I've got a bit of an old fashioned view on this which is that instead of everyone else running round like blue arsed flies that perhaps Canon themselves might want to have a go at it themselves.

OK but after you've finished doing your 9 1/2 weeks remake perhaps you could do some more testing of the R5.

There is also a relative relationship between the exif data temperature and the inhibitor triggers that are read from the internal temperature status monitor object. When the temperature goes up in the exif files the inhibitions increase in the camera. When the temperature comes down so do the inhibitions. Its like an inverse of a beach holiday to Magaluf.

Without pre-empting the next blog post too much, it is fair to say that we have noted some curiosities between the internal temperature status monitoring from the camera and the removal of recording inhibitors that have been previously triggered. It is unusual but also quite frustrating from a testing perspective to get it back to a clean state for each iteration.

It can in my imagination but clearly that doesn't chime with the actual facts ! I've no idea how I've got it into my head that it was shallower. In my defence I was primarily thinking of chips at the time.

These people you mean ? They can get to fuck over this to be honest after dismissing this issue out of hand and instigating that Twitter pile on when @Andrew Reid raised it. After that, any "article" they write about this should always open with "As pointed out by EOSHD but completely ridiculed by us because it was ruining our launch bliss and for which we now unreservedly apologise..." Maybe you just need to throw those ice cubes away and be more positive and it will go away @Andrew Reid

The Mac Pro actually contains components made by a dozen different US companies so it is a different situation to the REDMAGs. It also benefits from this somewhat opaque dispensation from the US government which allows it to satisfy the "Made In The USA" criteria. "The US manufacturing of Mac Pro is made possible following a federal product exclusion Apple is receiving for certain necessary components. " https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/09/apples-new-mac-pro-to-be-made-in-texas/

Apple are also very protective of that trademark due in part to the the nigh on 30 year series of legal disputes they had with Apple Corps (aka The Beatles) over the right to use it in the first place which eventually ended up with them paying a reported half a billion dollars to the loveable mop tops. Not before Apple had flouted previous agreements through that period though. The eventual settlement led to a fantastically awkward moment for BBC News when they invited an expert on to their live broadcast to give his insight into the case. He shared the same name as the expert, Guy, and arrived at the BBC at the appointed hour for an interview. Except it was for an interview for a job in the IT department.

If you look at their posting history its the same pattern all the time. Ask a question, get a reply, then they modify their original post so it has a link in it and/or reply to themselves including the link. The numeric user name is always a clue as well, as it is on social media although in this case they haven't even bothered putting a real christian name in front of it as they usually would on there. As is reviving two year old zombie threads about headphones which I see has just happened as well..... The problem becomes when they build up a history of posts that seem legit on the surface as people can be suckered by the veneer of credibility. Fortunately they don't usually last that long on here after the ridiculous long con that happened a few years ago by Ebrahim Saadawi has put people on their guard.

So he can hide spam links in his bio and the subsequent follow up posts he does. I'm pretty sure I know his brother 117273led8 from twitter 🙂

Again, like the R5 three, get to fuck with lifting stuff off Reddit so you can hide your spam in it.

I'd be very confused in the David v Goliath hot dog analogy if the vendor had one of these carts.

That was where I was going with it, that there might not actually be a GH6 and that the new "highest end without being a full frame" hybrid will actually be the bottom of the S range rather than the highest of the MFT range. A camera that would act as a gateway drug into the L mount full frame range that you can adapt your existing MFT lenses to would be more useful to Panasonic than trying to squeeze the last pips out of MFT for a new flagship GH. EDIT > THIS FALLS APART WHEN FACTS ARE INTRODUCED REGARDING FLANGE DISTANCE

I was only fabricating a post to shoehorn a callback to the chips really but you never know, the GH6 might be L mount with an electronic MFT adapter so you could adapt M mounts, or use the new Sigma APS-C L mounts or your existing MFT lenses. Is there an unbreakable GH rule that says it can't be APS-C and L mount ? It could use different portions of the sensor for each option so you could have thrice cropped clips. I'll get my coat.

Sorry to have derailed a camera thread so badly. Back on topic.... When the GH6 does finally come out, people will inevitably be looking for quirky vintage lenses to adapt to it. If you find yourself in Berlin, I've found the Sunday flea market at Mauerpark to be a bit of a treasure trove. While you are there, go to the food part where there is a truck selling what are hands down the best thrice cooked chips you'll find anywhere.

To be fair to the R5, I had somewhat fucked up the code for connecting to it in the first version of the app he was poking it with so it was waiting for that connection for a while !

Should be an interesting few days coming up then.

For our American readers, this is what I mean by pie and chips. The type you're thinking of would be cake and crips. Which is equally popular with me obviously.

I'm thinking about the sort of test that you might consider to satisfy this objective that you described in the post. "If we make a film and someone watches it and can't tell if you used an Alexa or not then it's job well done. The fact they might be able to tell between your camera and an Alexa in a side-by-side test is irrelevant when they're watching your film." I honestly think that the only two options that are required as responses in that context would be : I don't care what it was shot on, I like it. I don't care what it was shot on, I don't like it. You might possibly learn more about the cameras themselves with the greater granularity of answers but you'll learn far more about the reaction to what you are doing with them with only those two options. There's nothing to say you can't do both but I would give serious consideration to doing this simpler subjective test first and then use the more elaborate optioned answer version to make it more objective for whatever it is you want to find out about the cameras.

I got frustrated that I skipped the Alpha and Beta test phase and went straight to extensive amounts of Pi testing. With chips.

EDIT.

No, it is still MIA with the fP update. They had some issues with the S1H originally so I'm guessing that put the whole queue back but now that is out there might be some movement.

If you mean has anyone ever been prosecuted for falsely claiming their goods were made in the USA then the answer is most definitely yes. This whole can of worms - or can of overseas made components in this case - has been opened by using the "proprietary" and "made in the USA" angle as a way to attack Jinnitech for counterfeiting and making low grade products with low spec components that will fail in the field etc. In this case, the kettle has quite rightly pointed out the very dark shade of grey of the pot itself when it comes to the components. The relevance of the "$50 limited warranty" in the last video by the way also speaks to the fact that if the costly "proprietary" and "made in the USA" mags fail, chew your data and write off a day of shooting then you actually have no more recourse (and actually less depending on the country of sale) than you would with 3rd party ones.

Ricoh did a modular system called the GXR over a decade ago where you could swap out lenses with integrated sensors or have a fixed sensor with interchangeable lenses and of course a shoe mounted EVF. The mad bastards.
