This has basically everything I want in a camera. This probably won't be possible but if this thing got BRAW...I would be very excited. I loved the review and the doc at the end. Beautifully done.

[@marklondon8793]

That is a stunning camera, used to perfection as usual. At $12k its very tempting, and the PR4444 means its useful for vfx too.

[@marktierney7763]

@@kshuf8426 sure. But this has specific uses far above most cheaper cameras. All the best.

[@RaafiRivero]

Great documentary profile at the end! I love the inclusion of practical shooting in a camera review.

[@AnkurGurungtrendsetter]

Hey man why inactive in KZbin. Loved your work. Your subscriber here.

[@RaafiRivero]

@@AnkurGurungtrendsetter Hi - been busy with a couple projects, one I hope to post to KZbin sometime this summer. Posted a teaser a month or two back.

[@jfilmzstudio3470]

Raafi!!! Big up's!!!!

[@vedadrive3130]

the best reviews, docs on youtube. honestly, always moving. we get the tech specs and the real world use but mainly we get the end product from a real artist. more then most reviewers can say. bravo.

[@storiesofbike]

Great review. I've been a big fan of Kinefinity for the last 3-4 years having used their Terra 4k and Mavo LF cameras quite a lot. They are wonderful camera and the Edge 8k is another amazing leap forward for them. Your short film of Deborah was just wonderful.

[@aaronholmes1914]

Lovely work on the mini-doc! Very much appreciate these camera reviews. Excellent story telling and beautiful images.

[@philscanlan7321]

Gorgeous looking images, beastly camera, and a wonderful doco piece. Thanks Johnnie.

[@alfonsoarayat]

Oh so much beauty, thank you Johnnie and Luciano for all the love put into your mini docs!

[@graemeroberts2935]

Thank you, Deborah, for sharing your life and feelings with us. Very brave! I loved the small documentary. Johnny's work is always beautiful, and so are your photographs, Deborah.

[@potatoface4698]

The best camera review in history. This is high art and a masterpiece ☺🎬🎥

[@gafpagear]

loved the footage, so smooth , deep, rich ! such a canvas!

[@younesmahrach5143]

Great documentary and production by 2 people. Waowoo 🤩. Bravo Johnny and Luciano 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@torpedo35]

Always a pleasure to see someone who genuinely loves their craft ,recorded my someone who actually understand the process.

[@swisslakestudio7466]

Great footage, editing and amazing story = real documentary and good job ;) bravo

[@SourceAwareness]

🙏🏾👍🏾 WOWWW, amazing review and amazing documentary ! You're amazing, and so is Deborah! Fantastic work, CineD, I just subscribed! Thank you and Best Wishes

[@genxtechguy]

Great review. Can ProRes 4444 be used in all frame rates and resolutions?

[@photojournalists]

Beautifully shot and edited. Loved that looking up trees wide angle B-roll edit in there as well as the river B-rolls so nicely mixed with her voice. Hope they add some gyroscopic motion detection data in there so you can stabilize in post.

[@ruff1draft]

Another excellent review and cinematic film

[@Ishijah1]

The documentary seems very emotional 😭 where can I watch the full length of it.

[@CineD]

Hi Ishijah1. Unfortunately there is no "full length" version. This mini doc is part of us testing the camera. Thanks for understanding. Johnnie

[@alzibaba]

What an absorbing, beautiful, engaging documentary Johnnie, thanks so much for including this. So nice to see slow movement gently drawing the viewer in. Really captivating, plus the camera really delivers on IQ. Been considering Kinefinity since their start, this looks like a fabulous package.

[@CineD]

Dear @alzibaba. Thank you very much for your kind warm words. Appreciated! Johnnie

[@ubarhd1]

Fantastic great video...amazing colors..very high resolution...clean footage...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 great camera

[@philippwelsing5233]

Brilliant work, really. This is the way to show what a camera is capable of. Best picture quality I've seen in a while, especially for the price point.

[@werkstatt-media4331]

Great documentary! Very well done 👏

[@Designguidetv]

what a beautiful documentary full of heart and soul!

[@PJM-Media]

Maybe the best mini doc you have ever done in a camera review !!! Amazing work!

[@BNC593]

A really well done review

[@machmutdoener]

Great video! If i want to use lets say a Fe Mount Sony lens without manual aputure control, how will i be able to change the aputure?

[@regen1005]

Question : can this camera’s output be used for live streaming or external recorder ? For example ATEM mini and Atomos ?

[@ubarhd1]

Footage very pro level 👏🏻

[@ChristianBMeza]

I haven't been that gripped to a documentary in so long. For once in a very long time I could nourish myself to superb cinematography; the breathing room, timing, exposures and gentle movements were extraordinary. I hope more people get the chance to feel what I just felt, and I am so tempted to get an Edge 8K myself, now.

[@Ben-cx8de]

Great piece again Johnnie and the mannequin was bang on, Deborah is a cool lady

[@hanspeterschepp]

Really nice piece of documentary there!

[@KallusGarnet]

Amazing video about Olga.

[@thedp]

wonderful mini doc. not something I get to say very often. a bit of an inspiration for a project I'm starting next week.

[@chicobraz4335]

when are you guys going to finally test DR and RS , im looking to see how it compares to the Komodo , and how close it is to the Alexa sensor in terms of DR

[@stephanes.]

the most beautiful colors so far to my eyes

[@lukeecle117]

Thanks, nice job CineD Nice job, Kinefinity

[@Tritoon710]

Impressive picture quality! What lenses has been used to record the mini documentary?

[@yesthisisdonut]

he says it in the video, just before the film starts.

[@andrewskater17]

whats the sensor readout of the edge?

[@amarinsporri3733]

Wow, the part about everything being a reflection is really deep :D beautifully made! Ps. Were the images stylized in post or neutral rec709? I sometimes got the feeling there was a weird color tint and I'd like to know if it's the color science, my eyes or a creative lut ;D

[@Fedorevsky]

It says luts by https:/fylm.ai right at the end of the video, so I'm guessing it's maybe one of their 15 ready-made ACEScct Print Film Emulations in combination with one of their 15 Cine looks made into a lut.

[@Ranger7Studios]

Some really nice features on this camera. I especially love the dual battery option. I wish they had more service places in the states. If there were, this brand would be a consideration for my next camera.

[@MattiaMerli]

Amazing piece Johnnie! And she works with a 5DII!! Very weel done!!!

[@AlexDerrick_DP]

5DII is a great camera still! Stills and video mode ;)

[@changeli3901]

FINALLY!

[@innstikk]

Very nice!

[@tjibbeproductions5640]

What camera was your head shot shot on?

[@8KHDRVideoBySittipong]

I would love to try this camera in Thailand, but it can not be available in Thailand.

[@KARIMYATRIB]

Johnnie the best !!

[@OlimpiuVuia]

I don't know about the camera but your films are great! Thank you!

[@nickxc]

Finally! The edge

[@yesthisisdonut]

very nice portrait. those jump cuts are ballsy but they somehow fit :)

[@Photographicelements]

I know you’re talking about the Mavo Edge, but all I can think about is how great the Fuji XT4 footage looks upres’d to 8k! LOL. Thanks for this review! And I really love the footage from this camera! The Mavo is really going after RED. 8k at 75fps!! I haven’t filmed on the Monstro or Weapon, but the RED Epic-W has to scale down in resolution and greater compression for 75fps. I love all the connections on the back and that battery option is just awesome! When the V-mounts run out that’s the end of the shoot day, but everything has a Sony battery. Love the mini doc! Johnnie, you are the king of mini docs! I want a mini doc of you teaching how to mini doc! Thanks so much!!

[@Photographicelements]

The shots really reflect her images and style; nice cinematography!!

[@liamriley9816]

X-T4?

[@EricSwain79]

Best cameras are the one's that don't get in the way of the story. Capturing the images in a way that helps tell this story in indoor, outdoor and low light locations shows the true capability of this camera. Very impressed that this was not shot in RAW which is the latest rage now.

[@blaspayri]

very high image quality, and very smooth results when doing some panning ... I suppose the slight teal and orange look comes from postproduction color grading.

[@davidhartman2717]

Curious about this as well.

[@Imhotep397]

Whoa, what’s the issue with the lack of ProRes RAW?

[@JamesJacksonFilmz]

From what I understand. I guess they were hoping to bypass the RED paten by working with Apple to implement ProRes Raw. But that doesn’t appear the case they still have to pay RED to use Raw In camera and given that Kinefinity would still have to Pay apple for ProRes Raw license, they were getting hit twice in terms of cost. So they scrapped it.

[@ubarhd1]

Interesting story

[@asishmahapatro5197]

How to attend work shop in online sir.Very clear pretentions nice information. 🙏🌹🎥

[@earthlevel4569]

honest question: who is buying these Kine cameras? Is this the default in Asia?

[@seanseah242]

Nice story.

[@m.ifmimakhbruryst5884]

This camera angle of view is better than the Vista Vision, ....it just soooo great

[@KillingTheMost]

The best

[@fujifilmsfashionphotograph8738]

Sir how much Indian rupees

[@DavidBattistella]

Would have loved to see the doc first and then the explanation of the camera tech. Let’s always put the art first and the technology second. Thank you for the video.

[@jxjm]

Waiting for this camera for too long, great specs but how about rolling shutter and color science ? Every pan or travelling that I saw from this camera are so so jittery ...

[@shagral_]

Beautiful mini doc! I don't understand the patent situation. It only applies to US and Kinefinity doesn't sell in the US, so what's the deal?

[@marklondon8793]

RED can sue anywhere outside of China.

[@Mr_Frequency]

Red seriously is evil at this point and needs to be destroyed economically for the good of the video industry.

[@marklondon8793]

@@Mr_Frequency Even if they fold the camera company (unlikely - the Komodo selling very well) just having that patent will give them economic life for the next 60 years. If Apple couldn't break it, no-one can.

[@JonPais]

@@Mr_Frequency RED is a revolutionary camera, Jim Jannard was a visionary. A Ninja V weighs only a few ounces, SSDs are much less expensive than internal media and serious productions incl. HDR require an external monitor anyhow. When you invent an industry changing cinema camera, give away all your patents for free! 😂 Only an unstable person would talk about destroying any camera manufacturer.

[@manchumuq]

From what I know, the majority of cinema cameras do not allow users to directly delete individual clips other than full format the media, I don't know why is it an issue with Kinefinity. Also, about the pricing part, you pay what you are apealing to, if the camera doesn't fullfil your needs, you don't buy it. Kinefinity being a 12k dollars camera is giving you way much more value relatively nonexists in the market, the ProRes Raw issue is not about how Kinefinity want to price, it's about the RAW patent holding by two parties, and you can't charge the user a slight amount individually to compensate the overall cost that's being paid to both Apple and the other patent holder.

[@techknowbabble]

Has anyone paired this with the Ninja V+ yet?

[@HuFilms]

Though Deborah is a brilliant photographer, when her photo's were popping up I was like... sh*t man, not now!

[@goddyab]

But really why don't they have a physical Office here in USA, if possible in Los Angeles, that will be Fantastic, I just want to see it before spending my money, but something tells me I might prefer it more than Red camera.....I think 🤔.

[@cire30a]

its sad she didnt get to experience that reflection of God in her father who left. the joy of a father and daughter is so beautiful.

[@reticulan5]

8K 12 bit 4:4:4 on a full frame sensor. I wished the new Blackmagic full frame sensor Ursa was 8K not 12K. Simply because it is very bad in low light.

[@Ranger7Studios]

They should have added BRAW to it. I find it better then Prores RAW. That would have made it worth the price tag.

[@JamesJacksonFilmz]

They may have no other choice now. Given that the two SDI ports are not fast enough for 4K and 8K raw recording (3G only), ProRes Raw even externally is out the window.

[@svstudiosgermany]

Why that don’t Lizence BRAW???

[@alexandertorro]

.......It's good....but I'm gonna wait until the next camera manufacture.... to come out with a better one... And then.....I still won't buy ......There will be another better one shortly after that. ......In fact.....I think I'm just gonna keep on waiting.....I may never shoot any content.....but at least I'll never be that guy with the dated camera. 😁

[@JamesJacksonFilmz]

I see what you did there lol

[@WalterTheBalter]

who cares a camera is a camera is a camera. Sure the one you have now to make memorable film

[@MythVietnamese]

almost decide to sell my car to buy this camera

inshallah Mohammed!

[@fujifilmsfashionphotograph8738]

Thankyou

[@ndavies8]

I found Deborah more interesting than Kinefinity. I guess the story really is the medium.

[@unclejezza]

This is great content but man, you need to script your videos. I’m trying to be patient as you fumble through your thoughts and perhaps struggle with English words but at certain points, it’s just too much (when you were talking about ProRes raw fro example)

[@musicelect]

It’s unfortunate they couldn’t get ProRes RAW internally as initially promised

[@Mr_Frequency]

Call your congressperson about patent reform or wait until 2028.

[@musicelect]

@@Mr_Frequency 😆 yeah, I don’t think my Congress reps are gonna be able to do anything. RED has successfully defended their patents for years against companies like Apple.

[@charlemarcharlemar2401]

You lost me at China.

[@art_means_artificial]

overpriced!!!

[@JonPais]

💩

[@ErrickJackson]

Do tell: what other 8k 75fps Prores 444 shooting cinema cameras with built-in variable ND do you know of at or below $12k?

[@kacofilms_weddings]

Very nice!
