RED raw was never in the rumored specs. It was "RED tech", whatever it means.

There is no drawback to have IBIS and not using it. 

Car wobble can be prevented by IBIS lock. Most of the heat comes from CPU and CFe cards, not sensor. 

Remember Nikon 1 system? That was also crippled by microSD. Its a Nikon tradition.

While all the rumour sites sites try and flex about who was first with the leak about the C50, this guy is sat there quietly with a TWELVE YEAR lead 😂

Why should it be a issue if you shoot raw? If its raw, the data is there. 

Just keep in mind to get "cool" cfexpress cards. Z8 has no serious overheating issue, unless you put a card that consumes a lot of power. There is huge gap in efficiency between some of these cards that nobody talks about (one of the reasons a reviewer says I got 1 hour and another says only 20 minutes). Angelbird CFe v4 1TB is rated 3.75w, but v2 that is slower is rated 2.4w. v4 sustained write speed is 2100MB/s (insane in such a small package) and v2 is 1300MB/s, meaning you get 60% higher speed for 56% more power consumption, which I don't think a good tradeoff, considering 1300MB/s is already fast enough, and I dont think you take too much 8k60p shots at highest bitrate. 

Serious landscape shooters don't need IBIS, but they improved it to 10 stop! Landscape shooters always shoot raw, but they added HDR Jpeg! Studio shooters shoot in controlled lighting environment, but they added LIDAR that helps in a random dark street! All the improvements, and even pricing, are in the direction of making MF mainstream, not serving the niche, yet it doesn't video, which is the key to become mainstream. 

With the new firmware update released today, view assist now uses RED Technical lut. 

I think that NR was a unavoidable side effect of the algorithm they used to combine the two images.
Right, after ISO 800 (6400 in log profile), there is practically no difference, because both are at their High Gain territory. DR boost only works at Low Gain ISO. 

But Redcode is 16 bit. Overkill for a sensor with 12 stop of DR. And I'm not sure Expeed 7 can handle that.

They didn't use the full potential of that sensor in Z6iii. It can output two images per frame, one at first base ISO and one at second base ISO. Then the processor can combine them to achieve near 14 stop of DR. But as its 2x data, it takes longer to read out, hence the slow read out of S1ii when DR Boost is ON. Either Nikon's Expeed processor isn't capable enough for that task, or they didn't find that rolling shutter effect acceptable, or its a feature that needs premium license they didn't bother to pay. 

The most annoying thing about Justin talking about anything is his tendency to express a point with 8 different senstences. I can easily summarize his ten minutes video into 30 seconds video. 

"Canon doesn't want you to know about this camera"
"This camera changes everything"
"Why I sold all my gears to get this camera"
"Why Hollywood loves cropped 4k"

Now its even a better camera
 

Its not

He doesn't want to ruin his relationship with the brands to the point they don't send him the new cameras twice as good as previous gen. 

I guess their original intention was matching A7iv price but had to release it with baked in tariff inflation.

They released the video 1.5 hours sooner than Sony's own scheduled video.
