Because it's RAW. So, it's only recording the RAW data of an area of the sensor 4096 pixels wide, which is a lot less than the sensor which is 5728 pixels wide.

Real footage...

I told you to keep that between us!

This is always my challenge. I have a project that I use for colour grading practice and testing that has two main sections, one with private images that are absolutely full of skintones, and the other section for images I can post publicly that scarcely has any because people don't want to be posted publicly.

He said not to quote him on it...

Or more to the point, any data show that leather shoes helps to win Oscar more or easier than fabric or faux-leather? If we're going to talk about what matters, at least let's start asking the right questions.

Now the challenge of deciding between them....

MFT is dead!

Sample S9 footage... guy made his own custom LUT and loaded it into the camera and footage wasn't graded in post. Linked to timestamp:

4K G2 with Angenieux... Obviously you'd have to crop into the image in post, but you'd still have heaps of pixels.

Well, at some point the sheer size of the FF sensor becomes an issue when fitting it into a smaller body, and maybe that's the limit we've reached. Not only is the sensor larger, but the IBIS must be more powerful because of the extra weight as well as thermal considerations from the extra power demands, which of course require a larger battery. There's a reason the iPhone camera can be so small:

Massive PITA though.

So, that's a couple above average then, right?

There goes hopes of using Resolve - it doesn't support Prores RAW.

Why did you get rid of it? Too heavy? too large?

It makes perfect sense to me. Those two are the only ones that could scrape through without being eviscerated by more than 75% of the population. The fact there were even two that made it should surprise you if you stop to realise that even on this very forum, no camera in the history of time escaped this fate, despite having the entire worlds camera industry desperately trying to make something we'd like!

Can you mount the accessory without the handle?

I saw a presentation from someone who was following his campaign from the start and they said he just said random things in his early speeches and kept repeating the things that got the biggest response from the crowd, so his entire campaign was just telling people what they wanted to hear. Sad thing is, it worked. I'm a huge fan of democracy.... the thing that lets it down is the voting public.

and isn't 15x the size of the camera. I mean, seriously: Just another instance of "people who want quality must be fine with a humungous camera".

It seems strange to me that because a cinema camera is small that somehow it is judged like a P&S rather than a cinema camera. Many/most cinema cameras lack IBIS and reliable AF-C today, and even P&S cameras smaller than GX85 lack IBIS. It is a pity that they didn't have a bigger grip / battery though. One good way to do it would be to look at the smallest lens that would practically be used (which in this case is the 14mm F2.5 or 20mm F1.7) and then make the grip just smaller than that.

Or they just want to distance themselves from it as much as possible. Also, writing things off can help with your tax bill sometimes, so could be corporate finance hijinx.

...or an optional unit that fits an NVME SSD

To be fair, it's not like the professional politicians were providing that much competition in the relatability department!

Yeah, the game has changed, and luckily for them, the price got lower and they realised they could mostly automate it!

You must have an honest face... doomed from the outset!
