But let’s play along anyway. First, there’s the cost - are you prepared to shell out over $8,000.00 for a cinema camera? And if you choose either the Panasonic or the Canon, will your computer be powerful enough to edit RAW or 10-bit 400Mbps, the highest quality codecs available on those cameras? Those files will also require considerably more storage space than the XAV S files of the Sony, so you might need to upgrade your external drives as well. So that’s an additional expense. I don’t know which countries you’ll be travelling to, but toting around an expensive cinema camera in the areas you’re talking about might attract unwanted attention. There’s really no need here to go into all the advantages and disadvantages of each of the systems, as I’m sure you’re already aware of them. But the first thing you’ll want to do to improve the quality of your videos is to start exerting manual control over exposure and white balance rather than relying on Auto; use an external microphone for better audio; pay close attention to light and composition; and bring along some small battery-powered LED lights for interior shots, and a small reflector for when you have no control over the light. Jonpais, thanks for your suggestions. I always made documentaries since I was a boy. Now I'd like to renew everything of my old item: videocamera, PC, software, etc. I need to improve the image quality of my Sony AX100. For that reason I was thinking about GH5. But my concern is not the GH5 quality but about replacing my AX100 videocamera with a camera. I love GH5 but I'm afrai it is not the right item for me. Click on my signature please, so you can see what I make with my camera. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still an incredible camera after all these years. Precisely why I'm selling my GH5. Great image, but my BMPCC is still far ahead. Especially in the rendering of highlights.

Vesku Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I dont know if this is posted before in these 135 pages but here is very good GH5 field review compared to A7S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stab Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 So the crop factor in 16:9 UHD mode will be around 1.84x? I am using a GH5 with the Speed Booster XL at the moment i.c.w. the Sigma 18-35. At 18mm there is a very slight vignetting going on in the corners, but because I always add black bars in post this isn't a problem for me. But now with another 10% increase in FOV, the lens might be unusable at 18-20mm. Maybe it will get too soft in the corners too. Of course there is always the option to zoom in and use the lens only from 20-35mm. But of course the lens becomes also shorter at the tele end. I doubt it will be the perfect lens for this camera and speed booster still. Maybe I should swap the XL for the Ultra version then. I suppose nobody has tested the GH5s with this combo yet?

BjornT Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Shot this on the Leica 12-60 in HLG profile (ALL-I, 1080, 50FPS) with a Gorilla Pod. Gotta love that weather sealing! hyalinejim and Rinad Amir 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRenaissanceMan Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 There's definitely a difference in crop factor when shooting 16:9 and 17:9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 well, if so, where's the catch then? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRenaissanceMan Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 11 hours ago, Emanuel said: well, if so, where's the catch then? :-) The catch is that the sensor is oversized, and expands the readable area horizontally in those aspect ratios instead of just cropping more vertically. This lessens the crop factor in those formats compared to the GH5 sensor. http://m43photo.blogspot.com/2012/10/multi-aspect-sensor.html?m=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 < del /> Now... I'm usually not game for anything new if there's not a little incentive (freebie, discount), but I'm sorta really excited about the GH5S. Gotta list that GH5 sooner than later I think.

TARS Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Can anybody explain to me why the sky appears to be rapidly pulsing between white and light blue when it's blown out? I'm shooting 4k 23.97p 10 bit, if it makes a difference. I've noticed it a couple of times, typiaclly in high contrast environments. For instance, if I'm in a jungle, the sky that peeks through the leaves will shimmer a bit. I think it might be the autofocus hunting or something, but I still have to do some tests when I have some time. If anyone is familiar with this and could tell me what it is, that would be awesome. EDIT - I should also mention, I'm shooting in full manual other than autofocus. ISO typically locked at 400, and shutter at 1/50th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonim Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I was playing around whole day in a children's world with Voigtlander 17.5mm and get permission to upload this quick result of testing bare GH5.
