Sony A6300 vs Panasonic G7 - Whats The Best Budget 4K Camera? 

+wyo russ iF THE A6300 had a fully articulating touch screen .... it would have destroyed everybody

agreed!

+wyo russ After shooting with Panasonic you'll find the Canon image incredibly soft. I did some Beta testing on the G-6, which was and still is one of the best cameras I've ever shot on, including high end cinema cameras costing 10x more. The G7 seems to have the same mojo as the g6, though I haven't got my hands on one yet ,Thanks Panasonic!!! still waiting!!!The new Sony rx10iii has an incredible feature set, I've never thought I would take a second glance at a camera with a built in lens, but that camera is crazy good. 1' Sensor, which is a bit smaller than m4/3rds, or equivalent to s16mm film cam, but with the 24-600 lens, you wont have any issue getting a shallow dof when needed. The real gem is it shoots 960fps in 1080p. Pretty incredible for a 1,400 camera.

Totally agree. I had GH4 but believing or not I prefer my G6. something technically is so right with that camera.

how are the photo capabilities

is there noticable evf lag?

+linus sak (LinusB2) , in 60fps mode it's barely perceptible.

+BrainDesmo barley noticeable? never heard perceptible

+linus sak (LinusB2) per·cep·ti·blepərˈseptəb(ə)l/adjectiveadjective: perceptible(especially of a slight movement or change of state) able to be seen or noticed.

+BrainDesmo ah okey so like making a fast twist with the camera will make the lag noticeable?

nice to see you here too!😋

nice to see you here too!😋

Sony is a OVERHEAT camera for sure. stay away from SONY camera and PHONE, buy SONY TV and HIFI only.

thank you. shit is $1,000.

Broooooooooo😭😭😭😭😭😭 I legit get so upset when I see RU-vidrs come at us with the "best budget cameras" caption and I'm seeing Sony. Stop playing with meee fgs😭😭😭😭

Armando Ferreira What speed booster brand do you recommend for a Sony 6300? Please reply.

Metabones

I have a Sony 6300 with carl ziess glass 24-70mm f.4 I like it a lot but , I missed a lot of the full frame look. Is this adapter going to help me to recover that full frame look ? Thanks a lot , Jorge.

+Armando Ferreira get a nx1 6.5k sensor 28mp 15fps the sony is a knockoff nx1 samsung camera and its a 265 file so it saves space

seedz11 Nah, I prefer Sony way more versatile. If you look at my RU-vid channel I shoot with A7SII, A7RII and a6300 and all matches perfectly. I've also shot with FS5 and FS7 and having that type of options is awesome. Also Samsung is killing their camera lineup so investing in a dead ecosystem is not a good idea.

Which camera did you keep? I currently have the G7 and I'm debating returning it for the a6300. I'm not impressed with it's limited frame rates for slow motion and I'm not sold on the stills

Hey man what'd you end up doing?

***** I just kept the G7 and purchased a prime 25mm / 1.7 lens for beautiful stills and low light. Are you debating between the two?

I also kept the G7 and do not regret in general. Well, I miss a wonderful low-light at higher ISO performance of the Sony. Also, the still image quality could be better with the kit 14-140 lens. Anyway, I mainly use it for 4k video and the quality of it is top-notch

The 4K is gorgeous for such a small camera

wasnt fully focused. look at the star wars ship comparison... without a doubt the sony is WAY sharper

Don't try to convince yourself that the G7 is better. Is not. The G7 is not bad though.. you just pay less and you get less. Simple.

you can get one used for 750 bucks. It's the better deal imo, better low light, bigger sensor, 24 mp vs 16 mp, 120 fps vs only 60 fps, higher iso, great auto focus, recording in s-log2 and s-log3, weather sealed.

The difference in dynamic range is huge also huge.

Honestly i would get the g7 in a heartbeat but now i dont know anymore. I have sigma 18-35 and its actually cheaper for me to get the sony a6300 w mc-11 or pay $300CAD more for lumix g7 + speedbooster ultra. And thats used price too!

lol That is very true. Im saving money for the g7

it depends on the camera u want i prefer a traditional feeling camera i dont like the way sony a6300 is set up but if that is u then go for it to me that was just as important as specs

Find the cheapest price for the camera online. Even if you think the site is unreliable. I went to bestbuy to get my camera and their price was $700. I got it down to $500 when they price match it.

Ryan Ross Body only is $500 for G7 right now.

a6300 is far better than the gh4 in practice. only problem is overheating for wich u can get a fast card and an external battery. Autofocus is supercool in a6300 and 120fps full hd. its bang for the buck.

no.

Guys, trust me. I'm from the internet.

lmfaoo

Is G7 is a full frame 4k, ??

@@hemanthnaik4613 No. It's Micro 4/3 (In terms of sensor size: Full frame > APS-C > Micro 4/3).

Una pregunta. Soy solo yo? O en la G7 la imagen se ve muy digital a diferencia de la sony a6300?

@@DIACC0_oficial tengo una G7 y no puedo encontrarle la vuelta con el tema del color, comparando con canon por ejemplo, la canon se ve mucho mas "cinematografica", la G7 la siento con mucho menos contraste, como mas lavada. Mismo tengo una nikon 3200 y en cuanto a color me gusta mucho mas la nikon. Es una lastima porque el resto de las funciones y como camara en si me parece muy comoda la G7

***** Fair enough, but he should still mention the bad overheating issues that the camera suffers from.

+Gari Clark Where did you get these informations? It isn't true! I got the a6300 and I never had problems!

Loads of videos and reviews online and also a friend of mine had the same camera and had this problem. Its a common problem with the A6300 and maybe you got lucky with yours

+Gari Clark There were a lot of Problems with the a6000... it's possible that they transfered these informations to the a6300

Both the a6000 and the a6300 have the same issues. My friend had the a6300 and he had big problems with video work on his camera.

+Jorge Martinez You're only speaking as a bargain basement shopper, rather than understanding that people have specific shooting needs. Who cares that you can buy 2 of something for the price of 1 of something else. That's a silly argument. Cheap price doesn't and shouldn't be considered if a camera doesn't satisfy the consumer. I don't like the slow focusing on the G7. That automatically rules it out. And for a micro 4/3 camera it's strange that it's so much bigger than most APS-C cams.

+Wesley Jordan lol, I own my own videography and photography business and as far as video, I've been working with budget cameras since 2011. Call me a bargain basement shopper, but at the end of the day my cheap g7 allows me to get more clients for their weddings and quinceañeras. The g7 can do the same as the a6300 at a fraction of the cost. If you run your own business and you feel a 5dm3 or a7s or whatever full frame cameras fills your needs, then more power too you. just don't underestimate the power of the g7 and the operator!!!

+Jorge Martinez well said

+Jorge Martinez or G7 + Speedbooster + Good Lenses ... and you have much more better quality than a6300 at the same price ...

Jorge Martinez So the G7 focuses just as fast and accurate as the 6300? I'm hearing differently. Because according to you, your G7 works exactly the same as the 6300 at a fraction of the cost. Hmm.

Any huge difference in video quality between this two ?

I agree with many of your observations. Have experienced v similar things. Enormously impressed with the h.265 on a Samsung NX500 I bought for fun (and also the autofocus). Wish more cameras had it, and that NLEs supported it. Enormously impressed with certain m43 lenses such as the 42.5mm Pan-Leica macro. Bunch of good ones, really. Wish the bodies were more capable. Takes me far too long to get up the gh4 for the casual often one man band interviews I like to do when traveling & going to tradeshows and educational events. GH4 (and perhaps GH3) based setups produce beautiful results, but are really better for small teams. It's sad the crowd bashed Sony for years for having touchscreens. They got their wish. Well, I'd love to see them back, too! The C300 Mark II has been the best & easiest to use camera I've rented by far, but the file sizes are far too enormous. 5 axis is also too brilliant to leave off of new cameras. Maybe GX80 GX85 offers some hope? Perhaps AR7III will be great

Two other things it'd be nice to see on other cameras... FS5's dynamic lcd based iris/nd filter. And RX1R IIs LCD based low pass filter. These are really next gen filters and make life so much easier.

Sorry. I meant the 45mm Elmarit macro, not 42.5. Must have been thinking of the Nocticron, which is also a tremendously nice lens, although easily swapped for a Batis on the Sony side. Got my macro cheap from Japan. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/651734-REG/Panasonic_H_ES045_Leica_DG_Macro_Elmarit_45mm.html I can't find a macro lens like this one, honestly, from any other brand. The new Sony 90mm macro has muted colors, whereas the PanLeica has nothing but rich saturation and pop. m43 May have a small sensor, but I can't have love for it when some of the lenses are so completely (and apparently uniquely) stellar.

+docstowatch I read online that GX80/GX85 has awesome 5-axis dual sensor+lens optical image stabilization, that makes it look like a steadicam when filmed handheld. But GX80/GX85 has no microphone mini jack input which makes it impossible for me to use, I need to use my Sennheiser MKE400 shotgun microphone for good audio quality. And Panasonic 4K filesize is I think at minimum 100mbit/s, which means I'd have to upload files that are 5x larger than my current 20mbit/s MP4 1080p@30fps mode in my Panasonic GH3. I wish H265 codec was available in other cameras than Samsung NX1/NX500, and I wish RU-vid would allow people to upload H265 format directly from the cameras to RU-vid. I would expect youtube to support H265 upload eventually. I guess the Samsung NX1/NX500 weren't popular enough for RU-vid to pay attention and support that H265 codec for uploads yet. Makes no sense for me to re-encode all the NX1 files to double the size H264 just to be able to upload the 4K videos to youtube. I might be waiting for Panasonic GH5, but that may be a long wait, it might not be available before 2017 according to what someone is writing in a forum online. I hope GH5 and other cameras soon support H265 encoding and RU-vid support it. I also wish cameras had automatic intro and transparent watermark and basic cut/join editing in-camera, and like the Panasonic VX991 camcorder with that second camera facing the interviewer, would be nice with a switch to switch to second or third smartphone/wireless camera and not support the other camera angles only as picture-in-picture. I also wish cameras had built-in multiple wireless microphone support, be it bluetooth or some better long distance RF with cheap lapel microphones that should be available and audio-volumes easily adjustable in real-time in the camera.

depends, with the gx80 you are sacrificing the articulating screen and the microphone input, but you are gaining in body image stablization

+Jessica Jung wow i just checked it out, & price diff. is $550. lol not so helpful

yeah until it overheats. indoors. with AC on lol. a6300 could be the best, but it's completely unusable

So... the sony produces great 4k, but overheats and s-log3 is worthless because it outputs at 8bit, making grading difficult. HD is really disappointing, so you're reliant on downsampling from 4k... the problem is that 4k doesn't allow for slow-mo, so all the fps/time-lapse functionality goes out the window... and then there's the rolling shutter. Ergonomics have always been problematic and there's no touchscreen, which would solve a whole host of those issues... Sony have crammed a boat-load of tech into this camera but it appears that many of it's selling points are hamstrung in one way or another....

If you have the money, the a6300 is a good blogging camera but it has problems. The main reason I personally didn't purchase the a6300 is the lack of a fully articulating screen, so I wouldn't be able to see myself and the overheating issues with video. The only real pro is how lighweight the a6300 is, and that's a personal preference. Price to performance, G7 wins here in my opinion
