    AF and overheating are bummers with this camera. 

    There doesn't seem to be a single mirrorless camera with APS-C sensor, IBIS, internal 10bit, reliable video AF (and no overheating).

    Overheating along with unreliable auto focus, unreliable IBIS, and Log having serious macro blocking issues.

    So I got some flak for posting a YouTube screengrab - but now I can definitely confirm that the R5's video quality is atrocious in normal 4K mode. Gordon Laing/Cameralabs has uploaded straight-of-the-cam videos from the R5 in various quality settings which you can directly download (with a Vimeo account).

    Original review & video links here:

    Alright you win. Pretty standard for Canon. Is the 1.8 cropped 4k on the EOS R better ?

    This camera is useless, there is no way you can work with a tool like that, the only hope now is an external recorded, I know will be a bulky solution but at least you will not lose important moments during the shooting. Really bad canon!

    Until your micro hdmi breaks 😂😂😂😂

    If you look at his footage, you see that the textures are completely missing/smoothed out.  Either there was some face smoothing filter active in the camera, or this is the price you pay for non-oversampled 4K with the camera. (YouTube compression can't be blamed for that.)

    All faces look waxy, hair textures are either jaggy [=binning artefacts] or blurred out. This looks like video from first-generation video DSLRs, only at 4K instead of HD. You can see those shortcomings  particularly well in his video because he doesn't use an ND filter and fast shutter speeds in their outdoor images, so there's no motion blur.

    (1:1 screengrabs from the highest-quality, directly ripped YouTube stream),

     

    I don't know if you understand how bad youtube compression kills things, even at 4k. 

  5. Sounds like the A7S3 could be outstanding. If it can somehow get around overheating it will be the camera to buy for video. Low light should be incredible.

    You can't be serious about the no IBIS... I just had a wrecked gimbal shot because I forgot to turn on the IBIS. 😞 

    What gimbal/lens were you using?

    Sorry I think that’s what I meant. Must just be my copy. Just not feeling this lens at all. 

    Samyang does make a f2.8 and f2 12mm which are both completely different lenses.

    Practically speaking, the simplest/cheapest/fastest/best solution is just buy a camera rig which has a locking pin for the HDMI connector. That's the first thing I bought when I got my BMPCC.

    of course although people report micro hdmi's breaking even with these precautions. I've heard this type of cable plus the locking pins could be a winner.

    This takes the stress off of the micro HDMI port even more than just an adapter where the port is still receiver direct stress. Its still worrisome. 

     

  8. The simple answer is to buy a not shitty camera that has SDI or full hdmi's. However there are just so many good cheap options out there with this one downfall, micro HDMI. So my question is would there be a way to take apart a camera say XT3, Sigma FP or whatever camera it is, and reinforce the micro HDMI port so it doesn't break so easily. 

    I have taken apart cameras before but I am not familiar enough with electronics to know if something like this would be possible without destroying the electronic board.

    Perhaps it doesn't suck as much as you think: https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=82199

    I am not a big fan of Cinema 5d's testings

    The perceived dynamic range is better as there is more NR in prores. You are losing highlight retention with prores. Just add noise reduction in post and you'll get the same thing with better highlights.

    Unfortunately that is not possible unless you specifically design the sensor for it like the 12K

    I meant that lineskipping or pixel binning is fine, I just want the option

    Have you actually used prores raw in Z6? It has far less issues than presented by some youtubers. And I find AF on native lenses very good in video mode. In fact I was shooting on 2 cameras, Canon C200 beside Z6, and AF is actually tracking better on Z6. Believe it or not. No hunting, smooth transition. They really made those S lenses great for video. There's really little not to like about them. Lack of linear focus is the only thing I can think of. Maybe people judge too much by the looks these days? They might lack solid look (although I dig it), hence they are not good?

    Is there still flickering issues or was that just with N-log? 
     

    The Z6 is still on my radar. Its a unique option at its price point to get Full Frame RAW. The Sigma FP is as well but it has micro HDMI out and the internal RAW is uncompressed, not the most practical storage wise. 

    Right now I'd be tempted to go with an S1 plus external recorder, full frame prores up to 4k 60p or do 4k to 1080p and get beautiful edit ready 1080p prores. For around $2400 thats a great deal. 

    Or a Z6 plus external recorder. 12 bit RAW full frame 4k 24fps or 1080p up to 60p. For around $2000 that is a great deal. With an adapter you get Nikon lenses with decent video auto focus. That is a huge plus. 

    I'd rather get a BM Pocket 6k but I simply don't want 6k. It would upset my PC and I don't want to shoot cropped 2k BRAW as a 1.6 crop is already pushing it. Yes you can shoot prores but than you lose dynamic range and that sucks. Blackmagic needs to let us shoot 2k BRAW with no crop, lineskipping or whatever is fine just make it a damn option.

    Everything looked really good until the shot outside at the end...DR is a problem.

    4K 120p may have less dynamic range than other profiles.

    Good morning to all guys. Thank you so much for the passion in which you have helped me, your suggestions have been precious and have helped me a lot. In the end the game was between the Eos RP and the Fuji X-T3 and I decided to buy the Fuji X-T3. The offer I found for Fuji was too tempting (850 euros with one year warranty). Now I will buy a speedbooster and in the meantime I will sell the Olympus 12-60 4/3 to buy another lens later.

    I think you'll be happy with it as long as you don't rely on AF too much. 

  13. Wish they'd go all out with video. 

    Prores RAW in the Z6 is compelling but its had so many issues and you have to send it in for an upgrade. 

    Nikon needs to at least match Fuji's internal video specs and they should throw in RAW like in the Sigma FP with a USB-C out. Priced at around $2000 that would be a compelling option for video. They also need to get their AF in order. It's not the greatest on the Z6 and its a mess on the Z50. Autofocus in while shooting in N-LOG is also a must.

    Exactly. Don't judge a book by its cover, right? He has a much bigger channel called "The healthy life". He's got several books on health and I can assure you he knows what he's talking about, probably much more than most doctors. I believe he made his first fortune in Hollywood, where he directed and shot a film... He's really not a person you can put into a box and just say who he is. At least, that's what I learned about him.

    I don't agree with his Vegan views but yeah he is a cool guy.

    I mean, try calling and getting info on the 12K camera. There's a number, yes. It goes to a receptionist that asks where you want to forward the call to, you mention "12K URSA" and it gets shut down.

    To be fair, I don't have a ton of experience with them so if this is a weird situation or not representative of what it's usually like...then I'm relieved. It put a bad taste in my mouth though, I imagine other RED users that might be considering coming over would feel the same. When you purchase a RED or even want to inquire about one they send you an account rep. I have texted my account rep and gotten updates and tracking numbers. It's just...very personable. Calling Blackmagic felt like the exact opposite. More like "we don't want to talk to you...email us."

    🤷‍♂️

    Well to be fair the 12k ursa isn't out. Maybe they don't want to take a bunch of calls for a product that isn't even making them any money yet.

    why upset?, I am not upset at all, people can get exited for whatever they want, I just said this camera is a waste of time and people get upset with me, and I still keep my affirmation, almost nobody here is going to buy this camera, and yes, most people here do not have the money to buy a $10K camera, just a few, and what will happen is that some guys will have the opportunity in the future to be able to access this camera for a production, like you now having the opportunity to use a FX9, but you didn't tell if you own that camera, is it your camera?

    So renting is useless? Camera rental is very common in the industry. Waste of who's time exactly? Its simply camera news and many are interested and excited about the new tech.

    please, that lot of people you are talking about is only 1%.

    and how do you know this??? I'll be using an FX9 on an upcoming production which is a 10k camera. I am sure there are a lot of other people on this forum that do a lot more video work than me. 10k isn't even very expensive for a production camera.

    Still unsure why you are upset that other people are excited about a camera announcement??
