Well, no big news here: https://www.fujirumors.com/fujifilm-x-h1-4k-1-17x-crop-video-specs/

Vegas Pro 15 has a native LUT plugin and can export HEVC. Its also the first Vegas edition to support Nvidia NVENC hardware rendering.

What did you like better with the 12-100?

Well, the A7SII does 4K 30p only, they will have to give us something more. It can be either 4K 60p or 10 bit, maybe both. Also, the sensor will be a new one, I don't think Sony will keep the same sensor tor the third time.

"AF capabilities of the G9 put it in league only with the Sony A9 for sports shooters".

I think this is a wishful thinking, contrast only AF compared to the Sony A9 693 phase auto focus points. I have tested the A9 with a fast action and this is a very high bar to be reached.

I don't think they'll do 10-bit internal AND 4K60. That would threaten the FS5, and Sony doesn't have a habit of stepping on their pro line.

Hard to imagine how they'll imagine 4K60 either, since the Mark II bodies already have to dim the screen significantly to avoid overheating in 4K30. My best guess is that they'll finally include 4K 10-bit HDMI out, maybe with a full-sized HDMI port, and 10-bit 1080p internally. 4K-wise, I'm not sure they actually can step up their game with their current hardware. Willing to be proven wrong, but...I wouldn't hold your breath. 

Improved AF seems like the most likely new addition, and one I'd absolutely love to see. Gimbal work with the current A7S can get pretty annoying without it. 

The new A7R III does not dim the back screen anymore while taking 4K.

Lets not forget the power switch. I have no idea why Olympus thinks using both hands to turn on a camera is a good feature.

The E M1 II power switch can be assigned to the lever around the AEL button on the camera right side.

And, by the way, many Canon DSLR have a left side power switch but they are still the most popular today...

How come the G9 has better ergonomics than E M1 II?

We had the same topic on the GH5...

The shit motion interpolation was made for the bad LCD technology, but they also put it in Plasma and new OLED tv's that don't need that! First thing I do is the shut this "feature" off.

Wow I seem like the "weirdo" here because I enjoy using Magix Vegas Pro 14 and not one person brought up how robust and easy this program is. DR is too complicated for me, Adobe's subscription service is garbage and FCP looks good , but I'm strictly a PC user. 

You are not alone man, me too with Vegas :-)

So buy ND filters... there are many to choose from for the Mavic.

You can read about it here: https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Premiere-Pro-CC-2017-AMD-Ryzen-7-1700X-1800X-Performance-909/

But all other NLE rely very much on CPU.

How is that? With gaming, 4 cores are enough and the bottle neck is the GPU. For rendering, you need much stronger CPU with more cores.

For us, we need best cpu for rendering, I do not care about gaming.

AFAIK the BIOS only allows one to set the max rate for each core, and defaults to 4.0 for the 6950X. How and which version of TurboBoost runs is up to Intel's drivers and current load and thermal states (the system was not running at 4.0 for all cores all the time, only under TurboBoost as provided by Intel's drivers). In any case, Intel didn't seem to have an issue with that aspect- they were focused on max clock speed and voltage (which equals heat and thus wear, the typical cause of electronics failure). Common sense is that as long as the processor runs cool, and is 100% stable, it should be OK.

For the general question for both Intel and AMD, is it worth the hassle and downtime (warranty or not) to have a production/work machine go down for repairs? Interestingly Puget Systems sells machines overclocked: https://www.pugetsystems.com/parts/CPU/Intel-Core-i7-6950X-3-0GHz-Ten-Core-25MB-140W-Overclocked-11755, so they must be confident they'll last at least for the 1 year warranty (wonder if Intel gives them some kind of deal or do they have to eat overclocked processor failures since not officially covered under warranty by Intel).

"Turbo Boost 2.0 is what Intel calls its maximum Turbo or ‘peak’ frequency. So in the case of the i7-6950X, the base frequency is 3.0 GHz and the Turbo Boost 2.0 frequency is 3.5 GHz. The CPU will use that frequency when light workloads are in play and decrease the frequency of the cores as the load increases in order to keep the power consumption more consistent.

Turbo Boost 3, in a nutshell, will boost the frequency of a single CPU core when a single-threaded program is being used." - Single core boost is 4GHz and only for a specific core.

@jcs The 4.0GHz Turbo boost speed of 6950K is for single core, not all cores turbo. That was your mistake. All cores turbo is 3.5GHz only.

Well, its rendering power is similar to i7 6900K but much less expensive...

The Olympus E M1 II has it: you push a custom button, aim at a grey card, push again and you are set.

@webrunner5 Some software, like Vegas Pro rely much more on CPU rendering than GPU.

Are you all using Premiere or another Software? The Hardware have a different effect on different Software.

It does record video, in 6K photo mode.

But even a 3k 4:1 raw is around 150MB/s. No SD card can handle that. 

The camera can write 160MB/s to SD cards:

I'm not sure the video supports the writing here. There's not much movement to show the virtues of the in camera stabilisation. It'a a long low wide shot with a few cutaways inserted. There is a colour difference between camera angles (magenta vs green). At times the focus is significantly off. I don't see the image quality described at all.  Sorry.
