Any SD card recommendations? I need to record 8 bit 4k 25 fps internal. The largest I can find from the recommended list is the 128 gb sandisk uhs2 I would prefer a larger card, anyone tested other brands? like pro grade

You can try this app https://mlv.app You still need to convert first the dng to mlv https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=24631.0 It allows you to choose different debayering methods.

I have it and its much faster than the old version in resolve, I have realtime playback and the old version I did not.

It's moire, Its more obvious when playing the whole clip. The dress has fine lines that create this effect. https://www.dropbox.com/s/newx1n59ihz0lbl/moire.mov?dl=0 Here' the full clip, I developed it with sharping quite high because I wanted to see what was going on I did notice that when I open the files in adobe camera raw the moire effect is almost gone, so it may also be something todo the way resolve handles this

I downloaded the shot with the girl next to the water and when I push the exposure a bit you can clearly see moire in the dress around her hip. good thing I plan on using some vintage lenses that are not that clinically sharp. I'm happy with highlight recovery in resolve, it gets back some very hot spot on her arm.

I always wonder how those test charts look when the camera is moved slightly, like normally when you have moire you could move the camera a bit to change the moire appearance to a different pattern. Also its clear that 6k without downsampling is the winner, to be expected. My conclusion on the sigma image quality: - dynamic range is not the best but still very nice because none of the pixels are compressed -The downsampling algorithm in combination with no antialias filter can give some moire artefact and loss of resolution. -some data is lost because its not 14 bits raw, this can show up in parts of the image when pushing.

Thanks, good points for example I found this clip and I feel it was a bit overexposed in most of the shots And is this clip you can see you can pull the almost dark shadows to a normal exposure very well

I think you can underexpose a little to protect the highlights with this camera, and pull up the shadows a bit in the editing, I see a lot of video's with clipped whites that I feel could have been avoided if the sensor had been exposed a bit under. Paul what do you think about this?

Yes you can

Go for the fuji, then buy the fp next year when the firmware has had more time to mature.

You also cannot use the zoom while recording, I would love to have this, sigma learn from sony and fuji

I'm not sure about pro res raw, it could be just compressed and not debayered, but in the end I will stick with cdng.

If its hdmi to the ninja it will be prores raw, which is partially debayered as far as I know. Not real raw like the cinema dng

I read on amazon : Read and write speeds of over 850 MBps, when connected to a Thunderbolt 3 or USB 3.1 Gen 2 port. Over 40% faster read speeds and over 200% faster write speeds than leading SATA SSD external enclosures and USB 3.0 flash drives, make long wait times a thing of the past. https://www.amazon.com/Protection-Enclosure-Innovative-Connecting-Thunderbolt/dp/B07Q7H5QLX This is the big B meaning megabytes your stating it in megabits 850 megabytes equals 6800 megabits

I'm pretty sure the nvme ssd's should work, they are much faster than the samsung t5, so I don't see any problems.

Yes it would be, and thats what we should ask sigma, Log for compressed video does not interest me as much. But would love to be able to bake LUTs for compressed footage, for the quick turn around projects, to be able to grade them in camera. and those LUTs would apply to a log input better than without. -So ok Log internal with a grading option of LUTs, and a log to linear table for the Raw. -External recording to pro res raw does not interest me so much on this camera, but its good to have options.

Time to buy some ssd soon https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-11-18-these-early-black-friday-ssd-deals-start-at-under-gbp90 AndI wonder if this fits under the camera: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ICY-BOX-Enclosure-USB-C-Aluminium/dp/B07JJXCSC4/ref=pd_sbs_23_6/259-6578831-3731332?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07JJXCSC4&pd_rd_r=b4280426-078f-4369-b526-edaf86434aa7&pd_rd_w=u8Jet&pd_rd_wg=u3GEr&pf_rd_p=cc188cba-1892-42b3-956f-6c67d0ab7a00&pf_rd_r=2Q7Y9GVDF0J1BS63E13M&psc=1&refRID=2Q7Y9GVDF0J1BS63E13M

I think you will find that the VF attachment will make a big difference.

For me 25 fps with 12 bit would have been the icing on the cake, as I live in europe where 25 fps is the standard. to have to go down to 10 bit for just one frame per second seems a bit of a miss

Nice!

https://www.stopfakes.gov/article?id=Is-My-US-Patent-Good-in-Other-Countries Its only for the USA right? So if a company makes a compressed raw video camera and does not sell it in the US it will be fine?

First I don't think this is true, and even If it is, then it also applies to a compressed raw in a still camera. When the next generation stills cameras from Nikon or canon can shoot stills at 24 frames per second with compressed raw red should start a court case against them.
