The whole point of shooting Log is to force the hard-to-capture low and high ranges closer into the camera's sweet spot so that you can preserve/recover extreme low and extreme high details. It has little to do with making ANYTHING better except that. And few cameras out there now can properly take advantage of this latitude - most that offer Log shooting don't really have a plan, they just do math. Arri Alexa family and Sony's higher end F55/F65 can do it well. Lower tier stuff should stick to RAW if they can or linear space.
The bottom line is that the camera/codec has to be of sufficient quality in order for any real benefit from shooting Log can be realized in post.

Got a shooter friend with a Fs7, and we toyed around.
Using various LUT's, experimented with a color card and Resolve automated correction based on that card.We never had an image as good as properly white balanced / decent exposed material.We have had this before, and I still stand by it:The Emperor's New Cloths.Just for fun, let your shooters do the same. Same shot, one normal, one LogC, see if you can get it to match, and tell me where LogC is indeed better.(Hint, it's NOT in the colors…)On 26 Jun 2017, at 23:52, RRF Avid rrfavid@hotsprocketfilms.com [Avid-L2] <Avid-L2@yahoogroups.com> wrote:Do I use the Source LUT as a starting point and then apply CC?Or just bring it in with no LUT, and use CC to make everything right?Depends. Generally we use LUTs to translate the color for creative editorial, review copies of dailies, etc. For grading, we strip our the LUTs and grade from scratch.- RichOn Jun 26, 2017, at 2:45 PM, Curtis Nichols curtisn@pcsproductions.com [Avid-L2] <Avid-L2@yahoogroups.com> wrote:Does Symphony CC provide access to the full range that Slog3 is intended to provide?Or just bring it in with no LUT, and use CC to make everything right?Do I use the Source LUT as a starting point and then apply CC?Since the productions boys got a Sony FS7, I've been trying to figure out the best way to use the files in MC/Symphony. They are very excited to give me XAVC-Slog3.If you have links for me to go read, please post them, but my main questions are about getting the video to look "right". I'm told that they can't do white balance anymore because that's disabled in the mode they shoot in. So when I have Source Settings using the default Sony LUT, so I'm having to make a white balance adjustment to everything anyway.
