So funny that the "doomed" EOS M system still going while Sony APS-C just stopped like that.

Speaking of holding colour better at mixed lighting, I found that is true with c300iii than r5. In a recent music video shoot full of rgb light, my r5 looks like purplish while c300 iii look really blue on a blue lighted wall with a top panel light on tungsten colour. I think the r5 sensor got polluted by that top panel light but c300 iii holds on.

Is this the end for affordable Sony cameras? A7C, A6600, A6100 all cancelled
Due to a major chip shortage, Sony has announced it will cancel the production of several recent models, some permanently. Sony are themselves a manufacturer of semiconductors, can't they just make more? Of course it isn't that simple. Sony use thousands of third party chips in their products...

Hello to everyone on the forum!
A Merry Christmas from me!
I hope you're looking forward to having a good break over the holidays and are ready to welcome in 2022. Talking of holidays - I have been having a break from EOSHD for a few months. I went and sat on a hill and finally had time to reflect on my work which is this blog and the community around it. The last video had a lot of support, it's made me really appreciate what I have in a more positive light. I'm mega appreciative of the people who took the time to say how EOSHD has helped them over the years and that they want it to continue.
So that's what we'll do! EOSHD is back.

The most important question -
Is Peter McKinnon switching?

Hi guys !  At start sorry for my English. 
I'm first person in my city who rent a a7iv for test (Poland), Warsaw) and start talking to people about overheating problems

In my opinion a7iv is good camera but have few problems which will be out soon.
All reviews are wrong and they lie about test and time of long recording.
I didn't have much time for all test but few my test bellow!. Please do your own test and write in comments

tripod + open screen, temp set to HIGH
4k HS 200 Mbps 50fps (AF-C when nobody sitting on front of camera)
Nothing bad happened and first original battery finish after 1h:34min and i change to second battery and stopped the test after 1h50min
> I got a better time than stated by SONY ( +25min)

I wait until camera cold down (30 min) and start another test with fresh battery 

tripod + open screen, temp set to HIGH
4k HS 200 Mbps 50fps (AF-C when my friend was on the front of camera for all the time and eye tracking need to work )
Camera show after 35min overheating icon and turn off in 55min
> I got a worse time than stated by SONY ( -15min)

* For sure the time of recording with active AF-C is less then on SONY website

**I'm afraid it will much worse in summer when we gonna run and gun with AF-C and IBIS. Hand-held will accelerate heating issue (what do you think ?)

POWER USB DON'T WORK CORRECTLY

TEST 1 POWER USB
tripod + open screen, temp set to HIGH
4k HS 200 Mbps, 50fps  record 25min and turn off (overheating)
(AF-C when my friend was on the front of camera for all the time and eye tracking need to work )
> I got a worse time than stated by SONY ( -45 min) !!!
* Time between POWER USB 30 min and always fresh original battery

TEST 2 POWER USB
tripod + open screen, temp set to HIGH
(AF-C when my friend was on the front of camera for all the time and eye tracking need to work )
4k HS 100 Mbps, 50pfs  record 17min and turn off (overheating)
> the shortest time I got. I have problem with my a7iv or SONY screwed up
* Time between POWER USB 30 min and always fresh original battery
TEST 3 POWER USB
tripod + open screen, temp set to HIGH
(this time i check manual focus MF)
4k HS 100 Mbps, 50fps  record 17min and turn off (overheating)
> I got a worse time than stated by SONY ( -105 min) !!!

The same setting like above but without POWER USB , and on AF-C, (fresh battery)
tripod + open screen, temp set to HIGH
4k HS 100 Mbps, 50fps  record 1h 30 min.  and turn off (overheating)
(AF-C when my friend was on the front of camera for all the time and eye tracking need to work )
> I got a worse time than stated by SONY ( -50 min) !!!
But after 5 min cold down and changing battery he record again 1h and sd card v90 finish.

>>>My conclusions and thoughts<<<
1) All tests carried out by YouTubers are wrong. They record record the wall (item)  not human (AF-C and eye tracking) , so should should not be taken seriously. ( You know $$$)
2) Generally, the shooting times of 4k 200 Mbps where the AF-C really needs to work are below the guaranteed times.
3) The shooting times 4k HS 100 Mbps, 50fps where the AF-C really needs to work are HIGHLY below the guaranteed times.
4) USB POWER DON'T WORK CORRECTLY
5) I believe that the results of shooting by handhald may be even worse because there will be a problem with the cooling of the a7iv in the hands 
6) I believe that the situation with the overheating of the a7iv in the summer could be much worse and we need to have that in the mind before buy.
 
So far, I cannot perform any more tests and I would like to remind you that such results can only occur with me! However, I will be pleased to know your results, provided that you do not record the wall and you do not work for SONY.

XAVC HS 4K 200 Mbps 50fps - record 55min (tripod, af-c) (sony write 1 h 10 min)
XAVC HS 4K 100 Mbps 50fps - record 1h30min (tripod, af-c) (sony write 2 h 20 min)
USB POWER - max 25 min record
Is it ok and worth buying? Is it better to wait and see how the situation unfolds?
I leave it to you, but one thing is for sure, the Internet reviews sucks and you shouldn't trust the reviews and read the comments with caution and an open mind.

As usual in recent years I have been making a Christmas video for the police force where I work.
This year with more sense of humor, parodying Breaking Bad.
No professional, all who appear are police officers.
GH5S + Sirui Anamorphic 35mm. Hope you like it.
 

Music video of old familiar track shot on S5 4K V-Log 10-Bit 4:2:2 shot with 20-60 kit lens. AF didn't wander. Camera is small & light and powerful. Great shooting experience.
 
 

Clog 3 definitely have better highlight, the left was ooc and right is tweak in lumetri (r5 clog3), on clog 1 that highlight is lost forever

The reason for not includeing phase detection on Venice is interesting
 
 

https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/leaked-new-venice-2-digital-cinema-camera-with-a-new-8-6k-full-frame-image-sensor/
8.6K 3:2 30FPS Full-Frame
8.2K 17:9 60FPS Full-Frame
5.8K 6:5 Anamorphic 48FPS Super 35
5.8K 17:9 90FPS Super 35
It shares the same 8.6K sensor IMX610 (but no DRAM) with Sony A1 mirrorless camera.

Ninja V+ is $999 for all nov

Looks like they are using the same raw codec for both stills and video mode then?
6:1 and 12:1 compression modes
500Mbit in 1 bit per pixel 12:1 compression for DCI 4K 60p. Which could mean 4K/24p cinema at under 250Mbit!!
1000Mbit in the 6:1 mode (4K/60)
8K is up to 4000Mbit in the highest quality mode.
Not sure which of these Intopix configs they have actually implemented on camera so if anyone finds some more info from Nikon or a good source do let me know

Waveform monitor comes with firmware update.

This camera is the perfect cam for the Apple eco system with internal Prores and Prores Raw!
Now I tempted.

who would have thought the first still camera maker that introduce internal Prores HQ and Prores RAW will be the same company everybody were saying "not serious about video", and not those companies that have been in Cinema camera business for decades.
 

Internal ProRes HQ and internal 12-bit RAW coming in firmware. Nikon is going all out with this for video it seems. 

First Nikon Z I'm genuinely excited about. 8K60p / 4K120P. Internal Log, Raw, ProResRaw & ProRes 422 HQ!!
No overheating problems and good RS performance.
I mean damn could this be the full spec no compromise pro hybrid?!
Even the price is a nice surprise. Well done Nikon!

e-bay, local auction site, fb local buy/sell group & marketplace.. My most recent score is Eos R with RF 24-105L kit for $1650 on ebay, I can pretty much resell for nice profit 🤑

I buy them with mixed of used/new, normally buying new if there is no used yet and price is not crazy.
 
I save quite a lot on buying used though, and can usally resell with minimum depreciation.
