I have owned an Alexa Mini since April of this year. Previously I have shot with the Amira. What I am wondering, is whether the image produced by the Alexa Mini, recorded in Pro Res, is completely identical to other Alexas. Or is there some subtle difference in image processing. It is to my eye, with default settings, quite sharp, with more high freaquency image detail being recorded. What I perceive as the typical "smoothness" of the classic Alexa look seems a bit crunchier in the Mini. I have reduced sharpness and detail settings to -2 and -1 respectively. Is the Mini image, recorded in Pro Res, side by side identical to the Alexa SXT, with the "image improvements" described for that camera as having its roots in Alexa 65 development? I believe the DR may be better in my camera than the older versions of Alexa but have not tested that. Would a raw recording be truly identical, if it skips the image processing happening in the Mini?
