Martin Kuipers Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Thanks @ac6000cw I thought as much. I hope the new team revamps it but I have no hopes and will not buy it until they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSMW Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Well I've just edited 2 weddings where I used the OM-1 and have to say, dodged a bullet with that one. The 4k 50p is not even in the same conversation as Panasonic's S35 crop from full-frame. Not even in the conversation with the 8 bit out of the S1R. Thin and horrid colour. Trying to match it is a nightmare. Low light, rubbish. Fortunately, I only used it for long static stuff rather than a couple of hundred clips, but nope, thank fcuk I stuck with L Mount. You'd have to drag me kicking and screaming into 4/3rds World now 😜 SMGJohn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most samples of it I have seen looks worse than GH4 in terms of overall image feel, feels very digital and compressed compared to S5 which feels like a proper cinema camera and even poorly lit shots have character to them. Did you ever get to try the ProRes RAW via Atomos with OM-1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No just in camera, I am a run & gun hybrid video shooter and don’t (can’t) rig anything out. But same scenes shot back to back with the S5, just no contest.

Would it be too much greed to ask just for a couple still images from the video if not I totally understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSMW Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Flat or neutral profile or whatever it’s called I’m afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMGJohn Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Never seen such bad video from these guys before, well maybe 10 years ago LOL but wow, thats terrible, GH4 produced better looking images than this OM-1, user error?? Or just bad codec and CFA implementation? FHDcrew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSMW Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Not the reason I sent it back, but I didn't like the video coming out of it so was happy I had returned it just for that aspect alone. I'm not sure though whether it was just not great or simply because I have been spoiled with Panny full frame, but suspect it's more a case of the latter. 4/3rds is officially dead to me now 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resolution was not good (compared to the 1080p from Panasonic at the time), but the colors were wonderful. Much better than in this video.
