    !!UPDATE!! One issue with the Viltrox Speed Booster is if you're trying to use a lens with no contact points(like a vintage lens), The GH6 will think it's a connection error and won't let you shoot. For now I threw a piece of electrical tape converting the contact points between the booster and GH6 and it works but still not sure how i feel about throwing a piece of tape in there...

      @@mbailey802 Well the tricky thing is, it will shoot with no lens, but it detects the electronics of the viltrox speed booster. So then it assumes there's some sort of error because it know's there's a connection but no information coming through. By taping off the connection in the speed booster, it cuts off the signal entirely and the GH6 will just assume it's a manual lens and it'll let you record. Would be nice if I could just tell the GH6 to ignore that signal entirely.

    That was a really thorough, detailed and fair video. I tried to get a lot of this across in my review as it's so easy for people to dismiss Panasonic based on AF alone, but there's so many other benefits in this camera that go beyond a lot of more expensive rivals if you're into pro video tools and operability. Great real-life examples and useful comparisons with the A7S III as well. One of the best GH6 reviews I've seen so far!

      Shooting video on cameras with fast lenses and larger sensors is more challenging in some respects than shooting on a phone because it's harder to nail focus. It takes practice, but it's totally worth it.
      Micro Four Thirds is a great middle ground. While you do get background separation and bokeh, you're not going to be focusing on an eyelash when you tried to focus on the pupil because the depth of field is not that shallow like it would be in full frame.
      If you've been shooting on a phone, the GH6 is probably severe overkill. Pick up a used G85 for 1/4 of the price of this, and you will still get excellent video out of it...speaking from direct experience.
      The used market is about to get flooded with the GH5, so you might be able to get a great deal on one of those.

    • @watchandproduce
      @watchandproduce 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      No shame in shooting with a phone. I would actually recommend you consider buying Tentacle Track E to discretely mic your talent and then use a camera App on your phone that supports them. I previously only used them with my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K and now love using them with my iPhone. Sound is super important. What I actually love about the GH6 and PotatoeJet didn’t really cover was that the GH6 has a timecode port and that the camera supports real time code without having to use an audio track.

      I've had a Lumix G7 for years, it's my first "real" camera (not my phone) but I was really impressed with what I got for the price and I think it still holds up today. Sadly it's pretty terrible in low light but that's my only real complaint, the ability to shoot cinematic 4k video is enough for me, I just wish lenses (in general) were cheaper, the main lens I want costs more than the camera and kit lens.

    great review. tbh I'm kind of glad Panasonic didn't do too much with the autofocus. It's like they made it just good enough to be usable for vlogging and some gimbal shots, but are still forcing you to use manual focus for proper story telling cinematography. I'm dreading a day when professional filmmakers are using autofocus for narrative films... And wow those new codecs, frame rates and resolutions! And of course all the filmmaker tools we've fallen in love with like shutter angle and wave form, and even better anamorphic shooting abilities. I'm sold.

      Don't keep your hopes up. The sensors are a7iii sensors, I don't have the data spec sheet but if Sony doesn't have it in the spec sheet it will never happen. That's the reason why the S1/S1H/S5 do not have full width 4k60p. It is limited by hardware architecture, processing power, and heat management. Not firmware.

    This camera is insane given it's competition. Even tho the autofocus is much improved, it's still a little bit of a letdown though. Especially considering the competition. I don't know how they can keep using phase detect points being detrimental to image quality in specific situations as a reason to stick with DFD contrast AF when Olympus has hybrid phase detect and their autofocus is basically as good as canon and sony...on micro four thirds still. If Panasonic and Olympus/OM systems teamed up, we would have the perfect camera.

    Used the GH5 for five years and built a six figure business using it. It was one of the first cameras inexpensive cameras to have 4K60p when it came out in 2017. The C300 Mark II didn't have it with a $16K price. Panasonic changed the industry forever with the GH5. Till this day, Panasonic is still one of the only mirrorless camera manufacturers including shutter angle in their bodies (Sony A7SIII $3500, FX3 $4000, & Canon $3800 R5 + R6, $2500, what's going on?).
    Even though autofocus would have completely won so many people over with the sub $4K price bracket, at $2200, you are getting many features that you cannot get from Sony and Canon at twice the price.

      This is so true. I have a BMPCC6K Pro and shoot mostly in ProRes. This would be a great camera to compliment the BMPCC. I also have a GH5s and could at the Atmos recorder but this makes more sense to have internal recording or just out to an SSD in a smaller setup. Love what Sony can do but shutter angle and other features of this camera make this my go to light weight rig B-Roll and the BMPCC6K for my main shots. For $2200 you can't go wrong and Panny will add updates down the road. It's a great camera for the price and features.

The GH6 definitely looks very enticing but I don’t need the higher resolutions (my iPad wouldn’t be able to handle it or the memory requirements) and the price is out of my league.

Avoid that one type of shot and you can do everything with manual focus. In fact your TH-cam videos will look dramatically better if you don't do the stupid show the product directly to the camera stuff. Shoot b-roll and af no longer matters at all.

Provides 4k 120p at 10bit where the a74 doesn't even provide 1080p 120p 10bit. The GH6 doing internal prores and not needing an external recorder (literally saves thousands) whereas the A74 hasn't been given any external upgraded recording features to my knowledge. Like, guys, I'm not trying to be biased but the video features outright slap the A7s3 and this camera is cheaper than an A74, again outside of autofocus and depth of field which a metabones adaptor and fast lens solve. Also has a higher mechanical photo burst with a cool although Jpeg electronic mode (I feel it would provide similar results to simply filming and pulling screenshots but I could see the usefulness of having the JPEGS straight out of the camera. All this and I haven't even mentioned IBIS. To summarize for video cinema-style work this is a no-brainer even when compared to the A7s3 and maybe cameras of a higher tear than that, for photo, not really but still provides more in that department than I was expecting.

      Come on... I have to admit that AF is really not the best. But all the other things! There is nothing out there for that price. They have thought about everything and put also everything in there. You get more or less an R5 or A7SIII for around 2000€ with no perfect AF (the AF has been drastically improved and is much better than on the S1H). And at this point it seems obvious that it is one of the best cameras for your money currently.
