It is for that reason that you don't see DSLRs that go from ISO 10 to ISO 596 000... at some point, when you stray too far from the "base" ISO, you either get banding/low dynamic range (low ISOs) or...

So... do we even know what is the ISO (or gain) range for the FS100?

Since most recent DSLRs can shoot comfortably from ISO 200 to ISO 3200, why can't the FS100 do it too?

(BTW, when shooting...

Super 35 *is* bigger than "regular" 35.

I've ordered multiple times from Fotodiox in Canada. Order from their website or their eBay store.

For the dynamic range tests, was HTP turned on for the 7D?

The best crop factor / FOV / focal length explanation I've seen to date.

I think a bot should be combing the forums and automatically post this everytime the words "crop factor" show up. :-)

More new F3 footage from Sony promo site:

Most of it looks really good, but some clips use shutters slower than 180 degrees for that instant...

Ah! That's actually quite clever! And saves the trouble of having lenses "de-clicked". I'm really curious to see tests shot with this. I wonder how different it's going to look at smaller apertures...

Spoiler alert: F3 has less moiré and aliasing than the 5DII. :-)
Less jello too, but still has bendy lines on fast pans.

Everybody keeps saying that, but...
The Crews.tv AF100 clip was shot with very expensive Zeiss Ultraprimes and somewhat controlled lighting.
The "Convergence" F3 clip was shot with available...

Yet another good looking clip from the F3.

Lots of exteriors, sun, night, bouncing the cam around to test rolling shutter... good tests!

Yes. However, the files on the SD card are potentially 10x smaller... making the transfer times shorter. (I don't think CF has a 10x advantage over SD).

I found this document that explains gamma curves for HMC150. I am guessing the AF100 will have similar gamma curves?

That might be the source of some confusion around these threads. A flat *curve* and a flat *image* are two different things. Most artsy types would call an image with low-contrast, low saturation and...

Is there a reference somewhere of Panasonic gamma curves for cameras similar to the AF-100? All this talk of Cine-D, Cine-V, scene files, etc... make me wonder what type of customisations are...

Although not posted online the very first day he got the cam, wasn't Vincent Laforet's "Reverie" shot only after a day or two of getting a prototype 5DII?

I disagree. If it was the case, the crews.tv gang and Bloom would have reported "OMG! The footage we got from external recorder is so much flatter and has better hightlight response than what we got...

Because buttons, features and resolution charts have had their ass handed to them by sex appeal 2 years ago.

"Hirano San" would have blown our socks off had it come out 6 months before "Reverie"....

Notice that the YEAR isn't specified. :-)

Limited to max 30fps in 1920x1080 mode.

... and power to the IS system.

To be fair, a locked off camera of a model sitting still isn't a very difficult scene for compression artefacts. Shoot handheld in a forest full of trees with leaves blowing in the wind and then...

Yes we know. Just get your hands on any u4/3 camera that's already out there.
