I'm buying one. 2k, global shutter, raw, cine ergonomics. xlr, 512gb ssd, progressive leadership, ticks a lot of boxes for me. Only hassle is the sensor size means I'd need super wide lenses. People think the bmpc speedbooster may work on it, they are shipping the first batch this week so hopefully we will find out soon.

 

Can't wait :)

Keep us updated if you get a chance to use the speedbooster on it. Thanks!

Anyone know if the M43 version of the Metabones speedbooster will work on m43 mount of the Digital Bolex?

Have you had a chance to shoot with the Panny 20mm f1.7 on th gh3 or pocket cam?

I would go with 2 FS700s. Have money left over for 2 speed boosters and few different options of cannon glass.

Why Vivid over Natural or Standard?

From shooting and testing alot of different color profile settings I personally like the skin tones vivid gives me. I'm not into shooting super flat and having to turn up staturation in post all the time so I find vivid gives me the correct saturation levels out of the camera most of the time at -2.

Those are great, I am also really impressed with what you're managing to do with such a little camera (it is a beast though).

 

What custom photo style do you use?

I shot it in vivid -5 everything except for sat which was -2.

30sec spot for TV. Glass used were OM 12mm f2, Panny 20mm f1.7, and  Nikkor 55mm f1.2. Really loving GH3 and I still get surprized seeing some of the footage that comes from this camera. Locally most people are using FS700s for TV and I'm happy that such a little camera holds it's own against footage shot on the FS700.

It's my understanding that you'll still need the HXR-IFR5 interface for 4k raw right? And you'll have to pay for every codec or rent per day including sony codecs? If they are giving you the option to rent a codec for a day shoot for a production house this can't be cheap.

I can highly recommend the Schneider with 15mm rod support system

Simply the best sharpest modern anamorphic you can buy.

these lenses cost over $5000 new

L series sharpness

How are flares on this?

Dope!

Yep Leica R.  I have Canon and Zeiss too.  Prefer the Leica.   

Appreciate the reply FilmMan.

Hi HurtinMinorKey,

I've been using Leica lenses.

I'm assuming Leica Rs. How do you rate these compared to modern glass, canon L lenses, Nikon etc. Saving up for a FS700 or 1DC and I'm not invested in Canon or Nikon glass and I honestly hate the look of Canon glass on Sony FS100/FS700.

Peaking on such a little screen is is pointless honestly, punching is alot more useful to me. Can we please get the screen info to stay on at all times, eff peaking just let me have my info on all the time!

I've tried the GH3 with Blackmagic HyperDeck Shuttle 2.

 

Unfortunately there's no quality gain from the HDMI 1080i output. Internal codec is very good and the HDMI output is interlaced before it reaches the external recorder. I could successfully deinterlace it with JES but final result was a bit softer than internal recording. It would be interesting to try the 1080p output, but you'd need a recorder that can do 1080/60p.

 

It doesn't do 24p or 25p native 1080p via HDMI. The 24/25p is PsF (interlaced wrapper).

 

Andrew so it is possible to get a clean 1080 60p image out of the GH3? Any idea reasonable recorders that can capture 1080 60p you can recommend?

For the price grab a GH2, throw a eoshd 88mbit hack on it. The 720p slo mo is great, resolution is on par with canon 1080p when upressed.

No 1080p 60fps. Such a a shame or would switch in a heart beat.

It's great times to be a film maker. I really hope to see support for higher frame rates in the future. But for S35 sensor with 12bit raw the price point is really in the money for us budget film makers.

Any word on high frame rate options?

It's pretty evident that the edges on the pole are clearly sharper on the 5d mkII. But what ever the 5D mkIII is doing it is doing a great job and reducing noise.
