I'm actually going say this first. I'm shocked at how wrong this is going, 3:1 BRaw should be at least as good as 4:1 DNG. But the issue you get with Raw, is it's a lower quality solution you get issues with. To get rid of false colour and/or noise, from the differences between.tje two codecs, you get rid of some detail too.
Oyvind, if you are doing FX, then you really need something like the Sigma foveon x3 layered colour filter sensor technology with maximal fill factor. That will give you true enough 4:4:4 without much gap between the pixels. Unfortunately, I don't know of a credible one for video, and even the Sigma one has compromised with lower resolution for the deeper layers deriving green and red primaries now. Sigma has patented a sensor, and a number of companies (Sony and Canon included) are working on their own version. The 7D mk2 I think is supposed to have one, but I don't think it has high fill factor (and thinking of the patent, the lower ones might be less). I have advocated BM should do a camera with the Sigma tech in the past, as they don't have a cinema camera and do deals. They could have done a Sigma Blackmagic Pocket, and instantly gone through the Sigma retail distribution network around the world with many good retailers picking it up. Now, the technology is probably just about out of original patent, and available, but the newer versions of the tech (like that patent) are probably what to aim for.
