Michael, I think it’s important to understand those parameters, but it’s not as bad as it sounds. Lifetime values are reported via SMART status on all SSD drives. There is a very handy utility for Mac

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 prod

Thanks Mitch. Very good explanation. Alas no short-cuts for the camera test then. My use for the Pantone collection is actually on the back-end of the process. Just a few weeks ago I was grading a maj

That’s an interesting point. On numerous occasions for color work I’ve referenced this site that catalogs the full range of skin tones for Pantone: https://humanae.tumblr.com/. It details the wide ran

That’s when you’d switch to the F5 (same sensor as FS7, better ergonomics) and it supports the Sony recorders and O-XCN. Of course with a $7K recorder you're no longer in the $10K camera budget. If I

That’s a fair distinction. However, at the below $10K market these options are limited. We were speaking of the FS7, which does not record RAW natively but can via the Odyssey record CDNG. It also has

It’s not so much the ability to process RAW, but the card space on set and the transfer times (assuming you use CDNG RAW files). The FS7 gets heavy use in the corporate editorial and general interview

Add the FS7 to that. It can record RAW (via extension unit) and has the same sensor as the F5. Though it’s hobbled by providing only 12bit linear RAW signal, which may disqualify it for some people, a

The Sony IDT has two transforms - one to convert SGamut to ACES color space and one to convert slog3 to linear gamma. In theory they should yield the same result as the default custom mode or Sony sup

A custom LUT is definitely the way to go given your camera configuration. With the FS7 and 7Q+ you will be shooting in slog3 and will need a correction LUT for that as well. But since you can only loa
