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

Did you read this? https://pro.sony.com/bbsccms/ext/eblasts/streamline/0312/0312_10bit_SLogStandardweb.html

I think I have to buy it :D
Thank you!!!

internal is superb amazing at 100mbs - external is even better 700mbs very clean and detailed

no you  have 4k UHD at 24p and 25p at 100mbs thats what I was testing not any other settings have a look on the Panny website for all the spec for the other details

yes, and definitely not an easy one. I am still not sure whether it was the complete right decision, but the even smaller formfactor as well as the slowmo (and andrew's review of course) made me jump on this trip. We will see

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!

yeah, i am in the middle of something, nothing special but will post it, if wanted. dont remember the eact length of those shots, but they were definitely at the long end.

Its Scandinavian photo that still has one 16-50S combo in stock. After that its probably gone.
 

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

it is alot cleaner in low light - the blacks are stunningly clean, cleaner than the Red Epic we tested it against, image looks very similar to the Arri Alexa we tested it against - there is hardly anything in it !! amazing camera from Panasonic   , the G7 camera lets you shoot in the shadows very cleanly in very low light. I am using 4 Panasonic G7 cameras for the new Pandora feature film I am DOP on , Panasonic have partnered up with us for this movie and we are working together to show how good the G7 is a film making tool. I am using Metabones XL Speedboosters on all the cameras, Brian Caldwell and Metabones have kindly supplied them for us to use in Nikon and EF mount . We are using these with Atomos Ninja Assassins and all the rigs for the movie are supplied by Gini Rigs , I will post some pics of these rigs soon.

Andy, can you post some frames from any test shots? You've peaked my interest in the G7. That video maker test shows some crazy clean video at 6400, I'm impressed.

yes the video stream is clean of icons etc and its better than the compressed internal 4k @ 100mb/s , this 4k Pro Res is 744mb/s

Interesting guesses, but all wrong.
Hint: manufacturer and sensor were not mentioned yet

Sony A6000 I reckon

Since i found those threads quite interesting, I would like do one on my own
Here we go:

Hey Merc!
One thing I recognized, I had to be pretty careful with the color sliders on the Cine D file. Also, light in this scene seems challenging to pull something magical out of this file. We nerds love to talk about thick colors when it comes to the technical side of the digital pipeline. I think thick light would be just as much appreciated. These dull winter days don´t often provide that at them moment. I think one can immediately recognize the magic glow of light by eye. Not talking about magic hour but the very different beasts of light depending on time of the year, day, haze, dust, sandstorm:), region,  whatsoever...:)

Here you go... I did a regrade using an inverted curve, only 50% strength on the cinelikeD LUT and a different finishing LUT. These were both shot in CineLikeD with everything dialed all the way down. It seems like there is a lot of latitude in the shadows... which is good because I underexposed these slightly. And both were shot with the RMC Tokina 35mm f2 lens.
Have at it.
 




Also they look like they could use a little noise reduction and some sharpening, but I don't have neat video... or even a good photo editing program.

Hey Mercer!
thanks for the material. Went for a quick one on the Cine D in PS. So maybe the layers would work the same in Premiere. Did color balance, gradation curve, exposure and alpha with the blue channel as softlight layer on top. I would say light in this particular scene didnt really provide that much magical nuances to pull out of the file. Looks like shot on natural profile. So why not just film in natural anyway:)

 

Hey guys,
Yesterday I did some grading to relax- it´s still cold ouside, so nothing better than to enjoy some tea in front of Davinci:)
I came across a very underexposed and wrongly white-balanced shot. Filming was done with the Panasonic G6 in Natural all -2 but color at 0.
I think, quiet amazing, though some posterization and false color cannot be ignored! So I bet GH4 would be a fantastic camera in many ways and
natural is a tested and well received profile.

 

Did some quick color balance of the original ooc shot in PS. Worked very well. Maybe in Davinci next time I won´t go all that crazy on the color wheels, exposures and layer mode but rather put some simple gentle touches on the color sliders. Still a little off but enough for now:)

You really nailed the gloomy mood of the day. I am kinda amazed that a little color balance would get so much out of this H264 file. Learned so much today. Thanks a lot! Now I can go crazy on the screenshot with the channel mixer in PS:) cheers and good night:)

Hey mercer, thanks:) Was going for a more stylized look. Day to night wouldnt hurt to put up some night like lights for sculpting the scene. Other than that low exposure and done:) Scene was shot with a Canon FD 50mm 1.4.
 
Hey, that is a very nice approach. I was falling into the redish and hazy contrast too much:) Wanted to promote the idea that the GH4 would be indeed a very liable decision, showing what a G6 under extreme conditions is capable of. Maybe thatfore my "intense" grade:) Did you pull the grade off the ungraded or the graded shot?
 
 
Hey, with Cinegain, you (and me as well:) we got some nice looking filmic gestalt out off that G6! So one more proof that G6 and GH4 more so
are pretty gradeable. Bluish hue from branches could be eliminated in Davinci by combining a Hue vs Hue via colorpicker and a mask for protecting the rest of the scene.

Hallo, wouldn´t have assumed a LUT:) Lookin great. Doin some grading with my G6 at the moment. Codec ist quiet robust. Bet the G7 is pretty awesome!
Focus lever sounds like a good idea. Wouldn´t assume Christopher Doyle used a focus puller on Chungking Express but on Hero he surely did:)

Overclocked?  My old i72600 would also shutdown on  renders until I returned to a stock clock speed.
