Very true, for some reason I bought mine : ) Better than to not be able to lock the exposure as happens with the ASUS Zenfone 7 Pro despite the flip camera so no total buyer's remorse here ; ) Still willing to check their HDR promise anyway as much as the complete manual exposure they seem to deliver for first-run :- )

*is no less than https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_pro_i-11174.php about €1800...

Shut up, you and I we have no need for, we'll shoot in the meantime with ours iPhone 13 Pro babe ; ) That 4K 120p is a blast in any way whatsoever!

WOW Estimated price?

I've only been using BRAW so still clueless on topic, my ProRes experience is restricted to the preexisting workflow. Curious to find the miserable brand's White Paper though. Not surprised to check Atomos pushing for the format ofc... Guess where I could find decent information? source >> more info

Which proves digital was not the end of film, just a transformation (EAG :- )

That is, the principle is: You're using several acquisition platforms from a panoply of codecs and capture devices available to choose, use and abuse nowadays since RAW or raw as you wish ; ) to H.265/H.264.

Something I forgot to put as disclaimer: As far as the inquiry concerns, acquisition codec doesn't necessarily mean to be exclusively ProRes on your choice towards what version you'd be using for mastering it, hence the option of a higher bitrate to be on the table :- )

Now that we can shoot ProRes 422 for about a grand, seems an interesting topic to end in a poll here : ) What's your choice? - EAG :- )

This one?

Hope manual controls at OnePlus 9 Pro/Hasselblad IQ level: *fingerscrossed*

Well, at least either way he can always end lighter than the poor back of the cameraman using the new DJI toy... : D Disclaimer: BTW I love DJI tools! (EAG :- )

Yes, there are. But, the substantial differences are not even about the shooters behind or back to the camera... The key differences are all about the ideas and the way the people going with cameras are able to produce ; ) That's where form factor has a role to play : ) As much as budget. Expensive stuff won't necessarily make a film better. Neither money. EAG :- )

No idea what such distinction means... No idea either what Nouvelle Vague filmmakers or Tonino Guerra, I personally heard from his own voice to call (to mirrorless devices or consumer camcorders then) the future of cinema to "these Japanese cameras", would have to add on topic... ; ) But something I know though ; )) thanks to God there are shooters who make art without the need of hefty paraphernalia such 4.67Kg is... to just show off "filmmaking" skills for making Marvel movies... LOL :- )

I still think under the $5000 mark would have been a hit :- )

Here's a particular elucidative test vividly recommended on the capabilities of the most affordable offer and best 4K 120fps capture device option on budget today, that is, until Osmo Action 2 will arrive just in a few days :- )

As Osmo Pocket 2 lover, I find this bloody cinematic mode experience curious enough to testify how softer lower resolution can overcome a detailed outcome anyway. And here's another comparison with the same devices beyond the cinematic mode on iPhone, despite to fail testing the main camera instead for low light shooting. In short and usual, to each its own ;- )

I'd love to be as optimistic as this guy is on his RAM needs... : D

A dream of a camera but expensive in a miniaturized world nowadays, countercyclical for a brand such as DJI ; ) a temptation no matter what anyway ;- )

Very interesting release : ) Maybe this will be my 4th mobile unit purchased this year? LOL :- )

Interesting reflection about what expects us in the coming years, not exactly because of the shallow DOF option but its easier access/manoeuvre and the gates to be opened then : ) Well, I'd say they surely receive this year's most relevant high-tech award for their 2021 releases. In my case, I will buy two products of Apple for the first time ever, so go figure which and why ;- )

No, if you'll buy it locally for people also based in the States : ) Because in Europe the prices are outrageously higher, so you're pretty accurate : )) Without mention VAT where the State and politicians live from our own expenses 1/5 to 1/4 of our year, let alone the other taxes to eat from a third to three quarters of our income and labor :- (

Fully agreed on both paragraphs, very well elaborated! : ) Texture is something indeed and that's what makes it unique and where the difference resides :- ) Filmmaking is a combo. - EAG

I follow and partially agree with you but it's hard to say the things are as much night and day as your last statement infers LOL : ) I've seen myself higher resolution copies on delivery projected at the big screen and they're nothing but fairly "cinematic", no matter how many more pixels they have, viewers don't run away from them ;- )
