New 28MP M43 Sensors being developed by Sony

This article is written weirdly and poorly. And is based on complete fairytales. Megapixels aren’t everything, says the LUMIX GH5s ;)

Why *can't* the BMPCC4k be used for photography?

One of the common features of a photography centered camera is a whole lot of very small photo sites. This helps in post when you need to blow the image up for production needs. Many good cinema cameras, like the Arri Alexa and the BMPCC4K, use very large photo sites that have less noise to achieve

Lens Help

Not sure if it's similar the Lumix 12-35 mm is so nice I got it twice lol. One for my gh5 and gh5s. Its a good all-in-one for most use cases and has built in stabilization that which paired with the gh5 ibis is a killer combo.

Is Sony still the low light king?

i shot northern lights with the A7s II and felt the same about that noise reduction. the FX3 and A7s III are better but still have some of that digital feel in shadows. for organic noise the Panasonic GH5S or S5 II actually give you a more filmic grain structure in low light. also look at the Nikon

Portable Camera that cuts well with BMPCC4k?

Ive seen the Panasonic GH4 or 5 footage match up nicely. A Used the GH4 is reasonably priced. The Gh5 has in body stabilisation, the GH4 not. Both have focus peaking very handy, and auto focus, not that i'm keen on auto focus. GH4 shoots at 24p in 4k and 1080, with 60p available in 1080 only. The GH

Need help! Gh5 vs gh5s lowlight

They’re pretty much the same camera aside from ibis and the dual native iso. I have the gh5s and pair it with the Lumix 24mm 1.7 at iso 800 for low light work and it handles it. These cameras are not low light monsters like other more modern models (looking into the g9ii or the gh7) and they’re not

Stupid Question about Equipment + Shoutout to PMI team

Hi mate I’m a tv camera op working in documentaries, If they’ve got decent budget the fx3 is probably what they are using but honestly that would be absolutely overkill for what you are intending to do. Get a cheaper Sony A7S or even an old Panasonic lumix GH5s which would be perfectly fine for just

Mobile app for remote recording and live preview

Even better news - all of my above replies were based on previous Panasonic Image App (still some monitor delay noticed). Just found out that when pairing my GH5S with the newer Panasonic Lumix Sync App the monitor delay is now only just about 0.1-0.2s - should be more than good enough for most situ

Should I sell my Lumix GH5S for a Sony a7RII

I wouldn't get the RII, a used lumix s5 makes more sense for an upgrade if you really want full frame, I used to have a gh5 and this I personally did. So I'd either stay with the gh5 and get a zoom lens, the Panasonic 12-35mm is great, or get the lumix s5 with the kit zoom (20-60 f3.5-5.6)and later

A lumix s5 owner and want to get a GH5 or GH5s. Want to know anyone have some footage that they shoot for reels. Also Its kinda crazy gh5 has a usb type C!

A GH5 with f/2.8 lens would weigh roughly the same as the S5 with a kitlens. The main advantage of the GH5 would be: More zoom range for the same weight. The leica 12-60 give you the FF equivalent of 24-120 for similar weight as the S5 20-60. (Though shooting in APS-C mode on the S5 effectively exte
