  1. I jumped in the pool and the water is great! I have a BM 4K, but like the files coming out of this C500 better. It is hard to beat Canon color science. In my opinion color science is the essence of the image. When they packaged the C500 with the 7Q+ for what seemed an incredible price of $11,000 - $12,000, then Convergent Design ran a Summer special on the Raw Codecs.... I could not resist and pulled the trigger. I have not played with it much yet, just shooting test shots side by side with my BM 4K, both in raw and Prores. They are both very sharp cameras, but the C500 brings much more to the table like better color, higher speed, in camera NDs, works with all my Canon glass, EVF for bright sun. no sun spots, almost zero noise, great low light work. This is truly a professional camera. The 7Q+ is a fantastic monitor as well as a recorder. When my brother (who shoots also) saw the quality of the 7Q+ oled monitor, he summed it up in one word...... Wow! So far everything works as advertised. I cant say enough a bout Abel Cine for helping me put it together. I have been busy completing the build with a Tilta/ redrock rig and should do more shooting soon. And I hope to put up some links.
  2. OK, we all know that we are being bombarded daily by Neutrinos or highly charged neutrons coming from deep space. Scientist in Antarctica are studying them now because it's a great place to find a high concentration of them and they have 9,000 feet of ice in which to lay their sensor array so as to track their projection and speed. They are trying to see if they seem to be coming from certain places or are random. I not certain, but I think the Neutrino particle is supposed to have the highest natural energy of any (not man made) in our environment. In fact, they frequently will pass right through the whole planet.   I am told any one of us can see their "Neutrino was here" signature by pinging your still camera sensor (ISO 1600, lens cover on, cover view finder, expose 30 seconds). Of course that's what we call hot pixels. Dedicated video cameras suffer the same but the much faster exposures make it insignificant.    Night time lapse is were it becomes a problem. After noticing odd looking colored stars, I pinged my sensor to find an estimated 100 hot pixels in my 7D. I doubt you will find this many as polar trips are a semi annual event for me.   Here is the part I do not understand. All of my 100 or so Neutrino induced, hot pixels are either red, white, or blue. No green? Yet, we have more green photo sites in a typical sensor than any other color. I was hoping someone with much more sensor science knowledge than me (which is not asking much), could explain the missing green hot pixels.
