  1. Will & an h.265 encoder chip. 

    After seeing what Sony is capable of. SD cards can support ~240Mbps that 4K 10bit footage can conform to with the h.265 codec "easily". 

    Doubt it. For the solution I mentioned before, it will need dedicated hardware. 

    P.S. Just saw that they will enable the uncompressed RAW is stills:

    So if we keep complaining for 10bits we might see it someday :)


    Thanks for that explanation. =) Didn't know about the h.265 encoder chip. I'd been hoping they'd give us s-log3 with the next iteration of A7S (which surprisingly they did). Now I'm looking to the A7S II, with the promise of easier grading with S-log3/S-gamut3/Cine for run-and-gun shoots, for travel and documentary work I'm undertaking in a few months. Can't say I have much to complain (except battery life, like everyone else).

    Question: How is there not a bigger file size difference between a 4k 10 bit Prores 422 HQ file out of Ursa mini (110 MB/s) and the Sony's own 4k 8 bit S-log 3 file (100MB/s)?

     

  2. Disclaimer: Non-tech person here. 

    I'm curious, what is lacking in the current hardware Sony A7R II / A7S II uses to enable internal 10bit 4:2:2 video, given that BMPCC has been able to do it for a while (granted with a smaller sensor)?

    And can it be solved via firmware update?
