For anyone buying a Pocket or Micro for the first time - as well as those who already own them - there has been a challenge for a while now around buying new memory cards that actually work with them. I've been using a specific Sony one that is reliable but very pricey and not always readily available but I had some Kingston ones recommended to me that apparently fit the bill so I ordered one to try it out. EDIT >> Happy to report that it worked in ProRes and RAW without any dropped frames on both cameras, including the 3:1 RAW at 60fps on the Micro. Happy to report that it worked in ProRes and RAW without any dropped frames on both cameras in standard frame rates, but begins dropping frames at the 3:1 RAW at 60fps on the Micro but is OK at 50fps. << EDIT They are reasonably priced (sub €40 for the 256GB) and readily available from Amazon in different sizes up to 512GB. https://www.amazon.es/Kingston-Canvas-Select-Plus-SD/dp/B07YGYCR3V IMPORTANT > Please see @bjohn post following this one regarding long term reliability.

The the vast majority of the 250M budget of the latest 007 movie was spent on lighting, composition, blocking, camera movement, locations, sets. You could probably exchange the lens they used with almost any other lens and they would have shot great looking movie that would be completely ruined by 120hz “real motion” on some TV.

I'd say he was showing what can be done with the camera... Logically, you wouldn't raise the shadows in that shot because there is no light source behind him, so his back should have been shadowed... even silhouetted. And that's why it looks unnatural.

Now now, he's a camera reviewer who reviews cameras for making camera reviews, you have to keep a hold of your expectations! These are the same people that keep making endless "how to get cinematic images" videos but for some unfathomable reason keep talking about new cameras and higher resolutions when the people who actually make cinema have basically been using the same cameras for a decade.

DR is great but also really overrated. It's one of those things that really only matters to us video dorks.
