    I have a question about GH5 and weather.

     I experienced moisture on my lens when removing the lens cap from outside to home because of condensation

    to clarify, I went from home to outside with the lens on the body and went back home with lens still on the body, the only issue is that I removed lens cap when coming back home... and had moisture on the glass... I waited for the camera body temperature to be stable, then, after 1 hour, I removed the lens off the body and put the sensor cap, what about the lens? Is it damaged? what about the sensor? 

     

    For the sensor, I am a bit worried, it was 0 degrees outside and went to my home with over 27 degrees, I did not expose the body sensor to air, or I hope air did not enter through the lens...

    Can sensor experience issues?

     

    Thanks.

    You shouldn't have any issues. I've had my gh5 and gh4 out in -15 and lower temperatures for hours on a tripod where the camera and lenses were completely frozen over and didn't have any issues.

    The main thing that made me leave the GH5 was auto focus. 

    I rarely use AF, the rare occasions I use it's on a gimbal, with the OM 12mm f2 and never have issues. The movements are slow and at such a wide angle it works great for when I need it.

  3. It would be hard to move away from a GH5 which has 100% of everything I "need" in a hybrid camera (IBIS, flip screen, 4k 60p, good battery life, usable 6400 iso, 180fps HD, ergonomics, weather sealing, ). At a minimum any camera that would make me leave a GH5 would have to have all these options at a minimum whether it's APSC or FF camera and be under $2500.

    4. Panasonic Video Camera

    They have a GH4, and then...a Varicam. Surely they have a partner to the GH4 on the horizon? 4k 60p, better DR and 120fps HD are my only requests. 

    and... that's it. 

    ​This is what I really want out of NAB and keep it under 5k.

  5. When it comes to faces you either have a budget for a good makeup artist that can deal with HD or you don't. No amount of filters can really deal with pores, acne, blotchy skin etc.. Granted there are people with great skin that can get away with close ups but I don't really see the issue as being 4k or cameras that capture sharp and detailed images. 

  6. Here's a youtube video comparing the AF of the Samsung NX1with the 45 f1.8 prime as again the GH4 with the 12-35.... both at 2.8 - the DOF is shallower on the NX1 because of the crop factor.  Looks like the AF on the 45 is pretty good - it did not expect it to perform as well.  Looking forward to more comparisons, but this looks pretty hopeful to me regarding how this particular prime as it performs with AF.

     

    The AF is pretty damn amazing on the NX1 in video mode.

  7. It honestly depends what you're final delivery medium will be. If it's mostly web based then going with a 5dii and GH4 isn't that much of a issue. We shoot with a GH4, GH3, GH2 and 60D and have no issues since most of the projects are web based. I doubt your audience are pixel peepers like most of us are lol. Short doc use I'd go with your 5dii/GH4 with EF metabones adapter. The battery life alone on a GH4 compared to a A7s is a big plus. 

  8. For autofocus with photos I would definitely have to go with some native mount glass which they have a nice line up(16-50 f2-f2.8, 50-150 f2.8) and I'll be going with older Nikon primes mainly for video. Depending on the look I'm going for on a project I also might use native glass for video.
