All fears are starting to dissipate... colors, DR, decent low light/ noise. It all looks spot on...
I registered a few days ago on bmcuser just to watch these new images. Apparenty it takes like a week to get activated, until then you can't see them.

I saw this on DVXuser today. Full kit for $5500.
http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?344235-Sony-FS700-amp-Odyssey-7q-FULL-KIT
EDIT: Actually not that great of a deal. Only 1 240GB SSD included.
"(2) Convergent Design SSD media 265GB" - looks like 2 to me.
-
With the 7Q you can record 4K 60p (and 120p burst) and 2K 240p in raw mode, anyone knows if the new shogun raw update will allow the same framerates?
AaronChicago: congrats for your purchase, can't wait to see you test it, I wonder how you'll like the colors.

Hey guys!
On the Atomos site is an announcement for a Shogun Firmware Update to version 6.6, for Q1 2016, promising CDNG.
One thing to consider is the cost of media. Shogun takes normal SSDs, Odyssey needs media from Convergent Design.
cheers
Now the FS700 is even more tempting.
-
It is quite big and bulky... That is why we sold ours (alot of my work involves things like climbing mountains, glaciers etc).
In terms of image quality, it is very good though. I think it beats RED MX and the colours are more natural than Sony's baked in looks. It is very, very versatile too (plus things like NDs, XLRs etc).
Actually climbing mountains will be important here too, but I thought I just grow some muscles... or not. Let's see what this new Canon 1DXII offers.

Jimmy, would you recommend the FS700/OQ7 duo to someone looking for 4K and 2K HFR with colors like 5D3 RAW? It's for a personal project with lots of time and storage space.
-
ha that makes sense, guess I was underestimating the Samsung ! The more I read you guys feedback is the more I want the 5D. I think I can match the sharpness to the NX1 with a high quality lens like the Milvus glass without the compression and sharpening artifacts. If that truly is possible then I just may have found a nice camera to compliment or exceed my nx1
While you can get decent enough details with a good lens, I think the NX1's sharpness and detail is unrivaled in this price category.
-
Don't get hung up on small image artifacts because every camera has them in one way or another. Look at the overall image. The whole picture. Do you like it for the job you're shooting? Do others watch it and also like it? If the answer is 'yes' then you win. Nothing more to be done there. There's always a more expensive camera out there and they're usually better too, but you have to work within reasonable expectations or you'll drive yourself crazy needlessly.
I see your point but I just can't get past the aliasing, it's just so evident. For me it's like you see it once and then you see it everywhere. The overall image is gorgeous though, nothing can beat it in this price range, no argument there.
-
It seems it wasn't your mistake at all, it's clearly there in the DNG files. And as I said I see it in almost all 5D3 videos, it must be a ML thing.
-
"That aliasing in the first video at 2:20 at the fence for example, pretty ugly."
Yes, you are right but i think this comes more from my mistake than from hardware side, i am still learning resolve. I will post couple of original DNGs from this particular moment for you to check.
Thanks that would be greatly appreciated.
-
I have just finished two short videos from last year vacations. Shot with 5d3 with ML installed in raw.
Absolutely love colors of this camera, however there is one thing I notice in almost all 5D3 RAW videos. That aliasing in the first video at 2:20 at the fence for example, pretty ugly. I'm considering an FS700 + 7Q (for RAW), but I wonder if that could give me colors like this.
-
Well the price didn't last long... 3719 GBP now.
-
You only need FS700 and 7Q with license, no need for HXR

I'm still thinking about this combo. Would you choose it over the upcoming URSA Mini if colors and dynamic range is top priority? I know the FS700 can be messy to shoot with but I have time.
-
I just hope this is not a temporary drop.
-
Apologies, I forgot the H4n doesn't have a line-input option to by-pass the mic preamp, so you'll need an attenuator...
Yes, here's a video showing that happening with the H4n
Which is why you need an attenuator of some kind to prevent it. Other recorders allow for a line-in.
This explains what is happening to the voltage difference between line & mic

Hope this helps
Okay I get it now, thanks for the clarification. Yeah, he will need an attenuator.
-
The meter is referring to the signal in the NLE, not what was going in to the recorder. If you distort the signal as it goes in to a recorder, dial the recorder to 1, you'll end up with a weak (-24dB ) but already distorted signal.
Okay I'm not familiar with the Zoom H4N. Are you saying that it's possible to overdrive an otherwise clean signal inside the recorder and record it at an attenuated level?
-
Changing to the line-in input should solve the problem.
Microphones have a low output, which is why they need to be boosted, but if you boost an amplified signal (i.e. from a mixing board) you can distort it, which appears to be the case here. Try to monitor the sound with headphones from the Zoom H4n you'll here the distortion but you won't necessarily be able to tell by the levels on the visual display.
Good luck for tonight and let me know if changing the input to line-in sorts the problem out or whether you need to use the attenuator.
If you boost a signal and it clips then yes you can distort it, but the waveform shows -24dB loudness, so I guess it was not the Zoom H4N that clipped it. The line in signal must have been already clipped.
-
I think the waveform speaks for itself. It seems you recorded an already clipped source at a lower volume.
-
The C100 looked really good imo.
I wonder how the FS700 + 7Q RAW would look like compared to these. I know it's old and hard to handle, but let's say I have all the time in the world and my priorities are color and DR, and I like having 4K, isn't the FS700 a good choice then? I was waiting for the URSA Mini 4.6K but I can't say I liked what I've seen so far.
-
A few days earlier someone from bmcuser.com asked B&H on the phone, they told him 4-6 months. I'm not sure how accurate that is, but I don't think it's coming soon.

If that's a fixed pattern noise on the D5200, can it be removed like this? http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/6506-fixed-pattern-noise-subtraction-test/
-
Do you know if the D750 can get better results with an external recorder?
-
Can somebody confirm that or do you have an example ? Because I'm about to buy the NX1 and thought that a S35 sensor should be better in low light than a m4/3 one...
According to Max the NX1 is better until ISO 1600, at 3200 they are about the same and at 6400 the GH4 is better:

Would be nice to see this improvement in video mode too: http://www.canonrumors.com/dynamic-range-test-of-eos-1d-x-mark-ii/
