The face detection test by Ricci Nikon shows some concerning rolling shutter when he's moving his head rapidly (it's on a 105mm lens so maybe nothing too much to worry about). Very excited apart from that.

The 4GB file splitting will be fixed in a firmware update in November.
According to rumors, yes. I've noticed that you sound awfully sure about a lot of things only circulating on rumor sites or Weibo.

You can't get rid of the waxiness as well as lack of definition and texture of skin, while you can easily fix colors in post.
Inter frame NR: OFF
Sharpening -4
NR: -4
The Sony was running my custom profile using Still gamma and Pro color mode and some other tweaks.
Guess which camera looked better.I guess the Fuji looked better and that your Sony had all kinds of wonky color issues which would take hours for you to fix in post, introducing nasty artifacts. And then they still wouldn't look right

The waxiness reminded me of what the selfie cam of my OnePlus 6 does, but the Fuji applies it to other hues as well. Maybe you don't notice it because you have no camera which doesn't do it?
That's why I think @androidlad may be right here. Might be interesting to see if external recording solves the issue.
And no, the GH5 doesn't really suffer from that, nor does the A7III (the codec is still bad though).
Noise reduction (even inter frame) and sharpening were completely turned off.
ISO at 640 native. DR400 for ASTIA. 400mbit intra frame and 200mbit long gop H265 were used and looked identical.I own the A7rIII which produces a vile image color wise compared to the x-t3 eterna and I sold my GH5 because I hated the skin tones. So I don't know what you're seeing. And you can't turn the noise reduction ”completely off” on neither the x-t3 or the GH5. On the Fuji, you can set it to -4. It'd be interesting to hear from fellow owners and real world users what they think. Maybe @Andrew Reid can chime in?
I just bought the GH5s brand new on a sick deal hear in Sweden though. 1000€ including sd card and extra battery. I believe in the color science of the GH5s. The GH5, not so much.

Tried the X-T3 at photokina.
Not impressed.
Recorded some footage on my SD card in the new 400mbps intraframe codec. Turned noise reduction, sharpening as well as inter frame noise reduction completely off.
In both Astia and F-log faces and even textiles look like a paintbrush was applied. Faces look horrible and lifeless and waxy as well.
Both my GH5 and A7III looked way better and more natural in comparison...
Well, will wait for the BM Pocket 4K then.1 hour ago, androidlad said:As discussed before, HEVC smoothing filters SAO and SIS contributed to that waxiness.
I own the camera and haven't seen any ”waxiness” yet, and trust me, I was concerned about this with the X-T2. Maybe you don't know how to operate the camera properly?

So I plan to do a shootout comparison between the GH5S and the Fujifilm X-T3 this weekend. I can tell you the Fufi is s perfect travel size. Love the retro looks.
if there is anything specific you really want to see post it here and I will do my best to address it.
Would love to see various skintones in various lighting with high ISOs and Eterna
Some rolling shutter tests in 4k 25p wouldn't hurt either.

Dixie Dixon is a She not a he LoL. She is the blond holding the camera all the time in the video. Dixie Dixon is a Nikon Ambassador, one of 16 I believe.
I think you Need Cataract Surgery Jon. ? The video looks damn good to me. Oh, and I have had mine removed.
He's not referring to the Dixie Dixon video, but the one from Italy.

What are you talking about? I never said that – I URGED you to take a look at the footage from Mattias Burling. But you're obviously too delusional to do this. I don't give a fuck about the actual numbers of the dynamic range since different manufacturers measure it in different fashion. I care about the image and the d750, with regards to dynamic range, is obviously not falling short in comparison to BMCC, for example.

Pretty sweet 10-bit 4:2:2 colors demonstrated here. Slow-mo seems pretty sharp / alias free & AF face tracking does good job on the gimbal (ibis?) shot.
My Fuji system might be getting the axe soon..
Lovely colors and skin tones, they just look right, even when the white balance is off, which is where the Sonys always struggle, even the latest ones.

It doesn't have an internal Log, and it is 8bit, an outdated Codec, and only 24mps @ 30p and you think it is going to get over 13 + stops internally?? Really?
Well why the hell would Anybody ever buy this New BM PK4? It is Only 12.5 to13 as BM is stating it stops wise.
Did you even watch @Mattias Burlings video? Are you daft?

I read it here on Nikon official press release on Dpreview, where did you see it on your Nikon website? https://***URL removed***/news/4242909447/nikon-z6-is-a-lower-resolution-less-expensive-z7
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNHQUGgZAKE&t=1023s
Imaging resource states it's 100mbps. And I've seen others as well. I really hope that you and DPreview are right, and that the 29.59 recording limit applies to 4k footage. If that's the case I think I'll might accept the battery life.

it's right there in the specs dude:
Movie Maximum Recording Time
29 minutes 59 seconds
Yes but that could be in 1080p, lex Fuji X-t2.

You should perhaps read it again, I saw 144 mbs not 100 mbs.
You should perhaps quote a reliable source because it sure as shit isn't in the official spec sheet.

Everybody seems very certain that the Z6 will have a good codec bitrate and so on an so forth. But reading the official Nikon spec sheet they clearly stipulate 10-15 minutes of video (battery) and the very uncertain: Up to 29:59 min recording time. I fear that this only holds true for the 1080p recording. And the only bit rate number I've seen or heard is 100mbps internally, worse than the d850.

Buy the A7rIII if you have the budget. Personally I think it's a both a better video camera, without the aggressive noise reduction of the A7iii; and a far better stills camera. And it doesn't overheat, feels more solid.

On the Sony settings that umbrella would probably be orange any way
Haha, very true. I just bought it, so excited to test it out.

Dave: Can you kindly elaborate on why you feel this way? Thanks in advance.
Forgive me for interrupting but I have used both cameras: The a7riii has less rolling shutter, better motion cadence (imho), a better noise reduction algorithm which reduces ghosting outside of the log-gammas and it's easier to pull manual focus due to the better EVF and screen. If you like sharpness in full frame, then the a7iii is better of course, but sharpness is, as we know, a bourgeois concept.

How do you compare the video autofocus between the 7III and the rIII ?
I see no difference other than that the face recognition feels more solid in the rIII, as long as the face don't stray to far to the edges of the frame.

There is something to be said about the A7III that goes beyond specs – I own the A7III and I own the A7rIII and I used to own the GH5 and after som extensive testing I must say the A7III is lacking. It's a fine camera, certainly at the price point. Small but by no means insignificant things make it less useful to me however. For starters the 4K full frame may be very detailed and sharp, but is plagued by a weird shimmer and a subtle stuttering when moving the camera and it seems to me it has more moiré than the A7RIII, barcode artifacts notwithstanding. I also find that the pixel binned 4K full frame readout from the A7rIII is more pleasant to the eyes and I think it has to do with better motion cadence, less rolling shutter and more efficient IBIS (that 0.5 step makes a big difference in real world usage without stabilized lenses). Not saying the A7III is not a good video camera, but I do prefer the image produced by the rIII. It would be interesting to hear if someone agrees/disagrees. I know the camera isn't available yet in the US, but here in Sweden and the rest of Europe it's been in stores for some time now.

anyone know if/how eye AF works in video mode? i keep getting an invalid program mode message when i try using it.
feature is pretty stunning for stills.
Unfortunately eye AF only works for stills, but face-detection has been impeccable so far for me in video mode, both with the A7rIII and the AIII.

The results are in:
"Done. And the results are pretty good: 24.3 ms in 4k FF 25fps, and 8.7ms in 1080p FF 25fps."
Still waiting for s35
It seems very similar to my A7rIII i s35 4k, which is very similar to the GH5, around 16-17ms.
4K 24fps or C4K 24fps?

Just put the camera in maximum cinematic mode.
