@Vitaliy_Kiselev "Strange 4K at 2840x2160" An old capitalist trick, the typo trick, i saw it in a previous company i worked for, a long time ago, let's say you have a managers round table, the boss came and announce some radical decisions , usually it's about firing people, the boss distributes some files with charts supposed to justify the deal. Of course he tells each manager how sensitive these docs are and how they should never reach the labour union hands. Usually, there's always a manager, driven by heart or ambition (depends), who will make these notes reach the labor union. There's two cases, the manager knows the trick and will correct the files or he does not know the trick and the boss can identify the traitor...

New update coming

Canon will add 24p video modes to M6 Mark II, both in 1080p and 4K.

But you must be very patient. Release will come sometime in 2020, may be even year from now.

I spoted a typo in the specs: 1080p frame rate missing 120fps and 100 fps.

4K Cinestyle, day and night:

Canon EF 24-70mm F4.0 lens. Viltrox Speedbooster used for the night video.

Shooting Clog3 internally using the DELUTS Clog3 Picture Profile:

This video was edited using Color Management in DaVinci Resolve, so the mathematical transform to REC709 was based on Canon's real Clog3, and seemed to result in a good picture (so the two are very close). Atomos also endorses this PP for use with the Ninja V, which also has a Canon Clog3 implementation. The M6 ii has 10bit 422 HDMI output, so one can shoot log with this camera and edit 10bit Prores clips. In camera, the clips are 8bit, of course.

DPReview Review (Gold Star)

DrDave

Looking at the 4K video samples on DPReview, the video resolution is absolute crap. I thought my glasses had fogged up.

markr041

@DrDave I have posted multiple videos here. Do they look like crap too? Do you think the DPReview videos are somehow definitive or you were just being polite to posters here? I have used many cameras, so I do not have a stake in the results.

Ah, I see - you are pixel peeping using resolution charts. You are not commenting on actual videos.

Pixel peeping is totally out of place for video. You do not blow up video frames 200% and put your nose against the screen to watch films or video. Pixel peeping is relevant for stills, since one does blow up stills and people do view them up close. Video and film are viewed at a distance, proportionate to the size of the screen (the bigger the screen, the farther the viewer). What all will see in video (film) is color and dynamic range no matter what the distance, resolution is not first-order (most Alexas upscale to 4K). Most films "on the big screen" are seen at less than 4K.

Howdy, Stranger!
