These specs seem over the top. Hmm. Well it's all very strange and we'll find out Monday. Don't shoot the messenger if it turns out badly :) By the way, GH4 is supposed to be getting compressed raw like the BMPCC. Believe it?

Before Jobs rejoined Apple there was the Quicktake. 0.3 megapixels :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_QuickTake

Shot with the FZ1000 today and can say I am very impressed with it. If you can see it, this thing can shoot it and the quality of the images especially in 4K are extremely good! I can go in seconds from a 35mm wide-ish establishing shot, to a close up of a jet in the sky taking off from a Berlin airport miles away. Astonishing versatility and speed of use. Also, the most usable lock-on AF for video I've ever had. Really fast and reliable. Didn't ever need to have it in manual focus so I was shooting lighting quick because of that and no dodgy focus shifts during a clip. The quality of the 120fps is very good too, more so at the long end of the lens on a human subject than at the wide angle with inanimate objects because there's some moire & aliasing like the GH4's slow-mo but again this is also better than I had expected. Attached a frame of the 120fps 1080p.

A sensible suggestion. I'm not happy with the arguing here at all, it's not good for the users and mods are supposed to be looking after the interests of the other users after all.

Sure it is not an early Casio?

Nice deal and not overpriced. Good to see!

Let’s hope the Apple mirrorless camera has more luck!! It’s only a matter of time before Apple reinvent photography. Steve Jobs – much missed.

It is rare to see a less than positive review of a camera online today and rarer still to see tough questions asked of camera companies in interviews. At EOSHD I don't agree the 'yes man' relationship does the camera companies any favours at all. Here are my 10 tough questions for Canon and Nikon at Photokina. I'll be asking product managers in person exactly these on the day. It's important to say that although these are quite cutting questions there's absolutely no malevolent intent behind them. They come from me purely as a filmmaker & photographer who wants to see more innovative products from the big two.

When Nikon do well I have in the past given them top marks, in the D5200 review for instance. Considering it arrived into a barren landscape, before the GH4, the A7S, any kind of affordable 4K, or raw on the 5D Mark III, it was a pretty nice option. Cheap, offering a better alternative to the GH3 in low-light, if not really in many other aspects. The Nikon V1 I was positive about on the blog too. 60fps raw burst at 4K resolution was cutting edge technology, if only they had utilised that Aptina sensor in a more video orientated camera. I just think they could be doing a lot better, so its frustrating not to see their full potential out there on the market and the sales are starting to reflect that. Why would anybody shoot video on a D750 when they can get better performance with the same lenses for the same price on a Sony A7S? I am going to ask a Nikon rep exactly this question at Photokina and see if they can answer it, because I cannot! Nikon should be leading this market, instead they are like Sony's poodle, eating their sensors, following their lead, sticking to the same old concept and product design, afraid to move an inch on their own. Where's the confidence? They need younger top management in Japan.

In 2010 when EOSHD started and the 5D Mark II was all the rage, if anyone had predicted that 4 years later we'd be shooting 4K through a Leica 25-400mm lens for $899 I'd have told them to put their tin hat back on and return to planet lala to play with the moon bunnies. Alas here we are in 2014 shooting 4K through a Leica 24-400mm lens for $899. Read the full article here

Thanks. I think Panasonic found similar performance with contract detect AF. It's very fast on the GH4 and uses some new methods to speed up focus lock.

If Canon want to please video users they need to at least catch up with the competition. Problem is every time I look at the specs of the competition, and apply it to Canon, it seems ridiculously like I am asking too much. 4K 100Mbit/s H.264 10bit HDMI output 120fps slow-mo mode 400fps with line-skipping like the Nikon V1 Full frame sensor and APS-C model No moire / aliasing Full pixel readout Canon LOG Mirrorless mount EVF 5 axis stablisation $2500 Because that's only what the competition are offering isn't it? Ideally Canon should be better than the competition. I'm just asking them to be 'as good'. It just shows how far behind they are on video now. If the 1D C was $2500 but in a 5D Mark III-like body and with some concessions to video usability they would be on the right path.

These kind of posts are really starting to annoy me. You are pointing out the obvious. In this case a difference in grading and shooting methods. And then you admit yourself that it's 'not the tool' to some how justify your love affair with a mediocre tool you're intent on buying because it fits your needs. It's not informative. It isn't useful technically or even on the subject of cameras. I can show you two different videos, one shot on an iPhone creatively and one shot on a Epic which turned out worse, so what.... It doesn't help people quantify the performance of one camera versus another, which is what this thread is about.
-
Very interesting Dben. Do you have a link to the interview where the GH4 engineers talk about phase detect hindering the full pixel readout?
-
And so the thread sinks :) There goes Canon's biggest launch of the year... 7D Mark II a couple of years ago would have set the internet broadly on fire.

Sony FS7 versus the Canon C300 (and their own cameras too?)
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Well there's a more positive way to look at it... FS700 has been out a few years now and you presumably got some nice shots which wouldn't have been possible had you not invested in one. Then if you sell it on eBay I am sure you will get a nice chunk of your original investment thrown right back at you by eager punters. I'd do it now if you plan to go FS7 though as the price is gonna go south pretty quickly judging by what my FS100 is now worth (around £1k!!) -
Nice, thanks for that.

What the hell kind of camera does raw to SD card apart from the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera?
