Sounds great! Really nice to see some competition.
-
The missing Canon label...
-
Agreed. And it's a good thing. Both the All-I and Long Gop codec have a beautiful noise structure at -5/-5 sharpening/nr. The 8 Bit codec on ther other hand sucks keeping the fine grain intact and instead leaves you with macroblocking and banding.
-
I agree. The 10 Bit 150mbit H264 codec works perfectly fine, the 200Mbit 5K H265 codec struggles with banding and macro blocking artifacts. Am thinking it doesn't make much use or any of the possible higher efficiency of the H265 codec at all. Kinda sad, since this is the only way to get rid of the internal sharpening.
-
Not true. Had some crazy banding artifacts in a 4K60fps 8 bit clip. Same location, same time 4k24fps 150mbit 10 bit was completely clean. But the 6k 10 bit H265 is actually quite prone to banding though having 10 bit. Wish it wasn't since it's the only way to get organic unsharpened footage out of the GH5.
-
Honesty? A 4k48p mode... with 10 bit if possible :D
-
Take a look at the A7RII with it's amazing debayering and scaling. Or the still respectable GH5 Now the Nikon D850 (APS-C) The Nikon D850 is at least one step back from these in terms of video quality. Conclusion for me: You want a great photo camera, the Nikon D850 is fine. For video there are way better alternatives.
-
Another issue. The H265 codec is quite prone to banding using V-Log... Not quite as bad as the 8 Bit codecs but not as good as the 10 bit All-I or GOP codecs either... The banding isn't as bad in the original upload though... Should have used HLG instead I guess. What I love though is that it's way less processed than the 4K modes, no visible sharpening, way more organic!
-
Seems like it uses Lineskipping in FX mode. Only usable in S35 mode but nowhere near as good as the Sony A7R II, A6500/6300, GH5, NX1 etc... https://www.slashcam.de/artikel/Test/Nikon-D850---FullHD--4K-und-Slow-Motion-sowie-Rolling-Shutter-Messung.html (German) Better than Canon at least.
-
Using V-Log and planning to use HLG, so I need 10 bit.
-
Just figured out, the camera still applies sharpening at -5. At least in 4k, although there are way less halo artifacts! The 6K mode doesn't apply any further crop and looks almost identical to in DR14 decoded DNG from the GH5 (adobe dng converter used) with sharpening set at 0 in RAW decoding panel. Great news! IS lock seems to work great for gimbal usage, wouldn't use it handheld though, unless I'm walking.
-
Already installed. 1080p60 All-I 200 Mbit 10 Bit will be my GoTo for slowmo from now on. The details and noise structure are insane considering it's only HD video. Especially after Nnedi3 upscaling. It basically looks like 4k. Am impressed. Seems like sharpening at -5 is completely disabled? Still searching for sharpening halos... That would be amazing!
-
Crazy how weak YouTube still is in terms of compression... I love how much detail many of these shots have. Way better than the original Varicam in that regard.
-
Radio88 on Vimeo looks amazing to me (don't view it in Chrome to judge colors though, they're seriously messed up there...). Basically like a GH5 on steroids, or Varicam. I don't see any overprocessing like sharpening or noise reduction either. The C200 looks like crap compared to that (in MP4 at least), RAW is ok, but doesn't show that incredible amount of detail. It looks better to me than anything shot on the original Varicam to me. The amount of detail is insane. No visible sharpening either. Colors look great as well. If there wasn't the 4k60p 8 bit flaw, this would have been an instant buy.
-
With the second post being a scam. Lol

Why are modern TV's defaulted to horrible settings out the box?
deezid replied to Oliver Daniel's topic in Cameras
Well, that sucks. The first thing I do is turning all these rubbish "enhancements" off. And of course the obligatory white balance (it's always way too bluish) as well as gamma (always too contrasty and shadows crushed) setting... -

deezid replied to Oliver Daniel's topic in Cameras
Exactly!!! Sometimes I wish Apple would make TVs. At least they know how to calibrate them correctly. -
Looks very much like neutral Varicam footage to me, with more noise though... I think with a more cinematic than neutral colorgrading this would look fabulous. Apart from one drone shot I don't see any crazy sharpening, so I assume it was done in post. The 8 bit 4k60p still bothers me.
-
Not for me: Monobrow YIKES Still worse screen to body ratio than LG (V30) and Samsung (S8 and Note8) Confusing gestures No fingerprint, and FaceID probably not reliable with hints of sweat/makeup or in sunlight Ugly camera bump Still very limiting (though becoming better over the years -> files) iOS No 10 bit HDR video recording No headphone jack No Always On display No fastcharging unless you invest further $84 What I like though: 4K60p iOS backup and update support front camera seems nice the OLED will be properly calibrated for sure Stereo speakers
-
It isn't. Fuji, Canon, Panasonic, Sony Professional, Nikon etc. are not affected.
-
The F23, F3, F35, F5, F55, F65 are amazing in terms of color. Everything else from Sony is kinda rubbish though.

Shooting 5K on the Panasonic GH5 with the new 'Open Gate' mode
deezid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Try RockyMountains converter. https://sourceforge.net/projects/rockymountainsmovieconverter/ Creates 6k ProRes files which play smoothly. -
Would be amazing to get our hands on some of these 10 bit log files.

Panasonic GH5 Review and exclusive first look at Version 2.0 firmware
deezid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
I never ran into these issues with the GH5 with my own graded clips so far(which can be quite extreme), but quite regularly with the GH4. @bunk Can you try the extreme node on the GH5 HLG footage as well? Should be way better, it seems to make use of the full range by still providing maximum dynamic range. Really interested in this one tbh.
