Robin Billingham got a reaction from webrunner5 in Some random thoughts, just throwing it out there
I actually was expecting to buy a gh5 (been using a7ii,gx80,bmmcc) but a em1 mark ii was available at £1200 open box so i thought id give it a go, i was expecting to sell it on after a couple of weeks and get the gh5. However I am really happy with the image for stills and video, the colour is really nice for me and thats the main reason im going to keep it over a gh5. Ill miss the slo-mo (which i hardly use)
In fact im so happy with this camera that not only am i not getting a gh5, I have sold my a7ii, gx80 and bmmcc !! ... Ill have some spare cash for a couple of nice lenses too.
I havnt got footage to show just yet as im editing a short shot on the bmmcc.
For the record i love the image from the bmmcc but rigged up on a shoulder rig with screen i got stopped a couple of times by kazakh (yes was filming in -25c Kazakhstan) police, and had to convince them i was just a crazy tourist. So the dslr form factor with stabalisation would be a big advantage to me too. Thats also the reason i am not too interested in Panasonics or canons new cinema cameras

I have yet try it in 1080. I will have a little play and let you know. Im hoping the 1080 50/60 fps is good for a little slomo.
I have found the image to look really good with only minor tweeks. I use the flat profile and mostly canon fd lenses on a speed booster. I also am a fan of black pro mist and ultra contrast filters, rather than reducing any more contrast in camera. Then with just a little contrast and saturation in post it is already looking good.
Im not the most experienced colour grader and rely on good luts for my bmmcc footage so this is a bonus for we while i improve my skills

Robin Billingham got a reaction from mercer in Nikon Flat Profile Question...
Great work, I thought I'd have a quick look but watched it all. I like the Nan best
the look/grade etc was really good. What lenses did you use and any other details !! (I actually just registered on the site to ask)
