Nice!! I recently sold my s1h & eva1. I loved the image but I reckon it was time to let them go. I picked up a gh7 just for everyday client work but actually love it. I put a speedbooster on it and I’m close to FF. It’s shortcoming is the dynamic range behind my s1h but its pros for me are, AF, uncropped frame rates, internal raw, cfast card, better internal audio (even though I sync externally) it has the tc and the same great versatile screen. Evf on the s1h is the best if that matters. The gh7 has better ibis and can be small using Olympus or panny primes or be rigged out with cine lenses. My s1h & sigma 24-70 were huge on their own. I’m happy with selling my eva1 & s1h. I actually picked up a Komodo so I’ll be testing to see how well the gh7 hangs with it.
l have the Sony FX6 as my main camera and use the GH7 as my gimbal camera or for travel or shoots that require a smaller footprint or need the incredible Ibis. What lens do you pair w the speed booster? Just picked up the 9mm 1.7 leica …awesome little lens.
The only thing missing for me in the S5iix are the screen of the GH7, and the time code input. Oh, XLR2 compatibility would be nice… and the OLPF wouldn’t hurt.
In smaller sensors it’s less likely to run into moire issues. Yes the olpf helps but comparing my gh7 & s1h footage they looks the same. One doesn’t look sharper over the other and moire isn’t issue in my shooting scenarios
I am a proud owner of the S5II and or me it ticks all the boxes I need. Some nice to have would be 4k 50 with no crop and the Arri Log C3 option but I am expecting for those in the S1H II (hopefully by the end of the year). I would really love to have a GH7 as a B cam for my S5II
this is a good review. i think 3200 is acceptable in low light conditions with a fast lens. obviously if you do a lot of low light (like concert photography/videography or events at night) the full frame cameras will be preferrable.
@@pauleporterdp i want to revise my comment here after thinking about it more. i think it is a very silly decision for panasonic not to use a dual gain iso sensor in this camera when it should have been the standard after the GH5S. i think maybe there was an issue with doing that AND DRBoost. but still, it should be a standard on all cameras now from €2000 and up.
Servus! Nice revue, P4K vs GH7 in low light ? Do you think that GH7 prores raw can hold it against P4K ? I always found P4K GH5s kind of ok in low light for MFT sure no S5 level but manageable with Neat NR...do you have an opinion about it ...btw unfortunately I am working the same days as your Bayreuter Creator meeting in January (from Biel CH nicht so weit) but I hope you will do it a second time Unfortunately I have concerts as playing musician in the same time and I can not choose when I am free as much as normal job people, kind of the same issues as a filmmaker !!!

Schade, dass du es nicht zum Summit schaffst. ;) Also das Low light der Bmpcc4k und gh7 ist nahezu identisch und ja mit NR kann man das noch cleaner machen. Persönlich denke ich das BRAW besser ist aber ProRes RAW ist ja auch nicht schlecht
Best color of any Lumix...best 4.3 sensor....yes no pdaf but AF works fine if you know it. And I'm mf anyway. A lot of cameras I don't care for personally..maybe yours. The gh6 is a beast ...you should have learned how to tame it.

Thanks for your feedback :)
will you buy the incoming S1h ii?
If that one is a best for sure :)

GH7 does not have a better IBIS. You compare a m43 with a Full Frame. Different sizes, different FOV....
Wow! What a great video. So well done!
Thank you so much :)
Thank you for these great insights. I also love my S1H.
Thank you 🙏🏻

Yea I totally agree :)

Thanks for watching. :)
Really waiting on this cam also. It’s been rumored for 2 years lol.
Good review. What is the performance of the GH7 with lenses connected via speed boosters ?
Thank you. It’s good I basically always use it with the Speedbooster.

You could always use a speedbooster with the gh7. It will boost low-light performance and make it act more like a larger sensor camera.
The Panasonic S1H and the Panasonic S5 Mark 2 X are on my shopping list
Great cameras 🎥
@@pauleporterdp Yes they are.
Servus!

@@pauleporterdp transcoding Proresraw zu CDNG für Resolve ist na ja suboptimal 😂😂😂
ISO 4000 is the second gain of the S5ii, why not use it? I only use the native ISO’s at ISO 640 and 4000.
Sure but sometimes you need to go higher :)
Gh6 !!!
Personally I didn’t like that camera

Well everybody has a different taste
