Most importantly has it got animal eye AF and a food mode?

ALEXA-35 Looks nice. Built in ND filter and a smaller RED / ALEXA MINI form factor. Will be interesting to see how the new sensor holds up. 17+ stops dynamic range! https://www.eoshd.com/news/new-arri-alexa-leaks-dubbed-alexa-35-17-stops-dynamic-range-and-4k-120fps/

Fair play to Canon on this one, hadn't expected a semi-pro APS-C camera. The 7D has a proper successor now. Wonder how the image will compare to a C70. I am not expecting miracles but for the price, it might tempt a lot of filmmakers in the way the Fuji cameras do. X-T4 just got a big rival. Now we have R5,6,7 and 3, all that remains is the R1... But I am wondering if they might give us a cheaper EOS R7C as well.

So 100% trust in the clickbait weasels after the R5 debacle then I see!

Decided to get a proper RAW cine camera. It was between RED and Blackmagic. The RED seems to have more mojo, especially the older EPIC and Scarlet. I am also trying a RAVEN out. The older REDs are not expensive now. Paid £1790 for an EPIC-X, with 5K 120fps RAW. But when building it out, that's when the costs start rising. But for under $3500 you can definitely get a good kit. It's about the dynamic range and RED raw for me. The colour science is also very nice.

43rumors run any old bullshit. Turns out battery is entirely different! I am sure the stacked sensor is Sony manufactured and the EVF probably a Sony panel. But beyond that seems OM Digital has custom LSI & firmware, plus many of their own parts. Camera is assembled in Vietnam.

After a little more testing it is apparent that the phase-detect AF is flat out amazing for video on the OM-1. Really nothing like the GH6. Really natural movement to handheld shots with the IBIS as well. Especially as you can tune it. High setting for a locked down shot and -1 when you want more fluid movement. Just trying to figure out of the battery is identical to the one in my Sony A7 IV. Feels like there is a LOT of Sony about the OM-1. Feels like a buy-out by proxy!

So far I get sense it is working at the Sony level, and much better than GH6. I've not gone deep into it, but AF features are many many pages in the menus. Such a mistake for Panasonic not to have this but OM-System does. Can't seem to find an ALL-I codec mode though anywhere.

I did indeed manage to pick one up from Camarthan Cameras in Wales! Only retailer in entire UK to have a couple of units. Glad I did though as the camera is a miracle in itself. Punches well above expectations. I am only scratching the surface compared to you Simon, but will get to know it better in coming days. Brought it to Berlin with me. Not even shot any C4K with it yet but in UHD I did play with it a bit and love that you can punch in 1.4x in the middle of a shot with little to no loss in detail. No need to stop recording, you can just punch in and out on the fly. The IBIS was out of this world brilliant. 1 second handheld photo PIN SHARP The menus and ergonomics are in top 1% of all cameras. Love the way it feels to use and that they didn't go crazy abandoning the small size advantage with fans and stuff. I have GH6 with me as well so will be interesting to compare the two. They are very different. GH6 has the edge for high frame rates and overall video specs. OM-1 has a significant advantage in terms of size, weight, ergonomics, stills features and a few unique abilities in video mode as well. The EVF on the OM-1 is superior to the GH6. Out of this world big and immersive, especially impressive for such a small body. Can confirm the lovely Olympus colours are still present and correct!

Yes should work fine on the Z6 II. All recording formats, yep.

Try it in HDR mode, it greatly reduces it.

I also believe there is a difference between criticism and trolling. I relish a good argument and in collaborations, a difference of opinion can drive the ideas forward. On the internet, this rarely happens and you mainly get low quality input, with a nice pre-existing bias or personal grudge on top. So when it comes to collaboration it is always best to do it in same room as the other people.

Yes it is compatible. The guide that comes with Pro Color will tell you how to set it up. Cheers!

Who is up for helping me write a movie? Part 1 - Taking inspiration from Paul Schrader and Taxi Driver https://www.eoshd.com/news/help-me-write-a-movie-part-1-taking-inspiration-from-paul-schrader-taxi-driver/ Also explains the future of EOSHD and how things will change to cover movies instead of pixel peeping. Any suggestions, comments, welcome...

Thanks for contributing. This stuff is proper rare these days.

Hope he doesn't get any interference on the line.

No that's only for Poltergeist Detect mode.

Blimey blog posts were a lot shorter back then! Not as short as a social media post, but not a book either. Fond memories.

Had the opportunity to interview Masanori Koyama, product planner for the GH6 and S1H: https://www.eoshd.com/news/interview-with-panasonics-masanori-koyama-product-planner-for-the-gh6/ Hope you enjoy.

Steve's spirit box app should have a sponsor like Kessler and accompanying pocket dolly. Until it all goes wrong, the spirit jokes about his balding head and he ends up smacking the ghost in the mouth Will Smith style.

They will need to rotate the James Webb Telescope 180 degrees and point it back at earth to spot those.

Max Tech pivoted from cameras to phones. Steve went Skyping with ghosts Top video has 11 million plays. So the question for EOSHD is, what should I pivot to now... Special lenses that can spot elven spirits in the woods?

Turns out we've been wasting our time with Wifi apps for the EOS R5. This one is number 88 in the Utilities chart on Apple App Store Only has 2.7 rating however and the developer's name is all lower case "chris rogers" which is always a bad sign.

It was sponsored by a massive Crypto dot com ad as well.... Which is ironic considering crypto's deep involvement in money laundering, illegal activity, mafia states and governments, they are basically Putin's best friend.
