Do you like more a video documentary shot in 25p 10bit or 50p 8bit?

[FoxAdriano]

Out of curiosity I'd like to know your thought. How would you shoot it? Thanks

This is a purely subjective question that has no blanket answer. It’s a question of aesthetics, and which one suits any particular documentary.

You are right perfectly. This is subjective but I don't know the result of shooting in 25p 10bit. I got into shooting world with the camera for a short time. Please, I'd like to know your thought. Therefore I ask you another question again:
if you were me and you had to make a documentaries like mine https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwtwfdnQopghRdo6ChAIL3w/videos?disable_polymer=1
would you use 25p 10bit or 50p 8bit? Thanks

I would take 10 bit over 8 bit anytime.

I for one only watch documentaries that are shot at 120fps at 10-bit.

25p 10-bit. More filmic, better color, more flexibility.

Do you want reality TV look or cinema look?

I for one only watch documentaries that are shot at 120fps at 10-bit.

Me too, but only if they are graded in HDR

I think you should do your own tests and find a workflow which works best for your project.

That being said, I could care less which camera or frame rate/ bit depth was used to acquire documentary footage, as long as what I'm watching is compelling and keeps me engaged/entertained.
