Lumix GH7 - The PERFECT Camera with One MAJOR Issue!? 

Just do it 👏

Hey , nikon z6iii with internal raw, 4k60 no crop and 4k120 and ibis is calling for you

@@JJARCHIEwhat’s the price point?

@@quadeemhall5297 2500$ unfortunately , in a couple of months we'll get a7v with 33mp and same spec i assume ( no internal raw ) for around the same price , so might wanna look for that aswell.

GH5 is STILL a good camera, yeah the autofocus is one thing if you use it, but otherwise, I still use it. I will go with a GH7 and the second camera.

Exactly... GH6 ws a small upgrade, but lacked some main features like a GOOD autofocus... also the audio (adapter) for GH7 will make a difference.

That's because everything is already cropped, 2X!

@@markr041 Haha, it's actually about 2.5 x crop. With FF being 1.25 x crop.

Vlog!

@@OBP_ Thank you.

Yeah, super interested in the Z6iii. Keep me updated, I have so many questions about that camera.

Did you overexpose ?

Yes there is more detail, when you have the ProRes inside your editing software. Am guessing less once rendered out and uploaded to socials, RU-vid etc. but the biggest benefit is the ability to correct the exposure or white balance tints etc. it brings the camera to life 🙌🏼

@@OBP_ I don't mean prores RAW. I mean prores 422 :)

@@kenslyder Pro Res 422 does have more colour information than standard H264, hence the massive file sizes when shooting in Pro Res 422. So yes, a little more latitude to push and pull colours in post. Not as much as Raw of course, but there's definitely more colour information in 422. And Pro Res 422 is much more efficient if you're using a Mac, as Pro Res is native to Mac. So it's a win win...if you have the drive space 😉

You can't...theres no way to transcode from one RAW codec to another. However if you own a Blackmagic assist monitor you can record BRAW externally which to me is a huge plus. Especially if you already you the BMD eco system.

You can use rawconverter to convert Pro Res Raw over to Cinema DNG, which is then compatible with Resolve.

The Nikon Z8 body only costs $3,500. The Panasonic GH7 body only costs $2,200. And the fact that you've even compared a full frame stacked sensor Nikon Z8 to a MFT GH7 speaks volumes as to the incredible value of a Lumix GH7!

Nikon Z6 is less expensive, does 6k FF internal RAW up to 60p. Only thing Nikon cameras miss is open gate mode.

@@jmbaillard7015 the Nikon Z6 doesn't offer the same level of pro features that the GH7 does. It just doesn't. And the Z6III is $300 more than the GH7. So again, unmatched value from Panasonic! And as for the argument around full frame, if super 35 is good enough for Roger Deakins, the Oscars, Netflix, Arri and even the Palm D'or, then smaller sensor sizes good enough for the rest of us. And one massive thing about a MFT camera that hardly anyone speaks of is versatility. You have the option to work with a very small form factor with much smaller & cheaper lenses. And then with either a 0.64 or 0.71 Speedbooster, you can then upscale or upbuild the camera to suit whatever needs you have, and you gain a stop and a 3rd of light as well! Full frame does not offer that level of flexibility or versatility or cost savings. It just doesn't. But long story short, EVERY camera company is producing simply incredible cameras nowadays! There is no wrong choice anymore, just personal preference. Long live this golden age of camera technology!

​@@jmbaillard7015 ??? that's weird, Google shadowbanned/ deleted my response to you. That's super weird as this isn't a political channel at all. We're just camera nerds, geeking out over amazing camera tech! So I don't get it. But I'll try again... The Nikon Z6III is $300 more than the GH7, and it doesn't offer the same level of pro features that the GH7 does. Again, incredible value from Panasonic! But long story short, there is no wrong choice in camera gear today. It's just personal preference. And that's because literally every camera company is producing amazing, incredible camera tech! So if Nikon is your personal choice, then that's an excellent decision, as Nikon cameras are awesome! But so are every other camera brand as well. Every one of them are knocking it out of the park., especially Panasonic! So, l0ng live this g0lden age of c@mera t3chnology! And Google, leave this post alone please. Thank you.

@@jmbaillard7015 Google keeps deleting my posts, so I'm having trouble responding to you. Why? Don't know. We're camera geeks that are nerding out over camera gear, so not sure what's going on here... But maybe google doesn't like Panasonic but prefers Nikon instead 😉🤣

Once you actually shoot with either the 10-25 f/1.7 or the 25-50 f/1.7, then you realise why it costs so much! They are simply incredible, fully professional, all weather sealed, gorgeous image rendering lenses, perfectly designed to work under any conditions with the GH or MFT range! And if you shoot with either one, then you won't want to go back to lesser lenses afterwards. So agreed, if your bank account isn't happy about it, then ignorance is bliss in this case 😉

Buy a discounted GH6 and a 10-25 f1.7 on special and your sweet - even second hand for half price

100% another benefit of M3/4

Smaller and lighter too, great for travel 👍

Idk man the viltrox 1.2 twins are cheap and near GM level

Always go harder than last time (Dr Greg voice). The big issues is its not full frame, playing the youtube game a little.

@@OBP_ why the full frame obsession with youTubers? I don't get it. Roger Deakins, Arri, Netflix, the Oscars and even the Palm D'or don't care about full frame. So i'm trying to understand this obsession that RU-vidrs have with full frame. It's very confusing...

No cropping in the sensor, great color science, grades easily with Alexa footage.

Nikon Z8 is $3,500 and the Z9 is $5,500 Vs the $2,200 price tag of the GH7. And if a cropped sensor is good enough for Roger Deakins, Netflix and the Oscars, then surely it's good enough for the rest of us? Yes, no? You guys tell me...

@jmbaillard7015 Maybe you forgot the sensor is already cropped - 2X - as opposed to an APS-C crop of 1.5X. Many FF cameras can choose 1.0X or 1.5X for video with no loss in resolution (4K). Micro43 is stuck at 2X. Still the GH7 is a good camera, but a cropping argument is not the reason. Or, were you talking about the Z8?

Try to read more carefully and not answer wrongly.

@jmbaillard7015 Well, I read what you wrote. You did not say what camera you were talking about, did you? Try to write more carefully so people understand what you are talking about - this is a place for comments on the GH7. I do agree with you that the Z8 has the advantages you mentioned.

Depend on use case though i'm still see many production team in my country using MFT even in low light its easier to maintain focus with deeper depth of field

Dynamic range? The Z6iii seems to score really low compared to any modern hybrid camera.

@OBP_ Admittedly, there are quite a few gray areas... I just wanted to point out that "small companies" don't have many options. Perhaps the best solution is "all in", to stand up to the competition.

@alvincamera In the good old days of the GH5, when the video capabilities it had were not offered by any FF camera, probably some content production companies invested in the mft system, BUYING CORRESPONDING LENSES. I find it hard to believe that anyone today can invest in the mft system and its lenses. (s5iix is ​​now cheaper than the gh7, while the Nikon Z6iii is only $300 more expensive than the GH7).

@@DroneStories thats just assuming though, i talk with a lot of them and then most of them say they are prefer mft for the light weight lens and then some in the film industry prefer deeper depth of field while using cinema lens
