Just found this. Looks very nice.

Shot by Reuben Steinberg with Cooke Mini S4i primes.

"Quick Sony F55 test. all shot in SLog2, UNGRADED footage. This is the 50mbps 422 proxy HD footage right out of the camera onto Vimeo."

oof! Beautiful... and the footage looks great too, No grading on that walk into the fluorescent light and it still looks splendid. Great skin tones... wow.
 
Jeez, this is proxy footage? Sony, what have you done!!!

Those Cookes make everything look sweet too.

Also, the shakey cam is surprisingly crisp in it's shakeyness, probably thanks to the global shutter. Makes it more tolerable than cameras with jello.
 
This is really nice. Makes me think you could just walk around town and film a movie with this camera.

Thats what I was thinking. This doesn't look like it needs grading, which is interesting for a log gamma. So slog2 sets black to 0? White to 100? Or did this have a LUT applied in camera?
 
I really wish I hadn't seen that... Now I'm gonna have to go kiss some producers arse.
I can see why Jannard wants to crush them.

There's no LUTs in camera yet unless you're shooting raw.

If you just turn on SLOG2, and don't turn on S-Gamut, the colors stay as saturated as a regular gamma mode. And yes, Slog2 uses all 1024 steps of range, 0 to 1023. So if you have a scene that uses all 14stops of range, it looks semi-normal. But if you had a flat scene, it starts looking kinda odd because there's little contrast but all this saturation.

I'm sticking to making sure s-gamut is on when s-log2 is on. It's most analogous to F3 Slog, and IMHO, kinda the way to get the most out of the camera short of raw.
 
Thanks for the info, Nate. All very useful for when I finally manage to get hold of one (hopefully soon!). It's a really remarkable camera.
