This is why the Canon R5c can test relative poorly in raw yet approach very close to 13 stops with some noise reduction applied (in camera) and downsampled from 8k, which Gerald showed this in his review. Of course, dynamic range isn’t the same as highlight roll off, in which the R5c is better than the FX3/A7s3 because it allocates more stops in the highlights. But it comes at a cost of a lack of latitude in the shadows, like the Panasonic s5iix. The sigma fp and red Komodo are the opposite, so you have to really protect the highlights. None of this really matters if you understand your camera and exposure strategy. The Sonys and Canon c70 are balanced in their latitude, which can be better for doc work and run & gun.

Wow. Industry disrupting actually. Nikon stole the competitive advantage of Red’s ridiculous patent. I’m wondering how fast they can implement this—how much time I have to liquidate my canon gear.

This needs to be 16mm

Rode is a prosumer company.

I get it. Never getting rid of my 5D iii

Ah the ol’ reach around from down under

They need to ditch this ridiculous "pocket" design. I hope they release an updated 4K version of the real pocket camera. Also, a Komodo-like, modular box design w/ built in NDs. 6-8K. I don't expect autofocus or any cutting edge technology, but they can make these relatively simple changes.

Would be interested in how the image stabilization is on non native lenses, i.e., EF lenses with and without optical stab.

Looks like DJI is releasing a RS3 Mini

What windmills are you aiming at? I just said some camera designs are butt ugly. It’s an opinion. Enjoy being a martyr about nothing. Nobody cares.

You know there’s a design team for these cameras? For your laptop? Nevermind, you probably have a Dell

Man, Panasonic and Sony cameras are just butt ugly (aside from FX-3)

I like this. Apple might be completely offloading FCP resources to Blackmagic. Resolve is industry standard. Apple's path to continued growth is cloud and digital services, and I can see Resolve becoming a subscription service for pro users, packaged with cloud storage from Apple. They worked together before with the BM eGPU, and I think it's a sign that they have been working together behind the scenes. It makes sense for Apple and Blackmagic to collaborate on a large sensor camera with the most efficient workflow from acquisition to delivery, equipping the masses with professional tools for content creation. The studio film industry will justify itself with $100K Arris, but for everybody else? Somebody will come for Canon, Sony and even Red's lunch. Throughout the backdoor.

Let’s not get carried away, if production gets to that level, the fx3 will be used, not the fx30. It doesn’t matter what the marketing lit says, no real production would ever use the fx30 over the fx3 because the cost difference is nothing compared to the compromises. Sony is diluting their cinema line to sell more cameras to influencers and casuals. So what? Not sure what you’re getting worked up over. Canon has been doing the opposite for decades. Just get the camera that’s right for you.
