GH5 photojournalism in PARIS "Revolution"
@Doctor GH5 focus is very weak for video or photography (in AF-C) when you try to shoot someone coming to your direction. My Nikon D750 is much more efficient for that. I do not know about the Sony A7M2 as I am only using old Nikon manual focus l…

GH5 photojournalism in PARIS "Revolution"
@Vitaliy_Kiselev I think it is far to be a waste of time, this movement (which had 80% population support at start) created a wave of reactions, questions, reflections and discussions that are spreading among a more and more aware part of the soci…

GH5 Panasonic camera, from anticipation to love or hate
Another straight out of GH5 video shot in documentary style. Once, I am shooting the ground for few second as I had to adjust my goggles and mask to protect myself against tear gas. https://vimeo.com/324867424

I rarely use Autofocus on GH5 since it is really weak and for fictional or commercial shooting I always prefer manual focus as soon as I am directing what is going on in front of the camera. However, sometime, for more documentary style or journalis…

JVC 4K cameras, including GY-LS300 - 4K for $2995, GY-HM200 and GY-HM170
Here is another music video shot on JVC LS 300 beside GH5 (mainly for slow motion). The APS-C sensor + Speebooster delivers an image close to FX look on the JVC which still is my favorite camera. GH5 best it for slow motion and compactness. https:…

@cindy6 Sorry for late reply (1 year!) the 100-300 Lumix can be used at 100% (APS-C size sensor) without a problem (vignetting) which make it behave like a 150-450 mm zoom (on FX equivalent field of view)

Capitalism: China’s population started to drop
I lived and worked in China for 13 years and, according to many educated locals I spoke to, the one child policy saved many lives as traditionally family used to get many children and not enough food to feed them. Even now, despite its huge agricult…

Here is a project I shot on JVC LS300 + some Multicam sequences adding Lumix G85 and GH4 in 4K + GH3 in HD (my past A camera). I also used the G85on the shot of the bird in flight handheld from a boat due to internal stabilization which works great…

Do we really need the GH4 and 4:2:2, 10 bit, 4K, Raw file? GH1 and GH2 still rock for me
@dlzn I do totally agree. Limitation also comes sometime from to the fact to get too much and too many things and people on the way. For example, filming with a GH camera allows to work alone or with a very limited crew due its form factor: its v…

@ Vesku I totally understand that you cannot post the complete picture, no worry. And I do also understand their purpose. No worry. To answer to your question, not all FX camera needs higher shutter speed, but some, for different reason. It can b…

@ Veksu Thanks a lot for your post. I can see what you mean comparing low light shots from 5D and GH4. It looks like a very interesting scene and it is a pity that the light is so weak. Funny thing is that, I am more concerned by the depth of fiel…

@abolit Better you get a try on your own with different cameras to get your own experience. For noise problem, all depends on Camera + Camera set up + Lens combinaison and working habit. I know that nowadays people love to push ISO and some real…

Here are some shots with the GH4 and different lenses: 12-35mm f2.8 and 35-100mm f2.8. In a previous post, I wrote that I was not so satisfied with the 35-100mm f2.8, But in this lighting situation it came out good as there is more option with stron…

@albertdros I have both too, but I especially like the Pentacon as it is a light weight lens with a minimum focus distance of 0.35m, this is great for a 50mm lens. By the way, in another comment, I mentioned the 35-100mm f2.8. It's minimum focu…
