    • Yeah, nice images! What I have learned in all my research is that there are tiny little sweet-spots in every aspect of the image.  People lust after OLPF filters with just the right amount of softening, people marvel at skin tones with just the right amount of compression and hue manipulation, or lenses with just the right amount of distortion. Each of these imperfections / distortions / non-linearities has a certain feeling and aesthetic and comes with a range of associations.  Combinations of these will have synergies, or won't, or will clash by pulling in different directions. When we moved from cameras that shot in the publishing resolution and recorded colour in the publishing colour space and gamma to cameras that had higher resolutions and log colour spaces etc, we went from looking at the image that professional imaging scientists tuned into a final commercial product to taking an image that was designed to be manipulated and then applying our own (likely far less skilful) texture, colour, contrast, etc. It's taken me a good decade to start reliably getting images I like, and even then, I'm using a film emulation plugin that is doing most of the heavy lifting.
    • All that's true, but, honestly,  I just always liked the image coming out of the GX7 better than the GH5.  One's 1080 one's 4k, but ... something about that GX7 sensor. It's a damn old camera and this is a tangent from the OP, but did anybody ever figure out what was the secret sauce from that era of M43 LUMIX?  I don''t think I imagined it. 😉 I mean, I look at stuff I did over a decade ago and still think, "shoot, that particular 1080 has a certain quality I like better than things I've done recently."  For instance, from 2014:   
    • Not quite.  It's announced, but not available yet, last I checked - unless the latest Resolve 21 beta included it. Though if there's really something to inclusion of additional near-infrared wavelengths making the subtle difference for skin tones is true and if BMD's ir cut filter removes that wavelength, there would always be at least some difference. That said, a lot of the way that guy describes things remind me of someone explaining why they think their $4,000 toslink cable is giving richer midtones than someone else's $30 toslink cable.  There seems to be a mix of some genuine understanding of things mixed in with pseudo-scientific bullshit. Regardless, even if were all 100% true and based in pure science, a decent colorist is a big equalizer for a bunch of differences in the SOOC image.  😅
