I know the feeling, `experts' shoot some video then I get dumped with the panel beating repair work. The expert gets all the credit, even worse since it sometimes works out reasonably well they ...

Good points, ignorance is bliss. Sometimes I don't take on post video work knowing that I'm not the best at some particular task only to discover someone with less experience has taken it on and it ...

I've often thought about how much processing power / time is spent in camera debayering raw. With a PC the time wouldn't matter but when shooting in burst mode it may be compromised. The reason for ...

Good example of 8 bit jpeg banding occurring with full gradients. A 14 bit raw would have 262,144 x the steps of a jpeg that would make a difference in some cases.

In the days of the 5D2 and others where no log profiles were available for video this was a common practice if you intended to grade the footage. Lowering the contrast helped with not clipping the ...

Correct, DCPs are sequential jpeg2k frames in an MXF wrapper.  It's too complex to encode, a dual xeon computer can only encode 12 HD frames a second. There's no reason to develop J2K for cameras, ...

Excellent timelapse, the moves are interesting. I would inter cut it with same daylight shots from the same locations. The music is good too, what album is that ?  Thanks

Yes and yes. Jpegs are 8 bit, most computer displays are 8 bit, broadcast monitors have been 10 bit for 20 years. When Premium UHD HDR becomes widespread 10 bit TVs will arrive. 10 bit has 64x the ...

TV news, print and web news sources all edit. Do you really want to see the unedited footage of a news story, it would be very boring. Framing a shot is editing. That's his decision. Your too black ...

D3 what you say is true, you need to experience it before commenting.
I have just seen VR for the first time using a HTC headset with a 3D model of a sunken wreck. It was so strange the...

Those new Sigma lenses must be getting a bit too good. Since these bodies still work with legacy Canon lenses the protocol can't have been changed or is backwards compatible, unless it sees a Sigma...

LOL, The Liquify bloat tool is very good at that and pucker for reduction. In fact removing the kid in frame was insightful in itself.  A great shot made even better without distorting the truth. ...

Agree, I don't know why you would bother to do that in the first place.

Using a long lens, a lens longer than human vision, shallow DOF, a slow shutter, long exposure or simply framing a shot also edits the photo. Is the technology of a camera acceptable but not newer ...

Good to see some vid from this camera, very relaxing, excellent work. Please make it longer, some close ups, some shots from the side and music better suited to the subject - http://www.dpreview.co ...

With low frame rates such as 24, the 1/48 shutter was chosen to provide some motion blur to smooth out the judder that can result from fast action and rapid camera moves. Edison initially ...

Isn't it possible to run a slower shutter than 1/120  or does the camera need that time to process the frame ? 60p is good for faster moving scenes and camera moves. How about 30p as a compromise.

I prefer being able to mix the RGB values to mono over more resolution.

10 bit monitors in broadcast have been the norm for a long while, there are now a few domestic PC monitors. The Premium extension is 10 bit as well and also encodes with a EOTF, Electro-Optical ...

Premium UHD is will enable far more HDR capable monitors and a way to deliver the extra dynamic range data to them. This is possibly going to have more impact than just more pixels. http://www.dpre ...
