<\/p>\nI keep getting asked what my conclusions are after these evaluations.
\nWell, I uploaded the EXR’s so that you could make your own decisions. However, I do have preferences.
\nThese are the high end cameras from each manufacturer, there are 2 from Sony because they seem confused \ud83d\ude42
\nThese were from the original RAW files converted to EXR ACES linear AP0 in the manufacturers own software. They were then loaded into Prelight in a Rec-709 BT-1886 calibrated environment and the exposure that was closest to “correct” was chosen. As you can see the cameras exposures vary a little from the manufacturers recommendations.
\nI then adjusted the colour to give a neutral result on the vector-scope.<\/p>\n
No alterations were made to exposure, contrast or saturation.<\/p>\n
The chosen frames were then exported in sRGB jpeg form. They are HD res.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So, which is best?
\nI prefer the colour from the Alexa and the F65, I think the Helium changes colour most with exposure changes. The thing is that they’re not major differences and far more likely to have an impact is ease of use.
\nIn this case I prefer the Alexa, Varicam Pure and C-700.<\/p>\n
Once again, the original EXR’s are at:-<\/p>\n

I’m doing a long term review of the BMD Mini-Pro at the moment and am waiting for the Panasonic EVA before doing a comparison of the lower cost cameras. I have already rejected one camera in tis category because I hated the way it felt and it’s lack of ease of use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I keep getting asked what my conclusions are after these evaluations.
