Hi all,

I've been toying with the idea of getting a 360 camera. I'd like to use it for stills AND video I think.

At this point, for both stills and video I'm thinking the Insta360 One X may be the way to go. I'm trying to find out if a new model might be coming this fall (Sept-ober or so)....before I buy one now.

But it looks like a fun new way to be creative and see the world.

Do ya'll have any of them? What brands? Which models?

Do you use them mostly for stills or video or both equally?

How are you using them creatively?

Thanks in advance,

cayenne

I was expecting some sort of quick response form Sony on the 90D/M6 Mk II.

But I honestly thought it would be more than this:

A6600.pdf

drive.google.com

I've only skimmed it (and I'm sure there's good stuff in there), but in broad strokes: Still 24 MP. Still 11 fps.

But they will offer an f/2.8 standard zoom for crop, so there's that.

I finally broke down and bought a good deal on an open box RF 50mm f1.2 lens for my EOS R. Very happy with the lens. I also have an EF 85mm f1.2 II which is a little less than amazing wide open, at least by modern standards. So I'm eyeing up the RF 85mm f1.2. But the talk of a higher resolution EOS R coming soon has got me thinking... Would the RF 50mm f1.2 combined with a higher resolution EOS R model be nearly as good as having the RF 85mm f1.2?

The way I look at it, the RF 50mm has proven to be a very sharp lens. On a higher resolution camera, cropping down to be equivalent to an 85mm focal length seems like it would leave me with just about the same image as if I would have taken it with the 85. Maybe slightly less sharp, but I'm not sure it would be worth the $2600 and changing lenses, as good as the 50mm seems to be.

(Also, for people about to go on about focal length compression, I don't think a cropped 50mm image would be any different than a full frame 85mm image, according to this. https://photographylife.com/what-is-lens-compression . However I'm not sure about the DOF effects of 50mm and crop compared to 85mm uncropped.)

Did anyone else notice that recently the Windows 10 login screen photos are now showing credit to the photographers? There was some grumbling that Microsoft was paying for stock images unbeknownst to the photographers but also that the images were completely uncredited. Now it shows the photographer's name and the agency from which the image was licensed. So that's cool now they can get recognized personally.

It's an old link, but I recently came upon this article about a Canon patent of a tilt-shift adapter. Now that the RF mount is a thing, it makes me wonder what, if anything, would hold them back from releasing such an adapter for RF now?

Adding shift capabilities to any EF lens is very appealing, especially with a good wide-angle zoom, especially if AF works too.

Canon has decided to release an interim financial report for the time period of January 1, 2019 – June 30, 2019 for the following reason.
We are pleased to provide this overview of the first half (from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019) of our 119th Business Term.
The world economy in the first half of this term saw a slowdown in growth as a whole due to a deceleration in European economy and the effect of the lingering U.S.-China trade friction.
Under such conditions, corporate demand for office multifunction devices and laser printers stagnated, while the markets for digital cameras and inkjet printers continued to shrink. As a result, both Office Business Unit and Imaging System Business Unit experienced a decrease in sales. Sales of the Medical System Business Unit, which delivered strong sales results for computed tomography (CT) systems and other products in the Americas, increased. On the other hand, sales of the Industry and Others Business Unit, which includes semiconductor...

Next week, we’re obviously going to see both the Canon EOS 90D and Canon EOS M6 Mark II announcements. Along with the two new camera bodies, we should also see 2 more RF lenses officially announced this week. The RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM, RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM coming first and the RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM coming at a later date.
We have received pricing for the 3 mentioned lenses, but the pricing came to use in Thai Baht, so we’ve done a bit of converting to get what we think the USD pricing will be.

It is a safe bet that the 7D3 is not going to come out and replace the 7D2, but what happens next?

The camera industry is moving towards Mirrorless.... Canon and Nikon are the last holdouts, and Canon is on the way. At the lower end, we have the M series, and at the higher end, the R series. We are told that there are higher end R cameras on the way, including a high megapixel monster.

However, the bulk of Canon sales are the Rebels. People seem to prefer that combination of size and price, and there is no way that Canon are going to let that market get away from them. At some point soon, I expect to see some low cost kit lenses appear in the R mount, and eventually an R mount Rebel. Likewise, I think that the 90D will be the end of its line.

Looking at other makers of high end crop cameras, we have Olympus and Panasonic who have both come out with very high end crop cameras. Both are loaded with features and have so much computing power packed into them, that they had to make bodies that are reminiscent of a 1DX series camera. I expect that Canon will join the fray, and we will end up with an R mount body, slightly bigger than the R, with improved battery capacity, an IBIS crop sensor (35 megapixel range), quad Digic 9?, and similar functions to the Oly and Panasonic top end cameras.

I don’t expect to see it for a couple years, but 60FPS burst modes, superhigh in camera stitching mode, single shot HDR,, object recognition and tracking, and 6K video (8K?) are all possibilities.

Anyway, this is just speculation, I have no secret inside knowledge (or imaginary helicopter) and am just guessing/wishing for the future. However you look at it, these are interesting times for camera gear.

So here is a screen shot from two different cameras. I have processed both to be 'optimal', that is not the same processing to both just the best I could do for each.

Which do you prefer and are you concerned about the differences?

thanks for any advice in advance, here's a little bit of something I've been going through, btw I'm very new to trying to film on a pro-sudeo level so please excuse any of my cringe worthy comments or questions

I'm more of music guy but am working with someone who's also a music person but also willing to help on the video front. I was in the market for a Canon but after watching a bunch of videos with the iPhone xs max compared to countless prosumer cameras I was sold that it could match up with the real deal. So I upgraded from 7plus to iPhone xs max and filmic pro app, also bought final cut pro. So it came time to start shooting some music video footage at 4k 24fps 100 bits, shot in natural and flat and took time to really get some great footage, and although I thought the videos came out very good, they just weren't as creamy and smooth (when moving slightly and all around actually) as some of the other footage on different days they got with a couple of Canons, those didn't have 4k but were at 1080 hd 24fps (Quick note: now that I think about all those youtube shootout videos with the xs max vs enter really great camera here, they never were actually moving very much, but always still or slow-mo, and I'm not talking about moving fast or sloppy but just slightly, just seems the iPhone with filmic pro doesn't have the juice that solely prosumer cameras have, I could be wrong) So this person decided to only use the canon 1080 hd 24 fps footage and in editing right now its looking phenomenal! I'm not sure which canons they had but I know neither had 4k, I started to think maybe 4k was a problem at least on my end with filmic pro and iPhone but we tested 1080 hd 24 and it looked worse than the 4k, plus I stumbled across this beautiful 4k music video shot on a mark 4 posted by canon Europe so clearly that was idiotic off me to even think that 4k could have been the problem

here's the Canon Europe video shot with 5D mark 4 has me sold

I've come to the conclusion am not going to get footage like this off my iPhone Xs max no matter what 3rd party app and however much editing or however much skill, I don't doubt you can get some really great footage thats doable as I've got some myself but it just doesn't look professional or have weight like this but feels more thin/grainy/sharply digital and so on but still good

I've been holding off on buying the 5d mark 4 as it's going on 3 years and hopefully they'll be coming with a newer version before the olympics, but also I do not like the crop on 4k at all, I believe all of the current canons have that crop at 4K?

I watched the leaked 90D video and wasn't able to tell if there is crop on the 4k, do you guys think that 90D will be able to shoot the same quality as that video I posted? is not having 24fps but only 30 and 25 a bad thing?

so after all that I'm trying to find out in the price range of about 4grand(has two be new, and also tryna get a 50mm and 24-105 lens hopefully) but willing to spend a little more what kind of canon could produce the quality thats in that video I posted other than the mark 4. You think the EOS R? 90D when it comers out? or should I wait a little while longer? the whole goal is to get footage like in that video and I am aware that theres a lot of post production and a lot of skill when actually filming but I want to make sure that the camera I buy Is capable of getting such footage in the first place, sorry if my thread is a mess and really makes no sense to you guys, let men know if I can further explain anything and thanks again for your time and help!
