ND64

This name screams "consumer". You just don't replace "pro" with "my" if you're targeting professional shooters. But nothing is impossible with Panasonic marketing team. However ditching Lumix brand is bigger mistake. Unlike Canon/Nikon and even Sony, their customer base are 80% video 20% still users, and all of them call their cameras Lumix. But marketing aside, they're facing a economic challenge they exacerbated themselves with not being fully committed to low budget segment of the market. The reality is pro folks don't upgrade their tools very often. You need enthusiasts/younger generations to keep the cash flow. But they just updating the high end full frame cameras. M4/3 is perceived as dead. L mount APSC is nowhere to be seen. LX compact in GX7 resurrection era? None.

Heat management is like Canon wants you to buy C50 instead And RAW file size situation is not different from ZR

Its equivalent of Nikon and Canon announce they are closing down their NPS and CPS service. Sport shooters, photo journalists, news agencies, would panic. But Panasonic has no dog in that fight, and probably just gave up.

Didn't know A7siii has this saturation issue

Pixel binned raw 4k120 of ZR has the same amount of details of FX3, if not more, which is a native 4k sensor

Its just a name, probably because the guy who made that believes it works like EL. True EL Zone needs license from its patent holder. Yea, I use the app and some videos have English subtitles. The strange thing is there is no real ISO at 400. With log video, ISO 800 is the same as ISO 100 in still mode. There is lower ISO below 100 in still mode but they're known as fake ISOs. For example ISO 50 has the same amplification as ISO 100, but fools you to give the sensor one stop more light.

The difference is noticeable even by looking at the image Thats funny to be honest Even colors are different I think Davinci is responsible for all this.

I found a false color LUT for ZR in a chinese forum. It was on a Chinese cloud host unavailable for foreigners, so I got it and uploaded to jotta: https://jottacloud.com/s/433167a024c75694baa94438259ee5d1b8e

The reason people don't see the difference reported with chart tests in real life is the saturation limit of modern sensors, and they're all in the same ballpark. Improvements are mostly in the readout noise, which is good to have, but nobody lifts the shadows more than one, or in rare cases two stops, anyway. I don't blame CineD for reporting 10 stops, as its what they professionally do and they have to be consistent. But calling it an "average" camera was personal, for whatever reason. Average between what and what? But its not just a CineD thing. I sometimes doom scroll Chinese social networks and there are also some video shooters over there who sounds angry that this camera exists! Which is crazy.

No. For now its only Flexible Picture Controls. Yes, but only with non NLOG profiles, like Flat and Standard. NLOG has a bug, or they deliberately added more NR with log profile. With YouTube compression, its not noticeable tho. You can just wait to see how the firmware update turns out.

You sure its Alexa? Here is ZR 4k120 in super35 crop for comparison

The best test so far

Michelle Wai is advertising ZR? Its a first for Nikon https://bilibili.com/video/BV1PGs7zvEXu

It is, but when exposed 2 stop ETTR. The NR is not fixed, and changes with S/N ratio, apparently.

Canon does nothing, or at least none of the above, and own 50% of the market. Just because of this global perception that the red brand is the Toyota of camera industry. Perception is key when it comes to business.
