Although announced as a perfect match I still wonder if the F3 shall be worth the Gemini 444 according to its native resolution.
I read an article about the native sensor used for the F3. It says as follows:
"The CMOS sensor in the F3 has 1220*690 pixels in Green and 610*345 pixels in Red and Blue
This should work for 4:2:0 but curtainly not for 4:4:4. You'll get a great sensitivity and dynamic range. Also better S/N ratio and minimal aliasing. There is slight disadvantage in sharpness and resolution."
I would conclude that the Nanoflash will be good enough for the F3 and you gain too little (2 bits depth) by using 444 recording. Unless I go for the S-Log option, I would not need a Gemini-like recording device.
Is this a rational conclusion?
