The RX100M4 sounds nice, but the time constraint on the 4K (5 min) and slowmo (2 sec) I believe I read about is quite painful I'd say. That would make it a no-go personally.
I use the LX100 all the time, love it. Can't get myself to give the FZ1000 the love it deserves, only take it along when I'm on some longer trips and need its all-in-one versatility (but then again, that's the exact reason I got it, I'm just using it purposely).
Haven't shot with the A6000, but when they added XAVC-S, I was quite tempted to ditch my D5300 and get one. But for the time I'm managing to keep myself from doing so.
The A6000 actually sounds pretty terrific right about now. It offers a lot and in a small package too. What David says as well though, you might even want to consider the G7. Little bit heftier in price perhaps, but seems like great value considering what it's capable of...
So, personally I'd give it a close call between fixed lens LX100 and versatile system camera such as the A6000/G7. But YOU'RE the one who needs the camera, so it's of little value what I think I would do. It really does depend on how you're planning to go about shooting stuff. The LX100 might fit the bill. Maybe the A6000 would be the best choice for you by far. You're the only one who can really tell. Fuzzy really hits it home on that one, they all give you great quality, so that's not even the main thing you should be looking for to differentiate these camera's, rather look at their other advantages and which would fit in best in your operation.
I second that completely.
Panasonic LX100, if interchangeable lens system is not important, but if it is, then, I'd go with G7. As for 4K, it is important even if you only deliver in HD.
(Future proof, better image when downscaled etc etc)
And something less technical...I feel especially good supporting Panasonic who over the years (since SD days) were supporting low budget filmakers by making great quality stuff for an affordable price. Just my two pence...:)
disclaimer: I don't work for Panasonic or any of their affiliates. (although, if they're hiring...:-) -
Bought G7, great video. I'm now looking forward to Andrew's review of the combo (Speedbooster) as promised

If you could get your hands on each camera, for a day or so, it would really help you get a perspective on things.
I am actually quite surprised, that not enough well graded videos of the LX100 have made it online. Check these 3:These should, hopefully, help you appreciate the video quality.
Cheers, they look pretty good! However, I'm now leaning towards G7, it seems way better!

Sorry guys, I guess I need some time to learn to quote properly. Just wish to thank you for all your comments. I guess the general consensus is Panasonic DMC-G7 for a cinematic look, but LX100 close second for "all-in-one" compact plus shallow depth of field and low light capabilities.
I think you should swap the NX500 for the Panasonic G7 on your list. The NX500 crop factor is a deal breaker.
The choice between interchangeable lens and fixed lens you have to make yourself.
At this point, I don't need a camera with interchangeable lens.
Well if you need telephoto then the LX100 can be eliminated.
If you don't need telephoto and you are looking for a cheap all in one solution the LX100 looks hard to beat. Isn't it about half the price as the RX10 ii?
Maybe wait a while untill more RX10 info and samples come out.
I don't need a telephoto. I don't need anything longer than 70mm to be honest.

Hi guys,
If you don't mind me complimenting you, but the information on this forum is the most on point in regards to digital filmmaking, indie filmaking and the like.
Therefore, I'd love if you could chime on what it might be a dilemma for me, right now. I'd love to purchase a camera for some arty/indie filmaking, and I'm torn between these three cameras that are mentioned in the title. (the Sony being the only one we cannot properly check). I was trying to decipher what all the reviewers are saying, but I am still puzzled about a few things.
So, there you go. I am not that worried about interchangeable lens. Sound as well. What I am worried about it is the cinematic quality of an image. Broadcast quality. Can we say with some certainty, which one has the "best" image? (most details, least artificial video look etc). Will Sony win that round - do we know? Obviously, ability to shoot 240fps in 1080p is great, but what's the quality of the image? What IS important for me is the low-light capabilities of each camera. I will be using a camera mainly for some guerilla micro-budget projects. That's the scoop. I'd super appreciate if someone can comment on it. Cheers.
Panasonic G7 settings for video

Hi,
Not sure there's a topic which tackles precisely this issue, so there you go.
I wanted to check whether the usual rule of thumb applied to GH4 settings works the same way on G7. In other words, I've had better results with sharpness dialled down to -1 rather than -5, for example. Also, the jury is still out (for me) on Cinelike D or Natural for low light shots. At any rate, I did some tests with Canon FD 1.4 50mm and maybe the sharpness worked because of it. For the kit lens (14-42), I was happy with sharpness to go to -5 and NR to -2. It's a harsher lens. Need to do more tests, but would be good to hear different opinions on the video setting. Anyone?
