@Andrew Reid Hey Andrew, great interview. I really like the introduction. Awesome that you had a such an open talk and constructive time with the Lumix S1 team and its leading gentleman. The current codec choices are Lumix G7 territory, which would not make me consider to buy this camera. I hope for GH5 codec choices, ALL Intra included and full VLOG. Then this would be my first full frame video/cinema camera. All full frame GH5 with full VLOG and without artificial sharpening and good battery life- here is my money! For now these codecs area available, which give Lumix G7 and GX85 quality.

Wwould love that dvx100 andromeda more, for manageable size. and no need for an 18- 100 PL zoom neither. :) Nobody on this board who read this thread has been up to offer to sell one unfortunately.

101, see, 8k stinks. :)

I do. What are you thinking, muaha. More electric energy being used on production of processors, more electric energy on servers running for 8K, etc. No need for reading the greepeaces board, you are mentioning. This is not a greenpeace board, neither is it a action shortmovie board, though some awesome action shorts have been shown on this board. This is no Snowbroading broad neither nor board, you know that, right. This board would be running on 8k gas stinkers a second, if coal was providing server power. Since it´s not, it´s 8k couch poataos´ farts a second. You see, 8K not a good thing. What gas was your camera running on haha. Right! Good one! :) Not to be mixed up with this master: Nykvist!

I don´t matter, if the human mind is letting itself be dwarfed by 8k youtube videos and social media alogrithms. Waste of energy electric energy and sofore fuel is mindblowing. Quantum computing is not coming at quantum computing speed. Plastic waste has achieved that very well though. All the cpus and gpus built just for 8k phones will come in billion numbers. Doubling polution and waste.

Even more than already, it would be a reckless abuse of resources to built all the computing power for the 8k, in phones, for its streaming content, etc, that it hopefully will not become standard. All that silicone, all that waste of energy, all that polution for the 8k cellphones, TVs, internet streaming. Terrwatts of energy and Terratons of oil wasted, water poluted. All for some shitty 8k youtube crap.

Talking like that about the work of others on this forum with no sufficient reason happens once in a while. @DBounce I wouldnt care about the contents of comments like the one above. It lacks a valid point and emphathy as well. I like your work and contributions very much. They dont have to have Spielberg shotdesign nor Storarro colors all the time.

That sentence puts a smile on my face. I am grading A7s Slog lowlight footage at the moment. Camera peeps would have been better off shooting 709 with an G85 at ISO1600 plus speedbooster, producing superiour color for that purpose. "Just not going to get the job done." puts an even greater smile on my face

bump for my one of my favorite threads:) bumpidoobidoo

Darn, @BTM_Pix, you are just too slick with everything! cheers

Still, the GF1 is somehow cooler and awesome to me than the GX1. That look is a thing of beauty. Awesome minimalistic beauty! Awesome tactile flavour.

Cool. Midtone contrast is also a thing one can apply after a succesful grade to milk the cow a bit more. After a long day of grading these little things are a beautiful gratification. Thanks for posting! Akazienstraße I would think, Schöneberg?:)

Exellent tripod work. I noticed a zoom in the middle of the video- great operating skills with that Tokina! Makes me want to use my own Tokina more! Holy, this looks massive. Convinced now, seriously! I mean, how could this camera not give a fantastic image. It'ś BM after all now now even with great low light capabilities. Great time to get a BMCC in MFT mount for little money!

Sorry, for me that is very hard to believe, really. Especially in HD modes up to 60p GH5 is miles ahead of G85. I felt build of G85 is the same as G7 when I checked it out last week. GX85 feels much more of a high quality body than both. Unfortunately its height is a bit small. My favorite built and designed camera for photography is the GF1. I think thats how one should built a small camera body. Even with its non existent handgrip it feels awesome in hand. Even an update for 8bit HD with 100mbit up to 60p would be awesome! For G7 as well! GX85 has not so nice HD quality unfortunately, so no need for higher bitrares in this mode:) Exellent, just be brave during post prod! Post has wrenched a lot of juice out of some filmmakers heads before:)

XT3 has higher bitrates than GH5s in modes with higher than framerates than 60p.

@Alt Shoo would love to see your footage with your beast:)

Hey Glenn, I imagined the G85 to have that solid GH5 buit. I went to a store to observe my 8bit dream camera again. Having been using the GX85 for quiet a while now I was a bit shocked (strong word, so a tiny little bit so) how much less quality like it felt to hold in hand compared to my GX85. Maybe I tricked myself by too high expectations. GX85 is a marvel to touch, just if its body was only a bit higher and the EVF as good as on the G7. Well, guess I gonna go to the store again and check out the G85 another time, again:)

I like that video from Indonsesia. Beautiful vignette, very well edited, framed and with adequate color. If HD image is 10bit as well externally and if it has full HDMI port, this camera is very tempting. So would be a FS700. That external 10bit image is super cinematic, better than c300mkii in my opinion! I think instead of a eos r get a fs700 with its 4k 10+12bit upgrade and a Shogun, both possibly close in price. What started as a praise for the Canon has ended with a flirt with the Sony.

Great codec. It´s extremely powerful. Don´t know if for 4K delivery but for 2.5K, C2K, HD it provides fantastic quality and beautiful gradeability and image. Just don´t shoot it with too high Kelvin number in sunlight. Color will get a bit brownish then, depending on lens and filters of course. Panasonic has a history of strong codecs. The 8bit 25mbit codec for the Lumix G7 is like c100m1 quality. Hey Ben, thank you for posting! Holy cow! Fantastic image. One of the top three and best I´ve seen here! Now I am thinking about getting the older Pocket.

@Sage holy spaghettimonster! That Ireland video has some awesome color, looking effortlessy natural. Is it possible to ask its maker about the parameters like WB, grading, profile? Is it someone of EOSHD members who made it? @mercer Hey Glenn, are you talking about the Canon DSLR video about a kid driving home in a school bus? Or which one? I am a sucker for beautifully shot pieces, done with expertise rather than with the best camera around. @Jonesy Jones GH5 is indeed a monster camera, even in 8bit it has the robustness of Panasonic codec magic, 10bit no contest! That 150mbit 4K codec is magic. No need for its 400mbit ALL-I alteration really. Taking edge off, I am going with Sages approach of using lens blur octagon 1.62 and 0.5 blending in Davici, works well even for material shot in Natural profile, with sharpness set at -5 of course.

though they did some nice editing with these dinosaurs. nowadays we see the worst hobbiest editing and post work of all time, with all the misused possibilities at hand.

@anonim Your words are to the point. Wondering where Matt Frazer was. For the launch of both the GH4 and GH5 he was doing an awesome job, and Panasonic gave him the freedom to do so. This announcement of an anouncement is not appetizing at all. I must say that as a super Panny fanboy. Hopefully Matt Frazer will do the real annoucement next year and do its info campaign, hopefully with great news like internal 10bit and even better video specs than GH5, like 10bit for VFR/slomo, 10bit for 4K 60p, higher bitrates for higher framerates, 3 stops better lowlight- so it makes up for using DOF when doing deep staging at lowlight or slomo.

Hmm, an announcement of an announcement. If it does not top GH5 video specs with 10bit plus higher bitrate in VFR, it would be a GH5s with a FF sensor and IBIS for 3000- 4000 USD. Guess, gotta wait a couple more weeks for the real announcement.

@TheRenaissanceMan whenever I see a picture of a F3 on this forum I start to lust for one. How has it been treating you? Shooting externally 422 or even 444? Tell me all about it. And IronFilm might also chim in:) Cannot get enough of these F3 stories. The m43 10-25 is for some reason of eventual lack of my competence not as appealing as a 20-100 on m43 would have been to me. Andrew wrote something about these focal lengths in the Panny FF thread. Unfortunately a mixup of numbers:( That 20mm on m43 or 28 boosted are my favorite focal lengths.

What Gamut does the GH5, GH5s provide in VLOG L?
