It would really be insightful seeing how you could colour match vLog and Panasonic’s LogC3 with test footage from an Arri camera. A Colourist’s viewpoint would put this discussion to bed about if the new profile is worth the price tag.

Overall it seems like a disappointment tbh. It looked almost funnily like exactly what a Panasonic hater would think itd turn out like. The Gh7 is a fun little beast it seems though. My main belief is that M43 really should lean into longer focal length looks as an advantage, not a downside. I'd love to see more 100-200m equivalent lenses released on M43. I'd love to see what size a M43 100mm F1.4 would be for example, being equivalent of 200m F2.8 full frame. F2.8 FF looks are easily shallow enough, and the ease of a longer focal look with the m43 sensor is appealing. I know it wouldnt be tiny, but the Sigma 56mm 1.4 aspc lens shows interesting things could be done with a smaller image circle on the backend.

I agree with you. M4/3 is definitely a great sensor to get zoomed in with smaller lenses. Even wider smaller lenses. If I had one camera, it’d be full frame.. maybe s35. But a second camera I’m fine with m4/3. I just bought an og bmpcc :)

So watching and listening to your new video with this 'special soundtrack' at the beginning got me hook, while i told myself ''i'll just watch the first 2 min" , before to go to bed (2am here in France).

Try throwing the V Log footage through a CST and convert it to LogC3 and compare it with the LogC3 straight out of the camera. When I saw LogC3 as a feature my immediate guess was that it's purely marketing hype and the equivalent of a CST performed in camera and that's what it appears to be.

Between every Panasonic cameras I own including the GH5,GH6,G9II, S1,S5 and S5II, the GH6 has the more pleasing colors. I think the G9II is a downgrade about color science, and the GH7 looks mostly the same than the G9II. Now when I have the choice to use either my GH6 or G9II, I mostly use the GH6 everytime I can, I never use AF-C with most resolution and frame rates and I only use AF-S. But the G9II is very interesting for run and gun since the IBIS and the AF are better. However, I'm not super excited by the GH7 mainly because of the color science and because the G9II is very similar. This Arri logc on the GH7 seems interesting, but I think you can get very similar look using V-log with some extra work.

I do like the full frame. I think a prime scenario to be in is to have a full frame camera, and another camera with a smaller sensor. Studio product work for motion is particularly nice on smaller sensors, as you often times need to match the stills campaigns and have everything in focus. I still see major campaigns where the motion of the products has way shallower DOF than the stills.. something I would never allow to happen 😉

Ed Prosser an English KZitemr had the same problem as well with saturation puting the clip to Full data will solve a lot of problems for matching clips...

@@BlaineWestropp1 Emotive Color is by far the most accurate LogC conversion out there, and for ''many'' reasons, and V-Log is no exception. The Emotive Color ''color engine'' (advanced custom program) is rock solid and can precisely measure any camera sensor, better than any CST/profiling tool I ever tried. The saddest thing is that it's still little known because of the lack of marketing, but also because it's hard to believe for most skeptical people.. with LUTs being misunderstood by lots of people. If you expose and WB properly, the match is spot on 99.9% of the time, no tweaking required. A lot more than just an accurate LogC curve is required in order to match the 2 camera sensors (but you already demonstrated that in your video). I've been part of the early development of Emotive Color. If you're interested, you can contact me in private, so we can talk and i'll show you some examples of different converted cameras. If you have any side by side footage of Alexa against any of the supported cameras, i'll be happy to process them and show you the results.

I’m sure ProRes raw is better than the 422 we shot. But even on an Alexa, every codec, 422 to arriraw look pretty identical in 709.

It is not a match at all if you still have to do work to it it’s not a match. The color science is different even if it has the curve. The sensor is different as well. It looks good don’t get me wrong but so do most mirrorless cameras nowadays. The skin tones are off the interpretation of colors are off. Arri uses filmic colors while lumix uses digital. Nice marketing try tho lumix

I think Sony colors always get hated on just because they have a wider color gamut. You can create a LUT to match the Alexa or any other camera. Panasonic as always, gets over hyped. I had a Panasonic, sold it. Recommending M3/4 in 2024 should be against federal law, what are you going to move up to? lol. Some how easy has become the new normal.

I prefer the look of the Alexa over a sony, without a doubt. but.. yeah you can match cameras, and never in a movie or commercial is it cutting from the same shot to the same shot so it matters even less. also, this is my first time using a Panasonic camera, so I dont really know much about it, this was more just me looking at logc.

Unfortunately, it's just a marketing thing and the red skin tones after CST bring back the cheap consumer camera look... The work you put in matching the two cameras is pretty much the same when shooting in V-Log, so no added benefit.

agree, also the size of the photosites on a micro 4/3 compared to the huge photosites of the alexa makes it really difficult to match.

My hope was that when I looked at the footage in resolve I would have the same feeling of “F yes” that I feel when looking at Alexa footage. When I put the Lut on and it looked so different, I considered not testing any further. But when I did go a little further, I felt that the camera does look good, but you’re right, that can be said about any camera. I didn’t spend too much time on any grading, and when I rewatch this video I do think the footage looks nice, and feels good when not seeing side by side, like the roof stuff. I’m wondering if it’s a beta firmware (I don’t know, I’m not connected to Panasonic/lumix in any way). Maybe they will improve it so it’s a better match with just the Lut.

@@BlaineWestropp1 Hard to tell after all the jerking around to get it from the live scene to my monitor screen, but mainly I just saw a saturation difference. There was a bit of contrast too, but from Arri's reputation, that sounds within camera + lens variations. Actually, changing lenses alone can make that much contrast difference. But maybe after weeks of use, you might find it a more significant advantage.

@@BlaineWestropp1 i assume you were cropping the alexa to get the same fov from both cameras but even then alexa is capturing way more light, an fx3 or a7s series can get closer to the arri look because of the simmilarities of some of the sensor characteristics, specially the size of the well.

@@kenslyder In the highlights from what I understand. The v-log light is for their cameras with less dynamic range and the regular v-log was originally made for the Varicam cinema camera range and later used for the S series cameras. This is why I don't quite understand using c-log for micro four thirds since it was made for the amazing dynamic range of the Alexa. But they must have made some changes to make it work I guess, maybe it's a kind of c-log light like the v-log light.

@BlaineWestropp1

Absolutely great question. I’m really not sure. I’ve shot a bunch with the c70 next to Alexa and have a great match for them, same for FX3. This was my first time using a lumix camera so I’d need to test more. I love BMD cameras for their simple menu. The BMCC 6K FF sensor is of course extremely similar in size to the Alexa, and the colors are great. But to really know which colors match the most I’d have to have all 4 in the same room. It’s a tough one.

When Panasonic didn't add PD AF to the GH6 it had banding issues, base iso of 2000, they force many people to either move to Sony, Canon, or Black Magic. Sadly even though they fixed all those issues in the GH7 and its a nice camera I can't justify the expense of switching back. The GH4 and GH5 were the best choice for budget cinema but unfortunately the space has become very crowded and competitive.

I think ArrilogC is just a gimmicky selling advertising tool Panasonic is using to sell more cameras. Rec709/Vlog is really all you need for professional shoots. 99% of people who buy this camera will only use the provided in-camera LUTS and call it a day because they don't wanna take the time to color grade or don't know poop about color grading. I think the biggest and newest feature of the GH7 is the full-time DR boost......because that was always one of the weaknesses of the GH line of cameras. What I think is ashame, is the people will automatically stay away from the GH7 because of the MFT sensor and because of the Panasonic name. I love Lumix cameras......but I still own a Sony A7RIV for my photography needs.
