Yes, there's a slight difference between the codecs. ProRes HQ and H265 look identical. Grain and halation were added to the film emulation LUT examples. Thanks for watching.
@@johnpaulporitz, do you mean for the final test or in general? The blue shift in N-RAW is likely caused by how Resolve handles the codec. You can see it with out-of-gamut colors with strong blue light sources. It's not an issue in most cases and I prefer it over ProRes RAW because of the size and native support in Resolve. If I don't need the highest quality I choose H265. It's small and easy to grade even though it's 4:2:0.
6K Hires JPG from the first test are available here

Thanks for this test!! I will be investing in the Z6III and the Z8 at some point...
Thanks for watching. Both are great cameras.
@@cinematools No problem, thanks for your input!
Thanks for a great test!😃
Thanks for watching!
Very interesting test!
Great vid! I’ll have to rewatch again not great at retaining info lol 😂
We have a blog post in the description with the screengrabs. UA-cam compression makes it harder to spot the difference.
I would like a video like this for S5ii/s5iix and gh7.
We will not likely get to that soon, but the same principle applies to other cameras.
Interesting the slight color shifts between codecs. Were you adding grain with the LUT at the end? Thank you for the testing.

@@cinematools Which codec did you prefer most in terms of color shift?

So for storage saving you better shoot 6k NRAW "normal" than 4k NRAW "high".
Yes, and for quality reasons. 4K RAW modes have many image artifacts, so it's better to use ProRes HQ or even H265 in 4 K.
Do you see much of a difference between nraw high or normal?
Yes, when it's scaled up the N-RAW Normal fine-detail appears mushy. It is not noticeable when looking at full-screen images.
