Great content! I can see that you sold your S5 for GH7. Are you missing the extra stops in low light? I have an old G9 + Sigma 18-35 and the metabones ultra and am considering upgrading to GH7 for the AF, better back display, more megapixels etc. But I'm also thinking of a S5ii(x) for better low light performance and more bokeh when needed. On the other hand...your video looks amazing!
@@andreasdk Not missing anything from the S5 except for some recovery from the highlights. Ed Prosser touched on this in his review aswell. Otherwise this camera is all créme brulé with the tilt screen and recording formats, pdfa works fantastic with metabones adapted lenses. Very happy. L-mount is not something I want to invest in longterm.
@@andreasdk I try to see cameras as tools, what work do you do and what problems does the camera primarely need to solve? If it’s hobby then just go have fun and get whatever you enjoy the most.
Lovely footage and colour grading. How is the autofocus with this combination? Does phase detect make a difference compared with earlier GH cameras and the Metabones/Sigma combo?
@@AdrianvandenBroeck Thank you, I will check that out. Contrast detect on the old G9 with MB Speedbooster is not the best, so I'm very happy to hear it works great on the GH7.
Bmpcc 4k is an amazing camera and with davinci resolve to colorgrade it makes it even better...one correction though..you can do amazing vfx with resolve once you know how to use fusion...great video though man!
@@ihassan1001 Thanks man. People into vfx typically like adobe better for several reasons, one being that most vfx plugins are firstly made for premiere/AE. After Effects which is purely for VFX has options to export entire compositions into Premiere. I’m sure Davinci can do crazy stuff too but it’s not it’s focus area or likely to replace the standard right now. So answer is it depends how deep into vfx you want to go. Fusion can do alot, I haven’t dived to the depths of it but for a simple content creator who just wants to make transitions it is far enough.
@@AdrianvandenBroeck I agree with you and yes beginners always use after effects however that is not industry standard software since it's a layer based but if you learn fusion you can actually do exactly the same as AE and you'll learn node based software which is a knowledge transferable to industry standard software like Nuke...sorry I didn't mean to say you were wrong, you were not wrong at all. It's just I have been using fusion for vfx for a couple years and as intimidating as it initially was, it became a lot easier to flow...basically all I am saying is, davinci resolve is a full package for everyone and you get free updates once you buy the license or if you own any blackmagic products....sorry if I said anything wrong and offensive man...got a lot of respect for you!
I actually got it just for that - random videos, travel videos and getting to know the art. So far I am still loving it. I had my expectations and was not disappointed.
Hi Man! Great Video. Can you please tell something more about the ISO? Wast that 4000 grainy and you used noise reduction or that is the oryginal footage?
The autofocus looks amazingly good. I would be surprised to see what the autofocus looks like with other full frame lenses. That would put the GH7 in a different league.
@@thietbigiaTA Native lenses are faster then the metabones+sigma. Question for you is what lens you’ll use and how fast is fast enough. If you film sportcars I’d start from scratch and find the fastest PDAF which is probably in the sony-line. The gh7 is fast enough for most people.
Thanks for this. I was waiting to see how well the Metabones worked with the GH7 before considering buying a GH7. I have the GH5S and the autofocus is terrible for speedboosted lenses like the Sigma 18-35. Glad to see it's working really well now with PDAF.
@@gurugamer8632 Different tools for different purposes. Do research on both and see what suits you. FX3 is a very powerful camera. I got the gh7 because I had a bunch of mft glass.
@@AdrianvandenBroeck The first/last and only pocket camera was the OG. But I get what you're saying about holding it like a mirrorless camera. And I don't use an external monitor on the CineSaddle.
Additional tip. Use a nice long heavy lens like the sigma 18-35. Hold the lens and focus ring like they were designed for. Stabilisation in DaVinci is amazing even without gyro data. Go nuts.
On the Panasonic gh7 camera which lens combination will give you more depth of field? Metabones SPEF M43 BT4 + sigma 18-35 F1.8 DC HSM ART Or Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Summilux 10-25mm f/1.7 ASPH
Gh7 does not hunt at all. Af is almost perfekt. The sigma is a very old lense and the speedbooster is a problem as well. You really dont know what you are talking about. I am a gh7 owner and the camera is great
Same setup but the cleanest image. Like straight out of camera pro res raw to rec709. Maybe some colours boosted but no luts and cinematic noise stuff. Just clean bright image. I think those images will look great
Holyshit this is stunning! This is the only camera I've now seen that comes anywhere near the Sigma FP in terms of image quality. How's the prores RAW?
@@shueibdahir Thanks man! Haven’t tried Prores raw yet as I use Davinci Resolve. GOP and All-I v-log does just fine for my own work but having it for clients is gold. Fingers crossed for internal Braw in the future if BM is staying out from the field of hybrids.
