    A simple LUT smoothing fixes it, it's easy to do in Matlab, but I couldn't create an online version yet. It's on the todo list

    Dear Fuji
    If you are reading, please do make a dedicated video camera, but keep the XH2 as a hybrid.
    Thanks
    A lot of folks

    Stathman reacted to Andrew Reid in Fuji X-H2 - They can't decide whether to cancel it... Or?   
    The X-H1 seems to be £699 brand new at the moment and I don't see how Fuji make any money at that price. It's such a well built and high-spec camera. The shutter mechanism alone is one of the most advanced mechanical designs in any modern camera on the market. If I were them, I'd have released the X-H2 already and bumped the price back up, getting shot of the old one. I thought it might have been discontinued at one stage, but I think they are still making them and sales seem ok?
    I'd argue with Fuji that the difference in design and operability alone does allow it to coexist quite happily!

    The X-H1 was nigh on perfect, Fuji should just put the X-T3 sensor & 10bit in it and get it out the door. I don't see the need for any complete re-imagining to be honest, although some sort of electronically variable ND glass over the sensor would be nice.

    Stathman reacted to BTM_Pix in Panasonic S1 V-LOG -- New image quality king of the hill   
    To be honest, I think we've had our fun with that type of stuff and Panasonic have tightened it up but on the off chance I'd start with examining what modes that the S1H has that the S1 doesn't and take it from there.
    FYI, though, I had a brief look at the S1H that @Andrew Reid had with him in Barcelona and the authorisation routine has changed so that will need working around as well.

    Stathman reacted to ImagineArt in Sigma FP - 4k RAW Dynamic Range   
    So far I am enjoying RAW 4K on the FP minus the fact I still can't see what I shot in camera. What are your experiences with Sigma's RAW performance and what are your thoughts on the dynamic range recovered in RAW? Below is a little stress test I shot in Boston a few months ago.

    From keeping up with the thread myself, I'd say:
    1) IBIS, but this is controversial... some are just saying the testers are being unrealistic
    2) overheating? (although like the latest video said which raised this "issue", if you flip out the screen then that releases the heat. But he didn't go into how much longer the camera can go if you flip it out always?)

    Remember, the X-T4 is still only pre order, wait until it ships and gets into more hands before judging it!

    A peek for you of the first shot from the GFX 100 shoot with @BTM_Pix
    Edit is ongoing!
    This isn't "perfectly" in focus but it'll give you an idea of the kind of creamy 10bit tones from this "medium format Alexa".
    The dynamic range is extreme.
    This was shot in classic chrome. I shot a lot of F-LOG and the files are deeper than Oscar Wilde.

    The XH2 will still come. 

    In reality the XH1 should have been the XT3 with IBIS and the XT3 should have been what the XT4 is. That said its ok, Fuji is still doing more than most companies. 

    TBH The XT4 will be an ideal camera. Nice bright screen, IBIS, great image as per Fuji, and great battery life(especially with a grip). It needs to get rid of the record limits tho.

    Still beyond me why Fuji dropped their best LCD hinge implementation - the XT100. That one and the S1R are the best LCD hinges, pleased everyone - flip and flippy at the same time.

    I believe that everyone who used X-T3 and X-H1, all wished for a camera with X-T3's guts in an X-H1 body. 
    It seems that this is exactly what we get, plus some extras.
    Keep the price at 1500$ and I couldn't be any happier. 😉

    Stathman reacted to Andrew Reid in Sigma Fp review and interview / Cinema DNG RAW   
    Downscales as well.

    So 7:1 compressed Cinema DNG at, say, 3.5k is just a transcode away with the Sigma Fp.
    Going to give it a go.
    Perhaps I can give you some Cinema DNG frames out of my camera.
    Here is a 12bit 1080/60p frame off the SD card, and same shot but 8bit 1080/60p to give you an idea of how that holds up.
    Also included a 4K 8bit shot.
    I recommend opening in Photoshop, push it around a lot. You will see the difference especially in the shadows.
    I think this camera is also unique in that it is doing 120fps 1080p in ALL-I. Usually Long-GOP compression is used for high frame rates.
    By the way the MOV 4K quality is VERY good indeed. They did not compromise on the codec. It's like a pocket S1. Don't think it is doing 10bit MOV H.264 but it looks damn good.
    PS
    CDNG 12bit 1080p at 24p = 633Mbit/s
    CDNG 8bit 1080p at 24p = 422Mbit/s
    Still quite large. Get the big SDs ready.

    Its just the regular MC-21 that has already been released so around $250 for EF version and around $125 for the SA version.
    The MC-31 is stil TBA but I'd guess it will be closer in price to the Wooden Camera PL to L mount at $499 than it will to the Leica one at $1399.
    For a budget option, Fotodiox now do one for around $150.
    For a really budget option, you can download the 3D files off Sigma and print one yourself !
