Really? I thought they were both the same x86 and x64 architecture. As far as I know a Hackintosh can use an AMD CPU.

RAWis correct.

If you are reading this PR people... IMAGINE THE MARGINS!!! GOLLDDDD

It's definitely possible, so where is it? Read the full post here

Not with the latest firmware.

Nice rendering and it has the gentle focus roll off to the background that is very medium format-like, whereas at a fast aperture on full frame that background would be completely creamed out with no detail.

I am mega looking forward to how this turns out. Also there are some fast optics for medium format at F2, bucking the usual trend for F2.8 and F4, which should look amazing on full frame. But it isn't all about shallow DOF - lots of other benefits with the way the focus rolls off and how much depth you get to play with in your composition, the three dimensionality of it. The image circle you get from this adapter is enormous... larger than the Sony 50MP sensor in the Fuji GFX, Hasselblad X1D and Pentax 645Z. My take - http://www.eoshd.com/2017/02/sony-a7r-ii-a7s-ii-go-medium-format/

Shame I was out of town when you were in town Ed. A friend had a film in the festival, and I also missed that! He shot it on the 5D Mark II with Magic Lantern RAW... apparently looked just like film on the big screen. If anything, the small screen is more critical as you're sat so close to every pixel. What did you think to Berlin? Weird isn't it?

Apple's recent moves have been questionable indeed... The travel on the keyboard of the new Macbook Pro is awful, way less comfortable than before, for the sake of shaving 1mm off the thickness of the chassis. The graphics are under-powered vs a Razor and Intel have stagnated badly, but the improved screen and new touch-bar are fantastic upgrades. Overall nothing beats the design for build quality, style, thinness.... only on functionality. The missing SD card slot is stupid. The move to USB-C all at once - I can see why they want to push the industry to dump all the legacy ports and standardise around a truly universal jack, but it's very painful for users in the short-term. And the pricing is ridiculous... But you do get much better in-store support for 1 year than you would do with a PC. I see your point but... It does depend on the Razer you get... The GTX 1080 would surely have an Intel graphics chip to fall back on when it comes to real-world usage of standard every day tasks and if you are editing video you'd more than likely have it plugged into the wall... As you would a Macbook Pro as that would chew through the battery in less than 2 hours as well if doing intensive tasks as well. Maybe the SD card slot won't be more convenient after all

I was a Windows user for 10 years. Mid-20's, I just wanted to start getting on with what I use a computer for, rather than nurturing and babysitting a powerful OS and set of customisable options, custom hardware, etc. So far last 10 years I have been on OS X. The simplicity of Mac OS doesn't mean it's any less powerful than Windows, quite the opposite - much better memory management, less legacy code, better optimisation, better drivers and newer architecture all-round. The UX is more consistent and the presentation is less flakey. Across all apps, the user interface is familiar, similar and refined. Across all apps in Windows - BAM different every time. Windows slows down and starts getting unreliable after 6 months and you need to Google constant issues. Eventually it needs a re-install every year, whereas Mac OS will run for 5 years and be as fast at the end of it as it was at the start. The UNIX OS is it is based on is a fundamentally more optimised, minimalist piece of code than bloated Windows. You see it in Windows 10 - you have the new control panel interface, but the old one is still there under the hood and you can open that too. Also I fail to see what extra features Windows 10 actually offers over Mac OS to make it compelling... Aside from the Surface Pro tablets, which I've tried too and ended up returning eventually because touch on a desktop OS isn't all the way there yet in terms of how useful it is long-term for serious work... It is quicker for some things but holding a finger to the screen for hours of creative work is actually much more tiring than using a plain old mouse and keyboard.

Get a 70D then Already has DPAF and Magic Lantern raw. As of nearly 2 years ago. http://www.eoshd.com/2015/04/magic-lantern-now-working-on-canon-70d-both-versions/ I'd rather they cracked the EOS M5 or M6 anyway, as the mirrorless form factor is better suited to video.

You have to go into stills mode, do single-shot AF-S on your subject then hit the video record button (with 1080/120p set in the menus) Whilst it is recording, AF won't track the subject. I agree with the OP, Sony should try and get phase-detect AF working with 120fps... Can't see why it shouldn't!

I am getting some very good results from the Olympus E-M1 II in low light (Cinema 4K mode). If you avoid under exposing the shot, you can easily go to the max ISO 6400 and have a clean picture, and where noise does occur (only in the darkest areas of the shot) it has a pleasing fine grain. At ISO 3200, the image looks like ISO 400 over well exposed areas of the frame... super saturated and smooth. In the shadows, only a little bit of noise and again a pleasing texture. At ISO 1600, it looks super clean everywhere on a variety of shots. The main difference is not just much less noise compared to the older Micro Four Thirds cameras, it's the amount of detail, fine texture, fine grain and nice colour it captures at these high ISOs, whereas the older cameras de-saturated, became muddy, lost a lot of appeal. All the reviews have shown the RAW stills having same amount of noise as the older E-M1... So it is probably down to a cleaner sensor output in 4K mode and better image processing. The GH5 I am sure will do ISO 6400 no problem as well, it probably even has the same sensor. ISO 3200 (4096 x 2160), click for full res frame grab ISO 6400 1:1 crop of iSO 3200 1:1 crop ISO 6400

I am curious why you think it would be more of a 'perfect' Magic Lantern raw video candidate than the 5D Mark IV or 80D or even EOS M6. There's nothing even unique about the 77D, even within the Canon range. I can't speak for them but Magic Lantern would probably prefer to crack the 5D Mark IV before touching the most uninspired, basic, boring camera on the planet. 77D is practically the same camera as the 80D. I am shocked it even exists. The "5 axis stabilisation" is a con... it is the same old lens IS plus a digital crop, which softens the image even more. I can think of a million other cameras that are more interesting from a technology point of view. It's not even that cheap!

Something is up with that one... No way the GH4 is that clean at ISO 6400. Fake test?

Was the service centre in India an authorised Panasonic one? Doesn't sound like it. Sorry you had such bad luck with the faulty unit! Arikhan You don't have the figures to hand on what Panasonic spends on marketing and what they spend on support. None of us do. So you're speculating. There are always going to be parts of the world that don't have perfect service coverage. Same is true for every single camera manufacturer even Arri.

The 1080p 120fps is nearly as detailed as the A7S at 24p. Better than the D750.

Kodak went out of business. Big name!

Just like with the DL In the time it took Nikon not to bring out the DL, Sony brought out 5 RX100 models.

It seemed like when Nikon released the D750 and D810 they were on a roll and then THUD rolled into a ditch. They have done nothing interesting for 3 years. And between the D5300 and D-whatever they are on now, also nothing interesting. GoPro rival was a joke... Released just as the action cam market was over the hill... Yet to give the whole show to it at Photokina last year smacks of management issues too. Nikon could have entered the cinema market, they have the optics, sensors, everything... They could have gone into high end mirrorless market, the brand is stronger than Sony. Didn't... didn't... didn't. They won't survive like this... They are taking zero risks.

I agree. Edited the title!

Well it wasn't the fault of 8bit that V-LOG was noisy on the GH4. Canon LOG in 8bit on the 1D C is clean as a whistle. The GH5 should be a lot less noisy, it's a new sensor and seemingly a very advanced one. I'd shoot it in 10bit, but it should stand up just fine in 8bit as well for 4K 60p. But we don't know for sure yet as initial testers have been putting uninformative sales pitches out there instead of proper tests.

Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 is an APS-C lens, you are close to vignetting at 1.3x crop with the Speed Booster XL at the wide end. The extra movement of the sensor when the guy moves it crazily left-right reveals the edge of the image circle. Either he moves the camera gently or puts a full frame lens on it. problem solved.

With the GH5 it isn't just the specs, the whole package is much easier to use than a Sony or Canon 6D. Way better ergonomics for video than the Canon. Way better interface and button layout than the Sony, as well as better screen visibility in bright sunlight. The A6500 still has the rolling shutter problems of the A6300, whereas the GH5 has this truly sorted. It's well worth the extra $600 but if you think it is over-specced, you can save money by selling your 6D (which is absolutely crap for video quality) and getting a used Sony A7S instead. It may not have the 10bit, 4K, logical menus, etc. or refined ergonomics of the GH5 but it's only about $200 more than what you can sell your 6D for. Unless you need the 6D for stills (fast AF), get rid.

D750 in 1080/60p is sharper than the A7S in full frame 60p mode. But APS-C mode A7S gives better 1080/60p than almost anything else for the money and you have way more choice of lenses on E-mount than Nikon F-mount. Sadly no Speed Booster Not sure what happened to the custom one on this forum. So this is $999 used... anything cheaper? Cheapest would be a used Panasonic G6... 1.3x crop with Speed Booster and Canon lenses, so nearly full frame. Check out the quality of 1080/60p on the Fuji XT-20 though... and you can put a Nikon mount Speed Booster on it, but not Canon. How about forgetting about 60p altogether and going for a nice 120p RX100 IV if it is slow-mo you're looking for?
