We did a remedial dead pixel correction (not precision) as stated on the website. It didn't get them all. This week lots of things get addressed, including DPC. You are also looking at an 8-bit jpeg, which does NOT look as good as the 16-bit tiff.

Absolutely unbelievable images for this early in development. Just for kicks, I pushed the levels much farther than normal and was blown away by the results. And this is 8bit... I can't get RAW images off my Canon 20D DSLR to behave like this! The resemblance to film is just eerie...

i might be wrong but the image of the car you chose to push the levels on is pretty COLORLESS from the start.

try applying your same tricks to the 4k image of the invisible blowjob. i started crushing the blacks in photoshop a bit and some of her hair started turning dark RED, haha, in a bad way. i am not worried though, im sure its because its a jpeg, or something else. i know that when i get my TWIN RED CAMERAS i wont have to worry about SUCH TRIFLES (the image, or any kind of color correction/adjustment i dream up). i'm sure it will be fine.

i stand corrected but i knew this anyways, its a perfect exposure you cant really do much to it. i guess we have to wait for some FLAT images. but still, the car image adjustment is kind of strange, the "orange" cord in the background looks super light and strangely desaturated, the rest of the image is pretty much black and white.. whatever, i just wanted to post is all... =]

The IBJ4K shot doesn't leave much range to play with. Elements are either exposed perfectly or dead black. I'm sure we'll see a 12+bit image in the next few weeks to play with.

Point taken. The adjustment was mainly focused on looking at the noise levels in the blackest areas of the image however, which are extremely low IMO. The dynamic range is just incredible.

Really exciting.

After playing with the image, I'm amazed by how clean it was. I had to do a lot to destroy the image. Even using the sharpen filter, it looks amazing. Since there isn't any noise, sharpen does what you'd expect.

So when can we see some outdoor footage? The stage stuff is great, but this camera is important to me becuase I can just take it out and shoot without a bunch of lights and equipment.

yeah seriously. its the best
 
Beautiful. Truly. And now since we can consider this the maximum resolution for the forseeable future, we can now begin to identify what HD is and what the grail might look like for those who have been upgrading cameras as the years go by.

It's not 35mm, it has a look entirely of itself. You can see a bit of dvx100 in here, just sharper and cleaner. I'm not even sure if it isn't too sharp or too clean, meaning you probably get by with probably 1/2 the resolution and still please any audience.

My personal preference is probably still for film, but that might be just because that's what I've been looking at for many years.

Mass production of such a superior image-capturing device will be a fabulous achievement.
