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

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

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

How far should I raise the ISO?

The get the best dynamic range with a wider color gamut and with true 10 bit 4:2:2 capture is from using the HLG mode. The other picture modes truncate the pixel bit depth somewhat and only capture within the older Rec 709 color space. It's a flaw in the GH5's design. Panasonic added HLG in a firmwa

What is Micro Four Thirds missing in 2025?

Z cam and lumix have the 10MP video centric iso beast sensor, which is one of the best video sensors around the market today, but despite to be plenty used on video, it's pretty good on photo too, look at the gh5s on photos and it's really awesome, and those are pretty capable in image terms, z cam

Wanting to buy my first camera for cinematography around 1.5k

Copy of resolve is a good point and a big saving if the op is gonna edit on resolve. If I had 2000 and needed to buy one camera and one lens, I'd probably look for used gh-series lumix camera (preferably gh5s, gh5m2 or gh6) and some fast zoom lens to have some versatility and to combat low light dis

How good is the GH5S in 2025?

Yeah, I use it on gimbals as well. Especially for events. That. Camera amazes me everytime I review the footage. I have a blackmagic Ursa mini 4.6k, and trust me. I get waaaay .ore noise with that over the Lumix gh5s, especially in uncontrolled low light. Gh5s is top vibes. I like it for what it is,

If you usually shoot around ISO 4000 @ f5.6 on FF, then that would translate to ISO 1000 (2 stops) if you are using f2.8 on M43 to maintain the same exposure, assuming your shutter speed remains constant. I think the GH5, at the right price, is really a good deal right now. The GH5S is a beast in lo
