    How many of you guys have shot with MFT in the past? Do we have any OG GH4/GH5 users?!

    •  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Yes, I use my GX80 and GH5 actively alongside my S5.

      I have an Olympus E-M1 MK II camera. I bought it instead of a GH5 / GH5 II because my teeenage son needed a camera to use. I loaned him my S5 (original) first to test out, and the AF was, not surprisingly, unusable in his tests. So we got the E-M1 MK II with the Firmware 3.0 update and no more AF problems. Also, on an unrelated topic (but still sticking with Lumix cameras), Panasonic really needs a full frame lens that starts at around 16mm and goes to 60mm, AND has lens stabilization, if they are going to continue with the aps-c crop on their full frame cameras when shooting in 4K 50p / 60p. That would give someone the ability to get an equivalent of 24mm full frame when shooting 4K 50p / 60p on the full frame cameras. The reason for lens stabilization (in addition to IBIS) is to avoid the crop incurred when using some of the IBIS stabilization modes that reduce corner warping.

    For me MFT is excellent. I film live theatre, concerts and dance shows with multiple cameras. The deeper focus is actually a big advantage is this situation. I have two GH5’s, one GH5 Mk2, and one GH6. I have owned a GH3, a GH4, and an AF100.

      So you will always bring a s9 with you but never shoot with it, because gh7 is supposed to be used for shooting everything you can imagine? is s9 a neck muscle trainer? (Question from someone who often debugs code)

      @@nahlene1973 hahahah kinda like a loop error code eh? The s9 is perfect for family gatherings and little trips around town etc!
      gh7 works well for taking to the park and shoot wildlife and everything inbetween cause of the lens options and frame rate options and quality of video codecs! Also i've been using it for test shoots before actual film shoots cause of the variety of shots it can tackle (close focusing, macro, wide angle, telephoto, gimbal-like-movement)

  • @marin_real_estate_photography
    @marin_real_estate_photography 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

    Thanks for the video, Josh: The two things I would like to see are 1) A comparison of the video picture profiles (other than V-LOG) on the GH7 vs the S5 II (or S5 IIX). I ask because a lot of people say that there is too much noise reduction built in to the S5 II / IIX in picture profiles other than V-LOG. So I would like to know if the GH7 (or G9 II) has that same problem with too much noise reduction in profiles other than V-LOG. The second thng would be real-world dynamic range differences between the GH7 and S5 II / IIX (this time USING V-LOG). If I were to have a bonus comparison, it would be shooting in the Arri Log compared to shooting in V-LOG, then doing a color space transform in Resolve to Arri Log, and seeing how much of a difference there is. Thanks!!!

    I use the lumix G9 and a canon 5DIII for FF when needed with a 70-200mm f2.8L IS and 85mm f1.4 SamYang. I think there is a strong case for having both systems.
    The selection of small high quality lenses available in MFT is unbeatable. There are a few lenses that epitomise the benefits for me:
    - Olympus 45mm and 75mm f1.8
    - Panasonic 14-140mm f5.3 II
    - Olympus 75-300mm
    - Panasonic 9mm f1.7
    All these are outstanding lenses and incredibly small compared with FF counterparts.
    The main gap in the system is the lack of updated versions of the Olympus digital retro form Pen F and Gx9.

    • @JoshCameron
      @JoshCameron  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Do you think the Pen F will ever make a return?
      I totally understand the benefits of having smaller lenses, it’s just so much nicer to use

    • @Democratiser
      @Democratiser 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@JoshCameron I would be surprised if the Pen F doesn’t return at some point. The question will be whether its functionality is significantly updated. If so it should be a winner.
      The other thing about MFT is that the lenses and smaller cameras (esp the smaller Oly and GX9 etc) are closer in size to many of the popular film era cameras. I think the form factor peaked with cameras like the original OM-1 and Minolta X-300. Unfortunately FF can’t yet be packaged small enough but MFT is there.

Ex: I do restaurant shoots indoors and often don't have control of the lighting. 80%+ of the time, I'm at f/2.8 on my Sony full frame cameras to help reduce noise. I want to see how the GH7 handles a similar situation and if the footage will hold up noise wise.

    Recommendations?

    • @realtvlab
      @realtvlab 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you're a stills shooter first and also do wild life photography, so logically you don't want to be carrying massive lenses around with you, then the obvious choice is the Lumix G9II.
      And you can pair that with the new 100-400mm Pana-Leica lens, which is a 200-800mm full frame equivalent!
      And the IBIS on the G9II is the best in the world, so you can even shoot handheld at 800mm and still get steady shots!
      No, I'm not joking.
      And if you have the time, please feel free to let us know what you eventually settled on.
      Best of luck 🙂

    Why I still hesitate: I'm wandering if the full frame really is so much bigger than the the mft (not the body in this case but lenses. I am wandering if size would make me leave the camera at go
    home.
    In this case, I know both bodies are big, but don't want to go for the S9.

      If you are more of an video shooter take gh7, if you are more photo guy take s5II. It is much easier to make a great shot using m4/3, you have much more stability (which is essential)
      you have fantastic range of fps on your disposal, and thing that every YTer talk's about consigning m4/3 low light performance, put anything faster then f2 and there is no difference
      to FF cameras consigning low light, quality of footage or background blur. Plus and that is a big plus, lenses are much, much more affordable and there is much bigger pool to choose
      from, and that gives you much more options consigning look of your footage, since lens haves more impact on how material looks then camera body itself. I owned and used
      all three sensor sizes so this is from experience not from watching others talk about these topics.

I'm a photojournalist at a TV news station, where we're issued Sony PXW-X400's, but have A7ii's and a couple of FX9's with some proper zooms available for special projects. Full Frame, for all it has going for it, is a giant PITA to work with if you're one man banding, and I end up having to stop down so much in order to keep subjects in focus that it kinda negates the benefits.
    Lord, I miss my old AF-100. if Panasonic sold a spiritual successor to it... not one of their current box cameras, but a proper camcorder with an MFT mount... they would sell a bazillion of them.

    Hi Josh,
    Thanks for that video. I first had GH4 then GH5 then GH6. Then S5 and now S5ii.
    When phase detection AF came to S5ii, I decided to sell the GH6 while it still had some value but kept all m4/3 glass waiting phase detect AF arrived to m4/3.
    Almost bought G9ii but finally waited a bit and just bought the GH7.
    Happy to reuse my micro 4/3 glass:
    .10-25mm 1.7 (but as heavy as a full frame 24-70 2.8 with less reach)
    .35-100 2.8 (so smaller than the 70-200mm 2.8 full frame equivalent)
    .42.5 1.2 (this lens is beast in portrait photography, much better than the equivalent full frame 85mm 1.8)
    .100-400mm (for wildlife and surfing, amazing reach equivalent to 200-800mm full frame but so smaller)
    I am still wondering if it was a good choice to keep m4/3 and L full frame instead of selling all m4/3 to invest in full frame L.
    I must confess that among the criteria’s which lead me to keep the m4/3 in parallel with S5ii and wait for the gh7 , I had in mind:
    .the m4/3 42.5 1.2 Nocticron impossible to replace with the 85 mm 1.8 Lumix
    . The 70-200 2.8 full frame which is so heavy that almost impossible to use in a run and gun situation
    . The 100-400mm m4/3 and it’s incredible reach.
    We see in a few months….

      @Dokumentara 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@NeroMC my answer will mainly concern the pictures, not the video: first reason is that the percentage of failed pictures because of failed autofocus is much higher on the 85mm, second reason is more difficult to explain because there is some kind of magic in the 42.5 1.2 Noctticron that makes all portraits look amazing, even the ugly models will look beautiful with this lens while this is rarely happening with the 85mm which is good but not amazing… Maibe that’s the magic of the Leica signature on the Nocticron.
      In video, when using autofocus, the 85mm with S5ii is much better. I hope that with the GH7 this will be improved but slightly worried as I read about updates for few of the most recent Leica-Lumix m4/3 lenses but not this one….

    I'm sorry. But you have to be really confused if you pick a MFT of the shelf for almost the same amount of money instead of Lumix S5 Full Frame. The GH7 is even bigger the S5. What? You hate more sensor size? You hate having more light? MFT is completely pointless unless you in invested heavily in MFT lens stock.

      I consider buying a GH7 as I love its size and ergonomics. I have an OM-1, and I can't use it comfortably without a grip attached. The GH7 fits perfectly in my hand exactly because it is bigger. I also have a lot of MFT lenses, as you mentioned.

    Human eye size factor. I've been following camera reviews for some times now. MFT has the best view and focal equivalence to the human eyes. Smart phone sensors are small. I can not stand that the portrait I took with my phone didn't look like what I see. Full frame took good pictures, but they didn't look like what I see either. MFT and APSC took pictures that are a lot more like what I see with my eyes.

    Increasing points. Personally the GH7 has so many things I'd never use. Wouldn't justify spending 2k on the camera. Having the S5ii covers everything I need in a camera. Still have the Gh5 that covers what I'll need that for. The Clog and whatever else comes with GH7 will never get me thinking I need it. Would rather get the G9ii and put the extra cash towards a good full frame lens. Since I have plenty of mft lens

Of course that F2.8 MFT lens will be smaller than F2.8 FF, but that's not comparable lens. You have to compare size of F1.4 MFT lens to F2.8 FF lens.

    GH7 = 805gr
    S5iix = 740gr.
    Lumix 10-25 = 690gr
    Lumix 24-105 = 680gr.
    These 2 lenses are equal, in terms of light: F4 vs F1.7 (equivalent to 3.4 in ff). I would also like to note that the 24-105 is (or can be) an all-around lens, while the 10-25 is not.
    Conclusion: WHAT EXACTLY IS THE "ADVANTAGE" OF the mft system? In 2024 and beyond, there is only the FF world (not even apsc...). As long as Panasonic continues to invest in (mft) systems that are slowly dying (if they haven't died already), so much the worse for them.

    • @andersistbesser
      @andersistbesser 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      24-105 is a f4 lense you cant compare it to a 1.7. 1.7 gathers 4 times the light of a 2.8 lense! F4 is pretty dark and even the bokee is better with the mft lense. Advantage of mft? Better rolling shutter, 4k 120, better reach. Smaller lenses. I own a 14-140 which would be a 28-280 in full frame. My lense is super tiny and a full frame would be super huge . I can shoot wide open to get more light without only one eye in focus because of too much booke with full frame. Comparing high end leica mft lenses with cheap kit lenses is a joke to me. You dont get the same image quality out of a 24-105. Mft is Superior for many users in many scenarios. And mft is a much cheaper system as well. There is not a single full frame camera with all the features a gh7 has for the same price.

      I still don't understand how people think that a F 1.7 mft will lens gather the same amount of light as an F 4 Full frame lens. The F stop in a lens is not dependent on the format its designed for, an F 1.7 mft lens will gather the same amount of light as an F 1.7 full frame lens. The only difference you can notice would be in the depth of field which will be considerably shallower on the full frame lens.

    as an MFT user and FF user, i would say it is absolutely terrible investment to go MFT. The 10-25mm f/1.7 lens is literally MORE expensive that something similar in L-Mount. The GH7 is too expensive and it can't even shoot openGate60. For glass - you get what you pay for BUT if you get something equivalent on MFT, it is MORE expensive than buying L-Mount. This GH7 is just far too late to the game. The S5ii literally kills the GH series.
