Sony a7 / 10-18mm, BMPCC / Olympus 17mm, and Panasonic GM1 / 14-45mm

For those of you who want to look at beautiful footage--don't look!!! :)  For those, like me, who will watch even the worst camera tests, then there may be something here for you.  I adore the BMPCC, but the GM1 is very close, almost perfect, when you don't require subtle color and wide DR.  I have the Sony 10-18mm lens on the a7 (which it isn't made for).

 

 

Casual shooting with the Sony a7 and 10-18mm as long shot. Max is shooting with a Panasonic GM1 and an old Panasonic 14-45 lens with external OIS button (useful for BMPCC). Frank is shooting with a BMPCC and Olympus 17mm/1.8 lens (ProRes HQ). I meant to use the sound from the BMPCC but we still need to work on levels. So I'm using the A7's camera audio track.

As you can see, the BMPCC is so sharp, that the 17mm is quite jittery. Beautiful lens though!

Don't jump to hard conclusions from this video. I hardly spent any time on the footage. The a7 probably wasn't set up well and the clip probably needed more sharpening. The a7 and a6000 shoot very nice video. I'll put that stuff on Vimeo later.

I edited this in Sony Vegas Pro 12. I'm new to the multi-camera feature. Again, haven't had a lot of time. Was fun. Love all three cameras.
