What camera is everyone using right now? Do you have plans to upgrade with the new year around the corner?!
None of the new cameras that focus more on video just whoa me plus they are crazy expensive. I think I will continue with my trusty gh5 & g85.
@Inspirational Talks & Video If it's not broke don't fix it haha. I kinda feel the same way as of right now. The only way I could move away from the cameras I have is if a camera had as good of autofocus as my Sony and if it had 10 bit recording for $2.5k or under. If it can charge over usb while in use or record over USB like the BMPCC 4k then I could easily jump to something else. We will see though! Thanks for watching!
pro tip: watch series on flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Dwayne Collin Yea, I have been watching on Flixzone} for months myself :)
Hello, awesome review!
I am currently using:
Canon C100 MKII - video
Canon R6 MKII - video
Canon 5D MKIV - photos
Canon 90D - photos & video
Sony a6400 - video & photos (travel)
Incredible comparison. Thank you.
What a great video! I always love all your broll. So much good information too!
Thanks so much!
Wow this was an amazing video and then I see you only have 2k subscribers, I would’ve thought you were in the millions with the quality of this content
Haha thanks! I really appreciate the kind words. Hopefully one day that will be the case!
Amazing Reviews!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the comparison. Looking for a first camera, mainly for short documentaries (interview indoor/outdoor, walking and filming) and for photography (secondary use).
Sony a6400 video in your test looks nice, amazing auto focus. However as you said gimbal may be needed for steady image.
Perhaps in post-prod you GH5 can produce better video.. I just wonder if as a beginner I should start focus on all parts... or first on shooting/story/compositions etc. In the future more on post prod?
This is such a great and thorough video, thank you for this! 💜 I'm like 90% I'm going to buy the A6400 purely for the autofocus. I wanted to buy the GH5 originally because of the image quality, but my biggest problem is that I walk towards/away from the camera a lot and I move a lot in my videos in general. I shoot 99% of my videos indoors with not the best lighting at the moment, which is why in my old point and shoot canon G7X m3 camera my footage was always covered in noise even if I shot at the brightest time of the day with a ring light. Not sure if I would have to still buy more lighting for the either of these cameras, but would rather stick with less gear in my small apartment. Would love your input on which camera to go with, though I think I may already know your answer!
I think you are on the right track going the a6400 route. It’s autofocus is amazing and it’s lowlight/ISO performance will serve you better as well. The crop factor on the GH5 makes it tough to get wider shots for smaller spaces with out some distortion compare to the Sony. Not sure what lenses you have in mind, but I think the kit lens will be a good start for you and down the line you could always upgrade to the sigma 16mm or 30mm f1.4 for more shallow depth of field and lowlight. You might not need more lighting with this camera, but I always recommend it as good lighting and audio will always go further than the camera you use in my opinion. If you want to keep a low profile for your small space I recommend checking out the Quasar T8 tube lights. They are lightweight, soft source, dimmable, high quality LEDs at a pretty affordable price considering. You can find the 2 foot models for around $45 and the 4 foots for $75. With being light you can literally gaff tape them to the wall if need be so you wouldn’t have to worry about taking up space. The only downside is they require wall power. I might be doing a review on these down the line. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
I shoot weddings, real estate videos and general run and gun style videos. I'm in-between choosing between this two Cameras. I would love to make my final decision as regards what I'll be going for finally.
NB: i planned on getting the 18-35 sigma Lens for any of the camera's i choose.
Great Videos as always 👌
I think the GH5 would be perfect for you, especially for weddings and run and gun shooting with the Sigma 18-35mm on a speed booster. The Sigma will help when you are starving for some light indoors and the IBIS of the GH5 will help with the handheld. Handheld shooting can be tough with the a6400 since it has no IBIS and the poor rolling shutter. For real estate, the GH5 shooting in 4k 60fps on a gimbal with the Tokina 11-16mm has been working well for me. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@JakeMcHugh You're the best. Thank you so much for your response.
I have both just bought the Sony a6400 for auto focus run an gun with gimbal gh5 studio and stils
I like both cameras. There are some pro and cons for both... Could you make a video for matching colors (Sony/Panasonic) in one Timeline? That would be great!!👍 Nice channel,,💪
I'll add that to the list of video topics! I'm glad you are enjoying the content. Thanks for watching!
Thank you
In auto focus part did you colour graded the gh5 video ? Because it looks more vibrant than a6400
Hi! Thanks for this comparison, it is an amazing production value.
May I ask what Auto Focus settings did you use on the GH5 on the side by side to the a6400?
Thanks!
Of Course! My settings are:
AF/AE Lock: AF-On Near
Quick AF: On
Continuous AF: Mode 2
AF Speed: +5
AF Sensitivity: +3
AF Mode: One Area
I also have a video which I mention these settings here if you wanted to follow along: th-cam.com/video/xNNjO76YbhQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching!
@@JakeMcHugh Thanks! Does AF the dial stay on AFC or AFF/AFS ?
@@Radhaugo108 I have it on AFC!
What camera would you suggest for Hip Hop & Trap Music Videos / Studio Vlogs for musicians? I’m learning towards the A6400 for the size, price and decent set of features even though I know the GH5 is the all around better camera.
I would say the a6400 would be the way to go if you plan on not setting up lighting all the time, will be on a tripod/gimbal most of the time, and are going to be shooting yourself mostly since the autofocus is so good. The lowlight on this camera is better so the lack of lighting wouldn’t be as big of an issue granted I recommend getting some to spice up your shots. The tripod and gimbal would be needed because shooting handheld on this camera is a challenge. If you are going be lighting your shots and walking around while vlogging then the GH5 would be nicer because of its IBIS. The 4k 60fps and Variable frame rate would be killer for music videos too. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
What lenses are you using for each camera?
Pretty impressed at how your GH5 held up in AF. Mine struggles quite a bit even when trying to fine tune the settings. Any suggestions?
Make sure your firmware is up to date or at least version 2.6. This camera made big strides once that firmware came out. I recommend checking out this video here to see the exact settings I use (th-cam.com/video/xNNjO76YbhQ/w-d-xo.html). If I recall correctly I just have the custom speed and sensitivity settings up all the way and use One Area for focus mode over face detection. I also find that it gets much more reliable once you get around f2.8-f3.2 and up. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Thanks for the response! I was calculating different autofocus speeds and writing down which settings would work for certain situations,
But yours really held up! Just dropped a little sample run of some vlogs I’ll be releasing now that I’m a few years into filmmaking full time if you have a moment. Cheers and have a great holiday!
Which one would be good for sports
I hope to do some short films or skits at home, while also using it for travelling. Which of the cameras do you recommend? I know the GH5 is way better in terms of quality and has IBIS which is great however I will be doing skits by myself so I will be in front of the camera too so decent autofocus is required. Which do you think would suit my needs more?
Side note since I would like to upload to TH-cam I probably will start by uploading in 1080p, which camera has better 1080p footage?
It really depends on the quality of footage you want. The GH5 is much much better in this regard, even the 1080p footage. If autofocus is a must then you will have to go with the a6400, but if you can get away with using manual focus then the GH5 would be the better option in my opinion. One thing I could have mentioned in the video is that the smartphone app for Panasonic is probably the best on the market and you can pull focus from the app as well. If you are going to be moving around a lot in front of the camera then the autofocus will make life easier, but if you’re going to be in one spot for the most part you can just use the app to pull focus.
As for uploading to TH-cam, the GH5 has the better 1080p footage, but I would edit in a 4k timeline with either camera’s footage and upload in 4k to TH-cam. This will give your footage a lot better viewing quality on the platform. I hope this all helps and thanks for watching!
@@JakeMcHugh Thank you for the great answer, you really cleared things up for me!!
I'm mainly focused on 1080p because I feel my 2015 Macbook pro struggles editing 4k footage on premier pro but I could give it a try!
Ahh good point. I use Final Cut Pro on my 2014 MacBook pro and it can handle 4k fine. Premiere would probably struggle on mine as well 😂
@ItsTahmid Did you buy one of these cameras?
GH5 all the way. The only thing the 6400 has over the gh5 is the auto focus.
For sure. Could you imagine if the GH5 had the autofocus of the a6400?! It would be the perfect camera almost!
@@JakeMcHugh Facts.
nice video
Thank you and thanks for watching!
For solely video the GH5 is still even in late 2020 a hard to beat camera.
For real hybrid work the A6400 is super strong
It still blows my mind how far the GH5 was ahead of its time. I have a hard time wanting to move elsewhere for what I paid for this camera. I love the a6400, it makes shooting fun. Taking photos with this camera is such a joy, but sometimes the 8bit video can be a headache. Thanks for watching!
Is the a6400 good for 2020 or should we wait for the new updated version?
The a6400 is still a very good option depending on what you are doing! I haven’t really heard of anything down the pipeline for Sony yet with its APSC line so I think you could buy it soon with no worries of it being replaced. I think even if they added some of the features it currently lacks it would cost a lot more than what you could get the a6400 for right now. Maybe if someone has any info they could fill us in. Thanks for watching!
Thanks !
Gh5 is my dream camera
It's a nice camera for sure! And it keeps becoming more affordable and is becoming a steal for the price!
landscape wise i think sony looks better with better contrast and sharper image but when its up close vlog style, then i prefer the panasonic
I think the footage holds up better for grading purposes with the GH5, but the autofocus on the a6400 just makes it so easy and fun to use! Can't go wrong with either one. Thanks for watching!
you forgot all the links
Edit: Great video tho
Which links are you looking for? Looks like they are all there on my end. Thanks for watching!
I see them on my end too
@@JakeMcHugh oh. very weird. It must have been my spotty wifi or some sort of glitch. I see them now!
INtresting. I prefer the Sony image quality.
Do you prefer the colors or the image quality? Color can be subjective and I do agree that sometimes the Sony tends to look a little nicer straight out of camera. For actual image quality the GH5 is much better. I can really adjust things in post while on the Sony you have be more careful otherwise you’ll start to get banding and artifacts. Thanks for watching!
@@JakeMcHugh i generally can tell when im looking at a Sony image. I like the images Sony cameras produce. Yes I agree, Lumix provides more robust color profiles.
I would love to try some of the newer Sonys with the 10bit codecs and S cinetone. I think that would be really nice for run and gun shooters!
@@JakeMcHugh is it just me but does Panasonic cameras have more of a digital look ? Sony seems more filmic to me . I’ve owned the g7, g85 and GH5 I want ti move over to Sony
You sound like Siri mate
hahaha this made my day 😂 Thanks!
