JHines Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I saw some rolling shutter and soft resolution on the wide shots in the Radball edit but as you said this is all highly compressed, so the resolution observation may be incorrect. Didn't see any noticeable aliasing or moire, so that's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nahua Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Yeah the web videos aren't much to write about. Too compressed, so many halos and artifacts. We need to see some real uncompressed footage. But if everything else is true, I really look forward to this camera. If anything, keeping 1080 whilst recording, continuous recording (albeit only 30min at a time), and manual audio meters (seen on the dpreview video), then I think this is a great camera. I will always have my GH2s, but this camera still can achieve the full frame look that we all love. Cheers Canon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 IMO the Mario_Nette is the one to watch (Radball looks shit). Whoever shot the Mario_Nette vid knows what they are doing. Challenging situations - more so than Nikons Joyride video. The opening grass shot shows great movement, tons of detail for a web compressed video, and excellent color (though the grass bokeh is nervous because of whatever lens they chose). The rocky roads show no aliasing and the skin seem great imo. Again the color depth - Digic 5? - looks fantastic. And the closing scenes at night have superior color vs what Nikon has been showing. But alas it is just a low res web sample so who really knows. But I like it. It will be a tough battle between the D800 HDMI out at 4:2:2 using a Ninja or Shuttledeck vs the MK3....but my money would be on the MK3. Though if Panasonic is smart - they could offer I-frames, 60p, clean HDMI out and an expansive color space and trump everyone with a GH3. They could even charge $1500 and people would eat it up. Awesome time to be a videographer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertoSF Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Does it have a mirror? Can we mount PL cinema glass to it...? Like LOMOs? Thanks for posting the latest, Andrew... glad you are out there monitoring the front lines of development... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] There are Canon to PL adapters out there but remember that very few PL lenses cover the image circle of a FF sensor (though a Canon 7D 1.6x crop is usually fine). And good ones don't come cheap: [url=http://www.hotrodcameras.com/category/custom-pl-modified-cameras]http://www.hotrodcameras.com/category/custom-pl-modified-cameras[/url] While there are many advantages to a large FF 35mm sized sensor - this is one of the biggest disadvantages. Getting sharp corners on FF isn't easy and even FF lenses often need to be stopped down to F4 - F5.6 to avoid vignetting. Not that it matters much because focus pulling at F1.8 or F2.0 with FF is very difficult for even the most advanced pro's working in the industry. Cheers!

nahua Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 The other videos on the Canon Japan site are much better quality. [url=http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/samples/eos5dmk3/]http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/samples/eos5dmk3/[/url] I like the "Color of Hope", great quality. And if you see the behind the scenes, they shot all those color clouds also with the 5dmkIII. I thought those were all CGI, but being able to key those practical effects shots is impressive. I have a really great feeling about this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandro Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I need real samples not this compressed sh*t because at first look I don't see anything extraordinary. At the end of Mario Nette I see moiré on the rocky ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
