    Escapist reacted to IronFilm in 5D mark IV. Is it just a baby 1DX II?   
    Exactly. Classic Canon. Overpriced. Under delivering.
     
    I wouldn't say no to buying a Canon camera, but only if I get it at waaay under market price. Which is how I purchased my Canon 50D

    In comparison, the top article at Cinema5D is about a wireless control system that costs "only $1,200." That should tell you how relevant they are.

    EOSHD is not an odd case, nearly all the major sites are named after cameras:
    DVXUser - Panasonic DVX100
    Cinema5D - Canon 5D Mark II
    REDUser - RED
    This isn't really how it works with most people, as they come from a Google search and click the article because it's relevant to them - i.e. Sony or Panasonic posts. So it is immediately apparent both the blog and forum cover non-Canon gear.
    Times change and Canon might bounce back and start dominating. So changing to align with current Sony/Panasonic trends may be a waste of time as brands have to live forever.
    Reidvision wouldn't be so bad but it says nothing about 'cameras'
    I like short and snappy!
    Thanks for the feedback though I do see where you're coming from
    Most important thing for me is the site works well, looks clean, no shitty advertising, thriving community forum, great content, strong personal opinions, not in bed with PR industry.

    Did you try turning off background rendering? I have had no problems with lag and stutter since I did that with the plug in. Preferences -> Playback.
    I would like to know if it helps for others.

    Escapist reacted to BTM_Pix in Canon 5D Mark IV Officially Adds C-log for $99   
    'Current EOS 5D Mark IV camera owners can have the Canon Log feature upgrade installed for $99 at any of the Canon service centers across the U.S. starting in July.'
    WTF??
    Looks like Canon have noted Panasonic's "we'll send you it in the mail" approach to log upgrades and gone "Nah, fuck that....lets go utterly retro and make them actually physically bring the camera to us to have it done".
    Strikes me as a bit suspicious that you have to take it to them. Is this their sneaky way of getting a firmware and hardware mod on that locks Magic Lantern out of it permanently thereby ensuring no one gets a free ride from buying future Canon cameras whilst simultaneously making them $99 a time for the upgrade and saving them that darn $2.99 on postage into the bargain? Fiendish if so.

    Escapist reacted to The Chris in How to Kill Piracy by 2017   
    As a taxpayer, I think the government has bigger things to worry about than digital piracy, any policing of this is a waste of time and government resources and any lawmaker that spends a second worrying about it - at least here in the U.S. - is usually bought and paid for by entertainment industry lobbyists. The endless extension of copyright laws is a perfect example.
    Any proposal to create an organization to police a medium of free speech seems incredibly overreaching, Nazi and Communist comparisons are appropriate.
    And no matter what, it still wouldn't stop piracy.

    Escapist got a reaction from vaga in How I got scammed through "Ebrahim Saadawi"   
    Ebrahim, wrote a massive article on here which he let me edit and re-publish on my site for free, so this is certainly a very weird situation.
    If what Ebrahim says is true, we should at least try to investigate it and try to remove the blame from him as best we can. Wouldn't it be wrong not to? 
    1. Andrew, is there a way to determine the IP Addresses that logged in to Ebrahim's account during those replies to those transactions?
    2. As a challenge to Ebrahim, this person had access to your physical gear and 3 of your accounts (EOSHD, DVXUser, and Facebook). That sounds like someone very close to you.

    Good for you Ebrahim on confessing. I just want to say that since you're part of this community ,if you were in a tough spot and needed some help we would've done whatever possible to help you out. I know that we could've gathered a group to donate. Same goes to anyone in the future. If you can prove the situation to be real.

    In a forum like EOSHD, video proof will only generate more questions. Was it a 1DC with 8-bit C-Log or an A7S using PP1? How accurate are the skin tones?

    Vimeo now supports free uploading of 1080p and 4k videos. Before they only did 720p. So they gave some, and then took some. They have to make money somehow without ads everywhere.

    Escapist reacted to IronFilm in Nikon to E-Mount focal reducer - lens types?   
    If using a focal reducer just use the next step up in sensor size coverage at a minimum
     
    Thus if using a focal reducer use FX lenses on APS-C sensor
    Or DX lenses on MFT sensors if using a focal reducer 
     
    But yes, if just using a straight adapter then a DX lens will be fine on an A6300

    Escapist reacted to luminescence in Stolen GH2, GH3 and lenses in France   
    Thanks one and all for your feedback, I will follow up on some of your tips. I think I resigned myself in the first ten minutes that I would never see all the gear again. To answer one question, yes I think there are highly organised gangs in France that know how to target people. I may have even been followed as a lone driver when driving my motorhome from Italy to Portugal through southern France. I stopped for the night at a truck stop and was robbed while I was fast asleep in the middle of the night. I kid you not, they broke into the camper through the passenger door by forcing the lock and must have had a torch. I am usually a fairly light sleeper, I did not hear a thing probably because I was exhausted from driving the day before. They got credit cards, passport and cash as well. One would not think to take precautions when "safely" locked in the van but people are becoming more devious and desperate these days, so all travelers have to be prepared "as if". I usually hide my camera bag under a storage seat but left it in my wardrobe that night. I left my wallet and passport in my shorts on the seat, they should have been taken out and hidden away. Even experienced travelers like myself for the past 20 years can get caught out by letting your guard down for a moment. Now I strap up my front doors with rubber straps, so even if they forced the locks, it would be impossible to open the doors. If I had woken up and disturbed them, who knows what might have happened if they were armed so I figure I got off lightly.

    This site might help for tagging your gear. https://www.lenstag.com
    Also maybe the authorities can track the use of your credit card with the person who stole everything else?
