Got the first SJ20 actioncam and compared it with GoPro hero 12. I can't believe it so amazing night shoot!

The SJ20 looks great, looking forward to its launch.

LOL LMAO What else? : D
NOBODY here realizes what you meant with such cheap crappy marketing in anything other than as trying to make us uneducated for this purpose. To say the least. Really. Need to not underestimate your audience over these pages, I'd tend to be glad to say not only this community but special this one ; )
The point is simple: sounds pathetic, mark it wherever you like.
Pure nonsense.

You bet! : P
Take a look on the minute 00:43-00:45 LOL ; )

The surprise is here!
 
 
 
 
 

Looks fine to me.

What a book! 😂

Mavo LF has a faster readout, downsampled 4K 16 to 9 with 16ms. It allows 75fps at  6016x2520 according to slashcam. Prores 4444 is a joy to grade from my experience.

It's close, but the Sigma with one of the smallest lenses is 637g! Yes, you get FF, but the GX850 with the 20mm is only 356g and much smaller. Also, the Sigma can't even do flash photography.
I can sell all my M43 gear and have sold most of it. I'm only left with the small (and less expensive) stuff. The fact is that I enjoy shooting my GX850 and I want a more modern replacement.
Concerning Canon, I just don't trust them (R5) and I'd certainly never buy anything RF- too expensive, too closed. It's a company that will only change if there's a scandal by pushing the cripple hammer too far (R5).
I wouldn't not buy the G100D. I had the G100 and shot a ton with it for a year. If the G100D actually has a significantly better EVF, I might buy it. Unfortunately, I think that was a seriously lazy update to a camera that has really sold well.
What camera do you take with you everywhere?

Chris and Jordan said in a PetaPixel podcast that they did not reviewed the X-S20 because...no unit was sent to them, as I suspected.

Looks like Fuji really prioritized Europe - in the last days lots of reviews popped on Youtube from European people, and looks like there was a paid Malta trip to try the camera. Don't know if there was really few units available and Fujifilm in USA and Canada had no units available, but there it is.

Unfortunately, most of the reviews are 80% talking about the features and very few movie tests. In fact, the most useful review was from a Australian fashion photographer, Julia Trotti, which plugged a HDMI recorder on camera and went to a photo shoot, and made some test videos. She had zero intention to be technical, but was the only one that showed the new AF system in action.
 

I've brought my X-S10 to a playground and made still and video from my daughter, using the Sigma 18-50 and boy, did not remembered that the AF was SO bad. Specially shots when eye / face detection af target is green, but looking in the computer after the shot was out of focus. And was with only her in the frame - if my wife was in the frame too, the af target goes nuts and jumps constantly between them (albeit looks like that it is not a Fuji exclusive behaviour - saw reports that it happens with other brands too).

Video was a tad better, but using single area af and movinf the box with the joystick. If Fuji had object tracking in vídeo, probably would be "perfect" (not pin sharp, but it is not critical as it is in stills).

Comparing to the footage of the camera interface in the Julia's videos with my experience in the weekend, looks like (comapred to the X-S10):

- The eye / face detection works better and with the subject farther, in stills. 
- Better in movies too, but saw some points losing the af.
- But it looks like that Fuji AF still is behind the competition - worse for sure than Sony and Canon, probably than Nikon, and a little behind from Panasonic in the S5II.

I will probably upgrade, because of the battery (the playground shot was around 70 stills and 5 minutes of 4k video, and the battery already dropped more than half the charge), 10-bit video (never used any log mode beacuse of the 8-bit in the X-S10) and the better-ish AF - and since Kaizen is dead, any more improvements on Fujifilm will the in the cameras with the newer processor. But I think will no be a very big improvement.

Adapted to Nikon Z8/9, hmmmm…

Yeah, you've heard well but looks like people have no shown a single bit of love (yup, at least throughout this forum here) about their effort to satisfy all of our needs with light, sharp (even 8K, folks! : D) and really effective unique launch with consistent colour rendering, focus, let alone an inexpensive price range ; )

You can find a few interesting tests and alike on YT as usual ; ) but it's here among us where the sharing of your thoughts are particularly welcome :- )

 

Unfortunately.
It's not so different when I hear people saying they don't watch old movies because of their grainy aspect.
Or why people shoot B&W when the world is not made of colour blindness.
Or yet they can barely handle actors when not Hollywood stars.
And on and on.
To put the bar high is not so easy, to make it lower beats it ;- )

It is not easy for me to like a forum post when the nice parts are mixed with some akward personal call outs. Some of the assumptions about one and another sound like there is a desire for misunderstanding  eachother. Makes me leave the thread and topic behind. Certain advises and especially some so called advises are better off by being sent as private personal message. Some hassles can be light enterainment, but the border of becoming unbearable is close enough.
 
 

People should not attack whoever is. It's pointless.

Is 4K 120 fps ready?

Not yet (looked), promised in June.

Z8 does make R5 look dated, Canon and Sony better have stacked sensor for their next cam at this price range with 45mp+ sensor.
 

Interesting full article from those usual guys... with endless customary technical stuff about the new coming kid on the block:

Looks like according to the info from the link above-posted, you cannot if the 2nd one is restricted only to provide power.

More overheating tests (this time versus Z9).
