Video Hummus

This is full frame and DOF hype my friend. With the higher resolution sensors the optics need to be able to resolve all those details. The lenses get quite big when they have AF and OIS.

DPAF for sure. Wired they didn’t mention the F stop. I would assume 2.8 for the cine lens.

The 200Mbps ALL-I @ 1080p codec is quite stellar. It’s only 1/2 the bitrate of the 400 but at 1/4 the resolution of 4K, so the compression ratios are quite good. And this is why comparing codecs is so hard. I’m not sure if this has been posted before: https://pro-av.panasonic.net/en/sales_o/p2/concept/img/technology.pdf But it basically restates what @interceptor121 did above. Even the AVC-Intra is very efficient when dealing with I-frames due to predictive algorithms in I-frames and near optimal adaptive CABAC encoding. I think it’s here where the 400Mbps is misleading and why I think wolfcrows conclusions are wrong.

Exciting. I don’t NEED one but I want one now! I’ll wait off and see what more people say.

Now having PDAF and OM-LOG400 in video I’m thinking about picking one up used. Seems pretty decent.

I don’t use any off brand batteries for warranty and performance issues. I think Bruno would agree he looks like a smart pup.

I acquired a EOS Rebel T3 at a yard sale for $25 with kit lens two months ago. It turns and and the shutter works but I haven’t taken any photos. Lol

Really? I find the skin tones with the S much more accurate on the scopes. GH5 has a green/yellow tint in skin tones that I don’t like. Horses for courses I guess.

How long does the buffer last shooting 60fps raw? And did you use it to create a raw video? ? I’m curious to hear your thoughts on it, especially around video since there isn’t a lot of info on it in the wild. It’s appealing to me for its incredible build quality and weather sealing. I’m really surprised Olympus didn’t try to put a better sensor in it. But I guess they did it for the speed. It has a lot of horsepower under the hood for firmware improvements. I’m hoping Olympus has something up their sleeve to give it some legs.

Not that old; iPhone 8+. You must have a lot of lens choices for your phone ?. I don’t know about you, but I can spot the average cell phone video 90% of the time.

Well to be fair it doesn’t have the “AI” tracking stuff. But the potential is there... I think video performance today is almost as important as photo performance. Our phones are taking better photographs than DSLRs took 5-8 years ago. They are good enough for most people to capture memories. If you are going to make/buy a DLSM you should make it a half ass decent video capture device as well. The one area phones still currently suck at.

The small color tweaks they gave the GH5S allows great colors SOOC. I usually shoot HLG but if you nail white balance and exposure the 10Bit Cine-D looks really good with some small profile adjustments.

All steps in the right direction 3 years after launch. Im really crossing my fingers that the EM1 mark 3 will be more like a GH5 with PDAF. Hell, the EM1X with a 10bit codec and decent bitrate would make a great video camera. I was sad to see they didn’t have a new sensor in it. I think $3000 price tag would have been more justified.

Max doesn’t even come close to Tony and Fro. While I agree perhaps the tests were flawed and not scientific enough for this audience I wouldn’t use that same brush on all of Max’s videos. I find his hardware tests focused around video editing helpful and a timesaver. I would also say the system is horribly broken if Max has to alter facts to get clicks. I also share Andrew’s distaste for YouTubes influencer bullshit that goes on, like claiming impartiality when they receive free gear for “good words” (see Matti Haapojas “Most Underated camera of 2019” video; hint the answer is in the title. We aren’t even half way through 2019 yet) But they are just riding the wave before it comes crashing down and they are out a job when YouTube cancels their channel or people get tired of navigating the bullshit.

I didn’t know about it when I was in the market!

Well unless you have dual pixel autofocus and tap to focus on the C300, most people will be stopping down their lens to give them a deeper depth of field for ease of focusing. In this case MFT has an advantage because you can have f2.8 light gathering but a 5.6 depth of field which is more forgiving. I love the MFT mount and hope BM, Panasonic, and Olympus continue to innovate on it. I also think JVC should do the same thing as they did with the LS300: super35 sensor with MFT mount (or some kind of adaptable mount like MAVO) and offer more features in a smaller form factor. I prioritize weight and carry-ability over sensor size and depth of field. I’m definitely in the minority though. Everybody wants that blurry background because is easier to do them think about composition.

I didn’t give feedback but it sounds like they are asking all the right questions. So glad they are actually polling before they design something. Good on JVC. I think they should try and innovate the small cinema camera market. Clearly there is a segment—see for example the success of the P4K and the form factor of the S1H. Smallish with internal NDs and great color science and image tonality. As much useable DR as possible within budget. I think big production houses have their minds made up with what they are using. It’s the ARRI ecosystem and Canon Cxxx for all the rest. A few REDs sprinkled about.

Spring for best GPU possible first and the as much ram as you can afford within reason. 32GB is very workable

JVC the forever dark horse?

This might be helpful: The tl;dw: Thermal throttling is improved. Dont pay extra for for the 2.4Ghz CPU. Performance is identical. With the new Intel chips cheaper to buy the slower processor that has the same boost speed and just try to keep it cool as possible with a laptop cooler. It will sustain it’s higher boost clock longer. Pay for the Vega 20. I wish apple and AMD had better GPU options with CUDA acceleration. Come on AMD!

Oh lol. I didn’t see a date on it on the mobile version of the site. It’s in a footnote at the bottom. My bad.

I would assume if it made it into mass production it’s for the production of products mostly likely professional cameras. EDIT: looks like misty industrial applications. https://www.image-sensing-solutions.eu/Sony_GSCMOS_Industrial_Camera.html

No it’s the neighborhood dog terrorizer.

It depends. I would generally choose to shoot in 4K and delivery a 1080p for the increase in flexibility in editing with crops, zooms, stabilization and noise reduction in downsampling. The overhead to shoot 4K these days is not high anymore. Unless you are doing YouTube with quick turnaround and don’t have a good computer... YouTube is like the great equalizer. The bitrates are low and people watch 80% on a mobile device. Most TVs do really well upscaling 1080p to 4K. New Samsung 8K tv does it well too. I don’t see any need to shoot higher than 4K unless you have a good reason too.

I think DJI is working hard to create a system where flyers will be able to see in real-time where they can fly and the drone (unless hacked) will not fly in restricted zones. These rules are oppressive and DJI has it in there best interest to try and work with governments to streamline flight approval etc into their app. We are seeing the first steps with mavic enterprise and any new drones having ADSB transponder hardware integrated in them that all plans in the US must have. I think in the US it won’t be so bad. Canada’s recent laws however...basically killed drones for hobby enthusiasts.
