With my G7, I have been able to get full coverage with a 12.5mm f1.4 Canon TV lens and near full coverage with my Cosmicar 12.5mm f1.9.

Hey Merce,

great find with the Canon lens. Do you have some footage, you would like to share? Really fully covers the 4K image?

cheers, Marty

I did this video using A7s and RX10ii. couldn't match both cameras few shots. May be not great video but does local job needs. tx

I think it is great indeed. Nice cinematic energy and beautiful to watch. Great job!

 I have my three zoom trinity that covers everything @ f2.8. I don't have to buy U3 cards to get the camera to actually record.

Hey Eoshd fellow filmer:) What lenses are your zoom trinity?:) cheers

I think the first two sentences are very true, regarding the camera. The foliage on the ground looked really great. I really enjoy the mentality of yours, grabbing a camera and shooting stuff for our viewing pleasure. regards and thanks!

hey merce!:)

great contribution. nice footage. funny thing, was thinking about a eoshd challenge: doin a little short with a FZ1000. I imagine, sensor and codec could hold a candle

to a G6. Got some nice footage out of that G6 with grading. Problem is, got a short done with my two mates and four actors, but just playing around too much

with Davinci. Unfortunately I got the best results with a by eye approach, so harder for me to reproduce the workflow on other projects.

Are they made of gold?
Same sensor in the gm1, you get three used for the price of a GH2

Oh, I think, the gm1 has even more mojo imagewise. Martin Walgrens vimeo footage looks beautiful, so does Eoshd´s jase´s (jan s´) footage.

Sensor from the GX7 with a beautiful overall image pipline. GM1 for hundred bucks then, Mattias?

That would be a crazy deal then! Thinking about getting a GM5 for being my interchangeable lens photophone without the phonepart:)

Oh yeah, F3, there was one on Ebay, didnt sell for 1000 Euros, second try it sold for 2300 Euros. Great chance missed, but 950 shooting

hours are not to be ignored neither.

Thanks guys, the 18-105 seems very nice for run and gun documentary work.

Thank you once more for putting light into the darkness of assumptions:)

Hallo,

I just figured, that Auto Focus might not work well for adapted EF lenses on the FS7 and FS700. Only on A7RII with its Phase detection.

Would that be the same for the non speedbooster version?

Wouldnt make sense then to work with EF lenses on the two cameras, if auto focus is wanted for documentary filming?

So are there good autofocus solutions for FS7/700 other than native lenses?

Wouldnt make sense then to buy the Canon L 24 105 F4 for autofocus purposes?

I returned my G7 but it is a very good image/dollar. And it is so freeking light its scary. It weighs nothing. Pretty comfortable to.

Its retail price is down to $420. And everything points to it following the same path as thr G6 did here. Meaning it will cost around $270 before winter. 

Which of course gives it a used value o $200, and thats being extremly generous. Used price today is $300 for mint condition with +1 year warranty.

All this is imo because of a totally over saturated market. There is imo no way all these brands can keep competing like this. Maybe Samsung did the smartest move and just got out. 

Hallo Mattias, that are hells of deals!

What stores are selling G7s for $420 or used ones for $300?

I will buy a G7 there, no sense in waiting!

In Max´ video A6300 has obviously higher resolution than G7, also details in the shadows instead of mud.

Regarding the shadow detail it looks like a codec issue of the G7 with noise reduction dialed up too much in the profile.

Now this is starting to become some real fun tradition!:)

1. D5300

2. G7

3. FS5

4. winner:)

Exposure is longer on the second camera.

Hey Jase,

looking good. Now the high resolution is really visible even when watching it in 720p. LX100 and GM1 from

your other videos hold their own though, with beautiful color. The Tiffen Ultra is the filter or the plugin?

G7 is a totally natural progression from the G6 , it does all the G6 does plus more - so sell your g6 and buy a G7

 

Like I said, Andy, you most definately got me sold, twice now:)

Cheers and Good night!

Seems he just wanted to know:

But, I guess that 2011 brochure cleared up the fact that the person he talked to was right. So yes, he can use one of those cheap 10bit 4:2:2 recorders and does not have to upgrade it first.

Great, thanks a lot guys! That´s great news. Thats exactely what I needed to know, no cameras after 2012 or paid update needed for real 10bit!

Thanks again guys!

The FZ-mount is regarded as a highly adaptable mount. I saw RJ did some: http://www.rjcamera.com/ocart/index.php?route=product/category&path=20_67

Wow, fantastic! Thank you for this great hint!

It´s really getting tempting to buy one. Now just wondering about the 10bit 4:2:2 for models before March 2012 without the update and sofore without SLOG and 4:4:4:)

Hey,

thank you for your answer. I have read that before. But even on the older F3s, I was told, it would have 10bit 4:2:2 over SDI without an update, just

not the 4:4:4 and SLOG. But I am having a hard time to believe that, since I haven´t found any info to support that claim. So I am still a little bit in the dark:)

Wow, Andy, you and Bushman Films got me sold on the G6.

Now I gotta get a G7 and part with my old first love:)

Looking at the F3, I can't see a reason not to go for it at the current price.  as long as you can budget for an aftermarket fz mount adaptor or PL mount glass, as well as rigging and the external recorder for 4;4;4 you'll likely not find a more powerful camera.  I'd take 4;4;4 1080p from the F3 over any 4k dslr.

Hey Rich,

also thinking about getting a F3 for our school. I was told it´s ready for 10bit 4:2:2 over SDI, right away out of the box.

Is that true? I only know about the paid for update for 899USD for SLOG and 4:4:4.

Also, is it possible to put another mount other than PL on the FZ mount, like EF or Nikon?

cheers, Marty

Hallo fellow citizens of the Reid States,

this time your expertize is really needed and even more appreciated than ever before.

I can see, over hundred people have been reading my plead for wisdom. But no answers have been found yet.

Yet. Please fullfill my desire and longing for enlightement:) All you ambassadors of the Great Cameras I would

once more admire you articulate and unique insight into this question.

cheers

Lookin great! So you traded your LX100 in for the Sony? Quiet a decision:)

Hey Mattias, thanks for the hint! Now waiting for some sweet Swedish deals on the Panasonic G7.:)

Nope, it is a rx100 iv. Have to say that i am quite pleased with the results!

Oh, so can we look forward to see some footage from you very soon?:) At what length did you shoot?

camera tests where paid for by the production company so they own them , I can't post those , BUT take it from me the results where mind blowing , I was amazied it was so good and clean in the blacks in low light no fizzing noise at all and NO BANDING at all , I did lots a of graduated Gelled lights spread across walls and tested from Bight colours to falling off into shadows and NO BANDING !! very nice clean images , did alot of heavy grading in a DaVinci Suite at Media City in Salford and we pushed the images to the max and they held up to all we threw at them , this camera is significantly better in my opinion than the GH4 , rigged up correctly it is a very serious film making tool and a very good price for what it delivers all the tests where done 24p UHD 4k in Natural Profile contrast -5, saturation -5 (I did not use Cine D we tested it alot and it takes too much correction to get it back usable. ) Maximum ISO I used was up to 800 , I'm lighting sets to f2.8 and max 800 ISO is cool , I'm down at 400 and 320 alot .

Hallo Andy,

this is a great post to go along the angieux/tokina one. Such a great source of knowledge! Thank you very much.

Just one question, test were done with the internal codec, right? So how does the HDMI to Assasin compare to the internal footage,

is ist noisier due to lack of any noise reduction? cheers and thanks!

$1400 is steep. Its still $990 brand new in Sweden.
And where supposedly an expensive country. For example the a6300 preorder price is $1350.

A new NX1+ 16-50 S and Battery Grip is $2000. Should make it $1-1200 used if mint condition.

Hey Matthias,

would it be possible to link to these kind of offers? Seems like you always get these awesome cameras for awesome prices:)

cheers

Sony A6000 I reckon then:)
