-100 f2, 14-35 f2, 7-14 f4 well.

personally, I think om1 probably is the Best Buy now, as om1 mk ii does not improve much, except that 200 frames buffer depth. I probably will couple om1 with my many mf lenses, in 1080p 10-bit all-i 60p 160 mbps mode. video quality seems fine to my eyes.

true. I am aiming em-1x once it reaches to around $500. maybe another 2 years. I have a set of shg and hg lenses. so I have to use em1 or om1 series for these 43 lenses, af, balancing.

good to know em-10 iii is better for video. can you explain more? if om 10 has an ibis of 6.5 stops, probably I will go for it, as it is much cheaper than om 1.
