    Panasonic are forever playing catch up on specs as they can't compete on a level playing field with the smaller sensor.
    GH5 should start the transition to Super 35mm.
    Otherwise it will have to be seriously impressive to lure us away from Sony (raw, ProRes, 10bit, 120fps 4K) or to maintain any kind of uniqueness.

    wobba got a reaction from sanveer in Sony RX10 II review final conclusion and introduction to its smaller brother, RX100 IV   
    How does 4K on the RX100 IV compare to the LX100?

    To imagine how many Micro Four Thirds primes you're getting in with the deal, here's what the aperture does throughout the range :)
     
    11mm - F1.7 (24mm equiv. taking into account 2.2x crop)
    16mm - F2.3 (35mm)
    22mm - F2.7 (50mm)
    34mm - F2.8 (75mm)
     
    Not bad for $899, though I am sure the LX200 will end up with an OLED EVF and F2.0 at a 50mm long end (110mm).

    wobba reacted to Quirky in Sony A7S Review Part 2 and Conclusion   
    That was intended as a friendly pun for sure, but the comment does actually have a point, anyway. The EOSHD name may have felt cool back in the day, but it, along with any name linked to a single brand and model, becomes a branding ballast rather than a branding asset at some point. 
     
    Here's a recent example from the photography blogging world. Surely you have heard of an Aussie bloke called Matt Granger? 
    He was and still is a photographer and a YouTuber with a relatively large following. In YouTube and in social media he was known as That Nikon Guy.  Surely that felt cool at the time, but before long his appearances online had more and more to do with all but Nikon gear. A personal brand tied to an industry brand is always a big risk, and it's bound to become a burden at some point. Like it did in his case.   So even though Matt had branded himself as That Nikon Guy, he took the risk of changing his well known but increasingly obsolete online brand and changed it to something more generic yet unique, his own name.   The risk paid off, as he did it soon enough and quickly enough, and apparently his online success didn't take any significant hit. Looks like he's doing even better these days, with a new and snappier Get Your Gear Out slogan, and being his own brand rather than being tied to any camera brand.     The point of this (somewhat OT) story is not to promote Mr. Granger, I don't even subscribe to his YouTube channel, but just as a relevant example.  Perhaps a similar move might be a good idea for EOSHD, too. After all, a new domain will only cost around $30 and then $10 per year, and your online community wouldn't disappear because of a new, more appropriate name. It would work even better in the long run, bringing you more new readers who now may be put off or distracted by the Canon (dSLR)-related brand name, at least in the initial search results. Just saying.  -_-     The world is changing, life is a stage and the players in the play keep changing through time. Even big names exit the stage at some point, giving room for new names. To be or not to be? That is the question. Would we be better off trying to block the door to the stage, or would we be better off seeing daylight through that open door?  :P

    wobba got a reaction from Edward Zaee in 4K for $899 with the Panasonic FZ1000 - but beware the quirks!   
    This could have been near perfect except for two, maybe three, showstoppers.  
     
    1. Lousy 28mbps bit rate for 1080P
    2. No in-built ND filter (tiny cameras like the Ricoh GR and RX100m3 can accommodate one).
    3. Panasonic need to stop living in the 70's and do away with this NTSC/PAL mentality. Why are they still doing one lot of bodies with NTSC frame rates and a different lot with PAL rates.  This is BS!

    I have zero interest in this camera, but this is the most thoroughly enjoyable/hilarious review I have ever read.  
     
    These hollow, plastic DSLR's are akin to Fisher-Price kiddies cameras in terms of haptics. Perhaps this is the reason the D5300 features a Baby mode.
