this is the only footage I've found online that appears to be straight out of the camera, 10 bit h265 F-Log; not the funnest to grade, but its downloadable on Vimeo-

 

2 minute basic grade. Looks good to me

Extended the low illuminance limit of phase difference AF from conventional -1 EV to -3 EV

4K / 60P 4: 2: 0 Compatible with 10-bit SD card recording in the camera. 4K / 60P 4: 2: 2 Also supports 10bit HDMI output

“Sports finder mode” function is newly installed. Blackout-free high-speed continuous shooting at the maximum speed of 30 frames per second is possible within a frame equivalent to 16.6 million pixels (1.25 times crop)

Newly equipped “pre-shooting” function that starts shooting from the time when the shutter button is pressed halfway and records the shot image by pressing the shutter button all the way

“Monochrome adjustment” function is newly added to “Film simulation”

“Color Chrome Effect” function is first installed as “X series”

USB Type adopts Type-C (USB 3.1 Gen 1) standard

The article says the problem has been mitigated on the X-T20 but nowhere does it state definitively that the issue has been addressed on later models of the X-T2.

I had the x-t2 and it also exhibited the purple grid artifacts but after I sent it in the sensor was replaced and I never had the issue again. I read many similar reports online of other early models having sensor changes when sent in for repairs. I suspect a quiet fix/redesign was implemented when the issue was brought to light

I just made a surprising discovery with my 23mm WR. Turning the focus ring at different speeds does not affect the distance the focus travels. This is highly unusual for a fly-by-wire lens. What other lenses act like this? My 18-55mm and 35mm f1.4 don't.

Tested the 16mm 1.4 and it's the same too. Speed doesn't affect the distance. Will check the 56mm when it arrives today

I bought the Lexar 256gb CFast X 3400 from the seller on EBay. I used it mainly for video on my 1dxii but then this week gone, while shooting a graduation, the card failed. It would not load up or reformat in camera or in computer. I called Lexar who said they would replace it with the newer model x3500 which is recommended for the 1dxii. 

I'd suggest only using the x3400 Lexar cards for video on the 1dxii or better still just get the x3500 and have peace of mind. 

@Andrew Reid. Hi Andrew, If you're in London and would like to use my 1DXII to compare the two cameras I'd be willing to let you use it for take on the the two

The test seem to confirm what the chart i previously posted suggests; that the 1DC has a slightly better DR at higher iso with the appearance of less colour noise due to more contrast in the 1DXII.

In the lower iso range where the 1DXii has more dynamic range, theoretically, shooting cinestyle -1EV with HTP and bringing up shadows in post would give you about the same DR as 1DC C-Log (1/3 - 1/2 stop less). If you get another chance @Luke Mason  i'd be very interested to see if this is in fact the case

Where are you getting these DR numbers for the 1DX II and why would you assume that the 1DC has a "weaker sensor"? In fact, most of the tests we have seen show equal performance, if not an edge for the older sensor as in the DPreview article already cited on this forum:

http://***URL removed***/news/8090146652/canon-eos-1d-x-mark-ii-studio-tests

After all, the 1DX/1DC sensor has larger photosites than the second generation (6.95 vs. 6.65 microns) and can theoretically achieve a greater signal-to-noise ratio. Perhaps processing advancements and the gapless micro-lens sensor technology can make up for the smaller photosites of the 1DX II so as to even out the noise performance between the cameras, but it is doubtful that it could be much better.

From what I have seen, the 1DX II video footage performs exactly the same as the 1DC in neutral no matter what you do with those superficial picture profile settings, which means that it has 9 stops of DR and a lot of crushed blacks and nearly-clipped highlights:

The 1DC on the other hand will give you a very different look with better DR, smoother roll-off, and much lower contrast, not to mention the wider and richer color gamut that goes with C-Log when grading the footage in post:

 

http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1421137

"Weaker" in the sense that the new sensor is ADC design, and having less noise in the shadows.

Anyway, until we see some direct comparisons and see some footage that hasn't been sharpened either in camera or post we won't really know for sure. Numbers are in some cases meaningless.

The Canon 1DC may well have better dynamic range in clog but I believe the advantage may only be a stop at best with the 1DXii already having a 1 1/2-2 stop dynamic range advantage at base iso, and a further 1 stop gain shooting in cinestyle -1 ev htp, which adds up to around 3 stops. This compares favourably to the 1DC and its 2-3 stop gain using canon log from a weaker sensor. 

What I'd really like to see is a direct comparison.

" the lens breaths with focus, and the short focus throw might not be ideal for video. However there is a feature accessible via the USB dock to extend the focus throw which could be interesting (although due to the physical focal distance window I’m not sure how wide this adjustment can be)."

Trying to find the link about which lenses were compatible. Will update when I do

Wow, that is really great. So it means that there is no need to buy expensive Cfast cards now, can wait for significant price reduction while still using existing CF cards. What about 120fps? No problems with CFs?

It won't give the option to do high frame rates on CF in any of the menus

Guys, this is important for me - please tell how many seconds it is possible to record on fast CF card (like sandisk 160mb/s) 50 and 60fps 4k until the buffer is full? If it is at least 10 seconds - it would be great, i have bunch of fast CF cards for my 5d3 with ML and need only short sequences with 4k 60p.

I have managed to get almost 30 seconds on my 64gb Komputerbay x1000

I've got the old Sigma 20mm f/1.8 which is pretty good past f/2. The only thing I hate about Sigma lenses is the short focus throws.

All the latest art lenses have the ability to adjust focus throw distance via sigma dock and software. Only the 35 Art is exempt. 

I've been debating whether to get this lens or the Tamron 15-30mm 2.8. It's a toss up between image stabilisation or wide apeture on the 1dxii for 4K video
