IronFilm Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Really?? Whoa... wonder if I from NZ could somehow order it at that price?? Anyway.... back on topic, the G7 is announced now. Camera seems to be region locked (PAL/NTSC) and also has hard set 30min limit in all regions.Well.... double gosh darn for me :-/ Guess that rules it out as a viable option for me :-( That is two strikes against it already! Not going to consider it as an A cam at all (well, maybe after it drops down to $400ish on sale in a year or two then I might maybe pick it up as an extra C cam for multi camera wedding shoots)Guess I will have to stump up the extra cash for a GH4 or NX1. Or I can just wait and see what the Sony A6100 brings. I'm in no rush :-) Can wait, got a BMPCC and others after all :-DEdit: just noticed they've dropped NFC too from the G7, doesn't exist.

IronFilm Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Extremely ironic they've got a video about "Family without borders" yet the camera can't switch between PAL and NTSC!!! Arrrgghhh Cinegain and Wulf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagnje Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 looks nice, nothing spectacular, but I didn`t see any aliasing. I guess this is the next 550d I`ll buy it for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ebrahim Saadawi Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Excrptional quality. This is the sub 1000$ 4K the market's been waiting for (along with nx500 but at almost s16 size and unsupported lens mount), this baby wwill take a SB, All canon lenses with IS, 4K, for 800$. Lovely look too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagnje Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 also it seem that only avchd is region restricted, MP4 is pal/ntsc switchable, from what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 looks nice, nothing spectacular, but I didn`t see any aliasing. I guess this is the next 550d I`ll buy it for sure.I hope it is!! If not another person in the world needs to buy a Canon Rebel ever again for filmmaking then I'll be a happy man! :-P People's obsession (on less well informed filmmaking forums) with using a new Canon Rebel for filmmaking needs to die.

johnnymossville Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 could be time to retire my GH2 and add this to my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 also it seem that only avchd is region restricted, MP4 is pal/ntsc switchable, from what they say.Where did you read that? Would be fantastic if so. But reading B&H specs shows nowhere the option for PAL recording:http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1148513-REG/panasonic_dmc_g7hk_lumix_dmc_g7_mirrorless_micro.html/prm/alsVwDtl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntblowz Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Might get one when the price drop. Sony cam (except A7s) tend to overheat before their record limit so that a big no no for me.30 min limit will have to wait for the actual product I guess? the only info I see about record limit is the 30min limit for 4k photo mode Is it me or the low light seems better than GH4 from that promo video? (they actually shoot at night unlike previous promo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 If they offer a body only for $699 or less, this will probably be my next camera. I would love to be able to score this and the FZ1000 for less than $1200. IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 pretty identical crop in 4k as the gh4? sorry if that's a silly question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 "Good" news, G7's HD has no limit. But the 4K does have a 30 minute limit. Not PAL/NTSC switchable. But live HDMI does work. https://twitter.com/cpgphotos/status/600334936298672128https://twitter.com/cpgphotos/status/600334852538392576 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Cryer Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I was literally about to pull the trigger on a 2nd GH4 for a B cam for interviews and weddings. I'm now very tempted to wait for this instead, seems perfect B cam for a GH4. Anyone know (going off the G6) if you can modify the picture profiles, so change the saturation, contrast etc... of neutral/portrait and the like.Does it have an actual release date yet?

jagnje Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 pretty much any camera nowadays has picture profiled, but the g7 also has the cine D, the same as GH4....I`m sold, just have to wait to get them to EU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liork Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 In several places, its been said that the G7 sensor is similar to the one in GF7 model and not the GH4.I wonder what changes in quality we may see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Yeah, I am really temtpted by this camera. I have never owned a 4/3rds camera though, so my questions are all lens based. I know they have a 2X crop factor, but does that 2X hold true for 4K? I use all vintage glass, on an aps-c, the crop factor puts my lenses in decent ranges, with 4/3rds, it changes everything a little, but I guess you get even less edge distortion. Of course speedboosters are always an option. Ugh. Decisions, decisions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liork Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 In 4K mode, crop factor becomes x2.49, not 2.0. mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntblowz Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 2.3X in 4K mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
