Ok, I've reported you two disrespectful bean brains. How dare you come sniffing around causing trouble for your own amusement, after Rakesh copied my ussual argument as his own. It is extremely unlikely you know more than me, or have the talent to decide so.
Sean, it is very simple, don't listen to either of these two. When the sensor you are buying uses the normal prepaid colour filter
design, the cost is built in. By selling many manufacturers the same colour filter design on the same sensor, the cost is reduced per sensor. So say the pocket 4k has one type of colour filter for consumer video and the pocket used another for machine vision
To get close to the look of the old pocket, you would need to especially create a colour filter to do so for the 4k, that costs heaps as a special job for a 4k and sales aren't enough, but little if it's standard on the pocket, or you simply colour correct as
much as you can in software. So, therefore the BMPCC look might be expensive if you have to remake the filter specially to do it. But, if the sensor has another similar filter available as standard, then it could be a lot cheaper.
If only I had posted a link to that nano camera that fits in you ear, as proof you design to form on the high volume end too, as desired. It might have stopped them patting each other on their backs. But, remember simplistic universes versus complex reality, who are you going trust, Apple or Google?
