Snowfun Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 One of the best things about getting a P4k from CVP is the fun one can have dissolving all the packaging bits (like tasteless Wotsits for those who know such things). In a 8Sinn cage it’s certainly quite large - just searched my wardrobe and definitely don’t have a suitably sized pocket. Right... initial review done so I’ll attach a lens...

I’m looking at the half cafe with Scorpio handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full one but without a handle. It provides good all round protection and sufficient bits to grip (albeit with the handle that’s not so important). The three function buttons are not as convenient (given the cage) as they might be but I suppose it’ll just take some getting used to. I do have nato rail handles so will probably fit one. The menu system is fabulous. 46 minutes ago, BTM_Pix said: You're clearly not searching hard enough. Nowhere near big enough! Did you see what Jim (yes, that Jim) has done for the titanium Hydrogen preorders? Now that is a “big pocket with long arms”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said it wold cost more, it will be damn near as big. This is suppose to be a POCKET camera, not a Cinema Scope camera. And for 4 grand you can buy a real Cine camera used. mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(mostly for skin tones, dynamic range) He had another video saying how he wouldn't review the eos r. I think after seeing how bad he missed focus here he might want to give that another thought. The skintones for the gh5 look pretty bad imo. Not sure if it was because of the LUT he was using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, right. And since they're about the same price, that seems like a no-brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the hell did I say Anything about a price? It is about the size! Price is irreverent. If I was rich, I kind of used to be, even a Arri Alexa LF wouldn't cost me shit for money compared to what I make. You act like everyone is poor as hell.

The GH5 is crippled when shot in V-LOG and the standard Panasonic LUT as it's designed for the varicam and not the GH5. Better to use HLG and Resolve color management to convert to REC709 (with all 3 cameras infact). I'm also not sure how relevant 3 stops under and over are to real world shooting as I doubt even the most cack-handed operator would get exposures this wrong but at least it proves what you pay for with the Alexa. It kind of confirms what I though though that the GH5 is not going to be significantly out performed by the P4k as long as you expose and WB it correctly and use the 10 bit 4.2.2 codec.

LoL, that could apply to a whole hell of a lot of cameras that are out now, and have been out for 5 years or more. Camera operator skill.?

majoraxis Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 From my experience with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera and color temperature, I found the BMCC looks better in daylight 5600k lighting rather than 3200k tungsten. I have read that this is the case with most modern sensors - they are optimized light sources closer to Daylight than tungsten. I am thankfully for the test being done, but shooting in daylight may have been a better light source for real world comparison sake. It would be nice to have seen the GH5 with GHAlex LUT. I saw the comment about using the version 4 color science with the Pocket the would be welcome as well. Adding these refinements and BRAW sensor output tuning (when available) and we may see that the Pocket 4k will be more competitive in the skin tone category against the Alexa. This test shows the potential but not the final image that can be had from the Pocket 4k pending BRAW and version 4 colors science is applied under Daylight conditions.

AaronChicago Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 This is true, unless you use an IR filter. The Rawlite OLPF has a built in IR cut that makes tungsten light look just as pleasing/accurate as daylight. IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majoraxis Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 @AaronChicago Great to know! I never thought of using and IR to fixed the look of the BMCC with tungsten - I will have to try that - thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
