    These are not Super 16-Zooms; they only cover 4:3 16mm. (The two formats are often confused. The BMPCC requires s16 coverage. The maker of the above video probably cropped in post.)

    Quoting @Andrew Reid's op-ed posting:
    "But it’s not the space-age camera some were anticipating from the rumours. "
    After the R5 debacle, I'd say: fortunately.... (Which means that I agree with Andrew's conclusions.)

    You can almost safely bet that Fuji's in-camera profiles a.k.a. film simulations are simply LUTs. The proof are Fuji's own LUTs for F-Log to Eterna - which yield the same image as the Eterna profile directly baked into the footage.

    Probably not, because Canon uses  in-house manufactured chips on ancient technology/nanometer standards. That's why their sensor and codec performance always trailed the competition (particularly of big electronics manufacturers like Sony and Panasonic/Matsushita) in the past.
    Now they're apparently overdriving their technology in a desperate attempt of trumping their competition on the spec sheet/feature list.

    No longer than offloading it. You can basically use Slimraw as an offloading tool  to copy and simultaneously compress your footage from the SD card to your computer's hard drive.

    rawshooter got a reaction from Kisaha in Canon 9th July "Reimagine" event for EOS R5 and R6 unveiling   
    Well, the footage is a throwback into old 5D Mark II days, with 90% out of it being out of focus... - And the rest shot at extremely high shutter speeds without ND filter, so anyone who thinks they can judge motion from this clip should just ditch the ND filter on the camera they're currently using...

    Just look at what JIP did with the Vaio laptop brand, and you get an idea of the future of Olympus' cameras and lenses.
    The future cameras and lenses won't even be called Olympus because JIP didn't acquire the right for that name, but only "Pen" and "OM-D" without any other brand name.
    I bet almost any price that they will slap these brands on rather generic Chinese cameras and lenses like the Xiaomi MFT camera and lenses.

    rawshooter got a reaction from PannySVHS in SIGMA FP with ProRes RAW and BRAW !   
    Neither. That's the problem. If you expose according to meters at 3200, you're actually two stops under. You will only see that when you import the CinemaDNG footage into Resolve. And "Profile off" doesn't help with that or change it in any way, unfortunately.
    That's why I wrote that we're talking past each other.
    The only workaround is to set the camera to ISO 800, meter, and then crank ISO up to 3200 while leaving aperture and shutter speed unchanged. But then you have a 2 stops overexposed camera display, no matter whether you're internally or externally monitoring. That's why I said that a custom LUT that pushes down external HDMI monitor display by 2 stops might be a workaround (but not really, since everything that will be clipped in the ISO 3200 preview display will still remain visually clipped.)

    12K is more a marketing meme for the camera.
    Its real point is that it doesn't have a 2x2 Bayer matrix (as in my avatar on the left), but a 3x3 RGB matrix where all three colors are equally present.
    That means you will be able to downsample the 12K sensor signal into a 4K signal with no color interpolation by binning 3x3 pixels into one pixel. That's the equivalent of a 3-chip camera or Foveon sensor. Clean 4K with 4:4:4 color sampling and zero debayering artefacts.
    That's the real point (and news) of this camera. 12K is just marketing fodder for bloggers and influencers.

    rawshooter got a reaction from Marcio Kabke Pinheiro in Canon EOS R5 overheating vs Panasonic S1H and Sigma Fp designs   
    This is not my point. My point is that Canon - as opposed to all other camera manufacturers that are not part of bigger electronics manufacturers (like Panasonic/Matsushita and Sony) literally manufactures its own chips, in its own three Japanese chip factories (they're listed on this Wikipedia page), which use completely dated processes and chip technology that is far behind current microchip technology.
    This is the reason why Canon's electronics and sensor performance has been behind the rest of the industry (which mostly uses Sony sensors), why they noe have bigger heat problems than the rest of the industry - but also why Canon has been more profitable than other camera manufacturers in the past (because it didn't need to buy its chips from other manufacturers).

    The likely reason is that Canon design and manufactures its own chips/electronics, and that its chip technology is old and not on the level of contemporary chip manufacturing of 14nm or less.
    Bigger structures/more nanometers mean: less power efficiency, more heat production. (That's why smartphones, using the latest and smallest chip technology, are so incredibly powerful at low electricity consumption and low heat dissipation.)
    Panasonic, as much bigger electronics manufacturer, has access to more modern chip technology. They likely also manufacture the electronics of the Sigma fp (since they also manufacture the electronics of Leica cameras, and since the fp uses a Panasonic battery).
    This is also the reason why Canon's self-manufactured sensor chip are behind in performance to Sony's.
