  1. This looks like it was shot on film (16mm color negative Kodak Vision stock) - you can't replicate this fully, only simulate it with plugins like FilmConvert or LUTs like Visioncolor Impulz.
  2. It is not about compatibility, but better image quality. (Better sharpness, less CA with a Speed Booster optimized for a specific camera's filter stack.)
  3. There are many situations in which you need IR filtration on the BMPCC even without ND filters - a scene filmed in bright sunlight or with non-LED light can be enough. You can easily test it by filming some black synthetic fabric, such as a sports bag, and see whether it turns out brownish-magenta on the footage. In that respect, BM cameras are a lot like older digital Leicas and like RED cameras. More aggressive in-camera IR filtering also means less color resolution/fidelity in the red spectrum, this is why pro cameras often have weaker IR filters.
  4. Blackmagic already answered in its Q&A (reposted here in this thread some dozen of pages ago) that the Pocket 4K will have the same IR filtration requirements as previous BM cameras, so we can expect a thinner filter stack.
  5. I'm eagerly waiting for the 4K video feature to trickle down to the rest of Canon's EOS-M line, most importantly the successor of the EOS-M100. That camera is one of the most compact APS-C bodies ever made, barely larger than the (discontinued) Panasonic GM series, and a killer street photography/always-with-you camera in combination with the 22.5mm/f2 pancake lens.
  6. Seems that the embedded Vimeo video is not playing everywhere - is it geoblocked?
  7. Features like dual pixel autofocus and in-body stabilization will not come from small/non-mainstream manufacturers like Blackmagic any time soon, because they are highly proprietary, patented technology to which only major companies have access.
  8. Another point is that it's much easier (and cheaper) to build FF lenses that perform decently wide open while the Voigts and comparable MFT lenses are almost unusable at f0.95.
  9. There are no c-mount lenses that can resolve 4K - most don't even resolve HD.
  10. Is Super Scale a new feature in Resolve 15? I can't find it in 14.
  11. It's very simple - Yongnuo already produces a whole series of EF mount lenses. Conversely, MFT is an open standard and sensors are probably either to source. So they just combine the two technologies that are most easily available to them, even if it technologically doesn't make so much sense. Wouldn't be surprised if this camera would be sold for under $200, maybe even only $100, given Yongnuo's aggressive pricing.
  12. The Panaleica lenses are neither Leica-made nor (in most cases) Leica-designed, but Panasonic lenses with a Leica brand license and quality certification. It's very likely that this lens design cannot be made an interchangeable lens because it probably has a shorter flange mount distance than MFT (which helps achieving larger apertures in a compact design). Plus, the lens heavily relies on software corrections. Its f1.7-2.8 aperture corresponds to a much lower transmission value if you look at the pure optical image without software vignetting correction.
  13. Sorry, Jon, I can sometimes be acidic. The respect is mutual.
  14. Whatever gave you the idea that I was responding to you at all? You relate comments to yourself that were not directed at you. I didn't even reply to you or quote you. Let me say it loud and clear: Your behavior on this forum is increasingly aggressive and narcissistic. You should consider taking a break as a moderator. - And yes, Vimeo uses adaptive streaming. If you have a poor connection, the video image will have poor resolution.
  15. You can also record ultra-crisp video with it if you prefer that look. It's just a matter of how you post-process the raw image.
  16. For stock footage, a RAW video camera really makes sense, because it makes your footage future-proof for codecs and standards that may not exist yet. For example, if you bought a Blackmagic Cinema Camera in 2012 and backed up your camera files from that time, it would be no problem to render the footage as HDR video today.
  17. @Anaconda_ How should a 4K s16 crop work on a 4K sensor? If my math doesn't fail me, a s16 crop (equivalent to the sensor size of the old Pocket) should result in a 2.7K image.
  18. It runs fine, and has the same functionality, but is difficult to install on distributions other than CentOS/Red Hat Enterprise. There's no h264 rendering, which is not a big deal since it's better to export to a high-end codec (such DNxHR) and use ffmpeg to transcode that into h264. Best go to Blackmagic's user forum where there is a long thread on Resolve's Linux install issues that also contains other useful information. (Such as scripts that repackage Resolve for Ubuntu/Debian etc.)
  19. It's simply logic: If you downsample the video signal, you can reduce or eliminate moiré through clever processing. If you read out the sensor 1:1, moiré will stay. (Blackmagic's cameras always been have a good example for this.) So it makes sense to put an OLPF in front of such a native 4K sensor. And you see where Blackmagic is cutting costs.
  20. Canon won't do that - they develop and manufacture their own sensors. It's part of the reason why they are so profitable. (And part of the reason why their camera specs are behind everyone who uses Sony sensors.)
  21. Yes, but most of the Magic Lantern raw video modes work with sensor crop, so you'd lose the full frame look...
  22. The Sony IMX294 is no better, but actually worse than the APS-C sensors Sony built into the a6300/6500 and the full frame sensors used in the A7 series. The a6300/6500 sensor has higher resolution, is better in low light and even has triple native ISO (as some people have found out by analyzing its RAW stills). If you use dpreview's camera comparison tool, then the RAW stills of the GH5s are clearly behind the RAW stills of the a6300/6500, although those cameras are a couple of years older. The only difference Blackmagic really makes is that its cameras record the sensor signal in RAW, which can make a huge difference for the quality of the final video image if you use highest-quality debayering, denoising and color correction in post (as opposed to a quick-and-dirty, low-quality, high-compression pipeline in-camera).
  23. The absolutely cheapest way to shoot video with full-frame look is to buy a used Sony NEX-5N body for $200; an off-brand Speed Booster/focal reducer for E-mount (for example with Nikon baynoet) for $70; a second-hand, vintage, manual focus 50mm/1.8 DSLR lens for no more than $50. I actually have these lying around and could shoot a test video just for the fun of it.
