Yeah, might work. It depends if you want the look of Alexa 65 or the 8K / 12k resolution as well. If you just want the look, then the ground glass would work or even a medium format Speed Booster for Pentax 645 to Sony full frame E-mount.

Wonderful video. I'll probably subscribe to his channel. How about this for a future trick - Project the medium format lens onto ground glass and behind that put two vertical GH5S in 4:3 side by side. One can capture the full height and half the width of the left side of the image and one can do the same but for the right side. Merge in post for 8K medium format!? Sliding the camera along like his rig was a great experiment in the lab and result was beautiful, but tricky to use for anything that moves. Oh and by the way - his vintage projector is a thing of beauty isn't it!?

Yes it does work with an external recorder as well. But the quality internally is so good with it, I wouldn't bother with one. On the Z6 you already have N-LOG for HDMI. This is more for internal recording when you don't want to bother with the hassle and wobbly HDMI cable.

You should try writing an email right now to a rumours site with anything at all in it. They'd probably publish it. Then I'd comment on it here like it's fact.

Same manual WB on both these shots. Different colour science, sensor, processing and codec.

HAHAHHAHA

I have been burned before by a clickbait writer slapping something up on DPReview because it has a buzzword in the title. They publicised a Kickstarter campaign for a high speed camera which had WAY more credibility than this but it led to a £1000 loss for me.

It doesn't. You just take the battery door off.

The image quality is impressive. Download the original files from the main page

Z-LOG is an in-camera LOG profile for video shooting on the Nikon Z7 and Z6 mirrorless cameras, and most Nikon DSLRs. Available now

Yet again they gave it to someone else!!

For me even the way the RAW files look on default Photoshop (ACR) settings is a factor in my decision to like that camera or find it a completely pain in the ass. Leica M9 for instance - bang. Perfect. Barely need to touch the RAWs in Adobe Camera Raw. Sony Raw - eh. Honestly most photographers do simple changes. Contrast, curve maybe, saturation, that's about it. They don't go fine tuning individual hues or luma / sat curves and mess with advanced colour channel settings or profiles. They just want it quick and easy. For me it is a complete mystery why the manufacturers cannot grasp this simple point! Sony's RAW files look so flat when you open them. It's another stupid default setting decision. Stephen is right above - that the colour science is now in the software and not the camera, apart from the fact you are seeing raw sensor data - so it's representative of the hardware in that sense. And he is definitely bang on the money to say Tony throwing video into his RAW colour science (actually just a white balance test) is total nonsense and misleading bullshit.

I think you may have started a new meme @BTM_Pix

Seen it before. Part of the problem with Sony is that their colour matches a chart but looks clinical on real-world subjects. We are talking about video by the way, not RAW where the colour processing is in post. In warm sunlight, the Sony too often looks dead. Canon 1D X JPEG: Sony A7S II JPEG: On some screens this will vary. The Canon might look like it has too much magenta and red in the skin tones. That's the display that's at fault or the browser, not the camera file. The Sony looks dead no matter what you view it on

Just a quick test. Big difference!!

I am getting more and more used to Resolve for editing. Closer than ever before to switching. Using Resolve 15 Studio. It came with a free Pocket 4K!

I've had this before as well! Turned out to be one browser was showing it according to the Display profile in Mac OS and the other one was using SRGB or doing it's own thing. At the time I had an LG 4K monitor and when I changed the monitor colour mode in the LG monitor menus to match Mac OS the problem went away and both browsers were the same. A lot of people do see colour differences between computers and that's why it causes so many arguments about camera colour!

The entire core product is probably secondary to marketing. They probably have 10x the number of branding and marketing or PR staff than people working in technical, design and creative positions. The core product will go to shit at some point and all their customers will use something better, from a hungry rival. And Adobe will be dead.

I was tweeted at by a programmer / tech guy on the Premiere team the other month and his Twitter feed is full of him trying out Resolve himself!! He was criticising it at one point, but someone corrected him and it turned out to be user error. In other tweets he's being pretty clueless as well. I think sometimes there is a lack of common sense in the tech teams, coupled with a lack of oversight from the management. Premiere is not release-worthy and every year it is the same. Appalling reliability and clearly they are getting heat for it not just from normal customers but from big customers and institutions.... otherwise they wouldn't need to put out propaganda and have Johnnie salivating all over them.

A CEO says "failing often can be empowering" because they are never the ones to get the brunt of the consequences and can always continue their career somewhere else high-paid. I think it's almost like a spoilt child who doesn't care what toys they break as they immediately get a replacement! She's shafting us who rely on Vimeo for work, and at the same time is immune herself to the controversy. Living in some kind of bubble. It's the highest form of entitlement and late stage capitalism.

Yeah impressive. Especially considering how heavy the BMCC 2.5K used to be and the URSAs!

The Cinema5D videos are almost all ripe for parody... Where's that laughing Spanish man when you need him!?

Yes but the conclusion of the video I have a problem with. It's simply wrong. Sony's colour science is according to the video far better and a crowd pleaser, vs the competition like Canon, Nikon and Fuji. I know from my own eyes this is simply bollocks. Yes changing WB makes people change their mind on what is the best image, no shit! This is just filmmaking basics. Speaking not of white balance settings on the camera for a moment but looking at it creatively, Game of Thrones has a cool palette, other shows have a warm grade, and so on... It is supposed to match the scene and the content. In cases where a warmer look is necessary like in natural light to maintain the ambience of incandescent light, the Sony fell flat. You have no idea how many months I spent correcting this with custom WB presets in EOSHD Pro Colour and special colour settings to overcome Sony's sterile white balance handling and poor handling of ambience. Yes movies have strong colour grading, who'd have thought?! That's all part of the creative process. We are not talking about lab technicians. They are professional colourists. All this matters a lot. So the debate on colour science is not overrated. I don't agree with Tony's conclusion - either the outcome of the vote, or the underlying "colour science doesn't matter, and it's easy to change with a click of a button" bullshit. No, a lot of people want straight out of the camera satisfaction and they don't have the time nor the skillset to go off and do advanced colour correction. That's just us, who can afford the time to "correct every shot". It's pretty glib of Tony saying, if you don't like Sony's colour "just change it" (I guess the raw stills he is referring to) For a start it is not RAW when it comes to video. It's baked into the H.264 files. Even if you shoot S-LOG, S-Gamut is baked in and comes out in the grade. People have spent hours trying to get S-Gamut in post to look the way they want. I don't think Tony has even ever graded S-LOG? So how can he suddenly be an authority on colour science? You guys need to get off YOUTUBE. Put the tablets away.
