Emanuel Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 What puzzles me is the way a cine specs list could ignore 120fps nowadays... it's beyond me :- ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the framerates above, it will very likely do 5.8K 2.39:1 at 120fps. Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I guess so but that's the fact they're only focused on flooding us with paper specs other than real world features instead :- ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Hummus Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I'm interested in what they do behind the sensor to give us that Venice "cinema" look. Obviously that all secret sauce. The technology gap between Sony's prosumer cameras and these super high end is narrowing. Seems to be all in the processing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I doubt this camera output won't be much superior... : ) I guess you mean high-end and prosumer in general is narrowing, that one I buy : ) Three decades ago when I was still starting my path someone who came later to VP of Sony Europe told me very straightforward: "Don't think you'll ever see the same IQ from one to another end because business will never allow it..." I still believe he was pretty honest in those words addressed to me :- ) BTW, I met him at the Lisbon Sony's showroom then when he came there to take a look on some new slides device from their photography consumer range. He was the responsible for Portuguese Sony Broadcast & Industry division in the beginning of 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 One of the reasons I immediately embraced Jim's vision on his Red endeavour from day one ; ) Blackmagic Design is what RED didn't succeed to be : ) And today, I come here to the pioneering effort put by our webmaster to respond @kye or @mercer when they wonder themselves why I relegate to a second place the traditional manufacturers ;- ) Even though I always salute their progress (half dozen of Canons and more than a dozen of Panasonic cameras over my inventory yet nowadays :- ) Zeng 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

androidlad Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 Sensor is based on IMX610 from α1, but with 16 SLVS-EC 4.6Gbps lanes, intead of 8. The sensor itself cosumes over 5W power. There's no DRAM. ADC operates at 14bit at 1/250s readout at all times (meaning 4ms rolling shutter in all recording modes). Later paid firmware updates may unlock 8.6K 3:2 open gate up to 72fps, 8.6K 2.39:1 up to 120fps.

ntblowz Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 The reason for not includeing phase detection on Venice is interesting Quote “When you start showing very high quality moving images on very big screens the pattern created on the face of the sensor by the AF phase detection pixels and the wires that interconnect them start to show up as a very faintly visible fixed pattern (it's rarely noticed in still or static images). So the sensors used for Venice don't have any AF detection sites and that's why Venice doesn't have AF. In very dark scenes these patterns can sometimes be seen in FX6 and FX9 footage as a form of fixed pattern noise that never changes or moves.” kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Panasonic, but they are missing a very important, yet still optional at a flick of a switch, feature. Hope they fix it. sanveer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanveer Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Curiously the fixed pattern noise, that appears static across frames is something I noticed in one of stars wars films (one of the 2 last ones). I thought it was a bad case of adding film grain, after shooting on a digital camera. Also, strangely, it was during one of the daytime shots, and not low light ones, like Sony explains in their reasoning doe not including PDAF. kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly, if you look really hard you can see the "stitching lines" on some shots showing skys in Miracle on the Hudson shot on Alexa 65, because the sensor is "stitched" using three A2X recticles.

LOL, yeah all those countless documentaries I'e watched filmed on C100, C200, C300, FX9 and on and on were unwatchable with horrible fixed pattern PDAF noise.
