Looks like it's only a problem with the nisi vnd

Mark my words TicoRAW is a dead dodo

Nikon is all about R3D from now on and it will be on all their cameras in place of N-RAW which is going away.

Probably. But does anyone have a comparison between R3D and N-raw? the fact that N-raw files aren't split up and is 10-15 years newer is already an advantage 

The red guy already said in a YouTube video that they've licensed raw to all the major brands. We just haven't seen the releases yet.

My original question was about Sony's PDAF technology and if it was possible for Nikon to use it in a Red camera. Obviously, Nikon licenses it from Sony but do they pay an overall licensing fee to Sony for multiple cameras... or do they pay per sensor design/manufacture.

why do you think sony owns autofocus, or that nikon licences it from them?

Doesn't Nikon license their AF from Sony when they purchase their sensors? If that's the case, will future Red cameras have Sony sensors if they have AF?

Lol what. Only some of Nikon's sensors are Sony designed. Others like the z9 are designed by Nikon and then manufactured by Sony. 

I agree. we all know new cameras updates come on a regular-ish cycle, just be more upfront about it. I'm going to buy stuff from your company, just make it easy for me to plan. 

They're taking their sweet ass time releasing new cameras. 5 years since the z6. 

I'm shooting a wedding in a couple weeks and need another 2 cameras with log. I'd get a z8, but there's still no confirmation it's getting open gate or a new nlog with more dynamic range. 

Guess I'll have to waste time and money renting a couple more Fujis 

I'd prefer more MP, and the tilt screen from the Z8 instead of the flip from the ZF. But I'm probably going to get this anyway. Hopefully they bring open gate and a new log profile too. 

the z6/z6ii are pretty out of date tbh

Are you talking about the eoshd log thing.

It says "Gamma curve is similar to V-LOG / S-LOG / F-LOG style."

So you'll have to try a few 

and things like image stabilization on lens?

Does anyone know what the deal with lens corrections is if you're using an E to Z adapter?

Nikon is always conservative in specs, and they never do double jumps like 4k30 to 4k120p. 

Normally I'd agree, but the z9 was a surprising release. It depends if they keep that kind of thing going, or not. The z6iii is very overdue so it'd be disappointing if it's not a big step up from the z6ii or even Zf. 

It's going to be either this or the z8 for me. I'm very interested to see what the released camera is. And also depends on the rumoured firmware updates. 

I'd prefer a step up to around 30mp for stills, but if I'm honest 24mp is fine for 90% of what I do. 

Bit depth and dynamic range are different. Apparently n-log can only hold 13 stops. But tbf not many cameras are exceeding that anyway. 

They should put the IMX366AJK in the z7iii.

• 44.72 million pixels
• 26.15ps in still image mode
• 12-bit 8K videos at up to 30 frames per second

Who cares about 60mp. Looks like a capable sensor but step down from the z8/9 stacked. 

I am very interested on that rumour about a new Nikon log 

It's actually the easiest thing ever. You just input the colour space/ log curve the footage was shot in, and output whatever colour space and gamma curve you want. 

Can use it to go straight to rec709 or transform to arri log to use arri luts. 

You can now set the Nikon lenses to linear for manual focus btw 

Create sliders for basic tools that function in a similar way that they would in capture one. Exposure, wb, shadow, highlights, contrast, saturation, etc. 

Most of this exists in existing dctl's or even in resolve already but it's either not user friendly, or doesn't function in a way that's pleasing enough. 

I'm going to try hacking things together but I know I'll definitely need help. 

Do you have experience with dctl's? I'm attempting to make one when I have spare time 

I haven't used the z8 so I can't compare, but I haven't been impressed with the r5/ r5c that much tbh

Are you able to repost?

I've never used aces, but I can tell you that the correct cst inputs are ARRI LogC3 and rec2020. 

Open gate is a killer feature. A better log curve would be a huge bonus too. Especially if it apes Arri the same way Fuji did. A lot of people seem lost on how to get the most dynamic range out of the files in post.
