A large chunk of them like to think that their camera is the very best: anything more expensive is stupid overkill and anything equal or less is garbage. This price bracket seems to be where the most fragile egos exist. Can i give 2 hearts to this comment please? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurtlandPhoto Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 From LM Mullen in GH5/s Facebook group. I spy a little shutter release button for stills and two record buttons. What is that flash-looking thing on the right?? Correction: photo originally from Videotex Systems on Twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that the GH5s is bad, but it’s definitely for a different user. Imo very subjective and little bit poetically bombastic exaggerating...

Anaconda_ Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Does anyone have a photo of a GH5 with that lens for a handy size comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, but I would question the subjectivity of the statement? ProRes HQ with no noise reduction or sharpness will beat the best codec on the GH5/s every day of the week. When you add Raw to the mix, the objectivity becomes clear. With that being said, the GH5/s is are amazing tools but different beasts.

That would be interesting, gate-crashing the hybrid party by way of a RAW abd ProRes shooting beast (in a DSLR/ Mirrorless Form-factor).

From that photo, I think the Pocketii looks pretty small... the lens still looks fairly large on the camera. And what’s with the 2 record buttons?

I'd say - first paragraph is theory, second one is usage of metaphorical poetry Reality, imo, is that final result in capable/accurate hands is indistinctly similar in blind test.

Anaconda_ Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 BM looks a little wider, but a lot shorter then. Since it doesn't have the VF bump. Makes sense, I would have thought it has a wider screen due to being a video focused camera. Photo cams tend to have a more squared LCD MurtlandPhoto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Pocket is thicker than the GH5, as a whole, so it gives the appearance that it’s larger? I also think the line near the air vents looks deeper than cosmetic. And even though I don’t think it’s an interchangeable sensor, I do wonder if there is something going on there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, for me it seems also logical question - weather is possible to make even better sharpening algorithm in cameras that use them (obviously because of consumer part of aimed market)?
