A FS3 (if created) should be modular enough to be stripped down completely for drone use. Something like Sony QX1, but with proper features and a heatsink.
-
Sony A7II/R/S with the tweak will record unlimited, not overheat and can be powered by USB. However, the camera battery gets depleted a bit also (someone should confirm this).

Lag.

Such a mystery that dedicated cine glass from Fuji gets no love in a separate thread, but has to live inside a generic thread on a cine forum is very confusing ... whereas countless posts are dedicated to determining if a certain unreleased photo lens will live up to demands of videography.

Sony needs offer the option of XAVC-S at more than 100mbs first, then RAW.

I am not so sure that Nikon is in all that much trouble (YET).
There are very few dedicated photo shops left (none here) and cameras are sold in electronics chain stores mostly now.
Just looked in one and there were 4 Nikon DSLRs (no FF, some older models), 2 Nikon mirrorless (AW and normal 1), 5 Canon DSLRs (no FF), 3 Canon mirrorless (m10 and a couple of M3 options).
There were 2 Sony Mirrorless (an A6000 and A5### - no A6300 or A6500), 2 OLy m4/3 and 2 Panasonic M4/3 (none of the top ones).
Only a handful of various lower level lenses.
At the other end of the cabinet were almost as many video camcorders from Sony, Panasonic and a couple of others from around $200 to about $1000, plenty of "action" cameras and tiny video things.
In between, a few point and shoot (including some Nikon Coolpix). 3 or 4 different Instax cameras of varying colours.
The range there has shrunk a fair bit in the last year.
A store like Harvey Norman (another electronics chain) here still has a bit larger range and more lenses including FF cameras and Canon/Nikon "L" /gold ring type lenses but their range has also shrunk greatly lately from what it was not so long ago.
Nikon may well be in trouble but not really any more than anyone else it seems.
A valid observation, but after photo/videographers upgrade their entry level bodies they go bargain hunting online or on used gear portals instead of walking into a Harvey Norman because they cannot live with their old gear for a few days more. So, physical presence in (non-specialized) stores is nothing to base you market assumptions on.

I guess a WD My Cloud could be the cheapest and easiest solution in the long-run (if you have decent upload speeds and need to share with just a few people). One time cost, but I am not sure if there are any file size limits in the provided software.

2. Sony is literally monopolizing the newer 1" sensors, and using them for its newer RX100 models. Everyone else gets a generation or 2 older version, of the 1" sensor.
When I compare RX100 mkI to mkV on the dpreview tool, is see no real IQ progress made in 5 years. Reviews hinted at better shadow lifting for mkIV and 4K was possible with the last year's sensors anyway.
With the know-how from Nikon 1 series, I find it baffling how Nikon was unable to produce a AF speed monster with the DL series. I don't know about the image processing of the 1 series, but in any case, they have years of experience with this sensor size.

Looks like the 1" sensor from the RX line scaled down to smartphone size. Now for the APS-C and FF size ... I guess financially they just had to do it for the mass market first.

You guys are forgetting that no waterproof accessories are included with the Yi cam, whereas GoPro supplies then in every package - the price difference isn't that dramatic. Also you can discuss IS vs gimbals forever, but in the end, every user has his own needs and the market gives options for both.

60p bit rate is not 2x the 30p bit rate. Google for more.

Here it is in all of its glory (no price yet, unfortunately):

Also, I don't see anybody crying. I see thousands of creative professionals - graphic designers, photo editors and film editors - who have been faithful to Apple for years, who realize that Tim Cook does not understand or care about what we want. He believes we should be able to work on an iPad Pro.
Well, how many of them will abandon Apple? 0.1%, if that. On the other side of the spectrum, the silly innovations will maybe bring in a slew of yet non-converted latte-sippers.

Apple hates pro users.
PROs should get over themselves. No one hates you, but you are a small market. Most Macbook users use them for menial office work.
As a PRO, you should be able to shop around, not just cry when your brand goes in the other direction.

Yes poor Amazon owned DPReview. They must be really strapped for cash!
Well, yeah. Amazon is known for its extremely small profit margins and overworked employees (in warehouses at least), so it is reasonable to believe the finances of owning DP are being carefully monitored.

The gist of it being that if we want a free review site, we can either click on their ads a lot or use their affiliate links to guy gear or except some sponsored content. Now, even if you believe that their findings are susceptible to manufacturer influence, you can always compare lab tests and examples and videos and review the camera by your own standards (so keeping the site alive and free is in everyone's interest).
-
Dpreview will always be a very good site for camera research, since most of their ISO, DR etc, claims are supported with a few image examples. Anyone can decide if the examples support their claims. They even have tracking AF videos, so you don't have to believe what they write and check it out yourselves. Is there any other site offering standardized ISO samples for most cameras with a handy comparison tool? Take their words with a grain of salt (and compare them to other reviews) and you are good to go. Likewise, it would be insane to trust Andrew as your only source info when researching a camera.

I'm just wondering why the numerous very specific Sony articles are not marked as sponsored (they offer almost no real critique, just praise).
-
So, Sony has a better lens, but Panasonic still has loads going for it. Hopefully, Sony can copy at least some of it for their next release.

As long as you don't mind it overheating 20 minutes into an important shoot
(This actually happened to me)
I am trying to find out if IBIS on the A6500 is significantly better than the A7S II, so far I feel it is a bit better but nothing dramatic.
A6500 will record longer, but it will give you sever burns if you try to hold it. Not much of an improvement here. And IBIS does not need to be better that their FF IBIS - but it had to be developed for the smaller sensor size. It probably wasn't a trivial task, hence the costly R&D.
Know the limitations and work with them. You suffered Canon's shortcomings for years and now have to live with Sony's. No perfect camera, still.

I would define Canon-itis as the now obsolete product cycle of updating a flagship (FF and APS-C) body once every 4-5 years and spending the rest of the cycle slowly trickling down its features to lower-priced models. In short - claiming innovation while pushing the same feature down in price for 4-5 years.
I feel like they should do what Sony does and just push down the price of older models still on the market, but upgrade this approach with firmware updates.
