"FHD 60p mode in 2x digital crop" interesting. can you explain more about this mode? is this 1080p 60p, and you have 2x digital zoom? this mode supposes to be 2/3 sensor size, 224 mm2 / 4 = 58.5 mm2. why is this different from etc 2x?

now om-1/ii can do 120fps.

red is famous for high frame rate, high resolution. om-1 mk ii can do 120 fps for 200 frames, this is 8 seconds 120 fps 6k uncompressed 12 bit raw. om-1 can 120 fps for 100 frames, this is about 4 seconds of 120 fps 6k uncompressed 12 bit raw. image quality of om-1 /ii should be stunning. for music tv, commercial, etc, 120 fps 6k slow motion is well enough. when I say 4 seconds of om-1, it is 4 seconds of play back time in 24 fps.

I think your peak camera lies in taking videos in the most original mode. when video or movie was invented more than 100 years ago, movie cameras were motorized or manual operated to have 16 frames per second. They were motorized photo cameras taking each frame like a photo and taking 16 frames per second. Now, some cameras can do that. Like OM-1 can 120 fps for 100 frames, GH6/GH7 can do 60 fps for 200 frames, S5 2x 30 fps 200 frames, Z6 iii 20 fps for 1000 frames. These are true lossless raw, either 12 bit or 14 bit. They are the highest quality one can get even in a cinema video camera. Although 3-5 seconds, this is enough for many applications. For long events or meeting, nobody cares much about peak image quality. This is why I am eyeing OM-1 deals, as it can do this peak mode, also 10-bit FHD all-I 160 mbps up to 30 fps. With these two modes, plus the legendary ibis, I can keep the whole rig very small, yet reaching the level of Alexa Red Sony cinema cameras.

pannysvhs/sanve4er, fuck you. never mention me with this scammer Ebrahim Saalawi. if you are really a decent man, stop this by-topic and focus on gh7.

pannysvhs/sanveer, why should I prove myself to you? you are a big narcissist. fucking pussy.

pannysvhs/sanveer, are you nice people? I don't see anything here from your behavior. you mother fucker.

if you pannysvhs attack me personally, either use this alias, or the sanveer alias, you sacrifice much more than me. I make videos for my own YouTube channel. I don't need to please producers or directors or agency managers. I am based in North America, not in Europe. this forum is not my local community. I come here to know the latest hybrids, which is the forte of this forum. I can express whatever I think is right on video making here. it does not affect my real life at all. but you are different. this forum is your local community. some of the members may know you in person professionally. if you give an impression of attacking other members personally because they are not in accordance with your ideas on video making, you are in big trouble in your real life. if I am a producer or a director based in europe, I am not going to hire a dp who is going to bad mouth me and spread rumors about me if I can not please him professionally. you are losing real life job opportunities due to your bad behavior here on this online forum. sorry, pannysvhs/sanveer, you have more to lose to have a war against me. if you don't believe what I say, you can go on your personal attack on me. I will counteract your unprofessional behavior accordingly. you will be back burned. lol.

this guy uses pennysvhs to show his professionalism, and uses sanveer for personal attack. great separation. you'd better to use a third one to echo the sanveer, instead of using this pennysvhs one, as now this pennysvhs one is contaminated by this sanveer. people will doubt your professionalism starting from now.

is this pennysvhs another alias of sanveer? you two always show up at the same time, attacking me as this Egyptian scammer Dr. Saadawi. are you the same person behind the screen? I seriously think so.

dr. saadawi likes Panasonic, his alias may have panny in it. lol.

you started a topic before trying to say that I am this Egypt scammer Ebrahim Saadawi. when you say more you are accumulating more evidences against you in the future. you dumb ass.

do you know that I can initiate a libel law suit against you? you stupid fool. lol.

sensor technology is actually very difficult to improve. most camera companies are doing quick fixes. if customers like fast readout, longer battery life, less heat, then go from ccd to cmos, but then the color and global shutter are lost. if customers like low light, then make thin color array layer, then color is even worse. if customers want high resolution, then give them high res, but the pixel size is so small, a lot of issues occur. if customers want high dr, no problem, but you have to sacrifice mid tones, etc. finally, you realize that it is not an improvement, it is a look, with pros and cons associated with it.

if it is a sunny day and you shoot at the noon, you can put up a canopy on top of those two beauties. Or drag those two ladies to some shade. There are ways to handle high dr.

This was shot on the first generation of red one sensor. It has very narrow dr according to the current standard. The sensor is tuned for skin tones. Can latest sensors do similar skin tones too?

why do you want to put on a lens adapter to make a lens softer on a very sharp camera? instead, you can put a sharp lens on a high quality 1080p cinema camera?

fantastic results, actually. you convinced me to buy the om-1. I will look for some deals during the Christmas season. thanks a lot for the help. you work on the train is also interesting.

by my experience, high dr is needed for situations like half shading and half sunlit face. for many common situations, 11-stop dr is good enough. for extreme cases, lighting can help to reduce dr, or moving the subjects to another venue. dr is important, but not that much weight like current thinking.

no. c100 mk ii dr is not as good as latest mirrorless.

most high end cameras with integrated battery grip have higher internal voltage than cameras with no battery grip, so faster af and some other features due to the higher internal voltage. add-on battery grip is better than no but not as good as integrated battery grip.

generally speaking, I think om1 video image quality is good enough for general usage. if carefully executed in acquisition and in post processing, the footage can be put on a theatre screen without much concern. as by my experience, a laptop screen with a viewing distance of 1 foot or a desktop 4k screen with a viewing distance of 2 feet, is more demanding than sitting in the middle of a commercial theatre watching the large screen.

uhd 50p 10 bit and fhd 50p 10 bit are the same to my eyes. no significant difference. if these are handheld shots, they are excellent. nobody will doubt that these shots are on tripod. uhd 25p 10 bit is almost the same as uhd 50p and fhd 50p, except that when cars move into the scene from the right to the center, when the cars enter, I can see minor jumpy feelings sometimes. the 50p modes have smooth car movements. om1 dr seems good. the sky and the clouds seem nice. thanks a lot for the testing footage. regards,

this is why I like to use c100 mk ii. I use it without the top handle xlr module at all. it has nd, good grip, angled evf, lcd, double recording. with some tuning, it can be sharp enough even by today's standard, as it is a 4k sensor. not much larger than a modern mirrorless if you put addons to it.
