This is the 435th time you have posted the same comment.......🙄. Bit dull of you don’t you think❓ Literally nobody is listening to this nonsense any more......😁
Hi Jordan - Thanks for the review, you said it’s gained about a stop in dynamic range for video with c log 3. How does that video DR now compared to the Sonys and such?
If you shoot RAW lite you can apply a Clog2 profile for even more DR. But more DR means harder to edit. I find some of best looking videos here were shot with Fuji’s log and had the eterna LUT applied. They look gorgeous. And maybe with the GFX100S there was more DR, but that isn’t why the videos looked so much better. Anyway if you want the most DR shoot 8k RAW lite internally then down sample to 4K. Down sampling adds another stop.
Thanks for the info Aaron! however I’m still waiting for a direct comparison between the R5 and the newest full frame Sonys… 😉 (I own both an R5 and an A7r4, and am just starting to shoot video...)
