Miemo Penttinen‎:https://vimeo.com/172306523 As mostly a stills guy, I shoot video way too rarely. This is the latest exception: playing around with Olympus E-M5mkII on a sunny midsummer day in the beautiful Suomenlinna island in Helsinki, Finland.60p conformed to 24p. Graded & edited in Premiere Pro CC.

Jan:here is a travel video about a trip to India, which I filmed with Micro Four Thirds gear. https://youtu.be/FDMy97dtaAY
When I went to India last year I was afraid to take all my expensive gear with me. This is why I got a used GH1 and a used GX1 (insanely cheap these days) together with some cheap used Panasonic lenses (14-42mm II, 45-150mm, 20mm and a c-mount fisheye). I was surprised that this cheap but versatile set delivered decent 1080p footage and some amazing images.

Nicholas:I thought I’d share my real world test of the Panasonic GX85 of a wedding I filmed on Sunday 100% completely handheld. I haven’t really seen a real world test yet of this camera so I thought I’d share it in case you would like to share it with your readers. Most reviews are theoretical or casual shoots, no story to them, so I thought this would be a refreshing view on this fabulous camera! It felt really good to be able to leave the monopod, tripod, slider and steadicams at home for a change. Felt super liberated! More details are in the Vimeo description if you’re curious.
