Wild Ranger

I´m just asking... So, cloud it be possible to get rid of the weird process the camera is doing and record a very high quality image direct from the DNG to a H.264 video?

This is amazing. But to be honest, even if they can (and i hope so) capture 24 fps on cards, it will take a LOT of space, you will need a LOT of very expensive cards (the fastest ones) and maybe cant even record enough for doing anything... Sorry for been so pessimist.

Maybe this discovery will be more useful if they find a way to make the camera process the raw image in a better way and compress it in a video file with better quality than the actual way is doing.

I hope they find something amazing soon.

Very nice review Andrew!

I know it doesn't have nothing to do with this article but, is there any review coming or something about the new Nikon D7100? I´ll like to know how it compare to the D5200 or a 5D mk3.

Thanks for everything!

Personally I prefer the 5D Mark III's image, but the D5200 delivers WAY more value. The image is close yet the thing costs $700!

 

I am planning a day light shoot yes. Though to be honest, you can tell a lot more from the low light images because of the way the tonality and lighting is. One thing that I do need to do a day light test for however is dynamic range. A tunnel test. The GH3 and 5D Mark III can both shoot flatter than the D5200 without a load of banding being visible. Generally though, I find all the DSLRs to be pretty similar when it comes to dynamic range. As soon as you grade the image they all have about 9 USABLE stops. Nobody likes the look of an ungraded flat CineStyle image, you're trading other attributes for the ability to place your 9 stops in a different spot, that's all.

 

The dilemma at the moment is that the BMCC is so nice in raw that it leaves all the other cameras looking a bit too digital.

 

I highly recommend experimenting with Film Convert and Film Stocks plugins for Premiere to give the compressed footage more grain and a more authentic film look.

Thanks for your answer.

I actually been using film convert on my 5d mk2. Awesome results!

The point of my dilemma its that I'm really tired of the moire/aliasing issues on my 5D and I'm searching for a replacement (one that i can afford) and not to be losing IQ on the process. 

Thanks.

I'm getting very interested on this camera. How do you rate it in comparison over a 5d mkII (as a replacement)?

Also, are you planing on a Day light shoot out comparing it against a 5d mk3 or gh3?

Thanks Andrew!
