  • The filmmakers guide to the Panasonic Lumix GH6 with all key features, test, and review
    One cam to do it all… One cam to rule them all… at least in its class.
    Five years in the making, the GH6 came to take the crown of the Micro Four Third format from his predecessor… the GH5. And as it was to be expected, the GH6 continues the legacy of being an "all in one" powerhouse for filmmakers.
    We will take a look from a professional filmmakers perspective.
    We will give you a tour around the camera, the specs, and what they mean.
    Test the image quality and some of the new features with our short film “Hypnagogia”.
    Take a deep dive in the key features.
    Compare the GH6 to the GH5 to find out if it is worth the upgrade .
    And let you know our first impression.

    Key features for filmmakers:
    - A new 25 Megapixel sensor
    - An extended dynamic range… using a method quite similar to the one that gives the Arri Alexa it’s film like look.
    - Internal ProRes HQ in 5.7Ks
    - Slow motion galore… that means up to 120fps in 4K, and up to 300 fps in FHD
    - RAW over HDMI
    - USB recording
    - Much improved low light capabilities compared to the GH5
    - Improved IBIS and Dual IS
    - A ton of anamorphic modes
    - Internal LUTs
    - Full Vlog
    - Waveform
    All that is possible due to a new Venus engine which also requires (a GH first) a fan.
    It will be in stores beginning of March 2022, and it will cost 2.200 dollars… euros… is supposed to be the same.

      Exactly!!! So many CZcamsrs are once again completely missing the monster capabilities of this camera and it’s focus, much like the GH5 was.

  • @ForestCinema
    @ForestCinema Před 2 lety +33

    There are D-tap to USB adapters that have an integrated dongle for PowerDelivery compatibility. I use one to run my S1H off of V-Mount batteries over USB, which will CHARGE the internal battery as opposed to slowly draining it. I find that better, because the internal battery can keep the camera powered and recording while I swap V-Mounts, which is something impossible when using a dummy battery.

  • @bencushwa8902
    @bencushwa8902 Před 2 lety +19

    As someone who primarily shoots stills on full frame DSLRs (and also loves vintage manual focus glass), this is the first camera geared more towards cinema/video that I've found appealing: the stabilization, boosted dynamic range, and impressive in-body recording capabilities really stand out. No need to buy an external recorder, no need to change my visual style from my high DR photography, and all of this in a compact and very reasonably-priced package.
    I wasn't planning on buying a dedicated cinema/video camera this year...but now I'm considering it.
    Thanks for the great video. Wonderful work as always, both visually and technically.

    @asolidmindproductions Před 2 lety +2

    This is BY FAR, thee absolute BEST review of the GH6 (which doesn't surprise me because this channel always puts out excellent content), especially because its from a filmmakers perspective which is who this camera is for. I get why some CZcamsrs don't like it as they are in front of the camera and thus rely on AF and/or brand bias, but if you're behind the camera and need pro level specs with a good amount of versatility and at a budget when compared to buying a proper cine camera, then this is it. In the end, as you state, the audience won't care what camera you used, story/content is king so these are all just different tools for different work. Thank you for making great videos!

    • @MediaDivision
      @MediaDivision  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks a lot man! AF is totally fine for things where one wants auto focus… like for vlogging. The talkies of this episode are filmed using AF on a BS1H. GH6 is at least just as good. GH6 is a fine tool for almost everything. My pleasure!

    I literally bought this camera after seeing this video the day I discovered it on youtube and since I use it I am the happiest filmmaker in the neighborhood, using anamorphic lenses natively this camera has made me earn more money than any other in the past, I always used full frame until I knew the speed of the sensor of this camera at 300 fps, you are the best youtube channel, I am a super fan of what you do.

    The dynamic range boost and Dual IS combo is game changing. All the internal recording options is also insane. Leave it to the GH line on continuing to be the benchmark for what mirror-less DSLRs can do. Was hoping to find a run n' gun variant that could keep up with the BMPCC 4k and I believe this is it. As much as I love my S5, I'm pretty sure I'm going to sell it to get the GH6.
    Also, spectacular break down as always. This channel deserves more views and recognition.

    • @MediaDivision
      @MediaDivision  Před 2 lety

      I think it will play along well with a pocket 4k... and fill one or another gap.

      Damn, now I'm debating this vs. the Pocket 6k Pro. Kind of wish I could sell the Pocket 4k for the Pocket 6k Pro and also have a GH6 for travel content and photos, then I'm set. Tough call. Hard to give up braw and more DR though.

    • @charliecooper3030
      @charliecooper3030 Před 2 lety

      @@MediaDivision Also want to say that your coverage of it is exactly what I needed to see. Watched several other channels' reviews that are mainstays for camera coverage and only yours had the focus on cinematic use, upsides without the empty hype, and downsides with caveats that make me realize maybe that tiny bit of extra dynamic range in the BMPCC cameras isn't worth the hassle at times, even if I also shoot with mostly Leica R glass lately.

As a MFT user (BMPCC 4K), I do see the beauty in these cameras and would love to have a play with this beast and see where it would fit in to my workflow and creativity. The fact that this camera can film 4:3 is really intriguing as a REAL anamorphic cine cam.

    I remember the first project i shot with the gh6, an industrial video with hard conditions of lighting and difficult access (climbing, tunnels...). Mostly shot on mft primes (laowa 7.5 f2 , leica 15/1.7 25/ 1.4 and 35-100 2.8, The footage turned out incredible, and the compactness and stabilisation of this camera allowed shot that would have been just impossible with a bigger camera.
    Now i shoot also with s5 mk2 when i need AF/ tiny dof/low light... Trying prores raw for the next big project hopping itll bring something...

    • @MediaDivision

      Thanks a lot. Sorry, no… I never owned a Sony camera. My Mavo LF and the S Lumix use Sony sensors (to my knowledge) from the same Sensor family the ones you named.
      In the end, the camera matters little. It is how you shoot and how you process your footage that matters. Nothing I ever done couldn't be done with a A7III, a Pocket 4K or a GH6 for that matter… except super high speed fps and experimental stuff of course. Practicality matter a lot!

    highly coincidental that yesterday I was researching for alternatives to Sony a73. then discovered Panasonic s5. now 2022/02/22 1030 Caleb, anamorphic on budget and you MD are reviewing this legacy camera.
    I believe this is calling for me to shift to Panasonic. I have been searching for upgrade from canon r to hybrid camera with 4k beuacse people push me to make videos. more I learn about video cameras. lead me to you MD. you are reason why I appreciate contax 1.7 and bought canon fd 50. please do keep educating the youth.

    • @JeremiahBostwick
      @JeremiahBostwick Před 2 lety +1

      The GH6 has a lot of really unique specs. I still think the A7S3 is the top mirrorless camera to beat for film focused camera buyers. It simply has the best AF, full frame, high ISO, and some of the best back-end workflow with a well known gamma. It still has more DR than the GH6 despite its dual-gain sensor.
      But if you want to play around with anamorphic, need extra resolution, etc then Panasonic is intriguing (being on MFT after FF feels super bad to me, but some don’t see that as a problem).
      Personally I wouldn’t consider Panasonic unless you’re planning on investing in their larger ecosystem. Such as a Varicam. Otherwise when building up the FX6 and C70 are just so strong it makes the lower end options from other brands look way less compelling. In other words it’s not just about ‘a’ camera. It’s how it fits into a larger ecosystem.
      For the Media Division, they also shoot on an EVA1. It makes a lot of sense for them as a part of their camera package.
      EDIT: My feelings are more or less confirmed after watching Gerald Undone's quick review. Sony has much better DR, frame size, AF, and noise/iso performance. 4k 120 out of the A7S3 will have better DR as well, as the dual gain on GH6 has to be disabled in that mode.
      Panasonic's big advantages will be having all of the internal video assist features. All of the different anamorphic desqueeze options. It will have better IBIS and combinations with IS.
      When it comes to external recording, the A7S3 is still ahead there as the 16-bit RAW output allows for 12-bit LOG-RAW. The GH6 only allows for 12-bit linear RAW. It's a huge data difference. Internal recording I'd say they're mostly equal. Although the GH6 has higher bitrates (internal ProRes), the A7S3 has more compressed codecs (all-intra h.265). So the GH6 will be easier to decode out of the box, but in terms of preserved data, I'd say it's equal. Obviously the resolution nod goes to the GH6, but I would prefer the higher DR out of the A7S3.

    Tho, I'd love it if you invested a bit more time into better audio. The noise is slightly annoying, and a huge bottleneck in your otherwise amazing visual and narrative parts :). Something like a pencil style overhead mic would definitely suit your channels quality more than a lavalier picking up the noise from a leather jacket (last video).

    Q: What is that crazy spark thrower shown in the slow motion shots?

Shame that they don't include dual native like the gh5s or S1h. Otherwise, a great camera to use for another 5 years.

    I’m buying this camera before the end of the year. Need a video camera that does it all and will last a while. I had the Sony a6100. That thing overheated on me shooting 4K content. It also wasn’t shooting in 4K60 either. I make workout videos so I need smooth videos to capture the movements I’m doing.

    • @MediaDivision
      @MediaDivision  Před rokem

      I think the GH6 will do just fine for that… 120fps 4K could really give you the "study" of a movement in brilliant quality. Make sure to do that in a well light setting.-

    The stabilization and recording modes on the GH6 looks amazing. I am curious about the dynamic range boost, why not choose, for example, 400 and 2000 ISO for the dual gain output to get even more dynamic range? Is there any hardware limitation or other reasons why other dual gain options are not available?

    • @MediaDivision
      @MediaDivision  Před 2 lety +1

      I don't know… I am not a sensor designer, but I guess it not possible to set native ISO that far apart (no sensor does). Maybe it ha to do with photo ability, too. No hybrid camera carrie a sensor designed for the task of filming in focus.

    Congrats my friend, and no clue how I missed it
    Enjoyed every second of it !
    Looking for a new cam and was thinking FF but maybe I need to change my mind
    I was focused on the S5 but as far as I can filter this is a 'better' S1H minus the FF sensor and slightly less low light performance
    But the 4K 120, all codecs and the IBIS are next level
    And yes the AF, but that seems to be more a Sony owners issue ... 😉
    Now, as we both like vintage glass, do you see the Metabones XL 0.64 or 0.71 as a disadvantage ?
    Or in general, do you find the 2x crop factor an issue ?
