Julian Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 The RXs have 960fps at 1080p!Will be interesting to see how sharp that isA lot of sample video's here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL06nPE7_lzMwCmNsXjTJ3T6y8Vh-AmNCIt definitely is not 1080p at those speeds. Maybe it's saved as 1080p but looks upscaled. Still, looks better than Nikon 1 at those crazy speeds. Liam and arellaTV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynDan Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Wow. Canon is getting bodyslammed from all directions. Once Nikon puts 4K into its cameras, it's over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ebrahim Saadawi Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 A7r mk II 4K in FF will probably have lots of moire issues (as per the press release), so they went in a customer-listening way and included a s35 mode, they searched for the lowest amount of pixels that can be mathematically ideal to be scaled down to 3840x2160, and that was a window of around 6K giving an approx 1.6x crop, close enough to s35 cinema standard. Pretty smart and customer-friendly decision, Canon and Nikon are really taking a harmful press hit tonight, really, really harmful. I mean this is an appeal for both hardcore photographers and hardcore videographers, it lacks nothing at least on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff CB Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 All Sony needs now is a better lens lineup, improved battery life, and a good flash system and they'll decimate the competition. Though if your primarily video/portrait/landscape work, this cam is the end-all of image quality. sanveer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanveer Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 It does 4k INTERNALLY. Wow. It's a monster. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1159878-REG/sony_a7r_mark_ii_digital.html The only downside to this is, I am guessing, that Nikon and so many other manufacturers might want make their own sensors, since Sony has effectively sounded the death knell on everyone else.

sanveer Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I am curious. What features do people want on the GH5? Higher res? More Log options? Does anyone want more megapixels on Micro 4/3rds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Hughes Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I am curious. What features do people want on the GH5? Higher res? More Log options? Does anyone want more megapixels on Micro 4/3rds?Better low-light, high frame rates in 4k, ANY log options. Looks like the A7Rii still has that awful record button placement. Still, can't wait to see more images from it. sanveer and KirkGaydon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandro Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I wonder how the low light performance would be with a 42MP sensor... sanveer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattH Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 A7r mk II 4K in FF will probably have lots of moire issues (as per the press release), so they went in a customer-listening way and included a s35 mode, they searched for the lowest amount of pixels that can be mathematically ideal to be scaled down to 3840x2160, and that was a window of around 6K giving an approx 1.6x crop, close enough to s35 cinema standard. Pretty smart and customer-friendly decision, Canon and Nikon are really taking a harmful press hit tonight, really, really harmful. I mean this is an appeal for both hardcore photographers and hardcore videographers, it lacks nothing at least on paper.The press release does certainly imply that full frame isn't full readout:"In Super 35mm mode, the camera collects a wealth of information from approximately 1.8x as many pixels as 4K by using full pixel readout without pixel binning and oversamples the information to produce 4K movies with minimal moire and ‘jaggies’.In full-frame mode, the α7RII utilizes the full width of the 35mm sensor for 4K recording, allowing users to utilize the expanded expressive power of the sensor. It is the world’s first digital camera to offer this in-camera full-frame format 4K recording capacity1."however it doesn't state it specifically. It could be just the wording of the person who wrote the press release, however due to the vast amount of pixels to read out and the rolling shutter It could well be the case. If it is the case, It would feel weird to me buying a full frame camera to shoot apsc. Surely an A7s 2 is on the horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 The lowlight performance will be the same if not better as with the 36mp a7r when comparing the same sensor area. I wouldnt be surprised if its the same at pixel level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Having fullframe 4K with moire + pixel perfect S35 4K is nice imo. Use full sensor 4K for shallow DOF shots, moire isn't an issue anyway. S35 for detail/landscape shots.Even in S35 mode you could put a speed booster on it and have pixel binned fullframe 4K...

Although I would call it rull readout oversampled. Pixel perfect implies it is native resolution to me. But sure, a speed booster could be used.

Stronz Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Specs sound near perfect on the A7rII but I really wish sony would redesign the form factor. I really dislike the handling of the A7s and find it's short battery life and awkward ergonomics beyond frustrating. The form factor of the GH4 is much more to my liking but Panasonic needs to make a mirrorless camera with a larger sensor.Sony fix the form factor or Panasonic offer something larger than MFT, whoever moves first gets my money. Canon and Nikon can keep living in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The case is: it does FF 4k with aliasing/moire high rolling shutte, and s35 4K without them. S35 is the standard cinema format, but you also have 4K at FF if you need that. Best decision made on this camera as it would have been dull in press if it only had either of them. (aliased 4K or clean s35 crop). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone want more megapixels on Micro 4/3rds?No. Less megapixels. A multi aspect sensor like the gh2 with DCI 4k native at the widest setting. Global shutter, better dynamic range. 10 bit internal. There's pleanty of room for improvement. KirkGaydon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dugdale Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I love my Panasonic GH4, but I could see an a7Sii + a7Rii in my future without my GH4. Sony is killing it right now. sanveer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattH Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Could anyone with a 4k monitor tell me if there is any moire on the garage/shed roof in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdiRFFl1ZDwOn a HD monitor it shows bad artifacting on that roof at both 1080 and 4k. The sharpening looks pretty intense on that video as well. hopefully that was done in post or can be dialed down in camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanveer Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I love my Panasonic GH4, but I could see an a7Sii + a7Rii in my future without my GH4. Sony is killing it right now.Is that you Dave Dugdale? If yes, then could you please review the Shure LensHopper VP83F, instead of the VP83, again, after following the instructions. I felt your review did not justify the product. IMHO. And, since your reviews are usually so thorough, this one didn't seem right.Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
