Ursa mini 12k s16 mode may have >6k resolution. good to know. is ursa 12k lens mount flange distance shorter than c mount?

the rolling shutter seems fine in 4:3 open gate. dr seems good.

if you use c4k raw mode on gh7, coupling with a Zeiss s16 pl 10-100mm, it is about 28-280mm ff. there should be no vignette on the tele side. on the wide side, very possibly there is no vignette neither.

if you shoot 5.8k raw, there is no extra crop, 8 mm is 16mm ff.

news and events can be at this level. you still can break the bank account too. lol

have you tested em1 series and gh6 and g 9 2 in terms of ibis at focal length greater than 100mm, at least greater than 50 mm? I guess Olympus ibis still beats penny by a mile at long focal length, which is critical for manual focus lenses adapted to m43 bodies.

news and events. I shoot for my YouTube channel. I waste too much. I think go pro 12 is enough for my needs. but I always say to me that if I have of a hobby of collecting luxury cars or sailing boats, I will be totally broke. then I am happy. lol.

out of major companies, only z mount has a shorter flange distance than c mount. unfortunately, Nikon is not taking advantage of this.

I have been watching a 80 gb blade runner 2049 rendition. very very beautiful. sharp enough. it was shot on Alexa mini, xt, studio. the highest resolution is 3.4k for these cams. of course, the master primes are sharp. I put a cp2 50mm f2 on a f3. the final footage looks sharp enough. I guess for normal scenarios, 4k is enough. for aerial, wildlife, space, yeh, more resolution makes sense. yeh, dr helps in uncontrolled situations.

hahaha. you have the humor.

he did not test om1 mk ii vs gh 7. for others, gh 7 seems the best.

any z mount cams have a s16 crop mode? especially aps-c z mount cams?

canon cinema line is designed for handheld shooting. I tried many different configurations. once you mount a big zoom lense, and a zacuto top handle and a zacuto base plate, the rig is too heavy to hand hold. it is only for tripod. in that case, other cameras are better, like f3. now I set one of my c300 ogs with an efs 10-18 stm is, I don't use the top handle and the xlr lcd unit at all. I put on a small battery based mike with 3.5 mm plug in. I put on a rail based v mount mini battery to power the nano flash. I use the evf as one contacting point, the v mount battery against my chest as another contact point. my left hand hold the buttom of the c300 og, use the left thumb to touch the hard buttons at the left side, and use the right hand to hold the grip, the right index finger to touch the start button, and the right thumb to touch the nipple and the button 7 which I set as the af lock. I use continuous af as this c300 og unit has the dpaf upgrade. the footage looks very stable.

does z6 iii have s16 mode? z mount is shorter than c mount.

I hope that next year Panasonic releases a $2000 s5 3, full frame 8k sensor, 60 fps electronic shutter, 200 raw buffer depth. I will pull the trigger on this one.

this makes sense. $500 for a new gh6 is a different story from a gh6 at $2000, even the af is bad, dr booster is not stable.

one of the best camera introduction videos. fuji should hire him to promote the cameras. I feel that the still photos in the video are much more eye catching than the video clips.

where can you find gh6 at $600? I cannot find any?

actually on Vimeo I watched a thorough test comparing c200 and c100 mk2. they have the same image quality. c200's major strength is 4k raw. it took me some time to tune the c100 mk2. once optimized, it is as sharp as GoPro 12's 5k, or r1mx, epic-x, etc. I cannot tell difference from a 4k monitor at less than one meter of viewing distance. this is more demanding than in a commercial theatre.

c100 mk ii is very good in terms of ergonomics. probably the best for hand held shooting. it is a 4k sensor so its resolution is ok even by today's standard. it is 60p 28 mbps so if doing 60p, quick actions are fine. the files are tiny, good for my hard drives. it has in built nd, and back up sd recording, and xlr top handle if needed. dpaf is fine for stm is lenses for basic modes. I like it very much.

wow. c400 is full frame? this is great. $8000 is ok. who will buy a c300 mk3 then?

yeh. if your starting point is 135 full frame which has an area of 862 mm2, m43 is 25% of a full frame, at 224 mm2, now in gh7's 4k raw mode, the sensor is another 1.4 crop, 50% of the m43, so the final area in this mode is about 110 mm2, which is almost a s16 sensor, almost exactly an 1-inch sensor.
