![]() ![]() I adjusted the iris in shot based on the light meter’s suggestion. For the landscape, the GH2 managed the contrast well and it exposed perfectly. There were only a few times the GH2 outperformed the competition. The camera does everything right, from flip out screen to good audio, but the image quality is very jagged, black, and there are reds bleeding into the shadows. It’s easy to use, fast to get up and running and out to clients, the battery life after all these years of use is still amazing, and it shoots forever on one card. Out of all the footage, the GH2 does the worst, but I still like the camera the most- because it’s the best camera for video. I was using the camera’s internal light meters to expose for the middle on all shots, and since the BMPCC has no light meter so I used the histogram. 5dtorgb gh4 iso#The GH2 performs worse at low ISO, such as 160 and shines more at ISO 200 and 320.įrom the beginning, you can see that the cameras record very differently and exposure if very different. It’s photographs have the most dynamic range at 100 ISO, which probably isn’t it’s native ISO (it probably has no native ISO). It performs best at most ISOs between 100 and 12,000. That said, the Nikon D750 seems to be a very different beast. It should give good dynamic range with low noise and true color. Shooting at native ISO gives you the best possible characteristics of the camera. I tried to shoot around this ISO, but the light was very strong and I couldn’t always do that. ![]() 5dtorgb gh4 movie#The Nikon uses a huge crop from it’s full frame sensor, so what I read was that the native ISO should be around 800, could be 400 according to other sights, and in movie mode 3,200 is a guesstimate on the native ISO. There was an article I read on this awhile back, but despite my attempt to find the article, I couldn’t. The GH2 is rated around 320, but when in movie mode that changes, it doubles because of the HD crop/down-rezing. The Nikion D750 and GH2 don’t really have clear native ISO’s. When shooting Raw, the BMPCC only does 800 ISO. The native ISO of cameras can be confusing. I tried to shoot at the same pace for each shot, but there were a lot of factors involved in balancing the three cameras and time, so some shots differ from camera to camera. It gives you a very naked look at the camera’s footage. This is a comparison of ungraded, rec709 HD footage. ![]() When all 3 camera’s footage is put up in a triptych, a label will tell you which is which. Watch and guess which camera you think shot the footage. ![]() In the footage, you won’t see the camera’s footage labeled at first. Therefore, this test is less scientific than most would like, however, it answers a lot of questions I had and has led me further on the path to understanding my new camera’s workflow. I didn’t have a tripod, so I just walked around with 3 cameras around my neck and handheld everything. They were shot on my lunch break from work, and at the office meeting room where I worked that day. Some might think, “if you’ve used one camera you’ve used them all.” That’s not true at all, because when you compare them to each other you quickly find out what the cameras are good at doing, and what they can’t do well at all. These are the first cameras that I’ve bought in 6 years, since the Panasonic GH2, so I need to do some testing. I recently bought not 1, but 2 cameras:the Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera and Nikon D750. ![]()
