It is a standing on the shoulders of giants effort - as a1ex said on the ML forum. I don't think it's helpful for any individual to claim the plaudits. People should be careful about making money from information that should be freely shared. And people should rightfully feel miffed if their groundwork, effort and graft is not acknowledged or credited in later discoveries... Because it's all a collaborative chain. Anyway the most important thing is that it progresses towards a usable solution, as is happening... Meanwhile Canon continue to blank us and in the case of Gerald Undone after his review which covered overheating in-depth, completely ghost him. Meanwhile a site like DPReview which has toed the PR line and not contributed anything to the discourse, get rewarded with thousands of USD via marketing agreements and sponsored content like the EOS R6 video today. Fair? No. On ethical grounds I will be very reluctant ever to buy another Canon product again.

I don't really understand what you are saying. Anyway, yes it's great that the community and individual users put in the hard work and came up with a workaround so you can feel better about giving $4000 to Canon now... a company that in my opinion lied to their customers, refused to apologise, refused even to acknowledge anything was wrong. They are not off the hook. An official fix and apology is the only path back for them in my eyes, and whatever little reputation their sales & marketing people have left in terms of honesty. In my opinion they knew they'd played fast and loose with consumer law as well - which in my opinion was what the latest firmware update was all about - ensuring that they couldn't be sued in a class action by not measuring temps in the first release of the camera. In my view, the second firmware adds the temps into the mix in a pretty superficial way just so they can claim it's actually about temperature and thermal protection! Disgusting behaviour! Let's never lose sight of that and stop demanding that they come clean.

I quite like the look of 1.5 Iscorama or Bolex in 16:9 so not a major dealbreaker for me. Heck, I even like the super-wide anamorphic look of 2x from 16:9!! 3.55:1! The more black bars the better! Only Panasonic really recognise anamorphic shooters at the moment. Not even Sony have an open gate mode on the A7S III.

Youtube 4K quality is so poor you might as well shoot 1080p
Andrew - EOSHD replied to kye's topic in Cameras
I agree, that 8K even at low bitrates makes for stunning 4K. I have 8K on an Xiaomi Mi 10 smartphone, and it doesn't pixel peep well to say the least! But viewed at 4K it's glorious. -

It's also shot type dependant. Close-ups of plants, oranges, etc. don't demand as much resolution as a wide angle shot of a landscape at infinity focus. -

I can tell the difference between 4K YouTube and 1080p. Just not in Safari! -
X-H2 should be a mini $3000 GFX 100 I am undecided on whether that means S35 or MF!!

"User" is now sending me malicious communications via the contact form and has made a death threat. So his home IP address, user data, threats and malicious emails are all going to be handed over to law enforcement in his country. -

As well as telling "User" to stop attacking people, I sent "User" the following in a PM before the ban: "Can I ask you a favour. Please don't post links to deleted EOSHD topics in the Google Cache because Bloom is on a lawyer rampage at the moment... "I don't want to kick up a legal fuss... "Very important: For legal reasons please do not mention any of this on the forum... "Please keep this to yourself too. I am telling you because I trust you. So please reward that trust mate." The rest I've redacted. Do you know what "User" did next? Emailed the whole lot to Philip Bloom. -

User, hope you have enjoyed EOSHD for the past few years. You're no longer welcome here. I warned you before about the conduct towards Ed. It's because of reactions like yours that more women don't come forward in the film industry and more men don't call eachother out when the hear of alleged wrongdoings. -
I'd like to welcome Kazuto Yamaki, CEO of Sigma and the product manager of the Sigma Fp and Cinema lenses, Takuma Wakamatsu to the pages of EOSHD for this long interview! I have recently been shooting with anamorphic with my Sigma Fp - the video you can see above is shot with the Rapido Technologies FVD-16A focus module housing a tiny Bolex Moller 8/19 anamorphic. I have more on this soon, as well as how ProRes RAW performs on the Sigma Fp attached to Atomos Ninja V. Ever since the Sigma embarked on the high quality ART lenses the company's factory has output higher and higher quality products, even industry leading lenses in fact. Now the Sigma Fp marks their entry into filmmaking cameras too with internal 4K RAW recording, external ProRes RAW and even BRAW - as well as being the smallest interchangeable lens full frame camera available on the market.

What about concentrating on the women for a moment. To imply you don't believe them is to throw shade at them - that they must be some kind of psychopath liars, out to destroy their ex-boyfriend... This certainly wasn't my view of Sara or Sarah. Especially the second Sarah when she was working as Bloom's personal assistant / girlfriend, seemed like a consummate, stable, professional to me.
