Does the Panasonic G6 match GH3 in dynamic range in video mode?

It unbelievable how good is 700 USD Panasonic G6 doing against 3500 USD Canon 5D MarkIII:

That looks really great. The G6 seems to be an excellent performer. Though i have heard a while back about it having trouble in 1080p 50fps mode that the image sharpness was reduced quite abit has this been fixed in some firmware update?

How many stops of dynamic range do you get from the G6 in video mode? And how much better is it compared to Sony RX100 video mode?

Great review i wonder how the dynamic range is compared to the Panasonic G6 in videomode?

Are they about the same in dynamic range?

What about the dynamic range is it equal to the GH3 in videomode?

People, i got this camera as a bcam, after some testing i must say its just useless because of the banding problem......please....how to avoid that.....i am going crazy....

Yeah i nearly bought the camera but backed of because of this problem. Maybe only some of the D5200 are affected?

Also it does 50/60fps but only at 720p

Ok i wonder if there is moire/aliasing in 720p mode?

Maybe also wait for more tests from D7100 to see if it has any benefit in video mode.

I am hoping someone will make extensive test between RX100, GH3 and D5200.

D5200 dynamic range is pretty good

Nice clip was a flaat profile used?

Yes the D5200 seems interesting. I just wonder how much better it is then the RX100 in video mode.

If anyone can do a comparison where the best settings are used for both cameras it would be great.

It's sad that it is missing 50/60fps modes. But it's great that it seems to be a world camera capable of

both 25 and 30fps.

I want to buy something where i see major improvement in dynamic range but still not cost a fortune.

I heard on another forum about D5200 having some issues with FPN Fixed Pattern Noise also. But maybe

not all D5200s are affected.

Hi i am wondering about buying a GH3 it will be used for landscape/nature footage but i am uncertain about how much better the GH3 dynamic range in video mode is? I know that the GH3 is superior in photo mode but how much better is it's dynamic range in video? The GH3 and a decent lens is a large investment and i want to know that there will be a big different.

I want a smooth organic image quality. I have seen alot of sample footage and yes the GH3 is much sharper and certainly superior bitrate compared to the RX100. But i am more uncertain about the dynamic range.

Would be nice if maybe someone can make a dynamic range comparison between the RX100 and the GH3. With the best possible settings on both cameras.

I own a RX100 which is certainly a great camera. The GH3 is interesting but i have not been convinced yet that it will be worth the cost.

Dynamic range is very important but i can't afford the cost of the BMC with lenses and accesories.

I would really wish for a camera of the size of the RX100 which would have the dynamic range of the BMC in it's video mode. I hope it will happen some day.

I have also been looking at the canon HF G20 and G25 cameras but am disappointed that they still are 1080i based cameras. The panasonic SD900/X900/X920 have even smaller active sensor size then the G20/G25 so they are out of the question. I have the SD600 (which is 3xcmos and 1080p 50fps) and the dynamic range certainly is limited and kills all chances of the organic quality i want to see.
