Comment on the forum How about a new kind of camera benchmark – Netflix. Their production guidelines for original 4K content have been updated to include the Panasonic S1H. According to Netflix the S1H’s image in DCI 4K mode at 400Mbit 10bit 4:2:2 ALL-I plays in the same ballpark as pro cinema cameras costing many times more.

Above: X-T30 versus the EOS RP (coming soon on EOSHD) Comment on the forum The Canon 90D targets wildlife shooters. I refuse to believe we’re a smaller market than wild boar pig lovers.
Comment on the forum A particularly strange virus has spread across the internet, which seems to infect people defending Canon’s latest cameras, shorn of the cinema frame rate 24p.

It’s tempting to look at classic cinema as a quaint, anticipated thing of the past. It’s an under-fire aesthetic like never before.
