    Have you shot any 5D III RAW footage? As for narrative at least for me it also blows away any GH4, A7S. For event filming and such I would agree to shoot on a A7SII or GH4, as the edit needs to be delivered fast.

    I dont give a crap about specs. I care about how it preforms. Just look at the Sony A7sii, a6300 and GH4. Great specs but suck ass compared to a 5Dmkiii.
    A Red Scarlet, Sony FS5 or FS7 all have great specs but cant touch the image from a D16, R1MX or what have you.
    IMO of course.
    Another image that I think kills the GH4, Sony Ax etc is the 8-Bit 4:2:2 from the XC10. So if the 5Dmkiv has the same codec but on a large sensor... winner. 
    Side Note:
    Don't you just love how some when asked to show examples of how good a camera is send you a chart or a number instead of an actual image...
    Got to love the internet.

    Since when did 4k60p become a must have on a DSLR!?  This spec chasing will just go on and on and on.
    Is that the same Canon that ALREADY have a 4K60p camera (1DX-II)?
    Is that also the same Canon that have the best 4K image quality of any hybrid/dslr (1DC)?
    Is that the same Canon that "finally jumped into 4K" 3 years ago (1DC)?
     
     
    If it has an image similar to the 1DX-II, it will be a nice camera... 4:2:2 mpeg is actually really nice. Will be interesting to see if ML take a look under the hood.

    We must live on different planets Dave - I've bought and returned $1000 used cameras from B&H after using them for maybe 75 clicks and felt extremely guilty about returning them.  Not take a $5k camera on two international trips and then openly discuss returning it to Adorama on a popular website.
    Clearly doing paid work and then returning the gear used is a dick move IMO, but then to mention the details in a public forum is even worse.  But what do I know.

    Well let's see - had he bought a NEW one I certainly could see that - but he bought a used one for $5k a month ago.
    It's not a $3k hit by any stretch, and B&H (and Adorama) both show their used 1dc's as "unreturnable".  Unless there are $2k used 1dc's out there, I highly doubt he took a 3k hit.  But, clearly none of you work on the business sales side of things - what did Adorama do wrong here?  They sold him a product; he used it for professionally and mentioned several times how much he loved it.  We all make gambles buying used gear as far as price.
    Just because you can doesn't mean you should.  But, we all have our own set of principles.  Carry on...
    So it's ok because they're a huge company?  You sound like a typical Democrat.
    To reiterate - they didn't see any usage because he only took video, which doesn't register on the shutter count.
    B.  No $5k hit; he bought used.
    C.  Adorama sold him a good working camera that he took out of the country twice and got paid to use for free.
    If this is fine by you to "stick it to the man" then that's fine.  I just don't do things like this, big company or small.

    I owned the 1dc.  The 108060 is softer than the 5d3's 1080p24/30.  It looks like upscaled 720p to me.
    So you took the camera on two international trips and used it extensively and still returned it for a full refund?

    I don't want government having any type of power of anything someone can do on a website or software. They would be able to shut you down on anything (they) seem is illegal. They could shut down this site because gear is being sold and they're not getting taxes from it. I just know government shouldn't have to much power over anything plain and simple.

    Huh? I would bet they've made a ton of money on the cinema line. In Canon's last annual report the Cinema line was spotlighted as a segment for horizontal expansion moving forward - in other words its something they're plowing more resources in order to expand its reach. This isn't something they would do if they "lost a ton of money." We already have rumors of mkIII versions. The KPI's and gross profit ratio's show high margin cameras are doing well for them as unit volume decreases. Expanding the Cinema EOS reach is part of the next 5-year phase of their long term strategy, again not likely if it were not making money. The C100/300's have become one of the standard cameras in TV and news production, and virtually every rental house stocks them. All of those cameras you listed share components with high volume models which lowers development costs.

    Mattias seems to have better search engines than I do for his 1dc and 5d3 pricing.  Everything I've seen is the 5d3 is holding onto the $1800k US mark (Plenty of people tried the Sony route and are buying back in; tired of adapters, poor ergonomics and fiddly adapters).  Hell it may have gone up a bit price-wise in the last few months IMO.  I'm on my 3rd 5d3 now having owned the first one for 2+ years.  They never stopped working; I just buy and sell too much gear.

    Too bad, Ebrahim contributed a lot. I hope he makes it right. 
    I'd post this to his ads so nobody else gets scammed, especially that reply.

    Agreed.. something really weird about the motion. Will have to wait for real life tests to get a proper idea. Right now it's looking way too 'video'.
    Also am I the only one to find Fuji film simulations a bit over rated? Never been a fan of heavy baked in looks.
    It is an interesting concept, at least for still photography but the film simulations have nothing a proper LUT would give you imo.
    No IBIS, External F-log, Rolling shutter issues, limited/expensive native lens ... meh.. It sounds to me like Fuji is just jumping on the filmmaker bandwagon, but do they really have the chops? I guess it's still nice Sony finds itself a competitor..
    Hopefully a real non-sponsored test will give the full breakdown, I certainly won't be the beta tester for yet another compromised new hybrid system.. hyped up solely on the premise of 4K and some "cool" retro picture profiles..
