GH6 has better handling, better video, better menus. Sony has great continuous focus.
I actually decided to use the s curve, not to lift the shadows but to lower the highlights just a touch. It helps!
Great review…and funny!
The camera you're filming the overhead product shots with really likes your finger hahahaha
Just got the GH6; I came from a Sony a73 (which is a great cam too). I think the clear button options on the GH6 is super refreshing: I use so much equipment and programs that I prefer a button option for nearly everything I need, it is just less to have to remember and adjust to. However I agree that workflow can be improved once your used to your camera. Nice review, and funny!
if only the cameras could be consistent, and yes, I typically like clear labeled buttons as well, fast to learn as long as it works out, what I didn't like about the older Sony's was the exposure comp wheel and shooting auto modes, switching between photos and movies was a real hassle because of different compensations
Thanks for the video. I have a G9 and need another camera for a secondary angle. GH6 would obviously be better to match the image of the G9, but would it be possible to use the Sony A7IV and get a similar look if I shoot in V log and S Log and put a LUT over them or am I better off just sticking with the GH6 even though I am unhappy with the autofocus of the G9 even on faster lens like a 1.7 or 2.8. Thanks
Sony + SLOG3 + Phantom neutral has a close look to VLOG + nicest 709. there’s a simplicity with Sony in that there’s no boost mode to worry about, it’s good at all light levels. the boost mode on an off is annoying and Panasonic is more geared toward full manual control, while Sony is an automatic tour camera that works very well, not as clean of control compared to Panasonic. Sonys lens selection is on another level, it’s GAS inducing. for instance, the 20-40 f2.8 compares very well to the 10-25 f1.7, smaller, lighter, sharper, it’s disheartening knowing how much I paid for the 10-25 😅
Definitely gh6 autofocus is amazing. Quality and more. 4k 120fps
It really is quite good. The camera is very enjoyable. The most consistent flaw has been the ibis in pixel mode. I think I can replicate the problem consistently now, hope Panasonic addresses the issue in a future firmware.
Can't wait for you to test fx30 , esp low life , I mean light 🕯️, great video man
You and me both!
Assuming, this video is shot using a Sony camera, the AF is definitely not perfect, as there are quite a few times the auto-focus cuts in and out…
…
I have all camera Formats, excepting Medium Format. Different câmera sensors for every case.
I have a Benro Aero 2 tripod, and it has the locking pin in the camera plate. It costs less than $250 on Amazon. I didn't realize I had the pin on the camera plate until I got a GH6... and there it was!
nice find, will Google
@@CharlieVN I've had the Benro Aero for 3 years, and it is a good, small, compact tripod. I can recommend it.
Hey! Great video comparison! I wonder if it's easier for you to operate the Sony because you're used to using it compared to the GH6. Would it be easy to use for someone who just started using both cameras for the first time?
it's not so straight forward. The A7iv has a newly designed menu, unlike it's predecessor, while the GH6 has a menu more similar to a G9, which I previously owned, and the G85 isnt that far off either. I have the sony preference mainly because of the separation and secondly the extra wheel. The audio button of the panasonic is something I've come to love, but almost always screw the pooch and hit it on accident, that top record button seems impossible for me to hit based on muscle memory, and I've put in about 40+ hours filming on location with the camera, it's not a small amount. By no means a "big" issue, they have different approaches, panasonic is more mechanical in a sense, and sony is more digital, would love to do more comparisons, just dont have the time, hoping that I can parlay the footage into future videos, but if it doesnt work out, then I'll work on proper comparisons.
You can reprogram all the buttons and dials on the GH6 as well...just have to remember since the labels would be wrong.
definitely, however, I’m against that for the reason you mention. it’s a minor nitpick, kind of like Sony not having shutter angle
Can the Sony a75 film 4:3 4k for long periods of time...
I currently have the GH5, might upgrade to the sony next year...
gh5 good although would prefair 4:3 on 4k 30/25fp3 for ticktok 9:16 & youtube 16:9,
Awesome video :)
nope, it cannot film that aspect ratio
I have the GH6. It has better features for shooting videos. The Sony overheats on me when I used Sony. The a7IV is great for photography.
I probably have logged over a hundred hours this summer with the A7iv, outdoors, not even a warning, however, spending time in the menu can cause it to overheat 🤣🤣🤣. will probably consolidate gear a little, the GH6 will be my high framerate camera, and grab another A7iv (sell off Siii), like using them for different projects.
@@CharlieVN I might grab the a7IV someday. The GH6 has a built in fan to cool down the camera when shooting long videos. The Sony doesn't and it'll overheat outside shooting these videos. I live in Hawaii and I have had trouble with my gear in the past when I film outside because of the sunlight and heat. The GH6 with the fan fixes most of this.
I have 2 GH6 cameras but i will sell one of them and buy a A7 IV. I feel like I really need a full frame for doing real estate. Anyone agree with me?
Thank you, nice presentation. I'd have liked to actually see the difference in image quality. Maybe you can do a follow up? Because all the other things are a coin toss or preference. But the quality of the image is the bottom line. Some reviews have said the difference is only noticeable if you do pixel peeping, and rarely if ever noticable to a normal viewer. Your thoughts?
Will do, definitely a thing I do on this channel, I will get to it as soon as I can, have some items to review first, this you can browse through my library for an idea of what’s upcoming, I can probably link to full projects done with the Sony compared to Panasonic in a future video. as of now, the biggest downside of the Panasonic is battery life, I do a lot of on location filming and looking for more batteries, I don’t like being tied down with continuous power. comparison to the A7siii to come after I’m done comparing the A7iv, those are the cameras I own and use.
@@CharlieVN Sounds great, thank you! I'd love to see a few comparisons between the GH6's 25mp sensor vs the Sony's full frame. I don't mind if there is an advantage to the Sony image. I would be surprised if the FF didn't give some advantage. My question is, how much advantage, right? Via the standard 25mp, so during daylight, low light, dynamic range and noise. And I understand Sony has a high res as well, but that it is done in post-camera software? Maybe a HR comparison, if that is of interest to you as well. Thanks!
Dp review has a pretty accurate studio scene for video. The 5.7 k video of Gh6 blows out of the water and runs circles against Sony A74 in detail and sharpness. Go and watch it. For photos it's obvious that the 33mpx sensor is gonna be superior to the 25mpx one, but Pana has the high res handheld, which again beats Sony any day of the week.
@@adrianpocea2287 Thank you Adrian. I will look for it. I'm not sure I agree that a 33 mp sensor will blow away a 25mp one. All else equal, I truly doubt anyone would see the difference. That 8 mp advantage is barely 1/3 increase. In my experience you need at least a 50% boost, and really more like a doubling of resolution to see the benefits of increased resolution. That said, yes, I am loving the high res mode!!!!
It’s rare to hear someone say Sony’s menu system is superior…interesting. Good video overall.
Hey, thanks! Bionz xr changes everything. not only is it touch, it's a layered system that is very fast to access.
panasonic has a similar water fall style menu, but there are a few things off. Cant scroll the whole menu in one direction, some portions make you go sideways. User/Starred at the top for sony, in the middle for panasonic, why in the center, when the top is easier to access? Cant toggle crop mode on a custom button, the way variable frame rate is used vs s&q? In the grand scheme, these are more nit picks than major flaws.
@@CharlieVN I think that can be due to you being more familiar with the A7IV menu because Lumix has been always famous for being really good to handle and to have really good menus
With the smaller sensor, gh6 must be able with 4k 180fps or 6k 120fps
not sure it can read that fast, it’s relatively slow compared to something like the Siii. on top of that, not sure the battery can handle, the camera runs kinda hot with long sessions
@@CharlieVN hehe just my opinion bro comparing to the more heavy load processing on bigger format that 4k 120p is common..
@@CharlieVN at the end of the day, story are more important than the camera spec..
You don’t know what your talking about when it comes to operating the GH6! You can customize it and you can press record for “Video” in about any mode not just in the video mode.
If I'm in M for instance, I want to see that it's in video mode, as the settings are vastly different than when I'm using stills. Can you point me to a video that shows how to do this? Basically, I would like all the modes to default to video rather than stills. Granted, I've only shot with panasonic for three years, and much longer with Sony, still doesnt change the fact that I use it a ton, and still do.
the gh6 can record 28mbs and lower in mp4...
in 4K 10 bit?
I like your videos but this video, the lighting was pretty harsh.
thanks, unfortunately, main light broken, $25 key light (doubled as product lights) 😂, small TH-camr problems
you can tell it is a SONY fan boy doing this.
Yeah the first 6 minutes were purely subjective and just bc he's used to using the Sony.
GH6 is great for video shooters more bang for the buck than sony
A7IV: small body, big stuff
GH6: big body, small stuff
😄😄😄
Sony fanboys: big mouths, always trolling, always passive aggressive, always unsecure and trolling on other people's reviews and camera systems.
But , regardless, your statement is absolutely bull, as Gh6 is jam packed with features that Sony A74 wouldn't even dream at having. Any camera with a 1.7 crop nowadays in 4k60p is a heavily crippled camera.
@@adrianpocea2287 its not crippled, you adapt around that limitation if you're a so called pro. I have the A7IV and it's amazing regardless of the crop.
@@adrianpocea2287 Do you know that FF 1.7x crop is still bigger than M43, to be exact GH6 is born as a 2x cropped dwarf laughing at a tall man keened down who is still taller.
Sony - Lower return on original high investment cost
Panasonic - Higher return on a lower investment cost
Asians lol Would you be able to dropbox some 300 FPS files for us to edit and grade?
