Hi there, I'm glad you guys like my F3 camera test!! You're right about the clipped highlights, not only did I shoot this without altering the profile settings of the camera, I usually shoot with zebra settings around 70%... but they were around 85% (only had the camera for a short time so I was lazy on the setup) I was a little over exposed with this footage so next time I shoot with this camera, I wont open up as much. Nice camera but I'd love a shoulder mounted version with a broadcast viewfinder... Be a bit costly though I bet...

Hi Linton, I wonder which song is this on the video? I like it.

is this compressed? at 2.23 you can see a bit of pixel on the guys t-shirt, the black and red. Great job by the way.

Do you guys see that the pixel edges happen mostly on reds... I see it at the red balloons and the kids red shorts

Are you serious? You are watching an internet stream... from vimeo... and you ask if it's compressed?

Hi Lexicon, the song was from a collective called Groove Armada and was called 'At The River'.

Hi DavidChia, the video was edited on Final Cut Pro 7 as wrapped .mov files from the SxS cards. So it was kept at 1280x720 35Mb/s until I exported it to 1280x720 H.264 at about 5000Kbits/s. I've left it on the vimeo site as a download option, so if you like you can download it before it was converted to a vimeo file and watch it. I purposely shot some flowing water for my own tests at 35Mb/s and was surprised at how it handled all that information. By the time it was converted to 5000Kbit/s then to vimeo, the water looked like a mess!
