  1. Weird. A camera from China with a Dutch brand name.

    Canon, Sony… Bosma? Nobody saw the latest 8K camera coming! Check out this crazy cube camera

    The world's third consumer 8K camera has arrived, but it's not from Nikon, Fujifilm, Panasonic or Olympus – it's from niche Chinese manufacturer Bosma.

    Following in the footsteps of the Canon EOS R5 and Sony A1, and beating both the Nikon Z9 and Sharp 8K Video Camera to the punch, the Bosma G1 8K is a curious camera from a little-known company in China best known for making binoculars, telescopes and smart cameras.
    Unlike the former three full-frame systems, the Bosma G1 8K uses a Micro Four Thirds image sensor and mount – just like the Sharp 8K Video Camera. Indeed, it appears that the Bosma uses the same sensor – a brand-new 33MP CMOS affair with a resolution of 7680 x 4320 – as the Sharp camera, which has been in a state of limbo ever since being revealed at CES 2019.

    "There is a very good chance that this is the same exact sensor that was being used in Sharp’s 8K Micro Four Thirds Camera," notes Newsshooter. "Sharp and Astro Design have collaborated before on quite a few cameras and that also appears to be the case with the Bosma G1 8K."

    Astro Design is a distributor in Japan that is currently renting and selling the camera – which was quoted as having a $5,000 price tag in this interview from CES 2020.

    The Bosma captures 8K at 30 or 25p at a bitrate of 200Mbps, and 4K at 60, 50, 30, 25 or 24p at 100Mbps, with continuous recording times of up to 30 minutes. Both 8-bit and 10-bit recording is offered, using the H.264 or H.265 codec for MOV or MP4 files.

    No doubt to keep costs down, the camera uses CFast 2.0 cards or records directly to an external SSD – though it is geared towards real-time streaming via HDMI 2.1 or a low-price, live 5G streaming option.
    Full specs of the Bosma G1 8K can be found on the Astro Design website, or you can check out the YouTube presentation above (make sure to turn on subtitles unless you can read Japanese!)

  2. New info on the R5cinema.

    Canon EOS R5c Announcement At The Beginning of 2022?

    A cinema version of the EOS R5 might get released, sometimes in 2022

    We didn’t get the Canon EOS R3, despite all the rumors pointing to an imminent announcement. But despair not: here is a Canon EOS R5c rumor for you.

    The EOS R5c would be the cinema/movie making version of the EOS R5. Rumor-wise the EOS R5c got little attention. Canon Rumors reports with confidence that the EOS R5c might get announced in Q1 2022. The rumor also suggests that the announcement was postponed after a scheduled October 2021 release.

    While getting most of the features of the Canon EOS R5, the EOS R5c might also sport:

    • active cooling
    • slightly different form factor
    • more codecs for video recording
    • full-size HDMI port.
    Still a long time to go for an announcement in Q1 2022. Stay tuned.

  3. Well, to be honest the thread title doesnot cover the content of my posts, as it's turned into a generic developments in the area of 8K computer and camera technology.

    Latest news concerns the capability of Nikon's Z9 to capture 8K at 60fps, that was promised.
    It's going to be made possible by incorporating the licensed TicoRaw in the camera

    Nikon is licensing intoPIX's TicoRAW technology for 8K/60p Raw video in its Z9 camera

  4. So the year kicked off with the anticipated announcement of the Canon R5C.
    https://www.dpreview.com/news/02137...inema-eos-and-a-stills-camera-all-in-one-body
    It is truly a hybrid camera, as you can with a flip of a button make it switch from totally photo orientated to video with dedicated menues.
    It also has a 8K 60fps mode, as the Nikon Z9 will have after software update.
    So these two beasts of cameras put a burden on the computer editing power needed.
