This is like the higher-spec Lumix S9 with EVF and mechanical shutter I wanted Panasonic to make. For $2700 the Sony FX2 is an interesting beast but it does have a few major caveats. 1 – quite a slow sensor with a lot of rolling shutter in 24p. 2 – Sony still doesn’t have an internal RAW recording codec to call their own, or even ProRes RAW in the FX2…

The latest news on cameras, from EOSHD
A Fujifilm JPEG-only half-frame toy for 850 smackers, the latest Sony flagship for 7000 something + tax, and the new mid-range “standard model” S1 II from Panasonic yours for a bargain $4000 with ‘basic’ kit zoom. It all begs the question, have the Japanese lost the plot?
Nikon is expected to bring RED technology, including the famous REDCODE RAW recording format to a camera resembling the Sony FX3. According to Nikon Rumors, it will be dubbed the Nikon Zr (R for RED). Panasonic is also expected to launch an FX3 competitor, whilst Sony themselves are to launch a cheaper FX2 with the same sensor as the a7 IV. All in all, it could be an interesting Summer…
Are Panasonic open to some honest feedback? I can only hope so.
Now we get to set up our quantum computer to work out which codec is active in which crop mode.
Client journalism, you see it at the White House. Bunch of tossers, bunch of boot lickers, the same people who appeased the ruling party in 1930s Germany. Panasonic comes along, dying brand and says hey EOSHD – can you sign an NDA, it’s 25k fine if you leak it to L-mount rumours dot com. Oh really? That happens with every release doesn’t it? But apparently that’s £25k if I should…
Fujifilm have announced their entrance to the high-end cinema camera world, utilising the same sensor as their medium format flagship camera, GFX 100 Mark II. As anyone with a GFX 100 II will tell you, Fuji went completely overboard with the video and cinema features – with multiple crop modes to support a wide range of Fujinon lenses. Now this is all going into a dedicated cinema camera body, the…
I love Panasonic and the innovation they have brought to the market ever since the start of their Leica partnership in the early 2000s. They are pioneers and the result is that boring Canon are on 35% share of the market Panasonic started, and Panasonic is on a pathetic 2.5%. This clearly isn’t long term viable and I am starting to wonder if Panasonic have soft quit the market.
