The quality of the footage at 120fps is garbage. Pretty much unusable for any professional work. At least it was as of the last time I tested it (over a year ago). It's possible something changed from then via FW upgrades, but I don't do those anymore. YMMV
Misleading for sure. I'm wondering if they are licensed to transcode out to ProRes via Cinelight, what's the additional cost or complication of having the camera record straight to ProRes and make everyone's life much simpler?
Thanks for the confirmation. Seems strange and confusing that they'd put that up on their X5R page if they have no actual licensing or other affiliation with the codec.
Can any of you owners / operators confirm if this is true? If so, what flavors of ProRes are available? It's one of the only reasons I've held off on the X5R purchase.
