That was outstanding, greak work!

Can I be your friend? :P

I bought my 550D for video only, the pictures part for me is an add-on. Would you exchange your g6 for the a6000? Why not/yes?

What would you say are the a6000's problems? For starters its not as sharp as the Panasonics IMHO.

Can you change the aperture while shooting? I know the Nikons have issues like these.

I live in Italy

Me too :) You can the find the g6 + 14-42 for a little less.

That's honestly the first time I've ever heard anyone complain about Panasonic's prices (GH4=4K pro video camera for $1600!!!)! This is a filmmaking forum after all. Panasonic are the only company making true hybrid cameras. Sony coming a close second ...

 

I was talking about the G7X only! Do you think it's OK that (based on amazon prices) the GX7 costs €840 body only with a great 1080p60 video but on a m43 sensor where pictures will be undoubtedly worse than the say the nikon d5200 or sony a6000 that have medium to decent video but great pictures quality on APC-S sensor but for €300 less? I don't think I'm spoiled, I think that considering the smaller sensor and notsogood pictures quality the Panasonics should cost the same since you gain from a point and lose from another. Don't you think?

The G6 is more balanced.

@Kangaroo where do you live?

Anyway I would honestly buy the G6 today but as I said, I would totally be a problem the lack widelenses for less $ for me :(

I'm definitely into Panasonic since the GH1 hack but I was never courageous enough to buy one. For instance if I wanted to achieve the same look of 10-11mm (APS-C) on the m43 how much would I need to spend?

Anyway Panasonic should really lower their prices, they ask too much from a "compact" m43 sensor camera that can't compete to APS-C sensors for pictures.

Why do you think the gx7 is better than the g6?

Is the low light performance bad?

a6000 has fairly poor low light performance. Especially in comparison to the D5300.

 

I agree 600D would be a ridiculous "upgrade" from the 5D2. 

Worse than the Canons?

I'm downloading the files, does it resolve more lines in 24p?

I don't think Canon would release anything beyond the capabilities of the new Sony A7s. But this doesn't matter because we have the Sony A7s :)

 

I'm sure there will be even better options in the near future too. Just keep your eyes peeled!

Even getting a decent 1080p from Canon would be miracle after 6 years of the same crap.

welcome to the forum , I use the G6 and it is a superb camera plus once you have glass for micro 4/3 when the time comes to get a 4K G4 it will all carry over to a G4 with no issues

 

ps its not difficult to get wide shots on micro 4/3 just get the superb panasonic 14mm lens and the stunning olympus 17mm  both are cheap and readily available on ebay

 

low light on the g6 works great use f1.4 lens and it kicks ass

 

Fujinon 24mm f1,4

sigma 30mm f1.4

canon 50mm f1.4

carl zeiss 50mm f1.4

 

Tokina ATX PRO 28-70mm f2.6 on a Lens Turbo speedbooster makes it f1.6 and great in low light

 

 

Yeah it's not difficult to get wide look on m43, you just have to spend a lot of money!

As for me I see no point in going with the 600D, it's the same old shit over and over. 

I would get the a6000 for the big sensor and better video quality than the old Canon. The lenses selection is limited though.

The G6 is the best for video quality but being drawn to wide lenses and low light scenes I see the m43 can't compete, unless again you have thousands of euros to spend on lenses.

The final shot looks very sharp.

Still looks pretty DSLR-y to me ... with lots of aliasing.

now I see ,there are many canon lens owners like you,hoping that canon can do something,but those line-skipping Dslrs really wasting all your good quality lens ,moreover if you think about no power-zoom , quite-AF motor and smooth focusing ring ,ect

There are endless demands, dude

A non-Canon 1080p in 2014 is not really a high demand, but i understand that would possibly destroy the C300 sales since you would expect similar image details with a newer sensor.

I really don't understand why there is a lot of people still moaning about canon not releasing new cameras. There are so many other brands that did just that and are great, why do people always use canon cameras as a comparison. Or why are people always asking " Oh why canon, why? Why aren't you listening to me?". 

 

Get over it.

My biggest problem is lenses.

With Canon I can get a 10-18mm  for €250 ,  50mm 1.8m for €80. Now say how much would it cost to get the same FOV and light on m43 sensor? Or on a Sony-E mount? The sony version of the 50mm 1.8 costs €250 alone and I don't know about the quality, secondly the 10-18mm variant costs €800! So I would need to pay like 10 times for what I have now but with a good 1080p. Thus a good quality 1080p with cheap DSRL form Canon would fix my problems. Am I the only one?

The next Canon move would be Photokina right?

If Canon won't do wonders (even if it's only 1080p) with the 7D Mk2 (they only new camera coming up I'm aware of) then it'll be over for Canon. It would prove they care only about photographers.

I still can't notice all that sharpness...

Canon is soooo soft!

I would be ok with a cheap 1080p EF-S video camera if they really don't wanna mix up great pics + great video, like the Panasonic "sub cameras" that maintain the amazing resolution of the GH3.

If Panasonic is doing 4k for $800 Canon is still doing a fake 720p for the same. Their FULL HD not even come close to 720p resolution. 5Dmk3 not included.

Canon has been hobbling their cameras since the 5d came out for 6 years until the 5d mk3 arrived and magic lantern unleashed the potential. Will they ever stop releasing the Rebel line products with the same video quality?

Honestly checking the specs of the C300 and what it can (can't) record I honestly don't see anything good coming. How can they release a possible 7D mark2 with sharp 1080p60 (which is the bare minimum by the way considering what the GH4 does!) if the C300 can't even do it? it could destroy that product line. 

The same approach would apply to Sony with the A7S that could also destroy their high end video camera, though that product is a reality (unless 1080p footage actually sucks)

A6000 would be a good bet, too, very affordable and good quality.

Doesn't look as sharp as the Panasonic's 1080p to me.

What happened to this? http://www.eoshd.com/content/12242/canon-say-need-respond-calls-dslr-video-quality-increase

BTW if Canon really wanted to fix things they could easily take the same old sensor but put a 2014 image processor on it with good down-sampling and there you go a clean and real 1080p video with a S35 sensor that shoots great pics as well.
