Optical quality aside, putting an EF-S lens (wether 10-18, 17-55 etc) on a EOS-R doesn't make much sense if you are shooting FHD, since you are cropping in and getting results closer to 720p (not to mention losing FF FoV). Which is again why a lot of those DPReview shots appear so soft (EF-S+EIS+FHD).
Chris says Jordan is shooting 4K video.

GH5S or X-T3?

Similar DR, similar low light, both 10 bit, both high mbps
Those are just specs. Viewing the images side-by-side, the quality is noticeably different.

Is there a performance difference between the G85 and GH5 IBIS?
I haven’t used the feature myself, but IS Video Lock on the GH5 is supposed to really set it apart from the G85.

Jamie McPherson is something of a genius when it comes to rigging up gimbals on vehicles (and elephants) for tracking shots on rough terrain. Check out this one of a polar bear starting at 0:48.

The cheaper the camera, then the more "bad examples" you'll end up seeing.
And that has nothing to do with the camera inherently itself, but rather is due to the type of people who buy it due to its low price.How about the many great examples shot with the cheapest of them all, the Pocket? But my own experience is that I’ve seen lots of nice footage shot with the G85.

20 minutes ago, newfoundmass said:The XT3 is a very tempting camera but I don't think it's quite there yet. I think the GH5S is overall a better option, though I think I actually like how the XT3's image looks more. But the GH5 and GH5S are just hard to beat when it comes to the overall big picture.
I also just think it makes sense to go with the GH5S given you already have a GH5.
We share common ground there.
And two sets of lenses and trying to match colors not fun. And color aside, image quality is different as night and day.

For whatever it’s worth, Lloyd Chambers is also loving the Z7 to death over the a7r III but is grateful his Milvus and Otus lenses work with the FTZ adapter, because Nikon’s f/4 zoom doesn’t begin to compare to Zeiss.
But let’s be realistic - it’s not fair to compare a slow compact zoom to some of the world’s finest primes, especially ones weighing two pounds each and costing $4,000. Or is it?
A comparison I would like to see however is between Nikon’s f/4 zoom and Tamron’s 28-75mm E mount.

And who’s gonna attach a pro three-pound lens costing $3,000.00 on a less than pro body like that except for the reviewers? A show of hands?

I would not risk my media on Angelbird. I owned one of their cards for use in my GH5 (128GB V90) and it could not keep up. I had to send it to Austria for replacement. So number one, they’re not as widely available as orher brands. Two, their warranty might not be as good as say Sandisk or other brands. Three, looking on Amazon and B&H, there are only a few reviews and not all good, whereas Sandisk has got tons of reviews, overall favorable. A few dollars savings isn’t worth it. I think there are other less expensive reliable alternatives, just not Angelbird.

It’s sad. How hard can it be to make proper buttons in the first place?

And yeah pretty sure Jordan used a 17-55mm F2.8. I think they even said it in the video?
Your hearing’s still pretty good for an old man. ?
Right, they’re not shooting with the 10-18 - but there’s no reason they shouldn’t have been able to shoot sharp video with that lens either.

And Sareesh got a free loaner from BMD and his review of the P4K was impartial.

except sony.

Strongly agree with @DBounce : Panasonic has shortchanged us for years when it comes to fast zoom lenses.
The thing is, nobody would buy them anyhow, because they'd be prohibitively priced - in full frame territory.
And they'd be rather heavy and bulky.
Just like nobody here's going to purchase the PanLeica 10-25mm f/1.7.

Nice job, Dave and Andrew. Look forward to seeing more collabs.

I didn’t want to start a new topic for this, but here’s an interesting conversation with Jarred Land and Brent Carter, who talk about how the Sony a7 cameras paved the way for large format cinema cameras (just as they have with FF mirrorless), and how they prefer cine lenses with motors, which they say would be smaller, cheaper and one hundred times faster than the wireless control units used in productions. Jon Fauer says he sees Full Format as the biggest change in the business since movies went from silent to talkies.

At only $700, the G85 was the best camera dollar for dollar I’ve ever purchased in terms of handling, reliability and quality. Too bad Panasonic never updated it. 10-bit HLG would have been killer.

@webrunner5 what’s that about? ?

A super brief glimpse of the world’s first Canon R mount adapters I mentioned in an earlier post.

But is it repeatable? Can it hit eyelashes every time or does it struggle? ?
