      oh totally, it's the same humor type and animation style. Similar voice tone as well. Lots of similarities . I saw Lok as a sort of James May, calmed , composed but more reserved and older tastes. But that chemistry is gone from the show since Kai is in the UK.

    I need to stop reading the comments on videos testing high end cameras. Not every camera will be perfectly suited for you, because other people have other requirements believe it or not. This is for fast action, it's a very specialised camera and that's why it costs so much. If you don't feel you need the features this camera offers, or even think other cameras offers more compelling features, then buy something else.

  • @DrZeeple

    And here we are in 2024, and this is now an affordable camera - more's the point, it's still fun and useful, exactly because it is fast and NOT a mirrorless video camera for stills.

    Was really hoping you'd go into the video aspect a little more. I'm interested to see how it compares to the Panasonic GH4 or Sony a7S II since the bitrate is so high. But I guess without V-LOG, that says a lot. Disappointing. Hopefully the 5D Mark IV will be 4K.

    • @maxcollier2293
      @maxcollier2293 8 років тому

      well, it isnt exactly a video camera. Its main use is shooting sports and id assume the only reason it has a video feature is so it actually has video. And i'm gonna assume the 5d mk4 will have 4k

    • @Royal_Vengeance
      @Royal_Vengeance 8 років тому +3

      Well it's two different worlds really. The 1DX line is a speed stills demon. It's nowhere near the competition in video but so is the D5 with its laughable 3 minutes limit in 4K. But we don't see any GH4 nor A7 in Rio for sports , it's not their purpose. The 1DX is the pinnacle of Canon for autofocus and burst speed , same for the D5 from Nikon. Comparing a7s and GH4 is comparing two different markets really. Just my 2 cents.

    Very surprised that no one mentions the fact that it has 4k 60fps. I mean it adds a lot of value in my opinion to people that need good quality video. The 5D Mark IV only goes up to 30fps, makes slow motion more difficult. This camera is great with that 14fps shooting, I mean i dont know why people complain, if you do some type of photography that involves a lot of movement or low light situation, this camera is perfect. 61 af points also very important. But then again, if you have to buy this camera, make sure you re making some money with your results.

    ATG/Sony said Canon and Nikon will be in trouble. They were right & correct.
    ATG/Sony SLT-A99 II will be here in 2017.
    B&H Photo and other have reduced the canon eos-1d c (canon's true top-of-the line, not the 1d x ii or 1d x).
    Camera stores are now upset that they can't make a $3,000.00+ profit from you.
    Canon EOS-1D C is under $4,500.00.
    Best to buy the EOS-1D C over the EOS-1D X II, unless you know nothing about videos.

      Bertziethegreat umm, why will I have to upgrade?
      I'm a casual photographer, or perhaps going to be when I get one. I've got to use it for a pretty long time before I upgrade, so I want the best of these so that i don't regret a lot later on.

      Mazin Bashar You wont "have" to upgrade, but you'll want to. Because as you get better, there are going to be features you want that any entry level camera wont have. If you go with a $2-300 camera and learn on it, you wont feel the need to hold onto it longer than necessary.
      I'm a casual photographer myself, and I used my t3i (600d internationally) for 3 and a half years before I upgraded to the 7d mark ii because my t3i just couldn't do some of the things I wanted it to do.
      I'm not telling you you'll HAVE to upgrade, I'm just suggesting you save your money, get a cheap camera, get out there and start shooting.

      Hi. I currently use a Nikon D3300 and you can get amazing photos with it in RAW and it is a great camera to learn on as it has the built in instructions. It also allows you to take high quality photos in a fairly simply way. If I were you I would go for the D3300 but it is up to you.👍 Just remember one thing... HAVE FUN👍😃
