What it brings is FF and what it has over Mini LF is few main things: 5.8K90p/6K/8K60p, Dual-Base ISO & Rialto.

Rialto is kind of a game changer, allowing the lens to decouple from the body:

 

Αrri has done that before bring Alexa mini. Noone liked that

Eh, when you look at the truly high end, the movies which win Oscars and such, then RED is very much underrepresented vs ARRI. 

And when you look at the overall big big picture of films that are shot (not just only the ones which win Oscars, but say look at everything that is shot with a budget of more than say $5M or $10M), then once again, RED gets shot on "lots", but still RED is very much underrepresented vs ARRI. 

 

Studios are not really wellcoming working their projects on 8k especially for feature films where the files are really enormus.

Many studios that priority one for them  is giving their films  feature proof by having the largest possible resolution prefer using RED for that reason.

Since Arri just released their first trully 4k camera and following that rythm they will touch 8k not really soon, RED will continue to play in that field for all those reasons

 But talk to any high end DOP and they will tell you RED is bottom of the barrel for cine cameras. I don't think I have ever heard one positive thing about RED cameras from people who work in higher end productions.
 

Sure

That's why so many films that costs hundrends of million dollars use them.

Sounds like You ought to practice what you preach. You do realize that this is his railroad. You are lucky it is not mine. 

You have to be pretty stupid to poke the guy that owns it, like him or not

It's not poking it's my opinion.

If he doesn't like that he couls surpass that easily as i do with opinions like those.

Not in the slightest bit surprising to me.

There is a big market for consumer advice and shopping television.

Why would I be jealous of a shopping television presenter masquerading as a filmmaking guru?

Not jealous of Bloom the narcissist personality disorder Sky cameraman either in case you're wondering.

Well on my opinion if not be jealous on them concentrate on what makes you happy and most of all better on your job and don't spend energy on those you believe they have nothing to offer in comparison with you.

He is basically a marketing guy.

327K subscribers on his channel.  They can't be all idiots and you alone have identified his true nature 😀

Jealous ? 

BM were not fools to abandon that raw of their first Bmpcc4k to have their Braw.

They knew what was coming. I can't understand why Nikon could't.

My Sigma Fp-L is coming tomorrow so we'll see how accurate a reviewer Gerald is 🙂

this is something that audience decides not someone alone. 

I would love to be a master chef and all people watching that to love my cooking advices in youtube but if the comments are negative I would understand that I am not the right person for that . 

And visa versa

People seems to love him for the way he communicates his reviews as also prefer to watch and advise from him.

You're right apart from one thing. Gerald isn't a professional photographer. He isn't even an amateur photographer.

He is great reviewer

Nearly perfect hybrid camera said the Sony guy.

Not bad assuming that he didn't like the R5

Ahh come on real men can carry 5 or 6 V Mount batteries at a time. One is not going to kill you. Sounds like you want a Barbie Cam. 😁

 

Barbie cameras are available.

Barbie cameras that shoot 8κ not many 

Sony A1 (that someone could compare with) is 50% higher in price and shoots obviously in lower bitrate and with inferior capabilities in video image.

I really don't get why they do not make an optional battery grip that would give the right power, it is annoying the external power requirement. As the DC coupler works there is no limitation on the battery compartment to get enough power in....

I would agree on that issue if all cinematographers in this planet would't choose an external battery for power up their camera 

Some times half sized from their cameras .

So you want to act as a professional and shoot your job at 8k ?  Act like one and do what all do.

The fact that in this camera is a excellent photo camera that can be used with internal battery as all of its kind it's a bonus.

I would love to see a comparison between a braw BM camera and the new Raw light of C70 as well

Maybe I'm alone here but I totally embrace 8K. Can think of quite a few practical uses for it. If you don't need it you always got oversampled 6K/4K.

Exactly.

We can't ignore the image results even if at the moment our post production cannot handle that easily.

What is the point of 8K exactly?!

Τhat was exactly the question back when 4k appeared with Red One .

I really believe that when you belong to a proffesional cast you should never leave suspicions about your competitors. What you need to do is do your job as best you can and that will be what will bring your customer / viewer to you instead of your competitors.

It is called professional discretion.

I would never allowed such a thread to my crown/forum.

I thought he bought several Sony A7Siii's after reviewing one?

I don't follow that closely so could be wrong...

 

It doesn't matter.

If he decided that for his kind of jobs that camera suits him fine why not ? 

I don't have a problem to use any kind of camera in my job. 

But I will rarely pretend  that a camera suits me if it will cause me more problems than  using  a more suitable solution.

Sigma FP L is a fine camera from a superb company and I really hope that they will try improve that in the future and not abandon that project.

But this specific camera is not of any really professional usefall use as it is.

Gerald is very much a Sony man these days, but nothing wrong with that or his channel, - I watch it quite a bit, respect the guy and don't feel I am ever being sold anything or channelled anywhere and don't begrudge him making a living.

 

I wouldn't say he is a Sony guy. 

He is using BM cameras as well and he seems always loyal to simplicityon working sets.

He offered not to release his opinion on FP-L as he knew that he couldn't hide the truth he discovered.

That's very fair for him and honorable for Sigma that didn;t try to cover up his gray opinion.

I trully respect him.

I don't get why he went so negative on it.

Overall, there aren't many RX1 sized cameras with interchangeable lenses and the latest 61MP full frame sensors.

On the video side, not many full frame cameras do internal Cinema DNG without Magic Lantern's help either.

Because he feels that wat I suppose.  Since he realises all those negatives specs according to the price why not tell that ? 

He is not working for them. I feel gratefull that there are few like him to stand really neutral on marketing .

Anyway he proposed which is the right way for this camera to have a chance in market. Sigma has to  drastically decrease price as at this range there are better cameras to spend your money.

Too thick and bulky.

They could build a thinner option .

Maybe admins could rename that thread in order we could locate  that more easily ?
