Raw from the C100 sensor. Now there's a good idea.   Over to you Canon.

  Nuts.   People need to calm down on the auctions, more money than sense. if they'd waited a week or two they could have bought one for $1600 less on a Buy It Now deal.   Let's not have these hyper inflate to the point where it's no fun any more.

Since Erjot is a new user, do not deal with him unless he can provide full contact details, address, ID and also try and conclude any deals on eBay. Get him to list the item as a Buy It Now and do the transaction on there, with PayPal and their protection.   The forum is not designed to conclude transactions with newbies with no feedback and no posting record so buyer beware.

Who are these mythical advance scouts who have shot with the BMC4K?   What the hell is a hypewave?   Global shutter has a trade off in image quality because it reduces the space for the actual light capturing areas of the sensor, but to me a scout is someone who goes out there in the field and sees it for his own eyes, and nobody has done that yet. Until the camera footage is out there and not some fraud video on YouTube, we won't know what the dynamic range is like.   The hype for dynamic range on Blackmagic's cameras to date has been more than justified. Rather than see the Production Camera as 'hype' why not see it as the CHOICE it really is, between dynamic range on the 2.5K camera and 4K / global shutter on the Production Camera. It's a bit too much to expect 15 stops, global shutter and 4K for $4k. Canon wouldn't give us that for half a million!

The DNGs? They were shot at ISO 800 and if you lift the deep shadows you're getting ISO 3200 and maybe more.   I think I underexposed too much on some shots, trying to match the KineRaw. It's tricky to do.

Moved to Screening Room. Please post links to your work in this sub-forum in future. Cheers

I don't think this is really BMPC footage. Whilst on this subject anyway, I think it is a good idea to mention this:   Asus 4K LCD monitor is here!     http://www.asus.com/News/L9xTPmmMwTlPMq5l

I've uploaded some here. Link to the pack is at the top of the article   http://www.eoshd.com/content/10525/kinefinity-kineraw-review

Mark II. Mark III is cleaner and more detailed, also supports higher resolutions.

That's a pretty good point about storage. For that $300 on CineForm you're saving 90% on storage costs.   7D users...   Next logical step for 7D users I think is to get a 2nd body, a 50D. Then you can use your EFS lenses on it and try out raw, see if it is for you, then if you feel it is working out, later upgrade to the 5D Mark III. There's no point holding out indefinitely for a 7D version of raw recording as the quality is unlikely to be any better than the 50D.

A professional workflow for 5D Mark III raw is now available. GoPro CineForm Raw offers 10:1 compression and can be edited directly in Adobe Premiere and Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve 9. Adobe Cinema DNG brings a Blackmagic Cinema Camera style workflow to the 5D Mark III and is ideal for grading uncompressed raw in DaVinci Resolve.

  1280 x 540 at 60p works fine on 1000x card.

Download the newest version of Raw2DNG and turn caps lock off.

Seems like some very misleading marketing going on with the 1000x+ speeds. I'd ignore and seek out the write speeds. Also if a genuinely good card arrives, it won't be long before someone buys one and tries it, then shares the results - so it pays to wait.

Yes they are graded and exposed to precision. The colour is just flat out better on the 5D 3 at this ISO. It's an extraordinary sensor. Kineraw goes up to ISO 12,800 and is much cleaner than BMCC in terms of noise.

It's impossible to answer such a broad question, you need to tell us what you plan to use the camera for.

  Graded as closely to match as possible - Download the frames as JPEGs - http://we.tl/0DYPaHNkUG   Colour certainly a huge leap from the others on the 5D Mark III at this ISO.   White balance and tint vary wildly between the three.

  Not as good as full frame at high ISOs and yes colour isn't quite as pleasing as Canon but don't agree good results cannot be had with colour and high ISO on GH2.   This is mostly 1600 +   https://vimeo.com/32520456   Advantage of F0.95 helps, thanks to mirrorless mount.   Even ISO 12,800 is beautiful in black & white. Very fine grain.   https://vimeo.com/31835141   GH2 is underrated in low light.

  Good advice.   Don't make a dramatic selling decision until you know the ins and outs of it.
