It's FOV angle should be 26mm equivalent on FF when I looked at a chart. Still, l can't believe they hadn't done at least a 24mm for its intended segmentation

No removable battery is a fatal error. Still no way to turn down sharpening?

Did anyone ever confirm that you cannot get 10 bit 4:2:2 1080p with the recorder? Supposedly only 4k in 10-bit. Or maybe it was no 10 bit + clog in 1080p idk.

Alright phoenix, the lens point has been beat to death now lol

I think this thread is fairly similar

Everything I could find, says that is a boost for photos. It can shoot something like 30 fps in photos & needs boost enabled to AF during it. I wonder if it even helps anything at good ol 24p.

I havent had the camera in "boost" mode. Will that improve the video AF or anything else pertinent to video?

Get a monopod

Anything outside of mid-day sunlight could experience AF dropping/pulsing. I shot to the east & west, so backlit and non. I just really wish Canon didn't have the patents on DPAF lol. How long do they have left on the patent? They have quad pixel af in the works as well

I used the regular mode without face tracking thursday & yesterday, changing the sensitivity and af speed around. It still would drop focus a lot outside; I just switched to MF + peaking. I wish my Canon had peaking, that's the only reason I haven't bought any cine primes for ef.

Those Cinema Zooms they have are amazing; I was talking about the ones most of us would buy lol. I usually don't spend $4k on a lens. I wish they had a bunch of cinema primes though.

Top pic I posted was XT3, bottom Canon. No surprise, the fuji with LOG & 10 bit helps a lot to prevent highlight blow out. Quick thoughts from comparing 1DX ii to XT3 for a few days: I thoroughly tested AF in different settings/modes on XT3. It seemed to work about as good as the 1DX while testing in my house under decent lighting. Outside, under lighting that wasn't extremely bright (morning/afternoon), it would lose focus many times, even with face tracking + eye detect on (tested at f2). It showed that it had a box on the face + the eye in a few scenarios, but when I checked the footage later, it lost focus for a second at least 5 times in a 10 second clip. When using on a gimbal following someone, if face detection is on, it will jump the AF box to a random spot of the screen when it loses their face. I would click back to mid screen, it finds their face again and when they turn to walk etc. it jumps again to a random focus area after losing the face. The Canon will track regardless if it finds the face and didn't lose focus. I would say that the AF is much better than the sony a6500 I had, but I wouldn't rely on it for anything that matters. Indoors, it seems to be fine however. I would use manual focus for most things. The AWB is very unpredictable and highly sensitive. I found it to be very inaccurate; I can use AWB on the 1DX and it rarely messes up (once in about 10 hours of video). Oddly enough, the video and photo files from the camera seem to be more sensitive to WB adjustments than the Canon. I can push WB pretty far and have it look normal on the Canon, I barely touch the slider on the XT3 and it looks very blue or yellow. Not a fan of their lens lineup for video and no Sigma available. I do think that it is a very good camera though. The image is clean and handles very well in post. Build quality seems good; I did have a few weird freezes where it wouldn't recognize aperture. I will still probably use my 1DX more, I don't push grades extremely far and I don't have to worry about anything with the Canon, I know it's going to do its job when I turn it on. XT3 is pretty mind blowing for the size/price; great choice if you own a bunch of Fuji glass.

Harsh Key Light Test: Guess which is 1DX ii & which is XT3. Didn't have time to frame perfectly or color match exactly. Filmed XT3 in 4k 17:9 All-I 400mbps. Canon Cinema 4k. Cinestyle - 709 & FLOG - 709, both ISO 800 Canon looked like it had more resolution, could be from sigma lens @ f/2.8 to match fujis f2

Converted the Flog to LogC + Alexa 709, looks good to me. DR is awesome for this little camera; I thought the sharpness would be overly harsh from what I saw on youtube, but it looks awesome at 0 & Flog. This is a screen from my first test (nearly dark, 640 iso almost no noise), didn't grade it, did what is mentioned above, plus a minor tweak on project wide adjustment layer. Screenshot is only from 8-bit h.264 export, shot in 400mbps all-i, NR off. When shooting Cinema 4K 17:9, there is a tiny clear sliver on the right side. Anyone know whats going on? I can crop in 1% in premiere to get rid of it. Decided to upload a screen from Premiere and adjust a bit. Notice the beautiful clear strip on the right side lol

I just got one today. People said you can turn down the AF speed & its fine; I turned it down to AF Speed -5 (lowest it goes) and it still snaps lightning fast to stuff or is very jumpy, not a good look for video. Does anyone know what else you can do? I have to use MF + Peaking 100% of the time if you can't slow this down. Image out of it looks good with log Update: Apparently, it works fine, just not before you hit Record lol

Why the hell are we comparing cheap go pro's and crappy pocket dji's, to an apsc 10 bit monster that can do 4k 60 supersampled from 6k?

Why does the UHD scaled down to FHD have 12 stops of DR vs 11.2 for UHD on their chart?

It looked exactly the same to me. "Our software measured about 11 stops of usable dynamic range on the Canon 1D X mark II. This is very similar to the rating of the Canon 1D C, and just under the 12 stops of the Sony a7S II" idk Edit: found new chart with XT3 & A7sii. You're right, 1DX ii is probably a stop less DR than XT3.

Just hope a thot doesnt kick out the leg

XT3 comes tomorrow, going to compare to the 1DX ii, would be nice to have a small body with 10 bit 4k. I thought it was odd that cinema5d says the XT3 with FLOG and 1DX with Cinestyle both have 11 stops of DR. Makes me think that the 1DX would have had amazing DR if it had real CLOG... It looks like the roll off is decent in FLOG + Eterna, I know the Canon looks a little softer at 0 sharpening, but that also makes it look a little more cinematic imo. I was thinking of adding a Black Pro Mist 1/8 to the XT3, not sure yet. I didn't find the footage from it (YT) to be as harsh when compared to Sony 4k. I just seriously hope Fuji updates the motors in their f/1.4 primes, i'll use MF until then.

I used some software to convert basic canon 709 to Arri 709, the LUT is "watercoloring" the highlights like what I see in an Alexa. It obviously isn't going to be perfect, but I think i'll use that as a layer in a color grade. I did this with that converted LUT + a color match from an Alexa color chart as a second layer. WB still not adjusted, a bit magenta/blue to begin with. Here is 709 converted to Alexa Log-C + Linny LUT 709 > Log C > Amira709

Canon always has a strong magenta in skintones. I read that Arri desaturates highlights like a watercolor picture in a sense.

I know there is a "Production Camera" LUT by Canon if you have CLOG3? Also one for the Magic Lantern on the old 5D cameras. Is there any emulation LUT for Cinestyle/Neutral etc? I primarily shoot on the 1DX II in 4k & Cinestyle. I was messing around with curves in Premiere on some EOS R 4K IPB footage from NY, trying to quickly get closer to their (Arri Alexa) color science for fun. Don't know much about it, but it looks like no magenta in skin tones and more yellows in highlights? I put a little red in shadows too with no color in deep blacks/whites, no WB adjustments. First img is right out of camera with just Faithful profile with contrast, sharpness, saturation turned down. Didn't adjust basics, just color

I watched a video of them going through the iso range with the a7iii and for a split second, you could see the actual noise, before the built in NR filter hit.
