FilmMan Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Update for Kineraw. I got in touch with them. They are currently testing their S35 Camera. They are hoping for a May release in Mainland China. 2nd half of 2012 release for world is the hope. Price is anticipated to be $6K to $8K.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 28, 2012 Administrators Share Posted March 28, 2012 Great. I am in two minds over this. 1. Utterly support any indie camera manufacturer. They are needed more than ever. 2. A lot of money for a more gradeable image profile compared to the GH2. They have their work cut out but if the image is significantly more cinematic than a DSLR I will be getting one. Let's keep the Kineraw news coming on the forum. Cheers.

Dan Hudgins Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 The KineRAW-S35 (tm) second prototype is now in field testing in China, I've been making some monitoring tables for the camera's viewfinder to use during field testing. There are now three copies of that prototype, one for lab use, one in field testing in China, and a third that is to be used for calibration and test footage. There may be some changed in the production cameras based on what is learned from use of these first working test cameras. I have four videos from the KineRAW-S8p (tm) prototype on Vimeo now, and am working on two more videos to post when I get them finished, #A2 shot 2592x1104x12bit@24.000fps http://vimeo.com/33997025 #B1 shot 2592x1104x12bit@24.000fps http://vimeo.com/35148088 #C1 shot 1828x1558x12bit@24.000fps anamorphic squeeze 2:1 for 2.35:1 http://vimeo.com/38907938 #D1 shot 1920x1440 cropped to 1920x817 and letterboxed into 1920x1080 for hand held http://vimeo.com/40921094 I posted the fourth Vimeo video, D1, showing some hand held footage made with the KineRAW-S8p (tm), you can read my text on that video's page for more information about how it was done and the 1920x817 crop from 1920x1440 shooting mode used. The current thinking for the MSRP would be around $6000-$8000 for the S35 and $1500-$2000 for the production version of the S8 which may have a sensor about twice as fast and higher resolution than the prototype used to make the vimeo videos so far. If you would like to see some still frames from the uncompressed BMP used to make those videos you can email me at: tempnulbox [at] yahoo [dot] com with 'EOSHD user wants frames' in the subject line.

Dan Hudgins Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Thanks for the offer to help out, send me an email to: tempnulbox [at] yahoo [[dot] com with "EOSHD member would like to help with shooting tests". == There are now some sample clips from the KineRAW-S35 (tm) being field tested in China. I have one in San Francisco also for doing some calibrations, if you would like to help with tests you can also get a close up look at it with the current firmware maybe. Anyway, here is some footage to look at and play with from the KineRAW-S35 (tm) second prototype. Sample MOV and Cineform â„¢ along with matching 3D-LUT are free to download at links in this posting, as are photos of the KineRAW-S35 â„¢ second prototype in field testing in China now, http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?260134-Chinese-2K-RAW-S35-Cinema-Camera-8000-dollars&p=1986151837#post1986151837 Quote: [There are 720p H.264 mov for downloading: http://115.com/file/e7jl12ad#final-422hq-QuickTime-H.264.rar There are some Cineform RAW footages for downloading: Clip1: http://115.com/file/c2exeutq#clip1.rar Clip2: http://115.com/file/bemsmxgt#clip2.rar Clip3: http://115.com/file/dpk7t4vt#clip3.rar The Cineform (tm) player is here, http://cineform.com/gopro-cineform-decoder Quote: [Here are links for Low-Contrast Rec709 LUT. 1. daylight-160.look: http://115.com/file/c2elxws7#daylight-160.look 2. daylight-160.cube: http://115.com/file/dpkn5su4#daylight-160.cube Speedgrade NX, Firstlight can use .look file, while Da Vinci Resolve uses .cube file.
