The image and DR out of the D750 is so nice imo that even if cropped, its more interesting than most of the competition. But if its just an nx500 in a Nikon body... No thanks.

If it caries the IQ similar to a D750 its a total winner. I love the image from the D750, much more than the NX1 or GH4.

Great find, would be cool if we often shared finds like this.

And who can forget Ed Davids epic Red One MX vs Sony F35 test. Its private but just google "red one mx f35" and click the video tab. First hit still works.

Great write up. 5Dii, had one. If anything its probably the most comfortable DSLR I ever held in my hands. (second and third is the Nx1 and D750). I still adore my BMCC 2.5K. I remember how the size once was an issue, quite funny today. And with just a Zacuto Top Handle and quick plate for the tripod or a Rigg made from scrap pieces its actually a light little thing. The F35 is magic imo. I am so getting one sooner or later. It wasn't in the stars just yet but Im hoping it will still drop some more. 1DC is a camera I have yet to try. But since Ive used plenty of C-Log, other canons, etc I feel I can imagine how I would like it. And I think it would be a lot. The Red One is still new in my house. Its like getting a puppy. You like it but its also a learning curve. Lots of love with some pee on the floor

Exactly! It will be the absolute bomb. The great Nikon stills, awesome colors, crazy quality/bitrate performance, slowmo, Utopia!!! ..but peaking, super slowmo, Raw, built in ND, A7s Lowlight... wonder if the D6 will have it.. Or at least pick a lens system and stick with it. Thats why I switched to all Nikon glass. I can get the GH5, BMPC mike or what ever. But I won't buy new glass.

Its coming to Stockholm! The theatre managed to borrow a projector from a museum I will be there on monday. http://www.sf.se/filmer/The-Hateful-Eight-70mm/

I came to terms with, some years ago, that what we are discussing here is in fact.. ...Moby Dick. Always on the horizon. Always close. Just a little more. Next time... Its never gonna happen. I see it in all of us. Its easier to notice among public reviewers such as Andrew or Philip Bloom. And to some probably in my videos as well. One month a DSLR is the greatest due to its size/prize. Next month its all backwards. Form factor/features, now thats the key. In the meantime we dream of some perfect compromise. Personally Ive stoped beliving in compromise. I dont buy a hybrid tablet/laptop thing. I buy both or make a decision. When Im at the store and cant decide between chips or candy for the movie, I get both. My Red One for example. What a beast. Love it so far. Can I use it today while skeeing? Nope, so I will use a GoPro. Unless I just want to film others skeeing... And I dont want a compromise that does everything nice. I want them to be great. And then I just have to face having two cameras, renting or just decide what Im willing to skip. When owning only a BMCC you decide that look goes before slowmo. With a D750 you sacrifice bitrate and resolution. With the R1 obviosly easy portability gets left behind. But they all give somehing back. Lots of whales out there. Might as well pick an easier target than that basterd at the horizon No point here, just some thoughts. (btw, bootup isnt unworkable. I turn it on and its usually done before I have framed and everything. (You get picture while you whait)) (Im not saying whale hunting is ok, because its not.)

Just some more footage from the same rolls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFFLGxxodRE

If you are in the US, it migt still be for sale. He never bumped to say its sold.

Quick DR comparison. Was planing to do a complete side by side shootout but the day was just to gorgeous and Ive just moved to a house by the sea. So I aborted and went ice skating instead But a super quick shot. A have shot with the same lens, f4, iso800.I exposed ETTR with the same variable ND.Red Code is switched to Red Log Film and the BMCC Raw to BMDFilm.Then I set the highlights and shadows just bellow clip and above crush using the wave form.Lastly I chose a line in the mid tones and pushed it to the same IRE on all clips.My conclusions, BMCC and R1 both have 13 usable stops. They both have about equal amount of noise but the R1 has a dirtier noise (a positive for me but not the the folks who like it sharp). The Red has a much more pleasing set of colors after balancing. Just like C-Log, Nikon Flat or Bolex. Wouldn't need as much grading to get a certain look. A note on using them, The bcc is so super light with just the top handle. The Red feels so much more "pro" and all of its exposure tools are really nifty. Didn't even turn on Zebras or False Color. The meter, stop light and histogram does a good enough job without cluttering the screen. BMCC Prores LT BMCC 2.5K Raw Red One MX 4.5K R28 Red One MX 4.5K R42

Ive always used the same battery your FS5 has (I guess its the same) on my BMCC and BMPC4K. I suspect it works on the mini as well. No idea how long it would last though.

Imo the f35 is the best digital look out there.

All three great cameras, just a bit pricy compared to the R1 (all more than twice the cost if bought new in Sweden, and no used once out yet). And also I would probably never choose the Aja or Mini 4K over a dirt cheap fully rigged bmpc4k (same image). Which by the way will seriosly drop soon. The Kinemini seems cool but I hear very mixed things, so one should as you say, look deep. An me personally, if I had that kind of money, F35 all the way

This guy knows what Im talking about Also changing aperture or ND is either as quick of a move as focusing on the lens, or in your case the wheel. We can set the cameras, ISO is static, fps is static, shutter stuck at 180 degrees. Everything else is external, physical controls. Just like film.

Its like the BMCC or BMPCC. I put it at ISO800 and stick to it. Cant think of any time I would change that. Its what Ive been doing the last years so when I get a camera that needs fiddling with the ISO it feels a bit strange. Maybe thats why I enjoy film as well. The Iso is on the box, not much you can do about it

Yup, if only the perfect all in one could be invented soon. Maybe CES 2016 In the meantime, If anybody that haven't experienced Red Raw, here is a clip. Its 4.5K in R28. So pretty big compared to the smaller HD files. And imo pretty cool for the highest compression. You can use Resolve but if you have Final Cut I sugest installing the free plugin from Reds web page. Then you will find the raw settings under the info tab of the clip on your timeline. I have so far used that for correcting or just switching the Raw to Log. The graded with what ever like Color Finalle, etc. http://www.filedropper.com/a165c0190101j8rdc

Nice write up. And please, this is in no way a "defense", Im happy people don't like it. Thats why I could get is so cheap But a few thoughts as answers to why I, even though I knew everything Ebrahim says before buying it, still went ahead. All clips in my video are ISO +800 pushed. Doesn't look noisy to me.The number of stops depends on what you compare to. I have decided to rate the BMCC at 13. Which means the XC10 has 12. And the R1 has in my experience more than the Canon. I will do a side by side with the BMCC. But what Ive seen so far makes me guess 13. Anyway, will know tomorrow.Power isn't a problem for me. Its like any other camera to me and the way I shot.The codec is what finally made me buy it. I takes up almost no space/quality, is super easy to work with and I just like it.The fan is very quite. Feels nice compared to the noisy BMCC.ND, again, business as usua (ursa mini includedl.Regarding the URSA mini 4K, I didn't want it since its lower DR, not what I consider "filmic", twice as expensive, no red code and I just don't se it when a BMPC4K can be had for so much less. After the URSA 4.6K is out I suspect I can pick up a BMPC4K for just over 1K. And of course the no above iso400 zone.And here is what it all as usual comes down to. Taste. I agree, the F35 has more mojo. But I definitely put the R1 in the top together with the f35, Bolex, Ikonoskop and... ... Don't really know any more. To me the R1 is the most filmic of all Reds so far. The BMCC has its color/DR but the Moire and the "digitalish" sharpening thing that happens in debayer is often needed to be fought imo. The URSA mini 4K needs a difusion so bad its crazy. To give an example. As I write this my girlfriend started watching my Bluray copy of "The Hurt Locker". Its shot on the same 16mm Fuji stock I have sitting n my freezer. This image is to me the absolute bench mark. It is what I consider "best". The super sharp NX1, BMPC4K, any of the Sonys, you name it, can't touch it. Its the utopia. Not even 35mm looks as good imo. So you can imagine why the R1 is a better choice for me. (only time I didn't like the image in Hurt Locker so far was the massive moire from the digital Phantom during the first high speed footage. Where up at the Sniper scene now. Intense stuff... Love the long canon zoom lenses they used also. Thats why I shoot long on the BMPCC. Drifting of topic here....) Also reason number 1 in my top 5 list was simply that its "fun" and "cool" Again not ment as a defense or argument, just my thoughts. Im well aware that Ebrahim only speaks for himself and know as well as I do that every single camera has flaws, deal brakers and major let downs... depending on who you ask. A heavy camera to one is stable to another. A GoPro kicks the Alexas ass for diving but falls short for feature. Both of them gets smashed by the Phantom in the slow department. The list can go on forever. /M

And in my opinion a better image. Ive had the BMPC4K, its also my favorite Blackmagic (same look as the mini 4K). But no way would I ever describe it as filmic. Plus it has lower dynamic range and needs difusion to look good. Not to mention the no above ISO400 zone. Another reason why I didn't get the URSA mini 4K is of course that it cost twice as much

Wont use it much for work I think and if I did, not allowed to share. But I just finished a doc made with mostly BMD and have started preproduction on the next. Glad you like the channel

Need to test that as well, let me get back to you. oh yeah, FC is fast https://youtu.be/4rp-Q7i2nEs

Havent tested yet other than that match/slowmo clip wich looked alraight to me. Will go for a sunset test this week.

Im on it. Got the 17-35/2.8 with busted AF for a bit under $200. Now I might have found a good 28-70. They are only $250-300 here in full working condition. Cool, will have a look on a "real" monitor tomorrow.

Thanks (I do regret the grade of the 4K version though, think they look nicer in the 5 Reasons video.)
