This video compares the N-RAW 8K and 6K raw video noise performance between the Nikon Z6 III and Z8. I also dive deeper in the Z6 III video flicker issue I covered in my last video, including a new post-processing workaround
Their teaser discloses some specs:
AF 35mm F1.4
APS-C

I guess most mounts will be supported (E/X/Z/L/RF)
The Swedish company Lit System just launched the Lit Duo 1 Light Meter on Kickstarter (Click here). And it already collected over half a million dollars! Check out their description page as it has a ton of features pro’s absolutely need!
This is how it works:
E8M spotted another new Nikon camera registered in China on July 12. IN total Nikon did register three cameras in the past 2 months. They have the following codes:
It’s still unclear which model we can expect, all we know is that it usually takes 3-4 months after registration for these cameras to be announced.
Topaz just released the new Video AI 5.2 version (Click here to see th product page). Press text:
This release includes the new Rhea Enhancement model, Pro seat management, Frame Interpolation for After Effects, Alpha layer support, and many UI and backend fixes.
Rhea represents a combination of Proteus and Iris. The model is intended to be more accurate in preserving fine details across a wider range of subjects, while also handling text in a less destructive way.
This model and Rhea internally processes inputs at 4x scale and then downscales to your selected output resolution.
We’re very excited to see your results with Rhea, here are some example frames from this model:
Today we are also launching Frame Interpolation in Adobe After Effects. This plugin addition includes access to all Frame Interpolation models for up to 16x slow motion conversion.
For more information on using the After Effects Frame Interpolation plugin, see this post in the Video AI Plug-ins forum section. 62
Video AI can now copy alpha layers from inputs and merge them back with AI model output videos. Alpha layer copying is supported in the following codecs:
Pro seat management
After a pre-launch period with several Pro teams around the world, Video AI Pro will be officially launching later this week. This new license tier offers seat management, commercial usage rights, and multi-GPU support for teams working with Video AI.
As part of this transition in licensing, we will be discontinuing the previous implementation of multi-GPU rendering for the standard license. Our team found that less than 2% of users made use of the multi-GPU setting, and further development will be focused on multi-GPU optimization for Pro teams.
If you are affected by this change and would like to discuss further options, please contact enterprise@topazlabs.com
Bug fixes & other improvements:
setparams filter instead of -colorspace, ... flags to explicitly override the input metadata to ensure only the metadata tags are updated without changing the video data itself.
Venus Optics just announced this new Laowa Zoom Shift APS-C lens. Preorders will open soon on their website and on BHphoto.
