Hi there, interested in possibly purchasing an older GH camera to mess around with video and color grading for that "film" look.

Found this video shot on the GH3 with 20mm 1.7 9 years ago by Thomas Rault.

I used Resolve and Cineprint16 film emulator and I like the look. I do think it's a bit dark and the indoor scenes have too much color.http://dreamplayhouse.com/gh3/gh3grade.mov

Would love to see a new Video Quality Chart. Maybe one with best character then one with best sensor etc. Last one was in 2015 I think?

Funny you ask... I sold the Z6... had the S5... and went back to Z6 as I'm focused mostly on photography. Bough the Nikon 58mm 1.4G and love this combo for portraits.
I'm thinking about getting a Ninja star but none have shown up on eBay. I'm also thinking of getting another camera dedicated to only video. Possibly a GH5 with v-log or if I can find a cheap S5 for video stuff. Tight budget so not sure.
And yes, I have a camera buying/selling disease.

Thanks for all your comments. I decided I'm going to go with Z6 and might get a Ninja 2 or Star for 10bit video. I just prefer the handling and EVF of the Z6. Actually had the Z6 last year and returned for another camera... it's been a camera gear disease for a few years now.

How about this clip from 10 years ago shot on my then Lumix GH1, 28mm takumar and now added some cineprint16 film

Great to see some of you enjoy the look I get with the FZ47. I guess I'll have to shoot some more videos and maybe even a short film 🙂

Some video from my daughter's dance show. Trying to get a 16mm film look - grading in Resolve. No audio.

What do you think?

Be sure to download as it plays lower quality through Dropbox.

Would love some honest feedback and thoughts on the grading and if the look reminds you of film at all.

Actually something super cheap... A Lumix FZ47 which cost me $38.
CCD Sensor with 25-600 F2.8 lens.

There is Oly 12mm F2 but you did say wider...

Here is a music video shot on the Oly EM1 m2.

Also an article about the director and the video:

Thanks for the helpful tips!

I got an amazing deal on the EM1 m2. Everything works except the mechanical shutter.

Took the Oly with a Super Takumar 28mm f3.5 and viltrox focal reducer to my daughter's horse riding class.

Shot in OM-400 and slight grading in Resolve with a film lut.
 
 

Thanks for the in depth response!

Looking to purchase a very good 1080p Panasonic and wondering out of these few, which would be best?
GH2
GH3
G6
GH4
G7

I haven't seen any footage from a hybrid camera that can match the filmic look of BM. Yes Fuji's have nice color but BM just has the most organic look. Plasticky?? nope.

Thank you all for the suggestions.

I am now looking at something smaller with IBIS for video. How does the GX85 compare to the OMD EM 10 Mark III when it comes to video?

I like to play with Luts and grading just a bit.
