After almost two months with the 1Dx III these are the biggest negatives for me: - No DPAF if FF 50/60 fps - Bad rolling shutter in FF 30,25,24. Now if it would have DPAF at 50/60 you could shoot RAW 50 fps with a 360° shutter and would be the best for me as you can have slow motion and you have a <16ms rolling shutter and RAW. 1.3 Crop the rolling shutter is good <16 so you have options but no RAW. - No live histogram, waveform or zebra (this is the most puzzling one but was always like this on Canon). An external monitor fix this but I hate to have cables and one thing more to power. - terrible menu to select the framerate, resolution, format, crop.... you really need to pay attention what you select. - no flippy screen - 1080 120fps is pretty bad same as 1Dx II But the DPAF is incredible even for sport and action videos. I can have somebody running, biking, galloping at me with a 200-400 with a nucleus nano as poor man zoom rocker at have almost perfect focus. With the various AF zones is much better than the 1Dx II that I used to own. I love RAW as the workflow it resolve is native if I'm doing short takes I always do it in RAW. 5.5 you can crop reframe stabilize with no loss of quality and pull picture out (this I'm doing quite a bit). And the video quality is very good. With all the modes with crop and not and all the various encoding option you have ton of choice for every possible situation from 8bit IPB to 5.5k RAW. Also the audio amp seems much better. I don't care about IBIS as for video is either tripod or gimbal. Also the EVF is not key for me as on gimbal is useless and on tripod not that convenient. I prefer OVF for sports photography. In Resolve you need better HW for 10bit LOG than for RAW. Also strange that IPB LOG are faster than ALL-I LOG. Not sure I would recommend it to video shooter only mostly due to the price but if you need also a sport/action picture body it is really amazing camera. Curious to see the R5 4k 60 if it is no crop and super sampled so <16 rolling shutter and the 4k 120fps. My plan is to own both as I need two body.

Did some better tests with horse showjumping (complex bg with foliage, fences and sharp turns of the horse) at 1/400 and adding motion blur in resolve is not that great too many artifacts I prefer the video without motion blur. I need to try the plugin to see if the result is better.

Is RSMB much better that the motion blur in Resolve Studio? I may need to test it out the free trial.... price is fair if it is much better than resolve motion blur filter The biggest advantage for me is to take frame grabs as photo and with higher ss is easier to stabilize or slow down with motion estimation...

This is a frame pulled from the video at 1/200 (for a photo a bit on the limit as you can see on the horse legs that are a bit too blurry), I have the video with added mention blur if I have the time I can pull the frame with the blur to compare. Forget the horrible location etc. as here most of the things are still closed. Goal is to provide picture like this but also some video snippets for social media etc.. this is a photo that I took at 1/1000.... so probably something 1/400 maybe a good compromise....

Yep we posted in another thread about adding motion back using Resolve..... I did experiment more so it depends a lot on the scene and background as just a tad of blur does not add too many artifacts in case of complex bg like a metallic fence can cause bad artifacts. My test was a show jumping horse in a parkour the goal is to pull picture at 1/250 or 1/500 and have a usable video. So to an untrained eye you can fool them but for real pro work not sure I would use it. But in case where photo has priority I will definitely use it.

Pure guess max 4500 at launch and 1 year down <4000.... biggest buyer group are photographers and more than this it becomes a nice product.

I was not really clear. I meant that I cannot get the same result like EIS by using Davinci various stabilization tools, it is kind of expected as Davinci does not use gyro data (not even sure that canon writes the gyro metadata in the file).

I'm probably bad, but I cant get the same stabilization that EIS is giving me in post with Davinci stabilaizer

It will be the same as 1Dx II so ca 1.34

Hard to judge from the rumors.... 4k 60 is it FF or not is 10 bit and or RAW with or without DPAF? If it is FF 4k 60 supersampled 10bit with DPAF then imo is not underwhelming at all.

The huge files myth: 4k dci mjpg 8 bit 30 fps 500 Mbits 4k dci h265 All-i 10 bit 30 fps 470 Mbits other than the obvious 8 vs 10 bit is that h265 10bit needs around 2.5x the compute power to processed them.... if mjpg would be 10 bit I would take this any day vs 265..... Also the crop in the 1Dx II is there at all frame rates in 4k not only at 60fps. But yes it produces a very nice video

Canon C500 II, C300 III, 1Dx III, Gopro, Insta (done in post with the gyro data) etc they do what steadxp is doing in camera. Sony FX9 collect the gyro and lens data and you can do it in post with their software. Maybe stedxp is more advanced but not so sure. There is no magic is not gimbal like but it is ok. wide lens + good dof + high ss + good light make the result better. 360 camera as they have the full image they are just above anything with EIS but also there no magic sometime it wobbles and the more low light the worst it gets (also due to the SS going down).

Why would not be possible as camera makers know exactly the RS plus lens data etc so they could. Anything done by external software would be possible internally assuming enough cpu power.

Afaik EIS also using gyro, canon, gopro, insta etc....

If you would use the camera for sport/action photography 1dx III is probably a better choice. For mostly video I would wait and check the R5. I normally have 2 1Dx (current and previous gen) but I now only have 1Dx III and planning to get the R5 as for remote 12fps mechanical is more than enough and don't need the best af tracking lag free shutter etc.... The R5 can or could be better than the 1Dx for video in the following: - It will have zebra - 4k 120 fps even if it is line skipping or binning it will be better that the 1080 120fps of the 1Dx (that is not great) - flippy screen! - EVF - 8K can become handy to punch in reframe etc.. - pretty sure it will be cheaper 1Dx is better: - RAW in 50, 60fps - 5.5k RAW (smaller) and easier to edit than 8k RAW - longer battery life - dual card same type (can record 4k 10bit proxy in one card and RAW in the other one, not sure) Unknowns - video quality (1Dx III 5.5 and 4k super sampled is really good) - rolling shutter - DR - DPAF performance

1Dx iii FF 5.5 at 50 and 60 has a rolling shutter < 16.6ms not sure why at 24,25,30 is higher maybe due to dpaf or whatever reason. The rolling shutter in any crop mode 24,25,30,50,60 and FF 50,60 fps is the same or very similar and quite good (ca 16ms). FF 24,25 and 30 is very noticeable. Did not measure it but just went through all of them doing quick swipe pans.

only 4:2:0... 4:2:2 is not HW accelerated so you need a powerful cpu......

I normally use 24 fps timeline (some time if is for tv 25 fps I'm a PAL country). I use the following settings: Motion Estimation always Better, Motion Ra... depends how big are movements so either small, medium or large and then I play with the Motion Blur slider until I find the spot that looks good. Again it will never be the same as real as some motion are very complex. I should try to do a repeatable test with 180° and one with 1/250 and 1/500 + motion blur in post.

I'm experimenting a bit like this using high SS and adding motion blur back as I have sometime the requirement to have photo and video at the same time. I also use remotes for photo but still would be nice to combine both so kind of compromise SS 1/250 or so... The motion estimation of Resolve is not too bad, is not like the real thing but it can fool non critical eyes. I also add motion blur for time shifts or with 360 camera where there are no NDs.... I did also experiment a bit using 5.5k 60 fps and slowing down in Resolve like it was done 120fps and not always but many times the result is much better than 1080p 120fps of the 1Dx The EIS in the 1Dx III with wide-angle lens and higher SS works quite well especially if you are not running around or so. Slowly moving works quite well but definitely not like on a Gimbal.

You can also change focus, use it to do rack focusing and so on. With the 1dx ii wifi adapter the lag and refresh rates were quite ok maybe 15-20 fps or so. I did use it a couple of time on a cablecam to monitor while piloting the gimbal. With the 1dx iii internal wifi seems much slower and the lag is much bigger it is ok to control the camera but not good for monitoring.

The cool thing about using bluetooth is that is not affecting the battery that much. So it works like this: you open the app it connects via bluetooth to the camera and tell the camera to turn on wifi and then you are prompted by the app to join the wifi. So I always have Bluetooth on but wifi off in the camera... it just takes a bit more time to connect but is a good solution imo

Imo there is no marked for video dedicated camera below 4k usd it cost too much to produce vs the margin and quantity. The only way is reusing body etc. so there will be no more XC or maybe not even C100.... either will be photo camera with powerful video capability (Canon strategy) or modified version (Panasonic strategy).

Currently no Canon camera either DSLR or C line offers RAW in resolutions below the sensor wide. So a 8k sensor will be 8k RAW only, 5.5K will 5.5K RAW and so on.... So I don't expect any DSLR with 4K RAW from Canon at the moment.... The above is pure speculation.... I would not rule out 4k 10bit... probably no RAW if they go SD card only....

I find the 5.5k RAW quicker than 4k 10bit h265 in Resolve Studio on a PC.....

Looking at the images in the dpreview gallery the mavic air II is IMO worst than the mini for photo quality.... all the YouTube "looking only at the spec" reviewers they don't talk about this but it is disappointing.
