More random ramblings about the X, just thinking things out. Keep in mind I don't necessarily know everything I'm talking about here, just reacting in real time as information becomes available. I am just SO HYPED for this camera.

THAT is great to hear. I really love the grain/noise pattern on the V-Raptor. Very finely distributed, very low in chroma noise and blotchiness, it’s just so nice to look at. That was my biggest fear in moving to the new sensor. Glad to hear you find it to be more or less equivalent.

More good info directly from Jarred Land via Y.M. Cinema. Essentially confirms it’s a double exposure, benefiting from the global shutter to minimize artifacts, and some advice on how to use it. Corroborates Phil’s early findings. I can’t wait to get my hands on it...

I’m not the OP, but I’m in the same boat. Came from R5 C to V-Raptor and now use them both. In my experience the best way to match is to shoot RAW, then start your grade in Resolve with a Color Space Transform from Canon Cinema Gamut/Canon Log 3 to RED wide gamut/REDLogFilm. In Resolve’s...

Fair point. Lenses, lighting, gaffer gear, these things all contribute to an image more than a new sensor. On the OTHER hand … this upgrade effectively bridges the gap in DR between RED and ARRI for a decent range of scenarios, for a fee I can swallow. I’m absolutely upgrading. Already made...

I’ll be very interested into what your conclusions are on that front. Is it mostly to do with motion? I.e very fast moving subjects cause artifacts?

That’s INCERDIBLE. Thank you for doing all this work Phil. If your earlier statement still holds, I’ll likely be one of those people “not too concerned about their data footprint” just leaving EH on all the time. Especially since it’s reversible in case of artifacts. What a cool time to be in...

Where are you getting that idea from? So far I haven’t seen anything to suggest Raptor X is a compromise in amy way compared to its predecessor.

Hey Phil, thanks for doing all this testing! It's extremely valuable to someone like me - I just bought the Raptor VV last month, but based on what I've already seen (from you, CVP, and RED itself), I'm definitely going to upgrade. One question though - have you found a definitive answer yet on...

Thank you! Yeah I’m floored by how big a gap there really is. When the data says “2 stops better” it’s easy to think that means “a couple notches better.” But in reality that means 400% as sensitive!!! A difference of three stops is a sensitivity delta of 800%!!!! That’s why when I see the...

Hey everybody, I just got my first cinema camera, and decided go big or go home. So I bought the V-Raptor VV (soon to be upgraded to X, more on that in a bit). I took a looooong time to choose the Raptor. Over several months I found myself doing lots of reading, viewing endless imatest...
