EOSHD on YouTube is back. In this video we discover Jeromy Young mysteriously vanished after a Wallabies Rugby match and that the company has a new CEO from Apple.

Apple M1 crushes Intel – beats $6000 Mac Pro 2019 and 10 core Intel i9 MacBook Pro 16″

November 17, 2020 by Andrew Reid (EOSHD)

The M1 is displaying astonishing competence in early benchmarks. Here is the key info:

Faster than MacBook Pro 16 with i9 CPU in both multicore and single core Geekbench scores
Faster than base-spec Mac Pro 2019 (8 core Intel Xeon W 3.5Ghz) in single core benchmark and almost level in multicore score
This applies equally to MacBook Air with fanless minimum spec M1 configuration as it does the new MacBook Pro 13″ and Mac Mini with M1 CPU

Apple’s silicon even maintains a single-core lead on the MacBook Pro 16″ through Rosetta 2 with non-native apps!

iPhone 12 Pro Max marches into enthusiast and pro photography territory with new Apple ProRAW, LIDAR, Dolby Vision and large sensor

October 13, 2020 by Andrew Reid (EOSHD)

With the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max, Cupertino has shifted up a gear and are marching into enthusiast camera, and even professional territory with the new technology. 5 axis IBIS, 10bit Hybrid LOG Gamma (Dolby Vision HDR) and even a new RAW format for photography dubbed ProRAW (not to be confused with ProRes RAW). There’s also now an improved optical zoom and 47% larger main sensor with 26mm lens – at least 13 stops dynamic range in ProRAW mode, which brings the sensor closer and closer to the important 1″ mark where low light performance and image quality takes a huge step up from small chip sensors.

On EOSHD, the one constant in 10 years has been cameras. I rarely break from the subject. I do like my “in-jokes”, I do like satire, I do like to have a pop at big companies then I feel they are too big for their boots. One thing I cannot stand, is an opportunistic lier.

RED respond to Apple in compressed RAW patent battle

August 17, 2019 by Andrew Reid (EOSHD)

In Apple’s attempt to overturn RED’s claims over visually lossless compressed raw video, the US Patent Office has published documents submitted by RED. These explain their side of the story with particular regard to REDCODE.

If RED can continue to prove that the approach to their codec was novel, RED will win and Apple will have to compensate RED or make a deal in order to sell ProRes RAW in our devices and cameras, such as the Nikon Z6.

It’s 2019 and Apple STILL doesn’t support YouTube 4K playback in Safari, here’s the fix

July 9, 2019 by Andrew Reid (EOSHD)

Try and watch any new 4K video, trailer or camera test on YouTube in Safari – you will see 1080p or 1440p max!

Until Apple and Google stops ripping off their customers with silly codec wars, here is a solution I’ve found to get 4K YouTube videos working again in Safari.
