    After much oscillation between these two, I finally got GH6 yesterday. I don't care much about autofocus (mostly use manual lenses) but IBIS... come on that's a monster on GH6. I fell in love with it in less than a minute. GH6 has so many advantages that if better autofocus is not a dealbreaker the choice should be obvious. An yes, the lack of viewfinder (among many other "lacks") is a big no no.

    You are the first on youtube to seriously comparing these 2 cameras. I am a Sony A7RIV user looking for a Cine cam, to use the Vazen 28mm , so i am so torn between GH6 and FX30.

    • @CharlieVN
      @CharlieVN  Рік тому +1

      The Vazen 28 is a lens I've been eyeing for some time :). The thing with sony is that the lack of taller aspect ratios, really hurts for anamorphic. Open gate m43 shares nearly the same height as APS-C 16:9, however, there's more pixels in the right places, because 16:9 with a 1.8 squeeze...... that's 3.2:1 aspect ratio, too extreme. 2.3:1 is already extreme and that's what you get from an open gate m43 sensor. Trouble is that framing in camera is going to be a problem. Anyhow, thanks for watching!

    • @johnso2399

      @@CharlieVN It is the final picture thats count, if FX3/FX30 crop mode is still bigger than m43 open gate, and most of all, yields better final picture (with crop out vignetting in post), So open gate does not bother me much. However, 1. Vazen 28mm is not available in E mount, and my all M43 to E mount adaptors has not been reliable. 2. GH6 has better IBIS 3. has direct SSD storage option. ....... Sigh... well, GH6 is cheaper than many lens, may be i should just get one for the single purpose of using Vazen 28mm , is worth it. This show how important third party lens is , in the support of a mount, Canon RF is suicidal .

      Sony FF has spoiled us all because you barely need to light. With the BM6k and GH6 you just can’t do that. That makes the FX30 very interesting because if you treat it like an Fx3/A7siii it will hold it’s ground.. but if you treat it like if in was any other cinema camera it totally blows out the the water the GH6 and BM6K in my opinion. It’s a bold statement but totally true. Exposure index really helps pre previewing the exact look you want. The new Sony colors are crazy wide. You can mount it but you don’t have to. There are tons to of wide angle cheap fast wide angle lenses, and you can pair it with anything from a zv10 to a Venice II. Same lenses, same profiles, similar output. How crazy is that?

  • @nilodallaverita6310
    @nilodallaverita6310 Рік тому +5

    I have a very personal opinion. I've never seen the sensor size decisive in choosing APSC over Micro4/3, very similar. But M4/3 gives real advantages on even very small lenses, even with adapters (canon and cinema lenses) and advantages on telephoto lenses. For me the choice will always be either micro 4/3 or Full Frame. Rather than a FX30 I'd take a Sony A7IV or a Panasonic S5. Gh6 has its place in the world.

      @@fabimesizae Video noise between Apsc and M4/3 is negligible, with both you work well at 6400 iso and you can push yourself to 12800 with a denoise in post production, if you have to work in low light Full Frame wins hands down on both. The autofocus on GH6 is much improved compared to GH5 and is usable, in any case in professional use the focus can sometimes be wrong even Sony and it is necessary to use manual focus. In the video, the stabilization of the GH6 is much more important as the gimbal is not always comfortable (I am very sensitive to this, I hate shaky images).

    Sony for 3rd party and oftimes more lightweight options, autofocus because of phase detection plus who knows maybe with firmware update may bring the new A7RV's facial recognition AI, plus it has focus breathing control with their some of their lenses and finally what I've been saying is no more same old boring film looks, like Panasonic and the rest of them because you canmix and match old vintage lenses with their luts, your own, or some UA-cam influencer lol.

    It’s exactly the decision i do have to make. So with your video, it will be reduced to two points?
    1) autofocus = FX30
    2) open gate = GH6
    Anything else both will fit into my workflow.
    Because as a GH user since GH2, and learns at TV decades ago, i always focused manually. Only to follow people on a gimbal i wish good autofocus.
    Since GH4 I shoot in UHD and render at 1080. O I do have the freedom to make creative decisions in the post. I love this and will change my rendering to 4k.
    And even the FX 30 looks so impressive I tend to GH6 for now.
    Thank you!🙏

      the AF of the GH6 is a massive improvement over the GH4 days, it's about as good as the Sony A7rii, it has more wizardry than the A7's in general, but does struggle occasionally when it shouldnt. Manual focus is still a thing that I use a lot despite having more sony cameras.

    • @nilodallaverita6310
      @nilodallaverita6310 Рік тому +1

      Autofocus also depends a lot on the lens used and I can say that the Leica 12-60mm F2.8-4 mounted on the G9 already has an excellent autofocus that I don't have on other lenses. G9 and 12-60mm Leica on gimbal I find myself very well. With GH6 everything should be better.

The panny xlr and audio in general with the separate levels for 3.5 vs scratch, just excellent stuff.

And there are the areas it is better. The most important of which is the image. The Sony images are stellar, but almost to a fault. So crisp that they tend to have a video quality. Whereas the GH6 tends to be less sharp, but more (forgive me!)..."cinematic". I think it's safe to say that the new GH6 color science is starting to look very much like Canon's.
