Re: First Impressions of the GH5
On mobile devices up to this date the best you can get for 4K/60p via the YouTube app is 1080/60p. Unlike 4K/30,25,24p which are still playable up to 1440/30,25,24p if both the screen and chipset...

Re: C100 MKii Newbie C log question
I'm a frequent user of the C100xx and agree with Gary that on this particular camera at least the Wide DR mode is almost always the best starting point if you can't control the lighting. Log gamma,...

Re: New Panasonic GH5 Official
Steve, Saramonic has external audio solutions that can be mounted to the bottom of the camera or on top via the cold shoe. Both have XLR input(s) with 48V phantom power. The downside is they need a...

Re: New Panasonic GH5 Official
I would make a guess right here the AF in 25p won't be the equal of that in 50p considering the way contrast detection AF works. Maybe better than the hopeless continuos AF on the GH4 but it sure...

Re: New Panasonic GH5 Official
Problem with the Canon 70D, 80D and all the rest that have dual pixel AF in HD is that even when they nail the focus down to the millimeter the image still looks soft. It normally looks OK for...

Re: New Panasonic GH5 Official
The clips graded great too using only FCPX. No Resolve, no fancy plugins and using only my imagination with no LUT. It should be one hell of a video camera.

Re: New Panasonic GH5 Official
It's good to know too that once the XLR pod is plugged in the camera's built-in analog-to-digital converter, and hopefully the preamp as well, that receives the input via the camera's 3.5mm jack can...

Re: New Panasonic GH5 Official
I also like Canon's video image but to be realistic the best you can hope for on the next 6DII or whatever is maybe a flipout screen which is a defining feature of most Canon's lower end DSLRs to...

Re: New Sony AX-53 Testing
One thing I didn't try on the AX55 but should have is the 100fps (or 120fps for you) mode. Does the footage overall look the same as it does at 50/60p? I used to shoot at 1080/100p on the pocketable...

Re: New Sony AX-53 Testing
That's interesting. I have done a side by side comparison between the two cameras, AX100 abd AX55 (It's AX53 with a projector), a few times but all in 4K at which the AX100 is sharper, and has better...

Re: For the non-believers -FZ2500/2000 is out!!
One thing to keep an eye on this FZ2000/2500 whenever it comes out is the AF. The AF on the FZ1000 for me, to put it mildly, is very disappointing. Hunting proned and overall very fickle. Keeps...

About the colors from recent Sony cameras, I suspect there must have been some reasons or trade-offs behind those somewhat off-putting colors. Increased light sensitivity, avoidance of bleeding reds...
