    tweak reacted to jpfilmz in No Joke - RAW 4K on the 5D Mark III   
    5DMK3 Raw 3k upscaled to 4k.  The first shots are filmed in a mirror's reflection so they are not as sharp.  I really hope the C200's raw is similar to this.

    Don't forget the subterfuge involved.
    Last morning in Berlin so suggest going to the flea market as I'd been reading about there being lots of interesting locally produced jewellery available there.
    Just sat in cafe reviewing the only locally produced gems that were actually bought.

    17mm and up wouldn't really be that wide, depends what you're after I guess.
    I have Tokina 11-16, it's pretty average to be honest, I mean it's usable and the image is good enough but nothing about it is all that interesting.

    tweak got a reaction from jonpais in GH5 & compressed 10 bits - Any gain ?   
    If you look to MLraw threads you will see a similar opinion to yours. People were so excited about the new option of recording in 10bit Raw, but in reality they soon discovered that 10bit Raw isn't really as useful as they would have thought. 12bit Raw is kind of the minimum to be bothered shooting with and 14bit Raw really highlights the positives of shooting a file in Raw format. Obviously the GH5 isn't shooting Raw, but I would think a similar theory would apply (afterall 10bit is 10bit). You may get a slight bit of an advantage in colour grading but ultimately a well exposed 8bit h.246 file vs a well exposed 10bit h.246 file is going to be indistinguishable to the end viewer... I wish these companies would give us a proper Raw option. GH5 with 14bit Raw would be an amazing camera.

    tweak reacted to jcs in GH5 & compressed 10 bits - Any gain ?   
    This JPG image is 8-bit 420 (everything we see online and with normal monitors is 8-bit. To see 10-bit one needs a 10-bit display, a video card capable of 10-bit output such as a Quadro/FirePro, and OS+software capable of 10-bit output (e.g. Photoshop)). The banding was caused by post grading where the 8-bit capture (Vlog?) wasn't sufficient for the grading, whereas the 10-bit version's extra bits allowed the final edit to be compressed to 8-bit 420 without banding. If one can't see the advantages of 10-bit and needs to save disk space, shooting 8-bit is a good idea.

    Is why I brought up MLRaw, which has a much higher bitrate yet still the advantages in 10bit aren't that great.
    Above poster is right, V-log makes more of a difference, but there's still some drawbacks in certain situations.

    Anecdotal evidence cannot be a basis of overall brand reputation (I never used Lexar, but also never heard anything good/bad about them). In hindsight, you should've used the dual card slots for their intended purpose. Sorry for your loss, hopefully we can all learn a valuable lesson here.

    Just finished my 2nd round of shooting for my short. I had a little more trouble correcting these images as I shot a lot in lower light than the first round. But here are a few shots that turned out okay...



    I will say that I think ML Raw has ruined me for other cameras.

    Because you also want a full frame camera for stills and 1080p?

    MJPEG has better motion imo.

    You could say the same things about lots of cameras...

    Why buy a GH4 that crops for 4K???

    Why buy a GH5 when it's footage wasn't fully supported in NLE's???

    BLA BLA BLA... etc.

    Doesn't every camera which shoot raw stills is capable of delivering raw video? It's more or less just  a straight data dump to a media card limited by interface's speed. If so, GH5 is capable of doing it and why not all manufacturers enable it? Canon is not the only one holding back this feature!

    I disagree. If your intent is to make a narrative film or documentary, I would say the cameras used to shoot the films at Sundance is a great barometer. Now it doesn't mean the films are any better because of it, but it does indicate that the Canon image is still appreciated amongst the upper echelon of the Indie film scene. Or at the very least, it's not a distraction.
    This post is about choosing between the GH5 and the 5D4. Omar is obviously impressed by the Canon image, he has stated it multiple times. I was merely expressing one of the reasons why I decided to go back to Canon and why I believe the 5D4 may be the better choice.
    With the imminent C-Log update coming out in the near future, I would say the feature gap is even closer now. And in some ways... crop factor, color, AF, FF stills... I could contend the 5D4 is the better choice. You could contend differently and you would probably be right also.

    tweak got a reaction from omar in Gh5 or 5d mk iv?   
    People need to stop saying MLraw workflow "isn't simple"... it's as simple as any other camera I use and it edits on my computer better than h.264. Only thing I think sucks about MLraw is the fact you don't get previews playing back in real time and with sound in camera. That's the only thing that really sucks for me but it isn't a deal breaker imo.
    Here's a quick video we just did with GH4, GH5, Gopro, MLraw. (MLraw was normalised to rec709 to better match other footage). Almost wouldn't matter what we shot it on, only Gopro footage stands out to me a bit. Password: 123
     
     
    Not sure if I would buy a 5DIV right now unless I wanted the crazy autofocus or good stills, but I think it would still be a nice camera to have if I could afford one. GH5 is a more versatile production tool for video though I think.

    It does matter in some programs though, because your footage will come out looking totally wacky if you shoot AutoWB as AutoWB doesn't apply the metadata to MLraw in the same way... I mean yeah, you could shoot auto and add possibly another pointless step to every file (at least in Resolve) if you want, anybody is free to do what they want after all.
    WB is just metadata, but if you set AutoWB some programs (like resolve) will then take the lowest possible setting for whitebalance and apply that to your files... for me this is just annoying and pointless to have to normalise every shot before you can even see what it is properly. If you set to a Kelvin figure (5400 as an example) you can just adjust later and no matter what program you open it in it's going to look somewhat normal. I prefer this approach.
