No this is not the point where DNG "fails". I am happy to grade in sRGB just as I am happy to grade any sRGB 14bit RAW photo file in Adobe Camera Raw. I never open a RAW photo in Lightroom and think "damn this limited colour gamut, it looks terrible, what a failure..." You guys really need to come into the real world and stop bitching.

Resolve was made for Cinema DNG. Of course it works. Blackmagic are implying it is a pain to use the Sigma Fp's raw with Resolve. Of course it isn't. They just don't really want it to be a thing or to support it in any way. Doesn't take a genius to work out why.

Some Blackmagic shills keep floating ridiculous conspiracy theories on here about my experience with the Pocket 6K, and even that I never used the camera! Time to put some facts straight then... It came damaged brand new from the cellophane. Here's proof: Shiny and sealed, ZERO damage to the pristine box or any signs of "rough courier handling": Here is the scratch mark on my sensor And here is me having to urgently clean the brand new sensor before setting off to the Italian Grand Prix at Monza: And finally here is me returning the actual Pocket 6K to Blackmagic at IBC in order to talk about the issues I had... And there is apparently an audio recording and further material from this encounter. Who wants to hear it?

The box was sealed with the original cellophane. It hadn't been used in the store. It came from the store shelf brand new. They have two locations for stock - the showroom, and the central warehouse. I paid full price. Futhermore, they always clearly mark ex-demonstration or "used" goods on the website and reduce the price. They were a reputable dealer, one of the largest in the Netherlands, not some shady red-light district illegal one

Why shoot vertical video on a phone when you have a RED Dragon?

Hope he has a good aim. He might break the neighbour's window. And the neighbour would be even more pissed off after they find it has no 10bit codec to protect the FX9.

You better take yourself back to FuckwitsRUs for a FULL refund Harry. Clearly a faulty brain.

Like the rape movie?

It is a shame to users battling Resolve here with this camera. If Resolve is out there as a serious NLE to replace Premiere, and it is... I frankly expect universal compatibility and I expect far more from Blackmagic to work with companies like Sigma in providing that better level of recognition for their RAW files. We all know why they don't. Blackmagic clearly sees RAW on the Fp as a threat to their camera division. This thread is getting really bogged down by the way with long running and incredibly dry technical stuff. I would like to see the conversation get more broad as there is a lot more to the Sigma Fp than just Resolve. Maybe it's time to split the topic into one for the camera, and one for Cinema DNG in Resolve.

Keep your eyes pealed for camera announcements from Saturday through Monday. This was originally the NAB show 2020 (11-14th) If we don't get an A7S III next week, we can assume we may never!

I like eccentric characters and dreamers. Berlin in the old days was full of them. I think Ketch is a character that deserves further investigation and exploration. It is not a witch hunt. It isn't a circus. It's just banter and I don't think myself or BTM_Pix or anyone else in the filmmaking community should have to seek approval from Ketch. It's freedom of speech and freedom of Photoshopping Joe Exotic's hair. At the same time, if somebody very purposefully puts themselves into the limelight so knowingly, trying to make money or a film out of coronavirus, they have to expect the attention. Personally I only see the comedy of it! You're right, it is harmless.... But somewhat hilarious as well. A cheerleader, slasher, coronavirus movie!?

Hah where to start. Somebody should do a documentary on the guy, Tiger King style.

Looks like slasher Ketch has found a way to snare some teen cheerleaders on webcams.

Do you remember the translucent mirror phase detect AF adapter for Sony A7S... Gave the camera phase-detect AF with the old SLR lenses... That's what the L mount cameras need ;)

The demand for higher quality webcams just increased. Also, better quality laptop webcams (but problem is the thin lid, most are even thinner than a smartphone) But main issue is the online part... All compressed to hell and ugly as hell. Especially Skype, Facetime, etc. Looking at the news, the other thing that needs to be fixed is the angle of the webcam. They all point up people's noses!

And you are still asking same question 2 years later! https://mavicpilots.com/threads/mavic-2-pro-gimbal-stabilizer.51558/ Silly Russian bot.

I think I understand why they do it. On some phones for example a 3x or 5x zoom is only achievable with a digital zoom and upscaling. On some it is assisted by longer optics AND digital zoom from higher resolution sensor. Well, it's an unfair comparison and it isn't... It does show up the phones that are limited compositions beyond 2x. It shows how much resolution they have in reserve for cropping too. Also digital zooms are a key part of the AI and image processing on all phones these days, much more of a key ability than on our pro stills cameras that are 42MP+ I wish they had compared it to the Mate 30 Pro. Also the shots in general seem less adventurous than previously. Maybe they had to do this review under lockdown. Which would be ironic as the guy who wrote up this DXO article is Lars Rehm, an ex-friend of mine who decided to point the finger at me when I posted the Barcelona empty street shots on Facebook... Rather than ask if I was ok being stuck in a pandemic... his chief concern was that I was encouraging people to take photos during an emergency and lockdown. What a twit. It would be funny if he then went out on the streets and took a load of photos himself with the P40 Pro

Can you show which sample shots they are comparing native vs digital zoom? I'll take a look

One of the largest sensors yet in a smartphone, with new AI RAW and more https://www.dxomark.com/huawei-p40-pro-camera-review/ Still using US parts despite blacklist...

I've not got an X-T4 yet but it looks very good. Although it's not quite the revolution people expected. I'd rather get an X-H2... Who knows if there will be one though. I always preferred the X-H1 and NX1 handling and ergonomics to the X-T3 / X-T4 style body. The latter are also really well built, superb pro quality high-end feel in the hand whereas the X-T series always felt a bit lightweight. X-T4 seems to have some subtle improvements ergonomically But the NX1 nailed the "mirrorless DSLR" feel in terms of responsiveness and direct control. The NX1 image is amazing in 4K, stands up very well in 2020 especially with the high bitrate hack. It can't really do ISO 6400 and above though. In many ways it was 4-5 years ahead of the game. It is also an exceptional stills camera. I wouldn't swap my NX1 for the X-T4. I'd buy the Fuji first and decide if I like it, then go back to the NX1 if not.

Shall we get to know each other a bit better so we can look beyond the opinion soup? How about I challenge you to a camera meet-up, forum style... 1. Show us a picture of your current most used camera and lens 2. Tell us a few facts about yourself! 3. What's your favourite music, favourite sport / team, other hobbies 4. What your hopes are for the future of EOSHD, what would you like me to cover - and the camera you are looking forward to most? 5. Tell me what you miss about your country and home town when you are not there 6. The year you first started reading EOSHD ***** To make each post easy to read please number the answers 1-6 ***** Go!

I think anybody using the internal preamps and 3.5mm jack will be recording very casual audio anyway So does the quality even matter that much?

There is however the Sony XLR-K3M XLR Adaptor Kit Would be interesting to see if that fixes the A7 III audio hiss. You can also add frequency cuts and other effects to clean up audio in post. So all is not lost for Sony users but definitely the worse of the bunch!

Another thread bites the dust.
