@paulo I tend to shoot slightly underexposed and when its an overcast day. The screenshot I've attached is the results of that.

Use smooth, + all -2. Cinema picture style shows less DR (crushed blacks+blown highs)

@ Frame driftwood 'space' AC3 bitrate is 192000. Does it not span at the default rate? I doubt Nick would test at 448000.

@gittzy Good Job!!!

I have a small question: which is better in terms of quality, the T8 Space or Flowmotion v2 ?

I'd have to agree, revitdazio. Even compared to Moon T8, I think T7 is better.

Moon T8 - simply because files are smaller and I can use it without any errors on decent class10 non-95mb cards (toshiba and sandisk 30mb). As for the quality - all Moons are great, I see absolutely no difference between t7 or t8.

I fail to see a difference between T7 and T8, actually I can't figure out which is which.

The street footage is a very tough call, I admit. I was looking at 400% magnification in the shadows and even then wasn't positive about the difference.

But the two shots of the flower came though noticeably different at normal viewing on a calibrated 50" plasma. One was very clearly superior to my eye. Not so for you?

Moon T8 truly is marvellous, colourful and fluid, dare I say one of the most stable Driftwood patches that I've had the chance to try so far. In-cam replay is great too (Sandisk 95Mb/s 32GB U1).

EXCEPT in FH mode, where in-cam never seem possible unless I turn off and on again / or shoot another small file... FSH replays has always replayed well so far, much more so than FH replays! Wouldn't it be possible to decrease modify moon T8 somehow, while keeping everything else in balance?

Even if you use the same patch and you only slightly change the camera position, maybe a few centimeters closer to the subject or farther away, or a little bit to the left or right, it is enough to give you false impressions. The light falls a little bit different, the shadows form at a slightly different angle, the focus area is slightly off compared to the previous shoot, it can be a very tricky business. And from what I saw in those flower shoots, the camera angle was significantly different. Since in the street shoots you could not tell the difference, and since in the flower shoots the camera was at a clearly different angle, it's a 50% - 50% chance to be either a difference between T7 and T8 or just a bad shoot. If there really are significant differences between T7 and T8, they should be present in any shoots, including in the street ones, and that is clearly not the case here. Most likely the flower shoots are misleading.

I've downloaded again those comparison footage and took a better look at the flower shoots. It is clear that in one flower shoot the image was slightly out of focus compared to the other one, and that gives the false impression of T8 not being as good as T7 (the first two frames). This becomes clearly apparent in the next flower comparison shoot (frames 3 and 4), because the flower match in sharpness this time on both shoots, and the same goes for the street footage. Look at the bricks on the distant wall, if the T8 was so bad in comparison to T7 as shown in the first two frames, then in the street footage those bricks could not have had the same sharpness, or they clearly do.

It is not an accurate test by any means because the camera angle, distance, focus and exposure varies.

Here are the frames:

Maybe you're right, anyway, I've installed T7, don't want to take any chances. Thank you for your help.
