I do want to say that If you are interested in buying the FZ1000 for film making purposes do bear in mind that the FZ1000 DOES NOT stream live to a monitor when filming. and the tripod mount is offset for some reason so mounting it on a rig with a follow focus or stuff like that will get tricky.
The top image only looks better in regards to sharpness to my eye. I believe that could very well be attributed to the different lenses. Panny makes notoriously sharp glass, the Tokina 11-16 however, has always been very soft wide open.
very hard to tell - but I know that the FZ1000 tends to over expose - at least compared to the Sony RX10 - but shows that both are a great value - and of course the FZ1000 is a great allaround family camera with it focal range
Off topic but I'm interested in how the speedbooster affects image quality, especially if using quality character lenses like the Panny Leica 25mm f1.4, Voightlanders, Olympus 45mm and 75mm etc etc . Last question is how the Sigma compares with the Panny 12-35 which is a brilliant match on the GH4 especially in 4K. Ta
Hi Marc, those m43 lenses won't work speedboosted as you need larger lenses like Nikon or Canon ones. The speedbooster overall will not loose any sharpeners (genuine metabones) but may give you slightly less sharp corners. Depending I'd shooting in 1080 or 4k (better in 4k as its more cropped). It also may introduce a very slight amount of moire. Both of these are very small and won't be noticed unless your testing for it. Metabones are also releasing a "ultra" versions that have improved glass which is crazy as it almost perfect already!
Hi Max, Thanks for the informative videos! I am looking at this camera to shoot beauty videos for TH-cam. Would you recommend it? Also, do I need to do anything special to post the 4K video to TH-cam and if so is it a difficult process? Thanks!
I think its a great starter camera. More importantly for video is lighting. 4K is harder on your computer so it will take longer other than that no changes compared to 1080P.
Hi Max, would a gx85 have less noise with these lens: 14mm-42mm f3.5-5.6 45mm-150mm f3.5-5.6 I personally wish for a similar fz1000 with just less noisy low light pictures & videos
Hello I'm from Germany and I really enjoy your videos. Great ! I want to buy the FZ1000 next year. The current price here is about 650€ and thats phenomenal. But I have one question: Why are the images of the FZ1000 a bit green(er) in lowlight ? Has it something to do with the whitebalance ? Thanks and greetings from Germany! :)
I think it is not true. I have both cameras. In low light fz1000 is a litle bit better than GH4. And Fz1000 never had a green(er) aspect in low light. So, I don't know what you want to prove but I think it's totally wrong what you say.
FZ1000 is known to be a bit brighter than the GH4. Also a bit sharper as you proven in these videos. The profiles are brighter and sharper when comparing apples to apples but not when custom configured. Surprised your FZ did so well all the way up to 3200. In low light usually falls off earlier. I picked the top being FZ since I know its limitations.... I use the profile on my FZ: vimeo.com/95589923 Someone in another video said the G7 blows away the FZ but I beg to differ. Would like to see a video from you on this Max if you can get your hands on a G7.
your audio sucks! please please get a better microphone. your microphone sounds like it is muffled or a high pass filter like you are severely treating the audio in a bad way. i use awesome monitors so it make s a huge difference for me.
david valens Hey David, This video is particularly bad, I think Its because my mouth was too close to the lav because of the way I was sitting. Would you be able to watch a couple of my other vids ( newer ones ) and let me know about the audio, Is it all of them or just some? Thanks!
FZ1000 on Amazon➡ geni.us/a3aiBA + bhpho.to/10zx5HY GH4 on Amazon► geni.us/MfqQN5k
Waiting for a review from your side regarding the FZ2000

I instantly id'd the top image as the FZ1000, which I have. It's a great cam for the price and video quality.
Definitely!
really good video max..glad i bought the fz1000. it really is great value for money..keep up the excellent work
DarkArtsRecords1 Thank you!
It still is after six years
I am really liking your videos. It is clear that you really try to help us figure things out. Thanks
gee sea Thanks Gee Sea! :) Glad I could help!

Very true!
The fz1000 was really alot greener when at 3200/6400

Thank you very much for all your videos, it's very helpful)
Yeah, thank you again man!!! Very nice job!!!
ilusaosemlimite Thanks!
Which is best for recording youtube videos 750d or d5500 or lumix g7 or fz1000
I'd choose g7
+Max Yuryev Thanks

What lens are you using on the gh4?
Dre Allen It's the Tokina 11-16 2.8 non speed boosted @1t9XO5K

Yes that was a pretty easy guess :)

The Gh4 shot up in price. Now $1700.
It was always $1700, or $1698.00
Top camera looks better. My guess is that the top is the FZ1000
yea down is the gh4

The fz 1000 looks way better!
