I find it inconceivable that Canon would make their own sensor with 8K’s worth of pixels and a faster readout than any previous Canon sensor but not follow up with the software support for 8K video....

You’re better informed than I am about rumours and such. However, I see no reason it wouldn’t have 8K video if it had the pixel count to do it (about 40 megapixels with a 3:2 aspect ratio sensor)....

How similar remains to be seen. I suspect not very. This would be Canon’s first stacked CMOS sensor, presumably manufactured on the antique fabs Canon can’t afford to get rid of. What scope does that...

There are Micro Four Thirds lenses that do that. However, they don’t need to in order for 8K to show more detail than 4K. They only need to transfer non-zero contrast at spatial frequencies above 4K...

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the C200. It remains an interesting camera in a load of ways.

But if you now own a C200, an FS7, and a Z6, probably with a slew of lenses, would not a...

Sharpness is a bourgeois concept.

Third-party E-mount lenses are native, though. They’re not reverse-engineered hacks like the third-party lenses for EF-mount and F-mount. They work well and can be expected to work with future...

That’s probably Japanese for, “we will be joining the L-Mount Alliance imminently”.

About the S5 autofocus, ahalpert seems confident, but my experience with DFD autofocus in the GH5S (great camera for the money in many ways) has not been encouraging.

The initial acquisition is...

Which three primes would those be? Seems like there’s a lack of lightweight reasonably priced glass for L-mount.

How about this:

Less expensive than the rigs often discussed here and not quite cutting-edge, but, I posit, highly capable all the same.

Mechanically, it offers good scope for adaptors: it has a particularly short register distance and particularly wide throat. (This also allows great freedom of lens design.)

But that’s only half...

Nikon is practically there, technically, with the Z6 II and Z7 II. The interface for controlling the autofocus is slightly more complex (not by much, really). But the bigger problem is perception....

But the GH5S has the same low rolling shutter as the BGH1 (~11 ms readout time). A lot better than most full-frame sensors except the α7S III (~8.5 ms). Even the new α1 that I...

Good stuff! Held my interest throughout, and I’ve never heard of you, Sharon, or the actors so have no vested interest in being interested, if you catch my drift. Having a story that resonates with...

Maybe Panasonic will enable Raw output on the GH5S around the launch of the GH6? The purpose being to keep recent buyers of the still-expensive GH5S happy, should the GH6 be a compelling update...

With the Z mount system, Nikon targeted and largely achieved absolute optical superiority.

Pretty much all of the new Nikkors are optically best in class. Even the €500–600 f/1.8 primes are...

They strung us along for years! It was ridiculous. I’m still angry!

New versions of OS X (now called macOS; by the way, I just realised Final Cut Pro X is no longer called that. The “ten” has been dropped. It’s just Final Cut Pro again). OS X was once around €130,...

Slow and buggy? Maybe version 1 on PowerPC (it was certainly slow on my PowerBook G4!).

Later versions were rock solid and blazingly fast, which is why I loved launching that app. The UI felt so...

How many FCP users has Apple got?

The installed Mac base is pretty big these days, and more and more people are editing video. Almost everyone still uses a Mac in the Parisian ad agencies I work...

Hollywood isn’t the bigger picture for software but a niche, irrelevant market to a company of Apple’s size. Likewise, making Final Cut Pro more suitable for Hollywood productions wouldn’t make it...

Brit living in Paris. Pretend It’s a City is phenomenal. I believe any thinking person will get a lot out of this, no matter where they’re from.

Video creation by general social-media users has exploded in the last couple of years. It might make sense for Apple to more directly target those users (i.e. with another round of simplification and...

Yes, but it doesn’t support 10-bit files and doesn’t tell me which software will work better for me five years down the line. There is no sure answer to this question, but I’ve been burned in the...
