    I started using bing since the day they fired the guy. Not that Microsoft is any better, but I don't want to use their services anymore. I wish a Chinese or Indian startup make a YouTube rival then I will be G-free. Thanks god Telegram rocks in my country so I rarely need to use email.

    There's already been an 8K resolution smartphone camera... 41MP Nokia PureView 808 with 1" sensor.
    The problem for Nikon is twofold...
    They haven't delivered a compelling innovative camera for enthusiasts... The Df was a disaster. Their enthusiast mirrorless is nowhere. Their lack of dual pixel af a real problem too.
    Consumers have moved onto phones, but Nikon have showed zero expertise or understanding of the online services and apps market.

    Because time moves in a forwards direction!
    The 42MP sensor came out in 2015, it's practically 2014 tech!
    Thankfully Sony isn't Canon and they do go forwards rather than use the same sensor tech for 10 years. Or even backwards with 6D Mark II.

    ND64 got a reaction from IronFilm in Nikon struggling to match Samsung NX500 stills quality with 2 year head start   
    PetaPixel used the "3rd time" in its title. DPReview word was "expands". We know which one is more interested in clickbait. 
    The good side of it is that they took the issue that could only affect a few number of users very seriously, and replace the shutter even if warranty is expired. The ugly side is the range of this expansion, which is nearly a year, that brings a question how its even possible to NOT notice new batch of component has same problem of the previous batch, for a year!

    DxO score can't even represent their own testing. Here is actual DR comparison:

    The difference is more than one full stop, but not at base ISO. Something happens at ISO 400 that needs a IP licence Samsung didn't have. 
    CMOS is a matured tech, read noise on these new sensors are ridiculously low, so we are limited by noise generated by randomness of light. which we can't do much about that.

    ND64 reacted to BTM_Pix in DPReview moan about Sony A9 banding with 7700hz LED advertising   
    The two major problems those LED ad board actually present to us shooting in stadiums as they become so widely adopted are :
    1) We've had to get taller stools.
    2) They are quite temperamental so you often have their techs crouching next to you and fiddling about with them.
    White balance changing in a fast burst due to floodlights pulsing is an order of magnitude higher as a lighting issue than the LED boards.
    For this LED board stuff to be causing a genuine problem for people shooting at stadiums with the A9 then people would have to be actually shooting at stadiums with the A9 in the first place. And in my experience, they're not. For reasons that have zero to do with banding.
    Such an odd thing to go after them for in the overall scheme of things with that camera.
    This image they've used to show the banding though....
    I'm not being catty, because I don't mind that fro fella, but I don't look at it and think "Wow, look at the banding"
    I think "Where's the ball, why is your horizon off, why is the focus on the wrong player, why is it so noisy for a shot in broad daylight, why is it so heavily processed"
    If I sent that on the wire, it wouldn't be the banding that would be preventing it from getting published.

    Sure all those things are important for photographers.
    And the 6D Mark II is nice ergonomically.
    But there's no getting away from the fact that the 6D came out in 2012, the 6D 2 in 2017, and in between 5 years passed, Canon added Dual Pixel AF, which they have had lying around in the cupboard since 2013 with the 70D, a tilt screen, which the original 6D should have had in the first place, but they said "nah" it wouldn't be possible due to weather sealing, so now they have it on there with weather sealing anyway, so chalk that down to another fib, and as for the improvement in low light, you expect that as a given after 5 years of sensor development, it's probably not really very different from a Nikon D750 and I am sure 5D Mark IV owners are really over the moon about having worse low light performance than the 6D Mark II and no articulated screen for their extra $1500.

    Photography has got to move forward.
    We have been using the same shit for decades.
    Mirrorless is a step in the right direction of course.
    Samsung tried a very brave thing with a huge touch screen on the Galaxy NX, the only Android based Super 35mm interchangeable lens camera on the planet and customers didn't buy it.
    So perhaps Canon's customers are to blame for Canon.
    If all they want in 10 years of technological innovation is the addition of a swivel screen, then so be it.

    I hate to say it, but I agree. Only maybe 5% of tv and 20% of theatrical features (I'm guessing, but it's along these lines) are shot on RAW. Because it's not worth the extra expense on productions already costing $250,000/day to get that last tiny little bit of image quality. And yet it's a huge omission on a camera that costs $8000? 
    You can't expect everything. Or you can, but you'll be disappointed.

    Sucks so bad the Panasonic EVA1 lacks a Locking Micro Four Thirds Mount (like a baby made from the union of the JVC LS300 & Sony FS7 mk2 mounts).
    Panasonic has blown a massive opportunity to provide an upgrade path for their GH users as they progress through their career, & was an opportunity to grow Panasonic GH5 sales at the same time.
    However credit can be given to Panasonic for blasting out of the water the C200 which Canon just announced, but that fact should surprise exactly no one.

    If they were to do that I think it would be in a DSLR/Hybrid format. This won't eat into their Pro Camcorder sales, but a $4000 version would. 
    I predict that JVC will add internal Raw to the LS300 and it will look and work amazingly, and no one will care.

    The DSLR filmmaker community is funny. It's like "Gimme 8bit proxy, 10bit, RAW, Canon colour science, Log, 4K, IBIS, DPAF and HFR in one package, in A7S form factor, max 2500 bux. I need a silver bullet that covers all cinematography and videography scenarios but make it cheap because I'm not a pro and want to shoot flowers/cat in my garden with it. Also has to shoot on SD cards because Cfast is too expensive". 
    There's no silver bullet for everything in cinematography. Every camera body and ecosystem has its compromises. You can hold out for the perfect dreamworld unicorn camera, or you can pick up one that fits your shooting style and then actually shoot something.
    Also, the C200 looks awesome and exciting - and daaaymn, official 4K RAW on an affordable Canon frame, without the unreliability of hacking stuff. Had I not sprung for an UM4,6K recently I'd be throwing my money at the Canon.

    thought 1: those people just don't understand budgetting at all. it was minimal enough of a setup, that when factoring in the volunteers, they could have made a feature film on half of that. this part isn't evil probably, just weirdly ignorant
    thought 2: it must not actually have been a passion project. which it seems like you agree with? again, not evil, other than it being a lie. "I even chipped in a couple thousand dollars of my own money," was not spoken.
