[@tarantulacollective]

Damn. I knew I shouldn't have bought the gh6 and waited for the gh7. Cursed by my own impatience.

[@gioriv]

Me too

[@JoshuaFaleatua]

Me too 😢

[@jojimonty2506]

Mine is just 14 months old 😩

[@haulfilms]

same boat 😪

[@ademdingin]

Same here

[@allanoboma]

The most exciting thing about this announcement from Panasonic is the future acquisition of Arri log C. Which for us GH6 shooters is a blessing we thought we were forgotten forever

[@kenslyder]

After making content on KZbin with my GH5, I'm going to buy the GH7 as soon it hits the market. This is my upgrade from the GH5 but I will still using the GH5 for some video comparison test's. Thanks for the video Caleb, great job!

[@JeremiahNichol]

So glad I waited for this

[@GeekyNerdyTechy]

Awesome job, Caleb! Your videos are always enjoyable man!

[@PlayingwithSticks]

FINALLY! Thanks Caleb. I may have to make the switch back.

[@YoungSlay]

lol there is a Gh7? I’m still on the GH5 and loving it.

[@MrSTravelQuest]

Thanks for making this video. I want to upgrade, what’s that autofocus like. Is it on the Canon and Sony level? I’m looking forward in hearing more about the GH7.

[@StanTregubenko]

For all micro4/3 would say - FINALLY, something what we all were looking for!)

[@castielvargastv7931]

The price is really good. I bought the og gh5 for the same price in 2018. Considering inflation gh7 is much cheaper than gh5 and it can do much more.

[@ricdagreat]

Mann Ngl I started on the lumix g7 and I loved it bought the GH5S and loved it… the let down on the GH6 was just way to hard to bear being they made us wait like 5 or so years I switched to Sony and got he FX30 and have not been disappointed since hate they waited this long for the real GH6

[@benderocks788]

On the GH7, can you record on both and at the same time, on the SD and the CF Express card? The GH5 offered to record on both SD card slots at the same time, which is a layer of safety should one of the SD card fail. I think the GH6 was not offering this SD/CF Express dual recording...

[@przewodnikwjaponii]

My biggest regret is selling my GH5, now I have G85 but it's not the same... hopefully one day I will be able to shoot with GH7 :] Thanks for the video and all the best from Tokyo! K

[@jhernandezpvd]

I just love feeling ripped off by buying a GH6,

[@sauzefilms]

if Panny release a modern GM/GX model with their latest PDAF and silky IBIS, i'd cop that. tbh the GH series is too big for my liking and usecase, but DAYUM the footages do look great.

[@gruvie]

I‘m with you. I love the dual native ISO on my GH5s. This was a downgrade with my GH6. But it‘s the only thing I would miss on a GH7. And it would be the first time I would use the audio extension for 32bit audio.

[@StatementProd]

GG banget Panasonic

[@florianschfr]

Damn, I already got the G9ii. But on the other side I do not really need the additional video features. The most important for me are already in the G9ii. Might buy the new audio adapter though. Is it already clear if it will be compatible to G9ii as well?

[@info-vodice]

There is no streaking lines issue?. I bought a GH6 which had this pronounced problem and I had to sell it, and Panasonic didn't even apologize to the GH6 users. How can I trust them?

[@castielvargastv7931]

The price is really good. I bought the og gh5 for the same price in 2018. Considering inflation gh7 is much cheaper than gh5 and it can do much more.

[@TopshelfJunior]

Random: Lumix stabilization on M43 cameras is better than it is on their full frame cameras. They're not far off but, they just have it more dialed on M43 lol.

[@joaobeardman]

I always wish a Hybrid camera that record RAW internaly, and my options today are Canon R5 ( 2,9K dol to expensive ), GH7 ( 2,2K dol ) and Nikon Z6iii (2,5k dol ) but I think the diference in price between Nikon (a full frame camera ) and Gh7 is to small.

[@cineffect]

I was hoping for a global shutter and a smaller body.

[@JB04111]

Awesome vid! What lens did you use on GH7 shots?

[@LakeshoreProductionsTV]

Oh man that is nice

[@kenslyder]

it is! I'm gonna buy it!

[@LakeshoreProductionsTV]

I saw that. Wow, congrats 👏 I'll definitely want to upgrade to it later on, but I still love my gh5 . I've been using panasonic cameras since the 90s great brand.

[@dre1z3hn]

I'm looking forward to the autofocus tests. For the gh6 and the folus problem I get the dji lidar. I wouldn't sell my gh6.

[@CUTONTHEACTION]

Thanks for the first look Caleb! 128 GB CF Express Type B card - no thanks, that's barely big enough for 4K all-intra. We run 2TB cards in our GH6 and shoot ProRes or ProRes HQ usually when not going ProRes Raw to an Atomos V. We now run DR boost exclusively on the GH6 with lots of ND as we're running fast Nikkor primes through a Metabones Speedbooster. We somewhat expose to the right but stay out of the very top of the luminance curve and have little problem with noise on the bottom end. GH7's lower ISO with DR boost will be great but we've gotten very good results with the GH6. Yes a GH7 is in our near future; in addition to our GH6 we also have a GH5s and an EVA1 and they match very well in Vlog with multi-camera shoots . We are also a Red shop and were one of the very first Red One owners.

[@vesku2676]

Two years and no new features. Just collection of g92 ang gh6. This is gh6 mk2. Every GH generatin got impressive new innovations and resolutions. GH7 not.

[@scottcieri2750]

Would love to see a test of the train/plane autofocus (also hoping it comes to the S5IIX) I got my GH6 last year and picked up an S5IIX this year. May be worth trading in the GH6.

[@fanimations2363]

Did anyone notice Moiré on the green clothing at 8:34?

[@RobertJohnPhotography]

Yes on her shirt. That is not good. Noticed it right away.

[@keithnisbet]

Since there's no OLPF, there will always be some moire, I guess. It wasn't too bad. An SH-1 has it. But look at the price. Most seem to value sharpness over softer look these days. ​@RobertJohnPhotography

[@fanimations2363]

@@keithnisbet yeah, got it!

[@RobertJohnPhotography]

@@keithnisbet I've had my S1H since it came out. Filmed everything including in recording studios where Moiré really shows up on sound proofing and Amps. Has not happened with my S1H. I know that it could show up, just hasn't for me. I noticed it right away in this video. I saw another guys video from his S5IIX, he showed Moiré on his jeans. Another guy was filming a brick building and getting it really bad. I know it's rare and lighting has to be right. I'm waiting for the new version of my camera. Hopefully they keep the OLPF in.

[@keithnisbet]

@@RobertJohnPhotography That was my point. I am in agreement. It isn't a major issue at all with the S1H. You're fortunate to own one. But of course it's in a different price category than the GH7. So I guess some of us have to put up with the moiré curse. Glad you're enjoying the S1H. No need for another camera as far as I can guess.

[@martysender5539]

a gh6 with PDAF. I've seen comparisons, and the color from the gh6 out of the box is still better than the new 7, more "delicious". Pro Res Raw? need new 5T SSD and new computer...lol. I'm sure (not) my You Tube viewers will notice on their 4 inch smartphone screens. I think next step for me is FF. but finally a gh5/6 with PDAF. I actually think the DFD in my 6 works pretty good most of the time. but another $2500? I dunno. thanks for the review . do more ps I am disappointed still the CF and SD card combo, would have preferred two V90 slots. owell

[@ItsJFox]

Great vid Caleb! So, which camera do you recommend for all-around video if you're starting without glass? S5iiX or GH7?

[@ademdingin]

Does GH7 photo quality improve significantly from GH6?

[@UniquelyMary]

I have the g9ii and am mostly video centered KZbinr - what do you think? How do they compare?

[@venacorchea]

I hope on the GH7 and or future firmware updates we would be able to reduce the sharpness recording in vlog.

[@madedigital]

Pro res is a joke....giant file sizes and does not work on davinci

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

GH Daddy?

[@It228480]

I better get news about S5iix getting 32bit float and pro res raw update soon or I'm selling

[@benderocks788]

What's the low-light performance / quality of the GH7 vs GH6 and GH5?

[@Ey3shi3ldtv]

NO 1440p resolutions . I wish they add this like 180fps 2.7 K

[@allenfpascua]

cant wait for your speedbooster + gh7 review :D

[@kennethgooswit3697]

Nice cam, butgive us BRAW, leave Prores RAW for the mac fanatics

[@MyFriendlyPup]

Mr Full Frame came back to his m43 roots. Forgot what made him.

[@justarandomstranger6467]

Whoah the Moire at 8:30 was INSANE on her shirt. Is that youtube thing or is that happening in camera??

[@keithnisbet]

I believe it's due to the lack of an optical low pass filter which allows for sharper video but risks moiré in certain circumstances

[@sloppysteaks]

this is the sequel to the gh5 we wanted for sure. god i wish it came out around the same time as s5ii.

[@NorthernHistory]

Will this fit the rigging elements of the GH5?

[@rowanstrang8072]

can someone please clarify what 50fps 4:3 Open Gate modes this camera supports? Proxies at the least? any improvements over the Gh6? or is it just 4.4k with a significant crop?

[@mostlyfinnishlifeeventsand5112]

surely NOT full sensor open gate :( That's capped at 30p, while the sensor would be capable of 48p.

[@jojimonty2506]

Wonder if there will be any nice trade in deals for the GH6 to upgrade to the GH7

[@cameronboydkirrane9115]

Where's the low light capabilities of the GH5s?

[@Directorvhim]

Don't forget guys, GH6 will be waay cheaper rn and the GH7 is more like GH6 that attended a private school. y'all welcome.

[@BrunoVilelaIS]

moire at 8:30 :/ but nothing we would not expect.

[@urzaaaaa]

What's that big lens you have on it? That beautiful bokeh is from that?

[@Murofly]

wish you did more tests in 24fps but nice video

[@limbotvperu6867]

what about the streaking issue?

[@nagramTo]

When will be LUMIX Lab for iOS?

[@mostlyfinnishlifeeventsand5112]

1, Love 32-bit support (24-bit and the constant need to keep an eye on audio levels during shooting is the only thing I HATE in my S5 II compared to my, yes, iPhone 14PM and my Rode Wireless Pro mikes). I REALLY hope 32-bit FP is backported to older cameras like the S5 II; I hate supervising audio and the terrible quality of the sound when it's auto-limited. (But at least it isn't clipped - that's the only positive I can say...) 2, disappointed by the lack of MP4 Lite. I really hope they don't keep it as an S9 exclusive. An 50 Mbps 4k 3:2 fullgate codec would be REALLY useful for some kinds of for example extra-longtime (multi-hour) recordings where the 200 Mbps LongGOP regular videos would just not be feasible. 3, disappointed by the lack of, say, 48p at OG. The hardware would just be sufficient for it, unlike for 60p OG. For 60p, 16.67ms would be needed; however, for 48p, which needs at least 20.83ms and the camera, according to Gerard's test, is capable of 20.34. That is, 48p would JUST be feasible.

[@kennyadvocat]

wow, This looks very nice! Way smaller than the G9ii. That's a game changer!

[@jockslifeatliftvideoproduc8528]

What are you talking about? The G9ii is smaller than the GH6 (which the GH7 is the exact same camera body)... The G9ii is also lighter... The G9ii's dimensions are 134 x 102 x 90 mm and weighs 658 g the GH6s 139 x 100 x 100mm and weighs 823 g

[@kennyadvocat]

@@jockslifeatliftvideoproduc8528 horrible news then. =/

[@kennyadvocat]

Horrible news then. =(

[@overnightdelivery]

It's pretty much a G9ii with RAW internal recording and a better screen. The extra size and thickness is needed for cooling of 4/6K video. Still small in comparison to what a similar featured FF camera would be.

[@kentmemories]

The look of your video is very beautiful.

[@ericlaurence69]

What lenses did you use in this video?

[@orinorio1]

The GH7 is what the GH6 should have been. I feel for none KZbinr who bought the GH6 as they know have to save again to get the GH7.

[@scottmorgason]

Love it! Can’t wait hear more about that Arri Lut that you can buy!

[@dankaprzemek2218]

We live in the LUMIX Era.

[@MrTaco-ei5hl]

Yes I agree with you. Dual ISO would have been awesome. 🤞maybe on the BGh2. You still have me thinking of a box cinema camera!

[@thefullsetup]

What lens are you using?

[@DroneStories]

It is true that, when you have a camera, of a company, and have invested in lenses, you consider yourself "part of the team." AFTER ALL !! It's time to smile again with the new GH7 (after the sad events, with the unbelievably bad s9) and say: well done Panasonic.

[@christianfluaittfilms7191]

Picked up the g9ii about two months ago because I needed a new camera to go with my gh5s, and didn’t want the dfd auto focus in the 6. Might have to return it now once I see some more gh7 content. I’ve got until July 2nd to decide. 😬

[@jon112media]

dropped the professional word niiiice!!!! I agree it actually is. prores raw internal. ssd over usb c and all that jazz I'm a fan. thanks bro!

[@jasonkritzberg8777]

When does it release?

[@lumixS5M2]

Low light test?

[@JWS1968]

Just get the S5ii. Dual native ISO lets me shoot in almost any environment with virtually no noise. It's auto focus is stella. Full frame open gate 10bit V_LOG ... and cheaper. I got mine NEW off Amazon with the kit lens for £1700. It's a slam dunk, no brainer.

[@castielvargastv7931]

You cant compare s52 with gh7 if it comes to professional video.gh7 is for people who are really serious with video.

[@HobbyistLifestyle]

Wow, that's impressive! Lots of improvement!😎🤙

[@rohisphere]

Amazing video. Thank you. I have a question regarding the 4.4k 4:3 video. Is it a full sensor readout like the 5.8k or is that a cropped? Thank you

[@rileyedwardsfilms]

From what I’ve seen on another video that mentioned it was open gate

[@spacelord1913]

Making these thumbnails looks like fun!

[@ihustlemuzikfilms]

No more updates to gh6?

I still love GH5s

[@andrewh4216]

Just wondering what lense you erre using on the camera?

[@JB04111]

Wondering too! So beautiful

[@chinitopinoy1726]

This was a fail for GH7. No future proofing for high frame rates. 4K 200 fps or 240 fps should've been a feafure. Icing on the cake would've been good quality 1080P or 2K 960 fps.even if limited to 2 second recording end trigger mode.
