And Diyphotography heard from a Panasonic source present at the Birmingham Photography show that the GH5 shipment will start today. But I am not sure that’s true yet (or maybe it’s true for a few countries only).

Still no confirmation on the new Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera rumor….

Share


image above shows the current Blackmagic Pocket MFT cinema Camera.

As you may remember a month ago I got that rumor about a new Blackmagic Pocket MFT Camera saying this:

M43 mount. 4K, same or almost the same size, better battery life, H265 possible. Might see it at NAB although will not ship then (lol – Blackmagic shipping on time).

The rumor is from a new source and so far I wasn’t able to confirm it via other sources. The NAB show is opening on April 22, let’s hope on that day the rumor will turn out to be correct!

Thoughts on comparing 8-bit and 10-bit footage from the Panasonic GH5

Share

This video from Wolfcrow is specifically made to address a confusion many people seem to be having as to why there aren’t any significant differences between the 8-bit and 10-bit footage in the Panasonic GH5, as of March 2017. For calculations and links to articles click here: http://wolfcrow.com/blog/thoughts-on-…

But keep in mind that MATH is not everything. As reported by Slashcam and Osamu there seems to be already a 10Bit advantage with the current 150Mb/s compression. And this is and interesting test image by Randy Wheeler:

The external output on the GH4 doesn’t get compromised as shown in this pic so I would assume that the GH5 output won’t get compromised either:

GH5 at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama and Panasonic US. In EU at Amazon.de, Cyberport.de and ParkCamera.
