We have 3 GH3's with Olympus M.Zuiko 12-50 lenses. It seems like no matter where we shoot, low light or bright, the results are grainy. We've tried different settings and have taken the iso down with no results. Have a really important shoot coming up any help would be awesome.
 
First, post ALL the camera settings you use when shooting.

Second, post some download links to some native GH3 video files that demonstrate what your problem is. If you post some samples it will be a lot easier to diagnose what is causing your problems.

Most likely it's a combination of not using the correct settings and not handling the footage correctly in post.
 
If you're getting the same "grainy" results with all 3 cameras on good light and low light, lower ISO values etc., it's not the cameras or likely the camera settings. I'd suspect your monitor settings are off, oversharpening, contrast too high, and possibly brightness set too high.

With the controls on the monitor (and nowhere else!) set all 3 of those parameters to mid scale then look at that same footage. Tweak from there.
