Hi guys! New in the forum and in the pull-the-trigger days... Have not read all the thread but will do. I am lost because i am reading that one metabones adapter for M43, that fits in a PCC, does not in the MCC??? So, first of all: lenses like Olympus Zuiko 12mm f/2 or any other M43 lens will be working? Second and very important too... anybody can confirm a Canon FD lens adapter for this camera? Thank you very much.

As far as I am aware all native micro four thirds lenses will work as its an active mount.  You control aperture by the camera, focus will be manual using the lens as theres no autofocus.  And Is will work on the lens that has it.  But there will be no auto correction of distortion and chromatic aberation like there are with mft stills cameras.

As for FD adapter:

  and im sure there are others.

As for the Metabones, I don't have any answers myself, but this thread on bmcuser talks about it if you haven't already seen it. http://www.bmcuser.com/showthread.php?16702-Pocket-speedbooster-doesn-t-fit-on-BMMC

The screen tilts. Its the viewfinder that doesn't tilt.

You make a fair point. I'm thankful, believe me. I live in a specific area of Yorkshire where they're rolling out next gen fibre. Before I got by on 2-5mg downloads and 0.3 uploads. So it's something I appreciate everyday.

ive tested Vimeo a bunch since on my mobile with varying 3G /4G connections since but that's probably still to fast to show any issues? 

Its probably down-resing on your phone.  I doubt if it will be streaming at native resolution. Could be wrong though.

I think the Zacuto EVF doesnt work on 50-60p.. But it works with 24,25,30p.. I have been researching a bit, and it happens also to GH4 users.. The zacuto even in works in 4k 24p underscaled but not 1080 60p

So sad man.. I am thinking to sell mine and get a Cineroid EVF4CHE (hdmi version) If anybody else knows another nice option for evf that supports from 24p to 60p.. I would like to hear about it 

Can we record 60p internally and send 25 or 30p out the hdmi?  I wouldn't have any need to actually monitor at 60p. As long as you can see what is being recorded, 30p would be fine.

Rolling shutter should be faster in 60p. I haven't tested it, but I'm guessing it would be around 10ms.

There's no reason why it would be, or should be any faster in 60p.  If it's possible to scan the sensor in 10ms, then that appies regardless of how many times it has to scan it.  The only thing we knew for certain it that it must be capable of 16.6ms because that is 1/60th of a second.  13.4ms seems like a decent all round figure though anyway.

Initial impressions.

I haven't done any proper lighting setups yet, I’ve just been pushing it to find its breaking point.

It's a good sensor, but it's not the 5D MK3 ML raw killer I thought it might be. It's not far behind the 5D raw, but the 5D image is a little more robust (more predictable & solid overexposure and low light results). The image is less saturated than the 5D but it's red heavy. I can get them to match pretty well by boosting saturation 25%, cooling the color temp to match the 5D, and slapping filmconvert or a KD5207 LUT on both.

One thing I do like is it doesn't have fixed pattern noise like the 5D, the noise is more filmic, but it does need a bit of denoising to get rid of the blue chroma noise.

So far I think the 5D raw has a slight edge in resolution, color, low light ability (at equal DOF), and IQ. Dynamic range is closer than I expected, there's not much in it. At this point I think the BMMCC is going to be B-cam to the 5D, but I've got more testing to do to be 100% sure.

It’s better than every 8bit H.264 DSLR I’ve tested including the A7s.

Is that just raw from the bmmcc youre talking about.  How does prores hold up.  If prores could almost match 5d3 raw then that would be an acheivment, especially at 60p.

And this one

This vid purports to show the rolling shutter of the BMMCC.

Dosn't actually seem that bad considering how fast he is moving.

The "tweaking the ear of a hamster" analogy made me laugh.

The "improved image" picked my curiosity.

 

 

piqued*

What I hope is that the moire is improved so I wont have to bother getting a mosaic filter.

He has no rights to that footage whatsoever, you own full rights.  If they disagree with that, tell them to talk to a solicitor. You dont have to do anything. Will he see a solicitor? will he fuck.  And if he does he will be humbled by what they tell him.

Very simple solution: Sell the raw files to him. (with written confirmation that you have full rights over your edit)   He obviously wants them, so charge him what you think he will be willing to pay.  Dont be stingy on yourself. ask for $500, $1000 or even more if they are rich. Alow them to bargain down.  In the long run, you aren't going to need raw files of a shitty rock band so why not.

I have a Vimeo Pro account with embeds on my website. I just gave it a quick try. While the player defaults to auto it seems to start out SD then snap into HD in a couple of seconds. That doesn't seem too bad. I can select the res manually too and it snaps to what I select pretty quickly. Then again my bandwidth is pretty good.

The Apple TV looks and works great! 

You have to be joking even testing for a bandwidth issue if that is your connection.  That upload destroyes about 99% of peoples download.  You could probably live-stream 8k with that connection.  Its like a member of a swat team walking down the street saying "well I dont see any muggers".

Basically the data rate of a vimeo HD video is about 4.8 megabit per second.  If your connection is always above that you will never see this issue.

Lets say your downstream is only half that, you would clearly need to stop the video and let half of the video buffer.  The maximum buffer is now only 20 seconds, so anyone with a connection slower than 2.4 meg will not be able to watch from beggining to end a HD video that is longer than 40 seconds.

If yout connection is 3/4ths of 4.8 you will need to buffer a quarter of the video, which means anyone with a 3.6 meg connection will not be able to watch from beggining to end a HD video that is longer than 1 minutes 20 seconds.

Trust me, speeds this low are not uncommon at all. many rural exchanges in the UK are limited to 2 meg.

Desktop, but yeah ethernet connection.  Its just the length of the telephone line from the exchange, though If I get fiber to the cabinet it will sort that out.  Luckily I have a work around with the vimeo thing: I Just download it using a downloader.

Try this speed out for size

Dunno... I've got:

... over here. Not sure if Vimeo hooks me up to other servers or so.

That video you talked about, I just checked it, just fine, not even weird overlays. Text is clean and sharp (1080p, but even auto seems to take 1080p, it's not 270/360/720p for sure), wide depth of field shots are full of sharp details... doesn't seem any different than usual. So... not sure.

sidenote: Brandon Li!

lol.  Yeah, I dont think you ever have to wory about seeing this issue mate.  Try this speed out for size:

Hum. Odd. I've been browsing around, but I didn't run in to that yet. Could it be a browser thing? I'm on Win10 with the latest Firefox.

I did just get a overlay with '/!\ Having issues? Switch to Auto for smoother streaming.' on that vid just posted by benymypony, but that didn't stop me from having 1080p selected and playing (logged out).

Perhaps your internet is too fast to see the issue.  Mine is slow tonight so It made watching the Nomads of mongolia video impossible.

If I play it imbedded it goes blurry, netflix style. If I go to vimeo it seems to stay HD, but still only buffers 20 seconds ahead max, at least for the last video I tried anyway. I'm in UK.

As has been talked about before, vimeo have removed the ability to select resolution.   I thought they had kept the ability, as when I click on HD I can select 1080p.  But now for some reason it finds it acceptable to drop the actual resolution to less-than-SD super mush even though 1080p is still sellected.  What the fuck!

Before, I could sellect HD, and yes, I might have to wait a minute for it to buffer before it started. But at least I could watch the whole thing in full HD at the native resolution of my monitor.  Now, not only does it drop the quality but it only buffers the video about 20 seconds ahead so as soon as I press play it will either catch up the buffer and stop or drop the res.  Ruined!

I'll give it a chance. They are obviously going full camp with it so at least it has no pretention of seriousness like most reboots.  The thing that annoyed me most about this trailer was the incessant 'booming'. 'dun!', 'dun!' , 'dun!'. Right, we get it!

That looks horrendous. Terribly over sharpened, digital, and just plain yucky. Could be upload/export setting, but looks like they have in camera sharpening set way to high. 

Absolutely! A lot of shots the are way oversharpened. However It seems like some shots that aren't sharpened though. The longer zoom landscape shots. Maybe it was filmed by  several different people.  Lets face it the lion cub shots were probably filmed in a zoo.

Well not the sensor, it's a Sony.

The OLED will be either LG or Samsung I think.

And it isn't a mirrorless camera, it is fixed lens.

Nice try

Mirrorless refers to the mirror, not the lens.  These cameras don't have mirrors, so they are mirrorless.  However, they aren't EVILs, MILCs or compact system cameras. (EVIL being my favourite for what the accepted term should be).

Hardly think Blackmagic Pocket Camera price or release date was too much affected by the screen they put in it.

Stripping down the Micro, based around same sensor, probably pays for the redesign and faster processor for 60fps.

I was talking more about inbuilt wifi remote control functionality.

That goes against their entire philosophy which have always been: a box with the best possible, uncompressed image at a low price, you do the rest.

Exactly! If they put all that stuff in it would double the price and more importantly it would never be released because they would never finish it.

You can turn off the nofitication by clicking the bell of the notification on the top right side of this page, then click the notification setting. There you can turn off the sound, or do everything you want.

Thanks.

Is it possible to turn the off the new audio notification of new comments?  I obviously dont want the sound disturbing whatever im listening to in another tab. So am I now forced to close the eoshd tab completely?

I imagine using maybe a speed booster 0.64x bmcc version on a M4/3 to E-mount adaptor ring will make that 120p 2.3x crop an advantage.

Bear in mind that the M4/3 to E-mount adaptor rings (I have only seen one type available) are reported to lose infinity focus on certain lenses. So it looks like they are slightly thicker than they should be.  I would imagine a speedbooster has to be pretty precise.
