Troy, will you be posting some of your own work soon? How are the files to work with in post?

Good Day Dan! Just recently received the batteries for my Terra 4K (batteries are shipped in a separate package). I should have some time within the next two weeks to get some footage posted. I'll be working with DaVinci Resolve in Post.

Excellent footage!

It is clear that this camera has a great dynamic range and a good highlight roll-off!

Found this morning on their website! I take three, or get the MAVO for the same price!

Footage is well shot, highlights and DR unremarkable.

Completely agree, similar quality is obtainable with a wide variety of cameras.

Thanks Trevor Donovan!

Gary, your statement is absolutely true. The footage listed as "Luna Kids Cinema 2018" was shot by Trevor Donovan using the Terra 4K and Red Raven. Very similar quality (or at least the Terra 4K cuts well with the Red Raven). Not a big deal, but worth stating.

Cary Knoop · August 17th, 2018, 09:51 AM

The more footage I see the more I like this camera.

Exactly, I feel this latest video could have easily been intercut with a GH5 or a A7 III and it would have looked equally as good.

I don't feel that at all, this camera is way better.

In what ways specifically?

Dynamic range and the colors. Also, it grades very well.

I don't want to seem unfair, so I'll segue my previous remark and stop there. But if you look around the 18 second mark of the Luna Kids video where the lady is paying for her crepe, you can see both characteristics at once, unremarkable DR and highlight treatment but also something else that I think is contributing to the overall look; I don't see pure black anywhere! Not in that scene, not in any of the videos! In fact it almost looks like (or resembles) IR contamination. The images seem to have a brown bias, greens are muted, the season could account for this or the grading but I've noticed the brown bias in previous Kinefinity scenes. It's an identifiable look that is different, sometimes nice, but I don't want it in all my films. The footage seems well shot but temporal motion looks like it was conformed to 25p from 50p. I'm switching /rant_off but I'm not ready to buy into the pre-release hype yet.
