PANASONIC LUMIX GH6 | The Ultimate Mirrorless Camera For Pro FilmMakers?? 

Can't you solve this by going to menu and choosing "shoot with no lens" option?

no need to tape

@@mbailey802 Well the tricky thing is, it will shoot with no lens, but it detects the electronics of the viltrox speed booster. So then it assumes there's some sort of error because it know's there's a connection but no information coming through. By taping off the connection in the speed booster, it cuts off the signal entirely and the GH6 will just assume it's a manual lens and it'll let you record. Would be nice if I could just tell the GH6 to ignore that signal entirely.

@@GeneNagata ohhhh that's right, I forgot it will still read out fstop etc. I was thinking of using the dumby adapter with an old manual nikon lens on my gh4 and gh5 where turning on the 'no lens' function worked well. thanks

*What Happened To Your Tooth?*

Correct. It's easy to dismiss it. And I have. Because once again they fail to listen to the majority of what the market wants.

Agreed!

@@AllTorque I think, since they are getting their sensors from Sony, they cannot get pdaf... that's the deal, because would otherwise not make any sense to work with contrast af....

Buy this man a coffee. I am.

@@fightsportsworldwide9776 there may be some truth in this.

That was...weird.

there u go. i was looking for this comment.

@@Utoober-yp7mf me to"oth"! 😂

If I were to guess, it looks like he has a dental implant and the crown came loose. The crown either needs to be screwed back on or cemented, depending on the type of implant system they used.

Dude rent get the clients to pay

Ooh yeah good idea. Thanks

Shooting video on cameras with fast lenses and larger sensors is more challenging in some respects than shooting on a phone because it's harder to nail focus. It takes practice, but it's totally worth it. Micro Four Thirds is a great middle ground. While you do get background separation and bokeh, you're not going to be focusing on an eyelash when you tried to focus on the pupil because the depth of field is not that shallow like it would be in full frame. If you've been shooting on a phone, the GH6 is probably severe overkill. Pick up a used G85 for 1/4 of the price of this, and you will still get excellent video out of it...speaking from direct experience. The used market is about to get flooded with the GH5, so you might be able to get a great deal on one of those.

No shame in shooting with a phone. I would actually recommend you consider buying Tentacle Track E to discretely mic your talent and then use a camera App on your phone that supports them. I previously only used them with my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K and now love using them with my iPhone. Sound is super important. What I actually love about the GH6 and PotatoeJet didn’t really cover was that the GH6 has a timecode port and that the camera supports real time code without having to use an audio track.

@@danieldougan269 thanks a lot

You mean the best review that bolsters your own bias.

@@dave2664 was your comment necessary? Of course the op was speaking base on his opinion.

A "Filmmaker" review: Panasonic GH6 - The King of Micro Four Third - Overview, test, features, and review for filmmakers ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jUd_I8Z3Iqw.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jUd_I8Z3Iqw.html

Cine D does a good review as do Jordan and Chris. This camera is excellent.if you don't need autofocus. Which I never use.

@@dave2664 I don’t have a bias towards any camera brand and I’ve never owned or used a Panasonic camera. My opinion was that this initial overview was more thorough than others.

I have no idea what you’re talking about.

@@PotatoJet u took your tooth out

Yeah. I switched to the Panasonic S5. I love it I still have a bunch of m4/3 glass. I'm strongly considering this GH6.

Yeah, he can review it caus got it for free and got some cash.

I've had a Lumix G7 for years, it's my first "real" camera (not my phone) but I was really impressed with what I got for the price and I think it still holds up today. Sadly it's pretty terrible in low light but that's my only real complaint, the ability to shoot cinematic 4k video is enough for me, I just wish lenses (in general) were cheaper, the main lens I want costs more than the camera and kit lens.

Confirmation Bias: the tendency to interpret new evidence as confirmation of one's existing beliefs or theories.

@@dave2664 Nah dude I’m just seeing a bunch of RU-vidrs basing their reviews on RU-vid oriented usage. The GH6 is packed with so many cinema features that are being completely ignored. Potato Jet was thorough about them and actually utilised them in this video. And I’m psyched about it, that’s it

enjoy those flickering tree branches

@@SB-mr2nk I only shoot on fully manual primes not a problem for me.

I love manual focus too. Full artistic control over every situation. At my work I use a Sony A7iii and the amount of times the autofocus has messed up in video mode during product overview videos. I leave it in manual focus these days too and that's a Sony! lol I used to be one to always dig technical features but having half the production in my hand movements and sub conscious thinking vs letting the camera decide what it thinks I want is so much more satisfying and simple. Also can do it for any camera past present future.

You surely understand camera market dynamics better than others..

What is the best camera for both photo and video?budget around $2.5k to $4k USD

@@ramg8965 I would personally go for something like Sony A7IV for it's hybrid capability.

@@ankurbagai1056 ok brother thank you so much..still sony is the best?

@@ramg8965 Yes! Panasonic S5 is a close second but due to lack of quality lenses, I wouldn't recommend that. With Sony a Tamron Trinity or Tamon 35-150 & Sony 55mm would more than enough for almost every work.

I too was wtf lol🤣.... that was great

Well if they both need manual focus then might as well get Braw 12 bit 422.

It’t don’t.

Enjoy this then. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xqKTamQm-Vw.html The AF is garbage. Always has been and is still currently.

I dont like geralds channel. He is nothing but a numbers guy.

@@castielvargastv7931 yeah him and those damn detailed facts instead of a bunch of anecdotal BS like this clown

Lol another af fetish guy. I bought the gh5 and i will buy the gh6 .

Lol what are you talking about? I use a gh5 for vlogging without any problems and the gh6 is better.

I have the S5, do you think they’ll do that update??? Could they just go all the way and do 4k on their 180?

@@messyfilms6325 full frame has a higher demand on the sensor read speed. It could be a whole generation of processor away, meaning a whole new camera release, before you see it on FF.

@@-grey booo

I was thinking the same thing. Only thing that made me 👀 was the internal ProRes feature but if you own a Atomos Ninja you’re covered on that plus we have FF so I’m most likely going to wait for the S1H mkii

Don't keep your hopes up. The sensors are a7iii sensors, I don't have the data spec sheet but if Sony doesn't have it in the spec sheet it will never happen. That's the reason why the S1/S1H/S5 do not have full width 4k60p. It is limited by hardware architecture, processing power, and heat management. Not firmware.

@M i c e l a🍎 No one gives a fuck.

Pocket 6K would win out.

6kpro is on a different league.

@@mrshaheedmalik never! Gh6 is a hybrid. Guys like me dont buy a camera without ibis, no flipout and no af. The gh6 can do 25mp still and the af is more than good enough for me.

@@nigerian-nightmare it is not! I dont see anything it is better than the gh6

@@castielvargastv7931 you need to look at Juan Malera's Pocket 6K to Alexa Lut comparing the footage then. The Pocket 6K is close enough to Arri level. This camera doesn't compare.

Love my XT-4 but you nailed it

@@ActionXander why do you love it? it’s a 🗑 camera

@@Archonsx "trash camera" is pretty harsh. I do love it's durability (I've taken this camera this many extreme environments) and the colors/lenses glasses are fantastic

I don’t think they’re comparable? I thought X-t4 was primarily for photos?

In 4k even

So what does this give you that BMPCC4K doesn't?

@@SpaceGhostNZ The BMPCC 4K is so adorable but not modular and I always had to build it out for my use. Plus, having this gives me photography capabilities and eliminates the need to carry a second camera for photography

@@stanleymakafui I see, I'm a video guy and it does everything I need with just a cage, which you would probably need for this camera to add anything to it. I'm not really a huge fan of autofocus so the only thing this has that piques my interest is IBIS. But I'll happily trade that for BRAW.

@@SpaceGhostNZ yes, and am I very avid fan of the BMPCC 4K but if this could do the BRAW, it'll really eliminate the need to build it out like I do with a monitor, a rig, a v-mount battery. Plus, I'll not have to keep bringing my photography cameras as this would make me nimble on shoots. I still love and adore the BMPCC 4K

unfortunately I think the only camera that has wowed me wiith dynamic rangeis the canon c70 with it's DGO sensor (and they addded raw)........unfortunately it's very expensive.supposedly this is better. though will have to wait for test

@@legendp2011 Gerald’s real dynamic range test on gh6 was 12.5 stops

@@richnationfilms seems decent, if only it had internal raw (may get prores raw update) and decent autofocus.

A74 seems like a beast. I’m not sure how you’re regretting it.

The only thing that impressed me was the IBIS. But Sonys active and gyro stabalisation is so useful as well.

@@secoTheSonicFan maybe but I’m honestly curious because I’m considering upgrading to either the a74 or the gh6

Should have gone for the S5 then

@@secoTheSonicFan 5.7k 60p vs 4k 60 for one, I use a metabones adapter so they are both APC sized giving the win to Panasonic. For action content, the rolling shutter is worlds better. Provides 4k 120p at 10bit where the a74 doesn't even provide 1080p 120p 10bit. The GH6 doing internal prores and not needing an external recorder (literally saves thousands) whereas the A74 hasn't been given any external upgraded recording features to my knowledge. Like, guys, I'm not trying to be biased but the video features outright slap the A7s3 and this camera is cheaper than an A74, again outside of autofocus and depth of field which a metabones adaptor and fast lens solve. Also has a higher mechanical photo burst with a cool although Jpeg electronic mode (I feel it would provide similar results to simply filming and pulling screenshots but I could see the usefulness of having the JPEGS straight out of the camera. All this and I haven't even mentioned IBIS. To summarize for video cinema-style work this is a no-brainer even when compared to the A7s3 and maybe cameras of a higher tear than that, for photo, not really but still provides more in that department than I was expecting.

Why dread it? If it is working, controllable and predictable, it really doesnt have to be a problem. Its the same conversation in DJ'ing, people complaining because you now have the ability to instantly match a BPM with another track. Why complain about something that makes your life easier and allows you to focus your creativity on something else?

@@_MJ07_ because controlling focus can be an important tool for storytelling in a way that AF can never do. Good AF can keep an object in the frame in focus, but it can decide which object should be in focus, or when something shouldn't be. If you know when to use it, fine, but if you rely on it for every shot your creativity is going to be severely limited.

@@TJA86 and that's why I said if it's controllable and predictable. With the rise in touch screens, improvement in focus motors and af systems, there is no reason you can't be creative with AF, and it will only get better.

@@_MJ07_ sure, if you're actively using the touch screen to control focus, but that's hardly AF anymore, at least not in a way that's related to the AFC that everyone complains about not working well, which is what i was referring to... in fact the GH5 has some of the best touch screen controlled AF modes I've ever seen.

@@secoTheSonicFan you should tell the producers of Ozark to stop using panasonic because they suck. And maybe tell ARRI to end the PL mount lens system because they don't have any way to offer autofocus. And all the other companies that sell $100k cinema lenses with no autofocus...i guess they're just wasting their time.

cameras are all good now...

GH5 mark II is better than the G9. New processor.

At this point the autofocus thing is a conspiracy lol

Yeah honestly the rest is amazing but it doesn’t matter if the auto focus is bad. Which it appears to be

Me too!

The GH6 would make for a beast of a B cam for the S5. I own one as well, but as Gerald Undone has mentioned, the S5 with it's full frame sensor still produces better image quality compared to the GH6.

OM-1 is better

@@kifley19 Probably, but I haven't really seen any reviews of it from filmmakers, Olympus probably decided to give it to test mostly to photographers🤷‍♀

It looks like the OM-1 has phase & contrast detect AF so in theory it should be better AF or at least not have the same pulsing issues.

Still 100x shittier than this camera

....and a battery that overheats - no extra charge!!!

If the G85 had canon, Sony, or Olympus level autofocus it would be the perfect camera imo. Damnit. I have one still, switched to EOS M6ii mostly to keep using my sigma 18-35 and have great AF.

G95 and the Gh5 Mark ii is better than the weak G85 and GH5.

@@thewalkingvloggingman7152 Nice try, Panasonic. you're not getting my money that easily.
