RAW video sounds like a filmmaker’s dream. It’s like RAW files for photographers – the full image data captured by the sensor, ready to be processed and interpreted in any way you like. Forget 8-bit and 10-bit, forget log profiles, 4:2:2 and 4:2:0. Forget all the complexities of regular video settings. If you can shoot RAW video, none of that matters.

Some improvements have been slow, quiet and evolutionary. Others have brought a clear step forward in sensor performance. The latest innovation is ‘stacked sensors’, which have brought a big increase in continuous shooting and video performance. So what is a stacked sensor and how does it work?

What is a LUT? It's like an instant conversion profile that can be used to correct colors and tones but can also be used for creative effectsIf you're wondering what is a LUT, you're not alone – the phrase has only entered the mainstream imaging lexicon fairly recently, but it has certainly spread like wildfire.
