    Panasonic GH6

    We have the GH6 for work. The lack of anamorphic shooting options frustrates me as we have a slew of anamorphic lenses. There is no 3.3K (which desqueezed would make a nice 4K image). Instead, we got 5.7K anamorphic and 4.6K anamorphic at 48fps?!? I can only reason was to shoot anamorphic in high resolution and slow motion as high of a resolution as they could (4.6K). The issue I have is the 3.3K 4:3 desqueezed gives it that nice textured Super 35mm look. 5.7 is too clean for anamorphic for me. I’m confused as to why that was omitted. Not to mention all the anamorphic modes are 10 bit 420 Long GOP with no ProRes options at all. The GH5 is a Anamorphic beast IMHO.

    I'm very disappointed in the update from an anamorphic options viewpoint. One, they refuse to give us the 3.3K 4:3 option in ALL-I (or lower resolution), and none of the anamorphic options are available in ProRes or ProRes HQ. I like my anamorphic footage to have some grit to it. The 3.3K handled that well as it was closer to film resolution. Now it has that pristine anamorphic look I really don't like. The fact that they put anamorphic options in Long GOP still baffles me when they had it perfect on the GH5.
  3. My company was debating purchasing the GH5 for sometime. Last month we finally folded and upgraded from to the GH5. We now use GH5's and the Sony A7S II for VistaVision 65mm type shots (or special low light situations). Haven't regretted the decision one bit. And now with news of this firmware update coming so soon, we're even more happy that we made the decision. Yes we'll still rent an ARRI or Red when needed, but I think our current setup will work quite well, especially for run and gun/quick interview setups. Thanks Panasonic. As a Canon fan, you're leaving them in the dust. The C Series is nice, but their DSLR's (which started all this) got left WAYYYY behind as a result of them pushing their cinema line.
