Somebody discovered the h.265 softness issue is a variable bitrate bug. With Nlog its too low. It should be 320Mb/s but its 32Mb/s. They forgot a zero 🙂

For now as a Nikon shooter, I am more inclined to shoot NRAW and do the renaming trick to R3D, than to shoot R3D as I am finding that the Nraw has more DR than the R3D and you can shoot the normal version that takes only about 370 mbs for 24 fps in 4k and 700 mbs for 6k. This is a little test of conversion of Nev to R3D. You have NEV (Nikon RAw), NEV but using the RED lut, Then the Nev to R3D renaming and finally the REDraw file. then  So I need to make a little bit more test, with skin tones etc, but they are quite close to me, even more so that even between the different red cameras like the Raptor and Komodo, their is some color difference. The yellow are a little bit more saturated and the image is a little more toward yellow in the Nikon ZR redraw R3D files. On side by side test the ZR was the more yellowish of the red camera. So it might balance out in the end. 

I see fair differences between them you've actually pointed out. Far to even be similar once converted unless when native perhaps, to my eyes :- )

The comments say Nikon has such great colours, but with LOG footage the colours are up to the user not the camera.

We can control H265 quality in Nikon Zr and results are not bad at all. Interesting, I've never heard anybody mention this.

They all look the same these cameras to me.

It's the same "Canon makes better skin tones" superstition among photographers while we could get whatever skin tones we wanted with raw files all these years, but this time among videographers. Now convenience is part of the color science tho. If the image is just two clicks away from their perception of pleasing colors, means the camera produces great colors.

Just on this forum, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of comments about this brand or that camera having terrible colors, awful skin tones, colorw impossible to match, and now everything depend on the user?

What did I misunderstand about your comments?

Here's a simple search for you.
