Hero 11 shoots "IMAX":

Yes, the true IMAX aspect ratio (1.43:1) from the full Hero 11 8/7 sensor (and 10bit color).

The uploaded video has no horizontal bars, nor are sides cutoff - there is just more vertical resolution, useful for filming large spaces like Grand Central Terminal. Looks great on Apple Pro laptops, which are less widescreen.

5.3K resolution is more than some (ARRI) IMAX-approved cameras.

No, this does not make me Christopher Nolan.

Thank you for your cooperation.

OK, now we have with the latest GoPro Labs firmware the ability to use a color gamut (WIDE) that contains all the color the sensor can recognize, way wider than REC709.

Almost twenty years ago or not so far, this level of footage coming from so tiny form factor (body-worn, go figure!) capture devices would put all of us on the edge of the most legit excitement through these or some other boards, this is the pure and straightforward truth...

Why not today anymore?

Or people now are merely obsessed in-between latitude and the whole subjective mantra on organicity of the outcome?

Read it as cinematic structure of the elements to frame, among them the infamous skin tones palette to celebrate this art and craft as the most human synthetic medium.

 

And then?

People tend to forget filmmaking is not reality in the same proportion they/we all seek the organic Holy Grail, it's all about something anyhow undeclared fake. That's it.

It is what it is.
