Dave Maze Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 I did a shoot yesterday with my 1DC and Contax Zeiss glass and loved the results. It was a nice reminder how great it is. Low light, color science, and full frame all great on it. Such a clean but beautiful image. Still gonna hold onto the 1DC until I do proper GH5 tests. mercer, dahlfors, Francesco Spiezia and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolvnyc Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I'm considering adding the GH5 as my second cam for slow mo, drone shots, etc - but they are very different tools. They both offer stunning images (and if you know how to light, compose, direct) you can make amazing work on either one. remember some of the most iconic images and films ever made were on equipment that is now worth nothing. I would say figure out which one best suits exactly the kind of work you do and hope to do and go with it. If you have an amazing reel, no one cares what you shot it on. And when your client insists on Red for some stupid reason - fine, just rent it. You need to have the best tool to allow you to realize your personal vision when you're not on someone else's dollar. And I disagree - the 1dxm2 is no competitor to the gh5, I have done several tests and the 4k footage from the 1dxm2 is junk compared to the 1dc - I will be buried with my 1dc. Never giving up the magic that camera spits out... Dave Maze and Francesco Spiezia 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is a nice image... the 4K CLog is just the right mix of soft and sharp... was that shot at The Bluebird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it'll be a serious competitor and a true "upgrade" in a lot of ways.........but I can't get away from that OH MY GOSH so beautiful mojo my 1DC makes. But if the GH5 is a serious upgrade then I would love to sell my 1DC and Zacuto Gratical (lack of focus peaking tool). Every dollar counts for where I am right now in life trying to pay off debt and move to LA Im not making any rash moves until I get my hands on the GH5 and do some tests but would love to hear your thoughts. 1DC better color, much better iso performance Would never trade a pro Canon Camera for a Consumer Panasonic one, this thread honestly makes no sense...... Panasonic GH shines in production situations, it's poor light and reaction to mixture of color temperatures is something I would never use "run n gun"...... You need to think to yourself what is it you are pursuing in life and go after it..... Are you a Cinematographer, Director, writer, editor, etc....
