    this camera is superb , I've had to keep off the forum for a few months as a Panasonic Ambassador as I was not alowed to talk about it , But I tried the G80 3 months ago and was very very impressed especially with the Image stabalisation ! rolling shutter is also massivlly better its a huge leap forward and improvement , I'm shooting my whole next feature film with 6 of these new G80s they are that good .  buy it!!

    There is indeed a lot to like about this camera in the video department :-)
    4K (and not just UHD) is a big one for starters....

    IronFilm reacted to BenEricson in Fs700 / Ody7q+ worth it as a B-cam?   
    Agree with this. The 7Q with the Sony Raw feature is under 1800, the FS700R is under 3 grand. I've seen really nice stuff done with this setup, but the color can definitely be frustrating. I'm currently using the F3, have access to the fs700/recorder. I think the F3 image looks much nicer, but at the same time, doesn't have those crazy resolutions or frame rates. 4/120fps for that price is no joke. I would most likely buy a Ursa Mini if it had internal ND filters. I find messing with internal filters to be just as bad as the size as the fs700/7q.
    If you want, I an host some S-Log 2 raw files for you.

    IronFilm got a reaction from Jimbo in GH5 Prototype   
    Is depressing reading on other places on the internet how quick the anti-MFT trolls are out, and of course their first red herring is "but it sucks at low light".
    This low light argument reminds me of the megapixel race, sure there was big benefits from going from 2 megapixels to 5 megapixels, 12 megapixels, but then at around 16 megapixels to 24 megapixels range... the arguments got a *lot* weaker. And for 99.9% of users we don't need 50 megapixels!Ditto low light, not being constrained by 50 ISO film is *AWESOME*, then getting to 200 ISO... great! And now we can do workable 800 and 1600 and even 3200 ISO!

    Let's assume GH5 carries on and is one stop better even than that? How is that not a very workable ability to handle?
    Do we NEED to have clean 100,00 ISO?? Nah, that is over the top in nearly all cases. 
    I'd rather pass on the unnecessary over the top extreme high ISO capabilities and have instead the well polished and extensive range of features that the GH5 will have.

    Good! As it means it is going for very cheap prices lately.
    Plus while the D750 mk2 might be released in a few months time, it also... might not be released in the next two years!! It is hard to know for sure.
    It is the best DX camera on the planet for stills, and does good video just not up to the spec sheet of the a7S mk2 etc

    I like this piece Ed. I saw you were tagged in it and watched it. It has a nice look, perfect for the piece. 
    Bought the F3 because I like the stuff you've done with yours. Old camera but the color is great, totally blown away for the price. People should experiment with different cameras and break the molds a bit. Shot with the Fuji XT-2. Can't believe how nice the baked in color/resolution is out of that thing.

    If you only need 1080p and aren't a fan of mu43, the Nikon D750 is the obvious choice. High DR, 1080/60p, nice colors, very little RS, robust system, and great handling.

    You're listing being able to adapt C mount lenses as an advantage for a mount we can't actually use ?
    C mount lenses generally have an image circle for standard 16 (and that's not super 16) AND MUCH SMALLER.  These are I can't imagine at all that's a huge number of users. It's basically lenses from the 50s and security camera lenses we're talking about that don't even cover 16x9 2k on the sensor.
    Youre listing a disadvantage of being able to use lenses that have 16mm and smaller image circles on a mount that typically is 135 format sensors for really old lenses or security camera / toy lenses that don't cover 16x9 on a mount no one but Sony can use.
    Aren't we getting a teeeeny bit obscure ?

    IronFilm reacted to Oliver Daniel in GH5 10-bit 4:2:2 internal?   
    I heard a rumour from a trusted source, who I just made up this minute, that the Panasonic GH5 will also have a "Hollywood Mode". 
    What this means it that by turning on "Hollywood Mode", the sensor organically triples in image performance and whatever you are shooting looks like a Hollywood film instantly. 
    The only issue with this mode is that it's in a buffer mode that records half a second per clip, and the file is 500GB in 4k. So by stitching together a 2 second clip, it would be 2TB. Sadly, the final output is limited to 4:2:0 8bit - so it requires a lot of skill to get Hollywood Mode right. 
    Also Sony will announce their Sony A7F camera alongside their lineup. The "F" stands for "fire". What this means is that you can shoot video in 6k, and the camera takes advantage of the heat generated by6k recording using Stacked CMOS Ignition Sensor technology. This uses the heat to ignite some flames in front of the sensor, and the inner chrome finish on the mount reflects gorgeous light leaks between the back element and the sensor. 
    Another trusted source who is very unreliable said Canon will release a groundbreaking huge surprise with the 5DC-M. The camera is a full frame mirrorless camera for the Cinema EOS range, targeted at previous 5D and 1DC video shooters. The camera records in 4k 10 bit 4:2:2 up to 60fps, and HD up to 180fps in the XF codec. The camera can shoot in full framed Super 35mm in all modes. It also has DPAF, 5-axis in-camera stabilisation, Clog3 and 14 stops of dynamic range, as well as a new improved HDR mode.
    The unique class-leading features in the new 5DC-M include a now removable touchscreen back LCD which connects to the camera wirelessly, and videographers can use DPAF in very creative ways by using the LCD remotely for gimbals, jibs, sliders and handheld work when the operator is using the EVF. The camera will also come with an XC15 style XLR attachment that sits on the hotshoe.
    Another incredible feature is an open source software platform to unlock further features out of the camera, like raw video, Magic Lantern style. This is so users can customise the power of the camera to their liking - a massive step up from Canon's often conservative approach. This could mean 4k/60p raw!
    Before getting excited, the price is steep at $14500 for the body and it will never be available to buy. Ever.

    (Berlin, September 15): Panasonic today announced that the new GH5 will be completely wireless - no headphone jack or mic jack. A spokesman said "We consulted Swedish video and audio experts, and they all agreed that analog audio ports were a thing of the past. They thought wireless micing was the way to go. Since they know more than anyone about these issues, we at Panasonic decided, given the go-ahead by Apple, to save money and space on the camera with this initiative."  Panasonic will also be coming out with a new line of wireless mics that will have rechargeable batteries. Battery life was not available at this time. Industry enthusiasts who devote a lot of time to on-line forums welcomed this advance.
