I hardly like to post my work anymore, due to data munching. I posted only one video this year. How many have you? We are witnessing a shock of forum culture.

I think Starwars episode 1 was shot in 8bit 422 on a three 2/3" CCD HD camera. The 10bit codecs and pipeline on the S5,1,1H are pretty impressive and would not make me yearn for 8bit. Still, I have been impressed by Rec709 glory in 8bit 420 colors on the tiny Lumix LX10 when using 4K. It's a camera that needs to be graded though. Ooc colors were a shock to me when I saw them for the first time. I would love the 4K 10bit 150mbit HLG though for a successor, that's for sure. I still enjoy to browse 1DC videos.:)

Depends on the specific flavour of codec. The first 10bit codec on the S1 was the only 10bit one without the Vlog update. It offered 75mbps 420 h265 for HLG at UHD resolution. That mode provided nice colors and dynamic range. But it fell apart into macroblocking tetris on homogenously colored surfaces or a blue sky. The 8bit 100mbit h264 for 709 outperformed it big time in that regard. The later 10bit 150Mbit 422 running circles around both. The 8bit 4k mode on the A7SII was easily bettered by a GX80 in regards of color, tones and lack artefacts in 709. The 10bit 444 HD on the Canon C300II performed the worst artefact I've ever seen under lowlight. It mushed a persons head completely away on a few of the frames. Crazy and hillarious. UHD has problems too. Cine 4K seems best from my experience. Some people prefer to record externally on the MKII. Prores 4444 on the Ursa 4.6 couldnt rescue IR poluted footage. A good 8bit codec is no slouch, whereas certain 10bit codecs can perform certain flaws.

Thanks for posting and linking to your setups. Looking cool. Just not a solution for shoulder cam operation. I'm not a fan of the cine d video nor color grading. But if it is delivering image quality of the C500II and if battery life operation and sturdiness are just as fine, then we got a winner. It deserves a convincing non Frankenstein setup though for shoulder work .

The 20MPix sensor or similar is still in use on the latest RX100 model I think, the first version being twelve years old already! @FHDcrew Here is a comparison between RX100 VII and the RX 10 II. I imagine the colour science in video is nicer on the former due to processing. For RAW photo the latter is slightly ahead though in this test: https://www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Compare/Side-by-side/Sony-Cyber-shot-DSC-RX100-VII-versus-Sony-Cyber-shot-DSC-RX10-II___1336_1034

Hard call for me to get exited about the footage above. Color grading seems the devil here. If the C80 looks as good as the C500II, it is a compelling image taking powerhouse. FX6 would be a direct contender, which works pretty well as a shoulder cam. Looking forward to rigging tutorials for the C80.

Cannot wait to read about your findings. If the Aquos sports the 20 MPix sensor from the RX, FZ and LX cameras, we should be in for a treat. Would love to see it running 10bit HLG on Mcpro24fps. What a bad name for a cool app btw.:)

GH5 is still a valid choice. I preferred it's HLG over VLog recording btw. HD mode is fantastic too. Beyond image quality it is just great to use for video, regarding battery life, sturdiness, video modes and so on. I bet they are close to be a steal now on the used market. @maxJ4380

30 seconds into that. Seems like i will be in for a great treat. The beginning reminds me of the Criterion interviews they do with some super cool movie legends, standing and talking between dvd shelves. I really enjoyed the Udo Kier segment fi. Thank you for posting, Andrew!

Some day I might just do that. @Andrew Reid Great option. I was not very intrigued by it as a photo camera when I had a chance to snap a few shots with it, missing some tactility and the mechanical shutter. But as a pocket cine cam, capable of raw recording and without thermal issues it is compelling. I still "smell" the Sony sensor though from the footage online, just like from the S1 and S1H, which I both own. Maybe raw will solve my issues I am having with the color from this sensor / video processing under natural light, which I find rather boring. Why would you use a 2x crop? Does the FP have the 3x crop of the Lumix S series? A true S16 mode would be awesome. It would even allow for some downsampling.

I have some fond memories of Chris and Jordans older reviews. But they have become rather tame and all the same in the last few years imo, kinda like cameras. Who could blame them for that. Battery life and overheating seem the biggest issues these days, possibly mush at high isos and weird processing. Regarding overheating all youtubers were shills, as you know best, Andrew. Best is to walk on without anger, though aknowledging shill behaviour. Second best is to forget their depressing hardware store youtube studios, illuminated by pink and other painfully oversaturated lights with astera clones as pseudo practicals. But maybe best of all is to focus on kewl stuff. I have just found another video showing off the beautiful sensor and color of the Cinealta F3.

True. I should install ML Raw on my Eos M instead of wondering about these kinda options. Og pocket would be perfect without overheating when powered by internal batteries. I had a lot of fun with it this hot summer despite missing some nice shots.:) Watching youtube reviews of smartphones is such a dull affair. How is focussing with dedicated apps from Blackmagic or Mcpro24fps? What a silly name for the later.:) How is the general experience for video regarding handling, battery life and overheating when using these video apps or motioncam? I hope these question don't distract too much from the topic of this thread. Kye had his gopro modded with d-mount lenses iirc. @Emanuel

Anything pales in the light of tragedy and some things give us comfort in harsh times, sometimes opportunity. For me it was the GX85 which helped me to get through and to cope. I used to carry it with me every day, not around my neck but in my backpack. I mean, Roger Deakins wouldn't carry his camera around the neck after all!:) My kindest thoughts to you and your aunt, dear Emanuel. I am sorry about your dad. I hope you can find more and more comfort day by day in your friends and your art and the positive things around you. Please forgive my harsh tone and words. best, Marty

How about the 11 ultra? @Andrew Reid It sports a 1/1.2" sensor, so still 16mm territory and worthy of C-mount lenses imho. Waiting for a tutorial of the mod and more raw video to see what the Aquos R6 is capable of.

Haven't seen anything 120p on this forum, not to even speak of 4K glory of every one of these precious frames. I've seen about 12 product shots of phones in this thread. I find it rather elitist to consume our earth and resources to death and to waste our brains for dumb junk filling up our thinking capacities. Phones have allowed to push gazillions of stupidity. That is an elitist approach, to overwhelme by pure marketing brute. Not everyone can be smart all the time, not even you, a man with 30 year long movie career. @Emanuel This thread is proof of that in my eyes. Decisive moment missed because 60p 4k is not enough? Come on. Show yourself your most exiting video frame of the last two years. I imagine Apple has nothing to do with it. If you like the sensation of shooting 4k120, cool. Too bad this thread is not a discussion of Douglas Trumbulls philosophy or beautiful imagery. Two cents, grain of salt, happy you're not upset. But please, feel teased and that plenty so.:) @Emanuel

One inch S16 sensor estate on that phone? That would mean Super16 4K raw for 400 Euro if I got that right. Could the 1" 20MPix sensor be the well tested sensor of the RX10/100 series? I am pretty happy with the colours in photo Raw on my LX15 which also sports that Sony 20Mpix imager. Pretty sweet! Thanks for posting! @Cosimo Is there a more detailed instruction video how to do this mod?

Hardly anyone has posted any involving videos in 120p here, which they have crafted themselves. Why that tristesse would change in 4K is beyond my comprehension. I couldn't feel less inspired to wonder about 120p in 4K than I feel by this thread. Decisive moment, seriously, where is it? Show me! Or maybe much rather not. I really enjoyed @kye 's essay miniseries and screenshots from his journey with the micro cinema cam, travels with a cinematic eye and consciouness through and about the artistic journey. Stuff like that is my fuel to keep coming here. But this thread is 4K of nothing and that in unbearable 120fps slomo hell. Grain of salt and two cents, so don't get too upset.:)

They did it again, no internal NDs.😂

** Reading my least favorite thread and commenting on it, am I a bot**? Am I yawning at my own post? Makes me think. Makes me stop yawning. Makes me leave to the kitchen to cool down my complex thinking with a beer.😴🤔🍺

The DJI 4D camera with its gimbal and lidar system is used on one German TV show I know of. So it has arrived in the pro Broadcast world for number two of the major private TV stations in Germany. A cooperation for a new mft camera does not sound too unreasonable. Their first raw camera module had a mft mount. They even had their own version of the 15mm Pana/Leica mft lens.

Makes me want to give my S1H a run for 120fps HD 10bit at 3x crop 16mm eq heaven! Time to test the ibis for some 90mm Bokina challenge😁

I am always fond of what people are able to achieve with older 8bit pro and consumer tech. I am especially fond of seeing what the original Dslr/m artists are able to achieve. I don't want to get into fanboyism, but your Berlin piece with the GH4 is one of my all time favorite vignettes, pacing, color, light, framing... Btw, great writeup, Andrew!😊

I have way too much stuff. Now, that ebay sucks big time, I wish myself good luck selling stuff. OG pocket will stay with me, that's for sure, Bmmcc maybe. Haven't even tested my 5D2, 5D3 nor Eos M for their magic lantern magic, F3 for some shots of leaves in the wind.😂 But that's besides the point of the topic of this thread.:) F3 external should do it for me in the image department, so do the og pocket and the Bmmcc.

I've seen pro documentary work shot with the A7IV. I was amazed to hear from the DP it was the humble Dslm when I asked, if a FX6 was used. Color grading was pro too though. I was very surprised. It really looked high end. Rolling shutter on paper is pretty awful though. That's a lot of sweeties and old computer stuff you must have enjoyed so much! Right on!:) @Andrew Reid On a side note, youtube and forum wisdom told me S1 and S1H provide a great image. While I am impressed with both, regarding absence of mush, dynamic range and robust codec, I did not fall in love with the color I was able to get out of it. It's perfectly fine but it's not exiting me under natural light conditions. So the different sensor in the A7IV might indeed be worth a look. I also liked the A7SIII when I had to color grade it.

DVX1 still the queen of the bunch regarding body design and imager. Sorry, I have to say so.:) I once had filmed with a DVX100 before, a black or grey one. I really wanted it to be a DVX1:) Thank you very much! @Andrew Reid I wished this thing was progressive 720x576. So does 720 x 576i translate to 720 x 288p resolution, giving half the resolution of the y-axis?
