drillthrall Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Andrew, thanks for the heads-up. Sony has been very busy as of late. I'm a very amateur GH-4 user with a couple of lenses for birds and insects. What would, in your opinion, a GH-5 have to have to at least meet these new Sony specs and the $1000 price tag. It's going to be a challenge for Pana but I don't want to bale on them until I at least see what the GH-5 has. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil A Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 If it overheats it is totally useless for event/weddings unless you rig it up to external recorder, might as well get a7rii/a7sii with IBIS (Just got myself A7RII and Zeiss 24-70mm combo for $2800, minus the lens so A7RII is around $2100 which is the same price as A6300 + Ninja Assassin) Where? Here the cheapest offer I found for A7r II is like 3500$ equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a challenge for Pana but I don't want to bale on them until I at least see what the GH-5 has. Thoughts?4K 60fps and/or 10bit internal, and that alone would "kill" the A6300 in the eyes of many people in favor of the GH5!! (of course there would still be many people who would hold out and prefer the A6300 of course, everything is all very subjective in the end as to which is more important than another factor or not) I somehow doubt the GH5 will however... but could be the GH6 would! A bit like the GH2 => GH3 => GH4 progression.I feel the GH2 to GH3 was more like a half step forward, but GH3 to GH4 was a GIANT LEAP!So GH4 => GH5 might just might be a consolidation and refinement stage, before they make another GIANT LEAP to the GH6?

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted February 3, 2016 Super Members Share Posted February 3, 2016 You think the D750 will do better? The D750 has a wider DR than the earlier A-models in my experience and they also claimed +13 stops if Im not misstaken.So I would be very surprised if it did better than the D750. And pretty surprised if it was equal.But if it is 14 usable, beating both the d750, bmcc and Red.. Then my hat is of.Still not a camera for me though. Atleast not a B-cam.

tyger11 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Ah no ibis. This camera doesn't have everything. But to be honest, it will never replace a need for a gimbal. I highly recommend anyone to get one. Words like Ibis or rolling shutter will never be a concern after that.You still want IBIS even when using a gimbal. I've seen test videos showing the difference, and it's noticeable. You even want IBIS and lens IS going with a gimbal - that is even noticeably better than IBIS-only or lens iS-only.

(organic sensor at last for the GH6?)Idk, I think the gh5 might be big. I assume it will include VLog and I wouldn't be surprised to see 4K 60p or some other wild, dream spec that nobody expected... Maybe even 1080p Raw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a "me too" product at Photokina it's dead on arrival. We have IBIS, 4K, 120p, etc ... if they want to get going they'll need stuff like internal 10bit 422 4k or RAW, 240fps, quite better high ISO... I see the micro43 as a problem until the new organic sensors come in a few yeats. Cinegain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By far and by far. As Panasonic would be *FIRST* to give us affordable 4K slow motion :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
