Its not normal but I don't know why its happening

Those red dots show up in your footage? Seems like a sensor defect not an issue of pushing the footage too far.

Post in the GHAlex thread, Sage who made the LUT responds directly there

10 or 8 bit? Not sure if you are supposed to expose normally with the GHAlex lut.

Doesn't the higher compression make it less robust? Although I guess the EVA1 shoots in H264 and gets about 14 stops(probably closer to 13), but still very high. Maybe they are handicapping it then ?

Yes but the codec will be 10 bit H264 not 12 bit, which I am assuming is more limiting.

I don't think the H264 codec is capable of the same dynamic range the RAW codec is. Not a tech guy so obviously I could be wrong.

If its not cinema DNG, I guess the external prores RAW could be beneficial as file sizes would be smaller.

What about dnxhd?

Yeah I don't see why internal prores hasn't happened yet. I guess for less pro users smaller files are appealing.

No raw tho Those actually aren't that much used. A bit more than the Fs700 but not bad

Yeah I am probably gonna go for a used Metabones BMPCC speedbooster. Getting an APSC field of view is just too tempting to pass up. The Metabones XL is definitely more future proof though as the BMPCC speedbooster is pretty much only useful on the Blackmagic Pocket.

2 years later and these are selling used for around $500! Just got one about a week ago. Its really not a bad camera for what you get. Great color science, internal log, downsampled 6k with decent rolling shutter, respectable low light performance. 3 years from now it will be amazing what cameras like the XT3 or GH5S or Nikon Z6 might be selling for. Shot this a couple days ago with the XT2.

I agree on the touchscreen part. I'd get an external recorder if Fuji offered CDNG 12bit 444 output.

I'll probably pick on of these up when they start popping up used. I think having a bigger screen is super useful and I really have no need to record externally. This one is pretty bright and has half the power consumption of a Ninja V as well as being half the weight. For me 5in is the ideal size. Bigger than that and its too bulky for small SLR's.

Looks like an interesting movie. I haven't been able to make myself watch it yet.

Definitely and I'm mostly in the same boat. However for those who do need it there's now an option in a very compact cheap package, with a pretty remarkable full frame sensor.

Why would they advertise full Vlog if it will be capped? I don't know if HLG is capped, it may be just the sensor in video mode doesn't get that great of dynamic range. Its only doing 10 bit HEVC. But yeah I agree, the upgrade wouldn't be worth it if Vlog isn't offering more dynamic range. I take that back, the good thing about Vlog is there are a ton of LUTS for it. The other good thing is H264 in vlog will be edit ready(for some systems). HEVC is kind of unusable without transcoding for most people. I wonder if 72mpbs HEVC is equal to H264 150mbps. I kind of doubt the S1 will take away from Varicam sales much. I can't see anyone wanting to get a Varicam settling on an S1.

I find the GH5 body perfect in terms of comfortable handling. I like small bodies as long as the grip is nice (the original BM Pocket is a good example). However I'd gladly take a larger body if If a smaller one means overheating. Everyone has different preferences of course. I actually think the Fuji cameras are a good compromise for smaller body and smaller lenses. Their 23, 35 and 50mm f2 are tiny, and the 18-55 is pretty small too considering its a zoom lens. Again though the grip on the XT3 and 2 is too small for my taste, I'd prefur an XH1 size body.

Thats odd, people I know have found more dynamic range in HLG. Which to me makes sense as Vlog dynamic range is capped on the GH5 and GH5S. HLG having a half stop more DR brings the GH5S closer to the BMPCC4K, which makes sense because they both share a similar sensor. IMHO the best test of dynamic range to me is over under tests on human subjects. You can see where skintones become unusable and its just more practical then those charts Cinema5d uses. Just in terms of noise for instance the XT3 shadows are cleaner than the original BM Pocket, however the pocket maintains colors much better where the XT3 starts looking washed out.

The Z6 certainly has drawbacks but external recorder or not Full Frame 12 bit 444 is a really cool option for $2500 or under. Motion Cadence is not something that can be fixed in post but getting 12 bit 444 out of 10 bit files isn't something that can happen either. I don't think anyone other than the types that hang out on these forums will call you out on motion cadence. If one needs auto focus switching to internal recording is not a bad option. Nikon lets you import custom profiles to the camera so no internal log is not really a big issue IMO. I can say I am pretty excited about what Nikon will do next, not so much for Canon. Saying that I am certainly the type to chase the film look or else I wouldn't have purchased the original BMPCC and have pretty much decided not to purchase any full frame cameras.

The Pocket 4k will probably be my next purchase in 2020. The URSA mini 4k is tempting too but its hard to beat the Pocket's size and price point, and image quality for that matter. The FS700 odyssey combo is amazing but I don't think I'd like the ergonomics. There is a thread going on DVXuser about if the FS700 is worth it in 2019, everyone was still happy with theirs and weren't even planning on switching, that says a lot.

Even at a $6000 price?

ah that makes sense, thanks man Yeah I wanted to get it from a US supplier so it will come faster, the ones with the Nikon plugs are a lot cheaper I wanted to save a few dollars lol. I could always cut off the plug and replace with a traditional DC plug.

I am looking to buy this dummy battery for my BMPCC link But I have no idea what kind of connector this is, usually they have the standard DC connectors. Been searching google but apparently I am a dumbass
