  1. No DCI - Only UHD 4K. And, no 4K 24p, only 4K 30p. Here: https://***URL removed***/reviews/yi-m1-mirrorless-ilc-first-impressions-review/3 Scroll down to the picture and paragraph under 'video'.
  2. I'm confused, why does it need 2 SSDs? Is it to get a data rate of over 700 MB/s? Doesn't that mean its writing on both SSDs too? If thats true, how can we conform the format from the 2 SSDs to one? Lastly, where are you getting this information? Cause I would want to read more into it, as a possible purchaser of the C500 + Odyssey or Shogun Inferno.
  3. Not an expert here, but didn't Andrew write that the C500 doesn't really output 4K 120fps RAW - its half RAW? 4096X1080p - and it conforms it to 30/25/24p. There is another option? A blurry 4K 120fps too. In any case, there is a scene in Wolf of Wall Street, where Jonah Hills about to vomit. I think they used a C500 for that scene. Its extremely distinguishable compared to other scenes, because of the softness.
  4. I heard that the 5DSR is amazing. If you can afford it then get that...
  5. I dont' know what to say to that... What exactly is the DPAF supposed to do? (Rhetorical Question) And, my version 1 lens works with it to do exactly that. In fact, I think it works better than the 50mm f/1.8 II (which is shown as being supported).
  6. From owner and operator of the Canon 16-35 f/2.8 (version 1), I can attest that it works on the 70D and the 7D mark 2. A bit noisy, but it works... its no STM or nano USM...
  7. I'm sure you aren't interested in A-mount cameras (and neither am I), but from my perspective... A-mount wasn't abandoned. Even before this announcement, they were releasing A-mount cameras. Last year (2015) they announced and recently released the a68 Voila: http://www.cnet.com/products/sony-alpha-a68/preview/; And the year before that (2014) it was the a77ii.... http://www.cnet.com/products/sony-alpha-a77-ii/preview/ so... how that translates as abandoning or giving up or anything else of the sort... makes me wonder....
  8. You need delve deeper. Since those reviews of the Z1 there has been firmware updates and a flat profile added. People that were early adopters were the ones who wrote those reviews... Much like all the blackmagic reviews. If you look at the blackmagic reviews... People are still complaining of the 2.5K RAW... Since then they've added compressed RAW update.
  9. Yep. To be honest, I don't understand what all the excitements for... The Z camera E1 has been out for a while now: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1203955-REG/z_camera_e1cam3a701_e1_mini_4k_video.html The only problem with tha x5r is the price. Shoot we can even include BM Micro cams here.

    Photokina

    Quick question. Is cinema equipment like the Terra normally a part of a show like photokina?

    Photokina

    Normal zoom and/or cinema zoom 18-70 f/2.8 would nice too.
  12. Hey mercer, where'd you get that rumor from? Source would be nice if you can find it. Cause, I'd be interested in that.
  13. @wolf33d Yeah dude... come on... at what point are you going to give up on Canon? Did you not just witness the 1.74 crop - 4K WTF moment with the 5D4???
  14. Since we are playing fantasy. What I want is... FF DSLR format. Interchangeable PL/EF mount 20 to 25MP DPAF (touch screen) that can shoot up to 25,600 ISO at up to 10fps. Blackmagic like menu system, as Canon's has gotten quite convoluted lately. Now for video features in the same camera: - IQ like Arri, - Multiple Res to Ratio formats & HFR like Red AND -Redcode for editing. All for $3000 to $5000
  15. See... I think that it depends on the actor(s) too. But if you discuss it with them, and may be ask them to practice what you want out of the scene (a couple of days beforehand). You should be able to reduce the takes at least... Find a happy medium.
  16. +1 That plus, I need to stop trying to do multiple takes. Make the first take the best take and move on. So much time is wasted on getting the 'perfect' take. Either that or delete the messed up takes when they are messed up and you aren't planning to use them in bloopers or anything.
  17. It says 5K??? Youtube supports highter than 4K?

    Canon XC15

    Don't shoot the messenger. Just thought you guys would be interested. It's like going in an appliance store to peruse... Then saying you ain't interested in the refrigerator, but enough to tell your friend, who is actually looking for a fridge... "Yo! There is a sale on this fridge here." BTW, I do that all the time... When my wife wants to go shopping and drags me along... I peruse the electronic section... Walk through bestbuy... To pass the time, get to know the latest gadgets.... Stay a top of things in terms of tech... Don't be all touchy and heart broken if someone said something bad about your camera. Even if it is as simple as "I'm not interested."?

    Canon XC15

    CR has leaked pictures of the XC15. Still not interested.
  20. You know what I think is happening? What I think is happening is that... people are slowly adopting the Sony cams, simply for its features... once they get it they don't like the colors or skin tones. But they've still adopted it and said "screw it..." getting used to those colors. I see a major shift coming... such that people start getting used to Sony colors and saying... thats what I want. Here is to hoping that Canon fails... and starts saying "what the fuck did we do?" Starts downsizing and starts firing that whole marketing and research department.
  21. Correction, 7D uses CF cards. And... From what I know about ML on 7D... With 5X zoom... It can do 2.5K
  22. I wonder if you can take the 20 MP sensor from a 6D and throw it in a 5D4, change a few pieces of a code around and voila... frankencamera!
  23. Yeah, if I was going to rate an actor for their acting chops, I wouldn't rate them from their worst movies. If I was to rate Robert Downey Jr., I would rate him using Tropic Thunder and Chaplin. The Rock, the only movie he was good in is "Be Cool" - he played a Gay Hit Man - funny shit though.
  24. Well... what a... *I'm not going to say it* Here is to looking at a 5DC someday.
  25. Night for day - (minus) 1 And low light cam - (minus) 1 If you've ever done videos at night or even indoors where you control the light with externals... There is no going back. Invest in lights with V-mount battery adapter.
