sanveer Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 http://www.dji.com/product/zenmuse-x5s Shooting in RAW is a huge surprise!I don't know why (12.8 stops of dynamic range amd 2.3x crop), but this seems to have the GH4 sensor. I have this strange feeling that the GH4 was crippled by Panasonic (like almost all manufacturers do) to ensure that it doesn't entrench upon some other lineup. And that the GH4 CAN shoot Raw Video at 30p (maybe even higher frame rates). Btw, this aeral drone is officially the First Micro Fourth Third Sensor to shoot Raw video. Wow. I am also guessing that Panasonic will introduce RAW in its DVX200 via a firmware, since it is capable of shopting raw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 No 1080p/2k options? Specs seem to shows only 3 resolution choices at 30fps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimitBreak Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 They are announcing two different models, the more expensive X5R model has some crazy 1.7 Gbps video bitrate with a max of 2.4 Gbps Bitrate, also records in D-Log mode lossless CinemaDNG Raw on a 512GB SSD option. To support the management of Zenmuse X5R Cinema DNG files, DJI will release software to edit and convert RAW camera footage. CineLight, which will be available when the Zenmuse X5R camera is released later this year, simplifies users’ workflows by offering offline proxy editing before converting the CinemaDNG files to ProRes. These specs almost make high end DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras a joke for video production, specs wise.The Zenmuse X5 is available for pre-order at store.dji.com for $4,499 (€4,999), including a DJI Inspire 1 and DJI’s MFT 15mm F1.7 ASPH lens, and will begin shipping before the end of September. The Zenmuse X5R will be available in Q4 2015 for $7,999 (€8,799).So they are not going to sell it solo ?The R model seems to have a Gimbal and a mount as well beside the extra features and the SSDNo 1080p/2k options? Specs seem to shows only 3 resolution choices at 30fpsResolutions:4096x2160(23.98p),3840x2160(29.97/23.98p),2704x1520(30/25P),1920x1080(59.94/29.97p)Specs page link:http://www.dji.com/products/compare-xcamera Jimmy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonis Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Wow..what a great addition to the Inspire platform by DJI.This, combined with the user friendliness of the dual remote control + app makes it very attractive for low/medium budget flyers.

tosvus Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Now if a good grip would be constructed you would have a stabilized 4k mft camera that shoots raw.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 If the camera is as good as they claim a lot of non drone flyers will want to buy the camera by itself!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chris Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 The X5 is listed on the DJI site, camera body and gimbal $1699 without lens.http://store.dji.com/product/zenmuse-x5-gimbal-camera-lens-excluded?from=related_products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattH Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Anyone else feel like this was too much information to take in all at once today? I had to take a break.Some questions that spring to mind: (havent checked thoroughly for answers)1. What is the readout speed? It it the same as the GH4 due to being limited by the sensor, or is faster due to different processing/cooling.2. Is the 4k and QHD native crop like it is in the GH4? I would assume it is, but what about HD, is that also a crop, or the QHD downscaled, or the full sensor downscaled?3 Is the mini SSD proprietary? Shooting 4k raw is going to need some extra media.

Xavier Plagaro Mussard Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I don't use RAW, but aerials is one area where it really makes sense, exposure changes a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I want this camera without the drone I want it for both a drone and a handheld gimbal camera! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
