Clearly not stupid if you are a pro sports action hybrid shooter like the above. Probably the best tool on the market for that.

Yeah but the Sony's are 8-bit XAVC non-4K60 UHD cams, A9 doesn't even have log, pixel binning cams have other issues. Always some type of compromise with FF it seems..

32ms RS is definitely not a good number on a +$6K action/sports oriented camera! But it does looks like 4K RS is always on the high end (i.e +24ms) on all these hybrid FF cams. I guess this is an area where APS-C / Super35 still dominates (A6xxx series excluded!).

Personally, my interest for 1DX3 completely died down after R5 was rumoured shortly after. As for GFX100 vs 1DX3 vs XT4.. well 3 different sensor size cameras at 3 completely different budgets. Again personally, above the $6K line I'd rather be looking at dedicated cine cams.. especially if RS, NDs, XLR etc are of importance to you. XT4 definitely seems like best bang for buck at the moment, kinda like the new GH5. But if you're into FF (even if just for stills) you still may wanna invest in another hybrid system.

Yeah I definitely wasn't aware of a 2x crop mode on the XT4? can someone confirm this?

DPreview has a sample gallery up: https://***URL removed***/samples/5031669290/sony-xperia-1-mark-ii-sample-gallery Lotta NR at higher ISOs but overall nice from iPhone user perspective. it's got that Zeiss look.

The price is in alignment with other current flagships from Samsung (S20) and Apple (11 Pro). The Sony blows both out of the water on stills performance thanks to the 20fps with continuous Eye AF. Basically A9 performance in a smartphone. And the “cine” features on the video side. The sensors on the Sony & Samsung appears to be similar if not the same and are 30% bigger than iPhone 11 Pro’s and it shows with much better low light abilities. Obviously if you are a Sony Alpha or even XDCam shooter like myself, having that Venice CS alongside 10-bit could be a real asset for C-cam footage. I could see myself using it for sketchy locations where a big cam or even a mirrorless wouldn’t be tolerable. Or action, water sport scenes. Overall this is the first Android phone that catches my eye.

could be kinda interesting it seems aimed to be paired with alpha series..

55Mbps bitrate seriously?! Lmao.. cripple hammer now belongs to Sony. SMH Maybe not a good sign after all 😕

He said FF 4K so that eliminates Canon. 8-bit so I doubt its a Panny. Z6 already been eliminated. ..that pretty much leaves it to Sony? A73?

Lol could literally be any camera. Are the screen grabs SOOC or graded? Lot more interested in the lens than body TBH. You seem to have quite the collection of epic vintage glass!

By the way, sorry for the clickbait title but perhaps a sign towards what is to come in the next Alpha instalment? First time in a while (or ever period?) that Sony is placing pro CineAlta features in a consumer product!

4K60p. Venice CS. H265. 23.98FPS. A9 DPAF. Manual focus. Framing guides. Shutter Angle, 4K OLED display.. oh and it can also browse the internet & make phone calls: Xperia 1 II -6.5" 21:9 CinemaWide 4K HDR OLED display | Triple lens camera

Canon 5D IV Leica Q2 Fuji X100V Sony A9 / A9 II

Sensor tech is cool but I'm more excited about the overall package which Sony seems to be in a lead position with Alpha series team & Alta Cine pro line features trickling down into their new: Xperia 1 II 4K60p. Venice CS. H265. 23.98FPS. Manual focus. Shutter Angle etc.. Alongside triple lens Zeiss DPAF system.

What I meant is that the actual "leak" is BS. I remember a store in Luxembourg was taking pre-orders for the 1DX3 months ahead of release for 10K €. Just a highball estimate from a random store trying to get pre-orders & hype on rumour sites / google referencing. Everything points towards a 5D class product, adjusted for inflation and the newer tech I'd say were looking at around 4K-5K tops. The primary consumer is still going to be image and Canon won't sell a single R5 to photographers with a $7K price tag.

I call this "leak" total BS.. just a store trying to get buzz.

My biggest gripe with Z series was no internal Log. You also gotta go external for 10-bit & ProRes RAW. If Nikon addressed those three points and threw in 4K60p on a Mk2 they might be competing. But somehow I doubt anything is coming soon. Are there even rumors of a Mark II Z line?

I often shoot multi-cam setups with a C100/C200 so remote control comes in super handy. Its also very practical to transfer RAW stills or even video to an iPhone/iPad for editing/file sharing. Canon Connect is one of the rare camera apps that actually works.

remote control for canon smartphone app. but I think the point is camera could release soon as its passed global certification.

On design/build quality it's pretty hard to beat Leica. Fuji X being the poor mans Leica, I'd have to give them number one spot for style/ergonomics. I'm a sucker for dials, rangefinder systems & aperture rings. Ironically I don't own one at the moment (my XT2 got stolen) but XT4 is calling my name. Nikon Z is also a top contender for ergonomics. Super good balance of size, weight, buttons & quality. Too bad the system seems to have no momentum. Sony's are sleek.. but too many boring variations of the same body type. Menus are horrible. Overlays too. Feels like the GUI was designed by Sony-Ericsson team of 2004. Yes my FS7 remains a workhorses and imo best bang for buck cine cam, but it is clunky as hell to operate. Does get bonus points for shoulder mount conversion. Panasonic Imaging. Zero charisma. Never been a fan I'm afraid. Fully utilitarian design. No surprise they started out making micro wave ovens and vacuum cleaners. That heritage shows. Just kidding. S1 way too clunky/heavy for a mirrorless. Not fun to use. I do love EVA-1 & the old DVX cams. Canon. Not getting any design awards either. The whole rounded angle look inherited from DSLRs is getting dated. They do have the best grip though and clearest menu with fast responsiveness. Is that so much to ask for from other companies in 2020? Cinema line on the other hand are a joy to use, clever design all the way down to XC line. Again that grip.

Lol if it were Nikon you may have a case in point! DL series was a 1" sensor fixed lens premium compact line that was basically DOA. I have a really grim feeling for Nikon. They haven't diversified their business at all and D6 was a snooze fest. No buzz around Z series either. Shame really as I had high hopes for them. Absolutely nothing to do with the FF flagship monster spec that is R5. Canon are counting on R5/R6 to shift RF lenses. Pandemic may slow down release but it is coming, no doubt about it.

My guess is that a lot of these companies (especially those without cinema divisions) are just too focused on imaging and let video users be their beta testers. Another reason video AF was ignored for years and unusable because of hunting, quick jumps etc.. doesn't help IBIS isn't a tech normally associated with cine cams.

I certainly remember XH1 had this very issue on launch and it was commented on a lot. I read a firmware update fixed it but I dunno for sure. So maybe there is hope..
