haha good joke! Take it easy man, Lenovo won't stop to sell their machines because of so dangerous negative bad mouth on their reputation : D Their PR's sleep is safe for tonight! LOL :-)

No idea if this has already been posted. Shipping announced for February 2016. http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?136561-Announcing-RED-RAVEN&p=1548134#post1548134

Interesting development, good ones boys! E :-)

LOL OK, in short... no need for a drama! Cheers, E :-)

I think you'll find up there the answer you're looking for: http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/9467-ursa-mini-vs-raven/?do=findComment&comment=107970

Don't push it, man of the renaissance... LOL Don't try to take advantage because some other poster said yes in some other topic as the only way to make a point on yours ;-) This test (not mine) is "my contribution" to this thread: http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/9390-sony-a7s-ii-is-out/?do=findComment&comment=106693 sample extracted from (minute 28:30): https://vimeo.com/114978513

Indeed. Fixed mount only serves their high-end. In the case of Blackmagic, there's also the option PL or B4 glass along your EF lenses for Ursa. Or try your luck with: https://www.fotodioxpro.com/arri-pl-lens-mount-to-canon-eos-camera-mount-fotodiox-pro-lens-mount-adapter.html

My impression aside, I fully stand that you're exaggerating or perhaps you're just a former Lenovo customer who didn't like the service : D Comes to my mind a Clint Eastwood's movie, A Perfect World... BTW, how old are you? : ) In any case, I'd like to listen you on topic, about any alternative to Lenovo's new laptops. That would be rather more useful than this discussion proper of a movie plot perhaps; no, I don't even question the innocent or terrible practices of the Chinese manufacturer listed everywhere as one of the giants of this industry. I simply don't give the same attention as you do. We didn't invent the world, when we arrived it already was pre-existent ; ) Welcome to the real life, pal! E :-)

I would need to see it to believe it... ;-) Right :-) Without mention... SDI there, it is 3G-SDI up to 1080p60.

Both recorders are 4K. The recording modes are different though. You can record whatever you want, 8-bit output will always offer 8-bit signal to record, whatever mode you have going with the external recorder. You'll only add empty data. That is, nothing will change for your grading.

The difference can be another one depending on our setup choices, as for instance where 500gr can make a whole difference: http://www.red.com/store/products/redvolt-xl http://www.red.com/store/products/redvolt On the leftover, this is the philosophy: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?67366-Is-it-possible-to-use-Scarlet-EPIC-without-any-Red-LCD-or-EVF Yes, no reason on contrary. :-)

LOL Posted practically at same time... (new edit there now) Here is other info essentially as digest from reduser:

LOL Priceless post, Ebrahim ;-) They say the bird flies quick. If high(er) than Ursa Mini, we will see... Good for industry, good for filmmaking.

Yes, indeed. I see the specs now. Pity no 4/3" mount, so close 1.7x is from 1.8x. I should add the verb on "would" than "will" : D I also see the idea of universal pre-mount brought by RED in 2006 is a mere page of the past. PS: The difference of price range with Weapon is huge, so 4/3" mount (with the right tricks) would place it even more planetary... ;-) https://support.red.com/entries/93023988-WEAPON-DRAGON-Pricing-Information-USD

And mid range? Those focal lengths are pretty wide. So, anything is already good enough. I know as for instance, 16mm covers FF on Tokina.

True. They will review the OLPF I guess they'll need to. Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 is plain enough. If you're able to add a SpeedBooster, you'll be fully fulfilled with.

Fear stands a hard bitch, word. Since to not buy Lenovo because of such is an overstatement IMO. Should I quit of my citizenship and nationality because my government wants to control my earnings from my expenses via my tax number or credit card statement? So, forget about VISA, Mastercard and AMEX? For the sake of this conversation and it doesn't matter if your concern matches with the same values I believe, we can't fire back with a nuclear weapon when we just need to go out hunting birds. Emanuel :-)

I don't shoot with the AX100 so I'd take the report from the previous poster as a good hint. :-)

If you use anamorphic glass, it is between 5K and 6K. Count with more detail going on downsampled 4K.

I am not engineer either. No need to be one nor a businessman to figure out a La Palice truth. That one on 10-bit 4:2:2 lighter than 8-bit 4:2:0 is the first time I've heard. That is, if same codec, same parameters... To be frank and straightforward with you. No, I won't show off and call you stupid in a public place. Nor thinking and writing you are this or that. Read your post again, you'll likely find inaccuracies in your post. I have no need to write the other side is wrong (you say) anyway. But I can tell you very straight using your lexicon, stupid is when we see real tests proving something and we insist this or that theory is the one valid and keep going what experience proves the contrary. Hey, the lady is not mine. The test is not mine, no need to send me the check. The results are there. Very explicit ones, to say the truth. A few others much prefer to praise their dolls. Yes, you and others here are also missing the point over there. Apart the fact, brands like to sell expensive toys and whishful thinking has a place but happens to be far away of reality most part of time, you are able to say 8-bit 4:2:0 is not favourable for banding (I've read lots of things over here but this one is new... LOL). OK, let's try to decode your saying, even though, you don't make the necessary effort to decode mine. Still on the variables? Who said bitrate/codec don't count?! So (no, not necessarily your saying, take it as sarcasm indeed), let's fulfill the 4:2:0 recipient with empty data and try to see if matches 4:2:2, why not? It reminds me those who think they actually record 10-bit in their external recorder only because they read the specs on the paper they're using a 10-bit codec, even when they stream a 8-bit output from camera. I only read blah blah but... C'mon, give me, you and everyone a break. This is not a contest to pick up the best smartass ready for. Neither a kindergarten. (your) point taken, thanks for the link, nice reading :-) PS: Last but not least, speaking of accuracies ; ) the overheating issues seem to come from processing, not sensor. Or you wouldn't be likely to overcome the trouble triggering from the external recorder.

Better than GH4 for sure... But forget the RX100IV, go instead for RX10II, best bang for the buck :-)

Not 4K, only 1080p.

It is impossible to know exactly as of now. But possible to predict from what we've seen on Sony's offer. Without mention the fact as same as happens with the a7RII, Sony warns for the eventual problem in the camera's manual. Seems the problematic heat comes from processing, not sensor's. In any case, no downsampling operation as much demanding as the older new sister, 'cause the obvious sensors' differences.

How will you upgrade to 10-bit when: a) the manufacturers have their high-end to protect? b) compact size on large format is unable to go higher bit depth when internal 4K 8-bit 4:2:0 by Sony is out there to pop up full of overheating issues? The fact 4:2:2 recorded externally brings higher bitrate to you is the only viable choice you have going with a large sensor. Other than that, 10-bit also means a higher bitrate (irrelevant the degree for certain tasks; there's the point), hardly to see internally in these small "toys" whether we cry or not. And for some reason ; ) you have it on GH4 but not on Sonys via HDMI. Why hasn't Blackmagic released yet 4K in a compact package? Because they are too focused on the new Ursas (reason a) above-mentioned) is short to explain it... And when they will, don't count on a large sensor size. The best you can dream about will be the SpeedBooster route. Other than that, you're stuck on 8-bit. Whining for 10-bit or higher for this market segment is a futile exercise and meaningless. That test proves we have now a solution to help you out with banding. Not really significant for much other (banding as topic), but a way better than 4:2:0 (again, for banding). The comparison speaks by itself, the variables to second it only testify the grace. There's a difference between to dream with and following the t(r)ip. Reality-wise, of course ;-) No one here is against 'the higher', the point is the way those several existent differences (RELATIVE variations, certain gaps, jumps as you call them can weigh much more than absolute values) and variables can have an impact in our tools for real in order to comply some goal. Those you can use in the field. Not mere wishful thinking for a bunch of geeks we are here :-)

If you research back throughout this thread, you'll find the answer you're looking for. 4:2:2 means higher bitrate too and all this means a obvious benefit.
