New Sony primers from Omeneo

Press text:

We are starting 2019 with the introduction of a new generation of Primers for Sony.

This is a massive overhaul affecting all Sony camera models in our Primers lineup. Through further research, findings and advancements we are now able to achieve further improvements of image in multiple parameters, bringing more accurate, stable, thicker, richer, more cinematic and organic looking image. New generation now also offers easier look matching between different cameras and improved creative range in post production, especially with S-Log2 in 8 bits, where the tendency of banding has been greatly reduced.
Newest generation is online for F55, FS7, FS5, A7R2 and A7S2 and updates are hitting emails soon. Update is free of charge, as our way of saying thank you to all the Creatives worldwide who recognized the potential of our tools and helped this project grow. A6300/6500, RX10mk2 and A7S1 are soon to follow.

Primers project info:
Primers are per-sensor and base colour science designed, scene-independent image transformations, embodied into a set of high precision 3DLUTs, which improve imaging performance of a camera. Each set is designed on professional, in-depth camera signal analysis, to provide superior imaging results with organic and stable image basis. The optimization of the image provides multiple improvements in aesthetic and technical parameters, further empowering post production.

This simple image shows you why the Sony A7 8K Full Frame cameras are not coming any time soon

The past weeks I leaked the specs of the first Sony 8K Full frame sensor. But I also warned you that final cameras might not have 8K. And the image on top t posted by Panasonic shows in an easy way why 8K on small cameras like the A7-A9 are yet not possible.

This new Panasonic FF camcorder that will be on market by late 2019 has a huge amount of ventilation vents holes necessary to dissipate the amount of heat produced by the processor. I guess it’s impossible for now to have an A7-A9 body with 8k30p…
