are you purposefully misunderstanding what i say? i meant the external recording to proprietary media, for one, i don't think you can go to any local electronics store and buy the DJI SSD straight off the shelf. and considering the fact that the DJI SSD doesn't come with the product, for two. not at least on the 6k. it's standard on the 8k version though. if you want it after the fact, you have to shell out 169€ for the SSD mount and 749€ for the 1TB PROSSD.

For a moment I had buyer's remorse that I finally picked up a Fujifilm X-M5 as my new EDC recently because I'd have loved this camera instead... but then I saw the price. They position it as direct competition to the Leica Q series. I'd rather get an A7C II at that point and buy a whole bunch of lenses with the left over money. Now the screen has higher resolution (than FX2) but won't even tilt? The feature sets on the newly releasing cameras are so disjointed.

!

$1 for a license is a big caveat? It's still capable of it actually internally, just only to their special media. Why? Probably because they like money, but they'd probably say that CF express cards were overheating and dropping frames in their testing, just like why BMD made their own special media for the UC 12K.

While looking to see what was on the Deal Zone today, I noticed this banner on B&H. RX1R III announced. 61 megapixel sensor 35mm f/2 lens (probably the same excellent one that was in the previous RX1R series cameras) 10-bit 4kp30 video, or 8-bit 120fps in full hd ISO 100-32000 Support for user LUTs Multi-function shoe NP-FW50 battery (big improvement over older ones) Body design seems to be an evolution over the old one, looks nice Has an EVF, but the LCD is fixed USB-C charging, shitty micro HDMI port Price is a mere $5,100. Most people have about that much in spare change between the couch cushions these days so it should be a big seller. Will it overheat? Only time will tell. The video specs are ho-hum enough that it might not. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/photography/news/sony-revives-its-pocket-powerhouse-with-rx1r-iii-digital-camera

i expose using the native waveform in the Ninja V to see when the original RAW signal gets clipped. the camera display has the "rec709" look in it and the monitor tells me when the ACTUAL signal is clipping.

what's the goal in the conversion though? Pr Pro and Resolve handles them just fine.

I have a sirui in 24mm mft. I quite like it. when i first looked at it on youtube they were preproduction models i believe. I thought the flares might be a bit to much, however after buying it, i find the flares not to be too overpowering. I suspect either sirui toned them down or perhaps or youtubers sought out the absolute brightest lights to test on, which may not have been in the lenses best interests. Be interesting to see how your anamorphic adapter behaves. It was prime day everywhere wasn't it ? may not have been just us aussies... btw i like your room light. I have been setting up a black velvet curtain and i have some fairy lights to do some bokeh experiments with. If i can find something similar it might make it in as a foreground object.

yeah, besides those two big caveats... and it WAS capable of PRR actually internally though.

Yup. Curren Sheldon bought one to pair with his R4D 8K for the documentary he's working on right now and (in general) he seems really happy with it. And even if your octopus has 7 of 8 limbs removed, it's better in a lot of ways than the other one. The S1R II does all sorts of things that the R4D doesn't - from open gate mode to recording raw to inexpensive (compared to ProSSD!) CF Express cards to much better control of codecs (R4D insists on ProRes RAW HQ (c'mon) and I think insists on ProRes 422 HQ if you choose ProRes. Oh, and to use lenses that weigh more than about 700g.

99% of the people on YouTube cannot be called 'creators' unless the word is applied after the word 'content' and that followed with, 'for the sake of' and more often than not, proceeded by the word 'banal'. An endless stream of copycats with very little originality. It does exist (originality) but there isn't very much.

Yes, I noticed it too, but as it was just a quick test I didn't bother. It's just from the jpg compression so I'm not having to upload 8.5MB per image (yes, really!). I'll watch for it on the next batch 🙂 I got an email from Sirui Australia that shipping on my anamorphic adapter is delayed due to the Amazon Prime Day sales, so I'm guessing that lots of Aussies must have sent some money their way.

know this, your not alone... it was a fad and a bad fad at that. Sad it is, that creators haven't learnt anything as it still continues... if we judge humanity by our youtube creators you'd have to say humanity is doomed. When i want to see a genuine shocked face, i go watch some thing from styropyro he is always good value.

I see lots of banding in your images kye, i hope its mot just me lol. i presume that's from the jpg setting. I used to get banding from jpegs when i used them in timelapses till i learned better. Can you maybe up the jpeg quality a notch ? I know their only test shots, however i kinda feel the banding is hindering the visual aspect abit.

And the industry is fairly confident it's the same sensor in the S1Rii, so I have exactly the same thing, albeit just like an octopus that has had 7 of its 8 limbs removed. Kind of...

I think it will come in a firmware upgrade. Or from Santa Claus at Christmas if I'm a really good boy for the rest of the year. I'm sure of it.

It has ProRes RAW internally. You have to pay $1 for a license to turn it on and you need to record it to ProSSD.

this. maybe it's something everyone needs to experience firsthand. i thought that i would buy these vintage or modern cinema lenses with character and take these epic shots with them but just focusing on keeping the camera steady and trying to use focus wheel feels makes me switch to my first party AF lenses. i was recently going through some stuff that i shot and with a simple grade the footage was really filmic lol.

that's true. maybe i'm just a balls-to-the-wall type of guy. if i see me not needing to edit the footage extensively i switch out from NRAW to H265. but it's still kind of a bummer that they had the ProRes RAW internally but patched it out. especially how cheap fast CFxB cards have become, for one DJI SSD's price you could get 2 or even a 4TB model of CFX. and it would be that big of a hassle.

ProRes 422 is a nice codec. Many people probably buy and use this camera and never miss raw.

I think it is possible to convert CRM to DNG according to these sources. Apparently it’s similar to CR3 raw files.

wow, so i was way off lol. that's another thing i don't recall hearing these caveats when i was looking at the reviews for this.

If you want to record in the high-quality modes (PRR or 4444XQ), you need to use their ProSSD which is $800 for 1TB. At such a price, you might think that it would be an incredibly high-performing SSD. You'd be wrong. It's a mediocre USB-C SSD with a magic chip that tells the camera to use it. At this point, you might think you'll find a way to buy one and then swap the 1TB disk inside it for a 2TB or 4TB one. It is, after all, an NVMe SSD inside (if I remember right). You'd be wrong again. Someone tried this and even though the camera recorded to it without complaint, the files all came out unusable. Without the ProSSD adapter, the camera natively takes CF Express Type B. I'm not sure, but I think it can record over USB-C to an SSD. Both of these options will be limited to H.264 or ProRes 422.

Only 7.1k? Better just stay home then. Everybody knows that it's a waste of time to shoot anything less than 7.2k. 😉
