Max Yuryev explains Why you Shouldn’t Buy The EOS M5…

Well known Youtuber Max Yuryev explains why you Shouldn’t Buy The EOS M5. And this is going to upset quite some Canon fan!

On the other hand DxOmark tested the EOS-M5 sensor and is quite satisfied with the results:

Taken together with the 24.2-MP Dual Pixel AF CMOS sensor and Digital IS, it all signals Canon’s intention to compete more seriously with rivals in the mirrorless segment. With hindsight, it seems like the Dual Pixel AF CMOS was designed with mirrorless in mind. Image quality is similar to that of the sensor found on the EOS 80D.

Fuji GFX versus the crazy Phase One 100 megapixel camera!

You want to see what’s the difference between the Fuji GFX 50 Megapixel 44x33mm sensor and the Phase One 100 Megapixel 54x40mm sensor? At Imaging Resource you can compare the Lab Shots. Here are quick links to full size samples:
ISO 100: GFX vs XF100
ISO 1600: GFX vs XF100
ISO 6400: GFX vs XF100

The findings so far:
– At ISO 100 the XF100 shows an incredible resolution and color information.
– At higher ISO the XF100 really sucks. Phase One does a terrible job when you crank up the ISO! Images are very noisy compared to the Fuji with lot of color artifacts.

Phase One is known for being useful for landscape photographers and studio work. So they don’t are used to work at high ISO and it seems they lack the knowledge and power of Fuji.

Quick update on the previous Zeiss and Sony lens announcement rumors:

Sony will announce the new 16-35mm f/2.8 GM lens in April. And there could be a new camera too…

PentaxForums had the chance to interview Ricoh/Pentax managers. When they asked them about the possibility of going back making 1 inch or APS-C mirrorless system cameras that’s the answer they got:

We keep watching the trends in the mirrorless camera market, however there is no specific plan on our roadmap at the moment.

And regarding the Q-Line they say:

The Q series is still an active line and the Q-S1 and lenses are still being made and marketed for Asian markets.

Imaging Resource says the GFX “produces the best lab shots we’ve ever come across”


ISO 100: Fuji GFX (left) vs. Pentax 645Z (right)

Imaging Resource posted the Fuji GFX Labs shots. And the great news is that Fuji really managed to squeeze out much more from the Sony 50MP sensor than Pentax managed to do with the Pentax 645Z (which sues the same sensor). Imaging Resource writes:

Well, based on this initial First Shots assessment, the Fuji GFX is simply stunning, both at low and high ISOs. This camera produces the best lab shots we’ve ever come across. Detail is fantastic, and high ISO performance is excellent.

Impressive work from Fuji! Now lets hope IR will add the Hasselblad X1D Lab shots soon too. I am curious to see if Hasselblad can match the GFX performance.
