Super Members BTM_Pix 5,721 Posted July 2, 2020 Super Members Share Posted July 2, 2020 For a two line post about the possible, albeit impressive, spec of the EVF of an as yet unannounced camera, the sheer quantity and absolute earnestness of the comments that have been generated underneath it is mind blowing. People are fucking insane. billdoubleu and Video Hummus 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hijodeibn 154 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 $6000 for that zombie skin tone color?, no thanks, I hope we will see a huge improvement in that area so I can consider to add this camera to the list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So yeah, much lesser but still almost double of what's presently in the best ILC EVFs available right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Video Hummus 1,130 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I think I’m just going to unplug from YouTube and gear related sites during the release of this thing. Not that I’m boycotting anything, but the hype and repeated hype over and over is a bit crazy. sanveer and heart0less 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think Sony EVFs are using RGB now. The 5.76 million dot EVF on the S1 (which I love) works this way so this new one is maybe 2160x1440. Either way it's pretty impressive! The current 5.76 one has a refresh up to 240fps but the only (I think!?!?!) cameras that use it (S1 and A7rIV) go up to 120. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am wondering whether larger LCD would have been a better idea. Or using that money for mini XLR and better heat management, and cost cutting perhaps. Since the new sensor and redesigned body for the 10-bit video is going to already push the costs substantially. Plus the new sensor, and 9ther features. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snowfun 454 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 It will be unfortunate if the best image the camera produces is the image on the EVF! If Andrew is correct about the 6k cost then the Komodo will creep into the frame for a lot of potential purchasers. It’s going to be quite a month - R5, Sony ?, more Komodo footage... none of which will actually improve anyone’s creativity and imagination... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I love having a good EVF although that's probably partly down to becoming long-sighted as I get older and it being a pain to use an LCD! sanveer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kye 2,993 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I'm not sure about the Sony, but on the GH5 the focus peaking is only calculated on the screen/EVF resolution, not on the full-resolution image being filmed. I've found this a real limitation and one of the reasons that MF is easier with the EVF than the screen, as it has a higher resolution than the screen. I never thought about it before, but in that sense, extra resolution is useful for MF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

androidlad 72 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 The actual resolution in pixels is 2048 x 1536, versus the current high-end EVF with 1600 x 1200. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zerocool22 492 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Well I think you can expect it will be not as good as an fx9, and the fx9 doesnt seem to hold up to its competitors at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
