Some of us knew its coming tho

Digital stabilization works better with higher shutter speed; cause you don't see the micro motion blur. For serious video production we can't use any shutter speed we like. But for YouTube, sure its good enough.

OIS or IBIS have almost no problem dealing with severe vibrations. Their killer is dust. Even if your lens is "weather sealed", its not immune to dust. Stabilizer being on lens or sensor, use very tiny metal balls lubricated by a special oil, to move smoothly. If that oil contaminated by environment particles, it loses its required viscosity, and the result is jumpy moves. 

It actually turned to a good discussion: what exactly defines a cine camera?

Chip shortages and thin profit margin. Look at the Nikon announcement today. Everybody is trying to use the parts they already have in inventory or still available to order. This one has 1 inch sensor and two of them, at just $700! Japanese gave up single 1 inch P&S at $1000. I don't want to be business manager of this company.

Z9 heatsink.


 
 
 

50hz vs 60hz defines the ecosystem that the device is compatible with. "24fps or more", is intentionally mentioned there to prevent still camera makers, who were already using raw compression for still images, to make Cine cameras that shoot raw internally. If a judge doesn't understand this doesn't mean its not clear.
 

I strongly recommend reading this article. I recommend everything Jack writes on his weblog. Its a treasure.

Which means they're guarding the act of compression itself. Frame rates and level of compression are also stupid. Its like to patent a CPU with 8 cores to prevent anyone else making any CPU with more than 7 cores. Nobody should be allowed to patent the scale of something.

They should have patented the algorithm of compression, not the compression itself, because 1- compressing raw data is obvious 2- done before on still raw up to 5-6 fps in DSLRs, like Nikon D2x.

Big corporations couldn't even imagine someone would patent the idea of saving RAW file.

There is no exception. ARRI didn't reinvent the CMOS sensor, they just achieved lower noise floor with double readout. State of the art CMOS is limited by 15 stop, which 13 is useable. These are so clean that they're only limited by shot noise. In other words, the noise problem is already solved; so to increase DR you need to work on the other side: saturation level. Unfortunately its so hard to increase the saturation capacity that Nikon celebrated when they achieved 1/4 of a stop more capacity and called it ISO 64, which in reality was only ISO 80.

No BSI, no fast read out, no clean 4k60, no CF express slot, and ridiculous EVF for the price.
Fuji gonna be fine.

4k raw is obviously pixel binned, but pixel binned NRAW seems cleaner than pixel binned ProResRAW.

I couldn't find it. However its always possible to get moire with 8k resolution. Modern lenses out resolve sensors, even at 100 megapixels. If you want zero occurrence of moire you have to stay in aperture range that diffraction happens, or simply use a softer lens.

Use wrong lens and composition and crop in post.. because you have 35 mega pixels!
Set wrong exposure and white balance and lift colors and shadows in post.. because you have RAW file!
Sorry, I don't call this trend "progress". 

I can make a jpeg look identical to 14 bit raw, but "visual" quality is not the point of raw. Lift shadows 3 or 4 stops and then compare again.
