GH2 GH-2 Takes On the RED Scarlet, and Lives... :-)

I saw this over on Personal-View and it caused quit a bit of ruckus. I hope we can keep things a bit more civil here.

I'm happy to own a GH2 and have access to a Scarlet-X. It's a great time to be a shooter.
 
nice yes, but the scarlet is the clear winner for me. the bright colors hold up much better on the scarlet than the GH2. Scarlet also has better DR. Holds on to more details in the highs. But we are not comparing the same beasts.

Are the differences subtle? Yes. But where the scarlet will win is in color work, general grading, sfx and detail. And as we've seen in cameras over the last litle while, sometimes very very very small improvements make a camera go from 3000 to 15000.

The video maker also stated that there was grading done, so we don't know what's been done. Difficult to judge without original files.

Interesting. The gap between low end and high end seems to be perpetually shrinking.
 
What's a scarlet?

Hating on other cameras is such waste of energy

When you diss a camera, you are actually dissing on all those who choose to shoot with that camera

why not be big enough to see that there is room in this world for all types of cameras and all types of shooters?

Right down to the little guy who's still shooting mini DV.

As an official Scarlet-X Ambassador, I approve of this message.
 
...Obviously shooting in 4K RAW is a completely different ballgame, one where post production is a huge factor in achieving your final image.

But I'm just so impressed that the lowly hacked GH-2 comes as close as it does to a camera that is 15 times more expensive.

Nah, only if the users personalize everything. Nothing wrong with "preference" and the expression of it.
