WELCOME TO THE FAMILY !!! Panasonic + Lumix are REALLY cooking right now ! LOVE my S5ii. Just shot w/ it the other day, video on my page. New video dropping tomorrow.

Honestly, the C400 looks like a very good value. I don't think Panasonic is really even going for the same user base.

Yea, I'm thinking that if Panasonic tries to put in internal ND's the camera would look more like the Canon C70. Which you would have to be okay with if internal ND's are important to you.

Left the a74 for the S5ii, best decision

if they went S2H, they'll run out of model numbers by the S4.. hahaha

you.... pushing the AF on your camera to the test eh? hahaha back light low contrast face detect hahaha

I wouldn't hold my breath for less rolling shutter. Most likely Panasonic will reuse the existing S5II sensor.

6K60p/4K120p non crop.

Personally, I love it because I can shoot 4K 10-bit log. It literally replaces any real need for a camera and gimbal based on my experiences with the OP3. Only filmmakers who pixel peep the footage will know what to look for compared to audiences watching your content for entertainment purposes. I would like to see adaptable lenses for the OP3 that give it a 50mm and higher focal length. Plus, the 32-bit float audio in the Mic 2 is fantastic. Also, when you set up the Mic 2 to record 32-bit and trigger the recording the footage and audio together, syncing in post is easy because the 32-bit audio recorded inside the Mic 2 is the same length as the video recorded in the OP3.

if i could snap my fingers and have all my sony gear swapped for panasonic gear i would. but id lose too much money selling and rebuying.

You're right but to be honest then sony and Canon will come out with a better camera and leapfrog the S1H ii. It's a never ending cycle.

i do know that weather sealing rating requires payment to the "cert". so there's a chance the s9 is "sealed" but just not certified. 😊 i'm just sold my g9ii and pre ordered the gh7, getting the s9 next week! very excited for a fun full frame and a powerhouse m43

I'm expecting everything the GH7 plus more dynamic range and internal ND filters and Netflix cert. Hopefully they give it BRAW internal as well.

And the fill light? ;-) Good points.

I left the A7Siii and came back to Lumix with the S5ii.

I've always preferred the color science and the skin tones of Panasonic. And yes, being able to use shutter angle is a huge time saver. The GH7 is a good reason to switch back to Panasonic for me. I have the Sony FX30, and it's a great camera. But, the features of the GH7 is great for my narrative film work. I do think the AF is at Sony level in the GH7. I'm not able to switch to the GH7 yet, but, it is on my wishlist. Plus, for Sony to have a "cinema" line of cameras without shutter angle is kinda weird. Anyway, thanks for your commentary.

Nice work, Arber. I feel the same man. I sold my A7SIII as well. Deciding if I sell the other two coming up now. The lumix stuff is a lot more fun to use as well. It's kinda motivating to use. :)

I like to see your video you always explain your decisions and also with some footages. Which Sony camera of Sony where you are using? Did you use the FX3 and FX30? Panasonic misses powered lenses, which Sony does have in both APS-C and Fullframe.

Bra video. M-H

Hey! It's possible do a AF testar usina a Sigma Lens with M43 EF adaptador?

Hey Arber, I saw the 18-40 in your hands... so you're testing it already 😮 You're a lucky guy! You could give us a little preview, we'll keep the secret

exactly. i'm getting it but without the 20-60mm kit cause it doesn't work with the ethos. haha prolly get some used sigma contemporaries while waiting for the 18-40

Thanks for the video. However, I would like to know what kind of camera you are using to record this video. Quality is awesome

this was a good review, I watched your GH6 videos way back before i got the GH6 and i would trust your recommendation because your a GH6 user and not just a youtube talking head who dont use GH6 or 5.. so this make more sense.

gh7 with Lens booster canon fd lens Dji focus pro ....game over

Frankensteined shite IMO.

Is it possible to record the 2 XLR inputs AND the 3/4 input at the same time with 32bit float? So 4 Channel 32bit?

The GH7 is what the GH6 should have been. The PDAF is what all lumix users want and it's now here. The GH7 i think will fade into the background in a few months. The price being 2k for just the body will mean most lumix users won't rush to get it. Also the CFexpress cards will mean the camera will be cost more in the long run. Lumix releasing 6 cameras in 3 years is great for new gear junkies but for those who have the G9ii or the S5ii/x the GH7 will be a camera that they don't have any reason to get

Great 🎉

What we want is a lumix follow focus motor to link to the gh7 to use face detection on all manuel lens !! ✊🏼

Nice discussion

Awesome work, Arber! Your reviews are always great. Love seeing Malmo as well. it's such a nice place.

Why didn't you show more footage from the camera? Very disappointing. Talking is one thing but show us what you are talking about.

You put out the BEST reviews from the GH line. No Fluff NO Bluff !

You mf/af inconvenience is exactly my experience when I have g9II.

On my Panasonic GH5 II I have open gate 5k 30fps. I was expecting 5k-5.7k 60fps, but of course, yet again, we are being dripfed small incremental updates...

Thanks for the review! I'm still using a GH5 and I know the GH7, even the G9ii would be a huge improvement. But I'm honest. The image quality coming out of the GH7 didn't impress me like for instance the S5ii. This is what I'm looking for the most. I don't think I would use RAW recording. Give me a great LOG profile with 14+ stops of dynamic range and I'll be happy! The S5ii can do that. I have to invest in lenses of course and actually there are some full frame lenses that are not too big. 32bit float? Nice but I never used that and I'm not going to need it any time soon. I'm a little bit disappointed a thought there will be an improvement in image quality from the G9ii. So might go with full frame. I was very exited when the GH7 was announced! Thanks for the review :)

The GH7 is close to perfection. The only limitation is image quality not as good as full frame.

put a raw format tha davinci can read

Not UFO detection? Pass

Nice one man, hope to see some more GH7 stuff from you

Great to see a review of the GH7. A remark about internal RAQ, Nikon has also internal rea recording in mirrorless cameras.

The best of the best. ! Period.

Only one flaw ? 😜

for that af function, you can tune the AF settings to be less responsive. for most scenarios it will do

The idea to have an focus lock function that can be assigned to a button is great. I think it should work like AE-lock as long as you press the button. Are you sure the 32 bit works with the 3.5 mic input? I have heard in another video that it only works for XLR.

Could you please share the footage from gh7 as you did with gh6 back in a days? Thanks!

the button that you wish for (autofocus) is available. af lock can be configured to be active as long as you press a button.

But I was told that DaVinci's auto align by waveform works 100% and therefore 32b float internal is a pointless/overrated feature.
