SANITY 4 and 5.1
@thiswayup Sanity 5.1 is the best Sanity. The picture quality rivals Driftwood's best intra patch, but with a significantly lower bit rate. Getting technical - Sanity is a long GOP codec. The size of the I frames is immense, equal to or greate…

BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K
@Psyco I'm recording 4k 60p at 4:1 with no issues. I've not tried any lower compression because I find 4:1 to be absolutely perfect for my needs, which is high quality green screen compositing.

@Psyco Glad you got an "old" camera! I'm using a Crucial MX500 2TB with no problems. Forget the enclosure. Get this instead: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZPKNQYW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My question is what are the resolutions and frame rates for RAW recording. Does anybody have a lead on any more info?

firmware gh2 1080 60i
I assume you're asking for a hack. Sanity 5.1 provides very high quality 1080 60i & 50i. Go here: http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/2642/sanity-4-and-5.1/p1 At the end of the first post, you'll see six document icons. Sani…

SANITY X - High Bitrate Version of Sanity
On the GH2, the only way to shoot 25P is in HBR mode. The 25P signal is embedded in a 50i stream. It looks decent, but the quality isn't quite as good as 24P. There's nothing we can do about it. That's just the way Panasonic designed …

GH5 - possible hack to record RAW?
FWIW, I saw the Blackmagic 4K Pocket live at Cinegear on a 4K monitor and the picture was excellent. I already put my pre-order in. I don't think anybody is going to be disappointed with the picture quality. The above clip seems a little soft c…

GH5 - possible hack to record RAW?
The real solution is to buy the Blackmagic 4k Pocket camera when it comes out (hopefully) in September. It's a micro 4/3 camera that will record 4k RAW up to 60P internally and externally.

Recommend GH2 patch with working HDMI out
The HDMI output works fine with all versions of Sanity. I know, because when I was developing Sanity I would simultaneously record the HDMI output and compare it to the in-camera recording.

Yes, it sounds almost identical to the current FS5. I have a question that I hope someone can ask Sony at NAB - is the sensor the same?

NAB 2018: Post your questions
Company: Panasonic Request that they add RAW recording to the GH5, even if it's only in a crop mode. Tell them to make it a paid upgrade. I know this has been asked before, but ask them again. Maybe they'll finally get the message.

Please add RAW recording at 60P for the GH5. It's OK if it's a sensor crop like ETC mode. The size of the image in pixels should be whatever the camera's processor can handle.

New Panasonic 8K organic global shutter sensor (next GH6 core?)
"The pixel size is 3 um x 3 um, for a 8192 x 4320" That works out to a sensor size of approx 24.5 x 13mm which is a 35mm 3-perf frame. Not likely going into a micro 4/3 camera. I can just see them releasing this next generation camera wit…

Wishes for the GH6
RAW, RAW, RAW! Compressed RAW up to 60P @ 4k. Better low light capability. I agree with Celullo. Noise free at iso 12800. Better auto-focus in video mode. What we DO NOT NEED is 8k. Please Panasonic, do not make the GH6 an 8k camera. That would m…

Shoot Run and Gun 4K60P RAW and 4K 120P for Less than $5,000
From what I understand, it is possible to record a true 60P RAW DNG with the Inferno if you do it at 2k. And the FS700 is capable of outputing 2K RAW. Could you try to do a test like this? I would love to see the results!
