  1. I think that GP may go 1 inch or larger, but only under the extreme pressure of Insta360 and DJI and iphone, etc. The major concern is that the af is much harder than 1/1.9 inch. I highly hope that either Panny or Oly comes out with a small form factor u3/4 cam like Sony RX0 ii, but can do 6k to 8k 10 bit log open gate, great ibis and video af, like s5 iix or g9 ii or om1.

    GP12 can record unprocessed raw audio separately simultaneously and save into the same folder. Is there any workflow (prefer free instead of costly addons) to process this raw audio in Resolve to get good sound? Something like AI sound noise reduction in iphone? Thx.

    How to improve the audio of gp12? It works Ok indoor, but does not even in light wind, which is the Achilles' heel for gp12. I watch some youtube videos, iphones now have some great functions to deduct background noise from wind, dish washer, dryer, etc. Very impressive. Can we have this on gp12?

    So now as gp12 has live histogram, 10 bit log, 200 mpbs, seems that gp12 can do some serious log shooting. Does gp publish any white paper on glog shooting? Typically, in order to protect the highlight, log transformation suppresses the 100% ire to 60% - 70%, depending on manufacturers and models. What is the 100% ire equivalent glog % ire? What is the native dr of gp 12? The Labs app defaults histogram to 5, maybe we need change it to 11? How much improvement of dr can log have over hdr? I used hdr 5.3k, 24p, 10 bit, high bit rate, linear plus horizontal leveling, hypersmooth auto, vibrant color, high sharpness, high raw audio, wind auto, for a testing shoot. Seems dr is OK, color is Ok but not great, even breeze clips the sound severely. The hypersmooth is excellent, basically tripod proof. Wide range panning is great due to the horizontal leveling. I can see clearly heavy noise in the dark area and details in dark area are not good, kind of muddy. (I did not do anything to in camera nr at the time). Seems that in order to improve the image quality, the only way to go is to shoot 10 bit log, bitr = 200, wide = 1, nr = 0, sharpness low, aiming the brightest at 2/3 of the histogram, etc? More suggestions? Thx.

    thx boss. i finally figured it out. in qrcode app, there is a tab called extension. there are many items in the pull down menu. the description can be found at th gp labs website. all of these are advanced features. gp is very smart, this way isolates experts from green hand totally, minimizing complaining and liability. now gp 12 even has a live histogram, basically i can do manual exposure. and the tonemapping, etc. these features make gp12 very interesting now. i will enjoy playing this little toy for a long time.
  6. Very nice footage. How did you manage to move the F3 camera? I see you almost have movement in every shot.

    how to turn off the noise reduction in gp12? i cannot find the option in the setup menu in pro mode. i turn the sharpness to low for the 10 bit log. also, the labs beta firmware has only high and standard bit rate options. i cannot find the 180 mbps option. thx.
  8. After watching the Creator, I feel the camera plays such a small part in the final product, I am attracted to the story and characters much more, and totally forget the movie was shot by the tiny fx3. I suspect that the movie should be more suitable to be shot by 30 5d3 ml raw.
  9. the selfie girl is pretty though, lol.
  10. I have personal experience confirming this. Once I shot a famous local scene site using 5d3 ml raw plus a b4 cine lens with a matt box. A group of travelers were very impressed and one of them said "such an impressive big camera". Notice them mentioned camera not lens not matt box.
  11. the brand of red is gradually out of fashion now. but there is no denial old reds esp mysterium-x and dragon sensors have their mojos, just like f35, alexa ev.
  12. r1mx r3d footage is so smooth to edit, rendering time is the same as or even better than 4k xavc480 or prores hq or mpeg or avchd in 4k time line.
  13. https://www.dvxuser.com/forum/panasonic-video-cameras/hmc-cams/217372-panasonic-hmc150-or-sony-ex1 seems ccd beats cmos at panning, but losses at low light.
  14. just did some research, you are right, ex1 ex3 are cmos based. always thought they are ccd based. anyways, good to know, will pass.
  15. you are right that his style fits most of us. in his reply he mentioned that he was involved in narrative feature making at LA, but he sees most dps have broken relationship so he changes to high end news and corporate to have a balanced life.
  16. i followed cranky's channel for some time now. i accidentally stumped on his video on amira, which he thinks the best eng cam.
  17. ex1/3 has 3 ccds, pmw200 and later uses 3 cmoss. i never care those 1/2 inch 3-cmos cams.
  18. Actually I like EX1/EX3 color better than FS7/FS5/FX9/FX6 etc. That CCD vintage wine tastes well.
  19. He used ex3 as the crash cam for his fx9. Makes sense.
  20. iPhone starting from 14 has very good ibis. Very usable. Some people do 1-2 hours shooting continuously.

    R1mx and scarlet Mx can complement each other. R1mx for tripod, scarlet for handheld.
  23. I guess that Sony sponsored the Creator movie, and requested to use Sony cameras. DP decided to use FX3 to have fun. And it is the best marketing strategy for FX line cameras.
