So I was also able to get the OG3.5K to record to SD card which is crazy. But it isn't really practical since I'd only get about 10 minutes per 128gb v90 card. Anyway, here's a frame from that mode, if anyone is interested...

Yeah the OG2K is pretty good. It's clean with a nice texture that was lacking in the original firmware... Quick shot after the sun set. Minolta MD 35mm 1.8...

I have FPsup running on my FP now and it was pretty painless. I hadn't upgraded the FW to 5.02 yet, so I had to do that first and then went to their GitHub and checked the features I wanted, and it compiled the code and I downloaded it. Unzipped the files, placed them onto the root of my SD card and popped it in... Sure enough it worked... my FP can now shoot OG2K, OG3K and S16. An initial test at home went smoothly. I was even able to get 30 seconds of OG3K recorded to the SD card for 30 seconds before I stopped it. It was a static shot, so I assume that helped. Gonna head out today and see what some movement will do on a busier shot. I'm really interested in the 3.5K in 2:1 but I assume I'll have to use an SSD for that. As far as the FP-L, I assume someone will work on it. The Dev isn't planning to do it, but he kinda pointed people in the right direction.

I'll surely love the camera if Sigma sends one my way to test ... and keep.

@BTM_Pix I would assume it can probably be ported over to the FP-L without too much kink but that's just a guess since I'm only recently looking into it.

Wow, don't even catch those. I had read about the 4:20 that @Ty Harper mentioned but that doesn't bother me because I wouldn't buy a raw capable camera to shoot compressed video, unless it was ProRes. The EVF thing you mentioned is goofy. What are they doing over there at Sigma when they design these things. They should stop listening to YouTube pros and talk to us over here.

No I think it only works with the original FP.

Yeah this is pretty cool. I've been thinking about selling my FP for a while now, but I definitely need to test these new modes before I do... the open gate 2K and super 16 mode specifically.

Yeah I'm sure it's fine and a bunch of people will buy it and create gorgeous images with it. I've had such a love/hate relationship with the original, so I was surprised to see Sigma not only ignore what was annoying about the original, but double down on it. The good news is that this release has confirmed a few things I've been mulling over about these new camera releases and where I want to spend my money.

Somebody needs to tell Sigma that if you are FORCED to add components to the camera to make it usable, then it is no longer the "smallest full frame camera." Now if the 2.5K ProRes Raw can be recorded internally, that will be a little interesting, but not for the same price as the ZR. And definitely not without IBIS.

Sigma could have released this camera with the updated screen, a slightly larger body to accommodate CF Express for internal 4K raw, added IBIS, and literally changed nothing else and it would have been a good update. Instead they give us ProRes Raw and it isn't clear if it's internal or to SSD only and then gave us a full hdmi?! Why do we need a full hdmi if they're giving us internal, or usb ssd, ProRes Raw?! They could have omitted any HDMI and gave us a CFX slot. You can save $800 and buy the Z5iiC and have internal n-raw to sd card, af and ibis.

I did something wrong when trying to quote you... either way DGO sensor makes a little more sense with those ISO numbers. My GH6 has one... I don't like it on that camera, but I assume the full frame versions are better. In 2019, I was the perfect customer for the OGFP... this one... no thanks. Maybe at $1500 but for the same price as the ZR?! No thanks. Of course, I'm thinking about making a camcorder my next camera purchase, so what do I know.

But B&H specs are wrong sometimes, and since they list the Dual ISO as 320 and 500, they could be wrong. I did notice they listed L-Log as a video format... Honestly Sigma could have given us internal ProRes 4444 to CF Express and included IBIS and it would have been a home run. I wonder if the 2.5K raw can be recorded internally?

Not according to the specs on B&H, I only see h.264, h.265 and ProRes Raw HQ. It also says they included 70GB of internal memory... but according to DP Review, you need an SSD to record ProRes Raw... so I seriously do not understand this camera. They keep all of the annoying issues, take away the one good spec (cDNG) and then don't give us IBIS either?! So you still need to rig out the small camera with an SSD to get a higher resolution that nobody asked for? I mean at least make the internal card slot CFExpress... hell give me regular CF. The FP was frustrating in a lot of ways, but it was released in 2019, so I still feel it was a pretty great release. This is just stupid.

Why? The raw files will still be pretty huge. No IBIS. No PDAF? What exactly is appealing about this for weddings?
