Panasonic GH3 video - looks quite amazing

[Eric Z]

Imaging-resource.com did a review of the Panasonic GH3.

Here's a link to download (untouched) footage of a bee collecting flower nectar, shot with Panasonic GH3 and 12-35mm lens:

This file is straight out of camera, with nothing done to it.
I think it looks beautiful and "meaty" - great color and lots of detail.
Considering it's only 8bit 4:2:0, and ungraded - I'm impressed.

Video information:
1920x1080p, 60fps, 47.7Mbps, Auto WB, IS ON, 1/640 sec, f/2.8, MOV container

I have a GH3 and love the quality.

I've paired it with a 14-140mm IS lens but after using it in low light, i feel that I should of gotten the 12-35 Vario X lens with a constant 2.8 through the focal length.

I also have a cheap MFT to EF adapter and tried it with a canon 24-70L. the Quality is superb but without IS, the footage was not as stable as a lens with IS.

We have a GH3 as a B camera...it is very impressive for h.264 4-2-0. the 1080 60p is very nice as well. It was a little tough to match color of GH3 to my Scarlet in tungsten lighting, but do-able.
