Hi Andy thx a lot for all the time end precious informations shared. I have a gini followfocus, from i think 4 years and i love it. Really massive well dumpened stuff. I still have a question what about the bit dept on internal and external recording? Is the hdmi output 4:2:2 ? Or it's only 4:2:0 ? And what is the maximum bitrate in external recorder for 1080p video ? . Thx a lot again.

Really really curious about that.  

Nice to see a comparison e some grading tests

I think what he meant wasn't the bitrate but how good is the actual quality of what comes out of the camera over HDMI. Obviously I could record any camera into ProRes at 10bit but that wouldn't turn the content that comes over the HDMI into 10bit if the camera only does 8bit.
A lot of cameras have a "low quality mode" when idling in live view and only go to full quality sensor read out when recording gets started (which deactivates the HDMI out on the G7).

Cool that you test these things, I think the G7 is still quite overlooked in the shadow of the GH4.

True , im  thinking if is anyway better a 4:2:2 8 bit recorded to 4:2:2 10 bit wrap in external recorder, compared to the internal record that is in MP4 but 4:2:0 i guess ?  i mean for grading e some low budget chroma 4:2:2 is a bit better over 4:2:0 even if in 8 bit only.  

Really curious to follow next steps and feedbacks. Also strange many videos over the G7 but almost none on this camera

and external recorders output.
