First of all, Panasonic's AF-C works best with contrasty subjects, and the woman wearing the white coat at the beginning of the video, and Kai's nutty hat are easy pickings for the camera's AF system. When I did my own tests of the GH4 with the Zhiyun Crane, when circling the subject, the three year-old camera had no problem maintaining focus, even with a longer focal length, if the subject had so much as a spot of sunshine in her hair. it also worked well if the subject was wearing a black and white blouse, jewelry or sunglasses. Then, we're talking about wide angle in these shots, so the focus won't be so critical. Lastly, this video has been edited (it's 2-1/2 minutes long), and I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but just like reviews we are always complaining about that bury the bad stuff in a couple sentences among heaps of praise, these results can hardly be called conclusive. God, you're right, I didn't even realised about the hat, but the bit at the beginning with the hands and the heads wasn't that bad either. I'm sure it will be better, maybe not at dual pixel level. One thing I did see is no focus hunting back and forth, so there's still hope. Does anybody know if the AF gets affected by the V-Log stuff? With the possibility of adding a LUT maybe we can apply a contrasty one and help it a little bit, or at least in manual focus mode.

Why not just get the Ultra and not worry about the XL covering the whole sensor? Seems to work fine... I´m in love with the 50mm Art lens. Awesome!

True. That last shot looks like made on a steadicam... But it's handheld, folks! WOW What a piece of technology! A consumer camera, WTH...

SuperSet Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 The image coming out of that 12-60mm lens is a lot nicer than I thought. And it's a very useful focal range too. Orangenz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonpais Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 53 minutes ago, sina_html said: Well, if there is any vignetting at all, it's certainly not bothersome. And if you're like me, and already own an XL and are contemplating getting the GH5 (something which, more and more, I'm thinking not), I understand the interest in these tests. For those who don't already own the XL, I would definitely caution against pre-ordering one and hoping MB will come out with a firmware update that solves all these issues. And for those investing in the micro four thirds system for the first time, I would strongly urge you to check out some of the great fast native lenses available before investing in a focal reducer.

webrunner5 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 New test from Newsshooter on the speed booster on GH5 updated today. http://www.newsshooter.com/2017/02/06/panasonic-gh5-more-tests-with-the-metabones-speedbooster-xl-0-64x-and-sigma-18-35mm-f1-8/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sina_html Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 It just occurred to me, with the ability to shoot 60 fps in 4K, would be too crazy to think about HDR video in 4k 30p? something like RED's HDRx. Cas1 and zetty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely that will not happen, but being hopeful is not a bad thing. Panasonic Japan, expects delay due to receiving large number of pre orders...

jonpais Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 And if you're willing to wait just a bit longer, say September, Panasonic will be releasing the G100, essentially the same as the GH5, only in a more compact rangefinder body, with 4K 60, no 4K crop, USB-C, Dual IS, the same resolution EVF and LCD, but only 1 SD card slot, no anamorphic mode, no in-body 4:2:2 10-bit or V-log, and without vector scopes or waveform monitor for only $1,300. ?

Santiago de la Rosa Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 After seeing all videos, I think DR is the same as GH4. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not easy to judge DR just by looking videos. But we can guess the DR of the GH5 will turn arround at 12 stops max. Because M4/3 sensor.
