One guy wanted a discount on a new camera if they would disable the video features !
I've read that too, many times! Crazy
What they don't realise is: good video = sells more cameras.
More cameras sold = more cameras to spread fixed costs over.
Lower fixed costs = lower priced cameras for everyone! (including "pure" photographers)- Aussie Ash and kidzrevil

Did the canon t6i and newer DSLRs with their new 24MP sensor do any better with video? How did they compare to the competition?
As we know Canon 18MP APS-C DSLRs were quite awful. -

You can see however they're filming with a big bulky cinema camera. So certainly nothing video related.

the Sony A5100 - with about the same body size and weight as the M100 - is dated, has an inefficient, convoluted interface and most significantly lacks an equivalent of the 22mm/f2 lens.
Am disappointed that Sony never updated the a5100 :-( I liked that little guy, I had one myself.
However there is indeed such a lens for it! The Sony 20mm f/2.8 pancake lens, which is close enough. -

The best part about this new Fuji imo is that it spawned this article: https://www.fujirumors.com/photographers-anonymous-hate/
Quoting this for no other reason than how awesome this article is.
Read it.Laugh.
Read it again.
Laugh some more!

It all started with the 5D mark 2 - instead of fueling that fire.... they threw water on it and said lookey over here... cinema line! XLR, built-in ND and everything video! Meanwhile.... Panasonic saw that and said.... holy shit!!! build that GH1 quick and push those video features.
The Panasonic GH1 came out long before the C300mk1 -
Thought 3D (for anything that is not VR) was dead??
RED wants to dig up 3D again?! -
Yes even Arri Alexa Mini shoots going for a "polished look" will shoot with an easyrig.

The camera strap shoulders are fixed like in their DSLR bodies. No more noisy loose things!
The most important thing.On 2/23/2018 at 2:56 AM, Andrew Reid said:"For 720p" lol
Hey 2008 called... It wants its resolution back!
Let me run out and buy a 5D Mk IV... I am so excited for that 720p! Especially as my GH5S only does 1080p 180fps and now 240fps for almost half the money. Hmm.
I was kinda a little bummed when I realised the other night that my BMPCC only had 1080, and nothing else!
As I only had a teeny card with me and I know my interview subject would ramble on and on and on and on and on and on..... thus I wouldn't have minded considering 720 for this particular shoot, as it was only going to FB anyway (plus I was doing it for free!

Wtf are Nofilmschool smoking

Nofilmschool went downhill years ago. I don't even bother checking their website now.
They only have useless writers now it seems who don't have a clue.On 2/28/2018 at 12:10 AM, Andrew Reid said:Not just there, everyone is hyping it up. The coverage is misleading as the specs on the box are. Class action lawsuit level misleading for the average customer.
The whole thing is an utter disgrace.
You honestly have to ask about the love affair the online press have with Canon.
NewsShooter today did their A7 III piece in a cynical tone moaning about the Japanese presentation and lack of 10bit, when it's basically an A9 for half price with SLOG and HDR!!? 6K full pixel readout?! $1899 for full frame 4K?! Are you kidding me - what's not to like about that?! Yet the M50... Glorious write up and as usual the glaring flaws simply glossed over.
If there was a class action lawsuit against Canon for being misleading then I'd singlehandedly buy up enough popcorn to cause a countrywide shortage of popcorn.
On 2/28/2018 at 3:45 AM, mercer said:Look guys, every sub $1000 camera has handicapped 4K. Panasonic has a crop, albeit a smaller crop, but it’s a smaller sensor. Sony has overheating or time limits. And Fuji has time limits. Canon has a larger crop but it also has the highest bitrate 4K in the sub $1000 market. There are concessions to be made in the sub $1000 market.
I bet Panasonic's next sub $1K G series camera will have 4K without a crop. -
Any one remember the Nokia N97? I really wanted this back when it came out.
Has a full qwerty keyboard that slides out from underneath.Nokia E70 was even more trippy with its fold out keyboard:
And of course us video geeks would get a real kick out their Nokia N92:

@anonim And how are you set for lenses? Your two Voigtlanders aren’t compatible with Fuji. If you’re shooting professionally and $800 is a hardship, my advice would be to stick with the camera you’ve already got.
Better advice would be to find another career.... ?
On 2/20/2018 at 10:14 PM, frontfocus said:I really don't get it. 2 years ago Fujis were probably the worst cameras you could get for video. Heavy moire, missing sharpness, no control over settings. The X-T2 changed a lot of it. The image quality was very nice and it added some controls.
And now, the X-H1 adds another bunch of nice features. No, it doesn't do 60fps or 10bit, but as a whole I think the camera looks very nice. It seems they improved the autofocus, they added a lot of features like 1/48s, linear response of focus or internal Log and added hardware like IBIS and the touch screen.
No, it's not a GH5 killer, but I don't think it's supposed to be. "Jack of all trades, master of none", seems fitting. It's mildly cropped APS-C sensor won't match the low light performance of an A7S but it will be better than the GH5. Might be very close to the GH5s though. It's improved autofocus will probably not match canons dual pixel, but it might just be up there with Sony, close behind. And it doesn't have waveform or zebras yet (slashcam says Fuji might add those in an upcoming firmwareupdate) but it does have a lot of other small things, like the internal log profile, the 200Mbit/s codec, the DCI 4K option, 1/48s shutter speed, timecode, tally light and so on. And all of that with the very nice Fuji colors. To me it feels like a camera that might be very interesting to people shooting not video only, but both, photos and videos.
While this camera is certainly not for me, I love how quickly Fuji has moved forward over the last couple of years and it makes me excited for Fuji as to what the next couple of years will bring!On 2/21/2018 at 2:47 AM, Tim Sewell said:Definitely right there. The Fuji users' forum I frequent is, in general, pretty sniffy about video. Most times, when someone comes up with a video related question, at least 25% of the responses will be 'buy a video camera'.
Sad but true, there is still a significant segment on hardcore photography forums who are under the crazy belief that putting video in a camera MAKES IT WORSE!! ?? :-/ wtfOn 2/23/2018 at 8:52 AM, mkabi said:We are already beginning to see Canon's crappy cards. May be they might pull a wildcard? C100 mark 3? Better than the C100 mark 2, but worse than the C200?
My guess is the C100mk3 will be like the C200 but without raw. -

I have a question for everyone. How do you purchase your gear? Cash? Credit? If it's credit, is the upgrade honestly worth going into debt over?
Cash! Always cash.
Credit is scary, easy to slip too far down that slippery slope....So I never have.
On 2/18/2018 at 5:47 PM, Matthew Hartman said:4.) Set a custom white balance using a white or 50% grey card. This will help you greatly in post get an accurate color balance. You should fair well with your Fuji.
A Colorchecker Xrite Passport is a good idea too.On 2/18/2018 at 5:47 PM, Matthew Hartman said:6.) Tiffen Pro Mist 1/4 (or silimar) helps reduce digital sharpness. Industry even uses them on $60k cameras.
Very true. I've seen this used on sets on such cameras.

One motorbike. Rest were/are bicycles. (only still own a handful, but at one point I owned a dozen all at once!)

Yup, never owning a car helps have more money spare for this expensive business of filmmaking!
But I feel within a couple of years or so then simply for my career I'll need to buy a stationwagon or a transit van. -

Ex-Machina was a shitpile of a film. All of humanities fate depending on code written by a single "genius" - that's not how software is developed, sorry guys.
Movies become a lot less fun if they need to cover several software development teams wrangling tens of thousands of lines of code, instead of focusing on one central character as the lead. -

Did anyone on here actually ever buy one in the end?
Have multiple friends who purchased an EVA1, can't think of anyone at the moment who got a C200 who I personally know here in Auckland. But I'm sure they exist.16 hours ago, BTM_Pix said:Why the hell someone at Atomos isn't going "You know what, that 4 year old Ninja Star product could do with an updated version that does 4K" I just dont know.
They do a lot of stuff aimed at other cameras like GH5 and even LS300 and yet there is this Canon shaped gift horse giving them a massive toothy grin and they sail right by.
Maybe at NAB they might release one and shut me up!!
A Ninja Star 4K so you could have a super small device automatically giving you ProRes 4K files out of the C200 would be a game changer for many folks.
Or heck even if they just made a small monitor recorder with a 5" screen that does 4K, as no one else does that aside from Video Devices15 hours ago, spinkscapes said:I have a C200. Absolutely stunning camera.
Didn't even consider the EVA1 or watch any reviews so can't compare.I'm very surprised that with a purchase of that magnitude a person didn't even consider the EVA1 for a moment.

I have owned close to 300 cars in my life from Ferrari's to Fiats.
Good grief!
I've owned ZERO cars in my lifetime.
But then again I've owned probably nearing on two dozen bikes over my life. -
That was intentional, as a talking head alone can be quite borrowing. Plus his topic is about computers / visual media, thus I thought it would be nice to layer in those into the scene into the background and then another layer into the deep background.
Would I do it the same all over again if I did this say tomorrow while sober? (I wasn't then!)
Yup, probably. Although what I would change is I would tone down the brightness of the monitors, by how much.... hmm, maybe even by as much as 50%? (plus a number of other tweaks, such as I wish I didn't have to use a softbox as a hair light, and I wish I could have had more time to play around with how I was splashing bits of light onto the background)
But we were very quickly running out of time.
Remember, I'd already had a full day of filming beforehand, working on this feature:
Thus we didn't have too much spare time available, because we really wanted to get into town before all the clubs closed up for the night. (as it was errr... we kinda missed that! Oops. Well, we got into one bar we spent the rest of the night in, but it wasn't our 1st or even 3rd choice, but nowhere else was letting us in because it was already too late in the night!) -

I'm surprised no-one has come up with an obvious suggestion - whenever I was reading about the Sigma 18-55 f1.8 lens everyone said it was the 'YouTubers favourite lens' but I can't find any info on what they pair it with that makes any sense.. The only combinations I've seen are the 18-35, metabones, and a6000 line cameras, but I can't imagine that the vast swathes of youtubers can afford such a thing
The Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 is a very affordable lens for what it is. Of course there are YouTubers who can afford it.
And you can use it on almost ANYTHING! (that isn't FF35)
I have my Sigma in NIkon F mount and I've used it on:
BMPCC, D5200, D90, G6, F3, GH1, etc... and those are just my cameras! Also taken it out and had it used on shoots on other cameras too such as a Panasonic EVA1 and many others. -

On second thought I agree with this. But I'd be more inclined to wait for the canons because of color science.
You're going to be waiting a very looooooooooooong time before Canon puts IBIS into a cheap camera!

The G80 is already very cheap, and the likes of a Panasonic 25mm f1.7 lens on sale is only US$99Skip IBIS and you can get a secondhand Panasonic G7 for dirt dirt cheap! (skip 4K and you can get a G6 for a song!)

Then the Sony 35mm f1.8 has optical stabilisation in a fairly small lightweight package. I'd prefer that over the Canon pancake
