lol, wasn't there before. Good find!

It's a both a blessing and a curse...

Looks a bit sharpened and reduced in noise to me. Apart from that and thanks to the great compositions and color work it's one of my favorite clips yet. You can see aliasing at the 0:41-0:42 mark at the railing. Though in comparison to the BMCC or even original pocket it's absolutely minimal and usable.

Looks good to me. (one scene showed some aliasing though)

Would be great to so a comparison involving skin tones in either F-Log (DCI 4K 24p All-I, nr/sharpening -4, inter frame nr off) and Blackmagic Log (DCI 4K 24p, ProRes (422 or HQ)(no sharpening)) and RAW (1:4 compressed should be fine). Still undecided between these two lol

Davinci Resolve Color Space Transform -> S-Log 3/2 to ARRI Log C -> Arri Rec709 lut No?

Lifting blacks in filmconvert?

Here's some test footage from Photokina (will upload more and comparisons with the A73 later) 1st clip: F-Log All-Intra 400mbit 4K DCI, 25p, sharpening/nr -4 and inter frame nr off, native ISO640 Provided a graded version as well with some midtone contrast added to skin tones as well https://drive.google.com/open?id=1M9SiUayOkdg7KYFUHpwpKC5fET6mdIPI Sorry for the shakiness. After a full day of photokina with an unstabilized lens it's quite hard to shoot stable footage... Shutter was at 1/100s to compensate for the strong lights.

Seems like the issue was using Astia with highlights and shadows adjusted. F-Log with sharpening and nr all the way turned down and inter frame nr turned off in 4K DCI All Intra looks great actually (with a little bit of midtone contrast added to skin tones)

Used an ND filter on the A73 and pushed the aperture down on the X-T3 to F13. Both running at ISO6400 on a well lit stand at the Photokina. The X-T3 shows less noise (more like fine grain) and no noise reduction artifacts.

After further looking into the footage. I had a clip with Astia at 0/0 for highlights and shadows with still waxy skin, but F-Log recorded scenes look way better and thanks to the new codec show no banding at all. ISO6400 is extremely clean as well - only if both iterations of noise reduction are off or down completely. With noise reduction enabled noise becomes bigger with a huge loss of detail very much like the GH4 did.

You can't get rid of the waxiness as well as lack of definition and texture of skin, while you can easily fix colors in post. Astia Inter frame NR: OFF Lowered highlights a tiny bit Brightened shadows a tiny bit Sharpening -4 NR: -4 (F-log showed the same issue) The Sony was running my custom profile using Still gamma and Pro color mode and some other tweaks. Guess which camera looked better.

The waxiness reminded me of what the selfie cam of my OnePlus 6 does, but the Fuji applies it to other hues as well. Maybe you don't notice it because you have no camera which doesn't do it? That's why I think @androidlad may be right here. Might be interesting to see if external recording solves the issue. And no, the GH5 doesn't really suffer from that, nor does the A7III (the codec is still bad though). Noise reduction (even inter frame) and sharpening were completely turned off. ISO at 640 native. DR400 for ASTIA. 400mbit intra frame and 200mbit long gop H265 were used and looked identical.

will share some PNGs tomorrow, even some comparisons.

Tried the X-T3 at photokina. Not impressed. Recorded some footage on my SD card in the new 400mbps intraframe codec. Turned noise reduction, sharpening as well as inter frame noise reduction completely off. In both Astia and F-log faces and even textiles look like a paintbrush was applied. Faces look horrible and lifeless and waxy as well. Both my GH5 and A7III looked way better and more natural in comparison... Well, will wait for the BM Pocket 4K then.

And finally V-Gamut compatible and no sharpening (like the EVA-1). but who knows...

quite a great feature for sure. Still waiting for full ACES support with Color Science 4 though.

Here's a good comparison between BRAW (with its new debayering filter which almost acts like an optical lowpass filter) and CDNG (using a more oldschool approach) https://www.slashcam.de/artikel/Test/Blackmagic-RAW---Qualitaet-im-Vergleich-zu-CinemaDNG----IBC-2018--Debayering---Rauschen.html#Debay Once this update hits the Pocket 4K we should have some really smooth footage out of this camera. Talked to some other DOPs over the past few days about their impressions over BRAW. In conclusion they're not looking back at all. The URSA feels like a new camera and way closer to ARRI.

And here's the reason why BRAW looks so much better than CDNG... The internal debayering process smoothes out high frequency noise and almost acts like an optical lowpass filter: https://www.slashcam.de/artikel/Test/Blackmagic-RAW---Qualitaet-im-Vergleich-zu-CinemaDNG----IBC-2018--Debayering---Rauschen.html#Debay That's some great news!

Stabilization on the GoPro 6 was already amazing, but this looks even better. Can't wait to try it out. With ProTune enabled and sharpening turned down the video quality on the GoPro6 was already quite decent with really nice color.

According to the description, he added midtone detail. Also, RAW looks quite harsh out of this camera and has moire as well as aliasing. ProRes looks way cleaner.

Is there a sharpening setting as well?

IBIS on the GH5 is amazing and it's a reason for me to wait for the X-H2 instead.

Would be great, but actually wouldn't bother with the processing I've seen in the X-T3 clips so far that much. The sharpening in the Z6 clip is causing the terrible artifacts we see in the new clip - which has some really nice compositions btw. If it can be turned off, the camera would be great for video work, especially with something like the Ninja V attached.

Intentionally, since they were really noisy, and not that kind of nice noise you get on ARRI and Blackmagic cameras ?
