ND64

At the moment the best lens to body ratio in the market is like 1.7, and a lot of that is standing on the shoulder of kit lenses. Having third party option is good, but majority of people don't buy many lenses to begin with.

Horrible line skipping in Full HD. Pleasing noise in Angle of View Priority mode.

Compared to A7IV

Thats scary response. But I hope its due to another half baked firmware, like the one they released for A7IV.

Meanwhile Sony dropped the price of FX2 in China and now its only $2350. A7V is $2550.

I think its related to the IP behind partially stacked tech. People believe just because Sony Semi makes the sensor, they own all the IP, but its not true. At the moment there are three flavor of this tech, Nikon has the fastest one, Panasonic owns the one with highest DR, and Sony uses a version between those two. And maybe they have no license to use the best one in a video oriented body, yet.

Yea, its 13.5 stops after 7k>4k oversampling and AI processing. Pixel level DR should be 12 ish.

So Apparently A7V is semi stacked but without Z6III DR shortcomings (they would consist in 16 stop in marketing material to say "our semi stacked has no downside", otherwise 16 stop is impossible without NR). Video is 4k60p but 1.5x crop at 4k120.

Finally someone used trees as resolution test chart instead of his own face

This is Z6iii, but maybe Sony cameras have similar IC for boot.

The probability that Sony answers your question is near zero, but if enough people send emails, maybe they release a lame corporate response. Have you seen those TikTok videos the guy ask his fellow mechanics in their shop "which car brand you would never buy?" and all of them say Audi/BMW? Similar thing exists in camera repair community and they would say Sony.

For comparison its his ZR test At 0.1 High S/N ratio, DR is 6 stops. In his R6III test its only 3. Not only he is not curious at all why its so low, but doesn't even notice the drastic fall of it (from 8.26 to 3.04). As a reviewer I would dig into the data. I seriously feel he's not interested about what he's doing anymore. He's like "AF is good". What? How you tested that? Where is the evidence that its good? Canon website says its good, what else you know? And good for who? and why people should pay near $3k to have "good AF" when their current camera already has good AF? I assume R6III AF is "better" than R6II, but I need to see the evidence in practical situations. That's the job of someone who reviews gears for living.

Suddenly Gerald finds no problem in DR and 10 stops is good enough to declare "cameras peaked".

People fight over who has closer DR and latitude to Alexa 35, then apply a LUT that drops the DR to 6 stops to look like Heat 1995.

Nothing beats a jet2 holiday.. I mean Chinese prices. Brand new S5II for only $1100

I wonder why they didn't use this sensor for Burano. FX6/9 target market is mostly ENG and documentary and events and weddings and things like that. None of them doing this stuff say I want 8k30 from 12k sensor. Why not give them A9iii global shutter sensor in a lighter body than fX6 and modern menu with a bigger screen?

I guess the third base ISO is just the second base but with heavy noise reduction, as its called Enhanced Sensitivity.

8k30p with oversampling and 8k30p in Super35. 16 stops of DR with triple base ISO.

Streamlining the regional division is an internal matter and shouldn't send uncertainty message to customers. But regardless of the recent event, its been known for years that they are more inclined to jettison businesses that don't make money or see no growth in horizon rather than saving a struggling business with god knows how much debt. Is it? Hollywood has audience problem, not a money problem. The number of shoot days in Los Angeles decreased, but its only in TV/Commercials, which is not necessarily a Arri market. Feature film shoot days are actually increasing.

They're already closing down their pro services, and no way they invest in a zero growth business when they kill their own zero growth businesses. Canon can't do it. That would be all against their ego. They and their customer base believe Canon color science is best in the world, and thats why they have 50% market share. They're like "we ain't need nobody". Sony will have a integration nightmare if they do it. Arri systems are in conflict with the whole Sony line up. Also it would be an official admission that the electronics/AV giant couldn't get the color science right and eventually had to go shopping. Nikon acquisition of RED unintentionally made this perception that its a preferred approach in Tokyo. But it isn't. Nikon had to choose between two costly options and the acquisition was cheaper. In China, its only DJI who can gain a lot with Arri reputation in its arsenal, but I don't think Germans are comfortable with giving away this German icon to Chinese. Zeiss would be the perfect owner. A German brand with enough money, so the brand stays in the country, and they're heavily invested in high end part of the cine market.

Nikon is going to add RED profiles to their image recipes. So any of recently released Expeed7 cameras can use that for both still and video. Flexible Picture Controls that you have to use to make these recipes doesn't support LUTs or curves. I wonder how close to RED colors they can go with that limited set of tools.

A7V specs just proves again how FX2 was an odd release. With fast read out speed and no crop 4k60 they just humiliates FX2 users. Its like they couldn't get rid of that slow sensor fast enough and made another body out of it at last minute. Hybrid camera market at $2k-3k range is very competitive. No camera maker afford to neglect this segment.

I wish someone in Nikon or RED explain what they did and what these codes actually do. NRAW show less purple noise at extreme underexposure but colors are all over the place. R3D NE is in a pool of purple noise, but colors are intact.

You shouldn't have copy pasted this part lol. Never seen one tankie with IQ above 85.

If Sony uses the FX2 sensor for A7V, R6III will be in good position.
