    Matt Y got a reaction from mercer in Stills to video, need help   
    Mercer.  And to the group.  Since you all are experts, regarding the camera dilemma, here is more insight and questions regarding the EM1.2 and GH5
    This documentary is going to be shopped around to a bunch of different places.  PBS, HBO, etc.  My uncle has a publishing agency behind this, he has been in the music industry for 40 years and he knows how to promote and well connected.  The sentence before is NOT(NOT NOT NOT) meant to brag but to state the point that I don't want the video quality to be the determining factor between this getting picked up or not.  This project freaks me out and excites. Regarding the camera: I am doing long interviews.  Hours.  Would prefer to do it in 4K so the editor has a lot of head room.  The EM1.2 is limited to 30 mins.  It seems to me a distraction but you all know best.  If there is an easy/fluid way to get around this, let me know. From what I have read and seen on youtube (my only source) the quality at 4K 30fps out of GH5 is better than OMD.  Also, if the requirements from editor changes to just HD, I understand that the HD quality out of GH5 is better too. The EM1.2 was purchased 2 weeks ago from the Oly refurbished store. I can get a full refund.  I do really like the camera and it fits well in hand compared to the GH5.  But, the GH5 is an excellent video camera and a very good stills camera.  Thanks again for the great input!!!
