F35: As good as the original Sony F35 but this cam shoots in 4K

[macgregor]

Ungraded footage of course. I'll post a comparison against the F35 in just a bit.

What I like about this footage is that it's still preserves the awesome filmlike colorimetry of the F35 but it resolves detail beyond HD resolution. At 4K, footage actually looks like a really clean super35 4K film scan. No harsh edges. No sharpening halos. No compression artifacts. Very "organic" (I hate that word but everyone seems to be using it these days). Oh, and the best thing of all is that this damn thing is sooo cheap you wouldn't believe it.

Want to guess my new toy?

My guess is a6300 plus 4k recorder...

 

[starcentral]

A6300

 

[MikalZ]

A6300

8 bit with more rolling shutter than a GH4? No way that's a gamechanger.

Here's a quick skin tone and rolling shutter test. Updated file with data levels.

That rolling shutter is hardly bad.

A DSLR? No thanks! CMOS and rolling shutter is no go.

Sony F35 at 200% in AE:

And here's the new 4K camera for comparison:

No sharpening involved.

 

[starcentral]

camera X definitely has the sharpness.

That rolling shutter is hardly bad.

But hardly good.

Only 8 bit? Mac are you punking us?

 

[macgregor]

Only 8 bit? Mac are you punking us?

What?

 

[Hunter Hampton]

*cough* Camera has a global shutter

 

[MikalZ]

Only 8 bit? Mac are you punking us?

That was in response to the A6300 guesses...ie it's probably not that cam.

 

[SJX]

What?

You don't know the show Punk'd? I'm waiting for Aston Kutcher to jump in thread and say we got punk'd. rogar-BigGrin(DBG)

How often is rolling shutter interfering with commercial, or feature film work that a camera like Alexa absolutely can't be used? it's really not end of world ... but everyone likes to pretend it is.

*cough* Camera has a global shutter

So why it look like window lines are not straight? And what 4K camera have global shutter if not F65, F55, blackmagic? Mac said is not F65 and he always said didn't like blackmagic. So this is F55?
