  1. The point was not lost on Kai's viewers, either. One writes in the comments section:

    and another says:

    1.7x crop in 4k mode, horrible rolling shutter, 1x card slot. ¿ Overheating ?, I better stay with my Sony a7rii.

    TBH, not sure what he means by overheating. :)

    [...] PROFESSIONAL filmmakers will NOT lap this up. We don't use still cameras for serious filmmaking. As you show here, the rolling shutter is unbelievable even in normal HD, not to mention 4k. As a still camera its marvelous. I just cannot stop laughing when people think the video is acceptable, when it is orders of magnitude below a student film.

    Holy rolling shutter cow.

    An Alice in Wonderland Space "Odd"yssey shooting dungeon...WFT? Cropped 4K video...WTF? Heavy Rolling shutter...WFT? Humongoid Lenses...WFT? No in-camera stabilization...WFT? Fair low-light performance...WFT? Hey, uh, Canon...WTF, man??

     

  2. Fake news.

    not a single mention of the rolling shutter in 4K.

    Kai doesn't go hysterical over it because he probably wasn't expecting any better than Canon's 5D Mark IV, but he clearly expresses his disappointment.

    Not only does he mention the rolling shutter, he shows us an example of it.

    Will this come as a shocker to Canon shooters switching over from their DSLRs? I highly doubt it.

    The rolling shutter on the Nikon Z7 is worse than Sony's a7R III, but I don't see anybody shouting to the heavens about that camera either.

    You don't even mention rolling shutter in your preliminary look at the Z7.

    Problem is, you have no way of knowing who YouTube has agreements with.

    If you go to the audio library in the creator studio, you can see the current license policies of copyright holders.

    Oh yeah, I guess I don't really search for that stuff anymore. It was a horrible camera that everyone loved.

    Not sure whether that’s so or what that’s got to do with this discussion, though I do know many people still shoot with those cameras.

    Not being argumentative, just wondering what that’s got to do with this thread...

    Are you saying rolling shutter’s not such a big deal after all? Or that regardless of how poor a camera is, it will sell like hotcakes? ?

    If the rolling shutter in 4k is the same as a 5d mk IV, I'd say it's pretty much the same RS as on a sony 6300/6500. Or about-ish.

    How many of those youtubers reported a horrible RS on the a6300? I think it was discussed maybe at the this forum and then not much. It's just... a majority of users seem to still use these 4k cams in 1080p. I sold my a6300 and the guy who bought it uses always the 1080p50 mode because he wants the option to slowdown some shots. The thing is, in 1080p50 the camera looks horrendous.

     

    There are thousands of rolling shutter tests of the a6300 on YouTube.

  6. This is nothing new: Engadget, CameraLabs, Videomaker and DPReview all reported about the horrible rolling shutter issue over one month ago.

    I seriously doubt Canon outsells Panasonic just because a handpicked number of vloggers don't happen to mention rolling shutter in their hands-on and first impression reviews of the EOS R.

    First-look and first-impressions videos are just that and nothing more - not in-depth reviews - which is why Chris and Jordan refer viewers to DPReview's more detailed review on their website.

    This review kind of buries the lack of IBIS at the very bottom, likening it to the GH5s - a straight-up video camera if there ever was one - rather than comparing it to their direct rivals, Sony and Nikon - so can't exactly be considered unbiased.

    I do happen to have my own biases - I consider a 1.7X crop of much graver consequence than the lack of IBIS - and not a single reviewer mentioned in your article fails to mention it.

    Curiously, most also provide ample video samples, charts and tests along with their findings.

  7. Can anyone confirm or disprove that the Nikon 35mm f/1.8 Z mount lens suffers from huge focus shift (focus changes when stopping down from max aperture due to spherical aberration)?

    DId I just dream it or does the X-H1 have a setting for linear manual focus?
    Cant find it in my camera but since I dont have any native glass it might not be showing.

     

    You weren’t dreaming. The Setup Menus (BUTTON/DIAL SETTING)

    I’m still trying to figure out what ‘fuocs’ does. ?

    thx a lot.

    Dear Blackmagic,

    I need to work with camera, if I want a videogame I buy a video game. This is software bordering, they draw this line to force people to think they have a film inside the camera, to be be thrifty. this is a gameplay routine, I will not buy your camera until you grow up. it's an imposition there is something fascist in this stupid mentality.

    I actually believe there’s a good reason for this. I think it works the same way on professional cinema cameras like Arri and Red too.

    At ISO 1600, again surprising.

    Canon LOG on the EOS R is virtually noiseless, very smooth indeed, with abundant colour info.

    The X-H1 shot, same ISO, F-LOG, has more noise in the blacks and a harsher look overall. Why does Canon LOG keep so much colour info and the warmness of the light, whereas F-LOG washes it out?

    EOS R:

    Fuji X-H1:

    Not trolling, Andrew, but the Canon noise reduction appears to be smoothing out fine texture and detail and there's an unusual color fringing going on (green in the windowsill, red in the dresser) unless those are the actual colors - that is absent in the more detailed Fuji shot.

    May I ask what the WB was in this comparison?

    Are those graded samples? Because they both look rather underexposed for log. 

    Noise can always be reduced in post, detail cannot be added.

  11. An excellent discussion about all the new lens mounts (without all the fanboy hysteria).

    Do the new mounts mean that Nikon and Canon’s older mounts are by definition inferior?

    Will Sony have to go back to the drawing board and design a new mount from scratch?

    Has anyone in this forum ever felt that their current FF camera lens mount was holding back their creativity?

    Lastly, will anyone be able to afford the new 3-pound f/0.95 lenses made possible by the newer mounts?

    I already knew you had poor reading comprehension, but I should have known. That one is on me. You seem like you would be much happier staying in your sony/fuji forums. The only thing you do here is cry and provide false information. Oh yeah, and solicit photos of minors in vietnam while saying "hehehe".   

    That's really unacceptable.
