Guys forgive me for insisting on this raw thing. Tell me where I am wrong. I am here to learn. In M43 I have a crop of about 2x due to the ratio of the FF sensor to the M43 sensor. When I shoot in Prores or H265, the camera uses the whole horizontal part of the sensor and then scales the image to C4K or UHD resolution. When I shoot in Raw the camera uses exactly the pixels needed to get the desired resolution otherwise it would not be raw. I did not understand if in the two options the camera changes the crop factor of the lens. Thank you in advance

I liked but what's in there can't be obtained with the GH5? I see a nice but pretty heavy color grading.

Out of curiosity, I was reading this on ARRI website: https://www.arri.com/en/learn-help/learn-help-camera-system/image-science/log-c I'm newbie about RAW. Does it mean that LogC3 from GH7 not being ARRIRAW cannot take advantage of the mentioned workflow?

This is the GU GH7 review opening statements 😑

I'm reading this in a hurry... What does it means? In 4K prores raw i will have an extra 1.4 crop after the 2x crop of M43?

I had them since GH2 but now I'm thinking to switch to another Brand.

I use my GH5MKII exclusively underwater. I will buy the GH7 hoping to find a GH6 housing on the used market. Saving 4K€... https://www.nauticam.com/products/na-gh6-housing-for-panasonic-lumix-gh6-camera

Panasonic proved to have the best body and thermal design in the market. Just remember that Gh4 (unlimited 4K had the same GH3 body (1080p). And we are still getting Sony cameras that heats like an oven... Gh7 appears to have exactly the same GH6 body that is good to me.

That is the GU special edition...

On my GH5 for underwater work I'm stuck with the old mediocre 14-42mm. The best current underwater wet lenses were developed around 28mm FF so the only compatible M43 lens is the 14-42mm...

https://www.43rumors.com/leaked-first-panasonic-lumix-gh7-images/ Someone say it's the same GH6 body. It could be my lucky year 🙂

I imagine some sort of enhanced battery grip with audio part embedded. Something like the old GH4 battery grip with xlr input or... an updated audio input of the current gh5 one.

Don't Pana and BM have an agreement for M43 format and also L mount? Couldn't it be BRaw? Pana has its raw format on varicams but I don't think it is compressed, right?

given the patent war what raw format can be expected?

Rumors speak about internal raw? BRaw?

Reading the news about June 5 and putting the whole S9 Gerald Undone Special Edition drama in perspective, I am left with the only real big curiosity: why they decided to introduce S9 at the last moment. What accident did they have? Because it is clear that they did not have a ready lens for the presentation. The 26mm/F8 pancake is a joke. Or was it all prepared?

Good catch!

June 5 looks like the video maker's holiday. Double announcement Pana and Canon. Rumors run wild. https://www.43rumors.com/ft3-panasonic-lumix-gh7-to-be-announced-soon/ https://www.canonrumors.com/canon-usa-to-launch-new-cinema-eos-product-on-june-5/ If a GH7 really comes out, I'll have to break my piggy bank. P.S. I wonder if Gerald will have had one of these machines on test 😉

Good catch indeed! What about from the standpoint of pure image? Is the C70 comparable to the K-X? I didn't want to use the word cinematic 😉 Yes, when run&gun meets cinematography

Ergonomics apart, how do you compare images from the two cameras? My friend was torn between the C70 and the R5C (For underwater and narrative use). Each ticked off several items on his checklist. The choice was so difficult that in the end he did not take either 🙂 Now both cameras are quite dated (not from specs pov) and a new version is around the corner so better to wait for both new and used.

Since the thread is somewhat pleasantly derailed.... I don't know if you have seen the series “Chimp Empire” on Netflix. Great cinematography made in many places of close-ups in the darkness and shadows of the forest but also of very dynamic scenes in which the two chimpanzee families give each other a hard time running through the trees. On YT there are several behind-the-scenes shots in which the video operators are seen running like crazy through the jungle. Situations you have to catch on the fly i.e. the classic “run & gun” applied to a very cinematic documentary. C300s and C70s are seen. It's been a long time since I've seen a documentary filmed with these machines. There is this very nice article about the choices the director made about the crew and equipment: https://www.televisual.com/news/how-we-made-it-james-reed-on-chimp-empire/ In another article that I cannot find now, the director related that the most beautiful scenes were shot by the guide alone (a local girl who had taken a filmmaking course) to whom the crew in the off periods had left the C70.

But no for goodness sake! Don't misunderstand me. The idea is also cute, since I fell for it. It's just that watching dozens of videos and hundreds of comments posted after GU's video I see that everyone tries to disguise the problem. then I don't know that youtuber so I couldn't appreciate his ironic streak.

Edit: I realize it was a joke (sort of). So now all these YTs are trying to reposition themselves from the GU video. I personally believe that this business model is rotten to the core, and these witty videos are not going to change the substance. I don't think it will change anything. In some time the dust will settle and the circus will resume as usual. GU only spit in the pot it was eating in because it had long since repositioned itself from pure reviews. Time will tell

From Italy, this video, after the introduction in completely blank. tested on desktop and app

And I can't believe that with my GH5 I can't do what the gopros have been doing for years which is to download the videos in lightweight format to my phone immediately to get a preview. This would be a very useful thing on a boat with the housing still wet since I can turn on the wifi from the underwater housing.
