  1. Ad payouts are pretty much all these early rushed out shitty reviews are done for.
  2. The motion issues you guys are talking about seem to have more to do with the shutter speed than the camera. The Mongolia video is lovely but a lot of it looks to be shot at a high shutter speed without NDs Try 1/50 and see if things improve. If not then we should investigate more what is going on. MJPEG and RAW on Canon DSLRs are ALL-I codecs, but it's unlikely to be a LONG GOP issue because the D750 is that and apparently looks fine.
  3. The channel is confirmed fake actually.
  4. DJI have updated their consumer Phantom drone today, which will be priced at $1400. It contains some serious AI. Read the full article
  5. I think Samsung will reassess too. Sony has shown the way with their sales figures for the full frame mirrorless cameras. APS-C is not where it's at. Samsung should return with a full frame mirrorless camera and that requires a completely different set of lenses.
  6. X-Pro 2 4K - 80% said they don't need it, so Fuji didn't flick the switch in firmware. They ask a bunch of hardcore stills people if they want video and surprise surprise most of them don't. How are Fujifilm supposed to expand their customer base with new people if the keep asking their existing ones what they want? This is why camera companies keep serving up the same-old same-old every year... they never reach out new markets, because they only listen to the needs of their existing one.
  7. According to an interview at CP+ conducted with Focus Numerique (in French), Fujifilm are waiting until the release of the X-T2 to add 4K video - but it IS coming. Read the full article
  8. Are you using the colour temperature matched S-Gamut colour modes on the FS5? That's probably the solution. The A7S II doesn't have these.
  9. Friday 7am London time sees the release of a firmware update for the Sony FS5 which optimises the performance of internal recording, fixing the issues spotted by early adopters of the camera including myself (Andrew Reid) and Paul Antico. Read the full article

    Well not the sensor, it's a Sony. The OLED will be either LG or Samsung I think. And it isn't a mirrorless camera, it is fixed lens. Nice try

    Wonder if this will finally force Canon to get their act together?

    Nikon DL

    Nikon state 45 min battery life when recording video on the smaller DLs. Better carry some spares They shoot 30p and 25p. http://www.eoshd.com/2016/02/nikon-launch-affordable-super-16mm-4k-cameras-with-fast-lenses-starting-at-649/ No mention of 24p, which is odd. DL24-85 has built in ND filter. Not sure about the ultra wide 18-50?
  13. According to Japanese news outlet Nikkan the Panasonic GH5 will get a resolution bump to approximately 20MP, with 18MP stills pulled from the 6K video mode in 16:9 aspect ratio. 4K at higher frame rates such as 60p, likely with a crop of the sensor is rumoured to be possible.

  14. Early adopters have put the Sony A6300 image quality and autofocus to the test - the results are incredible (see below). Could Sony have achieved something very special with their combination of 6K sensor readout and 425 phase detect points? Read the main post
  15. Some good tests there. Have to say both the image and AF look stunning... And very little hint of rolling shutter on the street pans.
  16. Hardly think Blackmagic Pocket Camera price or release date was too much affected by the screen they put in it. Stripping down the Micro, based around same sensor, probably pays for the redesign and faster processor for 60fps.
  17. I love what Sigma are doing and am excited for the 50-100 F1.8 which I am sure will be mega sharp But a Speed Booster solution is definitely better value for money. The XL on Micro Four Thirds for instance is a 0.64x so an F2.8 lens will be F1.8. The E-mount Speed Booster will make F2.8 a F2.0 The Tokina zoom mentioned earlier or the Sigma 50-150mm F2.8 II EX DC APO for APS-C would be the ones to go for. I have the Sigma, it's great.
  18. Nice to see you here Phil! Loved the film.
  19. I think the most forgettable upgrades have been to the Rebel series actually... they make the 80D look like a quantum leap! 600D through 650D, 700D, was embarrassing. It looked like the only feature they added was lower manufacturing cost and at one point a grip material that turned white. Yet the sheep kept buying I assume.
  20. Someone please tell my why a power zoom would adjust focus It doesn't have a focus rocker on it, only a power zoom rocker... Something that should be on the lens for free anyway, like with all the other power zoom lenses from Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, etc. Canon saw yet another money spinning opportunity to charge us for a zoom rocker. Pathetic.
  21. My opinion: http://www.eoshd.com/2016/02/canon-80d-chicken-feed-at-the-mirrorless-banquet/
  22. That's very speculative about the 4K 60fps. Hardly think Sony is protecting the FS7. As an FS5 owner and A7S II owner I can say the consumer line already comes dangerously close to the point of toppling the image quality of their pro cameras. The A6300 is far better than the NX500. No sensor crop. LOG. Likely better low light. 6K readout. Speed Booster. I think it will outperform the NX1 or be very similar, let's wait and see... Not long now.
