Nikon just paired with Atomos to provide external RAW recording on their Z6 and Z7 via HDMI to Ninja V, which records to ProRes RAW.
I guess probably Atomos has already paid a huge amount of royalty fee to Apple to get ProRes RAW on their external devices, so they might as well use it to its full potential. And indeed they are bringing affordable film-making to a whole new level.
But I don't really embrace ProRes RAW, since it is proprietary and I don't think it's coming to Windows or Linux any time soon. It seems that Apple is trying to buy people into their FCPX & macOS ecosystem with ProRes RAW.
Another really important factor is that Resolve does not support ProRes RAW yet. I asked a staff member at BIRTV last year about ProRes RAW support (which was before the release of BRAW), and she refused to give any information.
BRAW is perfect (if they can get it to BMPCC 4K ASAP it would be perfecter?) but for now the choice of cameras are limited to Blackmagic products. And BRAW is open source so I don't see BMD really trying to trick people into buying their products over other alternatives. But ProRes RAW (with Atomos promoting it like crazy) already supports all the cameras shogun has supported and now with the addition of Z6 and Z7.
I don't know, maybe BMD should team up with Convergent Design? I really wish to see BRAW reaching more and more cameras and recorders, and make budget film making even more friendly (without those very budget-unfriendly Apple stuff).
Just rambling.
Your thoughts?
