I totally forgot the Pocket could do this. Yeah this would be a wonderful option to have. 

I highly doubt we will se BRAW in anything but a blackmagic camera. I also don’t think we will see internal RAW in a camera this cheap in any camera besides blackmagic except for maybe FUJIFILM.

FUJIFILM could really move into a great video solution position. They already kinda are. Great color science, built-in film emulation, vastly improving video codecs and capabilities with each release.

Yeah if Fujifilm puts out there own compressed RAW format I will probably die.

Yeah HDR that gets you genuine 14 stops Alexa dynamic range would be an easy sell. Something like BRAW is also a huge sell for just its ease of use.

But here, if I’d been shooting BRAW I might not even have needed to make proxies, and how nice would that have been? And there closes the “circle of compromises “. Best not to think about it too much and just get on with it! 

Yeah BRAW is really appealing in that regard. I convert my XT3 files to prores and leave it at that. Still have to bother with converting them though, which is not the case with BRAW.

Maybe something affordable without a baby duck sensor.

It can only get you so far tho!

I shot this in 2k if that helps at all


I am really not sure what to tell you dude. Might advise just sticking with what you have if there is no big reason to upgrade. Unless you like throwing money into the wind.

The XT3 is a great camera though. The Z6 is better if you need that low light full frame performance.

I know what manual focus is used for. That means you missed the point. I said AF on DSLR and mirrorless was not the reason Pro's don't use those cameras. You guys mention AF and say Pro's don't use that and won't use that camera and that's not the reason they don't use that camera. 

You pros are always putting down the people on the low end for some reason.....hmmm.

I am on the very low end lol as are most people on here, at least from what I've seen. Except maybe webrunner

The URSA mini G2 would definitely be my camera of choice if I had the money.

You sure about that? I've never used them together, but Sony colors in the A7Sii aren't very good. Wasn't until the A7iii that I saw improvement in Sony's color. 

yeah I was thinking of the A73

Professionals that use RED and Arri should see the value of AF and smaller form factor if it gives them the DR and vdi speed they look for. AF is not the reason professionals don't stay up with the latest and greatest gear. AF is feature you don't have to use. If AF was stable and reliable pros would use it also. If your focus puller sucks what are you gonna do after the fact.

Should see and do see are two different things though. Of course you can use a camera in manual mode but nothing out there right now can compete with a RED or Arri image quality wise. Most hybrids don't have proper SDI or anything either which alone would turn me away from using one on a bigger production. 

I just don't think the demand is there which is why companies like RED or Arri aren't pursuing auto focus tech. The only people that really care are people on the low end. 

Both of their standard profiles look similar if they have the same white balance.

The A7riii and A7iii have had their updates since the A9 firmware update. Aurofocus is improved but it doesnt include the same object tracking as the A9. (I think there are processor constraints.) 

Yeah the A6400 has a newer processor that can handle it.

Did you press play on the video? He is one of many I have seen complaining about EOS HD color profiles. I just found it funny tbh; they spend thousands on the camera stuff, then cry about spending $19. 

His objection was that you can learn the settings yourself. But that is true with almost everything in life lol. 

Fuji announced the XT3 will be getting 240fps this summer, which is a huge plus. 

180fps coming from a full frame sensor on the S1 is probably really nice though

I’m working on some teaser trailers, so hopefully I’ll have some clips to show by the end of the summer. 

what about an early exclusive sneak peak for the folks at EOS HD

I love the form factor, electronic ND's are amazing too. 4k 100fps would be great.

to me the problem is not buying hdd but storing them.

if you want to do things the right way you need a backup hdd and a backup of the backup in an other place in case of fire or flooding or anything else. and then it goes expensive

I don't do the double back up part though its probably a good idea. 

hard drives are so cheap now I have no issue buying a lot of them

that guy is my hero

Would love to own one of these.

Can someone please explain to me why all the new VIDEO features these days make their debut in DSLRs... and then tend to migrate toward video style cameras?

Still cameras are/were purpose built for one type of usage, (though I could argue holding one is still not ergonomic as the hand is forced forward at the wrist)  holding and rigging while the modern digital cinema camera layout has evolved mostly from ENG style because everything is where one would expect it and is just so much better to operate and work with without the need to rig a small awkward DSLR body out for this.... for example the ever useful top handle, zoom control handle in natural ergonomic position, ND filters and xlr inputs to mention a few. And a long camera doest require as much stabilization.

 Lens coverage need no longer be an issue and new full frame lenses are released constantly now.

Why don't all the big makers (canon sort of tries to) simply make two body choices with essentially the same guts?

Please someone give me an answer that makes real pro and marketing sense.

I think its because all these new features are more geared towards the prosumer and run and gun market. People in a professional setting tend to see cameras as just tools. I think its geeks like the people on here, me included, that are cumming over every new release. 

For someone like myself who is often doing 3 jobs at once shooting with a 2 person crew, these type of advances are automatically useful for me. 

In a professional setting you are shooting on say a RED or Arri, all kitted out. You have a 1st AC pulling focus. That type of system has been in place for a long time. I think that's why you hear people saying, auto focus is useless if you are a professional. Why fix what isn't broken. 

Of course when people actually use new tech and discover that you can do a three man job with just one guy that starts to change things.

Almost looks a little Too 3D a bit to me. Looks like he is walking on the water lol.

the dock must be just out of the frame haha

I'm looking forward to hearing your input!

IOS is definitely nice on 18-55, really great lens all around. You may be well off getting an after market grip to beef up the Fuji body. I definitely notice where the dynamic range looked a bit limited on the Canon. Really beautiful image though. I am often surprised how much Dynamic range the XT3 captures. The shadows definitely will get messy if you push them a lot. 

I don't think Panasonic will disappoint, unless it ends up being another GH5S type deal. At least with that you had an entirely different sensor and huge low light performance increase.

I'd love to see 12 bit 422 in some type of compressed format H254 would be fine. I don't see why that couldn't at least be available in 2k. 4K 120fps would be huge as well.

I mean if it has 4k 120fps its an instant buy for me.

I was referring to the SH1 doing 10 bit 422 internal. No other camera in its class does 4k 60p 10 bit 422 internal

I've just got an XT3, wonderful camera for its price, have not tested 4k 50p at 400mb for long periods, how long do you think you could record before it overheats? AM curious

I’ve never had it overheat. I think it only does up to 200mbps at 4K 60. It just gets very warm. It has a 30 minute record limit I believe.

I think 10 bit internal may have quite a bit to do with it. And Sony don't seem to care too much about their  8 bit cameras overheating

They aren't doing 10 bit 4k 60p, other than the XT3, but that is S35 and that body also gets pretty hot.
