Yeah the OG2K is pretty good. It's clean with a nice texture that was lacking in the original firmware... Quick shot after the sun set. Minolta MD 35mm 1.8...

So I was also able to get the OG3.5K to record to SD card which is crazy. But it isn't really practical since I'd only get about 10 minutes per 128gb v90 card. Anyway, here's a frame from that mode, if anyone is interested...

Best I can currently see on offer for you is Doom on the Hasselblad X2D 100C…. The guy who showed that running recently has been very busy and is coaxing video recording from it. This is amongst a raft of other research he has been doing on feature extensions and documenting in his GitHub. https://github.com/radium-wang/Hasselblad-X-System-CIM-Firmware-Research-Feature-Extensions The pace at which he is doing this is quite something but it’s obviously uncertain on a timeframe of getting all this ready for prime time. These experiments also work on the “For God’s sake don’t pick it up in a shop or you’ll have to buy it” object of beauty that is the 907X/CFV100C

I spent my recent vacation shooting the OG2K and S16 modes without an external drive and its amazing. This hack is a real game changer for a long time fp user like me. Gyrodata, lossless compression, 1 to 1 pixel readout at FHD and Open Gate. Really all I ever wished for... Finally I can run & gun all my manual lenses and don't have to rely on the stabilised 28-200. My fp was already up on ebay because i switched to the fp L but luckily nobody bought it. I was ready to switch to the fp L for the gorgeous photos and clean FHD but now the fp has the latter aswell plus that mind blowing Gyro magic. If someone enables Gyrodata on the fp L I might reconsider but for now I'm just happily running both (lowercase) fp's. No need to go all caps FP for quite some time.

I previously said that the new Sigma FP 2 fell short for me in a single area, the lack of IBIS. But I was wrong. It also lacks Commando that I used to have on the Commodore 64. #thetightarsetwats

Well, I guess it's too late to get the ILS- sold out everywhere it seems! Who saw that coming? Some interesting comparisons with WAY bigger and more expensive cameras are out there now. Obviously YouTube footage. I wish he'd don it in 4k 24fps or 8k 24fps. To my eye, the GoPro is heavily dependent on lens. The Sony looks super digital to me, but maybe it's the fact it's at 60fps. Is it possible that the GoPro takes off some of that ultra digital look but leaves the detail? Maybe it's simply a sensor size thing?

Yeah I’m hoping the FP-L isn’t far behind and we can get some of these great features on the “budget Q3”.

I have FPsup running on my FP now and it was pretty painless. I hadn't upgraded the FW to 5.02 yet, so I had to do that first and then went to their GitHub and checked the features I wanted, and it compiled the code and I downloaded it. Unzipped the files, placed them onto the root of my SD card and popped it in... Sure enough it worked... my FP can now shoot OG2K, OG3K and S16. An initial test at home went smoothly. I was even able to get 30 seconds of OG3K recorded to the SD card for 30 seconds before I stopped it. It was a static shot, so I assume that helped. Gonna head out today and see what some movement will do on a busier shot. I'm really interested in the 3.5K in 2:1 but I assume I'll have to use an SSD for that. As far as the FP-L, I assume someone will work on it. The Dev isn't planning to do it, but he kinda pointed people in the right direction.

I'll surely love the camera if Sigma sends one my way to test ... and keep.

I’m curious about with it sharing the same sensor flavour if not THE same exact one as the a7cr what could potentially be coaxed out of it. Sigma have lost me a bit with the FP2 but I’ve always had a hankering for the FP-L as a mini Leica Q3 with it bonus video features over the FP in terms of PDAF and a small crop mode which @Andrew - EOSHDraves about for a very clean image. The used prices are now heading to £1000 so it wouldn’t take much to persuade me that that was the upgrade path for me * I’d get to keep my EVF as well. * Obviously as a crazed addict I’d keep the original too.
