Does the hybrid zoom work in 4k open gate aspect ratio? Or only in the 16:9 aspect ratio? In other words If I film in 4k open gate can I still use the hybrid zoom? Very informative video thank you!

I only take my iphone with me. All the cameras are too heavy

Hedging my bets, Takumar 50 f1.4 AND 24-105 f4 lumix on the road again 😁🤷🏼‍♂️

I asked B&H Will the gh7 record 4channel 32bit float w this xlr2? The reply is Technically, yes, it's 4 channels (two XLR, plus the stereo input). Unfortunately though, it can only record up to 24-bit, not 32-bit. Regarding a manual, from what I can find, one is not published yet as this is a new item that has yet to be released. Please let me know if you require any further assistance. Thank you for choosing B&H. So i asked to clarirfy and received Thank you for contacting the Sales Department at B&H Photo Video and Pro Audio. Since this XLR adapter can only handle up to 24-bit, even though the GH7 is capable of 32-bit float, all that would pass through to the camera is 24-bit. Please let me know if you require any further assistance. Thank you for choosing B&H. So i sent a message asking how to get 32 bit float and waiting for a reply. Am i missing something or misunderstanding . Do you need something else besides Gh7 w DMW-XLR2 and a mic and memory card correct? So confused

A sample of a live training video where you didn’t know how to operate the system.

❤Thank you Joseph🎉🎉

That shot with the column and the hot air balloon looked like a vintage postcard. Lovely pics.

How well does it perform for macro video. Could you go from 3m/10f to 10cm/4inches while filming video without loosing focus? 😁

Joseph, can you help. We just upgraded from atem mini pro iso to the extreme, right in the middle of our first recording I see the recording indicator flashing, and now we have to keep stopping. We have one of the recommended drives, it's set up correctly, can you tell us why this is happening?

Dope video man, thanks for sharing ! Love the images when you enabled the X-Pan crop.. sick !

Is 1/4 strength enough or would u use 1/2 or 1/8 or even 1x?

Nah just go 28-200 so you can get all ranges

Would u have done anything different? I’m about to travel and I’m very excited but overwhelmed with what to bring

I love this lens😮

💯❤❤❤❤❤💯

Well done, sir!

This video was recorded months ago and I finally edited and published it - so, no, it’s no longer winter in Bratislava and Budapest 😅 But it was when I shot this!! Waddaya think? Vintage lenses FTW??

Outstanding video, been looking exactly for this for a while. Keep it up!

I haven't been excited about a camera for a long time. This actually looks (and SOUNDS) interesting!

looking foward to getting one for my GH6

These are fine, but I use my original Atem to record all cameras and do replays without any outside software or hardware + run video effects created indevice for a kind of dawless CGI run and gun Marvel movie creating device and also do de-aging effect indevice without an uncanny valley look. I'm Grant from Blackmagic so its pretty cool

Creative thinking, love it. This is editing two or more angles on the fly and not losing your mind in editing after :D

Saweet! Thank You

what, wait, 18 to 40mm? That sounds awesome

This is great. Need to try that with powerbank

For my purposes I like using a USB battery to power my Panasonic S5 and my external monitor. They both have their own internal batteries, just in case a cable gets unplugged, neither of them will completely shut off. The USB C cable for my monitor has a USB-PD to barrel plug adapter that requests the battery to supply 12V to the monitor.

Excellent, just waiting for it to get in stock.

That is a fabulous rack..... Super envious and can't wait for the big reveal!!

Is that the same battery used in the bmpcc 4k?

Great idea!🎉Thank You

With DC 18 I can power my osee t5+ external monitor from camera battery?

With infinite power comes great ...photo ability!! (Apologies to Spider-Man)

Does it work with the original LUMIX S5?

Sean with the Lumix USA channel kept saying this wasn't possible. I knew it was. Just needed the right electronics inside. Glad they finally made this.

Thanks for clarifying! The descriptions I was looking at made it sound like the DC coupler only worked on the GH7, really glad to hear it works on all the other same-battery cameras (GH6, etc) as well!

Short and straight to the point. Doesn't need anything else.

Cool ❤

Was caught off by how to the point this video was

Omg that macbook charger must be so old, it's huge

Do they make one for d-tap or barrel connections, or just usb-c?

Yes, I use that convenient dummy battery since GH3 (I don't remember if for GH1 and 2 it was there). And then for the S1

Thanks Joseph, nice to see the difference in features, size etc but would have been great to see an actual usage review. Which is more stable, which has more flex, which fares best in winds, which fares better on uneven ground. At the end of the day those are the things which really matter. I have a K&F carbon fibre travel tripod which folds smaller than either of those and is just a few grams heavier than the Freewell and extends to 158cm. I'm looking to upgrade but although its important to know the features and differences, it really helps to see the performance

Useful roundup of features, and what needs the camera fulfills. But that lens! It is useless for video because it does not even have a front filter thread. So, no ND possible. Yes, I believe in 180 rule, and shooting V Log at 640 ISO in bright sunlight requires an ND. f8 is too open! In the US, a preorder of the S9 gets you the pancake lens for free. At that price, the lens is still not worthwhile for me! I will pass on the lens even for free. I will use the S9 as a miniature S5 ii for video, which is its best use. Obviously, more compact FF lenses are needed. And, if we are wishing, power zooms. Panasonic is all in for video in its cameras, but not in its lens offerings.

Excellent video

Thank you for this. One issue with this might be that if you manage your Lightroom catalog by importing to various different directories on your drive (as opposed to "folders" within LRc,) , you'd have to change the auto import settings with each shoot. Say you do product shots, portraits, and landscapes, and want to manage them in different directories, you'd need to set up the import target at each shoot. Something I'd be likely to forget to do. And then I'd have a mess. Am I incorrect?

Hey, what is the purpose of this little white round patch of fabric inside of the suction cup? Anybody? I found a discounted mount online but it's missing that piece. Is it for protection only or is this crucial?

Might be time to upgrade from the gh5. I did find a feature in the S5 I now can’t live without, the zero stop zebra. Any chance that made its way to the gh line?

Don’t buy cheap filters. They may not screw on and off easily. RS. Canada

Great video. Thank you

Thank you for the always great reviews PJ! Question: if I don’t want to use the phone app as remote and want to trigger record video from 100 feet away from the camera what are my options on the GH7? Thank you for the info in advance .
