The pictures look AWFUL :( Worse than a digital compact camera with a smaller sensor. The hair is extremely muddy, even at ISO200! It may the lens but to me it looks like an internal processing thing. Also at high ISO you start to see those weird halos seen in the video sample, either a weird sharpening or noise removal. Whatever it is I'm not liking it.

I do hope so!

He means hardware acceleration by the GPU or some help from the CPU (like Intel Quick Sync). Right now there's no GPU AKAIK that even simply decodes H265 in hardware so editing would be a pain. We're also dealing with 5x slower renderings.

Those are the most important and relevant questions but I doubt Samsung will ever answer those :D We need reviews from independent sources.

Can you change exposure while recording like aperture, iso etc..? Also the sample on YT looks extremely over-sharpened and video-ish. Do they apply some kind of sharpening that makes it look like a smartphone or was it done in post?

It's not only you, absolutely :) Let's just hope they put some horrible sharpening in post.

Meh, it's so sad.

One thing worries me looking at the samples...it looks like video and it doesn't have the cinematic look. Am I right? Also colors...mmm looks like shot on a smartphone.

If the 7D is not for video then what is/will be? They want me to pay for the Cinema EOS line to even get a decent 1080p in 2014? WiIl never happen, Canon is dead for video for average people. This release is the definitive proof because the next Rebel will just have the usual same sensor with swivel LCD but same crappy video. Time to move on for real now.

I don't wanna be that guy but since the 550D days even with YouTube compression the first samples always provided me the definite impression if something was a game changer or not and I was never wrong. Let me tell you that this camera from that video just sucks. I'm just talking about details. It still has that OLD and SURPASSED DSLR look.

Also for wide angle lenses lovers the Canon's 10mm-ish counterpart ($300) from Sony costs $800 and from Samsung $300. So another advantage! God this is basically the camera I've always wanted: not pricey, APC-S, mirrorless, great 1080p video (it should), great for stills (it should) and it even has 4K! Now it only has to really have no weird video issues nor awful low light quality (like high ISO digital noise and such). Even though I truly feel it will have some kind of stupid problem that would make it worthless (like aliasing or horrible low light quality). It's like too good to be true :( I must say though that I'm a little biased towards the idea of buying Samsung lenses, how good can they be? I doubt Samsung has the knowledge on camera systems like Canon/Nikon... am I wrong?

Andrew, will you get a chance to review it?

This is just awful. I just watched the official video sample from Canon and it sucks, I see nothing new! Fine the 7D was not for video but it was used for that A LOT and now the new one doesn't even have the swivel LCD? It's like going back 5 years, nothing changed. Nothing. Unless Canon has something else for Photokina they're officially dead to me.

Let's pretend the image will be pretty good, what about lenses? What can I use on this mount?

We'll know in less than one month what Canon wants to do.

Unfortunately the image looks pretty soft with aliasing and moiré, at least compared to the A7S. Would be interesting to see how it looks compared to latest Nikons and Canon 5d mk3.

Even if it has XAVS-C it doesn't mean it would have great quality. They could cripple the video details since they are experts at this :)

I wouldn't shoot anything above 1/50-1/60 so for me ND filter is a must.

It seems to be a common mistake to associate video card = video editing. That's (almost) completely wrong. GPU acceleration is used only by some editing software like Premiere Pro and only for some effects, actually from CS6 they added a lot of effects. Also keep in mind that GPU acceleration is used only for rendering effects not for decoding and encoding. So my advice is not to spend a fortune on video cards, just the best you can get that supports acceleration with your editing software and invest on CPU, RAM and dedicated HDD for videos. I'm not saying that GPU doesn't make a difference, I mean that high end GPUs can be an overkill.

Canon says those magic words for every upcoming announcement.

From what I've seen I'm not that sure that the A6000 in terms of details is worse than the D5300.

Resolution looks promising.

I completely agree with the video. Nikon is being really stupid. They have no video market to protect and they could destroy everyone.

I read that with the Nikon with "digital" lenses you can't change the aperture in live view and when recording. Is that true? That would be a real PITA for me.

I believe no manual controls for video right?
