    tweak reacted to SlanderShot in No Joke - RAW 4K on the 5D Mark III   
    Here a small test :
    3009 x 1280@24p (upscale to 4k) + 14 bits lossless = continuous shooting.
    I used the new ML Cinelog-C to Ektar 100 LANDSCAPE lut of @hyalinejim
    Graded in Davinci Resolve 12.5, edited in Premiere.

    Just for clarification. The 5DIII is not eight years old but just a tad over five. It shipped in March 2012. I took delivery of two of the first in the UK on 17th March 2012. The body only one was £2999 & the one with 24-105mm F/4L was £3689. Used a body only 5DIII is still worth £1000-1500.
    I think that it's amazing that the Magic Lantern guys are still squeezing new features out of a five year old camera that is still a decent pro tool. It doesn't shoot 4K but the colours & the full frame look are still gorgeous.

    while I fully respect your opinion, I do not agree with it. It is really impressive that a 8 years old camera is capable of such amazing things, and they were hidden by canon in order to protect their professional line. Impressive that a bunch of people who share their time and knowledge with the community just because they wanted to.
    it is not perfect, I agree with that, they are still working on it...it might take some time until the final product can be free of bugs/problems, but at least they found that the camera is capable of doing it.
    You have to understand how this process works...it is NOT EASY at all to hack/change the code in this cameras, you need to know how to program, how the camera works, find a hole in the camera firmware, for example the latest 5d mark III do not support ML, Canon blocked the hack, you have to downgrade to firmware 1.1.3 or 1.2.3 to use it.
    the new cameras come with new technology that might not be possible to hack....A1ex and a bunch of other people who help him all of them need a 5d mark IV to hack it and trial and error the hack, find errors, fix them, more test...repeat the process etc etc.... they might brick the camera, Are you ready to trash $3500 if your camera doesn't work anymore?.
    A lot of people cannot afford right now a 5d mark IV, so it makes sense for ML team to continue to work and get whatever they can extra  from a 5d mark III .
    If you want  ML team to works on a 5d mark IV find other happy owners of this new camera and buy altogether a new/used 5d mark IV and send it to them for free, so they can start working with the hack.
    ML might or might not be ported to 5d mark IV . I cannot imagine the cool things this new camera will do with ML,  but until then let's enjoy the new findings with 5d mark III.

    The only GH5 video I've seen so far that I've really liked is James Miller's. All that it took was a Zeiss Otus and a 4k external recorder to accomplish a pristine baked-in-LUT downscale of 4k to 1080p. Every other test video simply doesn't have colors I like. The film look isn't there. If you told me all of it was shot with a GH4 I'd believe you.

    To be fair, Amook... you chastise Andrew for writing a rare political rant on his blog and you are fed up by it, yet you go out of your way to write a post about how you disapprove of his rant... which is in essence a political rant of your own?

    tweak reacted to fuzzynormal in Delete my account Please! Done with Andrews political rants   
    I've been hearing the term "snowflake" and "safe space" a lot from the alt-right...  Not sure what side of the political spectrum you're on, but regardless, c'mon now.  
    At the least, you can just walk away from here and never return.  If you don't like it, jump.
    Still, it's just one dude's thoughts for goodness sake.  Even if you ignore the rants, there's other good info here.  Besides, what's exactly wrong with hearing other's political opinions?  I'm pretty sure it doesn't make one's brain explode.
    Does it?

    tweak got a reaction from Chrad in New Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro looks great, but where's the new Pocket Cinema Camera?   
    This would sell like hot cakes. Look at all the hype around the GH5 and all the people who hype it... most are video shooters, not many still shooters and most are touting 10bit and better colour space as the main reasons to buy. If they were given a good BM $2000 option that shot raw/prores and blew the GH5 away I have no doubt at least half would buy it instead. Thus I think there's a bigger market there than people give credit to. I mean Pana wouldn't put so much time and effort into GH5 if there was no market.

    Yes Sony and Panasonic but huge effort into video and 4K.
    They also have TVs to sell, which helps, but the market for video around $1000-$3000 is much bigger than people think.
    It's also scarily competitive and doesn't have the high margins of the pro $6000+ stuff.

    tweak reacted to Andrew Reid in New Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro looks great, but where's the new Pocket Cinema Camera?   
    Do you mean the BMCC and Pocket, or is this the case even with the URSA cameras?
    That would be short-sighted of the rental companies, but also a sign of how Canon and Sony have that market really tightly sown up between them. Even Panasonic have trouble with the Varicam at rental vs those two.
    I think it's a market which is too slow to change... a creature of habit. "C300 works so why change"
    This is why I wanted Blackmagic to stick to the BMCC and Pocket concept - affordable cinema cameras for the masses to buy in a shop. Instead they seem to think the pro and rental market is for them.
    Perhaps the consumer market for the Pocket was just too fickle, at the other extreme of the spectrum and the margins weren't high enough?
    Personally I think there is a HUGE pent up demand for RAW video and ProRes in a mirrorless camera.
    If Blackmagic put out a GH5 rival shooting RAW (DJI have proved it's possible already), they'd sell a boat load of $2000 cameras to almost everyone from beginners to pros.
    That would play well into the ecosystem they are building around Resolve too.
    Instead, I am just not that hot for the $6k URSA, however nice it may be.

    tweak reacted to Andrew Reid in Thieves break into Veydra - help them to recover their cinema lenses   
    I doubt professional thieves can tell the difference between one set of ultra primes on one hand and other brand cinema lenses on the other.
    They probably took advantage of a security lapse or something and will get a surprise then they find that the lenses aren't 50,000 dollars a-piece.
    Anyway this is all speculation from us...
    I hope they get to the bottom of exactly what happened.
