Did anyone managed to output LOG to the atomos ninja? I did connect the a7sIII to the ninja, the ninja input shows 4.2kraw, and the gamma is on Native. But It the image is Linear and record Linear while on the A7SIII monitor shows (correctly) Slog3... I've been in contact with both Sony and Atomos (tech support not Knowledgeable )...

First of All, Thank you Andrew for the amount of work, time and passion that you put in all your reviews. Not only is instructive for newbies but also very informative for professionals. Bravo. About the SL2 vs S1h: Video > could you test highlights handling of the two cameras? Latitude on the highlights? > SL 2 more issue , maybe doing a test with/wothout a 1/4 Hollywood BM if you have it. > Compressed video vs external recorder any noticeable difference in grading/ high iso. > S1H color science difference/ latitude handling difference (I mean allocation of stops to highlights, shadow) when recorded internally vs raw output with Atomos Prores. > SL 2 Rolling Shutter. PHOTO > what is the max shutter speed usable in multi shot mode/high megapixel for both cameras. (aka could that mode be used in studio for a fashion shoot using continuous light not strobe?). I know all of this is a lot to ask but if you have a chance it'd be great. Thank you again Ciao

Hi All, let me introduce myself, I'm a professional photographer and film director, been working for the last 20 years and assisted before. I come from film, some of our video productions were shot indie, some with proper budget and some in super35 film. Few opinions about the eva-1 footage. I was expecting more, and if this is not the final product they should have waited a little bit more to show footage. In specifics, the DP either messed up the exposure (hard to believe as it's a panasonic infomercial) or the camera, when exposed to the right, has a bad response on shadows? Otherwise it would not make any sense having those almost clipped highlights. Unless that's the way this camera handle the DR on the highlights. I feel that all pros and movie lovers that in order, want a cool toy to experiment or a tool to be able to properly start into visual story telling, need a machine that handle well highlights and deliver a motion that resemble film. If documentary/occasional narrative is the goal, then the c300MKII, or the newly c200 (fantastic raw footage, great toy) it's the best choice. We can all agree that the reference camera for narrative is the Alexa (not a fan of Red even if dragon is better than the past). In fact I was having this conversation with my DP, and good friend, who helped Arri in the Alexa development from the d21. The conversation was about the fact that very few cameras produce a footage that resemble film, the makers seems not to get, or care, that highlights handling and motion should be the priority. This camera, in this first clip, seems to fail to give that organic (as they call it in all this forums) look necessary to recall 35 or super 16. The last little camera that was delivering that feel i played with was the little black magic pocket, it felt like going back to the sr3 years on 500 film. I was more impressed by the flexibility of the c200 raw footage. You can edit in mp4 and then proxy the raw footage. About the eva, they probably don't want to kill the LT market which is barely 6k more expensive, but a real pro level camera. Have a great weekend all, Best
