    I don't know, but REDcode uses RED processors, I remember the guy from RED saying how the Nikon one, that is the Xpeed, was super efficient.

    OK, the new Canon looks good, despite the spec not yet fully known and I suspect the Nikon ZR will also be competitive so Lumix, over to you, - how is that S1H coming along because the time to pop it out would be immediately after the other kids do otherwise you risk all the newly found brand hoppers, hopping in their direction?

    That guy has an S1R and that video is about ND filters. he made a mess using different cameras and blurring by mistake his S1R too.

    As I commented above, that is the RF cinema line mount system. Its on C70/C80/C400 so not at all a Super35 exclusive.
    It's there to reinforce the mount for heavy cine glass weight and modularity/repair. 
    What it does indicate to me is that IBIS is highly unlikely. That type of screw down rigidity doesn't have floating sensors in mind. Could be wrong but that's my feeling.

    Ergonomics look good.  CF Express is nice and a welcome surprise, given that the rumors are for 6K resolution and the C80 which is also 6K only has dual SD card slots.
    That was my first thought, but the C80 also has them so there must be more Canon adapters that can be screwed in?  Or maybe this one is high-end APS-C?  I'd be very OK with that.

    PhotoRumors says its a new Lumix. And he's right. They guy was intentionally not good at blurring photos. So it wasn't ZR.
    S7 with S1ii sensor maybe? Ironically SD/microSD configuration makes more sense for this camera.

    The C80 has internal ND and there's almost no way this one does, based on the size.  C80 also has XLR, SDI, and about a bazillion buttons that this one doesn't.
    On paper, the R5C had a number of advantages over the C70, including better AF and 8K shooting.  But it also lacked internal ND, XLR, etc.
    If I were Canon, I'd honestly be a lot more concerned about sales of the R5 II than the C80/C400 if this camera has most of the rumored specs.  Especially if it has a DGO sensor, I'd gladly take that over 8K recording and 10-15 more megapixels for still photos.

    Multi aspect ratio delivery is increasingly common so open gate would be a god send not to mention it opens up anamorphic for higher end cine duties.
    Of course its detachable..

    Davide DB reacted to eatstoomuchjam in Canon USA drops new teaser (FX30 competitor?)   
    The rumor that was highlighted said it was "optional" which would absolutely imply detachable.
    6K vs 4K, internal raw, and rumored DGO sensor would all be better on a spec sheet.
    But it's also true that we're in a time of decreasing returns.  The FX3 is a great camera.  It makes a good image, can work with very little light, has fantastic autofocus, and it's small/portable.  Everything about it is absolutely enough for the vast majority of current productions.  You could just as easily respond that you don't care about 6K, raw, or an extra stop or two of dynamic range and you'd be absolutely correct.
    On the other hand, Canon has lost a lot of their video production market share and they need something that they can point to when current users say they want something like an FX3, and ideally a little better than the FX3 so that their users still feel good buying Canon stuff.

    So now we know there aren't XLR on the body itself, but we also know that Canon are releasing a first-party XLR hotshoe adapter (maybe it'll be backward-compatible with R5C/R5 II, etc).

    Wonderfully shameless rip off of the FX3. Now let's just hope that the C50 is better than the upcoming FX3ii.

    Do you mean their cinema camera that has swappable mounts including DL mount, L mount, and M mount all coming first-party from DJI themselves?  And E mount coming third-party rebranded by DJI?  And EF and PL mount from third parties?  If you go on any Ronin 4D user group, you will quickly see that Sony E mount seems to be the most popular followed by L mount.
    I think you're just flat-out wrong on this, sorry.  DJi have a total of 6 lenses for DL mount, IIRC.  16/2.8 (APS-C), 24/2.8, 35/2.8, 50/2.8, 75/1.8, and 17-28/4 PZ.  These lenses are generally considered mediocre - I have had every one, sold the 16 (since cropping for it is pretty redundant with 24 on FF) and returned the 75 after verifying that it didn't fix the autofocus lag I was getting on a manual mount Leica lens.  The whole point of those DJI lenses (except the zoom) is that they are very light weight and designed to be aerodynamic - I use them when mounting the R4D on a car.  I like the 17-28, but it's really a focal length that basically screams "use me on a gimbal" and would have everybody instantly demanding a 24-70 ASAP.
    There two third parties who have made a small number of lenses for the mount, the most interesting being Viltrox who have a set of f/1.8 lenses.    This would put them in the position of having to play huge catch-up on lenses since everybody else has a many years-long head start and it'll be a major uphill fight to get third parties like Sigma to make lenses for it, given the lack of market penetration.
    So it makes perfect sense that DJI would release a new camera using a mount that they already support and offer on their cinema camera.  That or that their cinema camera would just support the mount system for the R4D and all of the mounts that go with it.

    Yep, seems that it is not a Canon or Nikon, apart from the Viltrox, I don't think Canon or Nikon would showcase their camera with a third party lens, and not a full autofocus Canikon lens.

    I dunno, couple weeks ago it was an APS-C sensor, yesterday it was the 45MP FF R5ii sensor, and today it's a 32MP FF sensor.. which Canon doesn't have AFAIK. Maybe it's the new rumoured sensor from R6iii or maybe its APSC. Also it apparently has open-gate which would be a game changer... stay tuned folks!

    Sony rumors claim from a "rock-solid" source it's the C50, a full frame FX3 killer with R5ii sensor. If true that would basically be the R5C mk2 in an FX type body. Also Nikon is supposed to drop Nikon ZR the following day. What a time to be alive!

    Resolve works great on Linux. The "Studio" edition is required for some codecs. Major graphics cards all have native Linux drivers available for download.
    First time Linux-Resolve set-ups will likely require some self-teaching regarding the Linux OS, but once the rush kicks in, there's no retreating from an opensource operating-system. Basically: if you know your way around a 35mm analog SLR, you're already in the prerequisite-intelligence demographic:
    Other migration tips for anyone who wants to taste the Linux "rich stuff" (The Goonies - 1985):
    Instead of Photoshop -> Use:  Krita / Darktable / RawTherapee /Blender
    Instead of Microsoft Office -> Use:  Libreoffice 
    Instead of InDesign -> Use: Scribus
    Instead of Illustrator -> Use Inkscape
    Instead of Ableton Live / ProTools -> Use Bitwig Studio (not opensource) / Ardour / etc.
    I use all of this Linux software, in a professional context, and haven't touched a non-Linux system for over six years (yep, I don't carry a 'smart'phone). The most effective protest against fascism / late-stage phoney-capitalism is to stop using the products of that system. Protest without action is just noise.
    The greatest trick these legacy-corporations have pulled is convincing the public that there is no alternative to their slop. Even if you start simply by running Linux in parallel with your existing legacy-surveillance-OS, at least you have an exit strategy from the subscription-crackhouse that Adobe and others are running.
    Don't be another node on their networked fear-grid.
    Good luck!

    Volkswagen routinely murdered the children of their slave-laborers. Volkswagen didn't merely collaborate with the Nazis. Volkswagen are the Nazis. VW are still genociding humanity, to this day, via faked-emissions tests (SOURCE: Scientific American).

    You probably didn't waste time reading the various links in the article, but I understand if you hate the person. By the way, the accusations are so serious that if they were false, they could take him to court in an instant, but let's not get into that; it's not my place to defend Cory Doctorow here.
    Indeed, this statement is a bit strong and, said like that, seems absolutely false. But, following the various links to his previous articles, I believe he was referring to his old article:
    Tesla sells both 60kWh and 75kWh versions of its Model S and Model X cars; but these cars have identical batteries — the 60kWh version runs software that simply misreports the capacity of the battery to the charging apparatus and the car’s owner.

    BTW, you were complaining that all of this has nothing to do with my initial post. It absolutely does. In both cases, there's a distortion of the concept of property.
    In the first case, the major music labels do you the favor of letting you listen to "their" music.
    In the case Andrew cited, Bloomberg claims to have the copyright even on a POTUS speech.
    In the magical world of subscription, you don't own a f*** thing and they can revoke everything at any moment. In all cases, you are only enabled to consume.
    Maybe it's too left-wing? And yet the strong concept of private property and possession of a good doesn't come from there.
