The body is just ridiculous. I have trouble handling the D4 with the 200-400 f4, what's the Point of this Camera?

No mention of the NX1 Camera justice Warriors?

I'm afraid Mr. Butterling is still waiting for his parcel to arrive. 
Btw, I was really looking forward to @Ed_David 's documentary. (Super Dangerous Endeavour because Ebrahim Salamis Hood is dangerous for hostile foreigners)

Because its funny
I specially like how he refers to himself as "them" and talks about the EOSHD as a "fiasco".

A7siii AF sucks.
A7siii battery life sucks.
A7siii touch screen sucks.
Have I missed anything? (just getting in early before the chorus starts).

There is no hope for E - YT, Comments section: https://youtu.be/XCYlTNHNXiI Btw, did the police find his stolen EOS-1D C?
 
 

oh and this is my single favorite post of all time @Nikkor
 

I found the original Red (pre-MX) to be borderline broken. I think I used one of the first ones a few months after it came out and everything about it was awful, ergonomics were horrible, color was a complete joke, incredibly noisy except when rated at around 250-400 ISO which meant it clipped faster than a Canon dSLR and it did not produce an acceptable image in tungsten light color because it was too noisy under any conditions when starved of blue light, very soft OLPF that made it softer than most 1080p cameras today, and even when they fixed the color processing in redcine it still had a green tint to tungsten light. I would rate it at about the same dynamic range as a 7D and much slower, but with a good smooth image with nice tonality and absolutely zero aliasing. In full day light you can get a nice image from it but with very limited dynamic range. But look at the Informant, every tungsten-lit scene is bright orange for a reason, they had to process 3200K-lit scenes at 5600K or else the image would have been unacceptable. That said, the movie looks decent overall. With heaps of light it had a better image than you get today from dSLRS etc. But it was essentially broken out of the box, which makes it more impressive to me that the Dragon/DXL is pretty darned great now (minus some color issues that remain, but which a talented colorist can largely fix)!  The Red has a bit of a more digital look than the Alexa and I think in the long run the digital look will be more popular than film, sharper and punchier color, more familiar to YouTube audiences while still very high end and impressive. The new Red stuff has a more digital look in arguably a good way, just not my style. 
I also feel the Red One was harder than an Alexa or F55 for a one man band to operate (I think two people could effectively use an Alexa on a slower-paced set, you just need a full team to move as fast around a narrative set as possible) because it takes 90 minutes to boot up and has short battery life and crashes a lot. But with new firmware, etc. I bet it's usable now. I think you can get a slightly better image than a GH2, for instance, under similar conditions, but that it's not worth the effort. I would rather have a CX00 or any Sony cinema camera that shoots RAW or at least properly implemented 10 bit SLOG3/SGAMUT3 (because their color is broken on their cameras that don't) by far though. The F5 and F55, neither of which I particularly like, are orders of magnitude better than the original Red, and slightly beyond the MX. Their RAW is competitive with the Dragon, even. The Alexa doesn't need RAW its image processing is so advanced and refined.
The Red MX, while still clunky to operate, is still quite formidable, however. Social Network looks good. Fincher processes all his films through a very expensive post process (Lowry process) that costs up to seven figures per feature, and that's one reason those movies look so smooth and so good and clean, but he still shot them on just a regular Red MX. The image is nearly on par with the C500 but it is softer, with worse color, etc. but also a little bit less of a digital sharpening edge. 
I wouldn't want one for free lol but other people like them! The Red One MX is a pretty solid performer, however, and potential bargain for someone with the time to babysit a slower-to-operate camera, you might love it. The original I think is just too clunky.

Maybe Zach is doing the dpreview forums together with Dr Ebrahim and his son/grandchild

Yeah sure Jimmy, but they should have.

Hello everybody!
This forum has been a place of great discussions. Learned so much.
The most fun has always been to discover about obscurities and oddities, fi.
regarding lenses like the 28 85 f4 Tokina flare monster. Or the secrets of
getting 60p on European Lumix cams or the odyssey of a young filmmaking kid Zak
with an obscure lens for his beloved Canon Ti. So much passion and possibilities
of discovering things. All the great fun stuff beyond the ordinary 3 light setup for video interviews!
I would love to see more of that from all of you great contributors!
Thanks so much for everything and please keep the tasty tips n tricks n awesome ideas rollin!
Hope Zak is doing great and chimming back in some day, if he likes to do so!
cheers, Marty

This guy reminds me of every bad, psychopathic boss I've ever had. Which is 2. He reminds me of both of them.

I'm on my holidays, otherwise I'd be all over this. A1ex just posted"
"new build posted (minor fixes + experimental 8/10/12-bit lossless)."
Gamechanger? Somebody please load that up right now!

He is smart though... might as well use the newest, most in demand cameras and link to them in your vlogs... KA CHING... shit he's linking to cameras he didn't even use in that video... cover all the effin bases...

Urgh! I hope they can make active d-light in 4k available for the d820/d850 or whatever it will be called and full frame 4K.  Its my last hope to remain a nikon shooter. 
Crop is aparently 1.5x

Bitrate is 144mb/s. 
D-light and stabilization is only available in HD. 
Limitations of electronic stabilization is understandable, but I don't know why they couldn't make D-light ready for 4k. Implemented correctly, it has potential to become a must have feature in video shooting. Maybe lifting shadows of every 4k frame is tough job for its still-optimized CPU. 

STAY WELL AWAY. POOR QUALITY and DOESNT work on Wide angle Pentax 645 lenses.

Sooo, I finally bought this after coming across it on a few blogs (here included) and just wanted to post this quick update so that other people don't waste their money.

Upon receiving the adaptor I immediately went about buying a bunch of 645 lenses and was pretty excited by the promise of this adaptor for my A7Rii. HOWEVER, the quality of the optics is pretty poor and as someone mentioned there's a lot of smearing towards the sides of the image.

Then things got worse. When trying to attach my Pentax 645 45mm lens to it I found that it wouldn't even connect to the adaptor. After a lengthy email exchange with the supplier they finally admitted that it DOESN'T ACTUALLY WORK with wide angle Pentax lenses!!!!!!
Guess that might have been a useful thing to have known. 

Anyway, now I'm stuck with trying to get my money back. 

As the saying goes...'if it looks too good to be true'........

What would a lens at that's 45mm F2.8 on a medium format camera need to be on a M43 cam in order to hit the same DOF equivalency?  Or, how about a 80mm f1.9?  
Same question for those lenses to achieve similar DOF equiv. on a full-frame camera?
Having exceptionally shallow DOF with a wide FOV while shooting motion pictures does create a cool effect.  Kind of a 3D-separation-from-the-background-illusion...and then there's the subjective issue of bokeh --and also how big glass/focal plane light gets bent in that medium-format-way; as it needs to fall across a larger space.  I don't know how to exactly explain it...is it sort of a parallax thing, maybe?

They gain Customers because the 5D has no 1080 60fps mode?

I used to read Cinema5D articles quite regularly, previously. But ever since their bluff has been called about their obviously biased reviews, I avoid them like the plague.

Cinema5D vídeos are so posed I can't take them serious.

Can't tell if troll or fool.

Some very nice shots in there.
