- One of the biggest trends in photo and video right now is the upswing in dramatic, innovative firmware upgrades. The new Fuji X-T1 V4.0 update inspired Chris Niccolls and Jordan Drake to take a look at some other cameras seeing notable upgrades, including the Panasonic GH4 with V-Log L, the Samsung NX1, Sony A6000 and Sony FS7.

You know what? You have a great channel and great content. No singing, no bullshit. Keep these videos going!
TOOBBIINN1 singing? which photography channel has singing? XD
The Big Hair Guy lol
TOOBBIINN1 Great music too... ;)
New Sony A7 firmware 2.0 came out last week, your video just made me check. Great improvements in picture quality and start up.
Long time watcher, first time comment and subscribe. What you guys are doing with this video is incredible and beyond helpful. Thank you! It's unheard of to revisit "old" cameras because they lack the sex appeal of the cutting edge, but as a consumer I'm way more interested in the camera as I will use it than being on the bleeding edge. Thank you so much for your update of these older cameras. I sincerely hope that the rest of the industry jumps on board and that you are able to continue leading the way.
Great job guys!
Cheers
Great idea to review about how the camera improves with firmware updates. I really would like to see more of these.
Any chance you can make some V Log sample footage avalible?
You guys are great, doing things nobody else is doing at such a high level. Thank you.
Thanks for all your reviews and videos, love em! You are the best camera channel by a mile!
Great show guys. The firmware revisions from Fuji were a factor that got me into their camp.
Fuji shooters appreciate this. We are all waiting for Monday when 4.00 is released!
I'm a software developer... Never worked with cameras though. But a few thoughts!
Buggy early release, I believe we just have to accept that's life. And new features released in the first two firmware updates, they are probably often been in the works for a while but was cut out of release scope because manufacturer did not want to delay product launch. Delivering software on time, correctly estimating needed efforts, anticipating delays caused by others etc is very hard in a complex software product.
One of the developers most open about their software process is Black Magic. From them we know they started with multiple firmware tracks but everything was to be merged into one track. The new improved unified software track was going to be amazing. And they promised users features in the BMPCC which were in the new track, a completely different firmware than what the BMPCC was shipped with. And then happened what almost always happen. The simple switch from old software was much harder than anticipated. BM emailed customers and explained, sorry about the long wait, we'll soon be done. Then suddenly the new firmware track was working and Black Magic could start ship new features in a fast stream.
Probably most companies work in a similar manner, they have a common software track for many cameras and a lot of features can pretty easily be ported to older cameras, it is mostly about ensuring correct configuration and having drivers for all components.
In order for Canon and Nikon to become great firmware shippers, first there must be company support. If management doesn't want time spent on supporting old releases, developers aren't going to spend time on them. Then the development organization needs to be up to the task. If the code base is in a shitty state, doing any development is hell. Bad code kills productivity, you become afraid of change if you know any sane change will cause unexpected insane side effects. Companies that never toss or fix bad code is horrible to work in. And then software development teams need to be good. In some organizations, it simply seems hard to development, while in others you feel empowered by your colleagues and can exceed your own limitations.
So code and culture dictates a lot about of how hard it to work in a company.
And any sane developer wanting to do software development should look at a company; how often do they release software, and how amazing is the software? If they release seldom, and the releases are pointless, it probably caused by both an organizational sickness and horrible code.
I understand some people concern that some companies are releasing unfinished camera products but I would rather buy a camera that I know new improvements will keep coming since there is no perfect camera. One interesting function in nx1 is, once it is connected to your home wifi network, the camera will display a sign on its screen when there is a new firm ware available and you would need to do just one click to download and install it. I think it is a brilliant idea and I hope all other companies do the same.
this is why I picked up an XT-1. awesome support, great camera. Fuji needs to keep this up... no other camera manufactory does this so well.
how is the eye focus?
Excellent review /discussion as always. I wish you had a UK store. A gh4 user who is waiting patiently for the vlog.
Great episode covering firmware updates! Indeed it's such an important aspect of a product, but often neglected by manufacturers. So kudos to Fuji, Panasonic and Samsung to roll up their sleeve and get work done.
This is also something what the team at Cactus has been working on as well - fixing bugs here and there and adding new features in our flash triggers. :)
Thank you guys. I didn’t know that my a6000 could have the XAVC-S video codec. Unbelievable, now it’s THE perfect camera (ok doesn’t have touch screen :)
Cheers from Portugal.
I love you guys and your reviews have helped me out a lot of times. Just wanted to shout out to you guys and say hello. Show format is fantastic and is something I look forward to every week. If I have to put down one thing that can be improved upon is Chris letting his co-host complete his sentence once in a while :).
trashhead00 I don't think I'd be able to finish a sentence if given the opportunity. Chris has left me out of practice.
Jordan @ TCSTV
Thanks for this great video, I have only one question regarding new X-T1 Firmware 4.x AF modes.
In either Zone or Wide/Tracking modes, When half-pressing shutter release, sometime several autofocus points (green boxes) are highlighted in green showing they achieved focus - my question is: which one of those boxes the camera is actually locking into for the exposure ?
Sometimes there will be several boxes highlighted in a zone or wide/tracking - some will lock on objects in the front and some locked on objects in the rear - when I fully press the shutter release - which of those boxes is actually used by the camera as the focus point ?
Couldn't find explanation for this in all Fuji manuals
Show less
Thanks for talking about this. So many media outlets don't as it doesn't drive new camera sales!
Thanks for making this video, I wish you had mentioned the E-M1, Olympus added some real important features via firmware updates.
I would love to see more firmware updates in the Sony cameras. Mainly I would like them to add lens profiles to older cameras. The 18-135 PZ has massive distortion and on a body lacking the profile is basically unusable in video.
Great show guys! I would very interested in seeing more videos like this where you give your thoughts and opinions on various camera tech topics. Topics such as manual vs. AF lenses, pros/cons for cheap vs. mid-range vs. high end lenses, audio solutions for different budgets, and accessory trends for both photo and video would be very entertaining and informative.
Awesome video and spot on about the importance and real usability of good firmware updates.
Loved this. Guys please can you make this a regular feature. It would be great to see a short video on how the firmware updates to these cameras affects their performance.
Both of you!!! Perfect Team!!! I'm impressed!
Three years after its release, Canon updated the 7D to have 23 raw depth up from 15. Also added custom auto iso and the ability to rate images. I would say that is a pretty good firmware update especially for a 3 year old camera.
Andy Hodapp Yeah but this was an odd one out. I'm saying that as a Canon user.
The lack of extra features in updates would be perfectly fine, *if only they had competitive functionality/features right from the start*.
I'm pretty dissatisfied with Canon right now. They're clearly not embracing mirrorless like they should and consistently lag behind the competition when it comes to functionality and more importantly: sensor quality. Canon is pretty much dead last in the sensor tech race right now.
Oly did a couple useful updates too. It's awesome that those companies are updating the cameras, although it does feel like they are mainly working on the flagship models.
Great video :) I to share Jordan's concerns about companies pushing camera's out too early with firmware fixes. It already happens in the computer world :( On another note, when you guys getting the A7R II for an early review ;)
Still waiting for Classic Chrome for my X100s - it exists, Jack Arias had tested one X100s supplied by Fuji with a firmware with Classic Chrome installed.
And if Panasonic is looking here too - please listen your consumers about LX100 updates. EVERYONE who have the camera (including me) wants to change the functions of the "Filter" and "iA" buttons - it is a VERY easy update to do and everyone wants it.
Go the Aerobie at the picnic too by the way. Those things are insane for the level of control, power and accuracy.
Just wish my Pentax during video mode was the same!
An excellent episode you guys. Great idea.
It seems like (and Sony have already implemented it) that cameras are going to be a platform for selling software (or apps) maybe in a "pay-as-you-go" or annual subscriptions model. So for a new function, you don't necessarily have to go buy a new camera but simply "link your credit card to your camera" and you can buy new features/functions when they become available OR when you need them.
You guys should have an extra guest for this AFTER DARK episodes....it should hype up the topics conversation....
Great talk as always.
May I ask you guys to complain about the OMD-EM5 and OMD-EM1 line video capabilities? It has worked so well with Fujii, Samsung, Sony and it could be the right way to ask Olympus a fw update on the video side(increase mbps,25+50/60p, flat profiles).
That 5 Axis IBIS is a godsend for the run&gun shooter,why not push it to it's limits also in video mode.
I know...for that there will be the 7RII, but spending 3 grands on it (just for the body) is...well,you know.
I wonder what will happen first.
Panasonic releases Vlog
Or someone leaks the firmware with Vlog.
The camerastore doesn't have the only GH4 updated with Vlog
How does the autofocus on the xt1 stack up against other mirrorless cameras with the new firmware? I know y'all did a test a long time ago against a6000 and gh4 and the fuji lost. Just curious where it sits now.
One more request please: Focus peaking on the GH3 (at least) ;)
great job guys got love my fuji
Great video as normal. Would love to see which current'ish cameras are most in need of a firmware update and why (my personal thought is the D800 never felt like a finished camera and still doesn't). It was interesting the response on Nikon rumours when they thought that Nikon were going to have a page dedicated to to firmware (beyond the normal fix) and how people didn't particularly mind even if Nikon charged something for the firmware update.
I know I am not the first to mention it but the Canon 7D's firmware update was really good. My assistant had the camera and I was massively impressed with Canon for doing this (its a pity they didn't do it more often).
Adding the firmware updates, does make a big difference for me. I bought an X-E1 just to dip my toe into Fuji and have been massively impressed with the firmware upgrades and I know I will be upgrading my Fuji to either a X-T1 or X-T10 in September and start buying Fuji lenses because their autofocus is now working (where as I normally use manual for my XE-1). So Fuji is on a major win, whilst Nikon who I have been with for 15 years will probably lose out of this as I will probably only buy a D800 upgrade when the upgrade to the replacement for the D810 comes along because Nikon cannot be trusted with new releases.
I really hope Samsung gives NX1 a proper Log profile like X-Log or something so we get 13 - 14 stops of dynamic range in video.
I also wish they gave us 240 fps in 720p or something similar, it would be really appreciated.
And damn they need to make the brackets visible on the light metre cause right now I am struggling to shoot with bracketing.
Looking forward to see what the X-T1 update will bring. The AF de focussing before refocusing is a huge issue using the tele zoom, making it unusable for anything approaching sports. In camera HDR would also be nice.
Sony is also getting good at updating firmware too. RX10, a6000 and some received S-Log and some high speed stuff. They should have been included too or I don't mind another video covering more cameras.
You are a great source for relevant up-to-date info.
Thanks!
15:16 I have a GH4 and an Atomos Ninja 2 recorder (I use 4K downconvert to 1080p 10-bit 4:2:2 via HDMI output) I found that adding a LUT to the V-Log L footage, doesn't matter what LUT, that this makes chromatic aberrations really show up on the edges of thin lines (mainly green or red and sometimes purple or blue), which is odd since these chromatic aberrations were either not there or barely visible at al in the unedited footage and don't show up if I edit the footage manually without adding a LUT or changing the input color space on the video in Davinci Resolve. I even had a LUT plugin for Sony Vegas (I use Pro 13) and found the same issue with adding LUTs, so I just avoid them.
I had insomnia before watching this video guys,so a big thank you for posting.
Of course I`m only kidding,another great video from the team.
I think this was a great subject to talk about. Just an idea for these companies, they should make these updates like the cell phone co. do, an OTA, just press the button & it's updated. I'm not the greatest when it comes to this but I'm not an idiot either & I couldn't update the firmware on my RX100 m2, u go on Sony's site & follow that whole page word for word & it doesn't work people get discouraged. If they can make the process easier like the cell phone industry does then they should.
Now, the recently announced Olympus updates for E-M1 and E-M5 II are calling for a Mk II vesion of the FW episode :-)
The Canon 7D (Mk 1) firmware from a few years ago was substantial, enormously increasing its buffer, which was a big deal for me for shooting birds in flight. :)
can't wait to buy my Fuji X-T1
Olympus also provided beefy firmware update on 16 June which improve their flagship EM-1 and to some minor extent the newer EM-5MkII
I'm using Olympus XZ-2 for the last couple of years. Last year I started to get really frustrated by the poor low light AF speed. I constantly had to switch to MF, which is relatively easy on that camera, but still not perfect. I was about to sell it when it occurred to me that there might be a firmware update... you know, like with the Fujis. And yes, there was. In fact it was already available when I bought the camera but the store didn't update it. After the update it felt much better and usable. And I have my camera registered with Olympus - they could've just notified me that there was a firmware update at some point and if I have it.
Thanks for the vid. Didn't realise my a6000 had an update
Been using X-Pro1 & X-E1 for 2 1/2 years, happy with their current abilities but I always hoped the exposure bracketing range could have been increased from -1 / +1 to at least -2 / +2 or even more exposure bracketing options added would have been welcome, the current levels just aren't workable enough.
I had the X-T1 and was very happy with it, specially the manual video update. But the video quality wasn't that great, and peaking went off when youbstarted recording. So I went for the NX1, and I'm very happy with this also, and making the Cinema D perofile flat makes it capture so much information. It still has some problems that really annoy me though. With adapted lenses, for stills, peaking turns off every time you touch the shutter button, which is very annoying in use. For video, you can't turn peaking on when recording using the EVF, which is a drag. There are some other minor things, like let us format to exFAT for smaller cards than 64GB. With exFAT you get 29:59 recording time, without you below 9 minutes for a single recording, and you can fit just over an hour on a 32GB card, so it needs exFAT. And yet with these faults, it's still an amazing camera :)
Great episode, firmware is the new big thing in the camera game... keeps their hardware relevant for longer. I can't wait until I get the Vlog L on my GH4... The other camera that has really impressed me by staying relevant through firmware is the FS700, amazing what that camera can do years after being released.
Brennan Martin The FS700 was our A-cam longer than any other for that very reason!
Jordan @ TCSTV
Great video. Every time i watch you guys i learn something new. I only wish canon could do the same thing as samsung or sony. Firmware upgrades that could improve or even add features would be awesome. Keep up the good work you two. We like ya'll down here in Texas.
Jordan, could you do a video tutorial for shooting and processing nice home videos on the a6000? I'm pretty comfortable shooting photos but video is much more mysterious.
Would be nice if you added bookmarks for the different cameras.
The feeling I have here is that companies like Fuji brings out products that are far away from being End Products and then fix all these missing points via Firmware.
The XT1 is getting now characteristics that the A6000 got from the very beginning.
Something I do like in the Sony cameras is the Play Memories App Store. It adds features at arrive to the camera. The timelapse and remote app changed greatly adding things like RAW out put
But at the same time they charge for feats that should had been there for free from the get go and they yet to truly use their app store potential. I think they made it open source or released the SDK or something in those lines but I thought that by now consumers would already have things to benefit from that.
theSUBVERSIVE ill give you that some of the apps are included by default in other cameras but you won't find them on a Sony body :( it would be good if the Timelapse was built in but purchase once and its available on all your cameras. Things like the touch less EVF shutter is a cool addition, again it feels like it should of been a firmware update but I never knew I wanted such a feature.
I'm not sure does any other camera have the ability to create your own lens profiles in camera?
Your right it needs more content. I also read it was open, even considered writing my own app. Didn't have a good idea :(
Interesting episode that is telling what CaNikon thinks of firmware updates that enable new features for the user, not just bug fixes. Fuji is pioneering the field for sure.
You guys still have the Speedlooks promo code running?
Also with the manufacturers offering these upgrades, will we see less new cameras going forward, manufacturers extending the life cycle and cutting down on R&D? Sales of cameras in total might point into this direction.
Useful blog to follow for firmware updates:
www.imaging-resource.com/news/2015/06/26/firmware-friday-makes-sony-a6000-a7-series-faster-big-updates-from-samsung
I work in embedded products (direct experience with Samsung and Sony) and this topic isn't a 'technical" one. These are consumer products and it simply requires manufacturer commitment to longer product (perhaps system) life-cycles.
As Jordan says, the 'small companies' are forced to 'put out' just to compete, but those companies know consumer retail better than anyone else and are extremely aware of this situation. Decades of experience (and their corporate culture) demonstrate that they will eat your lunch the moment they can. While we're encouraged by the potential of modifiable FW, they do little to allay concerns that these companies are in it for anything but product churn.
Alexa LUTs looks pretty good with BMPCC as well. I've done a bunch a grade with it.
Another great video!!! love your channel :) I really can't wait to see how Vlog changes and helps the way we shoot videos. Now I wish panasonic would just release it already :)
These guys forget the 7D firmware that came out after like 4 years
Thanks to the new firmware which adds powerful memory management algorithms taken from Canon's flagship EOS-1 series, photographers will now be able to enjoy greater flexibility in continuous shooting, with the maximum RAW buffer now extended to a new high of 25 RAW files or 130 JPEGs.
Improved maximum burst for RAW images (up to 25)
In-camera RAW image editing
In-camera Image Rating
In-camera JPEG resizing
Maximum Auto ISO setting (ISO 400-6400)
Manual audio level adjustment in movie recording
GPS compatibility
File name customisation
Time zone settings
Faster scrolling of magnified images
Quick control screen during playback
This is good they could of just kept the algorithms for their new cameras but they did make the firmware for a old camera.
emko333 also 5D3 got F8 autofocus firmware update making it a very good camera with teleconverters. Canon seems like to add features for PROS but refuses to add simple things like in camear timelapse shooting.
emko333 Good catch! Completely forgot about that one.
Jordan @ TCSTV
TheCameraStoreTV you guys are right though the big company's can focus on profits while releasing new features on newer models and splitting features into many cameras, while the smaller guys add as many features as possible into fewer cameras as they don't have the market safety to make and sell so many different models like the big companions.
This is all good news because this will force more competition to add features in all models of a companies cameras.
A7RII looks like it will cause a lot of competition based on what they added to the camera while Canon has to make 3 cameras to do what A7RII does alone High ISO,4K video, High MP and things that Canon lacks in like DR.
TheCameraStoreTV And lenses (Sigma especially) can benefit from firmware updates!
emko333 Lol! I understand what your're saying but I wouldn't call Sony, Samsung, Panasonic SMALLER companies :)
I'm a bit surprised Samsung hasn't updated the NX1 with the ability to use h264, since h265 is easily the number one thing people seem to be complaining about.
Its telling that Chikon is coming in last. Makes the case that when you upgrade look to Samsung, Sony, Fuji and Panasonic. My personal interest is Landscape and if Sony can create uncompressed RAW with Zeiss lenses there is no reason to look at Nikon or Canon. Its a tool to reach a goal! Thanks for being the voice of the Public.
Another thing that bugs me is always seeing TheCameraStore complaining about the NX1's auto focus capabilities in video mode. Try the GH4 auto focus in 4K: It hunts a lot and Panasonic isn't able to fix this issue with their firmware updates. Perhaps the GH4 lacks the needed processing power to correct the focus in 4K mode. It seems to be a huge oversight for me.
o0PGJ0o We mentioned the lackluster GH4 AF in our final review. The difference is that no one is talking about GH4 video AF, but there's a lot of hype about how good NX1 video AF is. I was very underwhelmed by it in every NX1 video test I've done, and find Canon Dual Pixel AF to be the best video AF implementation available.
Jordan @ TCSTV
Finally! GH4 has some pleasing highlight roll-off :) Not quite as nice as Slog, but just barely.
But that's not V-log vs S-log thing, it's more about the DR of each sensor.
will you take a video of both of you selling cameras in a shop? :p
nice grading Jordan!
can you bitch about the A7 now so i can get more features?
Calvin C Let me see what I can do.
Jordan @ TCSTV
TheCameraStoreTV also better lenses for the e mount would be nice , please tweet that to Sony .
its true XT1 was not great at continuous autofocusing but now its a lot better . could be the best camera out there .
It'd be great if Canon released an update for the Canon HF G30 PAL version to allow for 30 and 60fps recording. Fairly sure the hardware can handle it.
So is speedlooks primarily for VLog footage? It looks pretty awesome but I wanted to know if I should wait for the gh4 VLog firmware before I purchased it. Also what's the different between speedlooks studio and speedlooks studio and linear? Thanks!
Daniel Parow There isn't a V-Log profile for SpeedLooks yet, but I used the Alexa LUT. If you want to work with Log files from any manufacturer, you want the Studio edition. The Linear package is for non-log video files, from straight-out-of-camera or lightly modified profiles. Great LUTs though, check them out!
Jordan @ TCSTV
woah grading is much better on this one
i agree firmware can make your camera new my sony went from shooting 1080p30 to now 1080p60 fps
Would love to hear your thoughts about the recent firmware improvements to the NX500.
Hey, TCS! What about testing custom firmware for cameras like the d7000 enabling unlimited video recording or even better: 64 Mbps Full-HD video. That would be a great video :)
I'm stoked for this. Hope they don't mothball it and wait for a GH5 before releasing vlog.
Hi
thank you guys
Your video is good as always.
i have a question:
which camera do you recommend for both stills and video?
what about Olympus omd em-5 II .
If I buy a camera like Gh4 or Nx1 with 4K, do i need 4k TV or computer.
Rad
Another bad example of an unfinished camera was the Sony A77. As much as I love Sony and loved the A77, the first versions were absolutely unacceptable slow in operation, all the controls had lag etc. And that for a camera that is able to process 12fps. They fixed it far later in a firmware update, but it was really unacceptable that it was released that way in the first place and took several firmware versions to fix it.
I want to buy a airline ticket to Calgary just to buy from Chris
Not sure about Sony. I have the original a7. I think we got a slightly quicker start up time and support for some new lenses in about 1 year and a half. Seems like they forgot about the camera since the a7s and a7II came out. If the a6000 got XAVC-S, it may just be because the a7000 got delayed and they were risking not selling a camera that could compete with Samsung?
Jan Bockaert version 2.0 came out 2 weeks ago for the A7, just updated mine. Nice improvements in picture quality and start up
These guys have said clearly that the Fuji video performance was not up to par, I purchased an M1 with xtrans sensor and it is "killer" for stills, that is why I bought it.
For video I have the FZ1000 which rocks for video, at a much better cost than the GH4 for my usage. Thats it from here, enjoy!
Can you guys please get Sony to add a lossless compressed RAW option in the A7rII, please mention it in your A7rII review thanks.
will you review x-t1 with the latest firmware again? with the 90mm f2 lens of the year (imaging-resource)?
Fantastic content of this video guys!
More significantly to me, I think this is the BEST video image quality I've seen on any of your videos to date. Up until this one I was thinking that the FS7 was still eeking out a slim lead in terms of best IQ, but to me the IQ and especially the colors are even better than the FS7.
I do have some questions of course, the biggie of the bunch is whether you shot this in 1080? 1080 is the highest resolution I have available here, and secondly, I prefer this IQ of this just like I prefer the 1080 IQ of my GH4 over the IQ of my GH4 shooting 4K..... So I guess I expect that you either shot this in 1080 at the 200Mbps rate, or you shot it in 4K and crunched it to 1080? It looks phenomenal!!
Veydra primes again? If yes, then I guess the zoom in at 15:51 was a zoom into crop... Maybe that means that you shot in 4K and crunched it to 1080.
Either way, I'm so excited for my GH4 again! Gimme my damn firmware Panasonic! Lol
Hammerhaus Kennel The was shot at 4K and output at 1080. There are several digital crops throughout. SHot once again on those beautiful Veydra Mini-Primes.
Jordan @ TCSTV
TheCameraStoreTV Thanks Jordan! I guess the squeezing down to 1080 helped, because this video was BEAUTIFUL. I have had decent luck squeezing my 4K stuff down to 720 since I haven't needed more than 720 for those projects. I'm excited to shoot some V log footage now!
TheCameraStoreTV How do those Veydra lenses compare to Voigtlander glass?
I really wish that Panasonic release a firmware update which will enable the camera (gh4) to work with stop animation software like cannons live view I would really like to work with dragon animation software just a simple plug in the camera to the computer and the way you go
where is the fuji x100s firmware update ?? still waiting for clasic chrome film but still no update for the x100s :-((
This comment comes from the perspective of a photographer, not a videographer. I want to mention that the use of firmware updates to an initially good design, allows me to retain that body longer. Instead of spending money to shift systems, I can add lenses (and perhaps flash and macro accessories) to my system. That can mean just as much extra sales and cash flow for the manufacturers, while making me a better photographer. I personally have concentrated on the Olympus and Fuji bodies, and now have 12 m4:3 lenses and 9 X-mount lenses. Several years ago, when I hopped from Canon mount to Leica R to Nikon, I never really made any "headway" on glass.
How is the V-log footage at 1600 iso I've heard its improved greatly
You forgot to tell us when V-log is coming out..lol
Please show Panasonic FZ1000 Firmware update & "How" to do it? Thankyou.
Amen on the faith aspect that Fuji customers get to feel. These guys are doing it right and others could learn a lot from them.
I yank on about Pentax a bit, but they have great hardware to play with, but the software lets them down, and firmware updates from them only fix broken things, or allow compatibility with new lens products, to ensure you can spend more with them. Their video capabilities were pretty good in 2012, but they stopped offering real physical sensor stabilisation during video after the K-5 series. So much potential, with Olympus and Sony now doing Pentaxs strong points better than them.
Any idea about the release date for the Panasonic vlog?
At 4:45 My camera is three months old I don't want it any more.
I agree with that.
Yay for updating A6000 but all users of A7 and A7r feels cheated they didn't get XAVC as well...
Question, like when u guys were talking about the a6000, if I purchased that camera today would it be updated by Sony when I took it out of the box or would I have to do the update, I guess that is a all around question, if u buy a camera that's been out for awhile & updates happened, u buy the camera down the line do these companies update the cameras or do they make u do it, is it always 1.0 ?
sski66 Depends when the camera shipped. It usually takes a couple months after firmware is launched before it comes pre-installed on new cameras.
Jordan @ TCSTV
TheCameraStoreTV Thanks Jordan.
Firmware made my X1 Pro perform like a new improved camera WRT improvements in focus and EVF lag
I'm using BMPCC and if v log cone to gh4, I'll get it right away! Only question is about color grading for gh4 with vlog cuz it's in mp4. I found resolve process mp4 so slow when compared to prores, so how do you grade gh4 4k vlog mp4?
And I have to credit black magic update their firmware a lot....XD
diman Ku You can convert the mp4 files to prores before getting into resolve. As far as I have read resolve doesn't like anything besides prores, raw and the avid codecs.
Panasonic is charging $99 for its Vlog firmware. What's is TCS reaction to it?
Was the jerking in out of focus with the newest firmware?
