    gethin got a reaction from Ratguity in which 60p stop-gap camera   
    I have a GH2, D800 and 60d.  So far the GH4 looks like a very sensible next step, but typically I have 2 big jobs that need shooting before it'll be out.
     
    I have a speedbooster, and a growing collection of nikon glass. I do a lot of wide lens stuff currently with the tokina 11-16, but I miss the canon 10-22, bigger range and less barrel distortion.  I shoot a bit of timelapse now and then
     
    Theres only about $250 separates g6, d5300, and gh3.  Don't especially shoot in low light, but have found the gh2 blocky noise and fizz in the shadows to be an issue.  If the G6 is no different in that regard I'll rule it out. (Some people say its better, some dont). I like the dynamic range of the d800 video, but thats about it.
     
    Really need a decent fast ultrawide for M43 or APSC too. (12mm doesn't cut it on M43, I need 7-9mm or 10-12 on apsc).

    Hey,
     
    So you would rate this camera above the GH2 and GH3 in terms of image detail. But how do you like the IQ in 60p? I am looking for something cheap to shoot slow motion (since the Pocket Camera clocks out at 30fps) and this Sony could fit the bill I guess.
     
    Also do you know if the EU version has 60p/50p or both?

    g6 is way superior to gh2 in low light
    gone is all the fizz noise in the blacks
    Ive swopped from gh2 to using g6 now and the whole camera is much better then the gh2
    the screens are superb the evf is amazing cant work without it now
     
    the iso's are all alot cleaner now alot less noise
     
    focus peaking is great I leave it on all the time now
    and the remote wifi control of the camera on your iphone is unreal
    I can pull focus and stop start recording change the iso etc etc all via wifi
    with the camera 100 feet away on a jib arm !
     
    the panasonic image ap is free and very very useful!!
     
    g6 is the way to go

    What kind of big jobs?  On the wide angle, there is the panny 7-14mm.   I read somewhere that ultra-wide lenses are physically wide angle optics attached to telephotos, that the lens gets a wide angle then has to enlarge it to make it through the distance to the sensor.  This makes sense to me.  I find the quality of ultra-wide angles made for aps-c or ff to be somewhat soft.  If you're not doing much photography then seems to be you should just get a MFT wide-angle.  I would think it would give the best quality on any MFT camera.  My guess is that is has to do little, if any, "telephoto" work onto the image to get it to the sensor.
