    Snowbro reacted to Andrew Reid in I voted for Raw recording on the R   
    I agree that it's not always helpful to get hung up on specs and that ease of use, reliability, feel, ergonomics are more important.
    Here's my opinion: the EOS R is a dog in this regard. It's not easy to use, it's not reliable and it's not got good ergonomics at all.
    The crop harms usability because all your videos end up looking different to stills, or you have to use a zoom to compensate for the different FOV, or step backwards yards and completely re-frame. So if you're doing a video/stills hybrid shoot, it's a poor choice. The rolling shutter is a problem for anything that isn't a static subject.
    Lack of effective 5 axis IBIS hurts it for hand-held video work and the digital version warps and crops even further, on top of more distortion from rolling shutter it is not very natural or organic.
    Reliability - that top LCD is a serious weak spot. Cracks very easily. The lenses have externally moving elements for focus on the most part - even the expensive 50mm F1.2L R. Dated and noisy, and weather sealing isn't up to professional standards.
    Switching quickly between video and stills mode is a fiddly chore and Dual Pixel AF is no longer the best especially with the 35mm F1.8 R and 50mm F1.2L R and their grinding moving front elements. Needs lenses with internal focus to work at its best and quietest, which it rarely does.
    Yes, the image in C-LOG is nice, colour science is good, as is white balance and the codec. Like you I prefer to have an image with no excess digital sharpening and don't mind soft, cinematic 4K that doesn't fatigue your eye when the picture moves. It doesn't lack for detail unless you're a pixel peeper using a chart and not watching the film or content. So the image isn't so much the problem - the rest is.
    But the E-M1X is a far superior hybrid camera.

    im totally with you. id like a raw option but its whatever.
    and im willing to pony up $4k for it too~! and get into the R system. but thats what its gonna take
    im shooting my next thing with a gh4 and maybe some 5d3 raw shots for dof. its gonna look great. literally nobody cares about the difference in stuff like this except for ppl like us anyway ? so canon has to actually make a camera that makes me happy for me to seriously ~look~ at the r lenses... im sure theyre great but theyre absurdly expensive, and all this adds up to quite an investment

    It will be a while, so buy a temporary camera to use in the meantime.  Make sure its well specc'd and robust so it lasts long enough to fill that gap.

    Yeah Samsung has Always had nice displays on their phones. Main reason I had so many of their Note Smartphones. But the DR edge now that the XS, XS Max has, and it seems Filmic Pro is really into Apple more than Samsung is the main reason I made the change. All these new high end phones are pretty amazing. The Sony Sony Xperia xz3 may be the real sleeper though for CS.

    Bought an RP so I can develop a version of my C-LOG profile for it.
    It's going to straight back to Amazon when I'm done with that.

    It's the Canon lenses keeping the cameras afloat, that's for sure.
    Looking at the Panasonic S1, the lens situation is a mess. No AF-C on the Sigma adapter for Canon. No phase-detect AF on the sensor. No affordable primes from Panasonic at launch and the 50mm F1.4 is far too large.
    Looking at the Canon EOS RP, very small and affordable 35mm F1.8 with IS and macro ability. EF adapter that works properly. Cutting edge expensive stuff like the 50 1.2 and 28-70 2.0 for the pros.
    There's no question the S1 is a better camera for video though, as long as you don't mind waiting for Sigma's L mount lenses or using manual focus.
    Then again you'll be using MF in 4K on the RP any way!

    There is also a Sony a7S II on the ISS, so this automatically means that Sony's cams are the best in the universe. Now we just need to compile a list of cameras that are not used in the ISS so we can avoid these non-worthy brands. See what I did there with your moronic discussion?

    Like I said. If you don't know how to properly expose in those situations without resorting to bracketing or flash then I'm sorry, a new camera isn't going to help you. You need to practice instead of buying stuff.

    Since the environment seems like the biggest determining factor for getting great shots here (shooting a fast-moving subject in a natural environment) I would suggest focusing on cameras and gear that work best for those kinds of shoots, like Snowbro recommended.
    BTM_pix posted this info about the Wiral LITE wire rig that looks like it would be great for mountain biking:
     
    I recently bought a GoPro Hero 7 black and would definitely recommend it for the new hypersmooth stabilization (check out the many YouTube vids / comparisons) if you're doing any POV stuff or ride-along shots.

    I can't say I have the Yellow problem on my phone. Is it perfect, I don't know. Output looks good to me so that is pretty much all I need. It definitely needs to the Saturation turned down, but I can do that when I shoot in Filmic Pro. I don't use Auto Brightness ever.

    Not that I have found. It is an Auto thing and I have no clue why and when it sees fit to do it? But to be able to do it on the fly must take some amazing processing to do it up to 4K 30p. It not only has to do it, it has to decide when to do it. Amazing stuff available out now.
    My XS is night and day better photo and video wise, and even stabilization is better than my X was. And every app runs faster. It is like it is in Warp Drive LoL.
    This was taken with my XS. I think that is some pretty serious DR and detail for a Phone.
