I had already heard about the S-Log Exposure Index mode, but Andy provides a few additional details of how it works.

If I read this correctly, on top of the extra stop from the S-Log, you get another stop from the exposure index AND the sensor is optimized! Wow. I was holding off on getting S-Log, now I want it much more. Watch out Alexa. LOL

You read it correctly.

So around December with SLOG finally you'll be able to out S-Log in 422 using the dual link A output - that is great man!

Does the extra stop mean 14.5 total dynamic then with v1.2? WOW. Now I just need SLOG to go on sale!

The F3 with S-Log and v1.2 firmware WILL truly be a baby Alexa. The biggest difference will be the need an for external recorder. Sweet!

 

[starcentral]

No, I think the biggest difference will be the price!
