  1. The eye video is extremely revealing. I encourage everyone to give this a pixel peep. Had expected Blackmagic URSA G2 to do a lot better in the shadows at -9 stops. It's one of the worst in the test for dynamic range. Worse than Sony's codec. MAVO does really well... Proper RAW look to it. Arri is a bit iffy in the highlights. S1 definitely best bang for buck. X-T3 seems to outperform C500 II
  2. I took a look - Absolutely top article and very interesting results! https://vimeo.com/402727266 https://www.slashcam.de/artikel/Test/AG-DOK-Kameratest-2020---u-a--mit--Blackmagic-6K--Canon-C500-MkII--Panasonic-S1-H--und-Sony-FX9--Videos----Beo.html
  3. When you enable electronic shutter on an A7 III picture profiles are disabled So that could be why they didn't get implemented on A9 where the electronic shutter is such a big part of the deal. Still very much a glaring oversight. I know a lot of A7 III users who'd happily upgrade to an A9 or A9 II if they got the same features but a few extras and the better AF / e-shutter / burst rates.
  4. Blummin heck. So you can begin to see what roadblocks the manufacturers face when it comes to RAW codecs. If BRAW is tied to Blackmagic FPGA that is a completely 360 degree turn away from ASIC and your power economy goes out the window. If ProRes RAW encoding also needs FPGA hardware, the heat management and battery life problems again scupper that. If RED's patent prevents decent compression, then we have a situation where costs increase or a licensing / patent transfer takes place. Canon RAW is compressed but file sizes still huge. And RF mount on Komodo suggests that compression wasn't free of charge. Sigma Fp uses uncompressed Cinema DNG, so again file sizes are an issue there too. H.265 ALL-I 10bit is a good solution if you look at it that way. And is good enough for 99% of cases. Maybe RAW is overrated when you actually compare the graded end results.
  5. No issues here yet. What's the gist of the cause? Electronic / GPU noise interference or is it software / codec related?
  6. What's to stop BRAW being used by Panasonic internally?
  7. Absolutely BANGING Never had bass like this from a laptop. Taunt, precise, detailed. Sound stage is massive. Highs are a bit excitable but it adds to the energy. They are so entertaining. I have some special Berlin audio equipment on my desk and I have to say this LAPTOP is just as much fun. Can't quite believe I am saying this, so if you have a chance to try one out in a shop make sure you turn it full blast and play some Swedish rock through it What a bomb she was!

    RED Komodo

    Doesn't always look good. I spent £6000 on a 1DX3 remember and got 32ms rolling shutter, worse than the 8 years old 1D C (24ms) in 4K 24p
  9. I have just noticed an issue with battery drain while the camera is off. I can come back to S1H later and battery is kaput. Maybe this is what PannySVHS is seeing... One time he looks battery is 80%, next time he picks it up it unexpectedly has just 5% left and powers down?
  10. Feels a bit more like it. But the battery compartment wobbles.
  11. Is it a RAW still then? I can see the case for the 5.5K/60P RAW for short bursts but 20fps mechanical shutter in live-view would probably do the job It has barely any blackout on the 1DX3. Europe is a motorsport heaven. All sorts going on. Or at least there was. Planning to go to Le Mans in September once stuff is back on the calendar.
  12. Very nice shot What camera was it with?
  13. Are those stills frames or video frames? I still think I'd prefer not to have to workaround 32ms rolling shutter on a £6000 pro DSLR but that's just me But it can. Dual Pixel AF in 4K/60p in 1.3x crop mode. The issue may be that the sensor goes into a different sampling mode in full frame 4K/60p and cannot remove the impact of Dual Pixel AF from the image (see 70D and Magic Lantern initial builds)
  14. Yes sure I blame them, why wouldn't I? With great power comes great responsibility. If you have a monopoly over the internet you should do your best not to abuse it for the bottom line at every opportunity.
  15. That's the impression I got at the Panasonic S1 unveiling in Barcelona. Really very into themselves. Here is the response from Cinema5D by the way:
  16. Rolling shutter in 4K on the A9 is very good. On the A7R IV in full frame and the pixel binning 4K full frame cameras it's fine too. Plenty of full frame cameras do it better than 1DX3
  17. Please follow those who deserve it! High quality info...

I am going to do a proper list later. It is not about the number of friends you have in life. It's about the quality.
  18. Yes absolutely. Let's focus on the good people.

This literally only took me 2 minutes. So I'll give all the others a shout later. I need to get off the internet now and do some shooting! It is not about the number of friends you have in life. It's about the quality of your friends. And the same goes for the internet. You don't need to visit 10,000 people. Just follow a few good quality ones who are actually nice people who deserve it.
  19. Just run the SQL commands. 1049 links to DPReview removed from EOSHD forums 398 links to Cinema5D removed from EOSHD forums PS I have met Chris and Jordan in person. Not in the least bit likeable on that occasion.
  20. Honestly I am past caring I don't care what your opinion is I do not like the guy and that is that. You are no longer welcome to spam the forum full of links to rival sites. How about making your own tests? Your own content? Anyone can surf the web.
  21. It's time to take a stand. DPReview for the umpteenth time refuse to lift the blanket ban on EOSHD URLs on the forum, so I am going to do the same. No DPReview links are welcome on this forum and they'll be deactivated automatically. Of course you are still free to discuss their articles, but I don't see why I should drive their traffic while they do their best to shut me out and censor their own forum users. To be honest it'll be no great loss if you didn't discuss their articles, in my opinion. Now the same goes with Cinema5D because I disagree fundamentally with the ethics of those who run the site. They have been absolute horrors towards EOSHD and never supported my presence as a rival from day one. They deleted their user's DSLR community, tossed an entire forum in the trash. Remember this and please don't draw attention to their articles which are in my opinion, blatantly misleading biased reviews, like with the 1D X Mark III rolling shutter situation and the hatchet job on the GH5 when that came out. You can get your info directly from me here instead so you don't need them anyway. Nofilmschool are banned for same reasons due to my view of their editorial and business ethics. With Nofilmschool this is also a zero loss. I don't think there's been a mention of them for years. Who reads that exercise in SEO any more? Please appreciate, that my appeal to all of you in this forum is....Choose your sources with thought and care!! This forum should be good quality info. I don't want it to become an aggregate of misinformation and a place to bookmark YouTube clickbait, page after page. Best of all, let's create our own content. We all have a camera. Let's test it, shoot with it, compare it. And lenses too, and software, and computers! There are so many good people out there doing superb cinematic work and camera reviews. Let's draw attention to them instead.
