Yes I agree 100% but the problem is - they spent $400 million on making and marketing it as fodder for the masses. Grossly overrated the reach and popularity of the source material. The budget of the film was $155 million after tax rebates and other stuff. The marketing effort was HUGE. They better hope the long term outlook is good for it... I think it will be... It'll stand up well in 5, 10, 20 years.

First camera to reach 100 mark at DXOMark https://www.dxomark.com/nikon-d850-sensor-review-first-dslr-hit-100-points/

http://deadline.com/2017/10/ryan-gosling-blade-runner-2049-harrison-ford-opening-weekend-box-office-1202183063/ I've just seen it. Definitely not a fast paced action film. It's slow, brooding and very very tense. Roger's cinematography is his best work ever, and he'll get a Oscar for it. So many deft touches and changes mid scene to serve the story. It's a stunning looking film. Dennis Villeneuve slowed down the pace, focussed on a study of the characters above everything else. I'm still not 100% a Villeneuve fan but this is far more entertaining than Arrival. I am more impressed with the story and screenplay... It has many good ideas. Some genuinely original and untried. I think it will stand up to repeat viewings, it has the depth to go down as a bit of a modern classic. I just wish I was more a fan of the overall cinema experience of people munching stinking nachos in your fucking ear whilst talking constantly. (To be fair this isn't as common in Berlin as some other places but I lucked out and got to sit next to a dirty old corporation man on a date with his 18 year old intern)

Someone needs to explain that test from Tony I guess. The D850 has 3 auto white balance modes - 1. Keep absolute white 2. Normal 3. Keep warm ambient cast The A7R II in the test is shifted to the usual Sony zombie yellow with poor skin tones and warm whites are neither true white or orange - they are yellow! This is exactly what EOSHD Pro Color sets out to fix - and does. Don't use the default Standard Sony colour!! The GH5 in the test is under exposed or some other issue. It is doing a good job of getting the ambient temperature of the light in that room though, whereas the Nikon appears to be set to the first auto WB mode. This stuff should be mentioned at the very start of the test and the different options cycled through in the test as well... Otherwise people think it's a performance issue. It's not. It's a setup issue.

Of course there's the "i" and "info" buttons and you can cycle display modes but none of the cycles remove the filename stamp during recording or the clip time remaining counter unfortunately. Why aren't Nikon testers picking up on stuff like this... Oh I forgot they are all "yes men"

I think you will love it As a stills camera foremost it's amazing. The new additions like silent shutter & articulated screen are great for stealthy street photos. For video it's all I really need... amazing full frame 4K in a compact body, even smaller than 1D C... With Nikon colours. ISO 64 is like a digital ND filter. Can shoot in daylight at 1/50 at F4 and still get as much shallow DOF as a Micro Four Thirds lens at F2 Overcast day mind you... In the sun you still need NDs or high shutter speeds. But it's a nice bonus!

Nope. Only the Sony cameras allow this. Not even the Panasonic GH5 lets you do it.

Ah yes forgot about the Tamrons. And the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 has OS too.

The guide comes with it, when you buy it. The USB cable goes in the USB port of your camera to connect it to your computer. You can't load picture profiles onto the SD card and do it like that, has to go through Canon's software. It's very simple, you will do it. Just read the guide and the camera manual.

I've made sure the fav-icon is back and tested to see if it works. It does! So if you update your forum bookmark it should show. Make sure the URL is https://www.eoshd.com/comments/forum/4-eoshd/

Producing your own content is a good long term business model because years later when the repeats air on other stations, you can earn a lot from the syndication fees. Once Stranger Things is old and no longer attracts new customers to Netflix it will be on cable and other streaming services and Netflix will get paid for every view.

The other camera with this Kodak super 16 sensor was the Ikonoskop A good place to find them used is here - http://www.rawcinemashop.com/used-gear-market-place/ Might be worth looking for some on eBay as the prices may have come down quite a lot. https://www.eoshd.com/2012/11/ikonoskop-a-cam-dll-vs-blackmagic-cinema-camera-first-impressions/ The Digital Bolex and Ikonoskop look was one of the most unique I've ever seen from any digital camera. Limitations and all - all part of how special it looks. https://www.eoshd.com/2013/03/ikonoskop-a-cam-dll-versus-blackmagic-cinema-camera/

Yes the big 2.0 is now out

How's your experience with EOSHD at the moment? All ok for speed, responsiveness and do you ever find it offline?

Yes perfect for that. Yes, the guide included explains everything.

There will always be bargains out there. Go and grab them, not moan

The preview shouldn't have a slow refresh rate or low quality in this mode, so something is up... Try turning global draw off It's full frame you want right? So don't enter crop mode for the 3x3 binning HD 60p

I really think it's more like a hardware limit. You need hardware acceleration for 10bit H.264 and H.265. It's silicon, not software. If you don't feel like you got what you paid for on the G85 and GX85, then I'm amazedballs. They really do go beyond the specs you'd expect for the price. Any closer to the GH5 and what would be the point of ponying up $2000 for it? Making the G85 any better would kill the GH5 stone dead and nobody wants that to happen. Sensor readout speed isn't fast enough. It's not just the processor. Again it's not just software. The sensor has to be fast enough to scan for CDAF at over 240fps. If they gave users the option to buy V-LOG for an extra $100 on a $500 camera, they would lose $1500 not gain $100. I'm all for generosity, and Panasonic are much more generous than Canon. You could argue that Sony having S-LOG on their consumers cameras gives them a bad reputation because a lot of consumers don't know how to grade it properly and it ends up all over the internet making people think Sony cameras shoot weird looking video. You don't expect 1st class service when you buy an economy ticket on a flight though do you? So why expect it with cameras?

What Compact Flash card are you using @tigerbengal?

A glimpse into the future. This will really influence the look of lenses a lot in 10 years. Smartphones were the first! The adjusted stills are a big leap forwards in your examples.

Nice to see some amazing results come in. Will put them on the blog early next week!

Interesting article found via Daring Fireball / John Gruber (well known Apple blogger): ‘The Real Story in This Mess Is Not the Threat That Algorithms Pose to Amazon Shoppers, but the Threat That Algorithms Pose to Journalism’ Maciej Ceglowski, demolishing a “news” story [from reputable Channel 4 News in the UK] that spread around the world claiming that Amazon’s suggestions were helping people make bombs, when in fact they were helping people conduct high school chemistry experiments:

It's a bellows focusing film camera though. The article is about finding the price sweet spot for digital medium format. If you added a half decent Leaf back to the RZ67 you'd still end up past the £3000 point. Hasselblad H3D and Pentax 645D is where it's at.
