Oh no, haha, I was being snarky. A few of the grades on this thead had pretty aggressive sharpening. Too much and it looks like video and you have to hide it with grain. Grain is really good at hiding artifacts and blown highlights. You have to cheat somewhere in your grade and I like to do it with skin. Pump up the contrast and you can pop the talent without messing with the rest of your image. Love doing it with 8bit log. You can keep all that dynamic range and still have great colors and skintones. Makes the shot look really expensive. Like you had a whole crew and cinema camera.

look ma no hands sharpening or grain necessary!

@AaronChicago 8 x 4ft crossfades 4 x 2ft crossfades 2 x 4 by 4ft kino shells 2 x 2 by 2ft kino shells 4 x baby pin kino mounts 8 x lamp holders with baby pin 2 x 4 lamp wiring harnesses 2 x 2 lamp wiring harnesses 12 x 1 lamp wiring harnesses I was going to buy carrying cases for the lamps but the housings work ok for transport. Based in Canada btw. There's only a single seller for the Quasars up here. I think that drives up rental demand.

I rent out my aputure kit and quasar science kit often. It's all about knowing what's popular. Leave the cameras to rental houses as people want Arris and Reds to rent. Glass too. Who the **** can justify spending 40k on a lens or body?

@kidzrevil cool thanks bought a 6500 instead

thinking about ditching my bmpcc and micros for a 5d3. How is the lowlight? And have you tried 60fps? Haven't used ml since i had an eosm. Trying to see if I can borrow this cam

lol come on, you've never shot a sky or a wall with a subtle shift in light intensity across it? banding exists in all 8bit footage

1) 4k and 1440 streams at a higher bitrate than 1080 2) uploading in 4k almost always triggers vp9 encoding. if your channel is tiny (less than 10,000 views per video) your video never gets past mp4 encoding. vp9 is much higher quality than mp4. Stats for nerds can be used on the app or browser to confirm the video codec. 3) even vp9 suffers from compression artificers due to YouTube using low bitrates. Vimeo or cloud hosting is the better alternative if you want higher quality streams

can confirm upscale looks mint on a 4K 43" monitor, digging the grade too

In North America, prices have massively dropped all the while sizes and speeds have increased. M.2 SSD is cheaper than SATA SSD and almost 4x the speed. We even have crazy fast nvme drives that can do over 1 gigabyte a second transfers reaching affordable prices.

No one actually believed the initial rumour, did they?

It is correct. I've contacted Canon USA and Canada for an answer and get the standard boilerplate response: Canon Japan makes all the decisions, if there are enough people who raise this issue we can pass the suggestion on to Canon Japan, thank you for your time. In my parts this camera has sold poorly compared to the FS5, FS7, Ursa, C100 and C300. (Oddly enough the FS7 + Inferno is the most popular here.) Still, I am very eager to see the new firmware. As for there being another camera from Canon that fulfills my whishes, nope. I want compressed internal RAW. 12 bit crushes those very expensive CFAST 2.0 vpg-130 cards. Last time I calculated how much it cost me, it was like 20$USD per minute. Two 128gb cards is like 30 min and cost as much as a mint used FF Sigma prime. Remember, Canon could write like 10 lines of code and enable 24/30fps 10bit. Oh well, this camera stays a rental until something better comes along. Edit: Just want to say I defend the C200 IRL heavily. If there's a budget for it and I know the shoot is going to use a gimbal, jib, dolly, slider, whatever; I always fight to get this camera. Browser Remote blows people's minds when they actually use it. I think the C200 is the best B cams out there for small shoots.

Canon forces you to shoot 60 fps in 10bit RAW. (Found this out the hard way on a shoot.) Think about that. They fucking have an intermediary 10bit codec right there ready to go, but say fuck you, deal with 125 MB/s. (BTW: 24 fps 10bit on the C200 would theoretically top out at 50MB/s, which is half the size of 422 ProRes HQ.) Anyone who can defend Canon for pulling shit like this, do they pay you? Or do you just not shoot with these cameras to really understand how flawed they are?

C200 is a super flawed camera: single CFAST bay vs cheap SSDs, wobbly EF mount vs positive lock speed booster EF mount, 1gbps or lowbitrate 8bit vs a whole whackload of codecs, mediocre lowlight vs dual iso. C200 could've been great with its awesome autofocus, color and great WiFi control, but Canon is greedy and wants to protect its outdated c300mk2. Speaking of cheap, the top handle arm monitor monstrosity Canon released into the world is horrible. It fucking rattles even after you tighten it down.

Or you can wait for the real world to catch-up with the standards, saving yourself a shitload of cash. 4K hasn't even overtaken 1080 yet. And now HDR has made the non 10-bit 4K panels obsolete? Early investing in hardware only benefits manufactures.

I would buy 3 of these bodies if Canon addressed these issues: - Need an option for positive EF lock mount (lens wobble when pulling focus) - 10 bit 24 and 30 fps RAW option (currently forced 60fps so fucking stupid) - Windowed 1080 raw recording (crop to reduce bitrate would be awesome) - Windowed high speed raw recording (48, 60, 120, etc)

lol derp, but that thread was soooo long!

Disappointed with this forum. Mr. Neumann has been gracing us with his presence for so long... but none of us follow him on Instagram? Look at what Panasonic gave him to test!

lol wrong, also you have no idea how performance will be affected

Never going to happen. Data rate for 4K raw with Blackmagic cameras is over 250 MB/s. UHS-III would be adequate for sequential writes, but the camera data bus was designed way before the spec was even finalized. And BM has phased out SSDs. New camera will use CFast. Prepare your wallet.

Still available direct from the manufacturer. It's the cloner wand on this page: https://www.cloner-alliance.com/store.html. Weird they pulled it for sale on Amazon. I see the LukiLink hasn't shipped yet. That's too bad but doesn't surprise me. Maybe Frank was planning a November 2018 release date.

wow

Not a chanse. ;)
