Do you have any GH5s sample footage?

The best cine lenses in the world?

I had problems with my v90 SD card from Angelbird for the GH5. I returned it to them and received a new one in two weeks.

Several times already, but thanks anyhow.

I believe that's $8,500 for the set if I'm not mistaken.

Seems like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning or something.

Sounds reasonable enough. Now let’s get back on topic, shall we?

wow.

Sorry, I’m not a technician. The service technicians can answer that for you.

@Ravion Your camera is new. I would recommend taking it to a service center.

It seems to me those artifacts are only visible to the naked eye when hovering over a single frame and enlarging the image; that they would not be visible when viewed on a normal television; but that the extra color information of Prores HQ is immediately apparent to even the casual observer.

And ‘if you were to build a device with RAW output over HDMI’ is a euphemism for ‘in your wildest dreams’. ? And even if it were possible, it would mean investing an extra $1,500.00 or more in an unwieldy 7” Shogun Inferno + storage and recording in the vastly inferior Prores RAW. ?

But no mention of this being possible on either the GH5 or GH5s, is that correct? It sounds to me from this quote that not only is it extremely unlikely, but that it is not technically feasible.

The low light ability of the GH5s is better, but I would really have to pixel peep to see a difference in DR between the two cameras. Maybe because V-Log Lite caps out at 11.5 stops? Not sure...

Just who exactly confirmed that it's possible? I haven't seen this anywhere...

I hope they come out with the choice of a magnesium alloy body later.

FWIW, that set of three lenses is about as inexpensive as it gets when it comes to new anamorphic primes.

I think you’re confusing rec709 with the film look you hold so dear. There are plenty of so-called grungy looking HDR movies on Netflix. rec709 is a twenty year-old standard for HD televisions that has got nothing whatever to do with the cinematic look. Having more than six stops of dynamic range and greater color space does not instantly transform everything into garish cartoon colors. Chef’s Table is just one example. And making judgements about HDR based solely on your smartphone is little different from determining the image quality of an Arri while viewing it on a 4”’ iPod. You can get a soft, diffused, painterly image in HDR, just as you can get a brittle, mushy image in SDR. I will bet you a plane ticket to Vietnam that if I show you two movies side-by-side on my LG OLED, that you will no longer think the same way. Incidentally, the Pocket 4K shoots HDR, just as the original Pocket does. Finally, with rec709, you are confined to six or seven stops of DR; with HDR, it’s completely up to you how much dynamic range, or contrast, you want to deliver. That’s what all those little curves, wheels and sliders are for.

Why do you say I like a digital look? I realize Resolve isn’t for real pros, but it supports HDR. Arri has given workshops on HDR. Sony, Canon, Panasonic - all cameras will soon support HDR. Sony makes HDR grading monitors costing $35,000 or so. Does all this signal a shift toward a digital look? Is the film look doomed?

Thanks, I suppose that’s as close to a compliment as I can expect.

Like all of your concepts. ? Arri seems to think that once the client has seen the HDR grade, they will dislike the SDR. But hey, what do they know, right?

If it’s got V-log, you can still shoot HDR, so better off finding one without. ?

So if someone doesn’t have talent, they should just stick with the GH5. ?

anonim - out of likes for today. Of course operator skill is the single most important factor. Deezid just posted some great looking footage from the GH5, and I’ve seen others do nice work with it as well. But if @webrunner5 doesn’t care for the GH5, no big deal.

All well and good. Just wanted to chime in that on just a few occasions I accidentally forgot to turn off IBIS when my camera was on a tripod and nothing bad happened.
