    I have G80,GX80 and GH5 , and there is not much difference in the dynamic range, so 1, -1.5 stop . I do not consider it so important
    But GH5 has a much better fullHD video !! That difference is huge, and that's important to me

    Sorry for starting up another GH5 thread but figured this could focus on test footage/your first go with the camera. Here's mine - got it today, had 10mins of light left after work so took the kids to the park.
    A mix of 4K 50p and 180fps VFR, daylight WB, iso 200, Sigma 50mm on Speedbooster XL, Natural profile. Shot mainly wide open. No ND filter so controlled exposure with high shutter speed.
    PRO's so far: Options galore, amazing build, EVF/LCD= amazing. Picture looks GOOD! IBIS = incredible!
    CON's so far: Annoying sensor that flicks from EVF to LCD (can this be turned off?). Biggest con for me is not being able to flick to 180fps quickly. Had to dig into the menu every time. Really hope this can be assigned to a Function button but doesn't look like it so far. Grrr.
    I'm a GH4 and A7Sii user so looking forward to comparing. Be hard to beat a7sii but this beast might just do it!

    tonysss reacted to Simon Shasha in GH5 Noise Reduction @high ISOs simply sucks...   
    I shot live music for a long time (video below). All on Canon 7D and 60D. Pretty much only had one lens (Sigma 30mm F1.4), and would rent a Sigma 20mm F1.8, or Canon 70-200 here and there/when needed:
    The Canon 7D and 60D were not ISO champions, they pretty much fell apart after ISO 640.

    When I bought my A7S, I wasn't that impressed. Sure, I could shoot crazy high ISO, but given my experience with the 7D and 60D, I didn't really need it in the end. Not for the shooting style I had developed by that time, anyway. Fast aperture made the difference. Most of the time. I'd gotten so used to pulling focus at F1.4 - F1.8. Would drop the shutter to 1/40, 1/30, if the lighting being used allowed it. Was never fond of shallow depth of field. Tried to keep my shots wide to avoid it. I always found very shallow depth of field disorientating. I never used my own artificial light - I always found it visually obtrusive, fake. I wanted viewers to feel like they were there.

    I guess I had to really choose my shots back then. Wait for the light. There were many times where I wouldn't be shooting at all, just waiting on the sidelines for the light to change. If I got the shot, I got the shot, if I didn't, too bad. Sometimes I think it was better this way - stopped me from over-shooting. The only downside was having to pay attention non-stop to the lighting...but I guess that's our job in the end, no?

    tonysss reacted to Kisaha in More love for the Sony A6500?   
    These cameras are disappointing, I can't believe that the guy Paul Cryer would buy one for weddings! That is a no go in any way.
    I do not know where you live, but it the Greek summer, there is no way you can use these cameras for anything more, than a 3rd or 4th camera during the night party, and even then (because here you have to record some parts of the party continuously) you certainly need a workhorse camera for the party (C100s or NX/GH4 are our most common tools, depending the budget). We use the a6300/a6500 at night, were the high ISO performance is really something, but the 18-105 is 4f, and you loose what you gain, e.g versus my 2-2.8f 16-50S lens, while the 18mm aren't that wide, and you need wide more than tele in these situations. This lens, is nothing special, but his in built stabilizer is really good, and for the money I consider it as the best Sony bargain lens.
    Let's see some facts, in one wedding that we had NX1/GH4 and the newly bought a6300, we used the a6300 only for a smaller portion of time, and still you used 4 batteries (while 2 in the other 2 cameras) and we had to charge at all times, because you never knew when the batteries would be depleted. The dim of the screen is crazy, the camera is almost unusable, seriously, imagine your screen to dim in the Greek summer! This is not a camera for a southerner, or northerner (depending where you stand on the globe!). Also, we could never trust a camera that overheats in these conditions, while my NX cameras, and my friends GH4 can record for hours straight (tested while recording live performances, and some unbelievably hot summer noons).
    The ergonomics and menu system are probably worst in business, while the a6500 is a bit better (I haven't used it extensively, it seemed a bit better than the a6300), the small and relatively light body can be a burden with a bigger lens (it is a nightmare using it with an EF adapted lens, believe me!), I would say that the 18-105 is the maximum for the a6500, for the a6300 even this seems unbalanced. I rather have a smaller and lighter camera like my NX500 for when I want light, and my NX1 for when I want something more professional with better ergonomics and grip, I am 100% that the next professional Sony mirrorless cameras will be more dSLR-like than before. Some things just work, and are tested for decades.
    Lack of touch controls (the a6500 gimmicks are no good for video users) is something out of the previous decade, and we are almost over in this one...
    One of the most important factors for me, that no one talks about, is the fact that the 1080p of these cameras (a6300/a6500) is unbelievably bad "1080 video is surprisingly poor by current standards, even taking a step backward from the original a6000, and falling far behind what the company's own RX100 cameras are capable of."
    and the crop isn't helping either, "the 120p and 100p modes of Full HD video are shot using a smaller, 1.14x crop in from here and 30p 4K imposes a still tighter, 1.23x crop."
    The rolling shutter is to seen to believe how bad it is, certainly worst than my NX1, and the NX1s 1080p is near the top 3 of cameras with the lowest rolling shutter, and I am shooting 1080p like 95% of the time anyway.
    "a7s II FF 1080p --- 30.3 ms (29.5-31.2)
    a7s II FF 4K ------ 30.4 ms (30.2-30.6)
    a7s FF 1080p ------ 30.5 ms (30.1-32.0-30.5-30.3-29.2-30.9)
    XT2 4k ------------ 30.7 ms (30.5-30.7-31.2-31.2-30.8-29.9)
    NX1 4K ------------ 30.9 ms (30.6-31.6-31.4-30.7-30.2)
    NX1 UHD ----------- 32.6 ms (32.9-32.0-32.9-32.5)
    a7R II 4K S35 ----- 33.3 ms (35.6-32.2-32.8-35.3-32.6-31.1)
    RX100 IV 4K ------- 36.6 ms (36.4-36.7) (without stabilization it's slightly faster: 35.7)
    a6300 4K 24fps ---- 39.0 ms (39.2-38.9)"
    and these are the cameras with the lowest RS
    "BM 4.6K (2K crop)--- 6.3 ms (official)
    1DX II 1080p 60&120- 6.7 ms (6.6-6.7)
    NX1 1080p ---------- 7.9 ms (7.7-8.0-8.1-7.8)
    NX500 2.5k --------- 8.6 ms (8.2-8.8-8.9)"
    some of my thoughts.

    I actually trust Kholi as well, but not this time. Comparing V-Log to S-Log on the A7sII? C'mon... 
    If it is nearly as good as V-Log on the GH4 it'll put the A7sII to shame in terms of color science.

    Watch my showreel to see what I mean:
    Almost 99% internal V-Log!
     
     
    And yes, I've been using the a7sII quite a lot, always struggeling with the color, even using different profiles and combinations (such as Cine4, Slog2/3 SGamut 3.cine/3/2 etc). On the GH4 I just hit the portrait profile with:
    Contrast 0
    Sharpening -5
    NR -5
    Saturation -2
    Hue 1

    And it looks almost identical to the color corrected RAW output of the FS5...

    tonysss reacted to BTM_Pix in Which cameras don't have 30-minute limit, and can be powered with USB battery bank?   
    Exhibit A !
    8 chargers for simultaneous charging of 16 batteries with storage for charged and need charging, all off one mains outlet and fits in a tray the size of a kitchen drawer.
    They all sit on a strip of velcro so can be detached easily for travel.
    Total cost was around £90 with an average of about £9 per battery charger and I think roughly £25 for the USB distributor and cables. Plus £2 for the plastic tray obviously! 
    It was worth it for the lack of clutter alone and having to root through bags to find chargers and batteries all the time.
