Also... For me a 'chunky' file is measured in the difference between, and the range, in just a single hue. Mashed colours with poor tonality scream 'thin' digital file to me.

In my opinion tonality trumps dynamic range. You can have very high dynamic range but if the tonality and colour is lacking you get the 'thin' digital low-bit-depth look. A lot of smartphones have it in their HDR modes. Some of the old CCD sensors produce lovely "thick" files but don't have anywhere near 12 stops dynamic range, not even 11 stops. And yeah, Digital Bolex was a good example. You can compare it to the claimed '15 stops' Sony S-LOG and it looks much deeper, more exotic, thicker, more filmic, more organic, despite having noisy shadows and clipped highlights.

Ah don't need the explanation after all. Better remember to log out of your shill account before posting with your main account next time @Hangs4Fun

I am looking forward to the explanation too.

Fixed the mobile menu icon, it should show up now.

Yeah the main menu icon seems to have vanished on mobile browsers. I'm in touch with the IP Board support people to find out why. Sometimes it's as if they never test updates!

Ah when phone screen brightness is on medium, it does seem to look too dark. Have tweaked the text so it's brighter. Cheers for the feedback, keep it coming

It does. I have a Z50 now. Review coming soon!

Looks the same contrast to me (as Reddit) Are you viewing the screen in bright sunlight? It should show as dark blue post background and light grey text.

Made text a bit lighter. The trick is to not make it too neon or bright on a dark background as that kills people's eyes.

I would do, but I left my 1D C in Berlin. Maybe some other time. I am pretty sure the colour science is very similar on both.

Why? Feedback appreciated!

There will be a few tweaks and improvements too in coming days. If you notice anything off or have any further suggestions let me know!

Forum news. You can now switch between dark and light theme. I prefer the dark one, especially on a bright modern high contrast IPS or OLED screen. Much easier on the eye and photos / videos really pop now on the darker backdrop. Enjoy! (The button to switch between dark and light Theme is at the bottom of the page)

Is that an affiliate link you are enriching yourself with there?

Glad you got one. Have you compared the EVF to an S1, S1H, Z6, GFX camera, or similar yet?

Doctor, doctor. Help me, I'm crazy. Doctor: What is it Andrew? Divorce? Famine? Starvation? War? Ah it's just Canon. Doctor: Ah. Ok. They keep cripple hammering things. Doctor: Next patient!

The EOSHD Forum has been going since December 2011, so nearly 9 years now. What have been the single most popular topics during this time? https://www.eoshd.com/news/the-top-20-most-popular-cameras-of-all-time-on-the-eoshd-forum/

Pentax seem to have shunned the growing areas of the camera market (mirrorless cameras, cinema and videography). But as other manufacturers move on from the past will Pentax eventually benefit? https://www.eoshd.com/news/will-canon-nikon-leaving-the-dslr-market-boost-pentax/

Good point. Panasonic aways chose to add a special feature or two, to chase market share and they have provided supreme value for money over the years. Where is the 10bit full frame camera from the other manufacturers at the same price as the S1 for instance? Or anamorphic cameras for under $2K. But people see a Canon badge and go mental. Another crippled very high margin product. The same people who would deride the lack of IBIS or EVF on a cheap mirrorless camera under $1000 seem to give Canon a pass when these are missing at $5500. I do get that it's a cinema camera and image is a big step up from C100. It is by no means a poor camera. I just personally would have found an EVF very useful. I'd also have preferred a full frame sensor. IBIS is another big one. But yes if you are into crop sensor look with good dynamic range, I am sure the C70 ticks a lot of boxes.

I am wondering why the put the best chip and image in the stills camera. Full frame. 8K. RAW. So why not put that in the more expensive model as well?

It's a good idea but people don't care.

Canon's mythical cripple hammer needs a theme tune... an anthem. With this Berlin industrial dance band AND ONE I think I've found one. TURN THE VOLUME UP!
