Yes, Andy, I remember your post about your movie "Pandora" and your super cool screenshots! That post was awesome with great lens recommendations, as we know it from you:), and cool BTS! You wanna tease us with some teaser footage? BTW, I had a question for you in the lens thread two days ago, if you wanna check cheers and thanks! from my experience gx80 has weaker HD than G6, less resolution and more moire. G7 I cannot tell from my own experience, as it was not my test video. And I haven´t tested my newly bought G7 yet. Asking you guys. How is the HD on the G7? The youtube video I posted, seems to show obvious improvements. Inazuma, didnt you post a video of the GX7 in the yard of spooky soul asylum place? That was a cool video. That GX7 for sure had some serious mojo going. From the videos on vimeo to me it seems it has the best HD of all Lumix interchangeable cameras. Of course it should sooner break apart under certain conditions than GH4 footage with the 100/200mbit codec. So maybe was a GX7 in the Alexa body for the Revenant

hey guys, since I just I´ve just got a G7 this weekend for the nice ergos, screen, EVF and for checking out the Cine profiles, I was wondering about its HD resolution. This test suggests it´s better than G6, which would be pretty awesome. My GX80 seems of lower HD resolution than my G6 to me. Pretty nice test this guy did. So in HD G7 seems to have better resolution than G6, which, to my own superficial testing, has better resolution than GX80 again. Any findings on that from you guys´ side?

hallo, 50p on GX80 could mean half the vertical lines in resolution compared to the 24p mode. So 1080 24p would be much better. Shouldnt be different from the G6.

Good point regarding Pana 12-60, doesnt sound like a moving making tool of choice, I mean for fictional short movie pieces. But still, the promise of an all in one light zoom solution sounds promising, with stabilization and much lighter than a 28-70 full frame glass. So my question to @andy lee: Andy, can you recommend or say a few nice things about the Leica Elmarit 14 to 50mm with OIS F2.8-3.5, in Four Thirds mount, not mft? Looks kinda tempting, though it is not a small kit lens anymore. cheers

I think GX80 has come a far way color wise. To me first Lumix with pleasing color ooc. Here is a nice example of color and camerawork with this little gem. Other than the fragile monitor it has a beautiful solid feel. I don´t know, maybe someone can chim in and tell me, if stabilization is better with new firmware. Beautiful little cam so far. Kinda torn if I gonna keep it though because to me the real weakness is the monitor, kinda fragile and pretty small, evf is bad but for filming i´m using monitor anyway. Here some work I must say showing the GX mojo pretty well. Not my work though:)

Pretty looking cage! Maybe I could get one for my G70. And then get a G80 later on. I already got a G6 and a GX80. Some Lumix GAS going on Bought the G70 because of the nice ergos, though tactility of GX80 is outstanding, but just almost too small for my hands and the GX80 cage from Smallrig is the only pretty one so far but costs 70 USD. So maybe ordering the G80 one could be a nice thing to do. Thanks for the find!

Hallo @andy lee! Because off you I got a Panasonic G6 and GX80 now. Latter one has beautiful tactile feel, though it´s a about 0.5 - 1inch to small in height and width for my hands. G6 has very nice HD, better than GX80 I would state. And bought a G70 last week- to me the perfect ergos for a photo/video hypbrid, but not the same beautiful tactile feel of the GX80. So because off you I got three Lumix cameras now. I think you "owe" me now some great pleasure of seeing more screenshots of you film "Pandora". Even better some teaser footage! Everyone of us wants to see you Nikon 28-70-200 lenses in action with the cool Lumix G7/70 cameras! Of course you don´t owe me anything. It would be the other way around cheers Hey Jonpais! Beautiful colors. Fuji comes first but around 50 sec I thought G85 looked just as good as Fuji! 1.27, beautiful! But you´re right, Fuji mojo seems hard to beat.

That is funny, fuzzy. Normal. Right? Makes uber sense and fun to stick around here and even more keep contributing due to cool people ideas and vibes in this place. Thanks to Andrew who built this community and spirit and opportunity. So, Fuzzy, you´re spot on. And because of guys like you this forum is spot on. A great place to exchange and find inspiration. Thank you, Andrew!

Hallo Zak, Martin shot and shoots nice videos on the Lumix range of cameras I think. For this one he used CineLike V 0/-5/-5/-5/0, Master Pedestal +10, Luminance Level 0-255 (copy and paste from his description) As experience has shown, one should not mess with master pedestal. Also, h264 Inter Frame is not a beautiful thing on even surfaces, additionally very low light didnt help the 150mbit codec neither. By the way I really liked your CineV and VLog footage, even if it was a GH4

Hallo, I wouldnt worry about this camera to be too videoish. Important and valid point of yours, of course. We will see in a few days. For now, good night sleep If you say LS300, well, for 2000 USD/EUR and with internal stabi and a great viewfinder and 10bit and higher bitrate, I´d buy that too in a heartbeat. But that would be the LS500 then

Hallo, to me it seems being the first video to show the big advantage of 10 bit vs 8bit on a Panasonic Hybrid! 8 bit is severly broken after the grade, whereas 10bit remains the gradation. Have not been able to detect this obvious difference on the GH4 with internal vs external recording. But as they say, always good to do ones own tests than waiting for others to do the hard testing work:) Also very nice news from the slashcam testchart: exellent resolution in HD mode up to 60fps, C300 level, better than its older Panasonic silbings. I must say, color science on the GX80 has greatly improved, first time I would accept footage ooc without grading. So color should be great too on GH5. Hey, I played it in 720p on a 27inch display. Even like that it look exellent. So GH5 definately is a player in the resolution department. Colors looked adequate not great though. Thanks for posting this video. It shows some problems in the dark areas. But even on FS700 underexposing SLOG when recording to an Atomos shows chunky pixelation as well, whereas my G6 on linear space did not. Still the FS700 is the vastly superior imaging machine! Isn´t it.

Friendly forum member and contributor @hoodlum posted the DXO Mark score of the EM1 II sensor in the GH5 footage thread. A sports/noise score of 1300ISO, similar to the Nikon D500. Would love to believe that! https://www.dxomark.com/Reviews/Olympus-OM-D-E-M1-Mark-II-sensor-review-New-standard What does that mean for the GH5 in sensor quality and for real life video application? We will see. Luke Neumanns examples look really promising already.

You kidding, same sports noise score like the Nikon D500, impressive, impossible. Well, maybe I shouldnt believe DXOs sensor measuring with 100% but only with 90% of belief Looks promising regarding the GH5 sensor. Combined with Panasonics clever processing this is gonna give us indeed some nice video quality, even moreso in 10bit AVC Intra. Thanks a lot, Luke, for providing such great contributions, knowledge, footage and friendliness to this forum. Last week the DOP of Laconia, a well received BBC TV mini (not the German voiced over talking heads edit!!:) gave us the honour and pleasure to stop by at our school. One of the things he told us how much of a pain shooting on 35mm was and how modern cameras allow you to get away with so much. He also said, that a lot of what we remember regarding the 35mm look is due to its scanning process and digital projection and distribution. With the GH5, just don´t go higher than 1250 or 1600 and you will be in wonderland:)

I think it already is and was in the correct section due to its interesting discussion it lead to. Just my opinion. I think, being in the main section is much more grace to this piece and to its discussion. It gave me the opportunity to discover Eds work. His vimeo channel is full of resources and viewing pleasure for the lover of the short film form. Same for instance with Andy Lees post about his work with the Panasonic G7 leading to an insightful discussion on lenses and setup when showing examples of his feature Pandora. By the way @andy lee, when are you going to satisfy our hunger for some teaser footage, in the graceful main section, of course?

To my eyes, my G6 HD appears to have more resolution than my GX85s HD, with less aliasing and artificial sharpness on the same settings. Started to dialing sharpness down from -2 to -5. Also, from one experience, I got the impression that electronic native lenses might involve some automatic processing to the image. One note on this, in the GH5 thread someone stated about some native lenses that they produce an artificial outline around oof shapes, sharp edges like cut out pieces, so to say. The native lens I shot with back then was the 14-45mm. It was a two cam setup of my and my collegues G6, one mounted to the 14-45, the other one with a boosted 28mm FD. Both lenses were very hard to match in post, even though they were on the same settings. So, maybe some native lenses are key to even more artificial sharpening and rendering because of additional processing.

Hey Amook, great looking quality! Did you do the shots with the internal codec or external recording with the F3, if external, with HDMI or SDI out? Thinking about that camera for a while. cheers

Hey! Rather great manners you got, I would say!:) AF is unchanged. Believe me, even in photo mode it is not really a joy to use. 1 to 2 seconds of focussing time. The 14mm 2.5 is quick in photomode and used ones should be possible to be bought for 120usd. cheers

Hey Merce! Happy New Year! Heck, It´s too late to be in bed early:) But had to answer this quickly. Heck nono, that lens does not well with AF neither in video nor in photo Beautiful image quality, stellar, one of the very best mft lenses out there. But mechanically it is lacking and in AF even more, AF in video much, much more. Have been thinking about selling that lens for year now. But image quality in a compact pocket size is keeping from doing so. I paired it with my new GX80 for doing some filming during a trip. Always shaky footage when trying to focus manually:) By the way, I think GX80 is best coupled with a light rig for filming, baseplate, rods and handles are enough, very basic. Good night for now:) cheers Hey. I recommend a low price 0.71 (standard) focal reducer from China for around 100 USD/EU. I got a FD version, because the Canon 28mm, and 50mm 1.4 are very cheap and of very good quality. The 28mm can be shot wide open at 2.8, coupled with the 50mm at 2.8 you got a great combo with light sensitivty for F2.0 when speedboosted. My favorite lens is the speedboosted 28mm from Canon. Gives you the same framing as the 20mm, mercer was talking about. cheers

Yes, baby! Cannot wait to see your footage! Great, that not everbody is healed from gas:) So footage should be the same as gx85 then? I did a 2 camera setup of gx85 and g6 two weeks ago. Cams matched pretty well.

Hey Merce! Hope you had a great holiday season! I would like you to shoot footage from your screenshots above. Love the two framings! Great footage you´re getting with that little cam. M43esque as cinegain has put it:) Great work! cheers

@John Matthews Hey John, I like the Procolor plus Filmconvert version the best. So did you shoot that in standard or natural? Here is an example filmed by deezid I had to post, regarding beautiful Panny skin tones and rich overall colors. 8bit Vlog, lookin great! It also has a 4K version on ytube for inspection. Really finding it to be one of the best Panny color examples.

@deezid, Hey, colors and footage looking fantastic! Gonna repost that in the GX85 thread, since it´s spinning dizzy about Panasonic color:). Your achieved look is just too beautiful! @Cary Knoop Does that mean you would pull the blacks all the way down to 0? So screenshot is before your recommended adjustments, right? cheers

Hey guys, thanks for replying. Thanks for the link. Well, research has been done with your support. Shooting turned out to be pretty fun. CLOG is a joy to grade. It´s a student film with a student camera package, so had to deal with native Canon lens focus throw. But workable, TV logic didnt connect right, so the camera screen had to do it. DOP did all the manual focussing, AF one time for a situation where contiunous focus was necessary. Worked like a charm. Thanks! cheers

Hey Michael, got my GX85 last week. Still trying out stuff. Not as much as I want too due to lack of time at the moment. What are your exact settings? On my G6 I usally shot all on -2 but color on 0 on Natural. Nice gradeable image with adequate WB and amount of light. Very strong in the midtones. On GX85 this setting still seems contrasty. Looking good on ISO 1250, 2500 in low light is already too much. 1250 has broken gradation in the lower parts of the shadows in very low light. Cannot say, if it is an advance compared to the G6 other than the UDH. Stabilization is beautiful, just put the right focal length into the settings, if speedboosted take that into account as well. Oh, don´t track and pan at the same time. Not sure if additional electronic stabilization comes with additional artefacts. cheers

Yeah, the ergos are nice. A lot of profile option for that 35mbps codec though:) It´s not my camera. Friends and me got it from school to shoot with. It sure doesnt like purple gels though:) Lumix G6 was more forgiving. Maybe saturation was too high. By the way, another digital oddity would be the Canon Powerhot Elph 300 (Ixus 220 HS). It even has stabilization and is hackable with chdk hack. no info about manual video though.
