A Chinese Weibo user who knows Sony Semi stuff said they developed a 5k sensor with 14bit readout and DCG, for next gen A7S/FX3; and the next day this rumor appeared. Probably somebody thought its perfect for S1Hii. The only thing certain about this sensor is that it's expensive.

There is this conspiracy theory that its a damage control campaign by Sony, which I don't agree with. Sony's position is strong enough to not bother at all. But YouTubers shouldn't behave in a way to make it easy for conspiracy theorists. I mean they all made it about FX3 since day one. They didn't even mention that S9 IBIS works better than ZR, or S1ii extract higher DR from the same sensor, or what about Canon? Nobody made a comparison with any EOS. When they all talk about just one brand and one specific model of that brand, which is not even in the same price segment, some people may get suspicious.

The h.265 itself is not the problem. Its that you can't turn off the NR with h.265, and in low light its too much. Nikon didn't change this even after all firmware updates they did for Z9/Z8/Z6III, so its safe to say its not going to happen with Expeed 7. Probably because power consumption will be noticeably higher if the encoder has to compress noisy image. 

Among all the firmware requests by YouTubers and RED shooters, this one was almost out of the radar. Which tells me is an indirect response to whining about raw file sizes. Which means an internal lower bitrate R3D NE became even less likely.

I think C70 will still have more latitude to play with. But honestly people are way too much obsessed with these numbers. Past 12 stop, we either digging for random shot noise, or struggle to defeat sun. This shot by Roger Deakins would be rejected by YouTubers, in their mission impossible of saving highlights:

 

Lets acknowledge that ProResRAW is a shitty codec.

Size comparison site updated their list.
ZR vs. FX3

ZR vs. S9

And C50

lol

Is it just me or ZR skin tone is more like Arri than RED Komodo X 🤭

Canon managed to make a slower sensor than ZR sensor, twice the price, with less DR.

If you ask why they don't add another hole to make it more secure on tripod, here is your answer. Its bottom of Z6iii. There is no room for another one lol

Not trying to jump into your apparently long discussion, but EXACT look of Full Frame can be achieved on M43, but you need faster lens, and once you go that fast, the lens becomes so big and heavy that the size advantage of the M43 format loses its relevance at that point. But the difference between 44mm wide sensor and 36mm wide sensor is far less than FF and M43. Its basically f/1.2 vs. f/1.4. And at the same time, lens makers of the two systems went opposite direction. FF lenses are now bigger and faster than 44mm MF lenses, cause FF systems want to differentiate themselves from low end cameras, even at the expense of size/weight, while MF systems want to break the collective mindset that MF=Bulky/Inconvenient. 

Really funny indeed, it seems with long takes the only way to trim and save only important parts of footage is through Resolve’s Media management. Tried to rename clips to R3D first in CFExpress, but exporting trimmed parts from Resolve did not work. 
Compared one old clip and other than R3D’s chroma NR there was not much difference to NEV. Have to test this more with clips that are saved straight from card as NEV. 

It would be funny if turns out RED and Nikon couldn't push Davinci developers to address the issue with nraw rendering and decided to fix it themselves by a metadata trick. 

No translation, but you don't need to.
 

Yea, and I suggested considering NRAW normal as R3S LQ. But you have to be careful about base ISOs.

The fact that NRAW High bitrate is exactly same as R3D NE, could be a hint

In Z6iii, normal quality NRAW for 6k24p is only 750mbs. Import the file in CineX Pro, and rename the .NEV extension to .R3D, then select log3g10. Thats your REDCODE LQ.
