  1. I’m going to chime in here...

    And, this could be purely anecdotal... but I’m sure many of you guys will be able to relate.

    The reality is that young people are watching movies on their mobile phone or tablets.

    I find myself doing this once in a while, but I can’t imagine doing this every single time. I do it in times of convenience (e.g. when I’m on the go; or when someone is already watching something on the television that isn’t as interesting to me; or when I can’t find what I want to watch on TV... etc.). And, whenever possible (if it’s possible), where I have to share what I am watching on my phone... I just mirror my phone screen with the media box that I am using...

    I don’t think televisions are a dying breed... especially with streaming services like Netflix, Crave and Hulu around... my wife and I peruse through Netflix when we aren’t busy and the kids are in bed. They have some decent content and I’d rather watch that on our 40in TV than a 5in cell phone.

    What I do notice is my reliance in front of a desktop has reduced A LOT.... I would spend hours upon hours on them.... even now... this post is directly from my phone. I only ever touch my desktop for video/photo editing and the rare instances where I need to scan something and/or need the word processor.

    @webrunner5 I'm sorry that you have to and/or had to go through that... I can't fathom what you've been through, and I really can't imagine being away from a movie theatre that long. 

    Speaking of which, I don't think Movie Theaters are a dying breed either.... those are alive and well, in my opinion - no theater is closing down due to lack of business in my area. In fact, some days - especially on opening night - the popular movies are sold out (at least where I live - and its been like that for years now).

    Have fun with that in post. Personally I’ll be happy with 12 bit Raw in downsampled 4K 24p. 

    I doubt this sensor will see the light of day in a hybrid. 

    I agree, I have a feeling that these sensors are going straight into the Venice line.

    And, I agree that we will have a hard time editing them now, but we can keep them for later????

    I don’t know... we are constantly looking at gear and comparing, having G.A.S.... and eventually upgrading...

    May be having one camera like this that will rule them all will stop us from looking, comparing and upgrading... and actually concentrating on content.

    New info from trusted source, good credibility but may be subject to change:

    The overheating is due to LSI and ISP being barely able to cope with over 1.5Gpps data from the sensor, which is likely the 60MP IMX551, same 3.76um pixel architecture as X-T3 IMX571 but equipped with 12-parallel ADC (higher number than A9).

    If that's the case, then the "S" in A7SIII is a drastic departure from the traditional concept that sensitivity requires low pixel count. Well, as A7III has demonstrated, it performs better in low light than A7SII, despite having twice the pixel count.

    You sure this trusted source isn’t peeking on the development of the a7r4???

    But then again, it does fall inline with that 8K talk... so the S line is more video oriented than the others.

    Thats one of the reasons I did the X-Pro2. You can just hit record at any time. Also one of the reasons I got the EOS-R.

    From all reports that I am hearing - you need to go through 3 different hits/processes to get from photo to video (and vice versa) on the EOS-R???

    ...quite far from real use 98% of people will make for this camera

    Isn't that Canon's motto?

    - 98% doesn't need 4K (2012 to 2016) - the top 2% can afford a $12000 camera

    - 98% doesn't need 4K FF (2012 to current) - it was a cropped sensor since the 1dc 

    - 98% doesn't need 4K/60p (2016 to current) - still need to buy a $6000 1dx2 or $8000 c200...

    so on and so forth....

    Those pictures are of two completely different devices... not a device with a mod attached. I'll go out on a limb and suggest that this phone is nothing more than hype. If Samsung and Apple cannot create a camera phone that is better than a dedicated camera of the same vintage, then Red will not be the one to crack that particular nut.

    I'll give you that... they are 2 different devices...

    But, the one and the only reason why this device is interesting is because its coming from a company that specializes in cinema cameras...

     Samsung isn't going to above and beyond, and they have a slew of other products...

    Now, you can say... then Apple should be able to... they were a computing company before they got into cell phones... smart phones was an obvious choice.

    Now, I know you have your doubts.... so do I... but this patent picture is the ultimate mod in my eyes... for this alone.... makes the hydrogen interesting to me:

    BTW, I didn't pre-order and I'm not one of their beta-testers.... if the above patent becomes a reality... then I will definitely pick up a hydrogen when it becomes available to the masses

    I saw the video too. Nothing appears earth shattering about it, for the moment. The hype was so high, that if it doesn't outperform a SonyRX100, it will be disappointing. Which it won't and can't, because it probably uses a sensor on the lines of the Note9 or the iPhone Max. 

    I agree, I don't think it will outperform a Sony RX100 either...

    BUT... I also wonder if it can with this add-on...

    I'm waiting for a GH9

    Wait for the SHX.... they will merge the GH series with the S1 series to produce hybrid Super35/APS-C camera that will trump all other hybrid Super35/APS-C cameras that preceded it.

  9. I'm going to keep what I have now and wait to see whats available in 3 to 4 years... who knows may be I will cop a x-t3 -> 3 to 4 years down the line.

    Ultimately, I would like to see an affordable Hasselblad X2D or X3D with 4K RAW @ 120p ?

  10. "Want" in many instances will supersede "need".

    Can you get by with a m43, of course you can... but many people still crave FF.

    In the same respect, if you know MF is great for both stills and video, and that the industry is slowly moving that direction... why not crave that too... but you can still get by with a m43.

    For me, as I stated in another thread, I think given... that thats the direction its all going... I'm going to save up for the next 3 or 4 years (using whatever I have right now till then) and get myself a Fuji GFX 100S or Hasselblad X2D if one or the other comes with all the bells and whistles discussed on this forum...  

    Despite my own wants and needs... I would still recommend the XT3 - amazing bang for buck, hands down.

    @mkabi Comparing the X-T3 to the 1DXMk2 is a bit strange to me. The Fuji is a great camera with great build, but I would never consider it to be a replacement for the 1DXMk2. For me it is a wonderful little travel camera, whereas the 1DXMk2 is a workhorse. I just got in the Fuji today, so who knows my opinion could change, but I really doubt it's going to. If you are planning on getting into a system, there is nothing at all wrong with Canon's flagship DSLR.

    It’s just a personal recommendation... I’m not really comparing...

    Im sure if we are pixel peeping, etc... we should be able to discern one camera from another and I’m talking specifically about the output (or end-product) of the cameras; and I’m not just talking about the 1dx2 vs XT3... you can include the GH5/S, A73, etc in this conversation... by the way... did you do that black and white Image Quality test between the 1dx2 versus the GH5S??? What were your findings?

    My recommendation was based on small, simple, comparable IQ, relatively cheap (non-commitment type cheap), all the high-end specs in almost a throw away type camera... I feel anything in the $2K+ automatically and immediately gets you in the committed zone. Then, your defending your purchase decisions etc. You can build this camera up to be almost like the 1dx2...
