Hello guys.
My DP just came to me today, with the notion to shoot on the Viper Filmstream. Upon some investigation. I cant seem to find the info on it im looking for.
We are considering it on our upcoming production.
The HDW-F900 did not do so good our last time around, and Im loosing trust in Sony, even with there new HDC-F950. This camera also has a LOT of features over the Sony or Panasonic Cameras. One being It's Uncompressed, 2nd being it has aShutter. That is what Im really happy about.
Viper does seem a Lot more of a "cinema" Camera from the Literature they have on it. But I just cant seem to find help on the following problems:
#1: They claim that each pixel has 9.2Mp.... Is this true? That would mean it outbeats the Sony by 3 1/2 Times the Resolution. that there would outbeat the resolution of film by a lot. Also, what is the CCD Size? Is it bigger than most HD cameras?
#2: My DP and I are conserned about the camera not having ANY in-camera Picture corrections. although this is handy on-set. Im not sure how much trouble it will cause in post. and also since the images are untreated, if they can be corrected in post as much to make it as good if not better than the HDW Capture.
#3: Is it true it has more color space than the HDW or Varicam?
#4: when used in RGB mode, will I still get the same resolution and stuff from the camera?
If you can answer some of these for me, please do so.
Thank You,
Landon Parks.
