    This is my first video camera. Found it in a pawn shop for $1500. The store had it for close to three years. The original price was $2800. The manager told me nobody else was interested, and some thought it was simply too old. It took about two minutes for the manager to drop the price without my asking. I didn't know any better. It looked nice, with a nice bag of accessories. Everything was in very good condition, no dings, scratches, or dust, everything works. Preparing to use it to make my first film, based on my first published novel, and my first registered script. Now I'm writing another book. And I want more cameras! Could I become addicted to all this? Am I headed for trouble?

    hmmmm you seem to think that he GH6 has DUAL NATIVE ISO and it does not. That is a head scratch er for someone with so so much LUMIX experience. If I'm wrong I'd be very happy to be so. Please let me know. .

  • @Hotrodcameras
    @Hotrodcameras Жыл бұрын

    ISO = gain. It's really a matter of semantics. The GH6 doesn't advertise "dual native ISO" but that is the terminology we are all in the habit of using- and sure, we're guilty in this video of not spending an extra 2 minutes explaining the subtle differences in implementation. Panasonic specifically refers to what is the GH6 "dual native ISO" as "Dual Output Gain." At the end of the day this "DOG", is really only slightly different implementation of dual native, but again as ISO = gain, what's occurring is the same results. Most people don't seem to understand the term of DOG, so we had to make a choice for the video, spend the time explaining minor differences and use the correct terminology or call it the term that people understand and what should be close enough for 99.9% on KZread. Good on you for pointing it out. I wasn't sure anyone would.

    Long time FF Canon shooter here. Congrats and thank you on the thorough evaluation and insightful opinions. So many boxes on the GH6 get ticked that I'm Jones-ing on the features and specs. As much as I love the small form factor, IBIS and lens IS, super high frame rates, a huge codec and resolution selection, I would have to give up ultra wide FOV, super sexy bokeh that I take for granted now. It's impractical hauling two systems in the field as having too much stuff can also be a huge ball and chain on actually shooting good footage. May have to try it out though. None of the camera shops I have near me have one physically in stock to get a feel of it.

    A GH6s and a GH6s ii would be awesome additions to this camera for a b and c camera. Cmon Panasonic. We want an electronic Variable ND filter that will have little to no colour shifts. Make a version like the GH5s. We will all be buying all three versions for our current kit. Make sure all the colours match up natively please! Please please please! That has to be number one of the rules for multiple camera mixup shoots. Same colours. Please make them all gen lockable. Please please please!

    Excellent well rounded review. Spot on for lower cost of lenses and smaller form factor. I feel like the GH6 is good enough for the common viewer off the street (non-filmmaker) that when they watch content shot on the GH6, viewers are focused on the content without the quality of the footage getting in the way of the story being told. Thus mission accomplished. Thank you for the excellent review. 😊👍

  • @Hotrodcameras
    @Hotrodcameras Жыл бұрын

    A low number of pixels enables Sony to use larger photosites on the sensor, which means each photosite can collect more light. This is how they are able to offer such incredible low-light performance. Their A7S models have always been designed with this in mind, and their A7R series prioritize resolution of low-light performance.
