Thanks for the tips, i will keep these in mind. I will shoot this with my friend who is a pro DOP, and has years of experience behind camera and he definitely knows how to grade. He will shoot with the pocket camera and i will be the b camera guy (im a complete noob). I wonder what might be the best settings to get the most flat picture out of GM1, and if it's better to expose to the right. Im afraid i don't have enough time to test the camera before shoot. I also found out that my brother might not recieve the GM1 he ordered before my shoot. Then i would have to buy myself the G6, but it's not as appealing as GM1 or GX7 from photographers view. Edit: I think im in trouble. There are no spare batteries on sale for the GM1 locally. Surely one battery won't do? Also no chance to get a G6 before the shoot, because they're sold out.

Thanks for the input, i appreciate it! I remembered that my brother wanted to get a light compact camera for travelling and i was a bit selfish and recommended him a GM1 set with 12-32mm plus grip and lumix 20mm f1.7 II for 775€ (local black friday inspired 24h sale). Didn't recommend LX100 because he also wanted the possibilty to use a zoom lens with longer reach. Anyway he said that he will loan the camera for me to use this weekend. I can see that the bmpcc looks more film like, but the GM1 looks also quite nice, although more video look. Probably not an easy match, but will try. I'll surely get GM1 too if i end up loving it, or go with G6/GX7. We will definitely rent two or three led lights for this shoot, specifically for buffet closeups and such.

There is a local deal for a LX100 today 760€ vs 599€ GM1. 4K is a bit overkill for this job. Id sell the 45mm 1.8 but keep Lumix 14mm for bmpcc.

For this job i will be using tripod and a slider, restaurant is also quite badly lit. If only 10%, then i will get G6. GM1 does have focus peaking, which makes the choice harder. Can't go wrong with a G6, but it's probably not a very good as a pocketable picture shooter.

I've read here and there that the GM1 outputs similar quality to GX7 (noise, colours...I. But i don't have any idea does the opinion still stands. G6 is probably the most sensible choice (evf, tilting screen, ergonomics, 60p) but if the iq really is better on the GM1, i would choose the latter. Plus im sort of intrigued by the miniscule size. Dunno. GX7 is over my budget unfortunately.

We will be shooting a restaurant promotional vid next week and need a b cam to bmpcc. Due to limited budget, I've narrowed down the possible cameras down to Lumix G6 (499€ with kit lens), Lumix GM1 (599€ with kit lens) and Sony A6000 (about 600€ for body only). I have lumix 14mm plus wide angle converter (11mm), zuiko 45mm F1.8 and plenty of FD, OM, C-Mount and Lomo lenses plus standard mft adapters and a FD to m43 focal reducer. Im leaning towards Lumix GM1, because i'd love to use it as a tiny walkaround camera. Will try to get my hands on Sony A7 in the future for legacy glass, A7 and GM1 would complement each other. There is also the possibility to rent bm4kcc and a Canon 5D Mark III for this job, but it seems wiser to buy a new camera because i don't have a photo camera of my own any more (sold Oly E-P5 due to poor video). I have a few questions regarding these cameras: Is the screen on GM1 good enough for manual focusing? Is the video quality and low light performance really better on the GM1 (similar to GX7)? Out of those three, which would you preffer? Im putting the A6000 last because there might not be enough time to get proper adapters for this time. But willing to give it a chance, if it's better than a G6 or GM1.

I´ve read that the E-M10, although with same 24mb bitrate, has worse video quality than the E-M1. Does anybody know it this is true?

Nice trolling from Northup. Must resist reading those terribly misleading youtube comments.

First, thank you for all this information you have given on this board, this has helped me a lot. I bought Canon Fd 24-35 L and FD 35-100 based on your recommendation. But would you mind me asking, how come you end up selling that nice Yashica set? I thought you loved these. I just got 50mm f2, and it is incredibly sharp with popping colours.

Can the BMCC speedbooster be used with BMPCC? Was ready to buy the standard speedbooster, but maybe a BMCC booster would be a nice compromise if i want to use both BMPCC and GH4.

Inspiring review and a really cool musicvid. Found out this E-M1 clip on vimeo and posted in my local countrys photography forum. But the dudes there think it's impossible to these kinds of shots without rails, and so they must be thinking that the guy who shot the video is lying. What do you reckon, is it all handheld + slowmotion and warp stabilizer?

Only solution: http://www.ebay.com/itm/EdMika-Canon-FDn-FD-85mm-1-2L-EOS-mount-conversion-kit-/181006816741?pt=US_Lens_Adapters_Mounts_Tubes&hash=item2a24d8d5e5 I have read that on standard fd to eos adapter the lens is pretty much useless.

Would have been quite funny if Upstream Color was nominated.

+1 Olympus, please fix up, look sharp! Amazing cameras btw.

Interesting read regarding Sony A7 and Olympus E-M1: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?topic=85282.0

Any info on this? I recently acquired 6 lenses and a kinor 16mm camera and i am really thrilled by the possibility of using them with the Blackmagic S16 camera. I should try this adapter on my OM-D E-M5, but its kinda expensive for just experiment purpose at the moment. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kinor-16-SX-OKC-OKS-lens-to-MFT-micro-4-3-BMC-Blackmagic-GH2-GH3-AF100-adapter-/261123376752?lgeo=1&clk_rvr_id=471312952724&vectorid=229508
