Like I said before, you lose your freedom of speech if you abuse it.

And that's an argument happily and often used by dictatorships and oppressing regimes all over the world... Pick your favorite! 

Anyway, to me this looks like a pathetic self-righteous crusade that roots in some kind of personal dispute I'm not familiar with. But whatever, I sense my time on this forum might be over soon since disagreeing with you can be a high risk game. Your house, your rules...

I find your comment amusing. Call it censorship, call it banning information, it´s the same. Germany largest online news put an article out on what might come next- A potus who mobilises his racist followers for civil war. Now, if we all could agree on not promoting this man on this forum, that would be nice. That guy has plenty promotion already.

It's not the same! Censorship by definition is an act committed by official state authorities. Mostly done by totalitarian regimes but not exclusively. This is not a question of agreeing to what DPreview or whoever does and does not. I just can't stand this inflationary crying about "censorship" or "oppression of free speech". It's what all these trolls, haters and right wing radicals do too when they get banned on Twitter, Facebook and comment-sections of News-sites. And it demeans actual oppression of free speech and acts of censorship.

If I had to guess I'd say DPreview closed that threat because they feared it would lead to quickly escalating political discussions, hate and insults. And of course it would, because people just can't behave in the internet. We all know that.

"the suppression or prohibition of any parts of books, films, news, etc. that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security"

Exactly. Words have meanings...These pictures are not prohibited.

You were offended by the DPreview ban of crosslinks to this forum and saw an opportunity to take a shot at them. All other talking is just a ridiculous overestimation of oneself and some nerdy camera-sites 99.999% of people don't give a shit about... 

This is not censorship. DPreview or any other private institution don't have the authority to censor anything.
Calling the closure of a forum thread or banning of a forum contributor censorship shows a lack of understanding for the meaning of that word and disguises the abusive power involved in real actual censorship.   

Only thing that comes to mind is you might not have the latest version of XtoCC (formerly Xto7). I don't use it often, but there are improvements/bug fixes on a monthly basis. Other than that, I'm not aware of any conversion tools that take FCPXMLs and create "regular" XMLs.... 

On the other hand Resolve can take FCPXMLs directly, no conversion needed. So you might have better luck going that route...

I’ve seen impressive footage from the C200 (Matthew Allard on Mzed & Bloom) but difficult to say it’s as good as the Sony.

I wonder what footage you refer to. Can you share a link? 

In my experience, the C200 is not really a lowlight camera. I fairly often shoot Concerts with a rather slow 70-300mm 4.5-5.6 lens and ISO6400 is the absolute maximum I'd go with the C200 in XF-AFC or mp4, and you can already see quite a bit noise at ISO6400. Also since it's only 8bit you risk having banding in underexposed regions of your shot. RAW solves the banding problems but is a lot noisier than the compressed formats and requires noise reduction very fast (especially if you want to lift the shadows just a little bit). For capturing aurora borealis I'd say there are probably better cameras as the C200...

A filmmaker - fuck. Where to begin.

Yes... that's kind of true, but I also find this is one of the aspects of creating motion pictures I like most: We have the privilege to combine all sorts of media and arts to tell a story: framing, movement, audio, music, graphics, even spoken or written text... The palette of ingredients and tools for us filmmakers is kind of infinite.

And RED has been proven to often lie.... 

Fair enough. But still: I have never heard about that rumour. Most interesting question for me: would Canon even do that? Have they ever sold their sensors?

It has been said the Komodo is using a Canon sensor, which is probably using a larger variant of the sensor in the C300. It’s also rumored to have PDAF.

Where have you read this? From what I know, the people at red so far have always developed their own sensors...? And has Canon ever sold sensors to other manufactors? 

And PDAF is a fact for Komodo, has been demonstrated in a video by Jarred Land already...

The person in question detailed it himself on Instagram to be fair.

Thank you for this information. I didn‘t know that. I guess it‘s another story then. 

On a side line: Pretty sure it‘s not a good idea to publish information about health issues of an identfiable person, most defenitely not without consent. This person has a right for privacy too...

So why did Makosports got kicked out? What did he do?

No i knew about the shortcoming of the 1dxmiii my reason getting it was 12bit Raw in 5.5k with Canon glorius autofocus.

Now thinking okay fuck it i cant film in day time its to bright let me whip out Ninja V for exoposure etc and thats when u get that fucking hammer! U cannot use Raw with V for exposing .

So ok let me use 4k60p than...nothing no signal! Works only in 24p and thats with official Atomos Hdmi to mini cable 2.0 

Its just rant i will gert over it😪.

 

 

Fair enough. And yes, rants are healthy!

Now as for Canon 1dxmiii i cannot film in daylight with tiny screen due to sun reflection (Just use the dam Ninja v !!!) But it doesnt recieve raw data signal so exposure isnt accurete and that 100euro atomos cable doesnt work in 4k60p😪 autofocus is loud from canon BUT accurate .H265 is nighmare on my rig so i have to transcode it etc ,this thing piss me off after shelling twice more for 1dxmiii ! 

You bought a 6k $ camera and around 4k $ worth of lenses and found out these things only after your purchase...? I'd love to have the means to invest like that 😬

I have no clue. Some say it has to do with rolling shutter but I've heard some say a camera with much higher RS than another has better motion cadence. I've also heard people say a camera has great motion while another person says it looks bad. So who the hell knows imo

Yep, smells like esoterics...

It often feels that with their choices, the developers are throwing pieces of paper with specs written on them to a box at the centre of a team meeting table.  If it goes into the box, its included, if not, they leave it out.  Maybe with the R5, everyone just had better aim that day.

Ha, that sounds kind of plausible. They got some throwing-practice in the last few years and are now masters of that craft 😂

better motion cadence

I always wonder what people refer to when writing about motion cadence. Is that a real, measurable thing? Sounds more like something esoteric...

The cripple hammer awaits. We just don't know how it will manifest itself.

Ah come on. You actually hope for this camera to be flawed, right? So you have an argument to keep disliking the Brand behind it. To each its own – but that attitude is kind of small-minded from my POV. In the long run we all benefit from such advancements in technology no matter what Brand we favor. It has been like that with Red, with the Panasonic GH-Cameras, with Blackmagic and yes, with the 5DII. And take it from me that you can still dislike a Brand even when acknowledging it does some things right. I have an unjustified negative bias to Sony, never liked shooting with their cams, be it the PMW200, the FS700, the F5, the Z150... But looking at the FX9 I have to say: Damn, that's a great Camera that produces beautiful images. Or Samsung: I have a Samsung Printer I'd like to treat with a baseball bat each and every time I have to use it. And and old BluRay Player of them created a hatred in me for everything Samsung. And yet: their T5s are the best SSDs in the price range they're available. I still don't like Samsung, but I value their T5s and use them every day. 

So keep disliking Canon, that's fine. But acknowledge that the R5 promises to be a great achievement in Camera technology, even if the actual specs were only to be half as good as the specs on paper promise. They'll push boundaries with this one, that is undeniable.

The last known rumors were saying "lower your expectations, the sensor is not a 1DX III sensor at all, etc."

Yes, of coures. This will not be the mirrorless 1DX equivalent. The R6 will be a lower priced camera, logic suggests the mirrorless 6D.

n my opinion:
The R5 has IBIS dual cards CF-E plus SD 8K 4k60p 4k120p 10-bit Canon Log, better low-light than previous-gen Canon cameras
The R6 has IBIS dual cards SD plus SD 4k60p (cropped I think) 1080p120p 8-bit no Log, but also better low-light than previous-gen Canon cameras

You forgot to mention 8k raw in the R5... 

And if the mirrorless 5D gets that big a spec bump, the mirrorless 6D will too. That's my thinking.

We'll see soon enough... 

This is a very impressive film! I'm working on something similar, but prospective. Some timelapses now from normally busy places with the intention to come back in normal times and reshoot that exact timelapses. If you still have the opportunity, do some timelapses too from Rue Saint-Catherine during Corona-Times. I assume the visual differences will be even more impressive than in realtime...

Canon is not stupid to kill their own cameras, this camera will lack both the internal processing power and the sensor dynamic range to shoot C-Log.
Even their C200 is 8-bit or RAW only.

I'd take a bet on you with this! This camera will have C-Log and shoot 10bit. I have no inside knowledge, but the rumors indicate a Camera higher specced than the EOS R which has C-Log and AF in video. The RP is a Full Frame M50, which is not a bad Camera imho.

I am afraid the R6 will be crippled regarding video to keep it "safe" from the 5D-level of cameras, so it won't be a direct competitor to an A7III or A7IV, it will be better in some ways and worse in others.

"Crippled" like the S1 compared to the S1H? The rumors suggest 4k60, ibis, two card slots... If that's without RAW but with C-Log and AF in 10bit for 2000$, I'd buy two of those before a 4000$ R5. Or... just one R6, but stay in business 😂

This looks very cool! I've been eyeing a Deity Connect system for my next project, which still looks like a better value for my uses than this new system. But this is really got some great features.

The Duo RX with two of these and that XLR Transmitter: all one-man-band wireless scenarios I can imagine covered.

You could definitely pair a BP-TRX with a DUO-RX! But could you at the same time pair the first BP-TRX with a second BP-TRX? I'm not so sure about that, as you might need to put it into IEM mode for this feature. And I don't know if the DUO-RX can be flashed with new firmware to be compatible with the IEM modes. 

Ok, thank you. I hope it's possible. And it would be with three BP-TRXs right? One as transmitter, two as receivers...
