Sony RX10 II 4K 1000fps camera

monowav

If this camera can have clean HDMI 8bit 422, is this possible in 4k? Would 4k 8bit 422 resed down yield 10bit 444 HD? Or do I have my science wrong?

I'm wondering because I remember reading how the GH4's 4K at 8bit 420 would yield 10bit 444. I read that over at EOSHD a while back.

Or could I just take the 4k 8bit 420 in camera and change it to HD 10bit 444 without HDMI?

The Sony RX10 II is an even better camera than ever before. The same great body, lens, and resolution are retained, but 2015's model focuses faster, shoots faster for longer, has an even more enjoyable viewfinder and -- for those who favor using that finder -- even boasts just slightly better battery life.

New electronic viewfinder in the RX10 II is crisp, and well-sized, by EVF standards, but for sports, its simply not good enough. When panning with your eye to the finder, rolling shutter is an issue (also demonstrated in the video above).

But even more problematic is the EVF 'black out' that occurs after each frame is fired, when shooting using AF-C. This slight delay between shots was a major contributor to me not being able to follow the action. And frankly I was disappointed that a camera like the RX10 II, which boasts a super fast sensor, is still unable to fire bursts without interrupting the EVF display. Having used cameras like the Nikon 1 J5, that can fire off full-res bursts with continuous AF and no black out, I was really expecting more out of the RX10 II.

Really impressed with this camera after having used it a couple of weeks. It's already turning into my go-to camera. The music video below was just an improvised shoot to test the 100fps quality in 1080p. We were just fooling around during rehearsals for our next performance. I gotta say, the quality in 120fps/100fps is really, really good, and holds up surprisingly well in post. This was shot in s-log2 at iso 800-1600. No noise reduction. Did add some tacky lights, though.

This camera is very appealing to video-centric folks. 4K capture at 24 and 30p with full sensor read out and bitrates up to 100Mbps is pretty darn impressive. Of course it can also shoot 1920 x 1080p (HD) at 24/30/60/120p with bitrates up to 50Mbps at 24/30/60p and 100Mbps at 120p.

Shooting video with the RX10 II is also extremely easy thanks to Auto ISO, audio levels, focus peaking, zebra stripes and a dedicated video Function Menu. Image stabilization during video capture also makes shooting hand-held a painless task. And as you might expect, video quality, both 4K and HD, is quite good, through and through. Even in low light, colors look accurate and detail is impressive. This can largely be attributed to the camera's full sensor read out. It is worth noting that rolling shutter can present itself during video capture, though we only noticed it in our 4K clips.
