I think good olpf makes the look better than just soft, just like leica lenses, soft gel like but high res.

nowadays I rig my cameras with specific lenses, like one cam one lens, sort of like fix lens cam. it takes time to figure out the cam and the lens combo. if the cam and the lens are integrated, the whole rig can be much smaller than interchangeable lens mount.

I hope that the camera companies can come up with a m43/43 sensor fixed lens action cam. this way it will solve most of the low light issue.

this is significantly better than go pro 12.

it is good to know ace pro 8k has good low light. I will keep an eye on it. thanks for your knowledge. technology has developed to a degree that much previous thinking is not intuitively right.

I think for events, go pro 12 5k is pretty good for daylight shooting. I tried several times on some events. truly pocket size, fast moving, everything is fine. if wanting to go 8k, I think insta360 or other action cams can do. the real problem for these small sensor action cams is the low light performance. I tried once and never wanted to do anything with them after the evening. I think a full frame 4k camera is needed for night. 8k ff is good for reframing, which sometimes is important for events, but the low light may suffer comparing to 4k ff.

I forgot that you do events for a living. never mind.

you don't want 120p for slow motion?

probably when gh8 is 8k, its 2x mode will be 4k, it is 2/3 4k. very interesting.

from another thread Another little gem form Filippo Chiesa. Reading the comments: Quote Excellent work. Congratulations. Given the absence of camera movement, I ask you why you decided to use the light and handy GH5s despite having the EVA1, which would have at least benefited from a native iso of 2500. His reply: Quote Thank you Giancarmine! I didn't go above 800 ISO in this video. I own the VariCam LT which even has a dual ISO system at 800 ISO and 5000 ISO. The GH5S also has a dual ISO system at 400 ISO and 2500 ISO (almost the same as the EVA1). I didn't use the GH5S for the handling, but because it is a big, small MDP that has a beautiful sensor and has colour science from a higher-ranking camera. They deliberately limited it to 12 stops of DR because, unlike its sister GH5, it would be able to go up to 14 stops of DR. The GH5 was already a beautiful and affordable camera; with the GH5S they have outdone themselves (and I am not referring to ISO). I am happy because, in so many situations, I will be able to use the GH5S alongside my VariCam (as a B camera) without the worry of the usual compromises. seems gh5s is the best? if don't mind the gh7' af, which one has the best video iq, gh5, gh5ii,gh5s,gh6,gh7?

"FHD 60p mode in 2x digital crop" interesting. can you explain more about this mode? is this 1080p 60p, and you have 2x digital zoom? this mode supposes to be 2/3 sensor size, 224 mm2 / 4 = 58.5 mm2. why is this different from etc 2x?

now om-1/ii can do 120fps.

red is famous for high frame rate, high resolution. om-1 mk ii can do 120 fps for 200 frames, this is 8 seconds 120 fps 6k uncompressed 12 bit raw. om-1 can 120 fps for 100 frames, this is about 4 seconds of 120 fps 6k uncompressed 12 bit raw. image quality of om-1 /ii should be stunning. for music tv, commercial, etc, 120 fps 6k slow motion is well enough. when I say 4 seconds of om-1, it is 4 seconds of play back time in 24 fps.

I think your peak camera lies in taking videos in the most original mode. when video or movie was invented more than 100 years ago, movie cameras were motorized or manual operated to have 16 frames per second. They were motorized photo cameras taking each frame like a photo and taking 16 frames per second. Now, some cameras can do that. Like OM-1 can 120 fps for 100 frames, GH6/GH7 can do 60 fps for 200 frames, S5 2x 30 fps 200 frames, Z6 iii 20 fps for 1000 frames. These are true lossless raw, either 12 bit or 14 bit. They are the highest quality one can get even in a cinema video camera. Although 3-5 seconds, this is enough for many applications. For long events or meeting, nobody cares much about peak image quality. This is why I am eyeing OM-1 deals, as it can do this peak mode, also 10-bit FHD all-I 160 mbps up to 30 fps. With these two modes, plus the legendary ibis, I can keep the whole rig very small, yet reaching the level of Alexa Red Sony cinema cameras.

pannysvhs/sanve4er, fuck you. never mention me with this scammer Ebrahim Saalawi. if you are really a decent man, stop this by-topic and focus on gh7.

pannysvhs/sanveer, why should I prove myself to you? you are a big narcissist. fucking pussy.

pannysvhs/sanveer, are you nice people? I don't see anything here from your behavior. you mother fucker.

if you pannysvhs attack me personally, either use this alias, or the sanveer alias, you sacrifice much more than me. I make videos for my own YouTube channel. I don't need to please producers or directors or agency managers. I am based in North America, not in Europe. this forum is not my local community. I come here to know the latest hybrids, which is the forte of this forum. I can express whatever I think is right on video making here. it does not affect my real life at all. but you are different. this forum is your local community. some of the members may know you in person professionally. if you give an impression of attacking other members personally because they are not in accordance with your ideas on video making, you are in big trouble in your real life. if I am a producer or a director based in europe, I am not going to hire a dp who is going to bad mouth me and spread rumors about me if I can not please him professionally. you are losing real life job opportunities due to your bad behavior here on this online forum. sorry, pannysvhs/sanveer, you have more to lose to have a war against me. if you don't believe what I say, you can go on your personal attack on me. I will counteract your unprofessional behavior accordingly. you will be back burned. lol.

this guy uses pennysvhs to show his professionalism, and uses sanveer for personal attack. great separation. you'd better to use a third one to echo the sanveer, instead of using this pennysvhs one, as now this pennysvhs one is contaminated by this sanveer. people will doubt your professionalism starting from now.

is this pennysvhs another alias of sanveer? you two always show up at the same time, attacking me as this Egyptian scammer Dr. Saadawi. are you the same person behind the screen? I seriously think so.

dr. saadawi likes Panasonic, his alias may have panny in it. lol.

you started a topic before trying to say that I am this Egypt scammer Ebrahim Saadawi. when you say more you are accumulating more evidences against you in the future. you dumb ass.

do you know that I can initiate a libel law suit against you? you stupid fool. lol.

sensor technology is actually very difficult to improve. most camera companies are doing quick fixes. if customers like fast readout, longer battery life, less heat, then go from ccd to cmos, but then the color and global shutter are lost. if customers like low light, then make thin color array layer, then color is even worse. if customers want high resolution, then give them high res, but the pixel size is so small, a lot of issues occur. if customers want high dr, no problem, but you have to sacrifice mid tones, etc. finally, you realize that it is not an improvement, it is a look, with pros and cons associated with it.

if it is a sunny day and you shoot at the noon, you can put up a canopy on top of those two beauties. Or drag those two ladies to some shade. There are ways to handle high dr.
