  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

ISO 4000...

Brook... nothing personal. I did the same thing to someone else on the ISO, ISO thread.

It looks like we do pretty well now against the competition at high ISO. Our true advantages go beyond that... we hope. Our goal was to take High ISO out of the discussion so other things could be focused on... like RAW, high frame rate RAW, etc.

Jim

you keep on saying that a lot.. RAW and nothing comes close.. rendering non-raw out of competition.. we all know that raw is the best way.. others are making good advancement for a certain amount of money..
 
The M-X upgrades to RED ONE will begin before we ship any EPICs or Scarlets.

Jim

Great idea!!! :hurray::hurray::hurray:


Also this looks exactly as a kind of STAGE FIVE that I suggested before!!!???.
 
ISO 16,000 - now we are really talking. What are you going to use for that? a single christmas tree light?

Hehe, finally we can avoid lighting cost in total :crazy:?

First time we will be able to shoot space war movies out there in space, still capturing the low light of the twinkling stars :smilielol5:

Honestly, ISO 16000 is rather artificial, but being able to see something at such rates means the camera has a lot of headroom and dynamic range. Thats important ot all of us!

Jim & Co., keep it rolling!
 
This question will come down to personal taste. As of today (and Graeme, Deanan and Rob aren't done yet), I don't see thinking about the NR "sauce" until after ISO 1640-2000 for properly exposed daylight shots. Whatever you choose as your threshold, tungsten will likely need the "sauce" about a stop or so sooner.

Next week I'll do a low light test to ISO 16,000 and see what happens. I've learned my lesson not to use studio lighting for high ISO examples... :-)

For me it is rare that I need a high ISO (which for me means low light sensitivity) with daylight sources. Most of my night interiors, studio work, and night exteriors are lit with tungsten sources, or a mix. A lot of times I've got existing practicals and fixtures that I'm balancing to and most of the time they are tungsten. If I do use daylight sources on night work I don't correct for them or only correct halfway and almost always there is a mix with tungsten. The practical usage of high ISO for me is low light tungsten situations. I'm looking forward to seeing what MX can do at high ISO under tungsten.

Great points, and very true. This can be compounded even more if you have ot shoot an exterior with little added light- those street lights are often well below 3200k. Even still, if a usable image is to be had from ISO 1000 - 2000, I would be very impressed, as right now there is way to much noise in those images for my liking.
 
ISO 4000? For real... Hmm, nice. Very nice.
Thanks for posting as a quicktime. Far more revealing than an image. Great stuff.

Crazy but what about the dynamic level?
 
My request would be for a simple ISO 1600 sunset.
