Difficult to be certain about that from their results? In any event will be a lot less than all dslr, except the d5200 which then throws nasty fixed pattern noise into the mix and naff ergonomics c/w with the G series? Nothing perfect yet it seems but the G6 moves in the right direction, now Panasonic open up the Multi-Aspect ratio on the G6 why disable it? maybe its a processor thing.
Early resolution test by slashcam.de show slightly more aliasing than GH2/GH3 http://www.slashcam.de/artikel/Test/Panasonic-G6---Messergebnisse-und-kurze-Gedanken.html Video-Crop seems to be 2x, they suspect it's a G5 Sensor.
@Shaveblog Yo! :)
@Shaveblog - so, you do slams, right?
@kurth Excellent advice. I like TOTALLY complained to Panasonic HQ about the GF1's high ISO noise and they were like whoa, someone somewhere wants a firmware update, better get one into the pipeline STAT. Next day, bam, firmshnizzle updizzle. Just like that.
But then I'm like, dog, why stop now? So I tweeted to no one in particular, "Yo, not sure if my pancake is auto-focusing as fast as it should be, but maybe it's cuz I'm so hiiiiiiiiii" and then 15 mins later, bam, another firmware update. Those Panasonic digital imaging division dudes be RESPONSIVE yo!
One time, I didn't even say anything. I just thought in my head, "Are you there, God? It's me, Margaret. I wish my GH2 had switchable NTSC/PAL video and an higher 24p bitrate" and BAM! Look on my Chinese Android tablet (props VK) and doncha know Panamuthafunkinsonic jimmy-jammed another F to tha U on they support website. For realz yo. It's like they homeopathic or sumpin.
So yeah, when you get your G6 but you don't want to shoot as much as a frame of video till it be all hacked and whatnot, send your complaints to http://shop.panasonic.com/ecom/support/contact-us?t=email and see if your head don't be SPINNING YO. Panasonic don't be playing, dog. They ON it.
The G6 is really looking like a nice upgrade for GH2 users. Now, if only Panasonic would allow for some Vitaliy magic to occur.
It is tough to match the LX7 with the GH1 hacked with the 24p hack. The LX7 is really nice and handy, but the 60p is so smooth, it looks significantly different.
60p (and 30p result) is much better for most projects distributed on web.
It is tough to match the LX7 with the GH1 hacked with the 24p hack. The LX7 is really nice and handy, but the 60p is so smooth, it looks significantly different. This leads me to wonder whether the G6 would match in its 24p mode?
I would like to see 24p footage and compare it to the GH1 and GH2. Honestly, after cutting my latest feature doc shot with two GH1s, I'm hard pressed to jump to the GH3. My experience with the GH1 shooting more than 100 interviews for films and TV has been very favorable. But the price of the G6 has interested me in adding it as camera number three. Coupling the G6 with the 14mm f2.5 would give you a nice wide shot for interviews.
do not attend to buy GH3 or LX7 or any other new model before they get hacked too.
Really, LX7 was $250 few days ago :-) Why not?
@rigs is right. Panasonic should better not work against the hacking society, for keeping their selling rates upwards.
Panasonic, if you hear me: I bought total six of your GH1/GH2 cameras only because they were hacked. I do not attend to buy GH3 or LX7 or any other new model before they get hacked too.
@tinyrobot ....you should already own a hacked gh either 1 or 2. The g6 will be a good investment regardless, although I definitely saw the mud in julians video comparison , and it will need a higher bitrate to cleanup.
Would definately swap this for my B cam and steadicam if it had the 30 min restriction lifted for PAL.
