That does look really nice tho

Looked at it again and I can't tell haha

From the comments it sounded like the GH5 was the main camera with the XT2 as a b cam.

CineD for dynamic range, natural for color

Yeah, in the shadows probably. The XT2 is slightly cleaner than the XT3. Its why I find tests like Cinema 5D does not that useful. In a practical over under they would probably look identical, only the XT3 codec is way more robust.

https://***URL not allowed***/the-cinema5d-camera-lab-is-back-dynamic-range-tests/ Cinema 5D says its 10.6 while the FS7 is 12 stops. They tested the GH5 at 9.7 stops and the OG BMPCC at 11.2 stops. I find over under tests much more useful.

Won't the A73 likely be very similar to the A7S2 certainly not higher.

Yeah I am pretty sure the current version of lightroom is pretty decent. I just did a comparison between converted DNG's to Fuji RAF files in lightroom. There was a difference but only visible when cropping in and it wasn't that noticeable even then. Yes the external recording is completely different. It uses Prores data rates which are a lot larger than the 150mbps internal(I believe its 150mbps?). A single minute of ProRes UHD file (3840 x 2160) is around 5.3 GB (880 Mbits/s) That is the nice thing about compressed codecs, Fuji's 400mbps is half the data rate. I do like full frame, which is why I have been using a speedbooster a lot on the Fuji. Though I have to say the 50mm f2 and 23mm f2 get nice bokeh for most situations when I need auto focus.

Yeah I really don't like using anything longer than 50mm on a gimbal(M43). That said its definitely a bummer when tech gets worse rather than better. Maybe its improved for photos but doesn't translate well for video.

Lots of vintage Nikon glass that does the job. I had my eye on the 55mm 3.5

Well his point that it holds dynamic range better than the other profiles is true. But yeah I kye is right he's confused by the HLG looking clip in FCPX

that was lovely

This was shot all on the GH5 and XT2. Looks pretty amazing.

Is it the card you used?

Its possible because the the external recorder is doing all the work not the camera itself. The internal recording is a big plus for me. Internal 10 bit at 400mbps is crazy good C300 mk2 territory. That said I find 200mbps perfectly fine for anything I've ever used. Also I've found the Sandisk V30 cards handle 400mbps. I just don't like the extra bulk. As far as stills I've never noticed any issue of sharpness. Could be an Xtrans sensor issue if you are using lightroom. People recommend converting the files to DNG or using another program like capture one. I shoot jpegs a lot.

I would think any moderately honest person would return gear with a phone number on it? Seems like a good idea though.

Yeah just read that is an option too. Good idea

Looked amazing in that video. Really nice and smooth focus transition. Would like to see if it can handle very shallow DOF and of course high backlit conditions.

opps my bad, I got the videos mixed up, the Nikon looks better. At f8+/ ND1.2 the Fuji takes a big drop and the Nikon comes out ahead.

Its decent on my PC, better than Vegas Pro. Yeah that is faster, wasn't sure how to do it until you layed it out, thanks. To bad you can't apply the effect to the entire track. I'll have to see if I can transcode my files to full range. transcode to legal range I mean***

Ah that makes sense, interesting.

For anyone interested the method I ended up using was adding the Fast Color Corrector tool in Video Effects under Obsolete. I changed the Output Black Level to 16 and the Output White Level to 235. Both transcoded prores and original H265 files look the same now (no more blown highlights and crushed shadows).

Uh, I don't think there is a crop unless shooting at 120fps. I think its Blackmagic not B&H, they have always been very fast for me.

Testing this on mine I'll let you know if it works.

The highlight retention looks the same. XT3 does look quite a bit better in the shadows though.
