Re: 4k vs in-camera stabilisation
My wife would kill me if I"d get another camera. Have been looking at several vimeo videos from Vadim Action made with his em5 and although I do see codec breackup on high detailed scenes, other close ups he did with a shallow dof are gorgeous.
I have said it before that shooting at 30p in pal land worries me but since I only would be using it for brideprep, photoshoot and any other closeup, shallow dof beauty shots (using a 75mm at f1.8 and a macrolens) I could just slow the footage down to 25p as sound wouldn't matter, I even could use my vintage tamron adaptall 80-210 lens handheld, that would be something. I"d prefer to get a EM1 but that's the price of the GH4 and at that price I would prefer the GH4 but the second hand EM5 I saw now sells with a 30% discount and I get a one year warranty so it's about half the price of EM1 now.
Will have to think it over a bit. Being able to shoot handheld with fast primes is very tempting.
I came across below video done with the em5, the owner also says the image breaks up on high detail motion scenes (you can see it happening at 01:11 when he pans to the right trying to follow that monkey, the image falls apart on the fence) but if you choose your image carefully and apply the right amount of shallow dof, man, the image just pops from your screen. 4K will happen anyway for me as well, sooner or later, but having pana gh3 and sony rx10 sharpness right now is plenty for me (and my clients) to go by the next 1 or 2 wedding seasons, add some shake free fast prime beautyshots that I can take on the fly and I"m all set for the time being, to convince my clients I"m on the cutting edge of camera development I could just put a 4K sticker on all my camera's, most never will see the difference anyway on their 1080p screen. ;). I guess I can always sell the omd em5 if it doesn't work out like I hope, How would that sound as a sales pitch to convince my wife? :)
