It is worth remembering: 1. we try not to be openly insulting on CML… it does not foster an environment of participation This is not quite the same as some other groups some of us participate in. 2.

Well said. The purist in me says raw all the time, and the more evolved realist knows when to pull those punches, without sacrificing one ounce of artistic integrity. Clark Graff VFX Supervisor,

I think you are missing their message, or not able to see and think beyond yours. As a youngish fart who is concerned with the entire dynamics of production and post, I think it makes sense to know

I just had a discussion last night with a producer after spending a few hours baby sitting nearly a full TB download with more on the way. Would have been so much more efficient and less expensive to

I agree. I just bought a BMD both for record and monitor. But I also got a few T5's for uncompressed green things. Nice that the camera can do both.

I will add that I am certainly not anti-RAW. There are certainly times where it is the right tool for the job. But I think that most of the time I would prefer to connect the Sigma FP to a small 5”

I agree. The quality of the 6K to 4K downres is limited by the processor power, and represents a form of compression. Better to just push 6K out to an SSD. One could argue it is actually an APS-C

Exactly. It will always be the case that processing is faster/better/cheaper off camera than on. If you want to record standard compression schemes in real time, just add an Atomos or BMD recorder.

One refreshing thing about CML for me is, that a large part of the group that participates in the discussions do have deep backgrounds in their field and speak from actual experiences on top tier

There's been some tests with Sigma fp. Almost a year ago Evin Grant did the 2020 large format camera shootout (blind) where he put Sigma fp among all the heavy hitters like Alexa LF, Red Monstro and

Michael I 100% agree on the joy of Samsung T5 or similar SSDs (more drop-proof than drives too!) and how they pay for themselves and delight people. I use multiple 860 EVOs which are decent,

This thread has derailed totally so it's nice to see a fp comment! I would like the next fp to dump out the whole 6K sensor or offer other crops of it. Whilst i understand the fierce my pixel is

Interestingly by default if I’m supplying drives I’ll now just supply SSDs (either T5 or Sandisk). When clients baulk at the cost I just send them the difference in time to offload a card to SSD

RE the Sigma fp... I hope they do a mk.2 with less rolling shutter (using an updated Sony sensor) and full sensor readout mode (the whole 3:2 area, pixel for pixel, not a weird 6K to 4K “Raw”

“I swear these threads always derail into a bunch of old farts yelling at each other to slow down” Oh dear, once again, these old farts have been pushing the technology to its limits for far

lol I swear these threads always derail into a bunch of old farts yelling at each other to slow down. Like, “Don’t push the Camery past 65 or Momma gonna find out!” It seems y’all know best:

Pawel, While I do agree with most of what you’re saying from a technical standpoint, I think you’re missing the point that Mitch and Geoff are making. Firstly, while uncompressed RAW is

“ask your DIT to run the Post numbers if you’re concerned about Budget and camera format. Usually they’re the smartest tool in the shed. “ Not my personal experience. I’ll stick

I’m sure you were trying to be colloquial and casually humorous in your post, but with all due respect I have to say that if a DIT said that to a DP on most sets I’ve been around than that person

Perhaps you should once again reread what I wrote. I did not reference Log RAW v Linear RAW (although I do not fully agree with your point anyway, but I digress). I state once again that 99% of
