    Well, just got reply from Atomos about the bad pixel issue in 6.2K raw:

    Please note that our engineering has gone over your case and replicated and tested your setup.
    Unfortunately, the issue lies with the camera as it is outputting the bad pixel in 6.2 k RAW.
    We would love to help you fix the issue but as it is on the camera end our hands are tied.
    Please contact the camera manufacturer to get this issue resolved.

    Fuji doesn't give a shit about my emails, so I wouldn't expect a fix anytime soon. This, and the framerate issue, and also the fact that Fuji's ProRes RAW has noticeably less dynamic range than F-Log, not to mention F-Log2, makes me loose faith in this company, they do a lot of things right but they always have to fuck up little things like this.

     

    I heard back from Atomos support as well last week. They said the exact same-thing to me.

    I called Fuji to report the feedback from Atomos and the guy told me he tried the exact combo himself and doesn't see it but his tone was shit… He seemed very uninterested and dismissive. He actually said its not a problem for the camera, blamed Atomos, and said just because 3 or 4 cameras have this issue doesn't mean its a problem for the camera. I’m thinking they have known about the issue and sitting and quietly scaling customer feedback. I emailed them last Wednesday and haven't received response to that email. I guess it's a shoot internally for now wait and see game. I really like the camera as its fun to use but for my first time dealing with Fuji support I am very disappointed.

    As you mention the dynamic range internally is better. I’m just gonna use my SmallHd indie 5 monitor and stick with F-Log2

    Thanks but I meant an actual still image from the recorded clip, so that I can check the exact location. 

    You're welcome. I will when I can as I am currently away from home. I had that image in my phone from when I first reached out to Atomos support. I did come across a post on Instagram where another guy mentioned the same issue in 6.2K raw. He said the pixel was in the same location as mine going off the image.

    Does anyone use the X-H2s with a Ninja V Plus? Some of my 6.2K 24fps clips are stuttering badly, only every second frame is different, so it's basically 12fps. It happens and goes away by random camera actions. So if it's good and you don't touch the body it stays good. But even refocusing can make it bad. The camera is in boost mode, I hit recording on the body as well, newest firmware everywhere. The cable I'm using is HDMI2.1 8K60 certified, should be more than enough. I'm out of ideas really, I hope it's a user error but I fear that it's not.

    I have them both, a X-H2s with two Ninja V+ recorders. Neither Ninja presented any stuttering but both units have a single pixel that is stuck on center of screen in 6.2K any frame rate. This pixel is also on the off loaded footage, but again in 6.2K only. It does not happen when recording 4K of any frame rate. I sent Atomos clips to review and they believe its firmware on their end. Not sure they'll move on it too soon if others aren't reporting it but to me it seems most X-H2s users are using the Ninja V and not the Ninja V+.

    Just to follow up, in case anyone is reading.

    Turns out it was definitely more my settings (which I had jiggered oddly to work around the old firmware). Setting everything back to stock then selecting continuous, area, sensitivity at 0, and speed at -4 and I'm quite happy with the results for moving images. Nice update!

    Good to hear. I read your initial post on the 3.0 update and I was 🤷‍♂️ lost because from what I can tell with the small amount of time I've had to shoot anything since updating I definitely see improvement and I was pretty cool with the AF before the update.

    He didn't say there will be never a S1H.  And even if he had, it is still very hard to predict what will happen in three or five years time... never say never to a possibility. 

    But yes, I agree with him (as he's a pretty good source!), just saying that my post didn't contradict it at all. 

    He didn't say never but he did say "they ( the s5ii and s5iiX ) are the new flagship cameras and there won’t be an S1H II" which sounds pretty close to the S1H line is history. Either way, I cant see how the newly released S5 model cameras replace the need for a S1H refresh.

    The USB-SSD recording and IP streaming are also unique to the S5iiX. If there's any chance you'll someday want the $200 raw upgrade to the regular S5ii, it's worth just ponying up at the start and getting the S5iiX for these extras IMO.

    Yep, that is the only consideration to make. For just 200 more, the S5 II X seems to be the best way to go. I honestly would have expected them to have external raw options in the S5 II since the s5 already has prores and b-raw support.

    The Sony A1 have overheating problems with 8k? (really don't know)

    About Fuji, the rumours say that there will the two cameras - a 40mp that records 8k, and a X-H2s with a new 26mp stacked sensor. Albeit the 40mp model will record 8k, I guess that the "s" model will be more video oriented, with less rolling shutter and probably 120fps modes.

    I had the A1 for about three months until I sold it, never experienced overheating during that three month period though.

  8. This site is largely responsible for me grabbing the GH1, my First camera. From there I picked up every GH release since all the way to the GH5 with a BMPCC stuck in there. You could say for sure Andrew and EOSHD was the OG camera influencer. 

    I haven't logged on much recently but definitely lurk consistently cause even now it's one of the best sources for real info.

    Whatever is decided, I wish you the best @AndrewReid and will definitely stay tuned.

    Huh...I just see v2.1 on Canon USA. 
     

    Yes, it's not there, or it wasn't when checked earlier... they listed it on the US press release but it's updates are always kinda slow for the US site. I have made a habit of looking on the Japan site on release dates. 

    anyways, I'm running 2.2 from the provided link, and have no issues seeing the files on FCPX.

    I can’t get the new RAW light files to display in Final Cut Pro on a M1 MBP. I can import them but the video files are just all black. There is sound and FCP correctly applied Canon Log2 in the settings. Strange. Files playback fine on R5.

    Did you get the Canon RAW Plugin 2.2 for Final Cut Pro X?

    Am I wrong to say that that camera looks fantastic? As much as I dislike Canon right now that body is what dreams are made of. I can only imagine the codecs, AF, colors, and gimbal shots possible with that camera, and I doubt it would be $6K, it will have to cost less than the C200 so I'm thinking it will be around $3K but after lenses you might as well say it will be $6k.

     

    Probably no internal ND filters and maybe no XLR audio, no 4K120FPS,  typical Canon cripple hammer style.

    The picture is said to be the actual camera and shows internal ND control buttons. They definitely wont allow it to hinder the possible c200 update, c300 mkiii or c500 mkii.
