Here we go again.

Sony A7S III – 10bit image quality, vs same camera in 8bit with surprising results

May 18, 2021May 18, 2021 by Andrew Reid (EOSHD)

In 99% of cases there seems to be little benefit to using 10bit other than more difficult to edit, larger file sizes.

Nikon are said to be working on a professional Z series full frame camera, based around a similar stacked CMOS sensor to the Sony A1.

Canon EOS R6 shoots 10bit 4K/60 (but NO RAW) – How it compares to the EOS R5

July 9, 2020July 9, 2020 by Andrew Reid (EOSHD)

With the price of the EOS R5 set at £4199 here in the UK, that is firmly pro-territory, but Canon has an enthusiast version too which will be the focus of many at EOSHD. The Canon EOS R6 is a competitor to the Sony A7 III, Panasonic S1 and Nikon Z6. It brings 10bit to the table over the 8bit only Sony & Nikon – and Dual Pixel Autofocus to the plate which is an advantage over the Panasonic cameras.

Canon users will also like the fact that the EOS R6 at $2500 / £2500 puts a lot right for video users compared to the disappointing first EOS R.

Canon 1D X Mark III Review // Filmmaking, video and cinema camera. Get the Fuji X-T4 instead?

June 7, 2020June 6, 2020 by Andrew Reid (EOSHD)

I am having problems with the jog wheel on my 1D X Mark III popping every full 360 degree rotation, so there is a mechanical problem there and my body will be returned for a refund and so this is only a short review.

This review also marks a milestone for EOSHD! After 10 years of blog posts, I am going to be doing YouTube now as well! Looking forward to doing MANY a video and growing the channel in a big way. If you’d like to be interviewed, or featured on the channel, do let me know.

So the 1D X Mark III then…

Canon awaken and release details of EOS R5 video specs – 8K RAW INTERNAL & 4K/120p 10bit

April 20, 2020 by Andrew Reid (EOSHD)

Ever since Canon began disappointing us in 2011, we’ve been waiting for that historic moment where they turn the corner. Long-time readers of EOSHD will remember with fondness the first time we shot RAW video on our Canon 5D Mark III DSLRs thanks to Magic Lantern and now finally there is an official solution. And what a solution it is.

Inspecting the Fuji GFX 100, and having a cup of tea

February 24, 2020 by Andrew Reid (EOSHD)

I often look at the 4 or 5 cameras in my bag and think “this cost me far too much and they’re all the same”. Then I have a cup of tea and try to forget about it.

Yes it’s true, the full frame market is overcrowded and image quality differences between them are getting smaller. What about selling 3 or 4 of those cameras, I thought to myself… And consolidating them into one giant mad one.

Canon EOS R5 8K video – It’s official – Monster camera puts Canon back in the match

February 13, 2020February 13, 2020 by Andrew Reid (EOSHD)

A complete change in policy at Canon has transpired. The company has decided to compete in the mirrorless cinema market. With Cinema EOS established as a separate business, it seems the stills camera are off the leash. What a fantastic day it is for camera nerds and filmmakers alike who can rejoice in the specs and the creative possibilities of Canon’s new EOS R5 with 8K video and cutting edge new sensor technology.
