In defense of CinemaDNG RAW 4:1 at 1600 ISO I had an easier time using noise reduction on the footage than BRAW 12:1 at 3200 ISO. This is mainly a compression issue. I'll do further tests at 3200 ISO with BRAW Q0 and 3:1 to ensure that I'm mainly seeing the noise reduction causing certain blockiness as an artifact of the compression. I guarantee that's it.
Either way, I've still shot 120 FPS at 800 ISO and produced some gorgeous imagery at BRAW 12:1. So, it's all a matter of proper exposure. But every filmmaker worth their gumption should know exposure is key.
If anything I'm happy with the G2 purchase. However, I do still wish BRAW could have come to the original URSA Mini 4.6K. It would have extended the life of it to make it a great B-Cam or C-Cam. I honestly wouldn't mind holding on to it and having it become a crash camera. So...
PLEASE BLACKMAGIC ADD BRAW TO THE URSA MINI 4.6K SO IT CAN BE A CRASH CAMERA FOR THE URSA MINI PRO MATCHING!? PLEASE? THANK YOU!
I love you Blackmagic Design.
