S-Log tests on PMW-F3

Post by alisterchapman » June 23rd, 2011, 4:27 pm

I was able to do some quick latitude tests on a PMW-F3 with S-Log at Broadcast Asia. I saw a 1.5 to 2 stop improvement over the cameras already impressive 11.5 stops. This makes the F3 around 13 to 13.5 stops with S-Log. That seriously impressive. Read the full report here: http://www.xdcam-user.com/2011/06/pmw-f ... uick-look/

Two stops higher would be fantastic. The only problem is the cost of the S-Log update for indies that will probably never use a 4.4.4 recorder. Talk to your rep and see if they have any plans for S-Log with 4.2.2. At a thousand dollars they'd have much higher sales of that and still protect their higher end cameras.
