    What the lighting craftsman Vittorio Storaro, master of light and shadows, has to do with it? Since ever or just nowadays?
    In some other perspective more technical perhaps, as you wish, but in 5 letters to testify how the Netflix man/woman is damned ignorant: 12-bit.
    Here's his English ; -)

    After all the only difference is not the chipset which is the same middle class Snapdragon 730G (much lower than OnePlus 7T's 855+ as for instance, much more valuable route only to mention 4K60p for similar price*) as well 6GB/128GB vs 8GB/256GB and something they call 7P vs 8P lens system for 108MP mode I have no absolutely science what really is : D

    No, I could NEVER infer that from women, I love them!
    What I told you was the fact we didn't know both sides of the story.
    All story has two sides as we all know : ) At times, we tend to forget because of our passionate views ; )
    I profoundly condemn domestic violence or any kind of unjustified violence. Let alone with helpless ones!
    The point is at times the accuser is the offender. Two to three decades of legal perspective helped me to conclude that. I've just checked our friendly exchange of private messages between us and that was what I wrote to you.
    Here is an excerpt of my text then: "Another note... don't believe in everything a supposed victim of domestic violence says about the aggressor. Because at times, she/he can be the first aggressor instead. Only to proclaim to be the victim in the end."
    Take a 2nd glance there: "she/he" (and 'she' came first in that context, because the accuser was a 'she', only because of that).
    You can't obviously know my life as me yours but for your information, I've already spent time and money to help people as someone working for me offering legal services totally pro bono. From my own. In 100%, not even my business related. Which means I give it because of what?
    Injustice. I am very sensitive with that. I tend to jump when I immediately see anyone who can require that from my side.
    My worldview is very particular of my own, of course. There are things I agree with you, some others don't. Something you'll never hear from me it will be to intentionally disrespect someone else because he thinks different of me. I am not perfect, nobody is. I try to guide my life and ethics for principles, though.
     
    RED related, I have partners and close friends who are active redusers, I've already been too. Not so lately because of my recent investment options route. For some reason I am here. Without mention I have a friendly relation with the company and people there for years since the early beginning. And yes, I am loyal to my friends : ) As I could tell you before, I've had the chance to personally meet them and I've even collaborated with them in the past to organize their presence in one of the towns where I operate (Rome, Italy).
     
    I understand you have a negative opinion. I don't mind. It's not even my business. I think you're obviously entitled to be a critic of your choices. Nothing against that. I just beg your pardon to not infer abusive considerations about me or whoever else. As same as I do with everyone, even myself if I got my mistake when happens. We all commit errors for sure. Judgement is also a very sensitive matter. Nobody is infallible, that includes the Pope too! : -D
     
     
    PS -- LOL You retracted your post again! You're a danger! haha : ) I had to quote you this time to not play the part of a fool! : D Happy halloween to you too! (E : -)

    ETTR is suitable for raw and uncompressed formats.
     
    Just be careful going by a histogram alone.  If you have zebras, set them in the range of 95%-100%, and use them to determine your upper limit and to choose which parts of the image may or may not blow-out.  Waveform is also good for finding the upper limit.

    Ed, I can understand you have your reasons to complain on their business practices and marketing. Nothing against. They are not perfect. Nobody is. The fact I can concur with one or another points of your criticism, this doesn't mean I am totally there. On the contrary, I think it's clear I actually see your description too dark to match reality to tell you quite frankly.
    My participation on reduser is utterly public so you're entitled to evaluate by your own : -) Marketing or other issues in the way the brand runs their forum is absolutely responsibility of the administrators of the site. It's their choice. I don't think it is much different of some others. OK, RED sales are based in that community in a way other manufacturers were not able to build up. I guess it should be more as a Jarred's achievement than the reverse. I realize you don't agree but did you mind to already ask to some other contenders of their own? I did and believe me, Jarred would love to listen the feedback I've heard through these years. And Jim, a positive vote or recognition of the certitude of his bet if he needed to hear, I doubt.
    Life is not B&W. And a lot of what I'm reading there in your post now it is completely new to me. I can't surely confirm or deny what I obviously don't know. My private communication with RED people or other users is 100% personal and responding on your inquiry, because there's nothing to hide, such contact is made from unilateral relations, there are no facebook groups where I had ever participated. I don't even use it. Seems a bit ridiculous to have to mention but once you ask, I don't mind to answer you as direct as you address your questions.
    My business and friendly ties with people there, it is merely based on personal empathy of our own towards each other. As natural as any other particular communication we have with friends made along the life of all of us. Living close or abroad. I bet your case, as well : ) For your information, any camera discussion related, RED included, is even secondary in our talks.
    Hope this helps to satisfy your curiosity at least as far as myself concerns about my RED connections : D
     
    PS: LOL I see you've deleted your post. Too late, I'm sorry, once mine is posted now : ) Chill out man, it's agree to disagree here. No rocket science to see. Only your imagerie and talent matters to me. Debate should always be welcome to have something to learn no matter how much we can diverge : ) On something we can concur though @Ed_David, to ban discordant voices or yes men in any cult not even blessed by my church! : P Free spirit stands as our utmost stronghold.

    First off, user sanveer, your typo brought the wrong member here. Better to pay attention to correctness, you know? The content follows.
    So, we're trolling unless we become silent? When an old member in this forum has a different opinion or anyone can see some unfairness to be written or produced. Is that so? You're not the only entitled to express a view. Otherwise, it is tyranny. Some people have conveyed their disapproval on RED business practices, without mention an attack towards someone outside who are not even here to defend himself. Mentioning facts with reputation damages but where are the evidences other than the mere territory of opinion making? No matter how you feel about him. Fueling some past issue with the webmaster here, innocent in all this mess as I had the chance to directly write to someone lurking in the serious stuff written in these pages. A public place is not private communication.
    Is that the way you recognise your appreciation to the owner of the site? And you act in behalf of this (free) forum? BTW what contribution you've added to help to solve and handle the trouble? None of our business, isn't it? Consequences don't knock to our door, correct? ; -)
    To persecute someone is instead what you're claiming. Blanked about you, I think I remember I've once heard you saying in these same pages about your legal background if my memory serves now. And I haven't listened a sole entry on legal aspects to address the matter, though. To make a point to not fit our perspective is then something forbidden under your depreciation? What about your reactions to click one post yes, one post not, along this thread? : D
    Why intensively? Didn't you like the number of my paragraphs or the countless basics of my point? LOL So I end accused by you to be a troll?
    Of course, in your mind I see what you read there is annoying. Save your opinion to your posting as it is your single right in a free forum. We should all have the same open chance to demonstrate our perspective. In the free world, there's a name for it: right of reply aka right of correction. Not only those ones who serve our proposal. That's how a free society or community works. For some reason I seconded a disapproval on banning policies only because we can think differently.
    On that, I, Ed and many others share the same vibe and principle. You should read better my balanced reasoning rather than willing to exclude me here only because you dislike a good part of my words you read coming from the 'other' side. Let the others tell what they feel at the same time. Give them their chance without trying to embarrass or somehow restrict their point attacking or killing the messenger. Worst, because there's a distinct way of thinking. Disgusting if I can write it in a single word.

    I understand you're trying to decode RED camera company business on their practices and marketing strategies ; )
    My contact with this company and the men behind is beyond our own 'online lives' if we can call it like that... LOL : )
    I placed money of mine and my partners in their product to match dozens of commercial contacts between two sides of a business relationship as natural as any other going on with other parties. Real money, euros and dollars, not even cryptos!
    : D
    I had the chance to attend several meetings promoted by the brand. In one of them in Rome I even brought with me 5% of the people who attended the event. One of them is today one of the most promises of Italian cinema of nowadays. A former colleague who I met in my Master in Rome more than two decades ago. A friend I am used to be with, even in family inner circles. Not the case of RED team members, never happened, but I can surely confirm I've had the pleasure to personally meet and even talk about life in general with a few of them, that is, off topic not necessarily camera related.
    As usually happens with people we meet in our course of life. In my case since Moscow where I lived to New Zealand where I've produced. Without mention several friends we have in common in real life.

    Very true. But they're also bringing new opportunities. Speaking of devil, this digital society we live nowadays has proportioned fresh connections to help our craft. Not only with open chances for business, artistic collaborations but also at a personal backyard. I've had the happiness to enjoy the arrival of new people to my life, sometimes at the distance of different time zones as happened with those coming across this RED project which developed new communities of users or from further online corners such as this one among other ones for sure : ) To be extended at a personal level whether when we have the joy to personally meet someone or as simple as a banal exchange birthday wishes. Well, one of my industry partners has two children, impossible to have occurred those particular two kids if not along the advent of so riddling and ambiguous Internet... LOL : -P
