You think its the software rather than the image? That would make sense as given the sensor a RAW image should have plenty of information to work with.

Yeah the high end of the low circuit looks terrible.

Different sensors of course so there could be more of a difference with the Z6. That said it won't be over a stop. Again I think its more the higher color depth that is important for some at least.

Yeah I doubt it. It will really be about the extra color information which should yield better skintones etc. I like the form factor of the Pocket cameras more and the 6k image quality is pretty unbeatable. That said you get the better low light performance and auto focus. Though you may not get auto focus with prores raw considering you can't with LOG?

The reason I dislike it is because it doesn't make any sense and people don't do things that make no sense. If he wanted to send someone a lens for free he'd just send it. Why go through Amazon and than refund?

I've seen users on forums for years scam people. But if you trust him why not do it.

classic scam

Sony doesn't get 15 stops even in 14 bit RAW. Previous Nikon cameras had outstanding dynamic range in RAW 14 bit. The Z6 isn't as good as their DSLR's. Also the RAW output is 12 bit prores RAW, not the same as the RAW you get in stills. The FS5 can do prores RAW but only got like a half stop dynamic range difference compared to 8 bit H264. I'd guess the dynamic range will be similar to the Sigma FP's RAW as the sensors are probably similar.

probably 13 max

Considering the price point I am guessing it will be similar to the Pocket 6k, which is rather good. Not on par with RED's more expensive offerings tho

Definitely nice. Full frame 12bit at around 2k is crazy good. I have a feeling black magic is going to put out an affordable full frame camera soon.

I feel like you get a nice image as long as you white balance right. Switching from my GH5 back to Fuji and back to GH5 again the color difference is very noticeable.

?

With the right vari ND sharpness doesn't really get reduced, not noticeably at least. It can mess with the look of skin though as well as color shifting, but for run and gun its a must, unless you don't care about getting an exact Fstop.

I'd check out facebook, probably reddit too though facebook is easier as people's identity is more public on there

Find some local photography or video groups. With some social skills you can probably convince someone to let you play with their camera.

If you don't need a camera yes

Shooting in HLG kind of gets around the Sony color science. https://www.eoshd.com/2018/01/sony-a7r-iii-review-the-bbc-fixed-sonys-colour/ Andrew Reid who owns this site also makes Canon color LUTs for Sony, (EOSHD pro color) can be found on the top of the page. Also Sony color science had definitely improved. The A7S2 color was pretty nasty IMHO, but its better on the A73 at least the standard profiles.

I am not a huge fan of the flares, they can be distracting especially if over done (ahem star trek). That said I love the other characteristics they can have, especially the more funky lenses.

Everything looks like shit on youtube tho, 4k uploads are a lot better though, even if you watch them in 720p, they almost look better than 1080p uploads in 1080p.

Doesn't give you that anamorphic look though

Yeah that makes sense, why not have the best tool for the job. I think as an amateur he'd probably be happy with the A73 though. For something like sports I'd probably rather have something with more of a reach that S35 gives.

Very nice. I was shooting at 70mm in S35 mode and getting good results and that was without dual IS as it was an adapted lens.

I understand the D4 against an X-T2, however the A73 is a different beast. I imagine the AF might be a bit better but besides that how do you think the D4 would come out ahead?

hmmm looked pretty clean to me. Maybe you are viewing on a larger monitor tho
