  1. GLS are a nightmare. I posted a camera to Berlin from the UK once and Royal Mail handed it off to them. Didn't go well, basically sat in a warehouse undelivered. They are the worst courier service in Europe.
  2. On close inspection there is aliasing and some jaggies on high contrast edges, some moire, a bit like an A7R IV or D850, but it's more or less under control for the most part. Certainly helps to turn the sharpness down in-camera.
  3. I have that battery too. It's decent, but a considerable weight penalty.
  4. Edit: It's right there in the data sheet... https://www.sony-semicon.co.jp/products/common/pdf/IMX461ALR_AQR_Flyer.pdf See readout mode 5 at up to 30fps 12bit. Resolution is exactly 3882 x 2912. So if the GFX100 sensor can bin like that, why would it heavily line skip instead?
  5. Remember this? Didn't that refer to X-Trans IV / GFX 100? Or, as I speculated at the time - a medium format cine cam GFX H100? https://www.eoshd.com/news/fujifilm-hint-at-44x33-large-format-gfx-h100-filmmakers-camera-open-gate-4k3k/ In terms of the image in 4K on the GFX 100 I am impressed by it and I wouldn't say heavy moire or aliasing... More like barely noticeable and very detailed, especially with real world (of course you can always see some zoomed in on a chart). I heard the GFX100 reads every pixel horizontally as well, in 4K. Not sure about the line-skipping. Does it tell us in the Sony data sheet?
  6. There's the format conversion Metabones as well where it expands the image circle from a Nikon lens to fit the medium format sensor. Same look as full frame but 100MP and a Fuji. Can't do that with an A7 or Z6 yet
  7. Can confirm there is no 4K recording in full frame 35mm crop mode, it's medium format only. Not that I mind. Punch in magnification during recording works. It's not too heavy and I like the ergonomics. ALL-I H.265 10bit at 400Mbit. Remind me did X-T3 have ALL-I mode in H.265 or Long GOP only? A while since I shot with it. This doesn't feel like a big X-T3. Feels more in the X-H1 mould. Which is a good thing. They got rid of the hipster dials for ISO and shutter speed (GFX 50S also had those) and it's more like a DSLR.
  8. The internet allows you to make better decisions on what you DO buy. However it never stops, there is always something new and better on the internet. I find Flickr and YouTube compel me to buy stuff quite often... Flickr is a good way to find out if you like the look from a certain lens, but there are always great shots with every lens, so it's hard to be critical browsing through them all. While YouTube is very personal, very charismatic, it's like the great team of salesmen the camera companies never got themselves
  9. Agree, but sometimes peak current draw is too much for one battery, I believe... Especially if you have powerful spec like 8K going on
  10. How about 28-70mm F2.0 RF and be done with it?! Ok it's massive and not 24mm at the wide end but it's a marvel of lens engineering.
  11. Canon FD 24mm F1.4L It's practically a Canon K35 cine lens.
  12. Yes it is but the stills/movie dial lever is round the front... which is utter madness.
  13. I don't think the final specs changed or brochure is wrong, it is merely demonstrating how massive the sensor is compared to normal DCI full frame 4K. But definitely something for Fuji to consider in a firmware update if sensor allows it. A7R IV 4K bins nicely from 60MP. I will see whats up with F-LOG. Nothing that a good LUT or in-camera settings change can't fix Eterna is an option. Did it have Hybrid LOG Gamma?
  14. They have to distinguish it from thin, light X-T4!
  15. Is it just the Mi 10 Pro with 8K? Or do the other 108MP Xiaomi models do it... Mi Note 10 is only £389 in the UK. This is the same as the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro on DXOMark. But is that one 4K only? Wish they would simplify the naming and cut down number of models.
  16. Wow it looks very good but my Mac just melted trying to play it. H.265 8K? Gonna need a bigger boat!
  17. Why didn't you get on with the Z6?
  18. How does this work then? I thought stacked = DRAM mounted on back of sensor.
  19. Did you find the same with the internal 10bit F-LOG or not tried? I dislike external recorders so I will only be using the internal 10bit 4K.
  20. Yes that's where I saw it. Maybe it is just a comparison of sensor size and not trying to imply the GFX 100 records DCI 4K in full frame and super 35mm crop modes. Maybe as @androidlad says the FF mode is only for 60MP stills. Firmware update request going into Fuji if true.
  21. I still don't shoot much video on a smartphone. I don't know why but it's almost 100% a stills cam for me, and a very good one too. I find it very clever though how we are now able to get clean video off a 100MP chip or a 40MP. The sampling has got a lot more intelligent since the days of line skipping. Pixel mix / binning is now not so much the sin it once was, and with Quad Bayer it is actually turning into a nicely oversampled positive with big chunky pixels. Stills Mi 10 is 25MP output from the 108MP sensor. Mate 30 Pro is 10MP from 40MP... You can have it output the full 40MP RAW DNG. Is that possible with the Xiaomi? Comparison shots from DXOMark below only show the Mate 30 Pro in 10MP mode. However it is a very good 10MP mode that looks more like a normal camera at around 16MP. The Mi 10 25MP looks a bit lower when you pixel peep it - maybe 18MP. So the difference is there but not as massive as 40MP vs 108MP suggests at 1:1. I scaled the Mate 30 Pro up to 25MP and did a 1:1 crop compared to same crop on the Mi 10... Mate 30 Pro Mi 10 Pro The plants behind them look a bit more natural on the Mi 10 Pro but the difference in clothing texture shows actually an advantage to the Mate 30 Pro, weirdly. So either it is a soft glowing lens on there, or too much noise reduction?! Or just a bit off on the focus? As for the RAW... I find the JPEGs are often cleaner and more detailed with better dynamic range on smartphones, due to the composite, multi-shot, multi-lens, neural network upscaling, etc. nature of the beasts. But the RAWs do give you some low-fi natural look back and more fine grained noise, less sharpening and less NR. Raw sensor data at 1:1 from 108MP with 0.8 pixel pitch is always going to be quite noisy and soft... Although big leaps have happened in last few years! Can you edit such a large file on the phone? I can with the P30 Pro and Mate 30 Pro at 40MP but 108MP would be majorly pushing it! The big key to all this is the multiple sensors and lenses, composite images and computational imaging. The cameras should be seen as a system of cameras rather than one.
  22. Can you point me to the data sheet for the GFX 100 sensor? I seem to have lost it. Cheers
  23. Sure I read it somewhere but can't find it now. Might have to just crop in post!
