      I think if you are happy with the GH6, then Panasonic are onto a winner. It looks pretty much like the camera we all hoped for. It’s a little out of my budget at the moment, but I have the feeling that used GH5 models are about to become a little cheaper to buy…

    Great review, you look very pleased.
    The GH6 looks like a big step up from the GH5, especially of you can do back up recording to an external ssd.
    I'd like to take a good look at the internal recording data rates on the cfexpress card and see what the PQ is like.
    Also the price is quite high compared to the S1 and S5, so for those of us who film with cine lenses, the FF bodies with their better low light, DR, and depth of field control are still the way to go (imho)

    Really like the new look of your videos and the skin tones have a nice pink look to them. I'm a fan of pink as it has a retro look. I think the pink look came from Hong Kong some company that made film back in the 1970's. There was a filmmaking app that I used on my old iPhone 3GS that gave description of the pink look from Hong Kong. Also the pink look reminds me of the really old Kung Fu movies.

    • @MicroFourNerds
      @MicroFourNerds  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      There has been a comment here suggesting it doesn’t do very well with that specific stock lens, as it was the stock lens I got with the S1, and not the S5… but it’s an official lumix lens with the latest firmware, so I don’t know to be honest! You’d hope you could use any official lens and get the best results
      I will say, in real world situations, the s5 doesn’t feel that bad at all, I’ve never had any problems with it. So the results of this test surprised me to be honest!

    @ddsdss256 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the review, but a huge negative of the GH6 is the lack of any provision for a battery grip (emphasis on the "grip"--mine rarely leaves my G9). As a stills photographer who rarely does video (and in those rare cases, the G9 has plenty of capability for my needs), often shoots in portrait mode, and uses the Leica 100-400 quite a bit, this is a deal-breaker. They've also dropped some stills-oriented features, plus I don't need the fan (and don't care for the extra bulk it requires) or most of the video features, impressive though they are. I'd also like to see the 5.76 MP EVF (but with the G9's 0.83x mag). If I were a videographer. I'd jump on the GH6, but despite the fact that the G9 is the sixth Lumix camera I've purchased, if a direct replacement for the G9 doesn't materialize in the not-too-distant future, I'll be seriously considering the OM-1. I have two Oly camaras already, but I prefer the Lumix ergo and most of my MFT lenses are Leica or Lumix.

    Expensive start of the year for me, as I'm a Canon + Panasonic shooter and mainly video-centric. So you make the math and guess, which two bodies I've pre-ordered. Exciting times at the same though. Panasonic most certainly has knocked the goalposts out of the ballpark with the GH6 .. especially at that price point .. beating some of the cameras in the 4-5k bracket.
    The thing, I was sad to see, is that the live streaming has not been carried over to the GH6 from the GH5 II, but well, I still have the GH5 II for that. Everything else is just superb.
    It's also funny to see, that both the engineers at Canon and Panasonic have taken similar approaches to achieving higher quality footage. In the GH6, all modes up to 120fps are oversampled 5.7k. In the Canon R5C all modes up to 60fps are oversampled 8k. Both the GH6 and the Canon R5C introduced 4 channel audio recording in camera. Both cameras have been fitted with an internal fan to guarantee limitless recording. And there's lots more.
    I'm looking forward to the firmware updates though, like ProRes in 4k and 1080p, external recording to SSD, 4k120 raw via HDMI to Ninja V+, etc. Panasonic is the first after Blackmagic (to my knowledge) to utilize the USB-C port in a mirrorless (or DSLR) body to be able to store SSD, and that gives fantastic flexibility.

      @@MicroFourNerds I've been using Panasonic since the GH4 for most video as Canon wasn't anywhere ready. So I stuck with my 5D Mk3 for photo and didn't upgrade until last year, when I got an EOS R. Still use the 5D Mk3 more and my Panasonic (by now a GH5 & GH5 II). So the EOS R5C will be the first Canon (for me), that will fit both brackets. But there is one thing you can't beat M43 for: when it has to be light weight and Panasonic just excels when it comes to IBIS and hand held shooting, so yes, a GH6 is also coming. It certainly makes for a better B camera and in some scenarios even A Camera, than the EOS R, which is just soulless.

      My favourite setting is “single point auto focus, plus face detect”. This gives you a little box to point the camera in the right direction, but it will automatically track faces if anything comes out of that area as well. Works very well in my experience 😊

    Amazing review. Thanks. 12:08 doesnt it seem like gh6 is applying a lot of NR? I think GH5 would look the same similar NR is applied on the post. The pattern on the rotating dial is almost gone on the GH6. I have a G9 and still on the fence if I should get a GH6 (considering only due to low light and higher bitrate). Possible to share the gh5 and gh6 raw videos from 12:08? Would be very helpful to decide. Thank you.

    • @MicroFourNerds
      @MicroFourNerds  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I totally get what you mean, the gh6 does a lot of processing internally for noise. On the whole I think it does a great job, but maybe with future updates there will be more user controls in the menus to turn it up, down, or off. At the moment that’s just how the video comes out of the camera.
      I think with some good noise reduction software you could get about half way there with the gh5, but (in my experience anyway!) noise reduction plugins are so processor heavy they really add onto my editing and rendering time, so I’m glad there’s less work times do with the gh6 files 😊

    After watching Patrick Tomasso and Gerald Undone I was left feeling a bit underwhelmed by the GH6. But your review alongside Potato Jets was far more positive.
    I'm a full frame shooter but this camera for the first time has interested me in M43.
    The 10-25 f1.7 is exactly the focal range and fstop I use in my work.
    The thought of going into my work with one lens is really uplifting (literally). 😆
    Question is it fast to move back and forth from photo to video for hybrid work.

    • @MicroFourNerds
      @MicroFourNerds  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That lens is just amazing, and one of the strengths of the system how you can have one lens to replace several others!
      It’s very fast to switch between photo and video, there’s a few ways to do it. You can use your C modes on the dial - there are 4 - so you could have your favourite two video settings and then two photo settings and you’d just have to switch one dial for everything to change. This even presets shutter speeds and colour profiles so very fast.
      Another way to do it is set your most used video function, and shoot away in aperture mode, then whenever you press the red button for video it’ll automatically start recording in the last settings on the movie dial

      I have had the gx85, it’s a great camera! I think the gh6 is a completely different beast, and very video centric. I might wait until they inevitably refresh the G9 line with these new photo features. The bodies might be smaller (no need for a fan!) and it’ll be cheaper because you pay mostly for the video features on gh6. If it’s more for video, the gh6 is amazing 😁

      I think there might be an element of that, the gh6 was definitely the one in the best position. I tried to make it as fair as possible, but the space I had was very small. I also think, watching it back, because the wireless monitor was on the gh6, I tended to look down or away (at the monitor) when I was testing the gh6, which might have helped as well because my face wasn’t as visible.
