I was hoping for something more on the MAX compared to the insta360 one X. The cool part is that it has 6 mics, gps (if I got it right) and 5m water resistant without case. Of course we need to compare the video quality before any conclusion. Really curios to see how the audio is, something that the insta360 one X is basically unusable especially in movement. Also not sure if it has desktop software for reframing other than the premiere plug-in as I only use Resolve.

Do mostly action and sports photos and videos. Pro Ice Hockey, Car Racing, Alpine ski, Trial Bike, Horse Show Jumping, Figure Skating, etc… Canon C500 II *Canon 1Dx II Canon M6 II + EF Adapter Chronos 2.1 *EF-M 22 2 *EF-M 11-22 *Canon 16-35 2.8 *Canon 24-105 4 *Canon 200-400 4 *Canon 24 1.4 *Canon 50 1.2 Canon 85 1.2 *Canon 8-16 fisheye Inspire 2 x7 + DJI x7 lens set *Insta360 one X 4x Aputure 300D + battery *Tripods *DJI Ronin Gimbal tons of other accessories *Already own. For action and sports I need AF, too hard to do it manually for me. Need at least 4k 60p so having canon lenses C500 II it is a no brainer. M6 II as small hidden remote camera where more than gopro / insta360 quality is needed. Inspire x7 would be a good step up, currently using a phantom 4 pro. Chronos would be for some special super slow motion, would never buy one but view that is a dream kit list….

No internal RAW, external RAW needs a add-on module, no 6k recording internal or external, DCI coming later, 60p coming later. Specs are not great hopefully the image quality will be

So you pay first and then get piece by piece through firmware updates..... is a new form of Crowdfunding? Basically the fw of the camera is far from finished....

Curious what framerates it has at what resolution....

@Kisaha yep the insta one x is misarble in low light.... The Ricoh 1" start to be usable for photos problem is that is week on video only 4k 30..... for video quality is below the insta…. I think already 8k from two 1" would already be a game changer... maybe in a year or so.... with dual cards I don't think it is a problem to save two 6k streams to be stitched to 8k problem is that they target consumers and editing on phones and low end PC would simply not work for 8k.... is already a stretch 5.7k

Fully agree especially with 360.... I played around with a samsung gear 360 2 years agoo and it was just crap, now I have 2 insta360 one x and the quality is still miserable when reframed but is so much easier to reframe in post.... small wide angle cameras like gopros, osmos, drone fix lens cameras have their days counted.... with 360 reframing and stabilization is just an easier game.... just need 8k or better 16k. Especially for things that you cannot retake is so much easier.... 360 camera vendors have the advantage that is not so easy to achieve the same freedom with phones so they may have a safer market

I’m all in for dslr/mirror less 8k just there are no target buyers for the olympics, who owns the broadcasting rights will not shoot it with that form factor.... sony still does not have a 4k 60p mirror less .... sony will probably invest in bringing broadcast camera with 8k and hfr for > 100k usd

Why you would use an 8k mirrorless for what? Bts, Non live interview? Or you want to use such camera for live broadcasting of olympics? To note that almost nobody get video rights especially for live parts. So why would sony invest in building a 8k smirrorles for olympics? A top successor of the A9 has more potential but for the still parts

Sport events are filmed using broadcast cameras and not cinema cameras. Sony has already a 8K broadcast camera and workflow: https://pro.sony/en_FI/products/4k-and-hd-camera-systems/uhc-8300

I agree the one x style cameras is the future of action cam and for some usage even normal camera. I have one and once reframed the quality is just barely usable but it is so much easier to film especially for things that you cannot retake.... making timeshift with this is soo easy... you can also mimic gimbal and drone shoot (using a long pole) with ease. Workflow could be better... lcd is almost useless as lowlight.... but reframing in post is just more easy and convenient.... similar form factor with 1inch 8k 24/5 fps and 5.7k 50/60fps I would buy even for 4 time the price

h264 is hw accelareted only in the paid version of resolve. I manage some light grading also on c200 raw at 24 fps

Buy a gaming notebook with at least 8 GB Video Ram. For resolve gpu ram is more important than the system RAM. I edit on a ASUS gaming notebook with 16 GB Ram and Nvidia GTX 1070 with 8 GB Ram. I edit 4k 60fps Mjpg and 4k 60 fps h264 without issue and without render cache or optimize media.

Is this picture supposed to be a good example? Imo is not that great.. but I don't know the conditions that it was taken... there is no detail on it... A somewhat similar picture form P4p (still not that great but better than the above):

I remember when I brought the 1Dx II more than two years ago and a lot of people were saying when the Sony A7s III will come, when the G5 will come, when this and when that.... 2.5 years after if you need 4k 60p and great AF the 1Dx II is probably still the best choice. It is not perfect but is a great camera. Considering that it is a 2.5 years old model I would try to find a used one instead of buying a new one... Pro: 4k60p with great quality Super video AF Solid codec 4:2:2 (funny that everybody is saying that the EOS R has fixed the codec but the ALL-I at 480Mbits is 4:2:0, I take the 1Dx II at 500Mbits 4:2:2, the addition of the 120mbits h264 is anyway welcome on the R) Very good rolling shutter 4k120p with AF (quality ok, not great) Super sports/actions camera for photo Very quick camera to operate Cons: No C-Log Expensive CFcard for 4k60 are expensive but got cheaper lately Big and heavy No Zebra Fix LCD If you do only video I think the C200 is a better buy but if you want a camera that does it all the 1Dx II is a solid choice (assuming that 4k60p and great video AF are key requirements)

Not sure about the 5d IV but the 1Dx II, wich I own, will record movie on the card that is set for playback. No paralell writing of movie. If you don’t trust me search the manual.

No canon dslr can write video on two cards simultaneously..... so even with the 1Dx II he would have had the same issue

Canon DPAF can AF continuously at 120fps in the 1DxII, I use it many times.....

Not sure how you would save exporting time by converting to another format, Resolve is definitely faster with MJPEG than h264 content... Saving space for archiving etc.. is another story and there h264 probably is probably the best as KinghtsFan has mentioned. Now 200 mbits vs 500 mbits it is an important save but converting takes time and some works, so I simply buy more storage and I keep the MJPEG.

Why you want to reencode? ... if you have a good enough machine you can edit MJPEG directly... If you want to save storage for conservation then h264 or h265 but to edit why somebody would convert to even bigger DNxHR 444 or ProRes 4444? PS: I use a 1Dx II and edit MJPEG directly in Resolve, sometime even directly from the CFcard.

If you test it with the 1dx ii please report back

From what I saw from Twixtor so far I doubt that is possible to use it for sports movements. I need to do something similar to this that was done in 2010 with a phantom flex: http://video1.nytimes.com/video/2010/08/24/9533_1_magtennis-victoria_wg_16x9_xxl_bb_mm.mp4 http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/08/29/magazine/womens-tennis.html I doubt golf, tennis, baseball can be faked with twixtor. Happy to be proved wrong

I want an additional camera for super slowmotion. I’m not expecting a FF to have 500 fps. I have a sport project where I need 480 fps or more. The sony rx the quality is to low. Best would be to rent a phantom flex but it is really expensive. Chronos could be an option but also not cheap and hard to find. Rent would be good but here nobody has one. 240fps is still to low and almost the best quality is the iPhone X that I used from some early tests

I have a 1dx II In addition I would love: C200 Compact mirrorless with 4k with great video AF compatible with canon lenses. Currently using an M5 but only fhd. An affordable (renting would be better) HFR camera, ideally > 480 fps in FHD
