Presumably pairing it with a Ninja Blade would avoid that problem. Because the 20 minute limit is for the internal recording.

Let's call it a purple vignette. Purple fringing is something else, to do with lenses.   The purple vignette I've not had yet, how long was the camera running for when it happened?

Downloaded the original 4K file and it's looking good.     More from Philip here - http://philipbloom.net/2014/09/29/gopro4/

Already have it in Canon mount. Damned annoying.   Situation would be a lot more simple if Canon would just give us a body that was actually better than the last one for video. After 3 years you'd kind of expect them to do that.

  I have a lot of Canon IS lenses that I can't use on the Nikon, and can't afford to replace all of these with Nikon VR lenses. That's what I meant in the article when I say I will miss Canon's stabilisation as opposed to no-stablisation on my Nikon glass.

Depends more on encoding quality than bitrate.   Compare Fuji's codec to the C100. On the Fuji X-T1 it is 36Mbit/s and on C100 it is 24. Nobody will find the Fuji codec holds up in the same way.   Noise and blocking in shadows is introduced by a bad encoder. Wise maths with 24Mbit/s is better than dumb maths at 48Mbit/s!

  It's flat but strongly saturated. On this shoot I didn't have contrast dialled down all the way. You can go even flatter if you want to. I've yet to see if that's an advantage or not but with the lows being so cleanly rendered by the new Nikon codec and the sensor output being so smooth, it really does have a chance to break the 12-13 stop mark for dynamic range in video mode.

No filtration, it was slow-mo so needed the higher shutter speed anyway and wanted to shoot it pure to gauge what the camera was doing.

  Leica R 50mm F1.4 converted to Nikon mount.

So custom white balance and turning saturation all the way down in camera might be a solution for the A7S then?   It remains to be seen how the D750 handles it but the codec is just so clean... colour is lovely from the new flat profile once you apply your own curve in post. I also like to lift the blacks and when I do that there's no noise or banding. It's very nice.

Filmmakers have been waiting a long time for a top-performing Nikon full frame FX DSLR for video. Is the D750 the one we've been waiting for? Read the full article here

Good video to show the problem with.   I've always had similar issues with bright blue lights on Sony cameras. FS700 has it too and that's $8k. It needs to be fixed.

Tried it, yeah works through the viewfinder but is kaput in live-view.   Looks like a bug!

I think this thread should now be left to the input of other users. If there's enough interest from them to see it gravitate to the top of the forum daily then it should stay, and if not then it should sink.   John, please refrain from bumping it up on a daily basis.

Manual focus or AF?

  I'm afraid I agree with my readers on this John. What seems to be going on here isn't really fair. The selling "rules" are not a set of laws to be enforced by mods, they're meant as a general guideline to staying safe and as a disclaimer. Also your bad relationship with some of the other mods isn't sustainable. I'm afraid from now on you will no longer have moderator rights on the forum John. Sorry.   I am sure you can appreciate my position here. I feel you are abusing your power as a moderator to sell your stuff and censor competitors and this is just not acceptable. Way too many complaints for you to stay as a mod.

Nope. Only difference is it doesn't hunt when it snaps onto focus, but it snaps on a lot slower than the best contrast detect AF and is hopeless in low light.   What are you hoping to use it for? If it is casual holiday snap shot video time, then fine it works well. If it is filmmaking, then no, you need MF. And if it is stills forget it, just look through the optical viewfinder instead.

What on earth is this thread but a total waste of everybody's time. Pathetic LAfilm.

  Does it? Big shortfall in image quality for video to the Nikon D5300, not to mention the others.   And dual pixel AF is too slow for stills, too unreliable for filmmaking.   But apart from that... yeah... wow... amazing. etc.

I have a D750 to test so will put it through its paces on the blog this weekend.   Looks good so far. Flat picture profile offers pretty impressive dynamic range and there's very little weirdness coming from the sensor. At least as clean as D5300 but seems less soft.

Yes some side to side test needs to be done to see which is better.   That's why you need a site like EOSHD.   Unfortunately nobody at Nikon have bothered sending me the cameras. From my files I shot in Cologne and at a shop, they do look very similar but the D750 looks a bit better in low light.

In that same DPReview interview Maeda San claimed WiFi wasn't possible because of the construction of the 7D Mark II's chassis. What's it made of, lead?   The D750 has a carbon fibre chassis and built in WiFi. More expensive to produce.   Excuses are bad enough, but if you have to lie to your customers in forming such excuses, it's doubly bad.   I was told by Canon when the 5D Mark III came out that it lacked full 1080p HDMI because the hardware wasn't capable of it, then along it came later in a firmware update, so I know they lie to their customers. I have seen it for myself.

  Good stuff creatively there.   Agree DR does look good. Didn't see any nasties like moire either.

They either give us what we want at the price we want, like Sony and Panasonic and Blackmagic are doing, or the get zero. Better to get a bit than to get nothing at all.

Shot with both at Photokina and have the original files on my card if anyone wants them, I might upload.   D750 and D810 were too similar to tell apart without a proper shoot and more time with them.
