- You don't have to spend a fortune to get nice wildlife footage. Professional slow motion wildlife videography can be achieved with this budget setup. Well, there's nothing budget about the lens, but you could get similar results with a cheaper lens. Panasonic GH6 with Leica 200mm f2.8 prime. 5.7k 60p, 4k 120p, HD 240p and 300p. I also tried a glimmerglass 5 filter near the end.

Your results speak volumes. You're getting amazing footage. Keep what you have and keep working to perfect your craft.
$7000 for a squirrel shot. Classic.
The robin was just a happy bonus.
worth it!
hollywood CGI right from the beginning
"Phase 5" MCU
Wow, your peeking hack has really improved the quality of the Pani's footage. The Pani is definitely looking more viable based on this footage.
I find the GH6 to have very beautiful colour and rendering of natural materials and textures outdoors with natural light - for wildlife, keep it! Some very special footage you have here!
Check out the stabilization modes in the Panny. There is a mode that accommodates panning.
Thanks!
Fingers crossed the Nikon gods smile down upon you and gift you a Z9, at least to test for a while. I have worked with a photographer/videographer who delivered footage from his Z9 (he shot in the 8k, then delivered it downsampled to 4k). Was absolute magic, so much resolution.
Your tests are valuable because they show us the capabilities (or incapabilities ) of the camera systems that you test. Samyang is making a new line of autofocus fine lenses for Sony e mount called V-AF. There are two problems, though. Only three lenses now (with two more coming in 2023) but even worse, the longest lens is 75mm. But something is brewing here and in two or three years there might be an easy to use cine camera setup. Meanwhile, the hybrid systems are still similarly a stone's throw from perfection. But keep leaning on your camera store sources for more systems to test.
To my eyes the 240fps was noticeable clearer. Love the enhance slow motion footage of the woodpecker.
I thought the same thing 240fps looked fantastic
Same x2, the increase in details was very apparent in 240p vs 300p in the tree bark texture
I agree, maybe he couldn't see much difference seeing his shooting before TH-cam compression
I see it too
I have to say that you have some really nice shots here. Personally, I would not sell the Panasonic. It's always nice to have an alternative if you can. And yes, Panasonic is pretty good about firmware updates.
Laughing in my car like a mad man at the "why can't I quit you" line 🤣
What a great tip. I didn’t know you could do monochrome viewfinder. Thanks
There's dozens of lenses to test, and other non-gear stuff. It's really daft to be thinking of selling the GH6 only this long after buying it. So much more to offer your channel.
Thanks for inspiring me to get back into film shooting.
Stick with MFT. I think there's quite a few folks who simply don't wanna carry a full frame setup (size/weight) - and it's fascinating to watch the comparisons. Folks wanna know just how close they can get to FF, with a smaller/lighter/cheaper system.
Sell and use the money to scoop up the new Panny with phase detect when it's released. Flawless plan.
This. It’s the only correct course of action.
And that may be happening soon. th-cam.com/video/NDw4HiwsDzQ/w-d-xo.html
But which super telephoto zoom should be selected? as the new Panny with new af will be full frame. I have been searching for super telephoto for Panny full frame and couldn't find it, I am not interested in Sigma L Mount lenses.
Very impressive how your channels (ie you) have evolved over the years. Just like with the UFC, it’s the human story that matters. So, you can debate this camera vs that-but you’ve captured some beautiful critters on video.
Full disclosure: I am a Fuji user (so you can discount everything I say). But I love it because of its challenges.
Yes, it is a special set up, this footage is phenomenal and the results are somewhat more special than what you get with the Sony, more intimate, the Sony is just cold precision with no soul...
I sold my house and bought a z9. Totally worth it!!!!!
The Pani boi 240p looks the best. I think you have a keeper, but I would love to see the NIkon Z9! Best robin and squirrel footage on YT!
Love the crazy experimental stuff you're doing to help us plebs that can't (won't?) afford the elitist A7Siii. No one else does this on TH-cam. While using the GH6 I find that 4K 120p is way better for slo mo. Why not use 4K 120 instead of anything HD and just slow that down? Also, is 5.7k 60 better than 4k when using Topaz to slow things down?
Regardless, this footage is great! I love the new song. The backing vocals sound a bit different. Did you get your black friend to do them with you? You know that guy with the channel who you recommended we view for that comparison thing but he never did put out, he never did and we cry every morning waiting as our coffee gets cold. Maybe because he's busy singing with you.
I call that tee shirt the Toney Pony. It get the most comments when out in public 😅
Changing peaking color to yellow helps me a lot when manual focus
As a primary Sony a7Siii and a7iv shooter I was so obsessed on making Canon as my second system. But lately I have been prospecting Panasonic S5 and I am so glad that I am doing that. That image from gh6 today was better than anything in a long long time.
Why would you have a second system anyway? Unless it's smaller.
@@JohnsClicks you are correct I deeply want to go for smaller systems but Sony will never focus on making top class apsc. When I say top class I mean like Panasonic putting everything in gh6 or Fuji in xh 2s. Fx 30 simply doesnt cut it. Canon's apsc is ridiculous as their are no lenses and you would be stupid to think Canon will make it amazing. I only want Panasonic full frame for insane low costs. I mean on b&h I saw S5 with two lenses below $2k, now that is too attractive for anyone suffering from GAS.
@@kapilesh14 I wish panasonic would do a top class small body like the gm5 again. Give me a dual iso sensor in a gm5 sized body with an updated viewfinder! If you toss ibis in there too I'm down for 2! And quakity be damned give us smaller f1.2 primes. Give us the smallest and most capable camera possible.
@@cheeeeezewizzz I am not even aware of GM line of cameras. Are they m43 or full frame? Many rumour people say that Panasonic is going to launch a new camera in the month of January. They will probably update their full frame, I do look forward to it.
As I've been trying to navigate my way to which camera to get after selling my D700 I enjoy your humor in the process of not finding a camera to settle on.
Exciting that Panasonic is actually coming out with Phase Detect for a S5 upgrade and apparently a S1H as well. I imagine a GH6 mark II with Phase is at least 18 months out, but this is incredible news.
It already exists in a product - Panasonic says the AW-UE160 contains a “newly developed phase detection autofocus that enables high-speed focusing and can also be used to shoot fast-moving subjects”.
"...my shutter count is minus 6..." LOL!
I do really love these frame rates, I still remeber the first time I heard about the available framerates in the GH5, mind you I'm fairly easily impressed as a 5D MKIV Shooter. The 5D4 sucks so bad for video that Philip Bloom refused to review it when he saw the specs.
Imho. Wait for spring with the Panny. Shoot some beavers. Ive heard its an infestation of them in canada. Also, maybe the sun would do the magic. The footage looks already amazing. Just not the right season... Also definitly try macro. Its one of the main benefits on mft...
Finally some wildlife footage. Nice video
That was some really great footage Kasey!
You should have just stuck with that one :D
I found a great deal on the 200 f2.8 a couple of months ago, and I love the shit out of it. 1.2m close focusing distance is so nice to have. The comparable 400mm Nikkor and 500mm Sigma both have over 3m close focusing distance and are three times the price in the current market.
The best thing about MFT is all the gear people are panic selling off for pennies because Tony told them it's dead. I'll gladly take it off their hands.
I knew one day you would fall for the GH6. Valid decession, great footage even on a not say great day. Small and light (for the reach). Let's hope for some more feature-squeezing with future magic FW updates.
I use a MarkIII with the Sigma 150-600 and their 1.4 converter. The squirrels don’t complain 📸 🐿️
try the burst modes, you'd be surprised ;) B&W preview? wow, thanks, will try that. don't apply filters to tele lens
Nice Topaz-enhanced shots of the woodpecker.
If the GH6 is anything like the G9, firmware updates will make big improvements down the line.
The best part of this footage is how steady it is. Blackmagic would be impossible to get steady at all. For actual use Panasonic is the best but it would be fun to see the black magic in action for entertainment purposes. You would get probably get quite a few videos out of it.
Same here, I enjoy his GH6 footage much better than the A7S one thanks to the stabilization instead of swaying city
That's why people buy mft cameras for 2000+ eur even though there are apsc and ff cameras with 10bit 4k etc for less. Nothing ruins footage like shakint, and these cameras lets you shoot handheld without gimbals. Used and S5 the past year and nope, the stabilization isn't quite there. Massively better for stills though.
Mate, you're going to absolutely hate the usability of the BMPCC 4K... It will make some fine content! Some fine fine content with angry Casey.
Why not try the GH6 in 12 bit ProRes Raw with an external recorder? I read 1900MB/s. These specs are insane. Before you get the Z9, you need to try this. You are the little Panny horsey. Let it out of the stable
12 bit + 1900MB/s and slow it down in Topaz
This sounds intruiging
Do a video on the Sony 100mm STF GM
Not the fastest but the most natural TONEY but I can't find anyone showing it in darker areas showing the settings
Despite the advantages of the Sony in terms of image options -- the stabilization of the GH6 beats Sony like Hulk Hogan beats Colonel Hogan.....
Love the footage of the gh6..love birds but not in a movie but on a plate..I will eat them all..jammie..they shit on youre car and make weird sounds..that's not a bird song..thanks for the vid..have a nice weekend..
I would be very curious to see you try out the Canon EOS M with the magic lantern software. Some would swear by it and it's probably the lightest setup for (according to the reviewers) high quality image.
Your telephoto lens will need an adapter because the horrid selection of Canon M telephoto lenses are dark enough that it will look like you are shooting in a cave and have resolution that screams, "I am an awful kit lens!!!" at the top of its lungs. Adapters tend to work great for stills on a tripod, and not so much for video. And the video modes are limited. But if you already have (for instance) a nice collection of Canon L glass, it might be worth an experiment to see how it goes.
Somewhat a Satriani vibe to one of the tunes in this episode...
I haven't had a chance to watch this yet but really looking forward to it. I've seen a few suggestions recently to Kasey that he make a video showing how to get great shots with pretty much any gear. Great to know he really reads and responds to his audience!
Gamble on that firmware magic. Pannyboy is still holding its trap card.
That YELLOW bird is an EVENING GROSBEAK. Your welcome!
If I was in Canada I would lend you my Z9 in exchange for tips on how to use the video features in cameras. I have this thing which everyone says is great for video and I only know how to take stills.
I think it's time for a Camera Conspiracies Video Masterclass.
Agree
Keep the Pani until you can milk no more from that camera and lens. Once you get a clear sunny day to have fun with and the best fun ever controling highlights. Your going to love it.
I guess I'm weird lol. The gh6 and 100-400 is what i use for wildlife photography. Í want to learn more about videography and get more from my gh6

Thank you.
LOL - I crack myself up, It'll be easier for you to split an atom with a small hammer and sharp chissel.
Freefly Systems has unveiled a new slow-motion camera called EMBER. The camera is capable of capturing 5K 600fps & 4K 800fps in ProRes to an internal 4 TB SSD.
The glimmer glass does add something but if it increases the difficulty for wildlife shooting, is there a glimmer glass equivalent effect which you could do in post?
Well, If it's anything to go by, I'm a Sony user who doesn't like bird photography. Still, I enjoy these clips from the Panny. They're very crisp with great colours. The 300p is too soft, though.
The Panasonic footage looked amazing ngl makes me want that lens and I don’t even do wildlife lmao
Don't get rid of the Pany. After, you'll no longer have anything smaller than a Sony FF with a bazooka attached.
I really like the new song 🎵🥁🎤🎶
“I’ve never been mean to Nikon” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol, I sold my G9 after I got my GH6 and I shoot mostly photos, like 10% video :)
Overexpose sky, safe shadows and use Sky replacement (DRS 18.1). ;-)
Got my R6 mk ii a few days ago. I really love this thing, it’s everything the original R6 should have been. I’m not a wildlife guy, but for vlogs and “cinematic” automotive content this this is perfect for me. Try one out if you get the chance.
If you're looking for a replacement for the Sony X3000 have you considered the MINOX ACX-100 ?
Next level CGI right here
Keep the Panasonic and buy some cheap/old cameras to test and try to beat what other TH-camrs do with high end gear. Thinking Olympus EM10 III or IV, Panasonic GX80, Canon M50, 80D and the likes.
Well of course a Canadian would say "more, eh".
At 12:00 that’s the moneyshot!
That is why I would love to get the S1 (can't afford S1H), get panny boy looks, and stable, manual focus of course, and no high noise grain from looser M43 sensors. I will never buy into the sony alien technology. As an L glass Canon user for the past 12 years.....Canon have lost their way......they shafted us on the M mount, and screwing us on the (heavy, expensive , closed to third party ) Rf mount.
Wait for the S5H
I'd love to see some Blackmagic footage.
Have you ever experimented with different light metering modes for back lit subjects ?
Can you do that same focus hack on the Sony with the big glass?
I find I don't need to, but no. You'd have to actually shoot in monochrome.
I have a very good cheap combo: a6400 + sony 200-600 f5.6-6.3
Great Lifehack!
What song is that at 7 minutes? :)
Selling GH6 for the rumored Panasonic cameras with phase detect sensor, coming imminently?
(Presumably)
Did panyboy fix the banding issue? Have we even noticed?
3:31 What was the actual distance between yourself and the bird? What is the equivalent focal length of the 200?
400mm FF equiv. No idea, but he was very close.
The videos are nice and all, but did you get any photos?
Especially for wildlife filmers MFT and to a lesser extend APS-C is the perfect compromise. Barely anyone will see the difference in picture quality, but you will get the reach you need much easier, with much less weight and much less money, than full format requires. Both, Olympus and Panasonic MFT cameras are that good right now, that the camera and its restrictions is the least problem you have to produce convincing wildlife videos.
What I find particularly amusing are those videographers which complain about last 0,5% missing to absolute sharpness they identify when pixel peeping at 200% - and than use Mist filters or Glimmer Glass filters.
Hey! What about that DR Boost?
8:25 what a weird glitch was that?
Rendering error.
I love you man.
Beginner to photography. Looking to do product + family/ wedding photography. Do I go with an RP in hopes to improve and get a better canon down the line. Or do I get a Used Fuji XT3 , maybe XT4? Also what are your thoughts on extended warranties.
Thank you
Used X-T3 and 16-55 is probably the best value for wedding photography in fuji system fwiw (no need for 4 or 5 for a beginner who doesn’t do video)

Greetings
3:05 Pooped right in front of you. You can even see it after it flies away.
Is it just me...and yes I could be very wrong on this, but doesn't Panasonic color science totally blow Sony and Canon out of the water? Sony has a yellow tint and greens are exaggerated (well known). Canon seems to have some red/magenta hues. Some of this footage had beautiful and balanced colors to me.
My personal interest lies in S1. Anyone want to warn me away from the S1? I am aware of the bad autofocus?
Just curious, are using all Intra files for the topaz slomo?
How is it that I've only just subscribed... feck.
I bought the Panasonic/Leica 200 2.8 used for around £1k sterling. Paired with my Olympus EM 1 mkiii it's almost magical (I don't do video). It's worth staying with MFT just to be able to use that lens. All up weight is under 2 kilos - how much would a full frame weigh with a 400 mm 2.8 (ok Tony 5.6)?
Can you use it without the lens hood? I'm surprised how compact it is without that giant lens hood...
It would probably flare bad, and I wouldn't trust myself walking through bushes with that front element exposed.
So you took my advice on the monochrome and red.
I come for the knowledge, but stay for the irreverent sense of humour. 😅
Rumor It looks like Panasonic and DJI are jointly testing a new focusing method. The new system is said to utilize the LiDAR focus technology released with the Ronin 4D.
I’d rather watch your TH-cam videos than avatar 2 in theaters
I can’t decide on getting the Pan/Leica 100-400 to pair with my OM-1.
why are you never hap…
ahhh, I just realised the concept behind your channel. my mistake
I dunnnooo.. GH6 ($1800) + Leica 2.8 ($3000) (USD) = $4800. You already have the A7SIII and Sony 200-600..I feel like that would be better even without the tele converter since the panny setup is only 400mm. Either way you're talking 5 grand. Is it better than an A7IV in apsc mode? Or an a6600? Or a canon R7 with the $500 100-400?? Also factor in the Topaz video AI (like $250 regular I think?) with a PC powerful enough to use it.
There is some magic to the shots missing in the Sony. Can't deny you can get some special shots with the Panny setup
Can you do 1080 300 p or 4k120 or 5.7 k60 with sony 660 or 74? You cant, case closed
@@castielvargastv7931 hence topaz video AI. if he's upscaling the footage anyway, it negates the same need for a camera that has it native. As many of his videos have shown, upscaled footage looks just as good as native.
@@danielnyman1070 uoscaled does not look as good and you cant fake 4k120 or hd 240/300 upscaling also costs lots of Time, energy cost and you need an expensive fast computer. I film in 6k, grade it and done
