I have both a GH5 and a GH6. The GH5 is a great camera that I still use at times for various reasons. However, the GH6 can do everything the GH5 can do, plus a lot more. I know you asked about the GH7, but the GH7 is really a minor update from the GH6... the big difference is a better autofocus...

I was looking at cameras on Amazon today, and noticed that the cost for a GH6 is about $150 more than the cost of a GH7: I looked on B&H Photo, and it shows the GH6 as "discontinued" and the GH7 as $2,200... so it is $200 less for a GH7 on Amazon at the moment. Just some odd news about GH...

Yes, as far as I can tell, that is correct. As I said, I zoom in slightly (easy to do in Premiere and Resolve) and it becomes a standard 4K image: 3840 x 2160.

Your question is too open-ended to answer. First, you have to define "best", and many components in that answer will be personal to you. What contrast do you prefer? What color settings do you prefer? What is your editing workflow, and are you willing to do color correction and grading in post...

For some reason, most of the high-quality record settings in the GH6 (and the G9m2 and probably the GH7) set the aspect ratio to 17:9, instead of the usual 16:9 for standard 4K. At 4K resolution, a 16:9 aspect ratio has a resolution of 3840 x 2160. However, once you go to an aspect ratio of 17:9...

In case you missed it, Panasonic released new firmware for the GH6 and three lenses. Since I have a GH6 and one of the lenses (8-18mm), that is good news. You can find the firmware and update instructions here: https://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/dsc/download/index.html

Looks like I misunderstood Panasonic's presentation regarding CFexpress recording on the GH7. I thought the GH7 had two CFexpress slots and no SD slot. However, an article on B&H Photo's site says there is an SD slot and shows a photo of a memory card layout for the GH7 that is the same as the...

I watched the announcement and have to admit that I'm not lining up to buy the new GH7. The new features include internal RAW video recording, phase detect auto focus, a new audio adapter (XLR-2) that supports 32-bit floating recording, two CFexpress slots, and a license to add an ARRI log video...

I am highly interested, but can't make a case for it at the moment. I have a GH6 in perfect condition (despite a bird crapping on it during one outing) and my wife has a nearly new G9M2. And I have a well-worn but still working GH5 as a backup. But if today's announcement is a GH7, and if it has...

All signs are pointing to today's announcement being the GH7, but that is still just a rumor at the moment. If it is the GH7, everyone expects it to have the phase detect autofocus that the G9m2 has, but I expect much more video-centric announcements than that. The announcement will be on the...

There is an official word from Panasonic that there will be a new camera announced on June 5 (tomorrow). Multiple sites claim/conjecture that the new camera will be the GH7. Here's one such site: https://www.43rumors.com/confirmed-panasonic-will-announce-the-new-lumix-gh7-on-june-5/

The problem is the "MicroFourThirds" name itself. If you are buying a new camera and want to tell yourself that you are getting the best, why would you want to buy a "Micro" anything? Especially when the alternative (at more or less the same price and physical size for kit cameras) is "full...

The rumor mill says that Panasonic will announce a new camera on June 5. This same source says that the camera will *not* be a full-frame camera. Here is a link to a YouTube video discussing this:

I shot a simple project today to demonstrate something for a manufacturer. I figured that recording it at 1080p MP4 was fine to show what I needed to show, so I set my GH6 to MP4/1080p. That's when I saw that the data rate of MP4/1080p is 20Mbps at 29.97 fps, but 24Mbps at 23.98 fps. Obviously...

I don't have a GH5S, but every other Panasonic camera I have (GH5, GH6, GX8) all can control playback from the physical dial on the back of the camera. The top of the dial is "play," the bottom of the dial is "stop/pause," and left/right are their respective rew/FF. I would be surprised if the...

What happens when you press the "DISP" button on the back? It's on the upper-right, just below the thumbwheel.

I didn't see anything about it until now, but Panasonic released updated firmware for some popular MFT lenses. These lenses include versions of Panasonic's 12-60mm, 12-35mm and 35-100mm lenses. Here are the lens models affected: H-ES12035 H-HSA12035 H-ES12060 H-ES35100 H-HSA35100 H-ES50200...

It was like a dim twilight... not quite night, but you would need headlights to drive. Strangely, there was a orange-ish sky at the horizon to the west, as if the sun had set in that direction. However, it was around 3:15pm where I was, and the sun was still well in the sky.

I shot the eclipse at Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania. The sky got clear just as the eclipse started, and more clouds rolled in shortly after totality ended. Thus, I was able to get some good video. The highlight was the last 45 seconds or so of totality, which I shot in 4K using a...

I'm not familiar with that. How do I create a streak in the GH6 so that I can test the G9M2?
