Yup! That's me! Canon Rebel XSi and EF-S 55-250mm / EF-S 17-85 Daytona Beach 2010... back in the olden days. I like your photos much more. I was just getting started and then got stranded in the purgatory that is the Mojave desert in Nevada.

5D MK 4 photos compared to MK3

Freddell said:
Comparing this angle the 5DmkIV looks broken and mushy compared to 6D???
Why would anyone want soft washed out JPG:s?

https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison?attr18=daylight&attr13_0=canon_eos5dmkiv&attr13_1=canon_eos5dmkiii&attr13_2=canon_eos6d&attr13_3=canon_eos5dsr&attr15_0=jpeg&attr15_1=jpeg&attr15_2=jpeg&attr15_3=jpeg&attr16_0=100&attr16_1=100&attr16_2=100&attr16_3=100&attr171_3=off&normalization=full&widget=1&x=-0.8673616103522646&y=0.1482832749002481

It's the larger output size; 30 mp generates a greater enlarged image than 20. If you look at the 5Ds that is even "worse". If you reduced the 30 mp file to 20 it would look sharper than the 20, until you sharpen the 20....then you can sharpen the reduced 30. The larger file can resolve more but you lose most of it when you reduce.......so it goes on.

Appreciated Simple Request from 5DIV Owners

The image I see is very very encouraging. Looks identical to the 1DXII and 1DC.

The terms resolution and sharpness are commonly confused. The 4K image I see here is incredibly detailed,

BUT does not have any edge enhancement, sharpening, it is indeed soft.

Try and apply a sharpening filter in your video editor and you'll see that Sony/Panasonic 4K POP that you're after.

If you grade Red 6K files or Arri 2.8k files they are very soft. Canon takes the same approach. Which gives it a widely common misconception of being less that 4K.

Of course when you downscale it, sharpen it, it has 100% 1080p lines of resolution. Just like the C100, which also takes a 4K image and downscales it to 1080p.

I am quite sure your observations are about sharpness settings in the C100. Out of the box the C100 does have quite high sharpness setting (a good sharpening algorithm) and straight of the box the 5D has a high sharpnss setting (bad algorithm). If you shoot both at at zero sharpness (how they should be shot to get highest aliasing performance) you'll get the same C100 crispiness.

The C100 has 12 stops of DR, this is like all Canon Neutral PS, about 10. This is due to c-log. This makes the C100 a better HD camera while the 5D does 4K and slowmotion and of course 30mp stills.


Any more 4K grabs are reaaaally appreciated.

He used the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Art DC HSM Lens! Maybe this is the problem?

We have a winner. It's also designed for crop sensors too.

Not so fast darling ;)

Is this a great picture? Not so sure...
500Mbps MJPEG won't help much, hope Canon can release a 800Mbps codec for better details.

Is Canon at Photokina?

Yes Canon is there with the largest exhibition area. It is not crowded as one might expect. Of course M5 and 5d MkIV are well visited. I was now five days at the photokina and it seamed to me, that all the knew cameras at all manufacturers were t big hit. It was different today on Saturday with more non professional visitors.
I would say going to photokina only because of new allready known bodies and lenses makes no sense.
You will need about one day to look at all the exhibitions. You will need at least another day to be at the main events with all the photographers but be aware that most of them are talking in German.
For me very interesting were the new developments on studio and outdoor flashes. Another part of the exhibition you should not miss is everything about printing. Looking and feeling all the fine art papers and talking about there possibilities is worth a whole day, even if you never printed really good pictures at home.

It is a pity that Canon Europe decided to show no Beamer.

These are a view impressions from myself.

Problems using CF Cards on 5Dmk4: Solved

Re: Problems using CF Cards on 5Dmk4: Solved!!!!!!!

Well thank goodness for that, the Card reader itself has broken.

I dug out an old card reader and that works with both CF cards perfectly.

So even the warning about always formatting the card in the Camera you will use
it in can be ignored, in some cases! I think that is a must when exFat and Fat32
support is involved

Cheers Brian

5D4 vs 1Dx -Body durability and related questions

oh look he had copy an article must not own the camera himself lmao what a joke

Yet here you are, discussing 1-series cameras which you don't own yourself, passing on what others say about them. So I guess the joke is on you...or more likely, you're just jealous of the 1-series owners posting in this thread. How sad.


SAYS THE GUY WHO NEVER POST HIS WORK, TROLLS THIS SITE AND FB AND THOSE NOT EVEN OWN CAMERAS CAN WE FLAG THIS PERSON OFF THIS SITE ASAP

Canon C100II and useless power adapter

C4userguy said:
I don't get this post. You want to AC-power the C100/2 during an entire shoot? I've used in-built batteries for years now and I can get through a whole play or a soccer game, etc..
Yeah, I’m shooting whole day events (8+ hrs.) and don’t like to hassle with the batteries. Camera came with the power adapter, so it’s there to be used!

C4userguy said:
What is wrong with packing an extension cord? Really now, no need to bash the C100 for something of this nature.
Common power extension cord won’t fix the problem that I have. And I haven’t found extension cord for the other end.

weixing said:
Hi, A very easy solution is to just cable tie the power adapter on the tripod leg, so that it won't hang on the power plug. Have a nice day.
If that's the solution then the camera should came with zip ties included.

I’m just so baffled about this design. In what kind of situations is this power adapter intended to be used? It can’t recharge the batteries and can’t be used in run-and-gun situation. I believe that my case (shooting on tripod) is just the intended place to use power adapter.

Basic questions about shooting in low light

Hi Neuro.
I like the BEAU mode, took a few seconds before I spotted the small print.
I thought P or even [] were the settings suggested to catch fleeing ladders (a thread a long time ago involving blown evidence shots)? The "camera will always get a shot" settings though not what you might use for more considered shots.

Cheers, Graham.

My biggest fear of M mode is that someday I will see bigfoot running away, grab the camera and click off a few shots, only to realize after he is gone I am 7 or 8 stops under or over exposed. In my excitement and haste I had once again forgot to adjust the settings.

That's why I recommend setting up C3 as your BEAU* Mode – settings along the lines of 1/500 s, f/5.6, and Auto ISO. Then, it's a spin of the dial to the end, and you won't miss the shot.

Fuji announces medium format mirrorless range

Sporgon said:
AvTvM said:
not interested. too big, way too expensive and most likely not much IQ advantage over 50 MP 36x24 sensor systems.

why fuji decided to go into tiny MF market that is an all-out battle for survival between several established suppliers already ... no idea. i would have loved to see a leading edge, ultra compact mirrorless FF sensor system from Fuji instead (with X-Trans) - competing with Sony A7/R II.

MF? wake me up, once something like a compact, slim digital Mamyia 7 II (rangefinder-form factor) comes out, with a a true 6x7 sensor ... at USD/€ 4999 or less.



Hey, AvTvM, I've just realised what camera you want, no mirror, small and light, no moving part an' all: the iPhone 6 !

5D MK IV, memory card for 4k

Took some first 4k videos before returning for GPS repair. Filming my great-grandchildren was a pleasure.

SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC 64GB UHS-II card worked well, the SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC 64GB UHS-I/Class 10 stopped recording after 2-3 minutes. Do not know, why the UHS II Did not stop.
No problems with SanDisk CF Extreme PRO 64GB 160MB/s.
The Lexar CF Professional UDMA 1066x 64GB from my 7DII worked fine, there was one stop in videorecording after some minutes.

Explain 5Div GPS to me

wockawocka said:
Maximilian said:
...
By the way:
What is the third clock you mentioned inside the body?

Edit: I did a quick search in the 5D4 manual, didn't find any "third clock" but an "Auto-update" function for synchronizing the internal clock with the GPS clock. Refer to the GPS chapter and/or the GPS menu of the camera.

Thanks!

I'm talking about clocks between bodies. So I have three cameras it total, 2 for me and another for my second. I was hoping the GPS would update the in camera clock.
Got it.
As I wrote: you can activate a clock sync to GPS according to the GPS chapter and/or the GPS menu of the camera.
If that doesn't work with several bodies with GPS (of the same type) I'd be puzzled, too.
