This Sony is very impressive for sure!

But also a bit pricey compare to the GH4

full frame 4K makes focusing much more challenging (and glorious too)

genuinely exciting design! Could this be mass produce for the masses? What do you think the price should be?

Shane Hurlbut(D.P. of the upcoming Need for Speed)'s camera choices for need for speed

This video shows the strongest strength of the Alexa

Check out other videos on his channel on camera test/ comparison as well

Need for Speed was shot on the C500 and the Alexa

Shane explains the reasons he chose one camera over the other very thoroughly

the d16 and the bmpcc are so different of a camera although they share some similar specs

who needs digital bolex now.....?

Can someone give me some info on the current state of RAW in the 7D? I need a B-cam for my BMCC and while the obvious choice seems like the BMPCC I'd be really happy if the 7D was also an option.. But what's it like for practical use (specifically compared to the BMPCC)?

 

Does it have continuous recording? Is it reliable? What are the main cons? 

Same here, I want to buy a second hand 7D as my A-camera. little bit of information everywhere, some of them is outdated

freaking finally.....

Sometimes, I found very frustrating when manufacturers announce an affordable product cost more then $1000....

I think they tend to forget whatever the price is, and just snap affordable on it....

still looks soft... WHY!!!?

Some people always only see the surface of the thing. I have a fellow student who just bought a BMCC 2.5k. I'm sure he has been reading how amazing RAW and 2.5K is. However, I don't think he has considered the amount of accessories he needs to operate the camera comfortably, I would say. External batteries, SSD drives, SDI monitor, camera rig,etc. And we haven't covered the post production yet. We all know the ungraded BMCC raw footage is dull and flat. You need to grade the picture to maximize the image quality. The work behind it is just.... On the other hand though, I've tried the ML raw on my 60D in 720p. I found the footages are quite nice and even better then 1080p in H.264. The color is natural and vibrant compared to H.264. I don't feel like I have to do extensive color correction and grading to make it look good. I also noticed the noise of the RAW is much more pleasing and very film grain like while the H.264 is just blocky purple digital sickness.... I always wet myself when I see some lovely film grain....and with anamorphic, it is just pure porn...

Really? I think it's the kids who are hacking their camera's and shooting raw with the camera they already have...

Ha! I think that is why he said most of them and if every kids know how to hack a camera.....oh man

All of these manufacturers get close to optimum but don't reach it.

 

3 Blackmagic models and none of them satisfies me completely (stops, sensor size, rolling shutter, weight, there's always something wrong).

 

2 Kinefinity models and they seem to get it right but, honestly, price is almost double.

 

x Canon cameras that make the job but not out of the box and not without limitations.

 

Personally I think that the first company that puts on the market a camera with the following specs:

 

S35 sensor size

FullHD

12 stops

Raw + ProRes or Cineform

normal SSD internal recording

2000-2500 $ price

 

will sale tons!

 

I think none of us needs 4k, nor wants to use Compact Flash, nor wants to buy add-ons to make the camera work, nor wants to struggle with crop factors, and most of all none of us goes for Raw if dynamic range is limited.

shit! you read my mind....

In general, the liveview/display on my 50D, at any rate, is jumpy and flickers between different sizes, and between color and B&W.  I once got it to play a video back, but can't remember how I did it.  I gave up on it because the quality doesn't really tell you what you got anyway.  I look at the 50D like an old-fashioned 16mm camera.  I have to wait to develop when I get home.  That said, running a RAW file through the cineform converter is very fast.  So if you have a laptop with you it wouldn't take long for you to get that daily.

 

@lionel, thanks for that photo!  Cool.  

thanks! I was discussing whether we should go with BMCC or canon DSLR raw with my director buddy the other day and we both agreed canon raw seems like a better choice because of the cost.(film school students...) But no playback really is a bummer. I also concern about the actual shooting as well since everybody just show how to install, post production and end result videos on youtube. I don't know will there anything that can hinders me during the recording.

Can we play the ML raw videos back real time 24fps in camera yet?

keep an eye for the digital bolex?

Can I edit cineform raw footage in premiere without installing gopro cineform studio premium?

so what is the resolution of this video? Can you record continuously at that resolution, and can we monitor and frame the shot during recording via the on board LCD or external monitors?

Um I just brought the book via paypal. How am i going to get this book exactly?

Who the hell at JVC thought this is a good camera to release?

magic lantern said cameras use cf card will have a bigger chance of shooting raw and cameras with digi4 processor will have to work at a lower resolution. so, theoretically, can 7D with two digi4 and uses CF card shoot raw video at 1080p or higher?
