I need to invest in a new camera ecosystem for work, and like the OP am torn between a GH5 or an XT3 as a starting point.
I'll be using the camera to take promotional stills as well as create videos, upgrading from a Canon 650D which I inherited. However, I'm also looking at the camera being able to both record and live stream events and committee meetings, some running two to three hours in length.
Could I use an Atomos Ninja to extend the XT3 beyond the 30 minute recording limitation?
Would that also get round the problem with the XT3 cutting out at about 1hr20 due to overheating when recording 4K?
Can I connect a continuous power source so as to record past the 45 minute battery life?
During committees, will I be able to use the app to control the camera and record in anything beyond 720p?
The GH5 may look like the better option, but I do like the XT3's superior AF and the fact that video footage looks so good straight out of camera without the need for a lot of work in post.
