Hard to say. In terms of body type, DSMC3 really doesn't have a reason to be majorly overhauled yet. Raptor 8K VV, X with the Global Shutter and the prior fast readout rolling shutter are still the most advanced sensor technology on the market currently. Really only the Venice 2 has a...

Deleted it.

$5K, less frame rates compared to the Ursa Cine 12K. Unsure if people will be the 6K Pyxis at this point, but perhaps.

Without going too deep, a great deal of "products", not just cameras, feature components from all over the world. Some more significant in relationship to the cost of manufacturing than not. This will also be part of the determination if it will have a notable increase on the product price or...

The Nikon acquisition was for RED Digital Cinema. RED Studios Hollywood is owned by Jarred Land. He's changing the name to RSH because the name has been RSH for a long, long time. It was formerly Ren-Mar, Rowland, and RED. So R. Also, RED is at NAB 2025 as well as having cameras all over...

6K 6:5 comes is the correct aspect ratio for 2X anamorphic.

First, congratulations. Dragon is a fantastic sensor even in modern times. RED along the way had some interesting naming conventions for the DSMC2 generation of bodies, which ended with a "unified" lineup. I'd say it's likely safe to call your camera a RED DSMC2 Dragon 6K S35. That tells...

Just a very, very clear reminder this is April Fools Day here in the states. The 265 is very literally being used on two Netflix productions currently.

Lots of chatter/buzz on the FB groups in particular. Hard to know much of anything, but Komodo is now the oldest of the newest generation of bodies. I do think this places it in a more interesting place considering the pricing on Komodo-X in particular. Outside of your points David, the...

Yep, wrong ND filters.

My take for now with some POV as a reply. 1. DSMC3 bodies are very competitively priced for what they actually do and are. Build, IQ, etc. They will go down in price one day however. For VV, there really isn't much out there in terms of production cameras that have the combination...

17:9 would be best.

I'm sure there is a market for Burano. I'll save my thoughts for off the air there, but it is not a popular camera "out here". I'm 100% certain the next one will tidy up the reasons people are avoiding it. I do want to add however something I've mentioned before. Now with Nikon involved and...

Nice frames and yes I got the DM as well. Some thoughts. EVF. Yes, big I have some very real and good ideas for EVF related things. I have formerly shared this with Jarred, but Nikon should be aware. IBIS. Touch subject as it causes issues in a variety of other directions for production...

In what will go down as one of the most difficult workflow issues across the industry over the past 15-ish years, I'm very happy to announced that Blackmagic Design now supports Apple ProRes Encoding/Export on Windows and Linux.

Hello all, Dropping this here as it has some pretty big ramifications for professional workflow and workstations in our industry. I was/am pretty fortunate to test out the new top end Blackwell GPU for several weeks before yesterday's announcement. In particular I tested R3D Workflows against...

I'll need to do a deep dive on JPLOG2 and I don't generally use ACES. I'm not exactly experiencing any issues in SDR or HDR at various ISOs at max dynamic range on any current cameras. And I design my "stuff" to be ready for other things further down the line generally. Really need to...

I'll subtly underline that Komodo, Komodo-X, and V-Raptor [X] are currently alarmingly useful when filming single lens or beam splitter setups due to their global shutter. I own several beam splitters and V-Raptor [X] by a notable margin is the best camera on the market for this...

What Andrew states is correct. And I need to spend more time "tinkering", but things like the Canon 24-70 f/2.8L and most of the Nikon S I've tested so far work really well. I think the speed adjustment is a valuable tuner, but this is Nikon Z mount exclusive for now, probably for a while as...

Publicly I'll just say one for now. It's very clear that an in-body ND solution is desired. It will make the base camera potentially larger and/or heavier and there is a variable/question mark of how to achieve this with shorter flange distance mounts like Z and RF, but I can think of two ways...
