No significant improvement in Canon APS-C sensors since 2004

So they are - corrected! -
No significant improvement in Canon APS-C sensors since 2004
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Full frame chart. Most recent full frame sensors from Canon, Nikon and Sony cameras... Bear in mind also that 1D X is more than double the price of the other two. Conclusion - Canon have lost the image quality race and need to make a big leap. -
No significant improvement in Canon APS-C sensors since 2004
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
What I also find strange is the slight deterioration in the latest 18MP sensors. They are taking out photosites and putting phase detect AF sensels in there, but the AF in live view still takes around 5 seconds to lock on. Why? -
[Closed] Current e-bay auctions for anamorphic adapters
Andrew Reid replied to conTXT's topic in Cameras
It's a different design to the Iscorama 36. You cannot remove the anamorphic from the Rollei 50mm either. Optically a bit of a downgrade from the 36 but still nice. -

How can you look soft and over sharp at the same time? Budget was $50k I heard. Including funding his own distribution. It's a stunning achievement. Not even released on BluRay or in rest of the world yet. Word of mouth is still growing for the movie. By the time the year is out he's likely to have taken over $1m easily. I think he'll handle Europe / UK in same way he handled the US. Film festival, promotion online, word of mouth, then theatrical run based on some healthy buzz.

Looks every bit as detailed as the GH2, but with better codec out of the box and of course 1080/60p, better screen, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if it beat the GH3 on image quality in video mode too. Need to test that. If the camera is so detailed with sharpness at 0 or -2 there's no need to sharpen in post any more, something I had to get used to with my FS100 and 5D Mark III footage.
-
I will be getting a beta version of the M43 adapter to test soon.
-
Thanks Julian. If you do another test please can you try -2 sharpness and contrast in the middle on both cameras? G6 is certainly softer but I think that is due to the image processing applying less sharpening than the one on the GH2.
-
Really nice shots AdamCinema. I'll see what has happened to your other username and re-enable it.
-
Julian, can you upload to Vimeo or something? YouTube is very bad for judging image quality due to the compression. G6 is looking good.

I'm going to introduce an updated design for the forums. Just a quick question - Which do you prefer, white (or light grey) text on black, or black on white as now?

3.5k Canon 5D Mark III raw video with Magic Lantern and latest updates
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
I am sure they'd rather make $20 per unit more margin than stick in more RAM to please our small niche. They're not Blackmagic unfortunately. It will be their undoing of course... Eventually. Even normal consumers are getting bored of Rebels now. They risk going the same way as the compacts. -
CoolPix is nice... But I'd prefer the X100S to the Coolpix for similar price. Faster lens and 35mm equiv. not 28, nicer feel in my view.

10 second burst highly unlikely. How about Apple upgrade every 13" MacBook to 32GB RAM whilst we're at it -

It will be burst length hence the name. -
3.5k Canon 5D Mark III raw video with Magic Lantern and latest updates
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Yes but I was more referring to video DNG and slow cards, not raw burst modes of 50 frames like what already exists on the Nikon V1. The 7D Mark II is getting a 30fps / 60fps burst mode according to rumours. If 5D mark III can already do at least 30 frames raw burst at 30fps, it should be in there unless it decreases the life of the camera dramatically. -

Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
So here's a 1.8" SSD http://www.amazon.co.uk/KingSpec-1-8-inch-50-pin-Solid-State/dp/B007PFI5HS But what is the Tanboo exactly? I only see one connector on it - is that 50 pin CF or standard CF? Write speeds seem low. IDE is not as fast as SATA. I'm not sure it will work, but interesting. -

A XF305 is totally different use to a DSLR. Great AF, great zoom. Also no pro with a C300 will dump that and go for a hack running on a DSLR just for raw or a better image. -
Canon 5D 2K raw feed update - 1920x720 possible on 1000x card?
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Write speed of the buffer is definitely no problem. It is able to continuously capture the 14bit raw stream from the sensor even in 3.5K mode. It is not as simple as sticking different cards in there and finding out where performance levels off. There's more variables here than card speed. All sorts of as mysterious internal Canon code, debayering, live view stuff, etc. I'll leave it to the Magic Lantern devs, they know far more than me on how to proceed. -
3.5k Canon 5D Mark III raw video with Magic Lantern and latest updates
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
I wouldn't be surprised if they activated the feature on the 7D2, after all it already exists. That's Canon. They probably have the next 5 years features planned out, and will just turn them on in firmware :) Does anyone else find it quite funny that an outside programming team have been able to deliver 30fps burst before Canon's own team delivered it to the market!? -

Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
The jello is only like that in 3.5K mode with violent handheld work. The slow mo also makes it look worse than it actually is. Yep IS would help for that.
