FX3 ended up as both elixir and poison for Sony. It established E mount as go-to choice for professional video, and at the same time became the benchmark of "good enough". They will update it with a super fast sensor (either a 6k120 from 12k, or 5k240 from a 67MP sensor with dual gain HDR, both available next year), but that makes it a $5000 camera, then FX3 wins again with just being cheaper.

Like other picture profiles provided by Nikon, it would be way better at 50% intensity. But I don't think you can change that with these recipes. How can someone submit their recipes for Nikon Cloud? I like to see EOSHD in that list.

One of them leaked the script of Witkoff's negotiations with the Russian guy. Another one, an admiral, questioned orders and forced to resign. The problem is there won't be enough of them, because unlike Hollywood scenarios, you need more than few heros to save the country from fascists, it needs uprising by millions of people (tho I don't believe these clowns are fascist. They're too dumb to stick with a particular ideology).

So it uses the dual gain HDR in mechanical shutter mode just like S1ii to achieve 15 stops. But noise reduction applied on all ISOs. Panasonic got the same DR but without NR, thanks to its lower resolution/bigger pixels maybe We still see the Japanese stubbornness dealing with ISO. Even with extremely low read out noise at base ISO, they don't apply it as metadata-only settings to let the software increase the brightness digitally to save the highlights at higher ISO. The sensor is ultra clean yet you lose 3 stops of potential highlight recovery at ISO 1600.

And the lastest and greatest

It's the same "Canon makes better skin tones" superstition among photographers while we could get whatever skin tones we wanted with raw files all these years, but this time among videographers. Now convenience is part of the color science tho. If the image is just two clicks away from their perception of pleasing colors, means the camera produces great colors.

Somebody discovered the h.265 softness issue is a variable bitrate bug. With Nlog its too low. It should be 320Mb/s but its 32Mb/s. They forgot a zero 🙂

At the moment the best lens to body ratio in the market is like 1.7, and a lot of that is standing on the shoulder of kit lenses. Having third party option is good, but majority of people don't buy many lenses to begin with.

Horrible line skipping in Full HD. Pleasing noise in Angle of View Priority mode.

Compared to A7IV

Thats scary response. But I hope its due to another half baked firmware, like the one they released for A7IV.

Meanwhile Sony dropped the price of FX2 in China and now its only $2350. A7V is $2550.

I think its related to the IP behind partially stacked tech. People believe just because Sony Semi makes the sensor, they own all the IP, but its not true. At the moment there are three flavor of this tech, Nikon has the fastest one, Panasonic owns the one with highest DR, and Sony uses a version between those two. And maybe they have no license to use the best one in a video oriented body, yet.

Yea, its 13.5 stops after 7k>4k oversampling and AI processing. Pixel level DR should be 12 ish.

So Apparently A7V is semi stacked but without Z6III DR shortcomings (they would consist in 16 stop in marketing material to say "our semi stacked has no downside", otherwise 16 stop is impossible without NR). Video is 4k60p but 1.5x crop at 4k120.
