This is not my experience and I've met Kinson at IBC in person! Very nice guys, open to feedback and they constantly fix and improve firmware. I believe you are confusing defensive fanboy users on Facebook with Z-CAM themselves! It is good enough that Kinson actually takes the time to engage directly with users on Facebook. Do you see the Canon CEO doing that?

This video literally repulses me The way she dodges the crop factor specs is just one of the horrible things in it (5:20) Johnny being the other!

I feel really sorry to write this blog post after all Panasonic have done for us over the years. GH1, GH2, GH4, GH5, GH5S, S1, S1H, LX100, a long stream of affordable 4K cameras and a big commitment to enthusiasts and filmmakers! But recently I feel they are making absolutely bone-headed decisions. Who is responsible? Thoughts on Panasonic G100 – Why they got it so VERY wrong https://www.eoshd.com/news/thoughts-on-panasonic-g100-why-they-got-it-so-very-wrong/

If they could be made to realise how profitable it would be for the entire industry, they'd probably be onboard but still pulling the strings all the same to get their products in front of an audience.

But Flat is. The question is this... How close to LOG is it? Is it LOG by another name? Did Sigma have to change the naming convention for licensing reasons with Sony for their sensor?

The forum has a new feature. It's an argue amongst yourself privately and save the EOSHD audience pages of off topic bullshit button. https://www.eoshd.com/comments/messenger/compose/

It seems to be some sort of flat profile now in the Off mode. Desaturated, brings the shadows up. Definitely seems to be more "Flat profile" than LOG but still interesting to further experiment with.

Some fair points in this

It was quite loose on mine and there's no positive locking adapter for EF that I know of at least.

Only the AF was better really. I did not warm much to it, and sent mine back to Amazon for a refund. Didn't even really feel the need to review it, because for the same money (actually less) you can buy a used E-M1 II which is very similar and better in many ways - ergonomically for instance, it also has LOG and latest AF speeds. So if you are going to move up from the E-M10 III, get a used E-M1 II or G9 for £650 that's my advice!

Here is an idea for all the camera companies. How about instead of flying everybody to Hawaii they start a fund for proper journalists and artists. From that fund, lots of great resources about cameras will spring and it will inspire others to take up the hobby or career of photos / videos. The shilling thing will eat itself eventually anyway and kill YouTube completely as a trustworthy website.

Fuck me. Glad we are back on topic

Maybe there aren't many left to point you to. But perhaps also if every thread you posted in didn't descend into rambling sycophantic difficult to understand nonsense about me, we'd find out.

Isn't Sony just cannibalising their A6400 with the "vlogging" RX100 clone? Seems stupid. Panasonic are probably hurting sales of the GH5, G90 and more besides with the GX9-clone for vloggers.

I'd prefer you would not focus on me so much in the threads. I find it embarrassing to be honest. Talk to somebody else.

The crop factor stills reduces the market for a stills camera, because full frame is the pro standard. It doesn't mean to say there is not a place for S16 and M43 in cinema, or even in stills. It does mean to say that customer choice is important and Olympus never stepped outside the one sensor size fits all bracket.

Again you are going on about the personal when the topic can and should be about the objective. Philip Bloom makes glossy reviews. That doesn't mean to say I am attacking him for it. However then @rawshooter pointed out that he was on a marketing directory of paid influencers. Which sort of reinforces the whole point of what I am saying about YouTube and marketing doesn't it. You are ok to think whatever. I don't think it is aggressive but it is subliminal shilling. The internet should not be a big shill platform in my view. They dominate in their role actually. At our expense. The Internet is user generated and interactive. It is actually up to us to make good content ourselves, and not just to surf for it. Are you suggesting I will sell out eventually? It is not just a business. Exactly You have only seen one post. I don't have to justify the 4th time I tell somebody to leave the community. 1 ban should be enough. If they rejoin again and again afterwards it doesn't matter what they post, they're almost always coming back with a vengeance towards the site owner and they're not welcome any more. Is this in any way difficult to understand?

He was banned before twice and rejoined a third time to troll this topic. You think that's ok?

Here in my opinion is how Olympus went wrong. A) Produced cameras which tended to do better in Asian markets. Did not focus on a more global picture. B) Ignored video users. It wasn't until 2016 that they even had a 4K mirrorless camera of interest to us, and then they did very little to capitalise on it. C) No progression to full frame Olympus system. It isn't that the Micro Four Thirds size sensor is to blame, even though most of the market is APS-C and Full Frame. Had Olympus stuck to DSLR bodies with a Four Thirds sensor and no mirrorless mount, we'd have probably had seen them leave the camera market 8 years ago! Olympus did very well with Micro Four Thirds but since the A7 III especially, full frame alternatives presented a very strong front particularly in the latter half of the decade due to falling prices. D) Mid-range Olympus lenses far too expensive E) In common with many other companies there's a complete failure to understand the connected devices and social media age, or online services and software apps. Let alone implement any of these aspects well. F) Lack of significant specs upgrade since E-M1 II. Reusing the same sensor in subsequent models and ageing LSI. G) Lack of total commitment and significant investment H) Lack of home-grown Olympus technology exclusives such as their own sensors or innovative parts, with exception of IBIS I) Marketing errors. Not being on the ball. Not reading the forums and relevant blogs.

The IR article you mean. Here we go. How about not making it about me in every topic? What's your opinion on the PR and sales industry? Good or bad? Does it help the camera industry or subvert the culture of the internet?

What does that mean?

Are you saying glossy camera reviews with a strong lifestyle element don't sell cameras? Philip Bloom is besides the point. You should learn to understand facts.

It sounds like you'd be better looking at Nikon Z6 with Fringer EF adapter. It's practically an EOS R6 for autofocus and 4K recording... But dead cheap. Other than that, C200, C500 II, might be options? I did It's just that nobody watched or read it Most Canon users live in a state of constant denial.

That's another reason why it would be great to have a modern S35 2.5K or 2.8K sensor... 240fps without a crop or pixel binning... in BRAW. They really missed a trick going straight from 1080p to 4K. In fact the entire industry did! Not everybody needs 4K, even now. What we DO need is a cinematic image better than 1080p. When 8K comes with the EOS R5, it'll be interesting to see if people are still using it after 1 week.

Rather than go full frame as has been rumoured (let alone 8K), I think Blackmagic should bring back the old BMCC 2.5K sensor for a $999 model and do an updated Pocket 6K with same S35 sensor, but mirrorless L-mount or E-mount. Then they should go to work on the body and make a proper camera, not a potato, and sell for $2000. Minimum standard: Build quality to at least Panasonic GH5 or X-T4 level Large built in EVF like the competition Fully articulated screen, even if they have to make it smaller IBIS would be ideal Fix the battery life. it's completely unacceptable on the single Canon battery PDAF would be nice Then we have all the makings of a giant killer.
