But I do know that on the BMPC-4K, RAW will give you a slight DR boost, better colors, and more detail over the ProRes. As for the BMCC or BMPCC, I seem to recall a test that Hurlbut did with the BMCC and the C500, where the BMCC RAW appeared to have less contrast (i.e., more DR) but also less...

Thanks for the review Johnnie. It's a great review and I love the fact that you provide a short film to go with it, so that we can see how the camera performs in the field. I do have a few questions for you guys. It looks like you achieved the exact same DR on the 1DX II as the 1DC, according to...

The jump rope outtake footage is just an example of 120fps as Cuarezma as discussing that feature. The jump rope in the film itself is only 60fps, to my eye. But there is a shot at 00:18 that is noticeably different from all the other footage in that it is both in slow motion and of a lower...

Thanks so much Andree. I downloaded the original 1.8 GB 4K file and examined it in detail. It seems that without C-Log, there is a loss of a few stops of DR in the highlights and shadows. Yes, it's possible to bring down the exposure to compensate, but too much is lost in terms of shadow detail...

This HD HFR mode is supposed to offer Canon users the equivalent of Sony A7RII/A7SII slow motion. It's not a replacement for 150fps on a Sony FS7 or an FS700 with the Odyssey! On that level, I think it looks just fine and perhaps even a little better than the A7SII, which has a tendency for bad...

You will notice that I praised only the noise performance and colors of the DIFRENT video. The exposure and high contrast left much to be desired. The key light is indeed way too hot and leads to the problems with overexposure. In contrast, the operator of the Malta Saluting Battery video, who...

Here is a BTS video of the Mo Ming motorcycle short I posted above. If you skip to 2:00, you will see another amazing video feature on the 1DX II, one that was not even advertised all that much: live video feed and touch AF control from your iPad through the optional WiFi unit that attaches to...

In the interest of fairness in our debate over the 1DX II's DR, I went back and looked at Kimmy's ungraded version available for download on Vimeo. There is actually a lot more shadow detail than what is visible in the graded versions on both Vimeo and YouTube. I'm not sure why this was graded...

There were some great examples of DR in that video, such as in the mechanic's shop which I included as screenshots above. As for sunlight, I’m really not worried about the daylight performance after having seen the Kimmy video posted above as well as the Bones of Contention...
