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.

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.

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

The Reddit source https://www.reddit.com/r/Nikon/s/v8tkSHdsZa

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

No translation, but you don't need to.

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.

Thats why The Creator shot on FX3 was so surprising for these categorizer youtubers. Many of mirrorless lenses don't cover the image circle of Raptor's VV sensor. But the actual film makers don't care about the vignette and use them anyway. Its not like "You can use Komodo for still photography". Its like these filmmakers recognize these lenses as cine tools.

Mood? I'm just saying we have never seen a cinematic work done by the Undone, and yet he thinks he is the one who defines what cine camera should be.

Gerald is pissed that they call it cine camera, then complain why the only dependable codec of the camera is the one used in cine cameras. Tho I understand for a video shooter who never leave his garage room YouTube studio, the quality of h.265 is important and Nikon should address that.

People already asking for Z8 sensor in ZR body with air cooling! One thing this camera did, even before shipping, is raising expectations from Nikon. I mean with 8k60p capable stacked sensor, and IPP2 pipeline, you get almost $15k Raptor Xe image quality, with IBIS, and 1 second boot time.

Chinese netizens have a proverb saying: don't squeeze the whole toothpaste at once. A product that satisfy everyone might become a disaster for the company. Cause nobody will upgrade to Version 2.0. So they never define a line in their design goals to satisfy everyone. Every iteration keeps some pain points to reserve room for improvement in those specific areas in the next generations. Cripple Hammer is not a broad crippling with a rough hammer. Its a surgery precision cuts with at least three gen ahead in mind. Of course there is always a risk of bleeding. But the risk of not having a plan is greater. RED and Arri didn't have such a plan, and ended up searching for a buyer who has.

RED's bullshitting about DR infiltrated Nikon. No way this chart translates to reality. Gerald's imatest result and CVP's latitude test shows the useable DR is way less than this

ZR's DR is worst among these four. IBIS in the middle, color arguably the best, AF with native lens is good enough, and okeyish with adapter.

Wish it had external SSD recording. How you're supposed to change the CFe card in this setup?

Tascam will have one

CVP guys are excited too

I managed to see the whole video. He was saying colors looks like RED colors, but R3D fidelity is not there. Of course because its 12bit and not 16bit. Also the image is as noisy as Z6iii. He loves the large screen tho.

So according to the youube review: no full size HDMI. No DR boost like S1ii, and the R3D codec is 12bit, not supported by Davinci yet.

I wonder what was the purpose behind developing this new sensor. Its not exceptionally fast, doesn't have new DR tech. Just to increase a bit of resolution and keep the 40fps burst of R6ii to put in R6iii?

I'm still skeptical about this one. Both RED recording and NRAW mentioned in the new rumor. Why should they give both internally? Maybe something lost in translation again.

What the F happened?

Nikon defines pro/prosumer/consumer segments by sensor tech and range of physical controls. Maybe they don't see Z6III sensor belonging to pro segment.
