@scrax Getting M50 now is a good choose! Ultra cheap, Viltrox SpeedBooster and with ML it will be a small beast.

Ha ha -- went into the "Hall of Shame" a.k.a. SPAM.

Looks like this topic jumped the shark.

No, I guess he just pressed "delete" instead of modify  Happened to me once.

@a1ex do you think it's possible in theory to add touchscreen navigation in ML?

This is the period when 7D shooters, waiting with great anxiety for the fixes from a month ago, simply got frustrated, gave up on their 7Ds and transfered to other camera brands. 

I barely can understand (with overall camera prices drop and different alternatives) keep shooting for real with 900g outdated APC-S camera with moire in 2019... Literally, I don't understand whom are you talking about. It's nice (maybe) to remove some dust from your first 10 years old camera and click shutter few times here and there, but more?

I know about "when", just kidding  Just happy with fact there's some "visual" progress after 2 or even 3 years of researching.

What's difference that M50 has EOS firmware?

- price!

Yep, I've got it to replace the good old 5D3.

Ok Alex, when we can go to the shop and buy it ... with ML on board? Honestly never thought my next camera could be "M"... in world of Fuji&Sony alternatives 

Awesome, Alex! Might be the most hardest camera to port?

M50. Already ported? Wow.

"Hello World" binary (untested, for firmware 1.0.1 only): autoexec.bin

Happy April 1st

Great! Thanks Alex )

@chris_overseas what's going to be next?

CIPA-cycle is not undisputed (to put in friendly wording). Do you have any information if cam can be powered by external USB power bank?

doubt there's any adaptor yet, because this type of battery was used before in pretty amateurs cameras.

My wrong! Corrected it!

But look up this one:
Number of pics (according to CIPA): 250? 100D is rated for 350 ...

well, looks like what they had to pay for low cost of camera and weight. it was 370 for the Canon R
and 250 well, that's not much at all

literally what we can see: canon for the first time trying to get market with aggressive retail price of new camera?

UHS-I only. Oh, Canon, why?

just checked full specs, they claim UHS-II

Lens Mount       Canon RF
Pixels          26.2 Megapixel
Memory Card Type    SDHC SDXC
Battery         1 x LP-E17 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack, 7.2 VDC, 1040 mAh
Physical Dimensions 5.2 x 3.3 x 2.8" / 132.1 x 83.8 x 71.1 mm
Weight         1.07 lb / 485 g

Built-in 0.39 inch, 2.36 million dot Electronic Viewfinder with Touch-and-Drag AF
Vari-Angle LCD touchscreen
4K UHD 24P/Full HD 60p video recording with 4K time-lapse shooting and the ability to extract still images from 4K video recordings
ISO range of 100-25,600 that is expandable up to ISO of 102,400

retail price of $1299.00 for the body

for the price (mostly), if you don't own other system camera, this might be ok camera

4k crop reduced a bit to 1.6x from 1.74x, but no Canon Log (all other fake logs dont' expand DR at all), no 30p in 4k (can't do sort of slow-mo with 80%)

4k IPB only ( LOL
FHD IPB only also.. wtf?

Right now only reason to get 5D3 only if you're going for photo as well. For video BMPCC4K is superior to 5D, only the problem you may have with BM - bad battery life. Keep in mind, if you will get 5D3 it will used, you never know when you will have too many hot pixels with it. Also, you're getting full version of Resolve with BM.

BMPCC4k has auto-focus actually, it hasn't continuous AF.

Literally, in a price range, if you need RAW there's no other alternative.

Hi there,

this is my first post here, but I've been following both the 80D and the 5D IV threads for a little while now, since I just upgraded from an 80D to a 5D IV.
I'm a computer science student and am willing to spend some time on this, and think I could help a little bit. My 5D IV runs v1.1.2, so I'll start by updating the codebase to the new version.
However, I've got finals coming up in a few weeks and won't be able to work on this until late February.

Hope I'll be able to help!

Just do not fade out as previous ppl! Also take a look in 80D thread, there's an actual progress.

offtop : Why Ronin and not Moza2?

Yeah, horizon ruins the idea. Why you didn't fix it on post. Overall looks unusual )

This is truly beautiful and poetic. Do you mind name 6D shots?

And make sure you measure the correct white balance when shooting

Why? It's true RAW, you can set WB in post w/o colors degradation.

[potential]

This question is directed more to ML developers then to R owners.
Is R have any potential advantages for ML video possibilities over 5d4, except eye tracking?

No. But image quality can differ. For some reason, 4K on 5D4 is sharper then on R.

Hi all,

Well, I'm new on this forum and I first want to thank you a lot for all the wonderful job you're doing. ML is...Magic.
I'm currently owning a 6D but will upgrade to a 5D soon, mark iii or iv.
Just wondering about your thoughts on the mark iv. There is obvisouly more Dynamic range comparing to the mark iii but apart from this, what can justify this very costly update ? As there is no CF Fast, we will still be very limited for 4K (and higher) record.
Or am I missing something ?

Depends on what are you going to do. There's no ML for IV atm, so you can shot with it as is. III has ML so you can shot in RAW and get that DR. If you don't need AF in video, III with ML RAW has much better image quality. But for future obviously, IV with ML RAW will knockout any camera with $6000 and lower.

For slow mode 50p you've to switch to 720p (expect massive aliasing) and than stretch footage vertically by x1.69 in post.
x3 is a crop mode w/o aliasing and moire for regular footage 24/25p
