As a fellow fp enjoyer, I will point out that I believe the fp's CDNG support avoids patent issues by only supporting output to USB drive. RAW video to internal media is where Nikon ran into trouble. It's also a bit of a bummer how terrible the fp's h264 encoder is, but the CDNG makes up for it, I suppose.

Not true. I record to SD card these days, the only downside is no 4K (presumably due to speed limitations), but for 1080p 60 fps it works just fine.

You must get a top spec 64GB (larger capacities are too slow, smaller capacities have not enough space to record anything). Sigma publishes a list of known compatible SD cards.

If you suffer from the shadow flicker issue, let me know. I couldn’t truly enjoy fp until I worked around that.

Oh wow, you’re absolutely right! I guess I should read my manuals more carefully. :) I’ll have to give that a shot next time.
