I've had this, but it happens VERY rarely and disappears quickly. Probably a firmware bug.

What do you tell those clients to whom you deliver the images then, when they want 4K and 120fps?

Glad you got a 1D C as well. This is going to be interesting...

In decent light and with a human subject, you'll be surprised at how close the X Pro2 and C100's images are. Ergonomics wise, of course the C100 can do longer takes, massive battery life, easier to manually focus, a tad easier to expose with zebra, waveform, etc... but the X Pro2 is smaller, lighter, more simple, more direct, and has a MUCH better EVF. So again it's not quite so simple as writing one off because it is mainly a photo camera. Biggest difference is on the audio side... Obviously if professional onboard audio and XLR is a priority then C100 is going to give you that.

The 5m limit would work brilliantly. If Nikon has chosen to limit the D5 to 3 min (or is it longer now?) then it won't harm Fujifilm's reputation a jot to limit the X Pro2 to 5 min and stop it from being used by people who need 2 hour takes for live event shooting. Sony's mistake was to not mention a sizeable limitation and allow such long continuous recording times. What do they expect to happen? You will get people like me taking it to shoot a 5 hour recording session for a band, that's what...

Very nice Ebrahim. Silky smooth and so film like. So you're not shooting Canon LOG?

Leica are really going to after pro video shooters with the SL. Meanwhile RED are persuading medium format photographers to use a 6K Dragon or Weapon. A gap in the space/time continuum captain?! Step forward the next specialised tool to turn camera-chameleon: the Fuji X Pro2. Read the full review on EOSHD here

Yes, massive difference. No the SDI is 8bit. HDMI 10bit 4:2:2 though A7S2 has crap AF. FS5 a bit better. Neither as good as A6300 or C100 Mark II.

It's great. I shot all of this in 120fps and the long continuous takes really help in the edit, much better than the 240fps cache record and buffering mode. Add to that the F1.8 lens really helps in low-light and you have a great run & gun camera.

Yes it does crop. Not hugely, but certainly noticeably. I'd say if 1.5x is the full Super 35mm sensor compared to full frame, then it will bump it to 1.8 maybe 2x in 120fps. Just have a Speed Booster handy for wides. PS... I still love the RX100 IV for 120fps. Still the best detail in 1080/120fps yet. A7S II and A6300 both softer.

That's great news.

You really like your Rebel don't you? The hybrid wouldn't be a 4K Rebel. Not unless a 600D ever had in-body 5 axis stabilisation, mirrorless lens mount, built in EVF, 120fps slow-mo, Speed Booster compatibility, proper LOG function (CineStyle isn't) and a form factor less resembling a 1970's camera and more in line with modern manufacturing in 2016. I do think they tested it. Problem is the felt it was ok for the user they're aiming at with it. It's not. NX1 doesn't over heat. GH4 doesn't have this kind of severe rolling shutter. Both can be had cheaper. But there's still a lot to like about the A6300.

Nice work! Interesting it has 3D settings in there, probably left out in the final camera.

It's interesting. I avoided shooting SLOG this time. Went for Cine4 and graded with FilmConvert, Kodak, A7S II profile. Colour definitely seems nice.

Welcome to my rolling review of the Sony A6300. Like the rolling shutter of the A6300 this review takes a long time to get from the top to the bottom so grab a hot drink (be careful not to overheat) and enjoy the ride... Read the full review on EOSHD here

The Canon C300 Mark II appears to have faulty firmware, which will need a fix for it to be bullet-proof on a shoot. Bright highlights burn to black in certain situations (such as car headlights). Read the full blog post here

Erm, no. You're better off shooting 1080p or even 720p. Just wait for it to improve (if that is possible) or see what interesting things can be done with the 4K/1080p.

If anyone else wants to test it, here's the shell files from my card Just unzip, put all the files on the root of your card and start the camera, hit video record (ignore the menus, they won't change to say 2.5k). Also please check out Otto's readme so you can easily understand what the shell files are doing and how they link together https://github.com/ottokiksmaler/nx500_nx1_modding/blob/master/README.md nx500-2-5k-patch.zip

Let's tease out and document the full functionality of the prefman tool, what settings it can change and how... https://github.com/ottokiksmaler/nx500_nx1_modding/blob/master/Prefman_tool.md

Yes huge thanks to Otto, amazing work. I wonder if the Magic Lantern guys might want to collaborate with him on it?

I see the NX1 and NX500 have an MJPEG codec, but it's only used for the 640x480 recording mode. But the codec is there, right? Maybe we could persuade it to record at a higher resolution and bitrate in 4:2:2 like the Canon 1D C. (Ok, wild leap there, but any improvement would be an interesting discovery). Also the silent shutter, in this mode it does raw from a rolling shutter scan of the sensor, just like a video mode... the raw data must be lurking in the buffer somewhere whilst it runs in video mode... now what we need is a genius to dive in a grab it

I've tried it. It's very early days with this mode I think. The quality is just not there yet, very highly compressed and soft. Once new settings are discovered I am sure it will improve! The 2.5K Samsung originally had on the pre-production model was pretty good quality and the setting must be lurking in there somewhere.

Tim Smith says we should expect to see "low cost, high quality offerings", plus a "surprise" from Canon themselves at the show, which starts April 16th 2016. Read the blog post here

He can have it

Oh yeah! Who can forget THAT!?
