Here's a nice little video I shot yesterday when I was hired to make a portret of a family. This is only the intro part of the film.
All shot in 8-bit. Most of it in Full HD. I personally really like the colors of this cam and it's very gradable.

Winner LUT and shooter! :-)

Thanks for the information Aaron. I'm afraid the explanation can be nailed from this discussion:
Even though, this may come more apparent when we raise the sensitivity. ISO 800 is too low for popping up. I guess that's there even when not noticed.

There are other settings beyond sharpness where over processing stands. Neither ends there. A bit all over capture devices and camera manufacturers BTW. Without mention post. That is, yet no clue of any digital camera to somehow shoot film :X other than towards the subsequent workflow...

See?... (almost) all is possible in the digital realm with certain steps. Still over processed to require more blur anyway. PotPlayer is your friend :-) 

Not in Pot Player though. Artifacts are practically gone if you add blur there. Not manual settings, right. Funny because it works. Trick hinted, I do bet.

Absolutely. This is really funny. But, it is what it is. The right amount of blur can solve it anyway. Without becoming too soft. With the right caveats this camera can be 'the camera'. Mike Hannon's comparison test has proved it. I also bet we need NR dialed down whatever ISO is.

LOL Funny and meaningful. But, that black sun couldn't be part of Panasonic offer :-D

Anthony, c'mon... And what about 5D3 ML RAW?? This has stopped anyone to shoot 5-star outcome? ;-)

LOL Glenn... Nothing wrong to make the greenish Panasonic to look like the redish Canon. This means choices :-)

Yes, the GH5 is second.
 
For sure, the 5D files have much more malleability than 10bit VLog. You can really go to town on Magic Lantern RAW - it's a much thicker file. It's almost pristine (except for ugly shadow noise).
 
But I think that it is actually a testament to the GH5 that I can do that. And what I've presented here is only the realisation of my preferences. The point that I want to make is that the 10bit 422 files are robust enough to undergo a fair bit of colour correction / grading. To me, the VLog coming from the camera is a "raw" material with massive potential, as the (properly) RAW footage from the 5D3 is a beginning, and not an end in itself. In the main GH5 thread you mentioned that there was a range of quality in the posted videos for the GH5, from video-ish to something more satisfactory. Believe me, if Magic Lantern RAW was accessible to the same kinds of users - and in the same numbers - as the GH5, you'd see a hell of a lot of bad 5D3 ML videos.
 
Exactly. You need 12 nodes or 20 minutes work to match this with that. But when the groundwork is done, you're in business. Today I made a nice lut that combines the Canon-like colour with a Lightroom film emulation preset. I loaded this into the camera as a monitoring lut and exposed until it looked good in the viewfinder. Came back and slapped the lut on and each shot was perfect. It took as long as it does to Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.... with maybe a small WB and curves adjustment beforehand This is the look that I'm into at the moment. In a year's time I might be into something different.










 

Big time!

@hyalinejim Great job with making the Panasonic reds less orange and ACTUAL red. Here is a shot where the tubes were solid red, the poker table was red, and the guy's shirt was red/black. It was looking a bit orange naturally till I added your LUT.
 

Good to hear Aaron! It's real knife edge stuff trying to spread out hues that are compressed, and to compress hues that are spread out - especially with a low contrast, low saturation profile like VLog. Sometimes an additional correction is needed on top of the lut, nudging an individual hue one way or the other. But you're right. Reds from the GH5 are almost always quite orange.
One caveat with the lut is that sometimes reds will become quite oversaturated. This works well for getting nice skintones, but if you have bright red clothing or a traffic sign it can get overblown. Pulling back on the red saturation helps in this scenario.

The fact few people if any can tell the difference lets us know all we have too.......
 
Both cameras look great and if most people here cannot tell the difference, 99.9% of the audience will not be able too either......
 
Go and create the project you've always wanted, the camera is no longer an excuse /
 

Apple phones suck way harder than apple computers... still it's a decent battle none the less. I've always used Apple, I got angry recently with how crap they are going now and thought about switching systems, used Windows again and asked myself what the hell I was thinking. Resolve 14 with MLVFS is great for my uses.
If you were Donald Trump you wouldn't know how to edit a video so which system you have would be mere semantics. 

I feel like this everytime, lol. But already created some presets and luts, so Panasonic's color science is no big issue anymore.  

LOL Funny and meaningful. But, that black sun couldn't be part of Panasonic offer :-D

You're absolutely right. Same feeling here. You know, people think they are able to mimic Hollywood straight out of the box ; )
I share Dennis' (@deezid) perspective, though, not as much skeptical as him.
My only beef with GH5 is not the pathetic plot over AF, obviously. But, its over processed outcome; POV I concur.
See:
And:
I still believe this camera is able to produce the best current offer in competent hands.

Right. No camera yet. All that comes from the videos I've seen and my own experience with other cameras and also the former models to second the thing : ) Trust me, GH5 is the best bang for the buck you can buy in May 2017 :-)

What would the point be then?
Well, seems obvious then, 4K is always welcome or no one would ever bother to request for someone hacking it, isn't it? ; )
Don, buy your mini-Varicam! (E :-)

Either way, I've downloaded your sample and still find the need to add extra blur... :-)

Agreed.
@AaronChicago, what about NR on your capture settings?
In any case, Ursa samples don't fully rule out either. A bit less, though.
As already posted before, everyone can check it out by their own, Pot player does the trick for preview: Ctrl+B. No need much effort... Try it guys, your eyes can only stay grateful : ) Aka 'the GH5 playback filter' when we don't apply our homework earlier. Kidding or keeping the topic here a bit lighthearted anyways, this stuff is not so straight out the box as we can only dream for.
