C-Log 4K for 5D Mark IV ? - DigitalRev TV

[LostBoyNZ]

Kai from DigitalRev TV mentioned this in the latest video, when talking about the video of the 1DX Mark II...

"But it doesn't have LOG. C-Log. Whatever they call it. If you want a 4K Canon, I'd probably wait for something else... something ending with... Mark 4. Possibly coming out around Photokina time."

I wonder if Kai already knows the 5D Mark IV has C-Log 4K video? Or if it's just his estimate? It certainly sounded like he knew it for a fact though.

Meh, probably just Kai being mischievious.

Canon are also trying to market the 5DIV as a video orientated DSLR

I haven't seen any 5D4 marketing. Got a link?

yeah ok you got me on that one. that's just my interpretation of all the rumors to date.

If I were to guess, it would be that the marketing campaign for a 5D4 would be similar to that of 5D3. And I suspect the hardware will be similar: better than most at everything, but not the best at anything.

I don't understand the Log very well so I have this question.

Is it more like a software thing? Isn't it possible with ML to achieve C-LOG? I mean if they manage to catch RAW video, and then utilize it with c-log...?

Could anyone better understanding the heart of things explain? I know about these encodings?

Simple version is that Log is going to produce a very flat low contrast image with much more latitude for grading in post than a prebaked image with contrast and colors already tweaked. LOG could be recorded in whatever codec the camera offers. Most cinema folks would prefer to shoot in LOG mode and record to RAW or ProRes or whatever format they want/can use
