  1. Meanwhile at DPReview: So much for free speech! And their feedback section has plenty of concerns about the amount of sponsored content they have been running lately https://***URL removed***/forums/5001 Which I criticised... Hence the ban on my links. Are we living in China or the west?
  2. Indeed, but it's astonishing the lows a PR department can go to for clicks. So in a way not too surprising. Canon's legal department once tried to pull Canon Rumors down altogether, but as they have survived and become a regular source of clicks, Canon's PR department has got involved. You can envisage a point in the future where their legal department will be trying to sue someone at the same time their PR department is running a give-away with them. Satire has become the modus operandi of companies and politicians in 2018 Aside from your visits to EOSHD counting against you at Canon Rumors, imagine what other data they are holding about your browsing history. Like I say, I think people should query that with Craig directly - canonrumorsguy@gmail.com And request deletion of ALL tracking cookies immediately.
  3. Yes that's the latest trick. It was always my intention to criticise clickbait until it vanishes off the internet, only to be replaced with a text file saying "Hello"! Now let's start on 43rumors!
  4. Check this out https://www.newsshooter.com/2018/11/14/tilta-bmpcc-4k-cage-hands-on-interbee-2018/ An all-new preview hands-on. But most interestingly of all take a look at the price. Half cage is $99. That's a LOT cheaper than the other high-end cages I've seen so far. The other bits are very competitive too.
  5. I asked Canon Rumors about the redirecting to EOSHD of his URLs. Apparently we disrupted his little tie-up with Canon's PR department, when I jokingly asked people to join the EOS R give-away so we could give it to Magic Lantern to play with. Their PR people cancelled it ? Or was I joking? I can't remember Anyway, he is trying to ban us from viewing the site now, by using a script on his server that detects if you have visited a Canon Rumors link on EOSHD, and redirecting that link back here. Along with a lot of fishy ad trackers on there which analyse your web browsing history and past purchases. If you don't like this email him. canonrumorsguy@gmail.com I am sure he will come to his senses eventually, and maybe even give one of his EOS Rs to Magic Lantern ? In the meantime if you want to link to a clickbait made-up Canon Rumors story from an EOSHD forum post, I'm not going to stop you, just use an URL shortener like Google's This should bypass their blocking. Try going to this Canon Rumors article via my shortened link for instance: https://goo.gl/Krp6W5
  6. Z6 in the YouTube title. Z7 on the titles. What to believe. Christ.
  7. Well we make art primarily for ourselves and get a lot of pleasure putting it out there, sharing it with other people. It's up to them whether they have a proper view from the crowd or not. It's a shame a lot of them don't but nothing we can do about it Tech companies on the other hand could start by getting their fucking act together
  8. I just received my Kipon. I'll be reviewing it this week on the Nikon Z7. E-mount version is the same glass.
  9. It's not just you. I could go through Google to that Canon Rumors news post about the Sony sensor and it would bounce me straight back to EOSHD. I have no ad cookies on this site or tracking cookies, it's just images and text, so what is going on at Canon Rumors to direct people here through what I assume is an error on their site? Deeply suspicious.
  10. Looks like they fixed the headline but... this page 2 link STILL points to EOSHD! What game is going on here? WTF?!
  11. Not like you to miss the point lol. A LOG profile is not just a dynamic range tool in the box, it is necessary for colour grading, colour matching, LUTs, and more.
  12. If only Sony knew how to do apps justice, they could have taken over with this sucker.
  13. What was this Sony live view grading app we speak of? I must have missed that. Tethered?
  14. Could be worse, it is not on fire like California is!! What's going on with the climate... It's bonkers.
  15. It's the difference between Canon LOG and a flat profile. With the flat profile, I find Nikon start the black level quite low and so the shadows get more compression. H.264 doesn't prioritise that area. With Z-LOG I start the black level a lot higher like Canon LOG does and also the colour gamut is different. Also there are two Z-LOG profiles - Cinema and "L". In Cinema mode the camera uses the best Nikon colour science there is, the basis of which is the Standard profile. I was able to get absolutely superb results from this, with minimal grading effort. In L mode it uses a colour gamut similar to Sony S-LOG and that makes it more compatible with existing LUTs. Jacob - not sure what LUT you are using. You can't use the same LUT on Flat, Z-LOG Cinema and Z-LOG L as they all have different gamma curves and colour spaces. I'd be happy to see some of your tests but the original footage rather than the graded stuff. If you post graded stuff I don't know what you are doing to the file. Also it might be that the scene you shot of your girlfriend isn't challenging in terms of dynamic range so you won't see the advantage of Z-LOG over one of Nikon's built in profiles, especially in the blacks.
  16. Yep ask for a replacement. It's not that flimsy on most cameras, just some of them. Mine has not fallen off yet, and no battery has got stuck... Mainly because, it has to be said, it's been raining EVERY EFFING DAY since I got my camera and still cannot go out and shoot properly with it!! Time to move to Spain?!
  17. Use your better judgement. I am sick of being led out to some clickbait SHIT or discussing ad-infinity yet another shitty YOUTUBE video. This forum needs to get back on track. It's a turn off. When did you guys stop CREATING stuff and posting that instead?!
  18. I think we have a serious problem with the truth. We have a problem with clickbait. And in some ways Webrunner5, you just contributed to the problem. If you want to discuss the Fran 8K on this thread, keep discussing it. NO more off-topic clickbait. OK? Or I'll have no choice but to have this forum clean up it's act and that will include dropping members who frequently link out to bad sources of info, or spread mis-information. There is enough bullshit and misinformation on YouTube and the internet, without creating more links to it here. Understood?
  19. Funny thing is, colour isn't even just a science
  20. One alternative could be... erm Vimeo. Set up a second *free* account with them, backup all your videos to this account but set them to private. If the main channel goes down due to DMCA you can instantly switch to that second free account. Simply make all videos public (apart from the ones DMCA'ed obviously) and upgrade to Plus or Pro. You would then only lose the comments and view stats - still not an ideal solution but better than losing everything and having to re-up in a hurry, re-title, and all that. At least by creating the backup ghost channel you can just cut & paste video titles and descriptions exactly as they were. You would still need all the original files but downloading them over a period of a week would be workable. It would take me forever and a day to go back through 8 years of shoots and re-up without a reference Vimeo account to go from.
