    I've only ever shot 120 or 240fps in 2K mode.... That has some aliasing.
    I will try a 24fps test and let you know.

    2k RAW does alias- really best for slomo only.

    Yes - 2K RAW on the Odyssey 7Q is best suited to slow motion, where it's the only option.  You'll get a fair bit of aliasing and some softness - the mode wasn't really designed for normal capture, and sensor read out in 2K RAW mode simply isn't tuned for high detail capture.  4K RAW, on the other hand, is largely excellent.  For short scenes where maximum DR is critical, 4K RAW is by far the best format.  For everything else, aside from slow motion, you're likely better off exposing properly, and capturing in ProRes.  Of course, be aware RAW files can be a bit of a pain to work with.
    In ProRes mode, you can do full 4K, or the 4K2HD mode, which debayers and down samples the 4K RAW signal on the fly, producing a considerably sharper image than the 2K output.  If space is a premium, I'd recommend this mode.  Otherwise, I recommend shooting in a mix of 4K ProRes, plus 4K RAW for scenes requiring extreme DR.  You can use the 4K capture to create a 4K deliverable or, crop/re-frame/stabilize, then down sample to 1080p.
    Note that even if you shoot RAW, you'll still need to be very careful of exposure - the 7Q can show quite a bit of noise with SLOG2, so shooting in RAW doesn't mean you don't have to carefully light things.  The FSRAW signal also bakes in a few details, so you'll still to properly white balance, just as you would with ProRes.

    I ran some tests when 4K prores came out (non scientific)..... Judging by eye, raw has at least 1 stop on the ProRes. Helps with the highlights.

    I interpret this post as a bit harsh, but maybe that's not your intension. I just like to think of EOSHD as a safe place to explore questions.
