400% digital zoom should be 3k. Those shots look better than what I'm seeing here from YouTube. The shirt and the far off green grass still look a bit punchy, which seems to get worse as you try to raise colour. I've got American grass here is my lawn (quickly being overwhelmed unfortunately), have a little tiny but idea about the colours. I was starting to think it just looked like a modern JVC GY-HD10, an early CMOS hybrid colour pattern camera. Could do an lovely look, but punched the the top end saturation up, and terrible noise in low light, like People complain about in cdng, but in mpeg low bit rate. One of my broken sub $100 pocket cameras leaves it for dead. I was thinking of examining the noise in detail here to see if it looked the same. But, I would have to see dim light noise.
Yeah, John's blowups reminds me of the HD10. I'm so disappointed that JVC stopped doing this advanced stuff. An update of their cinema camera (500) model, would have been interesting. I was waiting for the 4k version of the hybrid consumer camera. They even had the consumer hybrid fullhd recording 4k, and promise of short time release, then Dead. Canon did a similar hybrid camera, and dropped the ball. Panasonic kept showing a hybrid camcorder, but never released it. Every one I wanted to buy, cancelled, in the last nearly 20 years. It's insane. They couldn't do 2kp50 on the pocket, as I like to film sports. They didn't do 4kp50 on the micro, as 4k was the future by then. They made the 4k pocket big, clunky, and reduced dynamic range (so they reckon, but extra stops were still there to be extracted), in the time where 8k could have been. This thing is big expensive, and despite the quibbles, I would be in if it was cheap and smaller. So, a fullframe pocket or next micro, I would like to see, as no other company is making a camera with the competencies I now require (things change over time). This year the micro update, or fullframe, never came, both of which were next logical step. Here we have something that is too far out there. Even if I was rich, the weight of it is going tear into my arms on a bad day in minutes, and there are a lot of people out there I think, who have similar issues. Not really around here, but it's about who you can sell the camera legitimately too. I love pocket cameras, but it's about how to fully control them to produce better images. BM could hunt the old Sanyo pocket camera team down, they did interesting stuff, even what I used to post them. They had a feel for a better camera for the price. Panasonic bought them out before they could do a 4k pocket, a real shame. Anyway, next camera please BM (don't worry, a lot of people are far behind me ussually. Like when I was one of the first people here on Maya. I thought great, I can do this or and that and the other, to find it was dead primitive, and I was already thinking they would have figured out Avatar level stuff, which is how I was thinking of designing stuff since the early 90's, late 80's. They can't even hit minimum quality levels of design for what can be done. Even Alexa didn't. Can you imagine if they released a 4k version back then at up to 60fps, would Red be a company charging as much as they do, with no extra resolution monkier to claim in marketing? They should be 8k or IMAX by now).
