First Speedbooster XL review on the GH4.

The new XL Speed Booster on the GH4 (Image courtesy: Newsshooter).

Newsshooter (Click here) posted the first review of the brand new SpeedBooster XL adapter:

By precisely matching the S35 frame size and expanding low light shooting capabilities, the new Metabones makes the Panasonic GH4 (and new G7) a very interesting proposition if you are looking for a less expensive 4K S35 camera – especially for those who have an investment in Canon glass.

What the GH4 now offers is a S35 camera that can record 4K internally in 8-bit, plus 10-but recording externally to a recorder like the Atomos Shogun – a trick that even the new Sony a7R II can’t pull off. What the GH4/Speedbooster combination really lacks now is the highly anticipated V-log profile, something I hope will come very soon from Panasonic.

The Speedbooster XL is not of course a Panacea. Don’t expect the images coming out of the GH4 combo to beat a RED Dragon or an ARRI Alexa. It won’t. For now though I would be happy to recommend it to GH4 users who want the S35 frame size without the expense.

Olympus E-M5 II Review at IR: “is one heck of a package!”

Share

E-M5II

Imaging Resource posted their full E-M5II review and writes:

Perhaps where the Olympus E-M5 II impressed us most was when we had to crank up the sensitivity to shoot in low light, though. Its high ISO performance belies its Micro Four Thirds sensor size, and actually manages to rival some APS-C sensor-based cameras! All things considered, this is one heck of a package, and at a very competitive price as well. It is, perhaps, one of the best arguments yet we’ve seen for the rise of the mirrorless camera!
