Canon edged out Nikon in the professional market. And now Sony is beginning to edge Canon out.
Do you have even a shred of evidence to support that claim?
But..but.. three youtubers switched. Canon are doomed.
YOU"RE RIGHT !!!!! Canon is Truly Doomed !!!!
I unfortunately get to help it become even MORE DOOMED because THIS is what is coming out from a certain camera manufacturer which at this point shall remain nameless...BUT NOW...has my codec in it's products:
I ENSURED VIA AN IRON-CLAD CONTRACT, THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN SET to come to market!
1) A Very Large Sensor 65mm Medium Format
COMBINED Stills and Video Camera is coming out:
a) It has 8192 by 6144 pixels at a 4:3 aspect ratio with recording
at multiple user-selectable common cinema and video aspect ratios.
It supports multiple anamorphic modes and lenses.
b) It has 16-bits per colour channel with RGB + Depth Map Channel (64-bits pixel)
You can attach a Microsoft Kinect-like device to its USB port to obtain
millimeter-level distance-to-sensor accuracies at short distances (25 meters)
and sub-meter accuracies at long distances (200 meters). It is being looked
at to build the depth map emitters/sensors INTO the front of the lenses!
c) It shoots at 25 fps Burst rate at 50 megapixels
d) It has a 6.xx microns per photosite Bayer Pattern sensor.
It is NOT YET Global Shutter BUT a global shutter sensor is
being designed and will be made available for a future version!
Rolling shutter is on par with Canon 1Dx Mk2 which is VERY GOOD!
e) It has 4:4:4 Uncompressed RAW and RGB+D 4:4:4/4:2:2 at 16/14/12/10/8-bits
per channel and Bitmap/JPEG-2000/JPEG still photos with a depth map channel.
f) It has 4:4:4 Uncompressed RAW and 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1 Run-length and ZIP-like
encoded RAW video at 16/14/12/10/8-bits per channel + depth map video
saved internally to removable SSD drives (there are TWO SSD connectors)
and via the two HDMI and two Display port video out ports. The output ports
can be set INDEPENDENTLY to have the metadata/onscreen display overlays
AND/OR be set to FULLY CLEAN DCI/HDTV/UHDTV 2K and 4K output resolutions.
Typically two of the 2-or-4-terabyte SSD flash drives are inserted!
Two UHS-3 slots for SDXC and SDUC cards are on-camera for parallel
writing of one copy of imagery put to each card for maximum safety OR
sequential writing for max capacity! (I insisted upon those two items!)
UHS-3 slots are for lower-res 4k/2K 422 video and 444/422 stills while
Two SSD SATA flash drives are for full 444/422 resolution/RAW stills and video
written in parallel for safety or in sequence for max capacity (user selectable).
g) It has DCI 4k (4096 x 2160 pixels), 3840x2160, 2048x1080p and 1920x1080p
4:2:2 14/12/10/8-bits per channel + depth map INTERFRAME H.265-like
compressed video output to files and ports with each frame fully sampled
from the entire sensor at a full 60 fps. (Video can be made CLEAN on
all output ports)
h) It has interframe-compressed DCI 4K 120 fps 10 bit 4:2:2 video and
DCI 4K 240 fps 4:2:0 8-bit video to files and output ports cropped
from the middle of the sensor. I have insisted on a 300 fps and
480 fps 422 10-bit 2048x1080p and 1920x1080p mode written to
the container files and the codec buyer has agreed to ensure it
comes out on the first version of camera with NO extra licencing fee!
An Apple ProRes output file container is being looked at/designed for
a future BIOS update.
i) It has Date/Clock Time/SMPTE Timecode/GPS Location (Lat/Long/Elevation)
and Camera-head 3D-XYZ rotation/orientation Metadata Stamps and other
user-definable Metadata Stamps embedded into every still photo and every
video frame OR embedded at every GOP (Group of Frames) which is
user-selectable and streamed out live via the USB-3.1 port, Gigabit Ethernet
port or the Wi-Fi port and/or directly embedded into the saved video files
and/or the HDMI/DisplayPort video streams.
j) It is low-light and low-noise-specific engineered BETTER THAN the Sony A7s2
AND has body and lens weather sealing SIMILAR to the Canon 1Dx Mk2!
It can also act as a very expensive 8K stills and DCI 4K/2K Video Webcam
as it has a Gigabit Ethernet port and FAST Wi-Fi and all its Iris/Zoom/Focus/etc
settings can be controlled from afar by wireless Wi-Fi interconnect or the Cat-6
RJ-45 connector or the USB-3.1 connector. (I INSISTED upon that functionality!)
h) It has a very ergonomic moveable/changeable grip and the body
has a fully rotating/swivelling up-to-120 fps OLED 2.7k Live View screen
i) Multiple lenses are coming out right from the starting gate!
Both Zooms and Primes of VERY high quality! Lens prices will
be commensurate with quality of lenses. Future versions of lenses
will have a depth-map emitter and sensor system built-into the
front of the lens.
j) Battery life for Stills AND Video is phenomenal because the
battery system is much larger than most other systems
k) IS SET TO BE MUCH Cheaper than the Hasselblad and Phase-One cameras!
2) A series of large sensor Android smartphones (Four-thirds AND an APS-C
at 28.4mm diagonal size) with 4K screens and 16 Gigabytes of SYSTEM RAM
and 128 GB and 256 GB of built-in storage is coming out! One phone will
have an interchangeable lens. I won't yet say which mount because that
would be too obvious!) Stills are 20+ Megapixels 4:4:4/4:2:2 RAW/JPEG-2000/JPEG
and video is 4096x2160 at 60 fps 10 bits 4:2:2 Interframe H.265-like encoded.
3) A DCI 8K (8192 by 4380 pixel) 65mm GLOBAL SHUTTER video/cinema
with fully uncompressed 120 fps 16-bits per channel RAW/RGB+D camera is
ALSO being introduced with more details coming later.
It will surpass the Arri Alexa-65 in capability using a single DCI 8k
Bayer sensor and NOT the 3 stitched-together sensors the Alexa-65 uses!
It will ALSO support anamorphic images and lenses up to 2.35/2.40:1 aspect ratio!
AND REMEMBER!
YOU HEARD THIS ---CORPORATE APPROVED LEAK--- HERE FIRST !!!!!!!!!!
