TheCameraStoreTV just posted their Panasonic G9 field test video:

On top you can see the review of the new 45mm PRO lens. And here are some more tests:

This is Kai’s in depth look on the new GH5s:

Dpreview shared their first impressions on the new GH5s by comparing it with the Sony A7sII:

There’s the GH5S’s greater range of video tools, including vector scopes and waveforms, and its ability to capture great bit-depth video with better color resolution (10-bit 4:2:2 capture, rather than 8-bit 4:2:0 capture), and the GH5S suddenly looks like something of a bargain. Oh, and the small matter of being able to shoot DCI video and both flavors of 4K at up to 60p, neither of which the Sony can do.

So, while the GH5S doesn’t overthrow the laws of physics by outperforming the a7S II, it comes a lot closer to matching it than sensor size differences alone would lead you to think possible. In many circumstances it comes close and in any situation where you need to maintain a certain depth-of-field, it can outperform the Sony.

Photons to Photos tested the Dynamic Range of the Olympus High Resolution mode. It beats most of the currently available FF. Of course this mode only works in limited condition but it’s good to know you can really get an impressive performance on these cameras:

Pentax 645Z: 11.77
EM1mkII: 11.72
Sony A7R: 11.71
Nikon D850: 11.63

Thanks Speeding!

The new 16mm Sigma lens is now shipping in EU and USA at Wex UK, Amazon Germany, BHphoto, Amazon and Adorama.

Lenstip tested the new Sigma lens and writes:

“The Sigma C 16 mm f/1.4 DC DN is not a flawless device; especially in the area close to f/1.4 you can find several distinct shortcomings. Still you have to remember that those shortcomings disappear on slight stopping down of the aperture and image quality improves very quickly too. As a result this lens’s resolution levels are close to record values on both types of sensors and we mean here records achieved by lenses several times more expensive than the tested one.”

ePhotozine posted their full take on the new Panasonic GH5s:

For anyone wanting a GH5 that can record higher quality video, including CINE 4K at 60fps, as well as record in low-light conditions, then the GH5S is the ideal solution, and compared to other cameras, particularly good value for money. The GH5S delivers impressively clean video up to and including ISO25600, which is impressive, considering the highest ISO speed available was ISO12800 on the GH5.
