    Hi everyone, thanks for watching. This is just a quick A/B comparison between my Sony FX30 and the LUMIX GH7. I have the GH7 on loan until the end of June, so if you want to see anything else - please let me know. Both cameras are great, and the FX30 is a great value option now in 2024. The GH7 is definitely a beast when it comes to its video features! Thanks for the kind words and support. Subscribe for more videos and check the details and related videos in the description box.

    My experience with Sony, as I currently own the FX30, is that it tends to sneak in a little yellow into the skin tones. That's why I've always preferred LUMIX skin tones over most brands except Canon. To me, the GH7 with all of its features is more of a cinema camera than the FX30. But, I still love the FX30. If I can have both I would. I am battling with the idea of switching completely over to the GH7. Thanks for the excellent comparisons.

      I went full frame (A7iii & 7iv) coming from 10 years in MFT system (Gh2, G7, G85). Think Lenses. Panasonic doesn't offer all you can get on the E-Mount system. They could have built a great combo of f1.2 lenses, but Panasonic hasn't so you have to rely on their previous stuff with much more DOF than APSC or FF. Dynamic range & autofocus will never beat your Fx30 either.

      I shoot my FX-6, my FX-3 and FX-30 all in cinemas EI (log profile) and then color grade it. I don’t get yellowish skin tones, but if I did I could always add more magenta to my color grade. Rarely do I use colors straight out of camera. You can get any color you want from any camera if shot in log with 10 bit color. I even have canon LUTS if I want that look.

    I noted a few of your findings, GH7 makes the FX30, and Z6iii seem old.
    My notes on Gh7
    1. Faster Auto focus (who would’ve thought?)
    2. Arrie Alexa Luts are only on Panasonic !
    3. Deeper blacks, + exposure curves (mot to mention Features (SSD,
    4. Much, Much Smoothest Anti shake.
    5. Dynamic range appears wider on GH7 despite Sony's being labelled a "cinema camera".
    6. Image of fence at night in your video (side by side) appears better lit on the GH7 despite it having the smaller sensor.
    7. Open gate to shoot horizontal, later change it to any screen format is only available on Panasonic
    8. Panasonic always led the industry with No heating issues, GH7 has the biggest cooing fan.
    9. Sony wins on AF at on 120p but I hardly use 120.
    10. The Codecs, both quality and quantity is world’s best.

    Can you see a difference between Proresraw and Prores/H265 about details rendering ?
    I have both the G9II and GH6, when I crop I much prefer the fine details of the GH5, especially in 4K and C4K. The GH6 and G9II show rougher edge sharpening but with less details, and skin textures look mushy in low light, the GH5 has more noise but keep details like a raw still picture.
    I have the same issue on my S5II when I compare this camera to both my S1 and S5. However external BRAW has not these weird sharpening and detail filtering on the S5II, so I suppose Proresraw on the GH7 must be free from these extra processing too ?

      If you buy speed booster just get an S5IIX and native lenses and save yourself the hassle with all of the tradeoffs that come with that process. I know a few people that do that looking for a full frame look - full frame does that better and easier now (and also sometimes cheaper)

    Sony starts loosing ground now and they rush to do software updates so they can keep their fanboys.

    One of the reasons i think the mft system is superior is that the physics gives you better reach for super-telephoto whilst at the same time letting lenses be lighter and cheaper. The drawbacks can be solved by improving technology; sensors can become more sensitive, and manufacturing techniques can make lenses faster so we can still have our bokeh and pay for it too. MFT for the win. I was considering getting the S5iiX but I think its smarter to get the GH7.

    I currently live and work in South Africa, and the professional cine's here are ALL obsessed with Sony and Canon full frame cameras.
    You cant even mention the words Panasonic Lumix to them, they all have a mental block when it comes to Lumix.
    Its truly weird.
    No other camera manufacturer offers the same level of value that Panasonic Lumix does. No one!
    And yet, even when i shoot with my Lumix cameras here in SA, I'm just dismissed as it isnt a Canon or a Sony.
    Again, its really weird being surrounded by people who refuse to open their minds just a little bit.
    Sony and Canon have most definitely captured the market here, with a little bit of Fuji and even Blackmagic thrown in.

      If you use the regular recording menu on the GH7, you get phase detection AF. Variable frame rate mode slows the footage down in camera and in this mode you don't get Phase Detection AF. S&Q mode n the FX30 does the same thing and slows it down in camera with Phase Detection AF.

    Gh7 great camera, but if I think that the S5IIX is practically a full frame GH7 that can work well even at 12500 ISO I think I made the right choice with the S5II (not "X" for me 10bit video is enough). Shooting 6K video is fantastic.

    • @aiseurnae5976
      @aiseurnae5976 11 днів тому

      Yes but with worse rolling shutter, slightly worse IBIS, with 4k 60 cropped, no 120 fps, no 60fps 6k, and worse sharpening.
      But the S5II(X) has indeed much better ISO performance, better DR and of course you can get shallow DOF very easily. Also the details rendering in 4K is so bad on the these cameras that I never use 4k 120fps on the G9II, I don't see the point. I always use 6K or 5,7K.
      I have both the S5II and G9II, both are good, but I think Panasonic can do much better, the first S5 had better video engine.
