Absolutely +10000 I am going to write a blog about this. Adobe's GH5 support has been completely off-hand. Do you have a Mac to hand? Try EditReady, it's the best $50 I ever spent.

Yeah looking boring so far but remember... it doesn't start proper until Monday. And leaks usually don't start to appear until the day before. However I am not that hopeful for much excitement on the camera side. Sony probably won't come with an A7S 3 just yet... Panasonic probably won't come with much as GH5 still fresh... Canon probably asleep and Nikon probably doesn't even know NAB is on

Believe the random DPR commenter!

Isn't it a hybrid system with phase detect AF points on the sensor and contrast detect too? I don't see how that can compete with Dual Pixel AF. Even if it is faster for single shot AF in stills mode (with Sony's lenses only) - you have far less information from that kind of autofocus system. It won't be as good at object tracking in video mode. The sensor has to run at 24fps which means the read out is too slow to get the AF information off the chip for fast and reliable results. With DPAF every pixel gives AF information to the lens and processor... Millions of them. Sony should move to DPAF.

I will archive your face if you don't shut up

13 = unlucky 4 = death (5D Mark IV)

Do you want to be banned? Going the right way about it.

No picture profiles is a bit of a disaster and shows that they are not aiming at video shooters with this. Seems Sony would much rather we buy a 10bit 4:2:2 A7S 3... With picture profiles. Looks like we will have to hold off on the purchase and wait to see what NAB brings!

Should be better now. My host did a great job. Interest in this camera is huge it seems. 65,000 requests on the server in last hour!

This announcement crashed the website. Sorry about that, looking into it with the host. Anyone else had slow page load times from EOSHD during the last 30 minutes?

Magic Lantern are in the process of porting their 3K/4K modification to the 700D / T5i. Read the full article

I'll be the same as cropping out a 4K box from a Canon RAW still in Photoshop. So the max the sensor can give... around 12 stop and all of it rather nice thanks to 14bit RAW.

Thanks to strong sales of the Sony A7R II and A7S II, Sony has announced a 23% year on year growth in sales to catapult the company into second place on the market. Source: Sony press release

You know which cameras I'm referring to. If you don't like it, use a different forum. In fact I positively encourage it in your case!

If you're wondering why the latest Casey Neistat video does't look like it was shot in Canon mush-o-vision, wonder no more! Read the full article

The DX lens range is very weak. The price of the D7500 is too close to the full frame D750. The D750 is a much better choice for most photographers. The APS-C market is shrinking. It doesn't do video right. There's a huge crop in 4K. The 1080p is 'meh' I just don't see the appeal in the D7500 when you can get a D750 for a bit more money.

Panasonic should think about a merger with Olympus if either of their camera divisions hit severe trouble. Focus on the high end models from now on only. Nikon I fear for more because they are not innovating and seem completely clueless about how to turn things around. They are also the most dependant just on cameras, whereas Panasonic and Olympus have other big presences in medical and consumer goods beyond cameras. Sony's stuff is selling well, no need to fear for them. They will soon over take Nikon and go into second place behind Canon. Fuji I am not sure about... on one hand they have a strong enthusiast following, on the other hand their sales aren't exactly Canon-like and they are quite dependant to the consumer photographic market. I think medium format isn't enough to save them if things keep on deteriorating. Out of everyone, Canon and Leica have the biggest share of the pro market and big big margins. They'll be around for a long time. Even if their products are obsolete in some ways... Canon don't understand apps and services, and Leica don't understand very much outside of their professional photography niche. Rioch seem to be mismanaging Pentax and I can see the Pentax brand being sold. They are definitely the next one in the danger zone, and far more likely to do a 'Samsung' than Panasonic or Olympus.

Another non-starter for video, although as a stills camera I quite like it Nikon seem to have caught Canon-itis. A well known condition where you lose your memory and release the same camera every year with a different badge.

Slow-mo raw shooters can now make use of an improved 2K 60p mode on the 5D Mark III thanks to Magic Lantern. In addition, 1920 x 800 recordings at 60fps are continuous to the card without a frame limit, a feat made possible thanks to new lossless compression. Read the full article

The ALL-I 10bit codec coming in firmware update at 400Mbit/s should be easier on the CPU than the current more complex IPB 150Mbit codec. In the mean time you will need to transcode using EditReady to ProRes. That's what I'm doing. Thankfully it is FAST to process the files. http://www.divergentmedia.com/editready

Yours for only $32,000 + VAT. Bit expensive considering what you can get from RED or Sony for that price.

The M40X are better and cheaper. The M50X are a real screw up. I have no idea why Innerfidelity felt up for putting them on the wall of fame. If you have the budget, the Audeze LCD-X is a stunning listen and amongst the best ever made. Not quite as good as a pair of STAX but you can run them off anything, doesn't even need an amp. Very efficient for planar magnetic. Fostex TH-900 and Beyerdynamic T1 are the other very good high end headphones, I really rate them. I only ever owned one pair of Hifiman cans and it was the lowest end model, but it sounded great - Edition S. The build quality though was pretty poor on that one. Oh and an outsider tip for value for money - Monoprice M560. This is the closest you can get to the planar magnetic wonder of LCD-X at super cheap prices ($200 instead of $2000). And it's nicer IMO than the more expensive $300 model, the M1060. Some of the wireless bluetooth headphones are now doing a good job - Check out the Sony MDR 1000X.

I'm doing a huge shootout of headphones on EOSHD soon. The Sennheiser HD600 are a superb choice even still, and the Audioequest Nighthawk if you prefer a darker sounding set, but less neutral. The accuracy of the HD600 though cannot be disputed even if I prefer other cans for music enjoyment. The best budget option is the Philips SHP9500... Superb, you just cannot get anything better for the price ($60 to $120 depending on region).
