I came to the comments here to find out first if anyone else noticed and two if a cause was determined. It was actually a distracting vibrant purple on my monitor not 'hints of purple'
That's one of your best videos, hilarious conversations between Chris and Jordan, and very complete review overall + good to see the correct settings were used to shoot 30fps!
Pleasantly surprised to see you (a Canadian) wearing a "Stillwater, Oklahoma" tee-shirt, Jordan! I'm from Kansas and attended Kansas State University, but Oklahoma State, in Stillwater, is a fellow Big 12 school. Good job flying solo on this review--stay safe!
Ahem (3:25), Lossless compression does not throw away *ANY* infomation. For it to be lossless means that you have to be able to recover the original, bit-for-bit. This has been well understood in the computer biz for decades. (e.g. zip compression). A more recent audio comparison would be Apple's lossless audio compression which will shrink the size of a file by a factor of 2-3.
The best camera ever made. Thanks guys. I'm a Leica and Fuji shooter, but hats off to Sony. If I was a professional, there is now only one place to go ....
Chris, it's exciting to see you look much better! I'm glad you're out of the house for the next video! Jordan you look dapper behind your electric drum kit!
The CGI graphics you included to introduce the overheating segment was impressive. Glad to see all the money I spend watching these videos is being well-spent.
Don’t ever change, you guys. You are GOLD! Love watching your videos. Been following you guys since the days of old on another channel that shall not be named… :-)
Great job from Jordan, I really enjoyed the stills :) Also, I am very happy that Chris is getting better, I am really looking forward to seeing you two together again!
Lossless compression doesn’t throw anything away, it uses a lossless compression encoding. Like gzip or lz4 or any of a number of compression formats. One thing I would hope for in a firmware update is “deferred lossless” as an option. Say, go through the uncompressed lossless shots and rewrite them as compressed lossless as a batch operation.
Normally Jordan's color grading is superb but I am noticing clipping in the skin tones (magentas/blues/aquas/greens) during the brighter scenes in this video (outdoors and at the drumkit). Is this because it is limited to 4.2.0 or maybe Cinetone?
Yeah, for the first 5 minutes, the forehead seems to be constantly changing in the red channel as he talks. Its almost as if they left Auto Exposure on... in a snow scene with a white sky, and the subject is wearing a black jacket. Either not the best setup/settings to show off the color science, or something is seriously wrong with the camera! By about 7 minutes in, when we see the blue sky, it seems to sort itself out. Hopefully that was by switching AE off.
In all seriousness. The real photography news last week wasn't the Sony camera. It was the Fujifilm GFX100S...for $500 less than the Sony A1. Medium format, 100MP, great features with a line up of really good glass. Sony's price point made both the R5 and the GFX100S look really good.
@@AndyLSB it requires “almost no grading”. As it stands, it’s more likely that he borked the magentas himself and didn’t notice. Or maybe the screen you’re viewing the video on isn’t calibrated properly, or you might be partially colourblind, etc etc. The default assumption you made can be as easily explained by any number of factors. The fact that he found the colours fit for public release after he himself graded them should cause you to be curious about why they look off to you, whether they look off to people on average, and if he would release badly graded footage. I could care less about the camera as I’m not going to dump that much money into a body for hobby use, but I do think people should try to be better critical thinkers
@@perilthecat Ok first of all do you have a personal issues or something ? If now one says anything about the colors then he might not notice, second of all my monitor IS calibrated and I'm not color blinded which it would be something you don't have to care about and third calm down because that's why people ask questions, to know what happened, that is why I asked what is wrong with the colors.
Get well soon Chris 👍 Having said that: Jordan, you did a splendid job covering the photocentric aspects of the camera. Yes, the drumshoot looked cool, but no worries, on every other shot you look cool as well. Overall I love how you both wrap your humor and the special chemistry you have around every of your review episodes. Gotta say: really cool gang of two you are 🙂👌🌈🤘🤘🤘
Well done, Jordan! Thanks for pulling this one together (and suffering the cold and all). Great video! I especially enjoyed the use of the 135mm GM here. Happy to see Chris looking and feeling much better now, too. Cheers!
Please when doing the running test give it a bit of a challenge like turning your head to the side or running in and out of frame or running on a bit more of an angle like you would get all the time in actual sports. Or things like having your hand in front of your face briefly or putting your head down. Running towards the camera looking directly at it the whole is actually a pretty weak test.
Great review, Jordan! This is why I turn to DpReview first. You've pointed out all the caveats that the other "influence" click-bait algorithm bound youtubers haven't. Great job!
Thanks for that. BTW Lossless compressed Raw doesn't throw anything away, needed or not, it just shrinks repeating info to make the whole thing smaller... when you uncompress the data it's 100% identical to an uncompressed raw. Also were your over-heating times with the option to let it get a lot hotter enabled? As they still default to not enabling that presumably there are some down-sides, any idea what (does it just get really hot)? Oh and have you tested the R5 heating with the new firmware yet or just the R6?
Jordan great work, hopefully Chris will not loose his job. 1 question: is it normal that in the darker scene of the video I can see pixelization on the left side of the picture (ca. 12:20minutes of the video)? Where does this come from? Have a nice time Best regards Bernd
What is going on with the colors in the drum scene. Tones on your face are all over the place. Either badly graded or something went wrong there. You didn't write the settings you shot in during that scene.
Lossless isn't supposed to throw away any data (and I hope it doesn't). The way this works on most cameras is ZIP or a similar algorithm is applied on top of raw sensor data.
Awesome and entertaining review, as always, guys! Glad you're on the mend already, Chris! 💪 Thanks for all the hard work you do on these (esp. Jordan this time doing a solo production outside in the freezing cold ❄️).
12:50 some really horrible banding in the background there, where the light falls off towards the edge of the frame. I wonder if it's UA-cam compression causing this or whether it's present in the original file. 200Mbps seems awfully low for 8K.
Same ergonomics, just love it when the finger knuckles rubbing against the lens and pinky hangs out and missing the grip.It must be cold over there , so cold to get orange face.
The colors are all over the place in your face. I thought it was just because it was cold out but then there’s all types of stuff going on in your face during the drum kit scene...
Waiting for the A7R5 that I'm told will track that chipmunk's eyes while its head is in the ziplock bag! Great content as usual :) Hoping for Chris to feel better soon.
The whole image is kinda jumping frequently at 1:11 and following and 3:45 and following. Could be seen in the left lower corner. whats going on? stabilizer going ham? is the a1 too excited to see jordan ? Seems like a windy day. - Anyway great video Jordan!
Quick, Thank you for all that you do! I have been following DP Review and then your separate UA-cam channel for many years! A quick no technical question. @ just about the 11:18 time frame, there is A Building behind the car that's reads SERVICE. I think I have been in that area near Toronto (although I think you hail from the opposite cost). I was in middle of either opening or closing a TESLA Dealer Ship. Any chance that where you where? Keep doing what you do so well, Thanks Again, ToddBuff
How you know, a videographer is trying to do a photography review: He thinks, photographers wear headphones while shooting and he constantly talks about MBits regarding filesizes :-D
Menu is probably hardware side process, like the way Apples M1 chip has separate hardware h265 side process, and encryption side process built in. Edit: The chips running cameras aren’t general processors like snapdragons or intel chips, they’re more like the chips that runs Bluetooth or the chips in USB cables.
Really well carried, Jordan. Congrats! Thinking back on how reluctant you were to get in front of the camera in the early days. And the way you guys laugh off Canadian winter - impressive. As for the camera... as an α7iii shooter, it sure is tempting! Although of course we're also all curious about what the α7iv will bring.
Oh dear, poor jordan in the cold! It's clearly that he is freezing! Thank you Jordan! With regards to the Cinetone, I am not sure if it was the cold on your screen or Cinetone appearing too red?
Still has that Sony skin tone(funk), 3:02 outside(too magenta), 11:35 inside(too green). AF tracking for animals and bird’s eye is still noticeably behind the R5 though.
Agree for the in-body pixel shift image, also would love to have an in body HDR stacked image. Next would love to have more dynamic range at least 15 stops or even higher, and a better in body image stabilization. A built in electronic variable ND would be great and finally with the next version would love to have 24 fps lossless compressed raw up to 1 minute or 1440 images, and 4:3 sensor with 4:3 anamorphic video mode
You look so cool behind that drum-kit!
I agree, Jordan looks cool with the drum kit.
Also, good to hear Chris is doing well
I don't know that I agree with that, but I agree his wife is very sweet to tell him he looks cool.
Somehow I always thought that Jordan is a drum guy, while Chris is more a guitar dude. I'm pretty much sure he collects Strats in his basement.
And I heard familiar female voice.
did he get covid or something
"Play the shutter sound through headphones..." yup, that a video guy testing still shooting...!
Must be cold, Jordan’s sitting on the rock like a toddler that’s gotta pee.
Evelyn is now Jordan's Jordan.
He seems a little underdressed for the weather.
@@ThomasS17 It''s a young-guy-on-the-prairies-in-winter thing. Usually it's a jean jacket and tee shirt.
@@petermclennan6781 I'm in the prairies wearing a hoodie and shorts in -40c weather indoors
@@ThomasS17 Understatement of the century.
I do not understand why he thought that was appropriate for the weather.
Worried for him!
I just love Jordan’s stunned mullet look when the stills instructions, portraits, sports and night club setting are mentioned
Probably the most fun and efficient camera reviews one can watch right now - thanks guys
Why do you have hints of purple on your face in the drum kit shot?
Something is way wrong with the color when he is outside 4:20
He's thawing out.
I came to the comments here to find out first if anyone else noticed and two if a cause was determined. It was actually a distracting vibrant purple on my monitor not 'hints of purple'
@@jtalstad I noticed it, too. It's impossible not to! Surprised more haven't commented...
I saw it mainly at around 11:40
That's one of your best videos, hilarious conversations between Chris and Jordan, and very complete review overall + good to see the correct settings were used to shoot 30fps!
Jordan, you DO look cool behind that drum kit
If he shows the drum kit, PLAY the drum kit!

I can't believe you don't already have 300k subscribers. Your reviews are a really good watch.
The CGI graphics you included to introduce the overheating segment was impressive. Glad to see all the money I spend watching these videos is being well-spent.
The drum kit looks so cool in front of you!
Don’t ever change, you guys. You are GOLD! Love watching your videos.
Been following you guys since the days of old on another channel that shall not be named… :-)
Purple eye make-up, or Sony skin tones? 🤔
His wife thought the purple eye shadow would look rock and roll with the drum kit. 🤣 She was right! 👍
legit the worst skin tones I've ever seen
😂not sure if that's from the camera or because it was probably
Or reflected light from an off-camera surface or Evelyn's clothing perhaps?
...guessing it was mixed light sources and a compromise grading / white balance. But yeah, not pretty (but cool...).
@@NORWAYORNOWAY or maybe it is some kind of "tile and orange" processing that makes weird colors
Great job from Jordan, I really enjoyed the stills :) Also, I am very happy that Chris is getting better, I am really looking forward to seeing you two together again!
Your “La Dolce Vita” poster definitely wins you major bonus points. Excellent review!
Lossless compression doesn’t throw anything away, it uses a lossless compression encoding. Like gzip or lz4 or any of a number of compression formats. One thing I would hope for in a firmware update is “deferred lossless” as an option. Say, go through the uncompressed lossless shots and rewrite them as compressed lossless as a batch operation.
Jordan: I will record a professional video with proper mike and headphones.
Chris: Hey look what I found down the back of the sofa.
Normally Jordan's color grading is superb but I am noticing clipping in the skin tones (magentas/blues/aquas/greens) during the brighter scenes in this video (outdoors and at the drumkit). Is this because it is limited to 4.2.0 or maybe Cinetone?
I'd say tis Cinetone.
4:2:0 is only for 8k, otherwise it's 4:2:2, and also, if you downsample 4:2:0, you get 4:2:2 anyway.
Yeah, for the first 5 minutes, the forehead seems to be constantly changing in the red channel as he talks. Its almost as if they left Auto Exposure on... in a snow scene with a white sky, and the subject is wearing a black jacket. Either not the best setup/settings to show off the color science, or something is seriously wrong with the camera! By about 7 minutes in, when we see the blue sky, it seems to sort itself out. Hopefully that was by switching AE off.
4:2:0 vs 4:2:2 barely effects the image outside of things like keying greenscreens. It's most likely Cinetone and their exposure.
There may be a drawback to Jordan being in front rather than behind the camera...
I am truly amazed at how humble, soft-spoken, gentle and down-to-earth the presenters on this channel are. ❤
In all seriousness. The real photography news last week wasn't the Sony
camera. It was the Fujifilm GFX100S...for $500 less than the Sony A1.
Medium format, 100MP, great features with a line up of really good

Sony's price point made both the R5 and the GFX100S look really good.
Glad to see you’re feeling better Chris. I’d love to see Jordan record an episode on a Sony a5100. Lol!
what's wrong with the colors ? 11:02 actually in various portions of the video the Magentas look super intense and almost purple sometimes
You, uh... you did see that Jordan graded the video from s-cinetone, right? So if the tones are magenta... it’s his fault.
@@perilthecat that's why I'm asking what's wrong ? In S-Cinetone you don't have to grade basically, It already gives a Rec709 look
@@AndyLSB it requires “almost no grading”. As it stands, it’s more likely that he borked the magentas himself and didn’t notice.

Jordan did this as a rush job, by himself, so stop bullying him about the tiny quality difference to usual.
7:41 Chipmunk? LOL that's a squirrel!
Where's Camera Conspiracies to clear this stuff up when you need him
No S-Cinetone on the a7Siii yet :'( Can you fellas give Sony a shout to sort their shit out. Great vid as always!
Get well soon Chris 👍 Having said that: Jordan, you did a splendid job covering the photocentric aspects of the camera. Yes, the drumshoot looked cool, but no worries, on every other shot you look cool as well.

What is going on with the colors in the drum scene. Tones on your face are all over the place. Either badly graded or something went wrong there. You didn't write the settings you shot in during that scene.
Yeah that was very strange.
Someone suggested S-cinetone
If you do long format video, you can power the camera with a dummy battery and it won't overheat at all.
Could you elaborate on that please.
@@youngmo77 instead of powering the camera with a regular battery, you can plug in a dummy battery and power the camera off the wall.
Excellent as always! Chris getting well is welcomed news! Jordan did a stellar job as always!
7:02 my god that is impressive continuous AF. One of those things Sony does not pull any punches on when they want to is auto focus.
Lossless isn't supposed to throw away any data (and I hope it doesn't). The way this works on most cameras is ZIP or a similar algorithm is applied on top of raw sensor data.

Things improve when he talks about video mode XD
yes really strange. Looks like he has make-up on lol.
Great job Chris and Jordan, despite the winter environment and the disastrous pandemic. And the stills of the little ones - charming..
“they are pretty manageable files”
laughing in 2015 macbook air
Great to hear Chris is feeling better
10:40 Awesome posters, I particularly love Jules et Jim!
The footage of Jordan behind the drum kit was bright, very sharp and spectacular. What camera was that?
Thumbs up for your work in this difficult time!
I came here for the drums, and boy did you deliver!
Waiting for the A7R5 that I'm told will track that chipmunk's eyes while its head is in the ziplock bag! Great content as usual :) Hoping for Chris to feel better soon.
i want the eye tracking when the animal is no longer there...
This thing might be the Camera of the Year 2021.

Windy day blowing the monopod around. I'll drag a tripod out next time.
Love your duo guys.
You rock. Thanks for the review
Great job Jordan. Way to take one for the team. Get well soon, Chris.

Any reason why, per 13:52, the electronic shutter is faster in photo mode vs video mode? Appreciate any insight. Thanks in advance, Ben.
I LOVE rock n roll Jordan! Step aside Chris there's a new sheriff in town!
BEST CAMERA CHANNEL, PERIOD.
Thanks for the review, guys. I can empathize with Jordan trying to film and put on a brave face in extreme cold :)
Chris who? Absolutely brilliant effort from Jordan. No weak links in this team.
Yep good to see Chris doing well.
Another awesome video from you Guys👌👌. And yes Jordan, you look absolutely awesome behind your drum set 😉💪
How you know, a videographer is trying to do a photography review: He thinks, photographers wear headphones while shooting and he constantly talks about MBits regarding filesizes :-D
You mean,we should not shot with our BEATS headphones on to shoot better?I mean,who needs to hear while they are in NYC walking around??hehehehe
Quick question, the aliasing on the jeans at 03:02, is it in the original video or just on the youtube export/encode?
Love the blue eyes behind the drum kit.
Any reason the a7iii menus couldn't be updated too? It's just software after all.
Menu is probably hardware side process, like the way Apples M1 chip has separate hardware h265 side process, and encryption side process built in.
Edit: The chips running cameras aren’t general processors like snapdragons or intel chips, they’re more like the chips that runs Bluetooth or the chips in USB cables.
Is that the road that we are hearing or you added some full stadium sound effects??
The drum kit works, J. Always listen to the lady. It was nice to see Sony break from their habit of 6x sensor base. Knew it would do well.
They used the a1 for a couple of shots during the Superbowl broadcast today! Very impressive piece of kit.
Good job Jordan 👏🏻 very enjoyable review
Good to hear you are feeling better.
Great work guys
Really well carried, Jordan. Congrats! Thinking back on how reluctant you were to get in front of the camera in the early days.
And the way you guys laugh off Canadian winter - impressive.
As for the camera... as an α7iii shooter, it sure is tempting! Although of course we're also all curious about what the α7iv will bring.
Everybody comments on how you look cool because of the drums, but I have to add that you got some good taste in cinema too.
Drinking game! Take a shot each time Jordan blinks. You might end up sober
Oh dear, poor jordan in the cold! It's clearly that he is freezing! Thank you Jordan! With regards to the Cinetone, I am not sure if it was the cold on your screen or Cinetone appearing too red?
2:13 Tell me you’re cold without telling me you’re cold 😏
I love your Stillwater, OK t-shirt. Did you go to school at OSU? I taught there for eight years back in the early 2000s.
Still has that Sony skin tone(funk), 3:02 outside(too magenta), 11:35 inside(too green). AF tracking for animals and bird’s eye is still noticeably behind the R5 though.
Kudos to you Jordan, solid first look work! Try to take some rest to have both of you back on top for the next episode :-)
Hi Chris. How are you?
Thanks for the review!
Agree for the in-body pixel shift image, also would love to have an in body HDR stacked image. Next would love to have more dynamic range at least 15 stops or even higher, and a better in body image stabilization. A built in electronic variable ND would be great and finally with the next version would love to have 24 fps lossless compressed raw up to 1 minute or 1440 images, and 4:3 sensor with 4:3 anamorphic video mode
Excellent video! And, yes Jordan, you are cool. I love to see three colours red poster on your wall. Kislovki's trilogy is one of the best ever!
