Why does it look like Chris is having an existential crisis in every video?

I don't think early access matters. Most of the time people can wait a week or two for a review, especially if it isn't even out in the shops to buy yet.

Hmm. Crappy. Obviously Blackmagic didn't invite me to the hands-on. Pretty clueless of them not to. I would have quite liked to have taken one on a shoot. I do at least know what ProRes is

There is an official Canon giveaway of the EOS R here. https://www.visapourlimage.com/en/live-news/gagnez-un-systeme-eos-r-de-canon All I ask is if you win, donate to Magic Lantern.

I think the sensor hardware capabilities are very low level things and the crop just a result of that, but it does depend on what secrets Magic Lantern are able to unlock in the software. So in other words... Who knows? Wait and see. The 5D Mark III 3.5K RAW was a huge surprise and I never thought the hardware was capable of it.

Even if they can't get 4K RAW out of it reliably, full frame 2K RAW with Dual Pixel AF is not to be sniffed at

Magic Lantern proof of concept code is running on the 5D Mark IV. The developers are looking for volunteers to install it on their cameras and help with the research and testing process. Read the full article

Getting rid of the Canon will make room for one!

Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I wish I didn't have to buy two separate drones just to get the two different camera heads.

I agree they should do 6K H.265. The GH5 6K Photo Mode is the only thing that comes close. I don't really consider it an absolute must-have but I don't understand why the don't seize the marketing-hype opportunity of being the first 6K camera. Not everything has to be tied to TV specs, especially for advanced users. Maybe they are worried about the customer support calls when Mr Average tries 6K H.265 playback on his Chrome Book or wind-up CRT television. By the way I think Fuji are doing a great job. Love the X-H1 and the X-T3 as a photo cam had no reason to be this good at video!! It's lovely for $1500. Let's be grateful it exists. There are a number of Canon engineers who really admire Fujifilm and look up to them. They must be pretty dissatisfied at their management for the EOS R state of affairs. Some insight into Matthew Libatique ASC (Darren Arronofsky's regular DP, Black Swan, etc) promo shoot with the X-T3 https://www.fdtimes.com/2018/09/06/fujifilm-x-t3/

Plot twist... It's not.

HAHA. Hilarious!

The Canon Rumors Kompetition is Kaput?

What's the max buffer capacity in raw?

My Mavic 2 Pro gets very warm. Seems to have an internal fan as well. I think the image processor is in the main chassis of the aircraft rather than the tiny camera head, which is probably just a sensor and nothing else.

EOSHD = Fox News? I think you'll find more facts in one EOSHD review than in a whole year of Fox News.

This is a really good idea. The forum software doesn't have a Ghost feature but it should have it. I had to ban him in the end. Too much BLAH BLAH.

Sorry no. I am not reviewing the tech specs of the HDMI signal in isolation to the rest of the camera. I am as disappointed with the HDMI output as I am with the rest of the camera, because of what comes out of it. The Z7 I am not disappointed about in the least bit, either the HDMI or the internal codec, again because of the END RESULT. I don't care about the HDMI spec in isolation, I care what kind of image I am getting from it. Fact is it is 1.8x crop via HDMI. It is not full frame like the Nikon. Why would I review the HDMI port?! Based on how many pins it has or what bit depth it supports, when there is that massive elephant in the room of the image being 1.8x crop from it? Like I say above, it's not about "That one specific feature". I can say GREAT it's 10bit. What use is that without mentioning it's a 1.8x crop image? That is not how journalism works. You have to give the full picture (pun intended). It's not a dry tech fact-finding mission style blog. EOSHD is partly a personal blog and always has been about my own opinion and use of the cameras. The moment Canon stop being disappointing, I will praise them for it. Although they have generated a massive lack of goodwill with me, there's no bias without justification.

Not to mention we are about to get a new Sony... A7S III most likely. And at IBC Canon is rumoured to have a new XC style piece of cack.

Hmm, not the best test. We will find some others...

On the subject of adapters, the PL adapter is out already before the camera has shipped. I expect an EF adapter to follow just as quickly from China https://www.newsshooter.com/2018/09/06/mtf-services-nikon-z-mount-adapters/ No. I ban people when they are a pain in the fucking arse.

Wasn't the bike test shot in 1080p?

Oh well in that case we should ALL run out and buy it then! The masses are always right! Follow the crowd! I am switching to iMovie immediately and buying Canon stock. Anything that helps me shoot more cinematic footage, huh?! The perfect combo for the most stupid era of human history.

Yet!

It's not the same feature though, is it Mr Ignore The Crop Factor. On the Nikon it is full frame 10bit out. On the Canon it is crippled 1.8x crop 10bit out. So on the Nikon it is a bonus feature, I personally, won't be using it. Like I said in the article. And on the Canon it is a pointless waste of everybody's time, just like the internal recording. You shouldn't make so many excuses for it. You can use the beloved Sigma F1.8 on any APS-C camera or in S35 crop mode on the full frame Sonys. It is designed for 1.5x crop not 1.8x by the way.
