As for me, I didn't question his findings, and the points he touched are true and useful to know. I always follow his reviews with great interest. That is why I was baffled by his awkward attitude towards everything-not-Canon. So now I know I should take his opinions with a grain of salt. I'm more than happy with my Pocket and couldn't care less about "defending" it. The fact he states 'I'm often wrong so make up your own mind' can't prevent me from expressing my opinion. Since he chooses to publicly share his thoughts, the public is entitled to express opinions on them. But again, who cares :)

@_gl I´m used to follow his blog, but it´s becoming less and less interesting. He used to be funny, but since he became some kind of tech celebrity the more biased his "thoughts" are. But more points of view on any subject are always welcome.

@vicharris Great shots of the desert! I´m developing a documentary that partly takes place in a desertic region. I´m towards shooting with the Pocket, mostly after seeing your first video. Any thoughts about working with the Pocket in such environment? Thanks.

@vicharris Thanks for the info, man. For now I just have the lumix 14-140 and a Schneider 16mm. But since I´m still in the early development stage I´ll take your advices and prepare it properly. Thanks a lot.

@vicharris That´s the case, most of my shots will be during the day. The SLR 12mm seems to be a rare find, but I´ll look for it since I´ll have the time. Thanks again!

@vicharris Good to know. My Pocket Camera is finally on it´s way to delivery. As soon as I get it I´ll shoot some tests. Thanks.

@ahbleza Yep, it's normal and you should never fill the card anyways. That goes for any format like this.

@ahbleza, they may be doing it to avoid fragmentation and so keep the write speeds consistent (or maybe just keep the writing code simpler).

As a drive runs out of space, all the little fragments that are scattered around become the only place left to write data, so new stuff has to use them & gets really badly fragmented. Same thing happens on hard drives.

@vicharris

hmm.. are you satisfied with sharpness? it looks quite soft in general

@nomad There's some there but they way I usually have used this lens in the past it was never a real concern for me.

@peaceonearth I've always been satisfied with this lens and the original one paid for itself many times over on shoots. Of course when it got darker, I had to open the lens up to t2 and it's been pretty known for some time that you need to stop this lens down a little to sharpen it up, things start getting better by 2.8 then by 4 your good but I valued the changing colors of the sky at that point over sharpness and was afraid to switch to 1600 asa on the pocket. I'd rather deal with some softness that grain city. I probably could have sharpened up the footage some more as the pocket shoots soft anyways but liked it where it was.

Also if you see the shots where there's plenty of light at the begging, it rocks and I've always loved this lens for it's flares. That's the main reason it will always be close at hand.

If you check out this promo I did awhile back I used the 12mm about 80% of the time or more and the clients loved it :)

@JuMo

Well said. I somehow liked it where it was though like always, the original on my 27" LPS monitor looks just fine :)

It's sharp at t4 and beyond. If you don't believe me I have some footage of it from the 2.5K and that'll pretty much end this conversation.

@kurt10

You say "no color correction", so it would appear you didn't process the RAW footage. The procedure for handling RAW in Resolve is described earlier in the thread. Go back and read it.

RAW footage may or may not look acceptable out of the camera, but it's not designed to be used without first processing it. If you want the most flexibility in color grading, you need to convert the RAW shots into BMD film log. Then begin the color correction process.

If you want the footage to look acceptable directly from the camera, shoot Prores with the "video" setting.
