The catch is crappy 1080. One of the things I've enjoyed with the rx100 is being able to use this one tiny camera at all its "native" framerates with no caveats. (and the extended 250 fps in the right circumstances). So much to like about the 6300 but the 1080 quality means it's not for me

oh and failing to find out if the timelapse function can use electronic shutter.

A step up from the D5300? Can anyone tell me what the 1080 60p is like? And how the dynamic range compares? Are the shadows lift-able or does it fall apart like the gh2 did?

Doesn't it say 24 is full sensor reasout? I imagine 25 and 30 would be treated the same

Buggerybum. feel my interest in this camera crashing. Unless the 1080 is speccy

Yup. Looking very nice on paper. (Just have a minor wah for no ibis or nd, then slap myself for quibbling )

And there it is! Sorta.

Tokina 11-16 2.8, 11-20 f2.8 I've got both. You'd have to get an adapter of course. The pull click to manual focus thing sucks, and theres a bit of barrel distortion, but IMHO there's nothing else as fast as sharp. Also the sony 10-18 get very good reviews and less barrel distortion.

you know I'd love to know if the Japanese corporate culture worked like that. I find it hard to believe that sony could dictate terms to such a big customer, but it would be fascinating to be provided wrong . I suspect though tthatNikons focus is on stills and everything else is an afterthought.

Read a rumor that it'll be the same size as a6000, so there goes IBIS. But yeah mostly I think they won't want to cannibalize their FF sales. I love shooting with apsc - with a speedbooster it doubles the effective number of lenses you have. My main thing right now though is codec. I'm just getting into grading, (my backround is stils, i love extracting the juice from a shot :)) and its depressing how quickly h.264s fall apart even at decent data rates. I've now realised that I'm dreaming to think nikon will exploit their unique position in not having a video/cinema line. RAW on nikons would be immense - oh the dynamic range.

Which is why we should see them in an apsc camera first But sony seems to hobble its apsc cameras, maybe to protect its full frame or super-35 cameras. I had an a- 6000 for a while, it had a few nice things about it, but I ended up with the d5300 (the lease user friendly camera on the market??)

yeah, don't mean the fixed lens thing, I mean the bsi, the fps, the lovely 1080, the 100p/100, the built in nd...

After a couple of weeks shooting with it, I'm gobsmacked. Sure its got its foibles. (But... Built-in ND: hurrah!). Why they dont have this level of functionality on an apsc model (including 240fps thanks) I don't know (and I'd be amazed if the a6100 had it). Now I've started messing around with speedgrade to build some luts for it to try to get the greens and skies to match my d5300. Anyone know of any luts out there? (I'm using the cinestyle profile at the moment rather than log).

Find myself doing a search in windows for mp4 OR ARW OR XML OR MOV OR JPG OR MTS Copy and pasting all the files from the card into a single folder on my HD Did I miss anything? (not sure what the xml files do)

And just exporting a clip now that is taking FOREVER in h.265, (despite the fact I thought the GTX970 had hardware encoding support) And to clarify: I want to export clips that I've worked extensively on to a format I can re-use in projects and get decent playback (as opposed to my computer trying to playback 4+k de-noised graded timelapse sequences in realtime :)) Edit: Ohhh, optical flow was why it was taking ages, dnxhd is taking the same time

Just realised I can now export and use h.265 in my workflow. I've been slowly exporting my graded and tweaked clips but DNxHD has pretty large file sizes. Bearing in mind I might need to do a bit more tweaking later (just a little colour balancing stuff probably) and that the vast majority of clips will end up online, is h.265 up to the task? I'm currently exporting my first test at 50Mbps.

there's not much more to say than: Oh FFS, nikon.

http://www.engadget.com/2016/01/05/panasonic-new-lumix-camera/ Looks like it has no high frame rate hd, which is a relief as I bought the rx100 yesterday!

I agree about the 4K performance and cliff: editing anything 4K on my system becomes a nightmare. Sure files play fine, but as soon as you add a grade or transition you are constantly having to render in order to just to look at the footage play without skipping or stuttering. I'm not convinced (and the comments here seem to support) that any hardware upgrades wouldn't do much to help. I think back to the happy times I spent mucking about with media 100 on the mac and discreet logic effect on pc. Such fine bits of software, why didn't autodesk look to have a broad user base model for its business?

I'm a tragic rumor site reader: http://www.43rumors.com/ft5-panasonic-will-announce-a-new-1-inch-tz100-first-pictures-leaked/ f2.8-5.9. 25-250mm lens. I'd rather have more width than length any day, and the faster the better

thanks folks. Yes I saw the panasonic after posting this - I guess I'll hold off for a couple of days And your comments have made me feel better about dropiin gthe cash on it. I've finally seen it reduced in a sale here in Aus, so unless that panasonic is out at CES i'll have one in my hands next week woot!

Especially when the g7 is 30% cheaper and currently comes with a free 25mm? (And I already have a speedbooster and nikon G adaptor) And when the NX1 is only slightly more expensive. Ho Hum. I've got $1000 ish to spend. I shoot landscape and location stock footage and grabs of people in our area. I guess I'm trying to persuade myself that the rx100 would shoot decent enough footage to use as stock and be small enough for me to take literally everywhere, when even my d5300 becomes a pain in the bum. Is the stabilisation good enough to use it handheld - maybe at higher frame rates?

character - yes . I was thinking about this the last couple of days when I stumbled on some old gh2 footage. it has something that the gh4 does not.

seeing as you can use the graphics card in any new system you decide to get, i'd say this was a no-brainer upgrade

whats the data rate of those files? (I'm not a premiere fan, I remember version #1 and thought it was a mess - and still think it is, but I'm invested in it now). 100Mbit gh4 4k plays fine on my 5 year old windows (8) box in PP, whilst all 6 cores are in use rendering! Can't believe a single 4k file wouldn't play back on mac pro hardware - only if there were drivers not installed, or some other hardware or OS snafu. BTW I think this kind of test would be incredibly useful, I'd love to see more of them. Very curious how other software stacks up on the same hardware in different OSs.
