Okay two-parter and this is from me, a technical luddite: Is the concept of a digital camera's ability to make nice or not-so-photorealistic skintones a factor based at the sensor level or is it furth

HI folks, this just came up again in a chat w/ colleagues... VV is stated all over the place, yet nobody seems to know the exact size of the format.... So... what is the exact size of the VV format in

This is moving away from RAW etc but… I don’t like the rush to FF, it is causing all kinds of focus issues. I can see why it’s likes for some things. I’m confused about the new Canon C700FF, it’s real

Hi all I have an upcoming project where I will be shooting Open Gate Arriraw with an Alexa Mini and Super Baltars that will be output to 35mm film by Fotokem. The film is meant to evoke Visconti's Lud

I don't know what's happened to CML recently but this personal backstabbing needs to end. Disagreements are fine. Illustrate how you think you are correct vs. how someone else is incorrect, but leave

Hey all, A quick question attempting to confirm what I've long held to be true: will a "RAW" camera image lose it's flexibility once debayered and exported to any "closed" picture format other than th

Linear raw Bayer formats are a relatively space efficient method of storing full range sensor output with minimal compromise. Only the luminance value for each pixel is written to the file. So it is o

So… Looks like there’s gonna be a new compressed Raw format on the block - and thanks to the Atomos Inferno and Sumo, a whole bunch of cameras will be recording to it: https://www.apple.com/final-cut-

OK, so I’m doing a new batch of camera evaluations in July, I’m trying to make this an annual event at the same time every year. I’ll be doing the usual latitude tests with the range extended to +/- 5

I thought I’d start a new thread as the last one is all over the place 😊 I’ve been looking at previous tests and comparing the same cameras, admittedly with different firmware versions, under differen
