p.1 #1A1 Reviews/Video thread
Figured it might be handy to isolate a list of reviews and commentary in one place for easy finding. I'll try and keep and update list in this post. If we don't think this is useful I or someone else can delete it. I won't re-list the pre-release videos here since they will be usurped by real ones in 28 minutes.

Thanks. I'll leave these here as they are near the top but will try and keep up with re-listing the new ones in the top thread for easy finding. I wonder if there is a way I can keep it from showing the preview so the post isn't a mile long :-)

Yes, there is a way to get just the link and no preview. I can delete those old ones...maybe as you say that is better....if you click the share link below the video and just copy the embed link then it will just show up like this:
https://youtu.be/Qa_neV4rysg
I actually prefer seeing the thumbnails so I know which ones I've already seen and don't have to click through to them. Also I can start watching from within FM with no ads and then if there is content I want to see full screen can jump out to full YT page.

If you use this one it will pull only the last hour which should weed out lots of chaff

I got the impression that Mark Galer in the above video referred to TN without mentioning his name 
somewhere at 5:05 or so.

They don't have raw support yet so we're still looking at jpgs. Galer has a gallery on flickr that has NR and sharpening off in the JPGs.

Man, a lot of information to digest but I already pre-ordered anyway. So, it doesn’t matter. Just shut up and take my money, according to Mark Galer

So much info.... Galer has me keeping my preorder though :-) He seems to really like the eye AF in all situations. I am hoping someone will post some recorded viewfinder of BIF soon.
Fro has a really cool sequence at 30FPS that he scrolls through in lightroom and its just a movie.....
He also has some really good examples of eye AF for humans at around 25minutes
