The Cheapest Netflix Approved Cinema Camera | Lumix BGH1 Review

@Patrick Tomasso I really appreciate this video and it has convinced me to pick one up. I am have the Sirui 35 and 50 anamorphic Micro 4/3rds lenses. Any chance you have them and could shoot a test? I still intend to get this either way, but I love the anamorphic look. :D Great review, btw.

[@impatrickt]

@@thechromeangel5559 I have a review of the 24mm Anamorphic for MFT. I don’t have this BGH1 anymore though so I can’t test it. I would consider the image pretty much identical to anything you’ve seen from a GH5s with slightly better dynamic range.

I've been flying this little guy on a DJI RS2 underslung on a jib and it's amazing! Great 4K 10-bit 4.2.2 footage to a ninja V at the base of the jib thru the HDMI while simultaneously sending a 1080p signal thru the SDI to a client monitor. If we want to stream that same signal we can add a LAN. We can do those 3 at once. Put a DZOFilm Linglung lens and you got the smallest parfocal/parcentric cinema rig that is netflix approved. I do wish it had at least a tiny screen as well but for my work I always use the ninja V. To add to your battery section, I'd suggest looking into the CoreSWX VBR version as it has an additional Dtap output. It powers both the BGH1 with my ninja V for ~4hrs of continuous recording. Only con is that it's 4 inches long and though that's not a lot, on such a tiny camera that thing sticks out A LOT. Great review!

[@impatrickt]

This is exactly the kind of setup I imagined this camera would flourish in. People are upset because it’s not a pure cinema camera but I was never meant to be. It’s purpose built for situations and scenarios just like this. Amazing!

[@roblivings7447]

You've officially sold me. I want a cinema camera, but not a huge rig. This into the ninja, with a cage and handle for handheld (and easy to switch to my gimbal) is perfect for fast cinematic shooting. The Netflix approval is HUGE for affordable cinema. This will be a nice upgrade from the GH4, and I can still fly that as a b-cam. Probably going to go with the EF DZOFilm lenses instead of MFT (so I can use on other cameras too) but yeh, good stuff!

[@Myers_toast78]

It’s the their only FAIL right now. Looks like they failed at cubism again with the 6K Pro.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

‘Tis a good looking Netflix box.

[@DennisSchmitz]

Biggest difference to the GH5s internally is the 12 bit ADC readout which allows for much better dynamic range (comparable to Pocket 4K now) and the lack of sharpening which is the reason the footage doesn't look like cheap DSLM footage anymore.

[@contentm3893]

Serious?

i know that feeling bro, when you pick up a camera. it must be inspiring to do so. even if the image is good, the blackmagic body is such a hassle that you need to rig it especially the battery part to make it usable. that's why i decided to go with the red komodo or the a7siii when i have the budget

Superb review! I must admit the ergonomics and body-style makes this camera really interesting. One thing to note about the battery situation of the BGH1: These batteries are quite common with Panasonic's lineup of camcorders from their professional broadcast division and very easy to source and ubiquitous in ENG/EFP applications. hope that helps.

the S5 made me realize the opposite. i should have switched to full frame years ago. i could never stand the 2x crop and weird lenses you have to buy… not to mention the crappy low light etc. now that the new FF lenses are so small and light i dont see much benefit for MFT. and the best MFT lenses out now are huge.

Something people need to know, Netflix approval is something you get when you've been asked to shoot a piece for Netflix. Its a list of cameras that Netflix have pre-approved so that there isn't any confusion between filmmaker and executives when deciding what kind of quality Netflix needs to uphold when producing its originals. If you make a movie on you phone Netflix might still pick it up Steven Soderbergh films. Please don't let this kind of thing be something you consider when you're choosing a camera.

[@impatrickt]

Yeah, I said it doesn't matter. But I think its important for industry perception and what cameras people take seriously. You can't pitch a film to netflix on your S5 - unless you shot it already.

[@JamesHayes1]

@@impatrickt I apologize I didn't watch the video all the way through. I do have to say however you wouldn't pitch a film that you've already shot to Netflix anyway. Netflix inst the whole industry and I think that if people focus too much on what cameras they should be buying then the quality of their filmmaking goes down.

[@impatrickt]

@@JamesHayes1 again I agree - but the industry, as a whole still does not take mirrorless cameras seriously. this is one step towards a much better future of cheap and accessible cameras that we can all use without any stigma. I cant change the past or why people think this way but we need to accept thats the way it is. its why people rig their sony's up and put matte boxes on. it sucks but it's true.

[@KallusGarnet]

I hate the BMPCC4k form factor it's the only thing stopping from buying it, as well as it's rolling shutter, I would rather get the RED Komodo. This camera is a studio cam I like it alot but the price is too high

Netflix approves this camera for original Netflix content, what it means, first of all project must be approved by netflix then you can choose between many cameras including this one, but only as a second camera. you can use whatever you want to do your documental or movie and if is interesting netflix will buy you and stream it.

[@impatrickt]

Who said otherwise?

[@teodor_b_g]

The colors in the end footage are incredible! Are they true to how the locations looked in person or have you redone the whole thing and made it look cinematic? I'm really curious because that would be the deciding factor in my opinion. If you were the one who made it look cinematic, and the camera just recorded the standard image, then I'd most likely just stick with Blackmagic :) (I mean, I'm 99% sticking with Blackmagic, but I'm just wondering about the colors hahaha)

[@impatrickt]

I think the BGH1 and the P4K are really neck and neck. In terms of an out of the box image I definitely think the BGH1 needs less work and feels more natural. You can totally get them both to look the same though. Choose the form factor you like best!

@@simonmonty7171 cine-d is one of the worst profiles I’ve ever seen on a camera. if you need a nice straight out of camera look shoot cine-v. the GH5s and BGH1 use a different sensor than the GH5 so it’s always going to look different even with the same V-Log L.

@@impatrickt I get you but I believe your opinion on Cine D is a bit drastic and would invite you check my latest video out. Might not be the best profile I agree, but the worst, I cannot agree. To each his own of course, but I feel it has not treated me too bad lately even If I made plenty of technical errors when it came to exposing, white balance, etc..

@@simonmonty7171 yeah it’s really the worst profile. makes skin look alien and the colors are just awful. you lose dynamic range as well.
