​Thank you!

Thank you!

Did you find it in Europe?

Thank you very much guys! You all are super kind to share your experiences!

Dear all, I need an external monitor, I saw some review about Aputure VS-2 and it seems ok: http://fenchel-janisch.com/monitor-review-aputure-v-screen-2 http://tomantosfilms.com/6730/aputure-7-nich-monitor/ ​ Do you think also Aputure VS-1 could be ok for normal work? http://www.aputure.com/V-Screen-VS-1/ Any experience with both? Thank ​you very much for your advices!

If you expose to the right (ETTR: http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/7922-ettr-the-ultimate-exposure-technique/ ) GH4 gives back really good images, even at 1600 ISO. I also like the grain of the GH4, it is very filmlike. For the profile I would use Natural (with contrast, saturation and sharpness all the way down) or Cinelike D with just the saturation down, because it is very flat. I would not mess with master pedestal or shadows/highlight, you can see the problems here: http://noamkroll.com/the-best-gh4-settings-for-video-why-you-shouldnt-be-tweaking-things-too-much/ My 2 cents

​In normal situations you can raise the ISO up to 800 or 1600 and with a cheap led light you can do what you want without noise. Using perfectly clean 25.600 ISO and no lights on Sony give you back no noise, but bad colors and a dull look. Cinema is often "dark" and you can barely see something. If you don't need extreme wide angle night shots with natural light you should have no problem with modern DSLR or DSLM. (my opinion, of course)

​As long as you use expose to the right (or at least you don't underxpose) GH4 is not noisy: it's very usable in low light situations.

Honestly they match perfectly and I can only suppose something, but just because you asked. Otherwise I would not notice that you used 2 cameras

If you have any further advice for a good wide angle (under 20mm) I'm happy

​You're right. After few days testing it for personal shoots I just love it and I'm ok with 4 batteries (very cheap, so I'll buy 2 more, in order to shoot outside for a whole day). The only reaI big drawback - for me, as an ex-CanonDSLR shooter and now GH4 shooter - is the lack of a dedicate button for shutter angle and ISO. I don't like to use ND filter (all the filter I had, included an expensive variable Tiffen) made some unexpected "green ghost" (flare) in the image in some rare situation, but always in some work, not during testing... so I prefer to not use ND. And when I shoot out I need a quick way to change shutter speed seeing how it affect the image: with the GH4 it's super simple, with the Pocket I have to go inside the menu, change, exit and repeat. But - of course - the final images are so good that it does not matter. It's a little magic camera that I like a lot!

​Exactly! I loved Canon cameras and I started to shoot with them! I still feel that the ergonomics is great in 70D... But we all can see that they try to treat us like a bunch of sucker... and it's a shame! Furthermore it should be embarrassing for them to see what their camera can do with Magic Lantern and they just stick their heads in the sand... This XC10 at 2500 $ is just offensive.

​My friend has a modified DeLorean and went in early 1996 He also told me that next summer we will listen to some brand new songs: Cosmic Girl from Jamiroquai, Stranger in Moscow from Michael Jackson, Fastlove from George Michael... I look forward to listen them :D

Probably Canon ignores that internet exists and some people use it, finding informations about prices, specs etc... A friend of a friend that has a friend that work for them sent me this super secret picture of a new model that will be on the market in June: they developed a new camera that uses REAL reel, in order to achieve a real "raw" feel. The first model will have fixed lens (20x OPTICAL!!! wow!!!), EVF, some buttons and... no, it will be not cheap, but enthusiast have to spend if they are serious about video making! (I hope it will be possible install ML on it!)

​This is the reason why I love my G6: so small, so easy to use and so "cinematic". It's not perfect, but I love it. I think that sometimes not only the final quality, but also the feeling with the instrument is important. Of course Canon could try to be a little more competitive in this days

​

​Exactly Astro! The more the time pass, the more I do love technical limitations, because they force me to be more creative! The video you posted is incredible, but of course someone will find it not "cinematic" because was shot on GH4 I love "IDA" the great B&W movie that was out some months ago: it was filmed in 4/3 with an Alexa I think, lots of grain, no movements... and it's more then cinematic! It's an AWESOME movie! One of the best I saw in the last months! We have all the technical possibilities to shoot with quality: we "just" need to be creative. And you can't wait better camera for that

​Yes, in this two days I tested the Pocket I started to questioning my normal workflow and I started to look at this little camera like a "teacher": I have to plan more before shooting and to be more pragmatic in the exact moment I have to shoot. That's good, because limitations always push me to better results and to be more creative. Of course the Pocket is something I have to get used to, but I'll start using for some personal projects, then I'll try to use it for the works I normally use GH4. Thank you very much Alex (and all you guys!)

It's my same conclusion: I would have a GH4 with the 1080p of Blackmagic, maybe with at least 60p

​Thank you Escapist! If you have other kind of lenses (like Canon FD, Zeiss M42 etc...) I'm curious if it's simple to match them

​That's the point, Enny! Great!! Thank you!

​Thank you for the tip!

​We are talking about a sub-1500 € camera that does what just some years ago would do a 25.000$ camera. If you find it just "ok" what do you think about the (also amazing for their price) Canon EOS? Everything is subjective, especially if we talk about art, cameras, guitars, microphones, preamps, tubes-vs-solid-state etc... but "ok" for me is the mighty EOS 550 or the iPhone. The GH4 is (in my opinion) something more then ok, at least for what you can do with (slow motion, 4K etc...)

​WOW! Vielen Dank, Axel! Or, as we say in Tuscany: GRAZIE MILLE! Really really appreciated!

​Not often after I see what is best for the scene. If I shoot in natural light I can bet the K, but if I'm wrong I have to enter again in the menu. Nothing super bad, just annoying. With GH4 I can see the differences while changing ISO, shutter angles and WB. Of course is something acceptable for the great images it gives back
