There is banding throughout his video. It may be a mix of 10-bit at 4-2-0 internal and the fact that probably uploaded at a lower quality on YouTube.

The curious thing about the Blackmagic event I attended, was that after I joked that I was planning to save some footage, for which I was specifically carrying 2 fast cards, one of the executives from Singapore told me that each of the various Blackmagic cameras touring the world, had a different firmware (actually functionality), and Many features were disabled. So the likelihood of me getting any footage of consequence out of it was unlikely. Which seemed true, since the camera I handled for about 10-15 mins, also only had like 1 flavour of ProRes (I think it was HQ). Why I said this, is That Blackmagic are taking the cameras across, but I am not sure they have the firmware ready in all their cameras. I also found the company to be rather approachable, with almost none of the major corporate red tapism. Maybe they are just waiting to be asked. Atleast that way you would know whether they have more than 1-2 fully functional prototypes, and you could get your hands on one. At the Manchester event, you would have not really have had a chance to test the camera. Like the Blackmagic executive mentioned, each of the touring cameras have had most of their features disabled. It would have, therefore, in all likelihood, been an exercise in futility, in attempting to really test the camera there. Ask them to test a camera, and sign an Non Disclosure to release your review after the official launch. Best of Luck. I feel they may agree.

I think people Grossly underestimate the power of marketing and distribution. Canon has way better market reach than everyone else in the camera business, put together. And they have huge networks for advertising anywhere and everywhere, and arguably the best after sales too. That's how they regurgitated the same sensor on the 550D and so many cameras after that, without a word a protest from anyone. Plus it's only since the GH4 that ILCs have started upping the ante in video. The GH5, in many ways, is like a mini C100 or C300, at much lower cost, and Many other tricks up its sleeve. IBIS, continuous video recording way above 30 mins, and 10-bit internal in itself is huge. I also suspect that Canon's development in sensors is the opposite of Sony. It's slow, there are very few models, and a lot of tech is highly exgerrated and never really makes into mass production (like that 4million ISO sensor hardly has enough videos online go even show it exists). But Canon is still probably the biggest spender on advertising and still has the widest market reach, where distribution is concerned. Sony is the only true competition, and I have seen Sony in way too many countries, available in all sorts of stores and online. Also, the A7s really pushed the A7 lines to replace many Canon and Nikon cameras for Professionals. Only sales figures for the C line would reveal whether Canon is scared of affecting sales (and much higher profit margins in that line) foe the Cinema line.

It's for NEXT year. For now, they have Only made enough samples for testing and handing out. But this is Great News. Non-niche and the consumer and prosumer sensor market doesn't have enough players of consequence. Sony is one of the only players who makes some superb sensors, and in enormous numbers. Other players make sensors which aren't as great, and much smaller numbers. I think Sony missed a HUGE opportunity by not picking up the Toshiba Sensor division.

That and making the cakera swapping seem so company process confined, is a ice way yo make mote profits.

The battery life seems disappointing (less than an hour). The crop is minor (though in APS-C). Video files splitting is strange. Recording time limit is disappointing. Sony has ILCs and smartphones that shoot HLG in 8-bit 4-2-0, so yes it is apparently possible. Fuji may be saving the IBIS and fully articulating screen for its top end model. Maybe even 20-30 min time limit I am unable to understand why someone cannot give us 100mbps H.265 10-bit 4-2-2 Video.

I realised that the Mavic 2 Pro saves HDR photos with14 stops of dynamic range, as JPEGs . If the Mavic saved these as 10-bit HEIFs instead, it could improve things for grade, considerably. It could be the perfect middle ground between JPEG and RAW, with boosted dynamic range.

I don't know Why, but I have an l16 Light Camera kind of feeling about this. Grossly over-hyped. It may have an interesting 3D screen, but in my guess, it won't change the course of smartphones. Also the camera modules will push it into the highend FF Price range. And would it be truly pocketable afttgr that. There is a HUGE need for way better photos from smartphones (and everything else pocketable). Though it should be pocketable, nd it should cost an arm and a leg. With a processor (SoC) that is 2-3 generations behind other Flagships, when it is finally released.

Or the main body has the writing being done, and it also has the battery (apart from some commin controls between the 2 drone types, someone had swapped the cameras and they seemed to work pretty well). Think of it like the 10-bit 4-2-2 writing via the HDMI/ type-C that the new Full Frame Mirrorless Cameras seem to be offering. Even some LEDs have it (like a control panel Away from the light structure, instead of embedded at the back of the light structure, to help heat dissipation).

I am suddenly wondering why can't everyone can offer 10-bit 4-2-2 internally if the tiny Mavic 2 Pro can. That camera looks 1/3rd-1/4th the size of the various mirrorless ILCs being announced, using MicroSD cards (instead of XQD, CFast or and full sized SD Cards), and Many other size limitations. It's sensor is obviously much smaller, but so are other factors on that one. If Panasonic can get PDAF, theoretically, it can beat almost every FF out there, as a complete package.

I saw the review on dpreview (on their YouTube channel), along with the mini comparison with the GH5. The shadow recovery and colour correction seems difficult in post (in comparison). The 10-bit internal is 4-2-0 of the Fuji. It seems very strange to put it politely. The Autofocus had improved vastly. And face tracking in video seems almost as good as Sony (it seems yo have similar 495 autofocus points as the Sony, incidentally).

Huge crop and slow photo shooting Rates. It's like a recycle of old Canon parts in a new Mount.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha Frakin Hilarious. Panasonic should feel ashamed. They're generating more hype than Smartphone Flagship Launches.

There are Many things you haven't heard of. That's why you aren't called the Oracle. This is not a rumour. I Know people who have bought fake Nikon cameras. I haven't bought a Nikon or Canon in ages, so it didn't happen with me. Do an online search before you attempt to call someone's information fake. You would look less misinformed and arrogant.

It seems like Canon and Nikon are secretly working together.

Wow. I am just a little worried about Panasonic's claimed International Warranty (I had a terrible experience after picking up a GX85 from Australia when there were some quality control issues that Panasonic was unable to solve DESPITE sending it for servicing across 2 continents). Otherwise it seems pretty cheap to fly down and pick a few GH5.

I am sure some people may disagree, but IMHO the majority of Panasonic woes wrt to sales have been due to Bad Marketing and After Sales. And with the LX100 ii, not listening to customers' feedback. If the rumours about the GH and GX line were true, there would be no LX100 ii. The link shared (https://lumix.panasonic.eu/photokina-en/) seems to imply that 4 new cameras are going to be released at Photokina, so the GX and GH line-up being the sole cameras for the future also seem to make no sense. Panasonic needs a Completely New Marketing and Advertisment Team. Also, their after sales is very disappointing. Their distribution has improved substantially, but there is still a lot of scope in that area.

I thought about it. If Panasonic actually introduced a Full Frame ILC (instead of this new FF Varicam), it would crash their M43 Market. Users would panic and wonder whether Panasonic has moved to a different format. Rumours alone would make it lose market share big time. Has it been at that price for a long time, or only recently. In Nikon or even Canon, if prices are unusually low, then it means that those are fake products. They do work and have most of the features of the original product. They sometimes exhibit more noise and may not be able to shoot at the full mentioned frame rate. Or maybe the pics are 12-bit instead of 14-bit.

The 1st file has a Crop wrt to the 2nd one.

Could you share some link to this fact about the fov being the same for 8-bit and 10-bit. I could be wrong, but all documentation so far, proves things otherwise.

Apart from PDAF, they could easily handle everything else. Maybe they will use the Olympus full frame lenses that Olympus has been patiently patenting over the last 5 years. Or get Sigma to design cheaper Leica Mount lenses for them. It seems too speculative. More than anything I am curious to know how M43 users feel about the apparent rumour.

They won't be able to do it in Anything EXCEPT a cinema camera. An 8k Varicam.

Actually I think the rumour may be correct. Only that it will be a Cinema Camera like the Varicam with a Full Frame sized sensor (larger than the sensor on the Varicam). It won't be a consumer camera. Right now Panasonic has too many issued with getting a FF Consumer/ Prosumer Camera: 1. Lack of PDAF. It can't use its DFD for Full Frame. 2. No FF lenses yet. If it uses the Leica Mount, it will have to create affordable lenses and a lot more than those currently on offer. There are Many other things it needs to do too.

In Dual Native ISO cameras, the higher native ISO always has More noise. Check the video embedded below. https://www.newsshooter.com/2018/08/28/kinefinity-mavo-lf-dual-native-iso-birtv-2018/

"What is the difference between Full FOV mode and HQ mode under Mavic 2 Pro’s 4K resolution? Full FOV down samples from the 5.5K sensor to 4K resolution while HQ crops in the center for finer image quality but less FOV. Full FOV view is 75° and HQ view is 55°. You can select between them according to your actual shooting demands.." From the FAQ sector on DJI's site. https://m.dji.com/product/mavic-2 Sounds very unusual. Not because it wouldn't seem possible, but because DJI is then releasing a half finished product. But apparently the Mavic 2 is getting a new controller woth a build in LCD Screen, so there is a small likelihood that this may be possible.
