look at loss of FACIAL highlight detail as ISO increases. Not great test as it was not under low light, so highlight loss could be simple blowout or NR.

And look at the ISO 3200 and 6400 shots!  They're  done in vLogL which previously fell apart at high ISO.

There is a Dual IBIS Firmware update for the 12-35. Ver. 1.3.

I am not sure if the list above referred to the older 12:35 or to the new one. 

I refer to the "old" one. 

The old me is listed by its Mega OIS system, and the new one has a Power OIS system

Dear Philip,

thank you for good news.  Do you have any official roadmap were this information stems from.

Thank you.

I am considering a purchase of P 42.5 1.7 or PL 42.5 1.2 Nocticron.  Do you know whether these lenses will be compatible Dual IS 2 on GH5 or there will be a mark ii version? Thank you.

The f1.2 will have a firmware update late in 2017 to make it Dual IS 2  compatible.

Doesn't the gh4 score 13 stops on dxo?

I'm happy with 12 stops... but maybe it will be a little more.

The 10 bit footage had at least a stop of recovery in the highlights.... maybe we can overexpose?

DXO tests RAW stills, until we have RAW video these results are meaningless for video DR. DXO texts sensor potential, not codec implementation in video.

There is some H265 going on with this camera.

I wrote this before I got to posts that said the same thing. Cannot delete so I apologize, Mod delete please.

On one video they say that the anamorphic mode will be H265 6K.  

 

Everyone assumes that the XC15 fixes this issue, but that is based on a single camera. Hardware issues may not show up in every sample.  Remember that some people reported that they did not have a ghosting issue with their XC10s. Therefore it is dangerous to assume that all XC15s do not have this issue. We need more tests.

The C100 mkii has a larger dual pixel focus area than mki. Worth the added cost 

It was a buy it now deal.  I just missed  it

Unless Canon has completely changed their numbering scheme the XC15 is exactly  the same image as the XC15.

IQ was explained in the video as a consequence of 8mpx crop of 20mpx sensor, slow lens and noise being interpreted as focus by focus peaking, so some shots were mis-focused. Also missing was v-log.

It was universal.  In every shot. Even when his hair is in focus. The same processing error that plagued the DVX200, even down to bands of discoloration on the face.  Not that evident in the G80/81/85

Panasonic G85/G80 and FZ2500 Review. G85 video review is short, but they shot the FZ2500 part with it.

 

The G85 review was shot on a FZ2500. Is it me or does the FZ2500 makes faces chalky, obscuring detail, and did it once create banding on the face as the original iteration of the DVX200 did?

Well the next Panasonic FZ will record 4K at 200 Mbps, which is double the current rate. Might make a big difference. The XC10 records at 300 I think, so perhaps that is the key with the smaller sensors, as many love the XC10 video.

Only HD is at 200 Mbps, 4k is only 100 Mbps

DJI website says the Osmo Mobile works with iPhone Plus models.

i tested the new firmware with high ISO HD. was not not happy with results.

 

As someone pointed out earlier in this thread, when Canon adds a "5" to the end of a X series model number it means only the addition of a SDI output, and sometimes timecode. This happened with the XA10/15, XA20/25.XA30/35. XF100/105, and XF300/305. I would be shocked if it was any different with the XC10/15.

21mm wide, try carrying that in your slim jeans.

So, basically "Wide DR Gamma" means just an intermediate gamma between REC709 and Canon Log. It's reported by Canon to measure 800%, which as I explained before, means that it adds [b]three more stops[/b] of dynamic range compared to REC709. It is a less extreme gamma than Canon Log, making it somehow usable without -or with little- grading in post, not a bad idea indeed.

Canon website:

[b]Canon Log Gamma and Wide DR Gamma[/b]
Canon Log Gamma preserves shadow and highlight detail for maximum editing and grading in post-production without degrading image quality; contrast and sharpness are subdued with characteristics similar to negative film. Canon Log Gamma emphasizes rich gradients from mid-range to highlights and realizes 12-stops of Dynamic Range (DR). At ISO850, Canon Log Gamma enables 5.3 stops of latitude above optimal exposure (and 6.7 stops below), broadening the available dynamic range in color grading.

[color=#000000][size=2][size=4]Wide DR Gamma is based on Rec. 709 and is optimized for monitor output or situations requiring less color grading in post-production. Wide DR Gamma exhibits high dynamic range, suppressing brightness while maintaining seamless gradations. A wide dynamic range of 800% preserves latitude for post-production work, but Wide DR Gamma is designed for perfect color "out-of-the-box."[/size][/size][/color]

Auto how well will AVCHD grade with log images? Perhaps wide DR log is just the limit of AVCHD in post.

canon support told me it supported one button AF for all EOS AF lenses but it supported continuous AF on STM lenses via an upgrade next year

canon support are the ones saying 4:2:0 output
