Video Hummus

First video is all about lighting. 90% of that was the lighting with the 10% the grade. You could have graded it in multiple directions, cool, warm, or dark and moody. Last 10% is stylistic in my opinion. Second video is a better test of dynamic range. It’s just Good. Not great, but not shit either. Considering its coming from DSLR type camera its more than acceptable. Maybe Clog3 will give it a bit more for that extra edge. For someone that just wants to pick up a camera and shoot with very little fuss in post the R5/6 are great. Best in class even. That’s the appeal.

It’s ALL-I so a higher bitrate does a bit more than if it was IPB. H.265 IPB is very efficient at the same bitrates of H.264 for 4K and above. I always thought the 400Mbps H.265 from the XT3/4 was a bit excessive. It’s diminishing returns at 4K resolution. Definitely at 3.3K. Really wish someone would give us a editing friendly codec internally. H.265 and newer is becoming to heavy for a capture codec as they are maximizing size for streaming and delivery and encoding times skyrocket (decoding too). The work on BRAW has shown us that we can have non-compromised capture AND wicked fast editing performance.

That test was brutal. That kind of heat not good for batteries.

The aggressive over reaching patent is the reason for the success in my opinion. I think now that BRAW is reaching and exceeding what R3D is we will see how long they last. Its fine paying 35K+ for a red camera that nothing else can do...thats not the case anymore.

With stock there are multiple options. I’m sure offering source BRAW and a ProRes 444 is common. @Neumann Films? Yep good idea. RED probably won’t. They have a defacto monopoly on “internal compressed RAW capture device”. In my opinion where BM is sneaking the dagger in is with BRAW and Resolve. The G2 Pro is just a Trojan horse. They want you on their ecosystem. It would be in BMs best interest to get BRAW into a prosumer mirrorless camera as soon as possible. It’s coming to the Sigma fp, it’s on the EVA1 externally. Say Panasonic released a GH6 or a S2 with internal BRAW. Yeah it may hurt Pocket sales, but I don’t think so. The trade off of getting people excited and interested in BRAW (and selling $300 DaVinci licenses) with a lot of those sales is worth it. It’s the bigger picture in fighting REDs dominance in the compressed RAW cinema camera arena. If your ‘re not renting this camera out and your jobs won’t take a hit from not showing up with a RED label on your camera then the G2 Pro is a no brainer. But they are ugly ass cameras if that matters.

Not what I’m talking about, but whatever. This is waste of time.

Have you even watched the BM video? They are doing in sensor scaling of a 3x3 bayer array. That gives you 4:4:4 4K output from the sensor. The image is as nice or nicer than anything you can shoot with now.

I think there is 4K120p R5 footage available in one of the many R5 threads. Good luck finding it.

I seriously doubt anybody buying a 12K camera is buying it because they can now show audiences a 12K feature film. 12K opens up other possibilities. I’m getting pretty sick and tired of the pervasive Luddite mentality being displayed on this forum. There is always going to be compromises with gear. It will either work for you or it doesn’t. You give feedback. You move on.

You act like they have to shoot in 12K.

Wasn’t Panasonic working on an 8K camera that you could use to to punch out multiple UHD angles? Here comes BM with a 12K that can punch out multiple 4K angles with one camera in the studio. I can seem them implementing something in DaVinci Resolve where you can track multiple subjects in a single 12K frame with smooth panning and closeups and edit in multi view like it was 4 different cameras. Take a cooking show for example. Only need one camera for a wide shot. Punch into waist level shot of talent, face closeup, working with food closeup. Just one camera and one operator and an assistant.

Did you know ajay that squarespace is the all in one platform for website building with award winning templates suitable for any kind of business? I kinda feel sorry for T&C to be honest. I rarely watch their stuff but it must be soul sucking make those videos.

Olympus was known for their quirky features. Nipple detect AF would have rounded out the starry AF feature. Maybe canon took a page from their book when they implemented brown eye AF tracking?

Yes, I changed my tune on the megapixel Grand Prix because advancements like this are win-win. I don’t need 12K, or 8K but a 4K image from a 3x3 bayer array 12K sensor....awesome. So the headline is 12K but the meat of the story is the awesome oversampled 8K and 4K output from this camera. Same with the R5. Headline is 8K but we finally have a Canon mirrorless camera with 4K, IBIS, and 10-bit 422. That’s a win and a step forward.

I agree. But I’m hoping a GH6 will have improved IBIS, the tweaked S1H color science and PDAF. All that with the usual reliability and unlimited recording we’ve come to love from GH cameras. Too bad the IBIS doesn’t work with the IS in the 12-100 on Panny cameras. They need a similar lens with IS!

Most of the threads end this way.

Just like we need more than 640K of RAM or a car that goes 180mph. If you don’t want that speed buy the Honda Civic. $10K for this? The Red Komodo is not looking so tasty anymore for the people in that market. $10K invest that will probably will spread out over 8 years (If the body doesn’t break!). I think this was a smart move. The 6K pocket Pro can come later. Hopefully with more compelling features for handheld solo shooters.

That it’s a Sony sensor. If it’s a non Sony sensor, I think it highlights the importance, that at least blackmagic thinks, of shopping around or working with another sensor manufacturer other than Sony.

You might still get either from blackmagic or another brand.

What a crazy year (in more ways than one), and it’s not even over. R5/6...A7Siii...GH6 (expected)...Z6/7S

Sounds like a wildlife videographers dream.

What sensor is it using?

How about a RasPi challenge? Build, then film something with it.
