My Assessment: 4K 24 looks fine, stabilization works OK. 4K 60p can lead to some aliasing... no like. I cut out some of it but you can still see some that made it in. No idea if its xavc-s to blame or that its binned, cropped, breathing compensation is on, AND I had active stabilization on which crops even more... crop/crop/crop makes bad times... looks ok on mobile sometimes.
Dynamic Range is very good... no problems here. Just shoot correctly in slog3 and you're fine.
Technical Information:
• Sony a7r5, Sony 50mm f1.2GM, no filters etc. because I'm lazy.
• Slog3/SGamut3.cine, graded in Davinci Resolve.
• XAVC-S, 4K binned, mostly 60p, some 24. It should be obvious.

Please be sure to follow along with your own footage. The results can be hard to see on YouTube, but it does work! Please be sure you are viewing in 1440p or higher quality in order to better view the demonstration.
Due to YouTube compression, even 1080p will simply not show the results properly... which is at least a demonstration of YouTube's inability to retain detail in HD.

The room chosen is a small office with very little wall coverings to simulate office talking heads. The light is 2 meters from subject and there is no other ambient noise in the room that is audible. According to some, this is a situation that the FS-300 is not usable due to the fan noise. Let's see if that's correct in a real life situation.

I test the .6, .9, 1.2 kit AND stack them to provide a full 2-7 stop kit that's shown, in this test, to be usable and provide neutral results across the board.

02:50 Stacked Filter Results
04:09 Vector Scope, Balance Examination
08:40 Outro
DISCLAIMER:
These filters fit in both my Smallrig Light Weight Matte Box and my Smallrig Mini Mattebox, however, the filters did NOT fit stacked together in 1 slot in the Light Weight Matte Box, but did fit stacked together in a single tray on my Mini. The Light Weight Smallrig matte box apparently does not have a wide enough slot, which is annoying, but not that big of an issue for me since I only use that one indoors and rarely need more than 2 stops of ND, if that.

Since people on YouTube often do not cite sources appropriately or check to see if some other person has their facts wrong, its anyone's guess as to where this information came from. The only thing I can conclude is either A: somebody misread something and is spreading false information or B: There are contradictory spec sheets floating around out there from Canon. Either way there is not proof that the DPAF systems are different between the two cameras.
The only thing I can conclude is that these cameras have the same DPAF version in video mode, as stated by the manufacturer.

I NEVER shoot S-Cinetone or any other baked in Rec709 look when I have even a tiny bit of post-production budget. Proper 10 bit log will provide a lot more room to make corrections if they are needed, as shown here, and will provide far more room for color grading as well. Here we explore what happens when we shoot in the wrong white balance and how much room we have to correct easily and efficiently.
Shot Specs:
Sony FX3, XAVC-SI, 4K 10 bit 4:2:2
Sigma 24-70 f2.8 DG DN @ F4
S-log3/S-Gamut3 shot in ISO640
S-Cinetone shot in ISO250 (To match exposure)
Note:
I used ISO 250 to match Rec709 transform from S-Log3 to make it easier to compare. You may wonder, why not base ISO of 100? It would require more exposure adjustments I wasn't going to make for this test and it would not prove anything anyways. S-Cinetone will ALWAYS have lower dynamic range compared to Slog3, Always. It isn't a debate or up for negotiation. If you do not believe me or Sony, you can try your own tests and choose whichever ISO levels you like, in fact, I encourage you to do so.

We do not compare all brands in this video because I cannot get access to controlled test material of ALL brands available in the same setting, but we can extrapolate from what we learn here. This sample ought to be enough to get a more broad understanding of input brand color science and how much that matters for our end results achieved. Is there special sauce? And if there is, does that really even matter for our end results?
We ask, "is good or bad Color Science more of a function of what we do with data from a camera, or is it an inherent quality from a brand's special sauce? As long as a camera gives us enough data to do what we want, does it really matter what the input color science is?"
By looking at this more empirically, we can more easily select our tools, codecs, etc. based on needs and actual measurable things (dynamic range, resolution, malleability in the grade, sharpness, noise), thus be more free in our creative expression.
Big thank you to Carlos Quintero for the test material!

Complaints were that skin tones look bad and that reds are tinted orange. I think I found the culprit... but if this does not help you, please send me your footage that shows the problem and I can attempt to trouble shoot the issue.
This method is only 1 way of checking the color science of the camera to see what things look like when displayed through color management. There are many ways to check this, but this way is very easy to do and show you.
