I'm still waiting to hear from the big names about it... Guess we'll have a long wait for that. I think they're probably more tied up about being bought by a streamer, than they are about being bought by a fascist.

You are posting tons of good things on this forum, but EOSHD is a website that is paying the price for being a rare voice for honesty in the camera press, and it has upset all the right rumours click-weasels and pathetic social media influencers... But as a result, EOSHD is being starved of oxygen - undeservedly of course. Who the hell made these idiots gatekeepers? You can help right a big wrong here. If you use the forum regularly please make sure to: - Post links to your EOSHD Forum topics around the web to invite other voices into the discussion - for example on social media sites like Reddit and on Facebook groups, and on other forums like the very large one at DPReview - Share EOSHD blog posts and articles if you find them relevant or interesting or even if you disagree with me - Begin topics on other camera forums and Disqus threads on rumors sites about the subjects featured here. Because you know what? We are one of the best and longest standing camera forums around. Let's fight back against the clickbait, AI slop and social media hype artists. Over and out.

Vimeo is in the process of deleting ALL my videos, due to their new policy of deleting their entire library of content for ALL non-current users without an active Pro paid subscription. Also, about 90% of my Vimeo was nurfed by the copyright music shambles, where Vimeo did the 3-strikes thing and they delete your entire account. So to avoid that, back in the day, I just decided to make these videos private, and unlisted. I have not got round to putting it all on YouTube yet, but perhaps I should?

I had a play with the Nikon Zr today and quite liked it, it's a capable, good value for money Sigma-Fp style camera with very good autofocus and finally a screen with which you can see what is in focus and what isn't. Well done Japan for going large after 25 years of 3.0 inches. It's the sort of camera that would be very exciting back in the day of the DSLR video revolution to say the least... Nowadays though, I find other stuff more exciting. Also the screen tilting mechanism sucks... I'd far rather they'd drop the YouTube vlog-style swivel screens on a camera like this and have a standard tilt screen that is ON AXIS with the fucking lens, and with it being so large it really feels unbalanced stuck out at the side and blocking the ports. In a way the Zr feels like a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K but done well. But it doesn't feel very high-end, even if the image is. Also I miss the EVF and think the Z6 Mark III is even more bang for buck. So yeah, doesn't set my hair on fire but it's going to be a very decent buy for a lot of people.

Canon does do better skintones but it applies to the 8bit JPEG engine and rec.709 Standard video recording mode, it doesn't apply to LOG because the look of skintones come from the post processing side i.e. LUT. I am amazed people don't know this haha

I'm talking about LOG video, it really does depend on the user more than the camera how the colours come out, especially as the modern range of gear now have a similar high level of codecs. So the Z-LOG = S-LOG = F-LOG they're all very much the same sort of thing. Whenever you see this LOG footage on YouTube, it's been graded by the user, either with a LUT or with their own grading skills in Resolve. Yet all the comments are like this... WOW the camera has great colour science, blah blah blah. And i's the same with RAW... All the sensors are now at a high level, similar dynamic range and so on. If anything they are now too good and are moving AWAY from the look of film. As for colour science... If you shoot JPEG or rec.709 video, then what the camera is doing matters far more. But in LOG they are all using a very similar wide colour gamut, and similar LOG curve, similar white balance, it is only the 8bit side that still has a big variation between Film Simulations, Photo Styles and Creative Looks. So just bear in mind next time you see footage on YouTube that the LUT is doing 99.99% of the colour you're seeing not the camera.

Wonder what the BOM cost is on that... $300?

It is true that the Sony name now demands a premium, more so than ever before – because E-mount is the best mount. Pure and simple. It's like the Canon EF days all over again! And in most places Sony is selling the same amount of mirrorless kit (if not even more) than Canon so they don't need to do a bait and switch with their pricing any more.

They all look the same these cameras to me.

The comments say Nikon has such great colours, but with LOG footage the colours are up to the user not the camera.

Especially with so much competition, and smaller cameras.
