PS yet to you @kye... these toys must be seen as complementary tools, no other because it is what they are. Specialty capture devices. They don't replace anything but they can help when others don't or cannot. The point is to know if they are ready to couple with or not yet. I think they can do the trick already even though when they don't excel. Fair is fair : ) I haven't found replace for my One X2 either. Just 100% of the cases, no footage to use. I think this time the thing has reached a different level, not the optimal nor the sweet spot but enough to get the job done when needed under strict control, obviously :- ) -
I don't doubt, mate, no worries @kye I understand you and even fully concur your concern for sure, well seen and said : ) However, what puzzles me is what I've seen it from these devices. There are surely limitations but looks like they actually shine for what they are. I usually divide between usable and unusable. This time 8K and 4K 100fps acquisition seem to me fairly usable under certain circumstances not for delivery at same resolution, of course ; ) When before only for internal consumption aka no professional use at all, no resolution is able to save the grace, as matter of fact :- )

I actually prefer HLG to a standard LOG profile. The reason is that HLG has rec709 levels of saturation and the main part of the image (everything below about 50%) and so when turning the image back into a 709 image from HLG you're not stretching out tiny differences in a flat LOG profile. The disadvantage of HLG in this sense would be the clipping of colours, but HLG retains the full DR of the camera so it will only clip on very very saturated colours and those will mostly be clipped due to being too hot (e.g. tail-lights) which would be clipped either way.

Don't get me wrong, I WANT these things to be good. If they could make a 360 camera that was high-quality enough then it would be useful for filming in very busy situations and you could crop out the interesting moments in post. The issue is that even if they had 27K resolution, the fact they only have 200Mbps means that any crop that isn't an extreme wide angle just isn't good enough. I mean, 12Mbps of h265 is similar to 24Mbps of h264, but seriously... imagine that someone released a camera in 2024 that was 24Mbps! ....and if you want a camera angle tighter than that? You're practically pixel-peeping. I'm not even asking for much - V90 SD cards are common these days and they can write at 720Mbps. Having an EXTREME PRO mode in the camera that has a maxed out bitrate wouldn't be that hard - these things are premium products.
