Nice review...for me personally having some S5 org and P6K org I would tend to buy S5iiX and pair it with a video assist 12 G to get Braw. For sure for format option with the new Blackmagic. Kind of hoping that Pana will pull out a new top tear camera. Anyway happy new year
Hey Paule, a small sidekick if you don't mind. If you export or deliver video, do you always use the 2.4 gamma? I use mac osx and like others have the challenge of having footage look good on all media. (thank you apple)
Thanks mate. I have shot on the FX3 and a7iv for a project. I think the overall image of Sony looks very digital to me whereas the Blackmagic has a very organic look. Also the lack of Shutter angle and other features that I find inherent to cinema cameras are not in the FX3 so hands down I would pick the Blackmagic
I slightly preferred the colors of the Komodo; the reds were a little richer, and the blacks were a touch more neutral. But we're talking maybe a 5%-10% difference in IQ, for a camera that's 4x as expensive. The Blackmagic cameras have always been an insane value for your money.
Not sure you did the latitude test correctly. What ISO did you use for overexposure? How did you grade it? Color management or lut? Highlight recovery? tons of questions since I get the most latitude out of this camera than any other camera I've tested Edit** I read some of your comments and see that you used ISO 400. I would redo the test using ISO 800 for the overexposure. Remember, there's no such thing as native ISO when shooting raw plus you get better highlight sensitivity with higher ISO values. Not sure how you graded it but highlight recovery would absolutely do wonders, which would entail capturing at 800, lowering in post to 100 and clicking highlight recovery (this is what BMD suggests and it works very well)
Thanks for your feedback. So I conduct these tests as CVP or others doing it. For the stake of best comparability always the native ISO is used. Sure you could get more Highlight information with a higher ISO but what’s the comparison then to other cameras.
@@pauleporterdp ok. My point is that native ISO is a mistake when shooting raw, as it gives the camera at 800 an advantage of 1 stop in the highlights due to the shift in middle gray. Also, there is no such thing as native ISO when shooting raw. Blackmagic Design has made a mistake and a disservice to their customer base by not clarifying that native ISO only means something in lesser codecs, like ProRes, when the image is backed in. I would encourage you to retest the overexposure with both at the same ISO and you'll see a great difference. That being said, I really enjoy your video and your channel. Cheers
@@cruisechill1813 No, I'm not saying that. Some cases 400 would be better, but if you have harsh light, high contrast environments, then 800 would be better. What I would say is to not be married to the idea of 400 for all cases, as some people on youtube believe.
In this specific video I didn’t use any ND filter and adjusted the shutter in order to avoid any colour cast coming from the filter. Otherwise I’m using those nd filter: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pO7wV2jzIn0.htmlsi=czuBU6CKjTzAN8Wi
*@**4:44**: What you're really demonstrating is not a difference between cameras, or sensors, rather, a difference between BRAW and RedCodeRaw codecs. The BRAW is a 12 Bit colour precision, while the Komodo is shooting with a 16 Bit RAW codec with a much greater colour depth and image precision, which the human eye can plainly see.*
@@pauleporterdp 3200 isn’t a native iso, it’s just a recommended iso linked to the distribution of stops above and below middle grey - it says as much in their documentation. Native iso’s (the base after analogue conversion without digital gain) for the camera are 100 and 1250. Recommended iso’s are 400 and 3200.
