Voigtländer, smaller and much better rendering. I personally don't care for the Sigma look.

Also don't forget master black level. I usually set it to +10

Yeah colors break if you completely drop the contrast, -7 at the extreme. I've been keeping it at -5.

Considering most still shoot with Super 35 mm sensors, that they strike the balance between DOF/ being impossible to focus, and I'm actually think of using the new Black Magic Micro Cinema camera as my A-camera if it lives up to spec, I have to pretty strongly disagree. FF is the future for photography, but not all video projects.

​Thank you so much for this, turning 28 tomorrow and worried about where I am in life. This is great

No, I work in movie theater projection and 99 out of a hundred films are delivered in the 2K format. The majority of cinemas have 2K projectors still and Mad Max, The Hobbit, and many others were mastered in 2K and received IMAX releases. We are a couple of years away from 4K being the cinema standard. Perfect 2K is plenty. I've seen up scaled 720p used for documentaries often.

Some nice clips, and good to know the performance of the Tokina, but that music does not match in any way, shape, or form.

This happens to me in 1080p when you go over a certain ISO. I would love to turn off noise reduction, as I think that is the culprit.

If my D800 was able to output 2240x1260 footage with little compression with the sensors DR I would be in heaven.

Agreed, curious if the 30p on the atomos website means ONLY 30p on the Shogun or does it encompass 24p as well.

Yeah getting a single from the image buffer is the first step, but nowhere near full video out. I wish these guys the best though and hope they pull it off, love shooting my D800 with their hacked bitrate firmware. Getting RAW on that camera would be a dream.

Could not disagree more. It would be the second coming of the Megapixel race in pocket cameras for dumb consumers. I give you an example as to why. Say you have a lens thats listed it as 40 mp on it. Yea it may resolve that, but hows the image? Bokeh? Chromatic Aberration? When sharpness becomes the main concern for manufacturers (more than it is now) then we all suffer creatively for it. As someone that uses Cinema glass on his GH4 you know that resolution is not the most important aspect of an image :)

​Not if they do it out the USB3 port Honestly, just hoping for better RS in 4K, center 4K crop, higher bitrate options in 1080p, and a 1080p HDMI out option.

For a grand it's a steal, definitely pic it up.

​Get the FS7, I'm sure you'll be able to match the colours to other sony cameras (moreso than if you get a Canon or Blackmagic) and it seems to check all your boxes. Also I'm guessing you already have lenses, and the FS7 pretty much can be adapted to take them all, so that should not be an issue. Only question mark is if you need to add a lens with a long zoom range to the camera, if that is part of the 10 grand then it will push way over your budget.

​It's great that this shows how gradable the image is, but goddamn they need to lay off the film LUTs. Interested to to see how the natural colors are when brought up to proper exposure. Here's some 6K files you can download an play with, very impressive DR to me, like editing a great SLR still. http://www.kinefinity.tv/support/downloads/ I still think the 3K downsampled 16-stop Cineform image they state will be in an upcoming firmware will be the sweet spot for me image wise. ~20mb per frame in 6K raw is insane and overkill.

​Awesome information here. Thanks for that. Great note about blurring/sharpening the individual color channels, will try that out! As for the LUT usage. I'm fine with them being used as a base, but I dislike them being used as a "instant grade" that I can spot on peoples work. It's not creative to just use them as is and take away the personal touch. I like to use some of the Kodak presets in speedgrade, but the colours shift to far towards green in the shadows and dark blues are to saturated. So I adjust to taste, then grade further on top of that when I have that base. Basically, great starting point, but not a substitute for a personal grade.

1:40 in the video. Also said they will have a Nikon version. Locking EF and NIkon mount speedboosters

Great stuff! Loved the windmill shot. Looking forward you shooting further with it

I'll start right off by saying there were witnesses to the Top Gear incident. THERE IS PROOF IT OCCURED. Philip Bloom's story is a case of he said/she said. "I stay in touch with one of the ex girlfriends-" YOU. ARE. BIASED.

​If it's the 2.8 Leica, I'm betting more than $25,000. Edit: nevermind, f4, so probably around 10 grand if we're lucky :)

​Wow, this looks terrible. Found nothing wrong with the C300 Mark 2 Video though, story was inconsequential and not engaging but I liked the look of it.
