Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I wish I didn't have to buy two separate drones just to get the two different camera heads.

I agree they should do 6K H.265. The GH5 6K Photo Mode is the only thing that comes close. I don't really consider it an absolute must-have but I don't understand why the don't seize the marketing-hype opportunity of being the first 6K camera. Not everything has to be tied to TV specs, especially for advanced users. Maybe they are worried about the customer support calls when Mr Average tries 6K H.265 playback on his Chrome Book or wind-up CRT television. By the way I think Fuji are doing a great job. Love the X-H1 and the X-T3 as a photo cam had no reason to be this good at video!! It's lovely for $1500. Let's be grateful it exists. There are a number of Canon engineers who really admire Fujifilm and look up to them. They must be pretty dissatisfied at their management for the EOS R state of affairs. Some insight into Matthew Libatique ASC (Darren Arronofsky's regular DP, Black Swan, etc) promo shoot with the X-T3 https://www.fdtimes.com/2018/09/06/fujifilm-x-t3/

Plot twist... It's not.

HAHA. Hilarious!

The Canon Rumors Kompetition is Kaput?

What's the max buffer capacity in raw?

My Mavic 2 Pro gets very warm. Seems to have an internal fan as well. I think the image processor is in the main chassis of the aircraft rather than the tiny camera head, which is probably just a sensor and nothing else.

EOSHD = Fox News? I think you'll find more facts in one EOSHD review than in a whole year of Fox News.

This is a really good idea. The forum software doesn't have a Ghost feature but it should have it. I had to ban him in the end. Too much BLAH BLAH.

Sorry no. I am not reviewing the tech specs of the HDMI signal in isolation to the rest of the camera. I am as disappointed with the HDMI output as I am with the rest of the camera, because of what comes out of it. The Z7 I am not disappointed about in the least bit, either the HDMI or the internal codec, again because of the END RESULT. I don't care about the HDMI spec in isolation, I care what kind of image I am getting from it. Fact is it is 1.8x crop via HDMI. It is not full frame like the Nikon. Why would I review the HDMI port?! Based on how many pins it has or what bit depth it supports, when there is that massive elephant in the room of the image being 1.8x crop from it? Like I say above, it's not about "That one specific feature". I can say GREAT it's 10bit. What use is that without mentioning it's a 1.8x crop image? That is not how journalism works. You have to give the full picture (pun intended). It's not a dry tech fact-finding mission style blog. EOSHD is partly a personal blog and always has been about my own opinion and use of the cameras. The moment Canon stop being disappointing, I will praise them for it. Although they have generated a massive lack of goodwill with me, there's no bias without justification.

Not to mention we are about to get a new Sony... A7S III most likely. And at IBC Canon is rumoured to have a new XC style piece of cack.

Hmm, not the best test. We will find some others...

On the subject of adapters, the PL adapter is out already before the camera has shipped. I expect an EF adapter to follow just as quickly from China https://www.newsshooter.com/2018/09/06/mtf-services-nikon-z-mount-adapters/ No. I ban people when they are a pain in the fucking arse.

Wasn't the bike test shot in 1080p?

Oh well in that case we should ALL run out and buy it then! The masses are always right! Follow the crowd! I am switching to iMovie immediately and buying Canon stock. Anything that helps me shoot more cinematic footage, huh?! The perfect combo for the most stupid era of human history.

Yet!

It's not the same feature though, is it Mr Ignore The Crop Factor. On the Nikon it is full frame 10bit out. On the Canon it is crippled 1.8x crop 10bit out. So on the Nikon it is a bonus feature, I personally, won't be using it. Like I said in the article. And on the Canon it is a pointless waste of everybody's time, just like the internal recording. You shouldn't make so many excuses for it. You can use the beloved Sigma F1.8 on any APS-C camera or in S35 crop mode on the full frame Sonys. It is designed for 1.5x crop not 1.8x by the way.

I am pretty sure I already banned the guy behind the name and he just keeps coming back, like a weed.

Similar sensor to the D850 and it's not a full pixel readout (of 46MP!!) I would expect rolling shutter to be fine, as it is on the D850. I rarely have an issue with it. It's not 12ms like a GH5 or Alexa but somewhere around 20ms. So not A6500 or NX1 30ms territory where it begins to be more noticeable.

Do you want to be banned? Heading the right way. You're an irritant. What does 10bit HDMI have anything to do with anything? I am talking about the superb internal Nikon colour and codec. I couldn't give a crap about hooking up an HDMI recorder just for 10bit, you can barely tell the difference in quality anyway. I have a lot of interesting lenses to use on it. Nikon F mount ones. Sigma ones. PL. There will be adapters to all sorts. You are a jealous Canon fanboy and an idiot of the first order. Let's vote on it. Should MdB get the boot? He's obviously trolling now. Every day. I am sick of reading this shit and it cluttering up every thread!

What year is it, 2009? Shooting 1080p as a "work-around"? We have plenty of choice for full frame 4K. A7S II, A7R II, A7 III, A7R III, Z6, Z7, D850 and soon A7S III / Panasonic full frame. You buy a full frame camera to shoot full frame stills and full frame video that looks the same as the stills. It's HYBRID camera. If you want to shoot 1.8x crop, get a GH5S or a GH5. You'll have money left over for the EF Speed Booster. I really don't understand why people are making apologies for such a shit spec.

Of all the new stuff, the Z7 is the one I am leaning towards buying. The full frame 4K looks like D850++ And that already looked like a 1D C. VERY cinematic. It has superb colour. Nikon's colour science is just as good as Canon's, maybe even a bit better. Great dynamic range. Flat profile and now they have LOG as well. You only have to see some of the early sample videos to see how nice the skin tones are. I don't see any softness, moire, aliasing or rolling shutter issues in the sample videos. I am sure Z6 is fine as well but maybe 1080/120p is better on the Z7. Nikon's codec implementation is superb. Has been since the D750. Now it is high-bitrate 4K. A total winner. I like the look of the ergonomics (and colour science) more than my Sony bodies. I expect MdB will reply next saying why you should buy a shitty EOS R instead, haha. I only have one concern and that is the AF via Nikon F adapter. The native lenses are a bit boring for the price. It clearly has great video AF with those Z lenses but if it has great video AF with Nikon F lenses as well, I am sold, because I already have a bunch of those including Sigma ART.

No it wouldn't. The raw frame buffer is the same sensor area as the stock compressed H.264 1080p. You don't get full-width 1080p from a cropped frame buffer. It is pixel binned though.

I think the problem is user-related than ML They got 3.5K RAW out of the 2012 5D Mark III, and the response on here was pretty underwhelming. I wrote a big guide about how to get it working, and again, not much interest. The original raw video ML on the 5D III got a LOT more interest. So I suggest, people should be more excited about this stuff than they actually are. Have we become spoilt? Have we just got lazy? I don't understand why more of you aren't making use of that incredible 3.5K image.

C100 is Super 35. That is a 1.5x crop. Canon APS-C is 1.6x crop. Small difference but they are not the same. 4K on the EOS R is 1.8x crop. That is starting to become a big difference. It is nowhere near the C100's FOV. Sure, but we are talking about compared to what? A really old, obsolete camcorder. Calling it 4K APS-C 10bit is a bit generous, when it is actually 1.8x and you need a wobbly HDMI cable and even wobblier recorder brick on the end of an arm and cage, to get at the 10bit The Nikon Z7 compares very favorably to Canon's image (LOG, colour, etc.). Better in fact, because it's full frame 4K. And I don't see any issue with the ergonomics on it either. Very easy to use. I agree NDs are important. More people should copy that EOS R ND adapter. I am sure there will be third party ones with E and Z mount.
