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.

Great Video! Could you try the arri log c3 grading? As in how it grades with logc3 vs a color match profile to an alexa via vlog? Wish the gh7 came with the Arri logc3 automatically for pre orders. Or what the differences are in logc3 between the gh7 and gh6.

GH7 colors looks great. Better stabilization plus EVF, GH7 is a more versatile camera for me.

Panasonic with really quick AF sounds like a joke earlier, vut now I'm seeing tha it's real. And you can customise speed of AF in Panasonic settings. This year Panasonic make a great jump in AF field.

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.

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.

Great review as always. We’re at a point where no matter the system you choose you can get amazing results from any modern camera. It’s a great time to be photo/video shooter 🎉

Do you know if the AF transition speed is the same on both? IE they were both on standard? cinematically I think the slightly slower AF is nicer, but that's only if you are trying to rack focus as part of the shot. But I'm so happy Panny Boy has finally added DPAF!!!

Wow the GH7 is a clear winner. I didn't expect that !!

For the first 90 seconds of the video, I thought the Sony was on the right due to the autofocus......but the colours were screaming Panasonic at me!!! While it was late to the party, Panasonic have leapfrogged with their PDAF and the colours are still oh so good. My GH5's will have to do for the immediate future still but...............

GH7 looks great! I wonder if the Sony AF settings were just in stock (balanced) because that’s a major factor in how quickly they focus. Even on my ZV-E1 if I set transition speed and subject shift sensitivity to Fast, it locks on immediately even with old lenses.

I never owned sony cameras but their images always looked to clinical and clean.

Cannot wait to see what they do with the S1H Mark 2.

Both are great cameras - just depends on personal preference. I own the FX30 and I'm nowhere close to unlocking its full potential. If I was starting from scratch, the GH7 would be tough to beat, but I'm not sure I'd invest in M43 instead of E-mount lenses. Great comparison as usual!

They're both superb cameras. I love the GH7 screen and would almost buy the camera just to have that! The simplicity of the FX30 makes working with it, at least in my professional environment (almost exclusively locked off on a tripod), perfect.

2:12 Sums it up pretty well

good comparison

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. But try to mention Panasonic Lumix and all you get is blank expressions followed by outright dismissal. Completely bizarre!

i have to get the gh7.the imagestabilization is the best feature in my opinion. I also own the gh5 and still use it for event videos. it is the best because you do not need a gimbal for most of the time. sometimes a gimbal can be too distracting for events and people will look into the camera all the time. while shooting handheld, they do not notice you that much

Would be curious to know how you were setting white balance... Whether it was auto or manual. The gh series has always been absolutely awesome in natural light, but I don't think as strong in man made lighting, which is annoying.

Easy !! Sony cameras have weird skin tones :D Wow GH7 autofocus is faster than Sony !!

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 ?

Like the gh6 it would surely be off by 600$ in 3 months as its not selling 😅

I instantly liked the right image the most... It´s so pleasant...without bla bla bla!

One thing I found in the GH7 and G9II manual was that they can't do full sensor 4:3 open gate at 4.4K 60/50p, it's pixel/pixel. Considering that they're doing a big open gate push with the S9 and Lumix Lab app it's a shame there's a crop. The GH5II *can* do its 4K open gate 60/50p with the full sensor though.

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.
