I agree. You got to the heart of it there. And on top of that mindset he displays absolutely no learning, no knowledge, no talent for photography or film. A consumerist twerp in a baseball cap. The primitive dumb humour really is on his audience's level True! He does seem to be a genuine, authentic weirdo. What I have come to like about it is he does actually get it right. The actual camera musings are really solid. I even learn something from it. I have not learnt a single bit of knowledge from Kai. And Chris / Jordan just state the obvious... what could be written down in one paragraph stretches to over 10 minutes. It comes down in the end to why people watch YouTube Is it to learn about cameras and be entertained. Or is it to just be entertained only and indulge in some warm, fuzzy, consumerism? The way most people treat YouTube is same way as going shopping with friends for a new pair of Nike. Kai treats people with distain speaking from personal experience. At the last Photokina he was shooting with Blackmagic P4K. So I DM'ed Kai to see if he'd be up for a shoot. I always try to meet in person if I want to figure out what somebody is like. He said a vague yeah, totally uncommitted... really disrespectful. A day passes, nothing. He then actually started teasing me with photos of his BM P4K, while dodging the meet-up for a coffee. WTF? Then I pushed again to meet up and he ghosted me till the end of the show. He was literally in same show hall as me. And this is a guy who has not once reached out to EOSHD or used the forum, or referenced me in his work over 10 YEARS of being in same camera community!! So he can fuck off as far as I'm concerned and take his shitty videos with him.

I thought at first it was just Safari refusing to do 4K but yes it is only in 1080p. Wish there was a Vimeo-like site for high quality cinematic stuff, that actually worked.

There is a Sigma Fp review on YouTube by you know who... "This camera is TERRIBLE" It is an absolute travesty of justice that it has 105k views whereas Sigma's short film has less than 3000. It is exactly for this reason I am so reluctant to put any effort into YouTube content myself. I can't compete with all the bullshit. You have to feel sorry for the director. I think Films are better off in the cinema. "Sin sin" was going to Cannes before the coronavirus hit. Better to rise above. I am proud of my written reviews. Don't care if it's a niche, or if I'm an outsider! Been doing them for 10 years. Why give that up and basically go on a TV shopping channel? My 1D X III YouTube review has about 2000 views - was a complete waste of time I'd have to embrace advertising and tacky merchandise to make YouTube work financially. And if it worked I'd get a big ego. Besides, it's a real grind and work rate is atrocious - I am not willing to become part of the YouTuber-manager-orchestrated-circle-jerk of established YouTube celebrities.

If you don't want that prick talking about it and the price going up why have you plastered the video all over this forum?

HDMI is just a data protocol really. A bit like USB is. I assume RAW sensor data (1s and 0s) come out of the Z-CAM and all the Ninja V does it is compress it to ProRes RAW format. HDMI has a bandwidth limitation like USB but that has increased over the recent years with HDMI 2.0 needed to transmit more and more data, like 4K/60p for instance.

AMD Radeon GPU required for 422 then, perhaps?

My review of the film: https://www.eoshd.com/news/review-of-the-sigma-fp-4k-raw-film-sin-sin/

And Intel CPU acceleration?

Z-CAM with ProRes RAW is in many way more useful on that camera, because you need to add the screen anyway, and it doesn't have a standard or widely supported internal RAW codec, so you may as well use the Ninja with it if you want to shoot RAW. The 5.8K will be on the more expensive larger sensor models and I think 4K on the M43 Z-CAM E2. I'll do a blog post about it in due course. Would help if they could keep me informed so I can prepare one. I'm not a psychic

Is it true that 10bit 4:2:2 isn't hardware accelerated? Maybe this is why Fuji go for 4:2:0

Logged on and what do I see Yes another topic waylaid by Super8 causing arguments If you keep it up, I will have to do what's best for the forum as an informative tool for filmmakers. And you know what that means.

Yes OK.

I have been considering real names for this forum for a while but it doesn't seem to help the comment standard on the EOSHD Facebook group

Good post I think the leaf shutter compacts like X100 need a 2 or 3 stop ND for exposures in bright light at F2. The Sony RX1 had a maximum mechanical leaf shutter speed of 1/2000 but no ND in that and I found it tricky to avoid overexposure in sunlight. On some cameras e-shutter kicks in to give you 1/8000 but then you get rolling shutter. The FS5 variable eND I don't remember moving out of the way but I could be wrong on that. I think the sensor stack just goes clear. If you move glass out of the way it changes the focus and image quality, doesn't it? I could be wrong about that. The easiest "slide out the way" solution for me would be to have a slot-in ND filter over the sensor that inserts into the camera like a memory card behind a door. This way you can quickly take it out or put it in without messing with filter rings or adapters. The ideal solution would be an eND that goes clear. The other solution would be variable ND in the lens adapter but it wouldn't sell very many native mirrorless mount lenses. Canon's for example only works with EF lenses!

All those sharp lenses from 30 years ago must have fooled me. Lenses ARE an investment. Some of mine have increased in value by as much as $1000 to $2000 in just 5 years for rarities, some in 10 years. Especially anamorphic. I have well used lenses from the 1970s that are incredibly sharp nearly 50 years later. Nikon 105mm F2.5 Sure there will be duds But none of what I read in this topic matches my experience and I have a lot of experience due to being an addict

https://www.eoshd.com/news/fujifilm-hint-at-44x33-large-format-gfx-h100-filmmakers-camera-open-gate-4k3k/ What 100MP quad bayer capable sensor were Fuji referring to in this document (if not the GFX 100)? It doesn't look like the GFX 100 actually employs this readout method. So is this something they are saving for a future camera?

The big mystery of the day. Is @androidlad actually Graeme Nattress? 😃

Looks like the power issue is being worked on https://www.eoshd.com/news/sigma-addresses-leica-sl2-battery-power-error-with-mc-21-adapter-firmware-update/ I'll give it another test

Hello I reached into the darkest corner of the EOSHD server and fixed the links They are working on this page now: https://www.eoshd.com/gh2-patch-vault/ Enjoy!

Probably had to run everything by legal first.

Is that mountain bike an E-bike? If it's 10bit footage the luma range should not be 0-255. I would check to see if it is a problem with the actual recording & Ninja V, or if it is a problem with FCPX. Try downloading the free version of Resolve and see if that fixes the footage. If it's still bust, it means the issue is on the camera side not the NLE side.

Wonder if Long GOP codec is improved? Or is ALL-I still the way to go. I'll do some shooting tomorrow.

Makes me wonder if this is LOG without the branding

Good news. This is something I asked about in my upcoming Fuji interview. Looks like I can delete the question now

ProRes 422 LT is quite light in terms of file sizes. Not bad quality either.
