Although not the greatest for testing, you can be download some 1080p50 videos from here.   http://www.dkamera.de/news/preview-sony-cyber-shot-dsc-rx100-ii-beispielaufnahmen/

Looks like the sensor design hasn't change much as Canon Says the RAW output noise level is the same as the 60D.   http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/canon-70d/canon-70dA.HTM     We've already mentioned the new image sensor from the standpoint of autofocus, but it's worth noting that its resolution has been increased slightly over that of the Canon 60D. With size unchanged, that results in a smaller pixel pitch, but Canon says it has also increased the active imaging area of the sensor slightly, from 14.9 x 22.3 to 15.0 x 22.5mm. That, coupled with a switch to a new DIGIC 5+ image processor, leads the company to predict noise levels that are roughly on par with the lower-res 60D for raw shooting. JPEG shooters, promises Canon, will see a "huge improvement" in image quality.

Looks more like a specialized landscape camera, but they designated it a CoolPix.  The Sigma compact would be a much better option for this niche.  Not sure what market Nikon is going after with this.

The 1.3 crop mode works with video which gives a 2x crop (15.4mp) compared to FF.  The 51 AF points will cover most of the image in 1.3 crop mode. The OVF also has an OLED overlay for displaying information.   Also, just to clarify the D7100 has 'no AA filter' while the D800E still had the filter but had a cancelling out one as well.  So we should see more of a detail advantage but more acceptable to moire too.

Yes, a few people have noticed that the 50mbps IPB results were better.

Voigtlander just announced the 42.5mm f/0.95 lens for m43. No pricing yet. http://www.43rumors.com/new-voigtlander-cosina-42-5mm-f0-95-lens/

http://www.olympus-global.com/en/news/2013a/nr130121mfourthirdse.jsp   This would suggest an active m43 mount is coming soon.

  Not possible due to space restrictions.

+1.  Not sure why this keeps coming up as Metabones has been clear that space limitations only allow 0.71x for all adaptors.  That means a 1.4x crop for m43.  This will limit how useful lenses can be on a m43 mount.

This reminds me of the comments when HDTV was becoming more mainstream.  Actors and news staff were concerned their "imperfections" would become more obvious in HD.  They also had to rethink makeup.

[quote name='EOSHD' timestamp='1353951820' post='22331'] It is the video feed. They need to scale it better for the EVF. The glass smears like the NEX 7 if you have your eye not directly to it. Apart from that it is a nice upgrade from the GH2's viewfinder. Colour and contrast very good and it is OLED. [/quote] I wonder if they took some shortcuts with scaling in order to improve the refresh rate. I also wish manufacturers would not skimp on the glass in front of the EVF. This just doesn't make sense, especially for a higher end body.

Was the resolution drop in the EVF across the whole frame or just in the corners.

One of the better quality GH3 videos so far. Review coming soon.

Johnnie has post a new video showing the moire and aliasing issues. [media]http://vimeo.com/53577244[/media]

Looks like the NEX-6 is a step back from the NEX-5 for video. [url="http://vimeo.com/53344694"]http://vimeo.com/53344694[/url]

GH3 review just posted. http://www.digitalcamerainfo.com/content/Panasonic-Lumix-GH3-Digital-Camera-Review/Conclusion.htm "While the Canon 5D Mark III has been the go-to option for these shooters in recent months, our video tests show that the GH3 shoots superior video across the board. The smaller sensor may not provide the extreme shallow depth of field effects you can get from the 5D Mark III, but the GH3’s video looks sharper and stands up better to aggressive editing. And despite the fact that the camera costs almost $2000 less, you get far more compression and codec options." http://www.digitalcamerainfo.com/content/Panasonic-Lumix-GH3-Digital-Camera-Review/Video.htm

According to this Panasonic Interview the GH3 does binning not line skipping to get to 1080p. http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2012/09/28/qa-with-panasonic-the-story-behind-the-new-gh3-and-compact-system-tech Panasonic: Yes, it's not possible to read out the whole array at 60p. So this means we have to do some pixel combining. We combine 2 x 2 pixels on the sensor, so that makes just one quarter the data that we have to read out. This makes it possible to read out at 60p. Then we combine again to get the 2 megapixel video image.

I believe the Electronic shutter on the GH3 can also produce full 16mp images just like the G5.

Must be concerned about the competition as they are announcing this firmware update 6 months in advance.

I wonder if anyone will implement this. [url="http://***URL removed***/news/2012/10/08/Aptina-gives-detail-of-4k-video-capable-10MP-sensor"]http://***URL removed***/news/2012/10/08/Aptina-gives-detail-of-4k-video-capable-10MP-sensor[/url]

If you are concerned about the size of the camera than you should definitely try them out. As a GH2 owner I found the A37 grip even smaller than the one on the GH2 (A37 grip is not as tall). Here is a size comparison. [url="http://camerasize.com/compare/#166,326"]http://camerasize.com/compare/#166,326[/url]

The latest 1.5 firmware now supports IBIS for legacy lenses.

A great Panasonic interview. Some good discussions on focus peaking and sensor readout.

If we can successfully negotiate with the engineers, it will be possible. Maybe with a firmware upgrade, we could add this. We understand from the technical division in Japan that the peaking function just depends on software improvements Yes, it's not possible to read out the whole array at 60p.
