Some of it may be nostalgia, because the F900 was the first HD camera that I shot with, but it just had a great picture right out of the camera without any special set-up(which you could do, if you wanted)(and Sony has not always been known for this, especially back then. Anyone that has ever shot with a BVW series Betacam straight out-of-the-box knows just how bad Sony cameras could be if not set-up). Remember, these were the days before Log or RAW. And everything we were shooting(except slo-mo) was 24p. So to look at a live picture on a monitor and see a beautiful, “widescreen” HD, 24 frame film-like image coming straight out of the camera in the early 2000’s when we were still mostly shooting 4:3 SD on Betacam and most “film look” was done in post, it was really something.
And I really like the “Panavision” curves/looks that Mike has in his Panavised F900, that he posted several months ago.
