Kind of surprised nobody talked about this one on here. I consider this a rather significant update on the video side for a few great reasons.
1. No 30 minute record limit
2. No overheating for 4k 24p, 25p and 30p. 4k 60p...
Apple just announced the updated XDR iPad Pro. Some performance improvements from the M2 chip but to me as one who edits HDR its the display thats the most exciting. I have the current XDR iPad Pro along with a 14" XDR MBP and I absolutely love them for grading HDR. Sure not 100% perfect but I...

Their collaboration features are absolutely insane! As a software developer that pushes/pulls code to GitHub with a team its amazing nobody else has really tried this yet. They even have a Dif tool to see timeline edit changes for...
When I look at a chart like this all I really care about is the light blue part which are the higher end cameras. Look at how sad the sales were in 2003. This reflects my own experience when I went to the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Very few people I went to school with had their...
If you watch any of the demo videos you will also notice a complete lack of bokeh. Gaussian blur is not the same as how optics work with focus. Points of light will not turn into giant glowing balls. They will just become blurred dots.
Here is an example of a depth map.

Here is another reason why I don't think FF should just cost more because its bigger. We have all talked about how m43 has a telephoto advantage but look at it this way.
Lets say you need 300mm in FF terms to reach something you are trying to shoot. Almost all 300mm FF options are a f5.6 lens...
It's $1,300 on sale at B&H. If you look the normal price is $1,600. This sale price is conveniently timed to clear inventory since the mk2 is likely going to replace the GH5. Before this sale the GH5 was the normal price. I suspect the mk2 ill see similar sale prices at some point depending on...

As one who used to do a ton of live video switching and live video streaming this is the biggest game changer I have ever seen.
Not only is the hardware itself full of great features but plug the USB into a computer and you get switcher...
It sure would be nice if the site could be responsive. Not only does Google negatively hit search results for websites that are not responsive but it is an absolute nightmare to use Dvxuser on my phone. I realize the site is at the mercy of whatever content management system is being used to...
Shutter speed alters the look of the motion. While it may be easier to use cheap quality keyers to key out your subject if there is no motion blur thats not how we see the world. You will end up with artificial looking material. Good keying software like Keylight in After Effects and the...
Graded this with your GH5 material I downloaded. Spent about 15 seconds in FCPX. 100% manual grade. A bit warm yet but I only spent 15 seconds on it with the FCPX color board. Simple exposure, saturation and color adjustments.
This was graded in FCPX using Logarist with a bit of manual...
You fail to accept the points I'm trying to make based on a decade of tests, studies and examples. You want to believe H264 can be just as good but where is your proof? I gave you plenty of examples of all-I mpeg2 and what we have experienced with the GH4 and you seem to not want to accept...
Here is a quick test I did last night with some GH4 V-log 4k to HD captured via HDMI to a Ninja Blade.
Version using Leeming LUT.
Version using Logarist with some exposure adjustment in between the two luts using the FCPX color board. No other color grading.
Downloaded these raw clips from Youtube. This person seems like they knew what to shoot to really test V-log. I'm impressed so far. Applied the built in Panasonic lut in FCPX.
Of course you can have raw in any small form factor camera. Every camera on the planet processes raw internally in the DSP. The issue is what to dump it to when you are talking 4k and higher resolutions. While the size both cameras take up in a box may not be vastly different what is...
You also need to factor in exactly what super35mm sensor/camera/crop mode are you trying to match to? Every s35mm camera uses a slightly different sized sensor. To make this even more complicated a camera like the ARRI Alexa has many crop shooting modes similar to how the GH4 uses a crop for...
Looking to get a Atomos Ninja Blade. I have a Panasonic GH3 body I no longer use that I could trade for it. I was going to sell the GH3 but figured I would see if a trade worked for anybody first. That we we both get more value for the trade vs selling the older gear.
