  1. Btw there is also a time limit of 5 minutes in 120fps.... probably to control the overheating...... the pre-roll would be cool but probably it will overheat.... For me 4k 120fps FF with AF in a 4k usd body if the quality is what it seems to be I'm very impressed. Also cool that it has APS-C 4k crop... curious to see the rolling shutter and how ibis on and off behave on a gimbal. 8k RAW are huge but in proportion of a C500 II 6k RAW so not so out of this world but for sure only for short takes... Is the histogram available while recording?
  2. Who is shooting long take at 120 fps? If the quality is good I really don’t care the size. No other ff 120 fps on the market period, not even for 50k usd..... and this with AF... Need to check some 120 fps would be cool to see some original files not ytube stuff Edit: did watch Peter 120fps clip in 4k and it looks really promising.... I did not expect that quality to be honest at 120 fps.... Any other clips around at 4k 120fps ?
  3. SH1 6k 29.7 ms, 4k 24,2 ms and with basically no AF GFX100 4k 28 ms..... Sony A9 4k is also in this ball pack..... The big complain is that they should have switched to faster readout if you go MF...... at 30, 25 and 24.
  4. On Canon so far 120 is hfr option separated from the normal framerates
  5. H265 4:2:2 10bit currently is not HW accelerated by Nvidia or by intel quicksync. Nvidia 10xx supports 10 bit 4:2:0 and 20xx supports 10bit 4:2:0 and 4:4:4 but no 4:2:2 On resolve you need to disable quicksync to playback h265 10bit 4:2:2....
  6. As I’m on windows it could be that Resolve on Mac has issues that are not on Windows. Do you take long takes or short? Mine are normally between 2 min and 10min max per take. Did you try to low level format the cards and then format on the camera. But first do a low level formatting not sure how to do it on Mac... Ps I don’t use the sandisk cfexpress usb card reader as mine was not working as many others have reported....
  7. I only use card recommended and tested by the manufacturer as I had bad experience in the past for example lexar cfast 3400 were really problematic. No gambling on media
  8. Canon recommend and list sandisk cfexpress and for 5.5k only above 128 GB due to speed. Nobody seems to be using the sony cfexpress so it could be your card has issue with the camera or it cannot sustain the speed. I have 2 512gb and 1 256gb sandisk no problem at all so far. I shoot 90% in RAW and I don’t have any issue with stability in Resolve other than gpu out of memory if I have a 5.5k timeline with many nodes( 8 gb vram). I’ editing on a 3 years old gaming notebook. I shoot and edit weekly.... What machine do you have?
  9. Assuming that the LiveView AF is similar to the 1Dx III, EF lens would work very well at least the one that I have. There will be probably a few good used deal for EF and for video with the ND adapter are probably a better value. The 50 1.2 EF is small lighter and cheaper than the RF counter part. But the RF is definitely sharper but also almost 3x of a used 50 1.2 The RF 70-200 is interesting due to the collapsible nature but not sure is worth 3x the price of a used 70--200 II The 28-70 2.0 is very cool but with a filter size of 95mm is a bit of a challenge for ND, there are some ND that you can mount inside the throat of the camera... also very expensive and heavy and is not internal zoom so for gimbal is a problem. The RF lens seems all better than the EF counterpart but are they 3x the price better? To note that the variable ND adapter does not come with a clear filter so you need do buy that on top or buy also the normal adapter that is cheaper than the clear filter......
  10. Market is shrinking massively and will continue so, too many players. This is the first of many to come... covid probably will just accelerate this. Pro market and serious hobbits are the only markets that will exist and are much smaller than consumer one.
  11. I have no idea with Premiere just use VLC player and check the codec info
  12. In Resolve on a 8GB VRam gpu with 5.5k raw is no problem on a 4k dci timeline but on a 5.5k timeline sometime I get gpu out of memory so I need to be more carful on the nodes.... 8k timeline could be problematic with 8GB Vram with just basic nodes. I use above 4k timeline to pull pictures and to save a master if I don’t want to keep the original raws to save storage. So not a big issue for me but worth to mentioning.
  13. Yep both Nvidia and Intel QuickSync currently they don’t support h265 4:2:2.... Nvidia 20xx platform can do 4:2:0 and 4:4:4 but not yet 4:2:2 Hopefully with more camera using it they will improve. I’m sure even software only the NLE could optimize more. On windows / resolve a i7-9900k can do it software only.
  14. Not supported yet start/stop or any functionality over the usb. You should drop a msg on dji ronin s forum there is a thread about 1dx iii support.... I set that I can start stop with the shutter that is easier to reach
  15. All the 1Dxiii frame rates are 4:2:2 h265 10bit if LOG is ON if LOG is OFF they are 4:2:0 H264..... Did you check the metadata with a tool ?
  16. Yep crazy time so many players and so many choices..... The Nanlite 200 looks cool kind of good compromise between power and transportability..... but 699 usd .... the 300 at 750 usd (currently in discount) is probably a better buy.
  17. You don't lose light as if you lose 2 stop of light then the image will be underexposed by two stop at the same settings ss, aperture and iso between oversampling vs line skipping/binning. If you are oversampling or line skipping the gain on the sensor is the same and so is the aperture and ss for that exposure. In theory you can get more noise with line skipping/binning as oversampling masks some of the noise but at pixel level the noise is exactly the same. On the 1Dx III 1080 FF 120fps binned is for sure not more noisier than 5.5k FF at pixel level, of course if you scale done the 5.5k is sharper and less noisy. So I expect the R5 to be similar but who knows
  18. Why line skipping / binning would you loose light? You may get a less sharper picture, aliasing but you don't lose light. 5.5k 24 fps exposed at 1/250 iso 400 f 2.8 will have the exact same exposure as 1080 120fps line skipping or binning at the same SS, aperture and iso. Of course you need faster ss so instead of 1/60 for 30 fps you would need to go 1/250 for 120 but this is normal and nothing to do with the sensor type and for sure R5 that apparently will be FF 120 will not be any less usable than any other 120 fps camera. The point that crop is better in low light is normally the inverse as any Canon camera so far are more noisier at 1-1 pixel crop than scaled down or pixel binned or line skipping. Just look at the C500 II as an example, the 1Dx III 120 is less sharp but way less noisy (2x crop vs FF). If you want deeper DOF FF is not the camera for you, I want shallower DOF so I can have a look that is different than iPhone. Why do I mention iPhone because is a fairly capable HFR camera (btw I hate filming with phones and iPhone in particular as the workflow is just terrible. Why they don't offer a microSD just to sell you super expensive storage... yes I have an iPhone) So personally I would prefer to shoot 4k 120fps FF with a 50 1.2 at 1.4 than 4k 2x crop at 24mm 1.4..... (ca same framing same exposure different DoF)
  19. RAW does not have log, you select the log type that you want to process on your NLE, in resolve you can select the various logs including Clog2 or go directly to BT 709. So same clip can be outputed in Clog2 and Clog3 etc... the 500 II should be the same for RAW. If you select a log type on C500 II I expect that is metadata added to RAW that Resolve will pick up but you can change it at anytime. Proxy are affected by the log setting so if it is on you will get 4k 10bit h265 Clog if off you get 8 bit h264 no log. But you will not get Clog2 in the proxy. To make things more complex the log setting also control the RAW highlight protection and minimum iso. You have 3 settings log off (min iso 100, no hl protection, less noise) D+ (min iso 200 some hl protection, potentially more noisy) Log on (min iso 400, max hl protection, more noisy). In chapter 3.4 is explained how RAW, proxy and log settings affect the capture https://downloads.canon.com/nw/camera/products/eos/1d-x-mark-iii/resources/Canon_EOS_1DX_Mark_III_Video_White_Paper.pdf (joke mode on: I hope this link is allowed here 🙂 joke mode off) At least I would wait for the official announcement that hopefully it would give some details like if it has crop mode or not etc... my plan is to wait a few review and if it is good add it remote camera for photo (mostly ice hockey net cam and horse show jumping) and B or A video with the 1Dx being my main action camera and A or B video depending which one is better.

    RED Komodo

    The 2k 120fps is not better than the 1Dx III 120fps quite soft 😞
  21. A team normally have 1 photog and 1-2 video guys. Being able to do both at the same time will reduce the crew at least of 1 person. Being on the same spot and doing video and photo at the same time is a big cost saving and you can cover more locations and time of the day. As with car you normally pan with slower shutter speed most of the time then you can really have the best of both on on 1 or 2 passes. As there are 160 teams the coverage that you get from TV is fairly limited so for sponsors and social media etc. most of the team have a media team dedicated. So delivering a high quality video and still out from the same 15-20 second clip is a big plus. Btw is nothing new that photo was taken 2017 and near me was a video guy with a RED doing exactly this video and photo at the same time.... but he had to MF something that I don't even wanna try...
  22. 1Dx II, 200-400, 1/100 The above is a good example of one of my uses case by shooting video 5.5k at 1/100 I would be able to deliver some pictures at the same quality plus a short clip of that segment for the video. As the track is very long the car of the team that you follow pass by only every 8-9 minutes so I do two passes and move to another turn to get another perspective. Doing two jobs in one. The mtb shoots are 5.5k screen grabs taken in resolve 5.5k timeline, only canon lut applied clog2 to rec709 For me I take AF with bad RS than just good RS. But they could at least offer you the choice by going “turbo” when in manual focus mode. For me I would prefer to have AF on 5.5k 60 than better rolling at 30..... but gettin AF at 60 would solve the issue at 30😂 I owned 1D iii, iv, x, xii and now xiii so the price that I used to pay for just a sports camera it give s me a good video camera too.
