Whoa Whoa Whoa, aggressiveness misdirected. I said that Fs700 is over saturated, I never said the f3 is over saturated, I was making a comparison to RED color reproduction. I’ve shot on the f3 and I’m...

And just to be clear, the F5 and F55 look like very good cameras, and the toughest competition Red has ever faced. There are many good reasons to choose the Sony’s, there’s no need to use false reasons.

As a producer, the F55 sounds like a great camera to rent as it will have a similar bang and flexibility of an Alexa and yet be half the rental cost (hopefully). I think these will rent around the same...

Internal battery lasts an hour, then what do you do? And what about the other issues? Atomos Samarui is a much better solution if you want to be safe, and the pix 240 is as foolproof as it gets. I...

Ryan i agree, the compressed 4k and 2k images are fine with me also, 4k compressed on the IDC hold up good enough for a film on the bigscreen. As far as GOPRO it may do 2.7k but it does not really...

Well I won’t quibble about details regarding recorders…I don’t deny that getting 1080p is easier on the Sony’s, just that it’s impossible on the Red’s. As far as DR…your numbers sound like those of the...

Numbers are from my Scarlet. At Native ISOs the Alexa has 2 stops extra highlight retention over any Red camera, thats 400%, thats not a little bit. Peter Jackson himself could not convince me that Red...

Technically native Red ISO is 320, even on the MX sensor. People use 800 because of how it distributes the DR. If you want even distribution, expose for it. If the Alexa has two more stops of...

As an FS700 owner, the 4K interface + recorder + battery has NO appeal to me. It’s freaking HUGE and really expensive. I think 4K on the FS700 is going to be a wash unless a smaller, more reasonably...

We have a different understanding of what native means. I use a Red Cambook, Do you believe that the MX sensor of an EPIC is capable of more than 4.5 stops in the highlights over your grey point? I...

I asked about the chart because it seems the only accurate ones are expensive back lit charts…I think even Red turned to Arri’s charts for their tests. As such I’d be more interested in direct...

Even if it was only shooting HD, the fact that they supposedly eliminated rolling shutter is a gigantic leap for digital motion picture cameras. But the proof is in the pudding, so I have to see it to...

Those lenses seem weird to me. I get Sony making/selling their own lenses on cheap cameras, but for pro priced cameras, most pro shooters are gonna go with the Arri/Cooke/Zeiss/Panavision/Angenieux...

I think RAW is the best thing in the world for any low budget filmmaking. Have you ever shot RAW? It’s so nice having control of the image. I got to know RAW from stills, and now I’ve downloaded a...

The fact that its onboard is one thing. A huge thing. It’s really irritating shooting these days…you have to plug so much stuff into everything, and then find more power ports or splitters to power...

I think it’s a terrible hassle. I had a crappy connector on a hyperdeck shuttle 2 and I thought we could get it working well enough, but we’d get drop frames where the connection failed and I was stuck...

Spending another $ 8,000.00 for a 4K upgrade is unacceptable!!! Although the Nex-FS700 has a more sensitive sensor than the JVC 4K machine, the JVC unit does it all for under $5,000.00!!!! There is no...
