He’ll have a 6 paragraph response to the announcement tomorrow.
I finally watched the release video. The additional footage by the engineering team helps a lot.
I see stuff there. It reminds me of when the gy-hd10 was released.
Saturated colours are boosted, skin tones greyish, and when you boost the skin tones to compensate it's looks over done. Same thing as I saw in the forestry example elsewhere. I'll have to see a successful grade to decide how this is going be in real life. Even Grant looks greyish, and yellow on the video.
The outdoor engineering scene has black shadows and better hightlights, it blown highlights to get good shadows (walking under the overpass). As I said, 16 stops and that will look better. I didn't realise the video was claiming really high end, which made me comment. 16:16:16 video, 16stops+, 16bit+, 16 stop signal to noise ratio. I see a negative film look. Arri are going keep going. Bayer was actually designed to be much better than the existing sensor patterns, which is why it has been a staple of pro cameras. White pixels are good. As long as you can still get Alexa level colour detail. But no armchair expert picked up on these things.
The question is how far can it be.pushed against an Alexa with its 12 bits.
Six paragraphs.
