The Sigma 28-70mm is a FANTASTIC lens! I just got a LUMIX S5 original and the 28-70 a couple months ago and it’s been beauty! Such a light weight FULL-FRAME setup and really good in low light with that f2.8. It’s like a full frame sigma 18-35. Just SO MUCH LIGHTER! Not to mention how affordable it is compared to other lenses in the L-mount. Apparently the sigma 28-70 has the same optical performance as the sigma 24-70 just in a lighter plastic build quality. Still really good quality though. Also, I heard the LUMIX S5 II has a digital look to the footage compared to the LUMIX S5 OG. I believe this digital image affects the standard profiles not V-LOG. Maybe something to check into.

To me gh7 is not overpriced. I just bought one and i am happy

... just got mine recently, as well. New to the ecosystem, but I'm more than happy.

Hi guys, Great show. About Cinematch and matching with color cards,leeming lut etc... Shooting ETTR leeming lut pipeline was ok and fast before I purchased Cinematch. Doing multicam concerts production with P6K,P4K GH5,5s,S5org and S5iiX plus DJI action 4 RAW + Cinematch in a HDR recomended pipeline by cinematch (which use plugin intern CST colorspace transform + sensor match in Davinc Wide Gammut and Intermediate ) I usualy convert since one year everything to Arri Clog 3 in a HDR pipeline. U get the best results like that...and I am using at the end Arri LUTS pipeline when all the footage is in Clog 3 colorspace or Filmconvert. Cinematch is by far most precise tool even if with the IR pollution of my BM cameras I need to work more on them to match my Panasonic. CUBE file from Cinematch is a great tool I have a converstion LUT for all my cam I did myself so each cam to Arri Clog 3 and a rec 709 vonverstion lut is backed and I export the LUT from resolve to each of my cameras and it looks similar in camera. But I have as well no use in the real time lut feature of S5iiX because I love the flexibility Of Vlog proper and it has no place in my workflow So Cinemarch is a must plugin for resolve imho It is the most time efficient. Filmconvert is great as well for film emulation. About gear Saw a used GH6 for 800 CHF +- same in dollar here in switzerland no one want to buy them it stayed one month online...I almost bought it but I saw no purpose and no need for me personaly but grrat price I think nowdays that GH5 price are like 400-500 CHF max 800 for GH6 seems for me appropriate price for GH6 used. You have still a core user base of MFT but in the same time so much old gear on sale online it makes me think that the system has a programated dead line and we will not see past GH7...if the GH7 sales are not what they expect from them... GH7 could be an option for me if the price was 1600-1800 ich max My last bought mft was used P4K 3 years ago P4K IQ is the best in MFT mount imho...maybe GH7 is better in proresraw...probably Like your duo 😊

Thanks for all the details! Glad you’re enjoying the convos.

As a stills shooter, if I wasn't into wildlife photography, I don't think I'd be using micro 4/3. As you say, the price advantage isn't really there at the moment, and the size/weight advantage isn't as great as it once was, either. Oh, also, Re: hiding microphones - I don't recall the details but I recall seeing something recently where, among younger creators/viewers, having an obvious mic is now a 'thing'. I wish I could remember the reason they gave. More edits! The 10-25 is one of the sharpest lenses I've ever seen. I'd go so far as to say if you're only using it for video, you're not even close to it's full potential. The Leica 25/1.4 mk II is crazy sharp, and the 10-25 at 25 is slightly sharper to my eye.

... a full-frame camera with similar features as the GH7 will most likely cost North of $4k! SMH... the others still do not have all the features as the GH7, especially in relation to price-point.

$1,500??? The GH6's still around are listed for more. I'm sure they'll have similar deals in the next 6-12 months as they always do, but that sounds way low for this camera.

Full frame bodies like the Sony ZV-E1 $2200, Nikon Z6 III $2500, Lumix S5 II $1700 offer up most of the great features people want these days. Plus more full frame cameras like the R5 II and R6 III from Canon are soon on the way. For MFT to stay competitive it needs to lower prices and/or offer more features. Asking $2200 for a Lumix GH7 + $500 for 32bit float + $200 for Arri Log ($2900 total + tax) is a hard sell in today's market. Used GH6's can be found for $1200-$1300, maybe even cheaper if you find one local.

@@_tographer ... Sony ZV-E1 overheats like crazy! It's a camera that is not that great of a hybrid camera, IMHO. Nikon Z6III is bringing something to the table, but it does not have active cooling and I'm not so sure about audio support via hotshoe or time code syncing. According to some, the DR performance on this camera is not positive, especially that it's a full-frame camera. It's going to be interesting to see more real-world reviews. Just like Sony, Canon's codec selection is a joke! IMO, they're both protecting their "cine" cameras. An R5-series camera costs what? The reason I didn't pull the trigger on the Lumix S5II/S5IIX was the rolling shutter performance and up to 4k/60(with a crop)... it was close, though.

Sony is a 12 mp camera😂😂 gh7 is a hybrid camera. So you pay 2200 for a video only camera and you claim gh7 is overpriced..
