Would it be possible to do one or the other of these quick tests as there is no hard evidence anywhere that I can find about GH6 1080 quality. 1. Shoot the same scene on a tripod comparing GH6 4k with GH6 1080 and upload an extracted still from each OR 2. Shoot the same scene on a tripod comparing GH6 1080 with GH5 1080 and upload an extracted still from each I am very close to buying a GH6 but if the 1080 is not good then I don't want it. I'd love to see the evidence with my own eyes before I make the purchase. I'll be eternally grateful if someone could take 15 minutes out of their day to do this. I'll do it later today (UK time). It's really the first day I've had with any semblance of time sanity for quite a while. Thankfully I've been getting some exciting but demanding jobs all in a row lately. kye and hyalinejim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries if you're too busy or just want to relax. I'm happy enough based on the review I referenced earlier that the 1080 is good. I plan on picking one up on Tuesday and will do a comparison with the GH5 in 4K and HD then as I'm sure @kye and @mercer will be interested in the results PannySVHS and kye 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PannySVHS Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Tasty treat that it will be! @hyalinejim I am also very interested if it gives us the possibilty to film in Super16 crop (1.4x additional crop) and in 2x Digizoom as it was possible on the Gh5. Hopefully Panny will get the streaking problem solved and gives us Prores in all the other videomodes soon! Battery life would be another thing of great interest. Maybe i should have watched the review above as well. 🙂 kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmmbeats Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Righto. Slightly embarrassed as I shot these almost a month ago now, and I'm sure they would have been a bit more useful then, but anyway... All shot with DR Boost turned off (I almost always have it turned on now). I used a bit of VND to regulate exposure. Focus is on the post box. These are 'as shot', resolved with Nicest 709 LUT, which is a Panasonic LUT for V Log. I usually tame the saturation a bit! [These have loaded in the reverse order I intended. You might want to view them from the bottom up!] kye and hyalinejim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmmbeats Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 There is a possibility that I missed focus on the 1080 Pixel / Pixel shot. It's hard to tell as the quality of that setting is pretty mushy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battery life is in line with most other cameras of its type. You need about 4 or 5 batteries to get through a day's shoot I'm finding. I'm using mainly the old GH5 batteries, which offer good basic functionality. Juank and PannySVHS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably will only need the basic functions so there's little point in wasting money on new batteries if my old ones will do the trick. 1 hour ago, Mmmbeats said: Righto Thanks for these, will pixel peep later!

The detail on the tree looks pretty good though. Presumably the 1080 pixel-pixel will be identical to the center 50% crop of the 4K pixel-pixel, which looks all right. It's worth considering that the loss in sharpness must be attributable to some degree to the optics and a usable result might be garnered from a razor sharp lens. I think if I really needed a shot of something very far away and didn't have a long enough lens then I would use 1080 pixel-pixel.

Yes, I'm finding the time of use similar (though I haven't timed it or anything). The old batteries seem fine really. hyalinejim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyalinejim Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Hmmm... looks like data rate for 422 1080p 25fps is quite low at 123mbps. That could be a really nice alternative to All-I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PannySVHS Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 It looks garish as garish can be:) @Mmmbeats The GH6 marketing team has a sense of unpredicted and unconventional humour. Here you camera fetishists, eat your Arri Alexa and take this for a change. Embrace the beauty of the ugly, awaken by the hands of a true Prores lover but image neglector. Matt Frazer worked so hard for the standing of the GH4 and GH5. How did this one slip through? hyalinejim and webrunner5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newfoundmass Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I think I get what they were going for (showing how flexible the footage is in post) but what a strange, extreme way of showing it. I guess they just thought subtly wouldn't get the point across? I felt like the greens were going to leap off the screen and slap me across the face! webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
