I don't think anyone would dispute that. I can put EF lenses on my Sony A7s. Same thing. Hey I am not knocking Canon, hell I think I just bought a C100. Will know in a few days. My son has a 5D mk III, Canon Rebel. They all get the job done. When I bought my Sony A7 I never owned a Sony lens for it for 2 years. Couldn't afford it. When any new camera comes out with all new lenses it is a ball buster to afford to start from scratch. The Nikon Z6, Z7, this new Panasonic FF, all will be the same. Look at all theses people talking about the XT3, they are going to whipping out some cash too for a new system. Nobody ever said video was cheap. Especially if you want the latest toys. The trouble is with the new toys you don't have any excuse if your footage sucks in this day and age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its true but if you put ef lenses on an a7riii you are really compromising the autofocus and do you want to do that when you are spending 3k on a new camera? Probably not. Even if you do go down that route, which they did in the video, they put the price for an adapter on the canon bringing it up to 2.5k (choosing the more expensive adapter), but fail to mention that you will be paying 400 for the metabones adapter for the sony to get ef lenses to work lol. It is just a dishonest review, but it doesn't matter because at the end of the day like you said people will realise just how expensive it is to change systems and will bulk at the price considering how little difference there really is between cameras. For canon shooters like myself who own ef lenses getting a sony will literally cost me thousands more than the canon. There is just no rational reason for me to make the move at that price when the eos r gives me some great features that the sony cant match and where the sony is ahead it isn't worth thousands of dollars lol. The c100 is a great camera, I miss mine ha ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowbro Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 The autofocus isn't anywhere close to as good as their dslr's, hopefully they sort it out on their next one. Right now, it looks like they lost their AF advantage over Sony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted September 18, 2018 Super Members Share Posted September 18, 2018 The user might have something to do with it as well. And lets not forget the countless bugs that new cameras have had over the years that later gets fixed. This might be one of those things. AF at around 3:30.

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted September 18, 2018 Super Members Share Posted September 18, 2018 But if we compare which camera that has had the most "amazing" thrown around for every little detail even if it was flat out bad we all know which will win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 As expected though, lots of uproar, lots of laughter.... Yet the image speak volumes. Reminds me a bit of the C300 launch V RED Scarlet. PannySVHS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me a bit of the C300 launch V RED Scarlet. I would be more than happy to shoot my next short on one if one was on offer. Image looks great. That being said if I'm laying down my own cash there is just too much on offer else where that is that little bit more tempting. My current thoughts are to get an xt3 along side/instead of my xh1. Or a blackmagic pocket 4k. Or just stick with the xh1 a while and see how it all plays out (new Panasonic, new a7iii etc) I'm in no rush but I do love a new camera ?

PannySVHS Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 FF HD, is it C100/300 quality? Is it 10bit via HDMI for HD as well? CLog works in HD as well? Full HDMI port? If four times yes, this is something interesting for trying out. Waiting for Z6 material and HD quality. Rolling shutter and IBIS might be deciding factor.

Then people actually use it and go "ohh, it seems that millions of dollars spent by engineers actually did produce more than the imagination of forum people.. who knew?". Its like my old favorite, the "crushed blacks" comment on demo footage from any new camera. History repeats itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 TBH, too many fruit shots, but footage looks a lot better than tons of videos shot in 4K that I’ve seen, and Devin isn’t magenta, another plus. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my side I prefer shorter battery life, it allows me to focus on the essential. I prefer the crop, it allows me to easily zoom and I can use my EFS lens when I want to go wide with the super nice 10-18mm. I prefer having Full HD 60p only, easier to edit than 4K60p! And lord knows how I prefer lower DR: it forces you to expose right. Thanks Canon for making my life easier. Thanks for the trip to Hawaii and free cameras too! kye, Robin, jonpais and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted September 18, 2018 Super Members Share Posted September 18, 2018 Are we still ignoring the upsides? I suggest the first person getting one starts a new thread. I'm not preordering but I'm now 100% sure I won't be getting the Z6. It's now between the EOS-R and Panasonic FF if it turns out ok. But.. if the rumor of the new GRiii I won't even care about other brands until spring iamoui 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on now, how can he be saying all of this with a straight face? He said directly before the quote you cherry picked that it was a con that Canon didn't have 4k/60p, hence why he had to shoot at 1080/60p and upscale. There is plenty to bash, no need to make stuff up. iamoui and Snowbro 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
