So is this the first hybrid camera to natively offer RAW video? I would never have guessed that Nikon would be first. IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ND64 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I admit I'm shocked, but how they deliver 4k raw from 6k and 8k sensor? Its a crop or some kind of interpolation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff_L Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Oh wow, unbelievable ! I was so happy about the Z6, but still uncertain about a possible firmware to fix some meh stuffs.... but this... shocked ahah ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offering RAW output does not mean bypassing the underlying sensor readout drive limitations (sub-LVDS 12bit readout). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BasiliskFilm Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Well at the very least it looks like they are still working on updates which is good news. Maybe there will be improvements to AF beyond the addition of EyeAF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Romero 2 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 So is this the first camera to offer RAW over HDMI??? (I think most cameras that offer RAW either do it over SDI or USB C, don't they???) Or does the BMPCC4k have RAW over HDMI? Jeez... this is pretty tempting now. 4K 60p would be nice. And having N Log internally would be nice as well (but if I need to get a Ninja V for recording RAW then I guess it is a moot point, huh?) Darn... kind of wish I had held on to my Nikon glass...

Since it does Internal RAW or to an SSD though, it wouldn't benefit from having it on HDMI - you can get the same end result with a much cheaper, or even no monitor.

So yeah, I guess that means the Z6 / Z7 will be the first to offer RAW over HDMI then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a crop or some kind of interpolation? The Z6 already downsamples from 6K to get its in-camera 4K output, so assuming it's done early enough in the processing pipeline they can send the output as RAW over HDMI instead of encoding it to h264 and writing it to the memory card. I have a feeling an APS-C crop might be necessary for raw output on the Z7, as the line-skipping it uses for full-sensor 4K would make for some fugly RAW video.

DBounce Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I recall seeing some test that seemed to suggest that Prores Raw was no better than regular prores. What's the verdict? Is this really a big step up from log, or just hype? Does this mean the AF issues will be resolved when recording externally? It all seems rather compelling.
