I'm guessing that they would probably bring 10-bit along with the log profile by way of a firmware update.

The GoPro looks bad in comparison in low light, and not as impressive in most other scenarios. https://youtube.com/watch?v=BJx84Or3Rao

They'll find cinematographers who pan cameras around continuously, until audiences feel nauseatic. Then mentioned the absence of rolling shutter. Cinematography be damned 😎

Interesting sensor, even more than Interesting camera. Sony will probably put in the next version of the Venice and price it similarly to the new Alexa35. Even with the reduced dynamic range. Also, suddenly, I am very curious, can Sony make a 2-Layer Transistor Pixel technology sensor with GS, finally solving issues with the dynamic range. @androidlad do you know any such sensor in the offing?

Should have. Sony usually doesn't share its best sensors with others. And they have a particularly bad disdain for Panasonic 😁😁😁

That's so true. It's like the diacussion in one of the threads about overheating in ILCs. Companies need to get serious about heat management. Especially in any camera above $1000.

Almost all major prosumer Sony cameras overheat I guess. Maybe the ones where the node size is too large, that lacks a heatsinks, or fan or some other issues. Sony doesn't care for overheating. This one shoots 120fps at 24MP, but for only 1.5-1.6 seconds or something. Guess that means that their RAM isn't really huge. Also, it could probably be used to cook in the winters during shoots 😁

"Shutter speed is freed from the limitations of conventional mechanical shutter image sensors and achieves a maximum shutter speed of 1/80,000 second (1/16,000 second during continuous shooting), making it possible to capture at high speed without any distortion." Powering the camera is the Bionz XR processing engine, promising eight times more power than the a9 Mark II’s processor." INSANE !!! I thought 1st April arrived late or early.

I read somewhere that D-Log M is a terrible version of a regular profile, masquerading as a log profile (D-Log). DJI should just release a firmware update for proper D-Log for the Pocket 3. The fake log profile probably has lighlights clipping and noticeable reduction in dynamic range.

My replies disappeared ...

Wouldn't anyone notice scenes with varying f-stops? Wouldn't the varying depth of field make continuity or sequence shots seem strange? Or its not really noticeable.

2x, 1.5x and No Crop means nothing. There are different zooms and prime to cover every focal length. I remember not too long ago, I used to watch TLC hedonistically, and hog on meat and drink like a camel and tiger mix, thereby turning into a fat pig. Many of the shows were presumably shot on the Canon 5D, and many of them were out of focus, or the depth of field was quite shallow, and thus most things appeared to be out of focus. Very Interesting. A slightly faster lens, at a shorter focal length may theoretically remove the depth of field advantage of Full Frame, whereas it would be a lot more difficult for FF to get the wider depth of field of smaller sensors.

Aaah ,very interesting. I thought it may be too small for attaching it. Maybe larger node sizes help with keeping costs low as well as helping with working with them outside of automated factories

I've always wondered whether Mobile SoCs can replace Rasberry Pi kindda computing units. The only issues I can think of is size, price (perhaps more applicable for the 8 Series Flagships) and easy availability. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 could be a great processor for something like a RAW shooting self made cinema camera. Though the SoC may be tiny and may not be as easily available over the counter, like in the case of Rasberry Pi kindda computing units. Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 may have less issues with heat as well as superb connectivity for uploading and sharing. I am just wondering. I have no idea about any of this.

Improved in Every Way, from a much larger sensor, twice as fast readout, twice as large lcd, log recording, semi articulating screen etc. Hope they keep the price the same or similar. This could do pretty well.

Its looking pretty exciting. Hope the sensor has been tuned like their drones. Also things like a hires photo mode, variable video bitrate option, and a few other goodies should make it a runaway hit. I wonder what the size of the new rotating screen is. Hope they have lens attachment options for ultrawide and anamorphic. This could be a killer pocket 3, if they get a few things right. This could be good enough to shoot the next $70 Million Feature on 😉

Pics?

Interesting, never thought of it like that. Then what about the Panasonic BGH1? Would a director have put a word for using that for a project too. I wonder how popular it was or is.

I was meaning the Netflix list. Actually even the FX3 only made it to the Netflix approved list, After the firmware update, removing SLog 2, maybe increasing bitrate(?), addition of Cine EI workflows, custom LUTs, and timecode sync. Maybe they're miasing on the FX30. And there may be an approval fee, which Sony doesn't wanna pay.

Or were you referring to the Netflix approved list?

Maybe because they both (FX30 and FX3), have almost identical height, weight n depth.

They probably got like 30 cameras with lenses and accessories from Sony for the publicity. Maybe a few millions too, and studio help from Sony (CGI included?).

Sir you have very Gaddafi, er I mean Saadawi vibes 😉

I have to humbly Disagree with the idea that All M43 Cameras must be Tiny or Pocketable. That's Lucrous. Apple has the distinction of making smartphones that make claims that they can shoot Arri Video Quality or Prosumer or Professional Photo Quality, at a fraction of the price, but there isn't really much truth to that. Regardless of what Hollywood director, whose film has been sponsored by Apple, tells that to you. While almost everyone ALSO wants a GM5 sized Panasonic (especially since Fuji and Ricoh make some superb point and shoot cameras), all Panasonic need not be tiny. They would have issues with overheating, and other issues and look rather amatuer on a Professional shoot. I am comparing the GM5 to the Netflix Approved Sony FX3, the A7Siii, and the Fuji X100v. Panasonic needs the GH, the G and the GM lineups (hopefully something with the GX85's IBIS, but much smaller, probably with 10 minutes recording times).

I know the Single Biggest thing that would make the G9ii sell in the truckloads. ... A Netflix Certification 😎
