Sigma FP II has officially been announced.
-
There are so many trade-offs here it's impossible to actually discuss all of them in any sensible way, that's why I suggest simply trying them yourself, as the proof is in the pudding. The recommendation of 1/200s is 4 times shorter than 1/50, so the recommendation for 13mm and 11mm lenses are vastly different despite the focal lengths being quite similar. I understand this is a generic recommendation, but that only works for generic people, and I have never met any of those before! I'm assuming your statement about the ILS producing more detail in RAW is about still images? That's a whole other thing than video and these tradeoffs all go completely different since the modern standard for getting sharp images seems to require a shutter of 1/5000 or faster, if I go by the fact that people are photographing action sports and seem to want sub-pixel sharpness instead of their images representing the fact that there is any motion involved at all in the scene. Anyway, I'll leave you to your assessments, but I can tell you that if you shoot video on a potato and upload it to YT at 480p with a 180 shutter and compare that to video shot on the BM 17K URSA with a 45 shutter and uploaded at 8K, there will be people who prefer the 180 shutter just because the motion is so important to them. This is perhaps a drastic example, but a more practical one would be why anyone at all still shoots on 16mm. It is completely technically inferior in literally every regard, and yet, people still pay a huge amount of money for the pleasure. -

With the ILS, it's recommended to shoot at 1/200s or higher with a lens above 12mm (from what I hear). After, if you're bothered by the lack of blur, you can add it in post. At 12mm or wider, you can just follow the standard 180 degree shutter rule. Regarding the GX800 and the ILS, they are different beasts, with the ILS producing far superior detail in RAW (from a 50MP) sensor as long as the SS is high enough and provided you actually nail focus. Lumix lenses are usually sharper too but usually not faster when it comes to lenses with OIS; the exception being the Leica and Lumix 42.5mm's. So, that higher shutter can be made up for with faster manual focus glass. There are other shortcomings with the GX800- not great 1080p, 4k for only 5 minutes (sometimes 2 and unpredictable), and disastrous audio. The colors are amazing in the GX800 though with way better customization for that. The G100D might be a more fair comparison to the ILS. It does offer a lot too (EVF, fllip out screen). However, the readout on the sensor makes it very limited IMO and the EIS-only is unusable in 4K... decent audio though. Still, that camera is far bigger and I think that's what the ILS is all about. -
Sigma FP ii... So far it's not even up on Sigmas website, so no idea about codecs, but it does look like it does a 10-bit LOG internally, so at least one of the "gaps" in the OG seems to have been addressed. It's probably not the camera for me, but definitely respect to Sigma for trying something with the FP and continuing support for the concept.
