gethin Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I thought this was interesting. http://thenewcamera.com/list-of-sony-sensors-to-be-used-in-upcoming-dslr-and-mirrorless-worlwide/ I know this is speculation central, but that apsc sensor looks promising. Of course no idea of readout and dynamic range, but 8k is coming for good or ill Mako Sports 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranciscoB Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 8k will be a nightmare for editing and storage. No thanks. BenEricson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart0less Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 The IMX671AQR (43MP APS-C) looks like a good candidate for a Fuji X-H2. Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Hummus Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 The 4/3rd IMX594CQR is intriguing. 41MP but only shoots 4K DCI. I wonder if it does 4K 120p. Panasonic, this most likely candidate for 8K, said they aren’t ready for it in 2020. So that either means no GH6 this year, or a non-8K GH6 with oversampled 4K which would be beautiful. gethin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gethin Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 I still master in 1080p, but being able to reframe the 4k image is fab. I agree that 8k will be a nightmare to handle but there are 2 upsides (and slim ones at that). It gives me the potential to crate stock footage that has more longevity than 4k, and it would allow me to master in 4k and still pan and scan. With Australia's pitiful broadband network i can't see 4k being required for 3 or 4 years at least, but having stock that I can use in 4 years time would be great. I will look hard at a 6k or 8k Fuji camera, I'm liking what I'm seeing there, and Im a fan of apsc for a bunch of reasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majoraxis Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Looking forward to seeing if BLackmagic will use either of the new Sony sensors. Seems to me that 8k maybe a great resolution for BRAW to record in, to deliver full 4K resolution after all of the file size reduction used to compress the images for BRAW storage and allow people to stabilize, reframe and zoom in post and then still deliver 4K. That said, I am fine with watching 1080pm video so delivering 1080p from 8k BRAW could be a great creative workflow as well, if it does not crush your computer in the editing process. I’m not so much worried about storage size with BRAW, so give us the 8k cameras and we’ll figure out how to use it or not. gethin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
