Wouldn´t guess, people sayin that about the GH cameras. People have always been exited about the image quality. Some like Panasonic the best, some Sony, a lot of them like Canon, at least for the colors:). Different tastes. But there are hundred times more people liking GHs and G7,8,85 for what they are, low price cams with some of the best image quality of its range. Too bad, Panasonic has lost love for HD quality in their GX85 and possibly G85 cameras. Here are two examples what a GH3 was and still is capable of. For the Mekka music video, I don´t dig the prologue with the icecream shop, but the rest looking awesome.

I like the output:)

Hmm, gonna check that one out. Seems like no one has other favorites than us and is already satisfied with Tony Zhou and co:) Cinematography Database is also interesting or masterclass:

Hallo, I think there are a lot of great people out there producing fun and engaging content. There are the usual suspects of course, but then also some of the more interesting kind. So who are your favorite people where you can stop by and have a great and relaxing or engaging tech or cinephile watch? I start with Tony Zhou, Sareesh Sudhakaran from wolfcrow and this kid:)

Hallo, F stop was 2.8, all shots at the same Fstop. My sample might be faulty in the regard of the lightness in the middle of the frame. It´s a fun and beautiful lens for s35 crop video. Also got a Tamron 20-40 waiting for its EF to Fmount adapter to put on my EF china booster:) And waiting for a Tokina 25-50 F4 and a Sigma 35 70 2.8-4 to arrive! I´m becoming a sucker for these small zooms. And I bought a beautiful Kiron 28 f2.0 in Contax mount, my 28mm F2.0 Zeiss substitute

Exellent!:)

Samples from my Tokina 24-48mm 2.8. I think it has a little optical flaw, like there was a light leak in the middle of the lens. This only shows, when contrast is hightened in post. Otherwise, beautiful lens, for which I would estimate a TStop of around 3.3-3.8 across the zoom range. Measured it against an Oly XZ10 with its fixed lens starting at f1.8. With focal reducer the Tokina becomes another stop brighter fortunately. Screenshots from gx80 in 1080p 24p with IBIS + electronic stabi. GX80 in HD seems not up to the nice HD resolution of the older m43 Lumix cams like GH2,3,4 and G6. Maybe it is caused by the additional electronic stabilization.

Oh, I thought you also bought a FS700 plus Odyssey and was looking forward to hear your thoughts about that combo. So, looking forward to your GH5 footage then, if its as awesome as your c100 and GH4 Vlog footage. Maybe you´re in the market for a real Varicam camera too, that brandnew beautiful Varicam mini for 4999USD

Well, thought the lower 12 megapixel count and some clever processing would make it more sensitive than an G6 or GH4 sensor, maybe not the newer ones in the G7 and such. Thus making it about 1stop more sensitive than a GH4, being that, iso 1600 and f5.6 looking the same as iso 800 and F4 on mft. The sensor and processing in the c100 and c300 line have always been punching above its weight, being two stops more sensitive than the s35 sensors from the FS700 and FS7.

Right! Just since the 1:1 HD crop in ETC mode has been around since GH2, why not make it stepless? Liking the possiblity of a 1.4 crop in 4k for the GH5, making it an awesome tool for super16 glass. Guess a good estimate of loss in light sensitivity for this s16 mode could be exactly the factor of 1.4. That would mean IS0 350 in crop looking like ISO 500 in full mft sensor coverage or 1400 like 2500 on full mft sensor. So ISO 1600 in 1.4 crop should still look good, just like Black Magic Pocket but with much higher resolution.

Hey Mike, looking great! So EOS Standard is just Canons out of the box ENG style profile? Regarding High ISO, would you say it can compete with G6 or later GH4 or G7, say ISO 1600 at F5.6 equalling ISO 800 and F4 for Micro Four Thirds, or even 3200 iso and f5.6 eq ISO 800 and F2.8 for mft?

Hallo @Andrew Reid! I just checked this video of yours, shot with a FS100 and a SLR Magic Anamorphot. The colors look awesome! Can you recall any bit of how you achieved that, choice of profile, special tricks with curves? Some of the best 8bit color on vimeo! Oh, new site looking cool, very inviting! cheers

Couldnt it have been called preview? Amazing AF is already nice for a headline. But gonna watch it anyhow. Thanks, Max! Edit: Well, just watched it. Great preview or review. AF is impressive in video and photo!

Seems like you´re having a love for HFR just like Peter Jackson! Imagine real and clean 2K without artefacts in up to 240fps in 10bit, now wouldnt that be plenty for a DSLM?

Hey Phil, thank you for you answer and examples. I feel the color palette of three of his pieces I checked from Pono Grace is very muted, but with a lack of tonality. There are great examples of pastellic, less saturated color palettes in cinema. This A7s grading seem to try to mimic that, also so color falseness and odd videoish tones can be hidden, like mimicing the great looks of film, but in Sony8bitColor instead of Fujicolor or Kodakcolor:) Ricardo Fasoli and Tu Nguyen have some nice color moments, but still there is something to that Sony color akwardness, but great examples nonetheless and great examples of wedding cinematography! It is looking pretty in its own right! But with a GH5 it would have had even better color, by a mile, I think. Bet these guys will jump on the Panny waggon soon:) It will be, I am sure. I am astonished by the color I am getting out of my GX85 in natural ooc, linear rec that is. Not Arri, it will have its own look(s) and signature(s). Some of the best consumer 8bit color I have seen was graded material from the GH line. Ungraded material often looks so lala. Canon always had great color ooc, but that we know already, as it has become a part of DSLR folklore already:) You´re right, GH5 won´t hold a candle to Canon Raw colorwise just like an apple will not to a melon size wise, but oh what a delicious apple it still is in its own right. Also colorwise!

This looks awesome! The best testimony to a great camera! 8bit, f5 at iso 3200, no log - and then looking that great! You are kidding! Great achievement on your side and on the GH5 side. Best thing Panasonic could do, to work with you! Congrats to this beautiful moody piece. 1.25- just wow!

yeah, at 24mm, with focal reducer. Lovin the Tokina, very cinematic lens, though would say Tstop is about up to 3/4 stops less sensitive than Fstop. Will compare it to my Tamron 20 to 40 2.7-3.5 soon, once I bought an Nikon to EF adapter for my Ef focal reducer. Also bought the FD mount Tokina 25-50 F4 for 10bucks. Should arrive soon. Good night for now:)

shoot, after quiete a bit of testing the ibis with 14-45mm, tokina 24-40, 28mm FD I almost forgot to recognize how very nice the ooc color is and how awesome it is to grade. Was a fan of the G6 and how with a few tricks I got the grading I liked. But GX80 is so easy to grade and gives me what I´d call the graded Panasonic color sience. Best bang for the buck image quality wise, if A7S night owl is not necessary. For what you see is what you get approach, this camera is also beautiful for senseful low light stuff like evening in living rooms, cosy restaurant lights and stuff. oh, ibis is great for steady shots or handheld camera, but in my opinion not close in making a flycam or gimbal obsolete, not close unfortunately. But color has something I would color creaminess, gradations, oil paint, beautiful! HD is looking fine, 50p plenty aliasing. For the perfect HD alone I would love to get a GH5. And i will in a few months, because of this camera, the pretty, nifty GX85!

Expecting the color science we got to know from A7s and A6300 Gee, FS700 graded SLOG with internal 28mbit 8bit codec, if fed with enough light, looks by miles better than what I´ve seen from consumer range SLOGs.

Wow, on the web I´ve only seen the best GH5 stuff looking by far better than the best stuff I´ve seen from the A6300/6500. I don´t mean to rant. Just curious to see one or two examples illustrating your preference. I typed with a talented wedding shooter who said A6500 color was indeed so much better than the older Sony A7s. So would be cool, if you would like to share one or two examples. Thanks and cheers:)

Yeah, Aaron, thats what I was saying! That would be super awesome, combined with the full! dynamic range VLOG, not just the GH5 Log. Please MFT mount too! I think you could sell your FS700 and Odyssey then Do you still own that combo? Have you been enjoying it?

Oh, cool, you´re using Rocky Mountain Movie Converter. I also like that tool. Now it seems even more legit, since you are using it! Please forgive my little joke, I really appreciate and like your contributions and insights to video pros and nerds and dreamers!! cheers

exellent answer by fuzzy already! but, how did you get that 670 deal on johnlewis? to me it shows 799

Hey Kidz, thanks for sharing your vids. Great examples of different colorsciences and your great practical approaches throughout your camera owning history. All put into really cool use to film something cool. Great stuff, visually and color styles wise! So, overexposing then with Portait profile? Btw, what are your preferred focal lengths? In S35 terms, speedboosterd m43 that is, I really enjoyed 24mm and 28mm, loving the 40mm as well, due to my tokina 24-40 I guess:) Pretty much all of my early stuff I shot with my 28mm FD. This is a repost, so sorry to all of you, who´ve seen it before, Panny G6, natural all -2 and graded with 28mm at f8. And variable shutter:)

MFT mount, that awesome Varicam (LT) sensor and full Vari Log, great intra and interframe codecs, though locked to 10bit without RAW or 12 bit option, internal ND- the awesomest possible successor to the AF100. Maybe some additional innovative features such as stepless cropping options, lossless digizoom for HD and 2K and so on and that beautiful industrial design style of the LT and GH5. For 4999.99, my dream camera dream come true Edit: but then shitty display and micro hdmi and bad preamps
