That sounds similar yes, which is a bit concerning as it's unlikely to get a fix! ?

 

They might have been recoverable in that case because the dynamic range was so low in that shot. Unfortunately with mine, they're completely gone. Nothing to recover!

 

Here's a picture, with some levels adjustments to show it up more clearly. Left is the internal camera recording, right is the ninja. So much lost shadow detail!

That's not good, please send these detailed info and pictures to Atomos so they could investigate.

@DBounce Could you test this when your Ninja V arrive?

Sounds like a similar issue to this: https://medium.com/storm-shelter/does-the-a7s-hdmi-port-break-s-log2-35d9396a7876

Have you tried grading the Ninja V clips? Maybe the shadow/highlight details are recoverable.

Just got confirmation from Kipon that they will make Speedboosters for both Z and R

How's that possible? With Z and R being FF mount and 16mm/20mm flange, normal mount adapters don't seem realistic, let alone speedbooster with optics in between...

Can somebody pls check if AF speed under movie settings makes a difference? I'm using the 16mm 1.4 at the moment, and focus changes pretty fast, no matter what AF speed setting I use. It doesn't seem to make any difference if it's -5 or 5, am I missing something?

I believe the movie AF-C settings only take effect during recording, not in liveview standby.

Does FLOG and the DR400 mode work in 1080p?

Yes F-log and DR400 work in all resolutions, framerates and codecs.

NDA lift:

A7S III confirmed NO IBIS

No fully articulating screen, similar screen design as A7 III/A7R III

A "professional add-on unit" will be available (could be a dedicated external recorder), making A7S III a capable B-cam to VENICE.

Z7 Real world IBIS test out, leaps bounds ahead of Sony, might be on par with GH5:

This is true for Sony FE cameras. 

But the likes of Nikon Z mount should have the potential for a FF camera with IBIS just as good as Panasonic/Olympus.

 

As we expected, due to the significantly increased diameter of Z mount, the IBIS performance of Z7 looks on par with GH5:

This is the same Chinese site, which was the first to leak the A7SIII with a 15.4 BSI sensor. Which is all well and good, except it was in 2016...

There was an A7000 leak confirmed to be fake as well.

We are talking about a specific individual on Weibo. She's the one who debunked the fake rumours including the 15.4MP sensor and A7000.

https://www.weibo.com/KazuoHiraiSONY

She's also the first one to (implicitly) point out that X-T3 uses a Sony sensor.

All of these are likely to be fake.

What we will see is either an A7RIII or an A9 body with a smaller megapixel BSI sensor (less rolling shutter) either the same or a newer EVF, a slight upgrade to the colour and built-in picture profiles (like FS5II) and at this point unknown framerates and codecs, a full-sized HDMI-connector with 10-bit 4:2:2 output is also possible and they may remove the record time limit (they are able to do that from next year with the new EU rules) if it does not overheat.

I would be very surprised if they've changed the body in any significant way and increase design and production costs. Yes, people would be happier with a flip-screen, but from their point of view they really don't need to do that, other features will sell it easily anyway.

And this time, the price will likely to be a fair bit more than the A7RIII as well.

All of these are likely to be true, as it came from a Japanese semiconductor engineer who's involved in the development.

We'll see soon.

When shooting 4K 50/60P, X-T3 has a crop factor (relative to FF) of 1.77, when shooting 1080 100/120p, it becomes 1.92.

GH5S sensor has a crop factor of 1.9.

I haven't tried the highlight tone priority, I remember reading something about it and I thought the consensus was to leave it off? I thought there was a compromise of some sort when using it. I can't remember haha.  

There's no compromise. It's the same as Fuji's DR200, basically one stop shadow push  for better highlight latitude.

Have you tried neutral 0 -4 -2 0, with highlight tone priority ON?

I heard an X-T3 owner who received the first batch of Ninja V shipment say that X-T3 can output 1080p 120fps via HDMI, when the high speed option is switched on in the menu. Can anyone confirm?

Latest A7S III news from Weibo:

Production sample does not have IBIS.

Quad base ISO.

4K 120P confirmed.

My iPhone is pretty good, which may go to confirm that the larger the sensor, the tougher it is to make it respond quickly to camera movement. When the dust has settled it will be interesting to see who has done the best job with FF. Nikon is getting some plaudits, though they have left stabilisation out of the lenses; justified confidence?

iPhone uses OIS and digital stablisation. There's no IBIS for mobile phone sensors yet.

The reason why FF sensor IBIS doesn't work well compared to M43 is the mount diameter to sensor size ratio, if you look at FF mount, there isn't much space for the sensor to move around before vignetting. With M43 mount you get plenty of space and image circle for the sensor to move around.

My take:

A - GH5S, because of the yellow skin tone.

B - 1DX II, because of the harsh highlight clipping.

C - C200, because of the smooth tonal gradation and wide DR.

D - X-T3, because the low contrast and slight colour tint scream ETERNA!!

Another huge plus on this camera. Probably the best 120fps out there outside of an FS700, that isn't including cinema cameras like RED.

It looks on par with A7III 120p, minimal aliasing. Just wish it's available in 17:9 DCI mode as well.

All these complaints are dealing with aging computers.

Not all of us have the latest PC/Mac hardware. However Adobe/BMD should release some updates soon to address HEVC performance issue.

All those complaints about how difficult it is to edit HEVC footage further highlight the fact that HEVC isn't really intended as an acquisition codec.

BT.2020 for now is only used as a container colour space, only a handful of RGB laser projectors can fully cover the gamut. Current UHD Bluray discs are encoded in P3 D65 colour space using BT.2020 primaries.

If I get it right, the X-T3 has a 1.25 crop in 4k60 + 1.53 frome the Aps-c crop factor, which give a 1.78 crop. Same as the Canon EosR, and not so different than the GH5.

Crop in 4K60 is 1.18x, the 1.25x crop is the sports finder mode for 30fps stills shooting. Also just FYI, the 120p mode is 1.28x crop.

Is the video crop factor different from an X-T2 to the X-T3?

I ask because I got a graphite X-T2 and the battery booster not long ago on the $500 off deal +15% eBay + eBay Bucks deal.

I like it, I am testing anamorphic taking lens on my anamorphic rig to see how wide I can go.

I find in video mode I can use the Minolta Rokkor 40mm and my B&H Kowa 2x using the Metabones Minolta Speedbooster.

MUCH wider than my GH5 EOS Metabones 0.64XL Speedbooster and EOS mount Minolta PG Rokkor 58/1.2 plus B&H Kowa 2x setup.

 

 

 

Quite different. X-T2 has no crop in all 1080p mode including 120p. 1.18x crop in all 4K framerates.

X-T3 has no crop in 1080p up to 60fps, then 1.28x crop in 100/120p. (very likely to be supersampled from the crop area, the images are aliasing free). No crop in 4K up to 30fps, then 1.18x in 50/60p.

The main reason pro cinema cameras don't need stabilised lenses is not the weight but that with a global shutter camera movement is a lot less irritating / noticable. 

F55 is the only global shutter cinema camera.
