Germy1979 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Neumann throws up a Hacked GH2 against the Raw 5D3. In terms of resolution, look at this.. Everything else on the other hand...well... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=SFBc7i1Q_0w#! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmMan Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Did you see the bird video? Very clean image. Cheers. https://vimeo.com/66387497 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Cunningham Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I'm not quite sure the bird video really shows off the ML hack, besides the crop mode. It makes good on the failed promise of ETC mode on the GH2. The ML "ETC" looks exceptionally useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted May 18, 2013 Administrators Share Posted May 18, 2013 Great test Neumann, any Vimeo version of this with downloadable file? YouTube compression muddies the water a bit. To me the 5D Mark III looks much better than the GH2 even on YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avasarin Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 For me the impressive thing is that GH2 can be compared to a 5DmkIII RAW video. Of course you'll have more color space and room in post, but c'mon, GH2 is always rocking! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done well, hacked GH2 footage cuts well and plays well in pro shoot-outs when you have RED and other un-compressed cameras shooting the same subjects. It doesn't beat those cameras but in blind "taste tests" it fairs better on average than any other DSLR on the market, including the 5D before the raw hack. Regardless of the "EOS" in the name of this site, that fact has been the prevailing mantra of this site and others for pretty much as long as the GH2 has existed (thanks to the GH1). One could make a very compelling case for that fact perhaps buying, directly or indirectly, the 5D that Andrew is now enjoying so much more than he has in the past. That didn't suddenly change, or get suddenly negated with this ML business. It means the 5D moved up from its previously less-than-stellar showing, less-than-GH2 showing, to compete directly with the higher end cameras available on their own terms rather than just trying to fair well against them in controlled circumstances. There's no more reason to hope the illusion isn't shattered by some uncontrolled picture event that reveals the ugly truth. Why wasn't all, or any, of the "revolutionary" ML-empowered 5D test footage churned out the last couple weeks anywhere close to what James Miller did in "Genesis"? Just one shot as immediately communicative that something new is going on inside that box in their hand? Until the ML-generation is producing on an upward climb towards that level you're going to continue to see GH2 footage that fairs well against ML-5D online. avasarin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people will never do anything but shoot random stuff close to home. Which is cool... But i agree it's just for attention. The onslaught of versus videos will be astronomical now with raw 5D's. Cats have never Looked this good, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
