andy lee Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I have been shooting GH2 with a Driftwood Quantum hack using Nostalgic picture profile I am about to buy a G6 Does anyone who has used the G6 know which picture profile on the G6 is similar to Nostalgic on the GH2?

andy lee Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 CROP FACTORS. Has anyone else noticed it looks like the G6 has a crop factor of x2 while the GH2 has a x1.86 crop factor - despite both cameras having the same sensor ?? has anyone else spotted this??

andy lee Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 just found this looks like g6 has x2 crop factor http://www.digicamdb.com/compare/panasonic_lumix-dmc-g6-vs-nikon_d3200/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pietz Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 im way to lazy to look for it, but i read at least a couple of times that despite the same sensor it doesnt seem to be multi aspect. so yeah its true. i believe someone pointed that out by looking at the different possible photo resolutions. 16:9 and 4:3 hat the same x-axis definition of pixels.

andy lee Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 very interesting article on Panasonic sensors sizes GH2 , GH3 and G6 are compared have a read of it http://m43photo.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/multi-aspect-sensor.html G6 is x2 crop GH2 is x1.86 crop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Pouyf Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I owned the G6 last week. The peaking works pretty well and the back screen is really wonderfull. BUT !Unfortunately, the codec is not good enough compared to the GH3. The picture is noisy even at low iso like 160... (with the mp4 ANd avchd modes) The amount of definition disapointed me. It's a shame because I think the G6 could be a dslr killer with a good hack. I finally owned a GH3 with cleaner and much sharper video. The evf is really good but I decided to buy an extternal monitor for landscape shootings outdoor in bright light. The G6 is a good camera but suffers by the lack of a good codec. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 My G6 arrived and it is a superb camera , Image is much better than GH2 - no mosquito noise in the blacks and better in lo light the image is very very good - for the price it is a suberb camera - oled evf and new screen are great very sharp 50p for slo mo is great peaking is very useful as is the artificicial hozizon Im only using AVCHD 24p menu is great some nice new additions I highly recomend it Julian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I have done extensive tests with my hacked gh2 (driftwood quantum 9b 150mb/s) and the G6 using the same Carl Zeiss Vario sonnar lens on both and the G6 is much better image wise Panasonic have done a superb job with the G6 - its has a much finer gain structure alot less mosquito noise in the black and dark areas and is just as sharp as the hacked gh2 Its a no brainer the g6 is very very good - just buy one nahua and Julian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amadeus67 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Hello, I am pulling this thread up again, in the hope to get an answer to the last question. Is the GH3 codec really so much better as the codec in the G6? Is it worth the price? I know this is a probably a subjective thing, but I would be really interested in some opinions. The best would be (of course) a statement from someone who owned the two cameras. Thanks in advance. amadeus67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nac Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I have have done enough research and i am convinced the GH3 is better, so much so that i am buying one today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurth Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 ...of course the gh3 video is better ...but the question is....is it twice as good ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Pouyf Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I've herd GH3's codec is superior to G6, but from the looks of it the detail may be better on the G6. No no no ! I swear that G6 is really far from the crisp picture of the GH3. I don't know how to upload samples but don't make the same mistake I done with the G6. It doesn't match the GH3 wich is really far better. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Pouyf Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I have have done enough research and i am convinced the GH3 is better, so much so that i am buying one today. And you're wright ! I've been so disappointed by the G6... :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 I think you are exaggerating quite a bit Le Pouyf. Yeah, the GH3 might be better but the G6 isn't bad at all. It is at least on par with the GH2... maybe you did do something weird/wrong with yours? upload some samples to http://www.wetransfer.com (send to yourself and copy the link here).

kurth Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I agree julian...there's enough samples on vimeo to download to see that the g6 is not too shabby. Of course the gh3 is better...it costs twice as much ! From what I'm seeing the g6 is better than the unhacked gh2 ...and in some cases even better than a mildly hacked gh2. I wish andrew would do a proper review .....andrew ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I have a new G6 and a hacked GH2 and the G6 is better straight out the box - nuff said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulio Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Interesting discussion, thanks to all who uploaded footage. I shoot with a hacked gh2 but I may have to move up to the GH3 next time i have an important shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
