Sorry, but having LOG does not mean "huge compression" at all. Maybe you mix up things - like you bring in also AVC or HEVC to the process, those ones have such poor bit depth (8 or 10bit),

I’m surprised that, now that it’s open source, no camera manufacturer has adopted Cineform RAW. Wavelet compression, compact files that work nicely with Resolve (et al) — not to mention freedom

I like having a raw option, but I don't see any point in uncompressed raw. It's a waste of space, even for workflows requiring raw since even a lossless codec can save a lot of space, and a clip based

Because uncompressed RAW means huge files that take up a lot of disk space, take a lot of time to transfer, and require considerable computer power to deal with. But with Log encoding you get the vast

[Mitch Gross] I would expect that Log encoding is more useful to a vast number of CMLers and DPs in general than Uncompressed RAW recording. Why? Kind Regards, Pawel Achtel ACS B.Eng.(Hons)

Hey Pawel, It doesn’t have genlock or time code inputs. We jammed it with LTC timecode over the mic input on the last show I used it on. Camera read the timecode and laid it down as timecode

12 bit RAW is not the only option, it's just one of many with bit rates from 410 to 2980. But the idea that you can record up to 12 bit RAW 4K with only the addition of a tiny, inexpensive SSD is

You can get full DCI and 24fps with the BMD Video Assist 12G recording BRAW.

Ø Perhaps someone can tell me what's wrong with it? It doesn’t have genlock or time code inputs. It lacks 24fps and 30 fps, only 29.97, 25fps and 23.98 fps in RAW and doesn’t do high frame

The rolling shutter was fairly slow, about 20ms from my memory. For use as a stills camera the AF was fairly poor. And errrr the full time rolling shutter for a stills camera was a bit on the slow

Thanks. It think it's time to give one a try. With a gimbal stabilizer and small, light camera, one could do a lot for a little.

There really isn't in my opinion much wrong with the fp, except for being from a company that isn't known for cameras, even though it's been making cameras for a long time. IMO the relatively low

This tiny full frame 5.9K Bayer sensor L-mount camera shoots 4K Cinema DNG (8 bit internally, 12 bit with a tiny USB SSD drive attached) and outputs via HDMI to a Blackmagic Video Assist 12G (BRAW)

Great looking stuff. Very subtle beauty at work. -- Guy Mastrion Creative_Director_DP_Professor www.linkedin.com/in/guymastrion insta: gmastrion

Future camera sensors will not necessarily be Super35, Bayer sensor, or CMOS. Human rod cells are only 2um and there are 120 million of them very densely packed. They can sense a single

I had a similar train of thought a few weeks ago when we were using led panel backgrounds for car shots. The array vehicle had wide lenses, which is okay because it’s lenses are closer to the side

Amen. Not to mention the lack of perspective shift In the blown up frames. There was an article about this in the SMPTE Journal in 1978 or so about shooting in high resolution, 65mm at the time and

Ø There would seem to be a point in sensor resolution where you wouldn't need primes or an optical zoom at all. Just one very sharp and extremely fast lens. I’ve been filming extremely high
