  1. My answer is pretty simple, I was asked where the footage is, and I told you. As for the rest of it, you'll only end up disagreeing with me if you spout idiotic comments on a daily basis. Oops. Too bad for you.
  2. It is quite reasonable to wait until a camera is actually finished before wanting to see the footage from it. In terms of the specs, full frame 12bit Cinema DNG RAW in a very small stills camera is a revolution as far as I'm concerned and you should be welcoming Sigma for the first time to the video market. Another innovative manufacturer has joined the area of imaging you are most interested in, and all you can do is moan about not having any footage yet from a pre-beta firmware version. I put up with stupidity like this daily for 8 years. I am entitled to ask you to shut up. It's my forum. I also put up with almost daily hostile feelings from people who feel cross, one way or another. If you are complaining constantly it saps my energy and makes me want to do something else. I don't get to control when the footage gets published, it is quite reasonable for a camera company to decide that, not me.
  3. They are stills lenses with breathing and a huge mark-up.
  4. I'll tell you exactly why Sigma had the camera there with only the second firmware ever developed, pre-beta... More like an alpha copy of it. The image quality is far from final, and they dictate when they want to release the images, not me. Do you know when your driver's license gets full of points because you're reckless and have annoyed other road users - that's your forum license @DBounce - definitely one of the more annoying, rude and biased users I have to respond too on here. So be careful, as bad drivers get banned.
  5. Worse. Less detail, more moire and aliasing. The DPReview chart of 90D shows you what to expect. Compare it to the X-T30 or X-T3 and it's even more clear how mushy it is and how much moire there is going on
  6. I have original clips but can't be bothered even to share them. Nothing to see here!
  7. The SSD is powered through USB C, same as connecting it to your laptop. Same as on the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K / 6K.
  8. Good to see Magic Lantern going strong, and great seeing Berlin through fresh eyes Also cheers for the nice comments about the shooter's guide. Have you tried the 3.5K crop mode yet?
  9. Yep great to meet you Crazy coincidence of me checking out the Panasonic 8K and you being there with an Iscorama!!
  10. It can do 4K RAW internal and 4K MOV ALL-I Nobody at Sigma is saying it will cost $3000. They are saying UNDER $3000 and that is a conservative rough ballpark figure by reps because they don't know what the price is going to be yet. Could be anything from $1000 to $2999.
  11. Experiment and tell us It's not something I've tried, but should work well with Pro LOG. Do you have that too? Let me know if you'd like to try it and I'll send you a copy for free to experiment with and try with Film Convert.
  12. Yes they said under $3000, but I prefer to think of this as "price isn't decided to a large degree". I reckon it'll be £1999.
  13. There were two highlights of IBC 2019 for me. The Sigma Fp, and the Z-CAM range. From the ground-up the Sigma Fp seems to be aimed at us, at artists. A small and incredibly light camera that hits the big full frame notes, some of the niche features like the digital director's viewfinder would be unheard of in a consumer full frame camera from a major manufacturer. This is clever and will get the camera a lot of use by top-flight talent. Most exciting for me is the focus on the video recording features - which are big leap for Sigma and indeed push the boundaries of whet we expect from a "prosumer" camera.

  14. You’re a 30p user, must remember that.
  15. The 1/120 is intriguing me as well. You'd not think the rolling shutter would kick in at slower shutter speeds?
  16. Probably. They had a few. Most very expensive. Nothing caught my eye in terms of doing a $1000 Iscorama quality small adapter, which is what we need here.
  17. At IBC the Organic Sensor technology Panasonic is developing turned up in the camera above (with a rather nice choice of Cooke cinema lens). Along with the prototype camera, Panasonic had a wealth of information about what makes it such a big step for filmmaking and video. Read the full article
  18. I had a go of this at IBC and found the concept admirable but I think they have work to do on the charm of the images it produces and character. Perfect size, build quality and price though. Would have liked to shoot more with it but they wouldn't let it out of the show and I much prefer the Iscorama for what I do.
  19. Long interview with Sigma coming up from me with Sam Smith, one of the UK guys who really knew his stuff on the video side. Stay tuned. Also this guy was there:
  20. I bought the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K recently and decided to take it on a shoot at Monza, to film last weekend's Formula One race and famous old banking (where sequences for 1966's John Frankenheimer film Grand Prix were shot). I also had a few stills cameras with me including the Canon EOS RP, and considerably more capable Fuji X-T30 and Samsung's famous last camera, the NX1, the only good one they ever made. These are super-fast small bodies for travelling light and the NX1 in particular with it's stunning 4K quality turned out to be perfect for sports photography with the 15fps continuous shooting rate.

  21. I am completely not interested in pro cameras, $10,000 stuff. EOSHD is not about this shit! Although it does explain why we have no a7s iii. Internal Sony politics. Oh well, it exists... Better get on with using my 10bit mirrorless cameras from other manufacturers. Yes absolutely agree... Pick one of these up for ten dollar!? Yes please! A bargain for 100% of this forum ? At $10,000 it is a bargain for 1% of this forum and 99% of the Cinema5D forum... Although the latter doesn't seem to exist any more ? Too inconvenient!
  22. With Canon debuting the C500 II today, demand for a full frame in a C-series body is clearly there but Fujifilm is looking further into to the future. Their X-Trans IV sensor technology has already debuted in the GFX 100 and X-T3 but I can reveal a leaked slide-show shows Fujifilm might be taking the technology much further than we believed... A large format 44x33 camera optimised for open gate 4K3K RGB. Read the full article
  23. More ill-informed bollocks. Canon 1D X was 4K capable, disabled in firmware. Digic processors in 1D C are identical. Canon 5D Mark III was capable of a 4K sensor readout, as Magic Lantern RAW clearly shows. Both those cameras date back to 2012! Are you suggesting Canon went backwards with slower processors until 6 years later? 5D Mark IV was Digic 6 by the way. Obviously not insignificant enough for Canon to keep it in like they did with nearly all previous cheap Rebel DSLRs aimed at the same customers. If it is an insignificant number tell me why Canon are bothering with the crippling at all or care enough to push customers towards the EOS R!
  24. 19.8ms rolling shutter is ok. Not quite as good as a GH5 but given it is 6K and a larger sensor, it's on par with Fuji and much better than a Sony A6500. IMATest says dynamic range is 0.2 stops better vs Pocket 4K. And the number is completely meaningless because the Pocket 4K is pink. A reminder always to trust your eyes and not only the numbers.
