Curves and Bit Depth - was Sigma fp
I've had one of these since it first came out and it is an amazing camera for it's size and cost. I've spent a lot of time ripping apart the RAW and working out where it's limitation are (for me), thi

9x7 Large Format Camera Announced
Who do you see as the audience for the camera - IMHO i think it's quite specific but i think a lot of folks might be looking at this as a generic cine camera which i don't think it is. Looking in Nuke

ProRes "RAW"?
I can't say what Panasonic and Atomos are doing but i can point out that the sigma fp has possibly the same sensor and will output RAW DNGs to a USB3 SSD (or a lower depth DNG to an SDXD card internal

The Results: Budget Camera Skin Tone
As per your previous comment, it's the Reds that Sony produces that IMHO causes more workflow issues than anything else. Natively they're outside 709 space. If you use RAW then you can manage that muc

The Results: Budget Camera Skin Tone
No skin in the game but i used to have an FS700 and the F7 isn't that different. IMHO the onboard colourscience is terrible or at least skewed towards a different aesthetic. SGamut is as well. Anythin

FCPX color science - LUTs and EV
I believe Apple have chosen that colourspace in order to present a brighter, more saturated UI experience. And i suspect it's the primary choices more than any other part of the P3 standard. iPhones,

BRAW codec - analysis
Nice analysis Daniel, I was trying to work out whether there is any benefit to storing both G rather than an average, it is feasible that a CFA has two different greens to help extend dynamic range. N

Where did you find them? Me too. So demosaiced in camera but not doing all the colour matrix stuff is not really RAW is it? That's something like RWG/LogG10 although perhaps the RGB is really XYZ spac

I think they've output since v9, we're on v11 at the moment. I think all the product versions write prores (base Nuke upwards) They output all flavours properly, including alphas and 4444 and even 444
