Yes, ProRes RAW is true RAW and can therefore be converted to CinemaDNG, while Blackmagic RAW is not true RAW and therefore cannot be converted to CinemaDNG.

We used the small pocket on the gimbal two weeks ago during film production in Bulgaria and Greece, the road was very narrow and there was only one solution, the small pocket on the gimbal. We use the camera for certain scenes and whenever the Arri Alexa is used as an A-Cam. Do you know why? There is no modern camera that combines better with Arri Alexa except the older Blackmagic cameras. Smartphones will never replace it, because it's not the sensor size, but the sensor specifications, the color science, dynamic range and the possibilities in color grading. Some think that the sensor doesn't matter and that RAW or a good codec is all that matters. I can tell you from my experience with colorists that this is not true.

It's like kye writes, the og bmpcc is much closer to alexa. the og bmpcc is also often used professionally for filming, but unfortunately it does not always appear as the camera used. an example would be the movie tenet, where the og bmpcc was also used.

There you are not alone. 🙂 Somebody got excited https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=84865#p470888

Then something seems to be wrong with the SD cards? Just contact Kingston https://www.kingston.com/unitedstates/us/company/warranty

The SD cards slow down over time or it comes dropped frames. The solution was to first do an LLF (LowLevelFormat) on the card and then format it in the camera. Try it. Sometimes it was enough just to reformat the SD card in the camera again. We purchased angelbird SD cards some time ago. But these are very expensive. Then a colleague told us that the Canvas Select Plus (white green sticker) works just as well. We tested at 30fps raw (for an hour) and there were no drpped frames. If we had another alternative to og-bmpcc, we would certainly not buy rawlite, but another camera. But we chose it because og-bmpcc is still a great camera. 🙂

By the way. The only problem with the sensor is moiré. And the only good solution is rawlite olpf https://rawlite.com/

https://manualzz.com/doc/29120478/insert-month---fairchild-imaging An interesting report about Fairchild Dual Gain, you can find here: https://www.redsharknews.com/production/item/5985-modern-sensors-produce-amazing-images-how-do-they-do-it

There are a lot of people who think that the pocket or micro with the small super16 means retro look. But that is not true. What makes the old blackmagic cameras special is the sensor. The sensor is equipped with large photosite and a dual-gain architecture (the same as ALEV sensor).The development of such sensors took place at that time for arri. The goal at that time was to keep the analog Arri look, with the digtal sensor. And the fairchild sensor is the same, only in small (pocket and micro, super16), large photosite with 6.5microns, dual gain and strangely the image is also very close to the arri.

Agree. The fairchild sensor is very good. The different look on the new Blackmagic cameras, is a big reason why we're passing on it.

I would like to return to this contribution. Here it is claimed that the cDNG example is false details. I quote "Especially this image - what you're seeing on the DNG is not real information the DNG retained, it's CREATING it (falsely) and it can look like sharpness/detail when it's over areas of real detail, but it's a very "hard" and digital feeling look IMHO" That's not correct. The solution can also be found in your Blackmagic forum: http://54.172.192.242/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=51936&start=350#p310046 Or: https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=75290 The solution is very simple: "use the "pan/tilt" setting in the Color Tab (same values of 0.5 each)" Thanks to Dmitry Shijan for the advice! If DNG does false details, why is it that they are back by simple correction without affecting the sharpness? This is probably a firmware bug that has not been fixed by the Blackmagic team.

Look much more at the documentary shot, with the vignette. So it's a nice family video.

repeat that, but this time with the original pocket, micro or bmcc and you'll see, it's really filmic.
