Well if I was ever going to take a RAW video, capturing the sky of the LA Fires was going to be it. Here's something for you all to ponder regarding file size. I captured a 30 second video of the sky (red sun behind smoke clouds) at 8K RAW...11.75GB. So that would be roughly 23GB per minute of footage (or about 43 minutes of footage for a 1TB drive).

You likely won't be able to discern a difference either because of the YouTube compression, but looking at the master output files on a 4K monitor, going frame by frame, I could not detect one iota of difference, which is impressive considering the HEVC file is 6.6X smaller than the AVC file.
Shot it in RAW with white balance set to Cloudy (which matched in the EVF and rear display what my eye saw in the sky), and then applied default Canon LUT to it which again matched what I saw in the sky.
Thanks for doing this Carlo and posting the results. Your'e right, I couldn't see any appreciable difference.
So what is the take here? Is it that we shouldn't bother mucking about with RAW shooting, but just go straight to HEVC or AVC recording?
Thanks,
Rudy
