Finally had a couple hours to take my two week old DVX eight blocks from my home to Lake Michigan. I tried out various settings and applied Magic Bullet to some footage. Here are a few grabs:

Re: DVX100A at Lake Michigan
I've noticed that the DVX100A has far richer browns and oranges than the not-A. Even shooting in a forest, my DVX100's browns are slightly more bland. Did you color correct?
Either way, both are awesome cameras -- viva 24p revolution!

Yes, I did do minor color correction with FCP. The last grab is with Magic Bullet, sunset grad I think. Here is the original:

Wow, that's weird, I posted here earlier and it completely disappeared. Anyway, I was commenting on how beautiful your shots were. Nice to see a kindred spirit on the board
The last shot was a little severe in its effect in my opinion. Before I knew what you had done, I was trying to figure out how the water could be that color and the sky be a completely different color.

Thanks for the responses guys. Yes, disjecta, I know what you mean about the water's color in that last photo, it looks like a giant suer backed up. I was like a kid with a new toy using MB ;D Here are a couple more grabs:

Re: DVX100A at Lake Michigan
Actually, on the wide shots I only applied a minor color tweak with FCP's 3 way color corrector for white balancing purposes. I was using a Tiffen 85 and a Schneider True Pol in my mattebox, I was a little off on my white balance but not by much. All these shots were using the Cinelike_D Gamma and CineMatrix, I do like the Cinelike_D Gamma but I think I need to adjust the knee which was set to auto because if you notice on the rocks and tree, there is some blowout. This reminds me of when I had my original DVX when using CineGamma which had no knee and caused that ugly sort of posterization on overblown highlights.

Yes, I noticed that I have 4 knee choices (auto, low, medium, high).

I'll have to double check but I'm almost positive I had the knee option. It may be when I switched the matrix to normal though.

Can you really change them?donbarzini

Gualbert, do you have the "A" model? I'll have to double check when I get home but I think disjecta is right, I may have noticed you can change the knee when you are in normal gamma mode and normal matrix. All my frame grabs were using Cinelike_D and Cinematrix for sure. I'll post some movie files when I find a place to store them.

Re: DVX100A at Lake Michigan
Just got home, I was wrong, no adjusting the knee using the settings I was. Only when I switch the gamma to normal, then I can adjust the knee. Thanks for the replys.
