Sean, R U seriously recommending a camera for greenscreen or bluescreen chromakeying work that only records in and only outputs in 4:2:0 chroma subsampled 8-bit color fidelity? Why would you do...

Cannot do quality greenscreen chroma work with any of the dirt cheap cameras you had mentioned.... and only 2 of the 3 cameras you had mentioned actually exist.

"What do I need to record video from HDMI output?" I would just get a small portable video recorder with HDMI input.... but I am sure there are other work-arounds to that option as well.

Saw a Canon XL-1 corder the other day on eBay for like 10 dollars. Not sure if that was for the body only or also for the lens, also not sure if the thing was still working or only to be had as a...

You dudes are on the WRONG THREAD!!! This one here is about color correction, hello!!??

"Still, BMPD still has global shutter, 4K and compressed lossless codecs."

Still, the camera you are describing does not yet exist.... and based on Blackmagic Design of Australia's recent "track...

From DP REVIEW:

"....it allows for individual frames of 14 bit output, yielding a much wider dynamic range than you'd get from standard 8 bit video files."

Two quick points to make:

1. Why would...

Canon ALMOST gave us something here worth a full 50 cents.... Almost.

Canon's X-series (actually, XF-series) camcorders have been out for 3 or 4 years now.... and only NOW does Canon put this little nothing much of anything out as a dubious firmware upgrade? Canon...

I was thinking more along the line of USD $149.... well, maybe $199 if push comes to a shove.

"I suggest all the trolls choose a different topic. This is one is now quite boring."

Yes indeed, you are.

"Nikon probably chose the small 1" format sensor to save on cost, weight, and size, but then has to introduce a lens such as the 32/1.2 that counteracts any benefit in cost, weight and size to...

Yeah, FF 135 lenses suddenly appear like dirt cheap alternatives to the monopolisticly hyena priced Nikon 1-series lenses.

Why is this simpleton lens a "greatly interesting lens" at any price -- I guess I don't get that part.

16mm cinema systems sort of died out recently.... it's a Super 35 and VistaVision sensor world out there now, with a very few APS-C imager camera bodies thrown in there for decoration. 16mm and...

"This lens is 86mm f/1.2 because of the 2.7X crop (not 70mm f/3.5)."

Well, DP REVIEW states 86mm and F3.2 in FF 135 terms.... but hey, no big diff, right?

A super simple design F3.2 lens (in FF 135 terms) for only 900 megabucks, you mean? Yeas, what an unqualified bargain, hip-hip-hurrah!

"It will provide the angle of view and depth of field control of an 86mm F3.2 lens for a full-frame system..... Nikon will ask around $900 for the 32mm f/1.2 when it becomes available in...

It's not rocket science, you know.  It's been done like that since they invented cinema and television/video lenses. Not sure how they refer to them with still camera lenses, though, probably only...

I agree, there certainly does not seem to be anything like this out yet on our planet. Consider the following published specifications of the Panasonic HX-X920. Pixel Gross: 38280000 Effective...
