I've just discovered that the new Sony PDW-F800 XDcam is the first of the XDcam range to allow for CineAlta User Gamma Curves - which enables the Light Illusion pre-set Gamma Curves to be used.
I've been asked for curves for XDcam cameras a lot, so this is rather good news, although it would be nice if the full XDcam range could use curves. Got to start somewhere I guess...
I obviously have a vested interest in these curves, but 'can I load your curves into my XDcam' is probably the most common question I get asked.
If anyone has questions I'm always happy to answer as best as I can.

You might be interested to hear that Marc Windon - DoP, Australia (http://www.marcwindon.com) has been one of the first PWD-f800 users to work with the LI Gamma Curves. This was his initial response:
"Have only been running tests at this stage, but have a 3 day shoot this week. The dynamic range is incredible!"
