ML needs a firmware dump or upgrade with the code packed to start working, no? Only the camera would be useless.

400mbps in 4k60 in All-I and Long GOP in H.265 (could be a mistake, because 400mbps Long GOP in H.265 is VERY high), 200bps or 100 mbps in 4k30 and below (10 bit 4:2:0 in H.265 and 8 bit 4:2:0 in H.264). DPreview have a full table on https://***URL removed***/reviews/fujifilm-x-t3-first-impressions-review/2 If this camera had IBIS, would be shut up and take my money. Waiting for the real world reviews (as other cameras), but looks like a shot out of the park by Fuji. Amazing.

What I got in this thread is that most of the EOSHD user with a degree in journalism are working in marketing - which show the decline of journalism around the world... (I'm not a journalist, but most of my friends are, and I'm married to one that - you guessed it - is transitioning to marketing )

Until now, from the new bunch, liked the Z6 most. Looked more cohesive, good specs overall, IBIS, af joystick, video looks good, af looks good - all subjected to change in real world. Will be a very interesting comparison with the A7III. EOS R looks to have some interesting features in the controls layout - but waste a left dial to a on-off switch is a very strange choice. But huge crop and no IBIS was a bummer for video. Looks a good stills camera. It's a Canon, will sell very well. Have to wait for the Panasonic. A FF GH5 would be a winner, but I expect to have a higher price to not destroy the m43 line (at least now). Mount is a mistery - don't believe in a EF mount.

Well, 43rumors said with FT5 that the new high end Olympus due to January will be a new higher end m43, with "new sensor" and "advanced video features". Looks no FF for Oly yet.

This is an instance when everybody wants LOT LESS "depth of field"

But probably will sell like hotcakes. Canon have a very strong brand, and some real strenghts - good ergos, excellent color, reability. And just need to look how the M50 is selling - is far from being a bad camera, but (in my opinion) is not the best option in the price range. More sad even is that it could be a VERY good camera with some little changes. But why to spend money in features if people buy the brand? When I was in London last year was amazed by the number of EOS M6 on the streets - literally half of the mirroless models that I saw in hands of tourists. And all my friends that don't know photography and wants an opinion about buying a camera only asks about Canon models.

I am always amazed how people could predict the future of the camera market share (always with only one maker surviving) with cameras that are not even launched yet. About the Canon, great lenses line start, but don't forget that this will be an announcement - rumors said that will no be on market before mid-2019 (if this was not updated). Looks like a solid camera, but I'm in the camp that thinks 5D MKIV cropped 4k. But only when all the cameras are on the field and the second batch of reviews were published (1st reviews nowadays are almost always "positive") we will now if these new FF cameras are all that we hope. Time to wait.

43rumors guy guess (only guessing, no info) that it could use the Leica SL mount. Kind of logic, since Panasonic and Leica have a lot of cooperation, but since SL mount diameter with 48,8mm of diameter is barely larger than Sony E (46,1 mm) and less than Canon EF (54mm), maybe it is not a good idea...

Thom Hogan said that their Nikon sources said that because of the bigger mount, the new 35mm and 50mm Z lenses have much better optical capabilities than predecessor lenses - in fact, claiming exceptional corner performance. Let's see.

Yeah, but with the low light sensibility of the last batch of FF cameras, it is somewhat less relevant than before, no? Of course that is better to use the lowest ISO possible, but we have more clean ISO range now than before.

Have to take my LX100 out of the box. You use Aperture to process the LX100 raw files, @BTM_Pix?

All the specs hints that it is just a GX9 repackaged. Since Panasonic released a CinelikeD firmware upgrade for the GX9 some time ago (rumors says that the reason was a f*cking tinkerer in a website forum sowed their idiocity), maybe nobody tried the app on the GX9. At the same time, very probably the closed the loophole in the LX100 II.

Because the Z6 and Z7 have PDAF on sensor, D850 uses CDAF with video - with the crappy results that we all know. And imagine that for the APS-C ones Nikon releases a second version of the F mount adapter with a speedbooster integrated on it. Would be awesome and probably a major selling point. Never will happen, though.

I want to see if your app could solve this problem too... GH5 sensor is not the same as the GX9's one? Or just tuned differently? About the crop - anyone ever used that wide adapters, like Raynox ones? It degrades the image quality?

Endurance, same problem of the Sony's prior to the release of the Z battery - 330 shots rated in the new cameras. But maybe the power saving modes could solve that. A thing that Nikon could REALLY be innovative - sometimes people just need more battery life, does not need the full vertical grip thing. Instead of having only the traditional vertical grip with batteries, the could make a smaller bottom attached battery only, chargeable by USB with Quickcharge 3.0. The EN-EL5 have 1900mah, the probably could make a bottom battery pack with few milimeters height with 4000mah capacity (some phones have this capacity).

My two cents: at first sight, Nikon did right. A lot of people are comparing the Z7 to the D850 (with very toughtful - as usual - remarks like @BTM_Pix), but it is not their target - they aim directly the A7R III. The A7R III have a mode dial? Done it. The Sony does not have a drive mode dial? Gotcha. It is much more a D750/D610 with a higher resolution sensor. The price is too high, though - I guess that we will see a drop to US$ 3200 soon. The real pro cameras will for sure appear down the line - probably with more professional controls, ironing the problems that these 2 first attempts shows. And they have the exactly sales numbers for each tier of cameras, and probably enthusiast tier (Nikon even divides their DSLR in "entry-level", "enthusiast" and "professional" in their website) have the best balance to start. Enthusiasts are (my guess) the people who are more susceptible to try new technologies - amateurs are more focused on price, professionals are focused in a reliable and no workflow / handling disruptive things. Z6 looks very right - price clashing with the A7 III. Both are clearly stills focused - stills people still (no pun intended) buys much more cameras than the video crown. And again, their target was the Sonys in video too - hence just needed to equal than. I was not expecting at all 4k60, and I think that enabling 10-bit 4:2:2 in HDMI was a very clever move - an extra spec that Sonys don't have (yet - could a firmware upgrade enable it?), less demanding internal specs, and for an item that only really cares to specialized people. For enthusiasts, good color OOC is much more valuable (my guess too). The F adapter performance will be very important , especially for stills- if it is ok, could be a major boost. About the top LCD: since only used mirrorless, never tought about it, until other day that I've grabbed an old S5Pro for nothing, and now I'm fond for it . And a lot of people associate a top LCD as "pro" cameras - just have to see that buzz that the top LCDs in Fuji X-H1 and Panny G9 generated. The flaws that I see: - I was never a DSLR user, hence I can't say if the controls are ok. Really strange to not have a AF mode switch - maybe in this tier it is not considerar important (or, more probably, "since the Sonys do not have it either...")? - Single card slot. They should have gone to the XQD + SD route, if they want to move to XQD. It is a thing that Sonys have, they don't. - Price of the Z7 is totally wrong. Should be the same of the A7R III, at least. But, at least until now, I think that they striked a very good balance for a start. Let's wait to see the real world tests - normally the second batch of the reviews, after the first rushed ones "to be the first to publish". Oh, forgot to mention the use of the current batteries, huge flaw. Ok, understandable in their point of view to cater the current Nikon users, and the "keep compatibility" history of the Nikons, but Sony showed the way with the Z batteries.

Panasonic launched it today, to not be engulfed by Nikon tomorrow. All the bigger sites have reviews, Photobyrichard have more pleasing JPGS (amazing how bad the photos that big sites reviewers takes): http://www.photobyrichard.com/reviewbyrichard/panasonic-lumix-lx100-ii-review/ As I expected, is a GX9 (sensor, touchscreen, funcionalities) inserted in the LX100 body (fixed screen, same EVF, same lens). And GX9 4k crop is there too, and more severe, 1.34x (this means that with the lens in the 24mm position, is a 32mm in 4k). That crop killed the GX9 for me, could kill the LX100 II too.

I expect the more expensive one be like a D850 mirrorless, and the lower one have the exact same specs and price as the A7III. Don't hope 4k60 in none of the cameras - the are clearly stills oriented, the flip screen (not a fully articulated one) with huge bezels is a hint. This was made for Nikon still shooters, and they are right, I guess.

No and yes, I guess. By the specs and pics, it really looks like an GX9 inside in a LX100 body with no modifications.

m4/3 need to up their game in video CAF - Panasonic need urgently to implement PDAF, Olympus need to improve theirs. Low light (especially for stills) need to improve too - but this is dependent of Sony to supply more BSI sensors (AFAIK the GH5s have the only BSI m4/3 sensor). In fact, I've always had m4/3 cameras almost only, but now I am waiting to see where it goes. Love the format, but the future looks bleak - could become a video only niche, and don't know if it could survive.

+1 here for the articulated screen. Maybe it is a touch one now, at least. I think that the lens is somewhat murky in the corners, but you can't do miracles at this cost. Guess that it will be a 20mp sensor, and afraid that they use a crop instead of oversampling for 4k. No hopes for 4k60 fps too, looks like a VERY restrained upgrade. But with updated engine / colors, more resolution for stills, maybe a touchscreen and some more internal enhancements, could still be interesting if the price is right. But was a missed opportunity.

Little OT question, @Andrew Reid: any news about the GX9 review?

Unfortunately looks like I was right, if these pictures from Nokishita are real (they used to be VERY reliable): there was 2 changes on the body, the grip is different and (finally) one of the top buttons is now programmable. NOTHING ELSE was changed. ? https://www.nokishita-camera.com/2018/08/dc-lx100m2.html
