Uh oh..no phase detect AF. That's the miss that will cause me to look harder at OM-1.Comment

Maybe wait to see what Panasonic did with AF. OM-1 will be a great still camera.Originally posted by Tom Roper View PostComment

According to DPReview even with phase detect the AF on the OM-1 is not stunning.Originally posted by Tom Roper View Post
Phase detect is not without its flaws and DFD has the potential to be better someday. We shall see if this is that day.Comment

If the notion of the camera cartel is legitimate, it seems Panasonic has done the best it can with DFD. While it may not be enough for some, it seems it would be as good as it possibly could be. Likely better than any of us would have expected from DFD right now, anyway. The samples in the non private video were not perfect nor as good as the best AF out there, but they were not bad. This one has been beaten to death and no doubt, it will be a make it or break it feature for many. It is what it is. All we can do is wait for more sample footage and reviews in 5 days.Comment

To be fair, the OM-1 is missing 422, but the 4K 60P 10 bit h.265 looked very good as did the footage in low light looked pretty decent. I'm not sure either camera GH6 or OM-1 floats my boat over the GH5S on a gimbal and praying the DFD holds focus on the bride. The GH6 has high bit rate 10b 422 modes which should look good but I've been through at least 3 iterations of DFD and I'm done with it. The OM-1 video doesn't seem to suffer too badly from lack of 422 though and the long GOP modes would be media friendly. There's 12 bit 444 raw to an optional recorder through a mini-HDMI that doesn't excite me, but I guess for someone with the patience for Rube Goldberg, there's that. Both cameras have gone under the cripple knife in my opinion, but you're right; I haven't been fair to the GH6 but DFD has me gaggling with hate.Comment

Video is already set to private. Somebody made a booboo.Comment

It's still available on 43 rumors. I don't know for how long.Originally posted by Thomas Smet View Post

Doesn't Alexa do something similar with two gain circuits to help extend dynamic range?Originally posted by filmguy123 View Post
It isn't exactly magic and a common way photography creates HDR. Totally valid way to extend dynamic range in a camera. Its just not always possible with video because of howe fast the sensor has to readout for just normal video. There was nothing left to be able to pull off something like this until now.
Its almost always been a given that log will likely need ND filters. Even without shooting log I'm not sure how anybody gets away with shooting video without some level of ND filtering. 2000 ISO is a good sign we may be finally getting full V log on the GH6 and can kiss V-log L goodbye forever. We hope.

Yes but Alexa had a lot more processing power for the frame interpolation and even that didn't always work (according to the old JB posts). Presumably, a decade later, one could squeeze enough of it inside a relatively tiny hybrid body.Originally posted by Thomas Smet View Post
PS. Side note - this looks to be a totally new, previously unannounced, sensor. Which may explain the delay in the GH-6 introduction. Whoever made the sensor had to do it to Panasonic's specs. It's also likely that Panasonic revised the requirements somewhere along the way. It's also very likely that the company wasn't sure when the sensor was going to be available and was forced into the GH5MKII as the interim solution. Ah, the best laid plans.
The 100 MPX is likely off a pixel shift rather than off a Quad Bayer singe frame but the 4X in-camera composite seems to be possible these days. Once again, one needs to interpolate the various frames to avoid digital "smudges" and, for that, one needs some beefy processing but it can be done. OM-1, as we have discussed earlier, does it as well. Maybe GH-6 will do it even better.Comment

And we’ve got a full spec 8 page PDF leak on scribD:
https://photorumors.com/2022/02/16/p...ed-online/amp/
looks like the OLED EVF is same as GH5 at 3.68 million dots (so not as good as S1H 5.7 million) and the LCD screen seems it is slightly smaller than GH5, coming in at 3.0” instead of 3.2”. However it’s an increase in pixels up from 1.6 million to 1.84 million. So perhaps they did this to make the screen sharper and maybe brighter?
anyway, lots more specs there… have at it…Comment

In another news, score a deal on 3 GHx cameras with a boatload of batteries for sale from yours truly…

Right, same as DGO on canon, I believe. But I believe that those implementations are combinations of sequential readouts. I'm not sure, but I got the impression that the new Olympus and gh6 might finally be doing what was rumored for the a7siii (and did not come to pass). They might take advantage of the quad Bayer pattern to utilize alternating high-gain and low-gain photosites within the same 2x2 patch that becomes a single pixel. So, the 2 different exposures would be registered simultaneously and not sequentially. But I could be wrong. Somebody tell meOriginally posted by Thomas Smet View PostComment
