Administrators Andrew Reid Posted January 5, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 5, 2016 No mention of any added video assists or features really, in the current info.It's as if they don't really care!But they do!But they don't show it!Oh... I have no idea what they are thinking to be honest!They really need to dump their entire feedback chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tugela Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Look at the red cropped area maaaan its super cropped, look at the image not the table.I don't think the D5 is cropped, but I don't have the pdf for that.The crop refers specifically to HD though. Note that the 4K image is not cropped.My reading of the image is that the HD is essentially a portion of the 4K image and not a downsized image from the full sensor. Hence the crop.I would guess that the added overhead of downsizing is too much for the processor to handle.With that sort of limitation it implies that the image is not going to be competitive with cameras such as the NX1, GH4 and a7R/S mark IIs.

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted January 5, 2016 Super Members Share Posted January 5, 2016 The image and DR out of the D750 is so nice imo that even if cropped, its more interesting than most of the competition.But if its just an nx500 in a Nikon body... No thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks.It isn't an NX500. There is pretty clearly no Samsung DNA in this camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tusoli5 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Damn H. 264... I am soooo waiting for a good H. 265 codec use on a dslr... H. 264 has soooooo many flaws by itself that it crushes the quality use of any dslr processors... This cameea being able to shoot stills at 10f/s should have enough buffer for H. 265... Really am fed up with H.264. Don't see the point to spend anymore 2 to 3k€ for a H. 264 body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks.If you like the d750 image, the d500 will be a lot better, but only in 1080p. You can use active dlighting in videomode now, this boosts DR in a crazy way. Try it out on jpgs with your d750. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promit Roy Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 So a 1:1 center crop of the D500's 20.9 MP image to get a UHD frame results in a total crop factor of how much? My back of the envelope says 2.2 ish? MattH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagnje Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 well if the 1080p get very good I`m happy. I just wish they would go 2.5k instead of cropped 4k...or any 4k for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 What's the crop of DX? Because HD seems to be 1.3x and the UHD isn't that much smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 What's the crop of DX? Because HD seems to be 1.3x and the UHD isn't that much smaller. The crop from DX is 1.45x total crop factor 2.175x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercer Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The crop from DX is 1.45x total crop factor 2.175xThen how is the HD crop 1.3x? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Then how is the HD crop 1.3x? 1.3 x 1.5 = 1.95Whenever I try to stream a 4K video I end up asking myself whats the point about 4K anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ND64 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 It's easy to blame them, and I do, but Nikon is not sensor maker. I think nobody had the DX sensor they wanted (20mp, low noise, fast read out), or didn't sell to them. What they could do? Make their already tired of waiting for pro DX customers, wait another year? That would be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chris Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The d750's LCD is horseshit - especially when you magnify to focus, glad to see they've upgraded to more pixels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 1.3 x 1.5 = 1.95Whenever I try to stream a 4K video I end up asking myself whats the point about 4K anyway So the FHD crop is 1.3x the aps-c crop? What? That sounds oddball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted January 5, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 5, 2016 Is the poster frame supposed to highlight the poor dynamic range and blown highlights of the D5's 4K video or something?And why can't they get someone good to shoot for them?They're Nikon after all.They must have a good range of talents to call on surely?

Danyyyel Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 When I watched at the video it made me think that the reason they chose the crop mode without down-scaling, which one step less in processing (heat) and less silicon active, again heat is because of to whom those camera and the D5 in particular is intended. The D5 and to a lesser extent the D500 are meant to be bullet proof still camera that will be used and abused in very hard and hostile environments, sport, nature, news and war zone. The D5 is the flagship nikon camera and it would be catastrophic for them to experience problems or even failures like the latest Sony's in the field.
