    Anyone heard anything about Braw? I eber reading they were hoping to get it out before the end of the year - but not sure if it was an official comment or some random making things up.

    With Xmas in a week, I imagine it's either before the weekend or after the new year. 

     

    Did they mention a pre xmas release date?

    I also hear the same sentiments from bmpcc owners. So is this a unique Blackmagic micro look or all the older Blackmagic cameras produce a better look & feel than the current P4K?

    Something In between the UM4.6K  and the Production 4k. This is what the UM4Ki image should have been like . Personally, I like it. This image ticks both boxes, Doc look, Film look and its more versatile

    A lot of the first footage from the camera was hand-held and had that shaky look. I'm not a fan of it (which is why I got the GH5) but it's an aesthetic that some people like I guess. It also depends on how shaky you are, if you practice a lot then you can get gimbal-like results from lens IS, but you'd have to work at it.

    I think working out what aesthetic elements you like and don't like is a big part of film-making. I've worked out that I don't like non-stabilised hand-held, but I do like wide apertures, wide DR and the inaccuracies involved with MF are also kind of charming in a human/imperfection kind of way.

    It's an art after all, not a science :)

    People need to learn how to grip dslr like cams for smooth shots. There are so many techniques . The strap stretched with a pistol handle. does the trick

    Got my cam today FINALLY!. not bad for a 1 month wait.

    I agree.  $2000+ for the camera, when you can actually (pre-)order it for $800 less?  Might as well get a Canon C100 or the Ursa and be done with it.  Like some others, not in no rush to get it.  Wait until all pre-orders are done for it to sell solid.  The camera itself is looking good so far.

    I think I might sell mine once it arrives.

    Make some tidy profit.

    Has anyone tried out the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 g2 with the BMP4K? Looks like the perfect combo for handheld stuff to me. I came across some footage a while back and it didn't look like there was much lens breathing either (sorry footage link lost at the moment).

    I have this glass. Just waiting for my cam to arrive

    I watched a video yesterday from Tom Antos who commented that his Ursa Mini has colours that are right up there with Alexa.  What a wonderful world when the technology has closed the gap over time since the Alexa came out.

    When I was madly googling how to colour match various cameras, I found quite a few examples of large productions using small consumer cameras for crash cams or difficult locations etc.  

    @Emanuel is half-way there with the comment about wide deep DoF shots, like using GoPros as crash cams and only having them in the edit for <1s, but they can also be used in far more situations too.  Any time the image is stylised is fair game.. POV shot of someone on drugs, underwater shots, those shots in a sink looking up at the water streaming down onto glass, macro shots, daylight shots, the list goes on.  There are mods for GoPros that change the lens out to be less wide and have adjustable focus for DoF, there are those EF adapters for mobile phones that focus the lens on ground glass, etc etc.

    1" sensor is more likely to equal wide and deep DoF if you've got a small budget and little time, but if you're on a Hollywood production then you'll have time to test cameras, modify them, and do all sorts of things to get the shots you need.  Then you can give them to your colourist who can actually match them properly.

    Nah..  skin tones look all plasticy!

    Well it's a plastic doll. Duuh

    Quite honestly, given the choice, I'd never shoot at ISO 6400 again with the X-T2.

    And even if the X-T3 was every bit as good as the X-T2 in low light, I'd avoid shooting above ISO 3200.

    Colors are better at base ISO, noise isn't obtrusive.

    Here's a skin tone test I did at ISO 400. Sorry for the music!

    awful music. 

    beautiful image.  colors and detail. Better than the gh5.

    Bright conditions + wide apertures require very strong ND to control exposure and many ND filters don't block IR as well as visible light which the sensor can pick up and cause a colour shift in dark tones. Naturally you can also stop down the lens but then you may as well get a native M43 lens.

    I'm not seeing anything that couldn't be done with a GH5 or GH5s and a (heavy) grade - apart from the 4k 60p internal. 

    Better colors , more filmic

    kinda surprised nobody has mentioned the elephant in the room: 1DX2 hasn't got C-Log. or peaking. or 10-bit. For $6K i find that hard to overcome. We're almost talking C200 price range..

     

    That's why I said image straight out the can. If you are looking for a cam that does that juicy rec 709, mojo etc. It does it best.

    Focus peaking is irrelevant when you have dpaf.

    Tbh. 8/10bit for canon c-log is not robust enough. I hated using it on the 1DC.
