Panasonic GH6 Wild Rumors

By admin, on June 26th, 2019

According to latest rumors coming from trusted rumor mill. Panasonic GH6 camera may use 35mm / Fullframe sensor. Take a look at the rumored specification of the camera coming straight out from rumor mill.

– There seem to be discussion that next GH will have a Super 35 sensor (full size to be enabled by key),
– higher resolution (33 MP frames required for 8K)
– special pixel binning algorithm for low light applications
– Dual ISO (We have seen inside GH5s not new)

— end of rumor part —-

See, from this rumor it’s very clear that from M4/3 system the entire GH series will jump to FF system.

What will happen is we use M4/3 Lenses on a FF sensor.

Firstly, yes, you would get a crop, or it’s better to say you will only use “partial” FF sensor
M4/3 lenses vignette in FF mode (big issue)

So, if GH series camera will have a FF sensor inside then they have to Make these basic changes to existing M4/3 camera. That includes Introduction of Mode Selector – FF Mode – M4/3 Mode as well as introduction of L-Mount in GH series camera.

If this rumor is true than literally a GH series will become a Half-cooked S1 series camera.

I don’t think this rumor is true.

And finally some definitions (food for thought)

Pixel Binning vs. Skipping vs Oversampling

Binning is the combining of photosite sensor values as they’re read from the sensor and then sent to the demosaicing process.
Skipping is literally skipping over some sensor values.
Oversampling is reading more pixels than the final output format supports, and uses Downsampling, or scaling, to combine values, which is done after demosaicing.

The lens is light-weight and easy to carry, The optical IS is a great catch here, you get Mega OIS paired up DUAL IS. So excellent stability while shooting handheld telephoto shots. The lens is a perfect combination of price and specification.

Highly recommend for beginners and semi-pro shooters,

Canon DPAF vs Panasonic DFD

By admin, on June 8th, 2019

Panasonic GX9 vs Canon 200D II or its better to say Canon DPAF vs Panasonic DFD. AF test has been done in by dpreview staff in still and video mode both. Most interestingly Canon entry level camera with DFD AF system performing surprisingly well in video mode compared to Panasonic GX9 camera with DFD AF system.

Panasonic S1H vs Panasonic GH5

By admin, on June 2nd, 2019

With very limited video specification Panasonic completed the development announcement of the Panasonic S1H camera. The camera is still under development process and lot of specs remains unconfirmed. However, Panasonic does confirmed all of us that the upcoming camera will capture 6K video without crop and which is of-course a groundbreaking thing.

Panasonic S1H vs Panasonic GH5, take a look at quick specification comparison between the Panasonic S1H and the Panasonic GH5.

Panasonic S1H	Panasonic GH5
TBA (Most probably 24.2MP Full-Frame MOS Sensor)	20.3MP Digital Live MOS Sensor
	Venus Engine Image Processor
6K 24fps (3:2 aspect ratio, No Crop) 5.9K 30fps (16:9 aspect ratio)	4K Video with No Crop
4K DCI & UHD 4:2:2 10-bit 60fps	Internal 4:2:2 10-Bit 4K Video at 24/30p
Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization	5-Axis Sensor Stabilization; Dual I.S. 2
5.760K-dot 120Hz OLED EVF	0.76x 3.68m-Dot OLED Viewfinder
3.2″ triaxial Touchscreen tilting LCD	3.2″ 1.62m-Dot Free-Angle Touchscreen
Price (Body Only) $4000 (approx)	$1497

So, right we have only the video specification of the camera. And it’s look very impressive compared to Panasonic GH5.

With Panasonic S1H you get a option to record 4K videos at 24 fps, but the aspect ratio is 3:2. So If you record high resolution videos for production purpose than u have to use 5.9K @30fps which gives you standard 16:9 aspect ratio.

One more thing you are getting in Panasonic S1H is you can record 4K video recording mode 4:2:2 10-bit 60fps.

Additionally you are also getting larger sensor area so details will be great as well as low-light performance is also expected to be better than of M4/3s sensor.

So, overall Panasonic S1H do have a upper hand when we talk about video recording modes. but is will cost you 2X and more

No information about bit-rates and ISO range in still and video mode available for now. We will update this specs once we will get the full specification of the camera officially from Panasonic.

Panasonic GH6 will also get goodness of S1H, but not so soon. We have to wait till next year.
