Blackmagic Raw to me. Quality is pretty much on par with the S5II finally (unlike older S-series cameras) and there's extra highlight recovery even and proper white balance options.

[bramandamahaputra]

I'm happy with my initial instinctual choice which was B, been wanting to get this exact setup of S5IIX + BMA. Great stuff man

[thequakevids]

Not to mention BlackMagic has a much much better history than Atomos, with support, quality, and especially morality. Perfect? No. But leagues better.

[Naif.alawad]

I was looking for honest comparisons and I did not find them with anyone. You are the only one who presented them very clearly. Thank you and continue.

Once again knocked it out of the park. Best video content channel at the moment. Literally thought of this the last day.

Some video ideas I'd love to see is

high ISO test vs other brands.

Comparison of codecs, vlog vs braw.

Most versatile cages. Falcam vs SmallRig vs Sirui vs Tilta vs Kondor Blue

IBIS test in different situations as well as with Gimbal vs easyrig.

Optimal battery solution. Rotating between Batteries vs v mount.

Best recording media. Ssd vs sd cards

[AbdonPhirathon]

Braw looks great in all of the tests, save for the skin tone which tends to go more magenta. Didn’t really see any dynamic range advantage with either, so it’s good to know that you’re not really missing out regardless of the recorder you decide to use.

Still waiting on that Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K review, though 😂

Still can get the 5” version for black magic

[MrCoffis]

ProRes is the clear winner in terms of picture quality. Less NR more detail and colour/luminance information retained in the image…but I’d still go with bm raw since it’s a very easy format to use and can pick the quality that suits your storage.
Did you mention your recording settings?

[stephanes.]

I found that boot time on the Ninja is too long

[simplelightmedia]

I have seen colorist make Pro Res raw look as good as any raw. I prefer pro res raw. I use both braw and pro res. You did a god job with this video however.

[lenartceferin]

When I saw the A footage I instantly knew it was Pro Res Raw, I didn't even have to see the B footage. Blackmagic RAW just has so much richer and warmer colors.

[LowryDroneography-Steve]

Good to know for future reference 👌 nice one

[godface]

Dude nice one. I wanted to do this video but i dont really make youtube videos your much better at it. I have the ninja 5 and the assist 5 12g that i use with my lumix s5iix. Was going to return the ninja but i kind liked it too much, the raw converter app for windows works great for converting prores raw to cineDNG for editing in davinci. So im keeping both. nice review

[ndiondoindsoisniddnbixnobu]

we need braw for sony camera external raw

[DenysLukoshkin]

Great comparison, thank you very much!

[ivandj]

Great video, thank you for comparison, very informative.

[lonceysbusiness]

Cheers much makes me want to switch to Panasonic 😊

Why can’t you do it all in camera?

Forget these monitors that make your rig more heavy ❤

[MrlegendOr]

ProresRAW is a true RAW, Braw is not. Because it is partially debayered in the camera, the consequence are, noise are compressed, colours are compressed, to balance this behaviour they had to add a sharpening on the image. RAW is RAW, if you had sharpening on your image before anyone touched it, it is not RAW anymore. For a better comparison, you better watch DPjourney in the subject 🙃

[leeaki]

ProRes RAW is superior. With the Blackmagic Video Assist and BRAW, I sometimes encountered artifacts (macroblocking, banding?). ProRes RAW, on the other hand, delivers high quality and is known for being true RAW.

[AexoeroV]

Hey, 1:03 the Blackmagic Video Assist cant capture Prores RAW or why did you used the Atomos for Prores?
