Appleinsider on Thunderbolt 5 vs Thunderbolt 4
From Malcolm Owen at AppleInsider.
This is exciting, especially for faster monitors, I just hope it works better with more devices and hubs! I have a hub per bus already and could use more ports!
Insta360 has gone 8K with the X4
OOh this is exciting and it looks just like the X3, but higher resolution and HDR (Well at least more depth than the X3 had I am assuming. The Insta360 X4 has been released and it looks awesome. Honestly the standard lens guards and resolution make this worth it.
PVC on the Ronin 4D-8I upgrade finally announced
I would love to play with one of these to see just how stable it is.
Canon has announced the R5 and R6 and at least on paper the video specs are impressive, with 8K internal Recording on R5 and full autofocus during video recording
The high end Canon EOS R5 for $4000.
And the more consumer $2500 dollar EOS R6 have been announced.
They use the new RF Lens Group, and must use and adapter to use EF or EF Lens with a slight crop.
The R5 is 45 Megapixels with an ASA up to 102400 while the R6 is only 20.1. with an ASA up to 204800. They both have super fast 1053 zone autofocus with up to 20 FPS and both use dual cards, though the R6 is just UHS-II while the R5 has a single CFExpress which is required to required to run 8K RAW (and strangely it doesn’t do 4k RAW at all).
So for video the R5 does 8K DCI and 8K UHD, as well as 4k DCI and 4k UHD at 120 FPS, with a 20 minute recording time. And the 1 TB CFExpress card for about $800 will hold 53 minutes.
The R6 only shoots 4K UHD at 29.97 or 23.976, and doesn’t record in RAW at all.
The screens on the back are fully articulated and touch screen, but the R5 has a slightly larger higher resolution screen and the R6 also removes the LED from the top of the camera.
Can’t wait to see how these cameras shoot video, because we know the stills will be good, but lets hope for little jello.
It looks like Canon has finally stepped up with DSLR’s for video that are very impressive, if a bit expensive!
No Film School on why Guardians of the Galaxy 2 will be shot on the RED WEAPON 8K.
It includes James Gunn’s post on Facebook, which is really interesting, and I love what he is saying about Film and Digital. How he is not trying to replicate film and just finds it easier to do digital work when it is all digital (which is always what I felt, and what made doing a film like Star Wars The Force Awakens on film seem a little ridiculous). It also for Long Takes and for the small size of the body.
