Im loving the new touch to track objects AF mode in the latest update. its about time.

Now that these cameras have been out for a while now and have had firmware updates, what do you guys think of this comparison?

I am just wondering what would happen if I was to experience a power outage while using the AC adapter or experience a battery failure.

Does anyone knows what happens to footage that is being recorded to a Atomos Ninja V and the device experiences a loss of power?

Will the footage that was being recorded be lost?

Does the device record some type of safety track?

I think the upgraded battery life and screen alone are worth it since you will be using the camera for video. 

The XT3 is a mirrorless beast.
There’s nothing that you did with the A6500 that you couldn’t do with the XT3, if not better imho. 
update the firmware and connect the cam to the ronin and you’ll be able to control the camera while powering/charging the battery.

AF isn't really important, it's just people now write off anything that doesn't have good AF because of YouTube and YouTubers thinking everything, including cine cameras, should be marketed and catered to them. So it's become "important" in a marketing sense, but a cine camera really doesn't need AF and most people probably shouldn't rely on it when using a cine camera. 

what applies to one person doesn’t apply to everyone. 
for interviews in which the subjects move around, good AF is invaluable, especially if the production decides to shoot with a more shallow aperture than f8. 
 

the way people have responded to cinema cameras adding AF, reminds me of when people thought seatbelts and abs weren’t important. 

Has Canon released a useable wireless system to control the C70?

Wifi, App, etc. 

I am wondering for remote-cam and jib usage.

I understand they don’t want to undercut their premium line cameras but this is a complete Canon move 

it has the same sensor and processor as the XT3 and XT4 and they can’t give us 4k60....and they won’t give an update for us to have 1080p240 in the xt3 

sigh 

 

from a business standpoint, that wouldn’t make much sense unless they  significantly increase the price of the camera.

OS R6 Firmware Version 1.1.1

Information posted: September 9, 2020

Firmware changes

This firmware change (Version 1.1.1) incorporates the following improvements and fixes.

It is now possible to set [Temperature rise mitigation: On] when setting to display an image by HDMI output while displaying the image on the camera screen.

When the RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM is attached, the image stabilization effect of 6.0 steps *1 is realized by cooperating with the optical image stabilization mechanism of the lens .

When RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM is attached, the IS performance at the time of continuous shooting may be deteriorated with EOS R6 equipped with firmware Version 1.1.0 *2 . This phenomenon has been corrected.

Improved the control of image stabilization in the lens when shooting movies using some RF lenses.

When the display language "English" is set: The information display on the "Slow Synchro" setting screen has been corrected.

Improved the connectivity during FTP transfer.

In video recording, we have improved temperature detection and control of recordable time. In addition, by doing so, we are aiming to improve the recordable time when shooting is repeated for a short time under normal temperature environment and the power is turned off.

Corrected the phenomenon that the movie recording time is not displayed correctly if "Date/Time/Area" is not set.

 

Why have all of the Komodo listings been removed from sites like BH?

So, in the age where mirrorless is king, Canon's best option for video (not counting their cinema cameras) is a DSLR aimed primarily at sports shooters. You couldn't make this s**t up if you tried.

This! 

and this is from a Mark II owner.

If this camera has PDAF it has a chance in the consumer market. If not then it will be a hard sell I think.

Has anyone used the EOSHD Pro LOG for Sony Cameras to match the FS5 to Canon color science?

I have been searching on here and on the forums and I cannot find any info on the FS5.

I am helping/consulting a church that has an array of cameras in which they are having trouble matching the footage from the FS5 to the rest of their Canon cameras. They have a couple of Canon XA50's and 5D4.

Has anyone had any luck matching the FS5 to Canon cameras? 

Does S-LOG 2 or 3 work better with this LUT? Should I use the faithful setting for the LUT?

Hi,

I would like to know if anyone can help me to figure out the best course of action.

I hired an editor who uses Final Cut Pro X and I would like to finalize the projects color and audio in Premiere Pro, with color being the most important.

I bought Project X₂7, but I was unable to get the project timeline to match what the editor has in FCP. 90% of the timeline looked correct though.

Also, while using that plugin, I am unable to sync assets like the motion graphics and text that were used by the editor.

What is my best option when using premiere pro to work on these issues?

Would Resolve work better?

The potential overheating issue is much more of a deal breaker to me. You got a link to that video?

I was set to purchase a X100V as travel hybrid but the camera overheated after 5 minutes (!!!) during a basic 4K test at the camera shop.

Even during still shooting I could feel the back of the camera get hot (now a known issue on the X100V).

I'm sort of fearing Fuji is cramming too high specs for their compact bodies, a problem Sony got into around A7R2.

Luckily we’re dealing with APSC and not FF. 

What do you typically charge for mood boarding, scope of the project, etc. with clients in person or over the phone?

Is there an industry standard range for this?

Same as X-T3 +240fps @3minutes.

I wonder if Regular 1080p not longer has a limit?

Its a bit confusing ... now that the camera is on its way back to the store I have the PDF manual to consult.

P158 suggest that FLog and HLG are available when using a HDMI connected external recorder but can be mirrored

on the internal cards. It is available at ISO 1250 to ISO 12800. Having been recently burned with HLG on the small Sony

I did not try it.

Speaking of Sony :>( I just fried the A6600 that I was using as a temporary bridge until I find the final camera solution for

my needs (wants really ...). Connected a battery insert to a DTap Gold mount battery and Voila ... doorstop she be.

So I now am discovering what I can do with an A9 .... no SLOG ... but the majority of my pro bono work is in very

controlled conditions. Hope that is my saving grace.

I think you should’ve put that camera through every test while you had it.

Agree, but sometimes peak current draw is too much for one battery, I believe... Especially if you have powerful spec like 8K going on

Makes sense 

I’d much rather have an add-on battery grip, this way I can choose which setup I want to use.

Having worked with MFT for years, I can honestly say there is no need to have complicated setups and workarounds for MFTs.  What on earth were you asking of MFTs to make such a statement?

I have 12mm 1.4 primes for wide angle and pleasing shallow depth of field.  Speed boosters aren't that complicated and whilst yes, it's not fullframe, MFT has it's own advantages too.  Smaller camera bodies and lenses.  More adaptable to a wider range of lenses.  Less rolling shutter. 

Smaller sensors than fullframe certainly have their uses.  A lot of cinema cameras use S35 not fullframe, like the C200 and C300.  They seem to get by quite easily.  Personally I prefer S35 over MFT.  I find it a good compromise between MFT and fullframe, each sensor having their own disadvantages.

However I've never struggled with MFTs and with a variety of lenses, seem to be able to cope very well with a variety of locations and tight spots and still get a good angle and bokeh.

Simply what works for me might not work for another person. I am a documentary filmmaker and I cannot afford to miss a shot tinkering around with a camera to get the look I want. I would use the GH5 for interviews and other stationary shots without issue, but when on a gimbal, run-n-gun setting or a moving subject, I ran into a lot of issues especially when working with the Metabone.

Just as you mentioned, I much prefer S35 to MFT.

Another thing, as a hybrid shooter, there is no debate in the fact that Panasonics Contrast AF is not usable for video and barely for photos. I have shoot thousands of hours with the GH5 and I have put it through its paces and it was a great system at the time when it came out, but Pana dropped the ball with the AF. Technology is evolving rapidly.  WHen traveling I would have to bring a GH5 and 5D for photo and video, now its either the 1DX II or X-T3.  

Also, the lenses might be smaller on the GH5, but the price isnt much different than comparable lenses for FF or S35. 

I have found the X-T3/S35 to be the perfect medium when it comes to size, IQ, DOF, Low Light, etc. Also the hype around Fujis color science is the real deal. I greatly do miss being able to record to 2 cards and the GH5 menu system. 

Edit: I use the Canon C-Line for jobs with the right budget.

1) Why do you want bokeh in Environmental portraits? Also, I don't think 18mm is enough for Wide Angle, try the 12 to 35....

2) I agree here, but you have to get creative too.... e.g. film from outside the washroom, I don't know about you but I don't know the difference between a tiny washroom in NY/Chicago vs. a giant mansion shower in California... if you're smart enough, do close-ups and only above the chest.... you can film a shower scene from a YMCA (with a shower head and tiles).... or a shaving scene from a mall public washroom (with plenty of room).

3) Same as 2)

4&5) But the effort shows in the pictures themselves, same 7D pictures example.

I didn't say I wanted crop/mft.... just saying that people are disillusioned by the whole FF look.... don't get me wrong, I would still opt for a FF over mft if the choice were available where both were similarly priced. I mean all people would at this point....

 

I owned a GH5, XT3 and a 1DX II and let me tell you there is a world of difference. I sold my Panasonic kit Not too long after getting the XT3. 
canon - 10+ years, GH4/5 - 5 years and the Fuji for 1.5 years. 
 

sure there are many workarounds and complicated setups the can make MFT work, but at the end of the day in cannot do what a larger sensor can do. I don’t think every shot needs to be wide open and crushed backgrounds, but when it calls for it it’s available. To me, it is like someone saying  “ I don’t need a car with a trunk because I can strap everything on the roof.”

I didn't say it was a major issue I just said it wasn't great, and will add that's compared to pretty much every Panasonic camera ever. If you're stopping/starting a lot throughout a multi-hour shoot at moderate temperatures (as most people do) the X-T3 doesn't have a problem at all. But if you have more extreme needs, it's not perfectly reliable like a GH5 or S1/S1H.

I've had my X-T3 overheat when shooting continuously @24p for about two hours (only stopping/starting when the limit ran out and to change batteries). It consistently needed a cool down after that much time. I also had occasional issues shooting half-hour long takes on a project in Bali (and fortunately kept a GH5 on hand to fall back on when it did). Again, these are fairly extreme cases, but I mention it as a negative because coming from the GH5 I was disappointed to even have to think about overheating at all. 

I've yet to subject my S1H to the same extremes @6K, and sure the sensor size difference between APS-C and Full Frame will help. But my point is that if the X-T3 couldn't handle those extremes @4K 24p, then an X-T4 with reliable performance @6K 60p feels like a stretch without some hidden caveats. 

I'm not saying Fuji can't do it. I'm just keeping that 8K pinch of salt on hand! 

Hmm. I wonder is that’s a quality check issue with some cameras. 

i live in Miami and usually have to shoot outdoors. I also have a wedding company in which we use multiple XT3’s without issue. Hopefully the next model fixes any issues. 

7 hours ago, JR Lipartito said:

Regarding 6K 60p, I haven’t seen anyone talking about the elephant in the room—HEAT. The S1H’s fan is what enables it to shoot 6K 24p/5.9K 30p continuously. The XT3 wasn’t great at heat dissipation even with a smaller sensor at 4K, so unless Fuji has not only improved heat management  but also surpassed Panasonic in just 1.5 years, then I don’t see 6K 60p working very well on this camera.

I would expect this mode to have severe limitations, if it exists at all. For example, very short recording time limit, no IBIS/Autofocus, etc...

I think sensor size plays a big role in that area. S35/APSC seems like a great medium 

Haha
