Just got a new camera - Sony F35
- Thread starter macgregor
- Start date
Scarily bang on color/tone/DR wise -- I wish I knew the scientific explanation of why/how the F35 looks "creamy". I wouldn't even attribute it to less resolution because we know that's a garbage explanation. It's just... creamier, and that goes with any compression scheme it seems. Maybe the RGB ccd? Even with zero internal NR the image is smooth.
If we're guessing again, I'm saying the first clip starts with F35 then goes to Arri - when it switches we see the slight magenta skin tone bias and saturation increase in background primaries.
I prefer the subtler rendition of the Sony.
On the anamorphic comparison I think it's the same camera on both!

Just curious (and slightly off-topic) but what are the dominant camera models for the Russian narrative projects (films, TV shows)?

Arri alexa mini and alexa classic most popular cameras for movies and serials in Russia (for example Alexa classic/odyssey raw + illumina mk2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXTFeG6ques )

Huh, I saw the film a couple of days ago (OK, scanned through it online) ... thought the visuals were really good ... Alexa dominates the US TV market too ...
Cпасибо!

I was on a shoot that had an URSA mini as a B-cam to the F35, and the two later had to be matched. Unfortunately I can't share footage.
The Ursa looked really bad in comparison. Clippy digital highlights and weird colors.
I think there is a tendency when viewing graded, web compressed footage online - to think that all these cameras are more or less equal. That includes now the GH5; there is some nice looking vimeo clips, so why bother lugging a dinosaur around? When you get raw clips on a timeline next to each other it tells a clear story.

It was the older 12 stop model. Should have clarified that. I haven't worked with 4.6k model's footage.

Yea, it's harsh. It's at best 11/11.5 stops. The 4.6K's DR is much better.
No doubt it's capable of great work, and is definitely loaded with tech (a self refrigerating sensor!). It's probably a lot less noisy than the F35. A shootout would be interesting.
