It's baffling, specially as they need to gain market share. Nikon even has internal RAW, will this have it? And if it does, will it be an useful codec or the same useless ProresRaw that's on the GH7? What I can Panasonic offering is better color science, much better IBIS, Open Gate and better interf

I wouldn’t want to use a GH5 in 2026. The tech is too old for me. Modern cameras have spoiled me and I don’t want to go back in time. I would use a GH7, but I would prefer one of the Panasonic FF cameras. This isn’t about me though. You keep making threads and you don’t seem to have any idea what yo

Now the GH7 is severely underperforming in sales compared to Panasonic’s other models. What is this based on? The Amazon top sellers list? I'm not doubting the claim, mind you. Just wondering. Anyway, you can see it even in this subreddit. Pansonic releases camera with specs and features better than

What more could the GH8 actually add that the GH7 doesn’t already have? More resolution? Higher frame rates? On such a small Micro Four Thirds sensor, increasing resolution feels pointless. I think Panasonic has already extracted close to the maximum dynamic range possible from a sensor of this size

At least for M43, Panasonic’s newer cameras are either kinda middling (G100) or well-specced but bulky (GH7, G9ii). Seems like the preference is for smaller/lighter bodies with good features/IBIS, and Oly/OM just covers that better. That said, go check the used prices for the GX and GM lines, people

Depends on what you shoot. I got a Canon R6M2. Because I wanted a good hybrid camera (mostly I wanted a good photography camera) but I mostly do wedding videography. The Canon is nice if I’m covering an event and I know I’ll be doing video and photo. IBIS is strong enough I don’t need a gimbal. I us

Here are my experiences with GH5II and Resolve, some problems I bumped into and how I dealt with them over time. There was some useful info on the internet, yotube creators etc, but there was much more repeated 'solutions' that were not good enough for me, so I had to find my own. I hope that you'll

If you have a limited budget, MFT can be great. Used G9 is great value. If you have money to spend, I see almost no reason to buy into MFT at this point for video. Higher frame rates and less overheating are really the only considerations and most people don’t need to worry about either of those. Pa

The S5II kit 20-60 isn't the sharpest wide open. It also isn't the fastest. The difference in DOF between Full frame and MFT is 2 stops of aperture. A Panasonic 10-25 F1.7 would actually give you a shallower depth of field and more light than the 20-60. But that is a big expensive lens, and the GH7

GH7 also the same weight as the Panasonic Lumix S1II which is a full frame camera. In fact its heavier than canon R5 II and Sony A1 II GH7 is really a production video-camera inside a DSLR body without the mirror, I have no idea why they just did not stick it inside a camcorder body with that weight
