I have developed our very successful process over the past 3 years and take offense at your quip. Do you know my paycheck comes from a company that produces marketing and educational content for...

Ok, this seems to be the response here in this forum and you guys seem to think it's ok to be discourteous.  I went to the trouble to post this here for you guys, as a way to learn something and I...

Hi Bob,I have uploaded a video of one of the few test clips where the GH3's AF tracking did not make the shot.  Will pointed the 35-100mm lens into the setting sun (notice the flare in the opening...

Hello Bob, Dave here.When we test like this, we import all the files into LR4 and change the name upon import.  We typically choose the camera we are collecting data on as the file name so later we...

We think the video quality of the GH2 and G5 and GH3 is lots better than the video quality from our D800's and it's so much easier to use and to travel with.  And, like Will said, having AF when...

Hello,We are confident that the premium M43 / other mirrorless (we like the Fuji X Pro) wil be the same image quality.Our conclusion is that the DSLR, any of them, wil not allow us to shoot hybrid...

LOL!!  It's actually the reflection of the blue-ish sky on his shiny coat.  Someone did add the vignette, but it was shot with the internal color maxxed out, then cropped square.  There's a 24x24...

Agree.  We had our last MF back (Mamiya) here last year and found it nearly useless.  Too slow to shoot, files SO big they did not make sense for what we shoot.  In fact, then the guys shoot...

Hello Sir,Yes, depending on how you have the eye sensor setup.Yes, the sensor is just to the right side of the EVF eyecup and you can use your finger on it easily.  But if you hold the camera too...

Hello Jim,I shoot most of the commercial video here and I can tell you the Nikon 1 system is the absolute worst at video.  I would rather go back to our HVX camcorders.  We encourage as many folks...

Hello Marco,Yes, we find that for a blend of stills and video, the Lumix / Olympus are the way to go.  In fact, we just trained a super talented seniors shooter, Ty Fischer...

Hi Marco,No pay.  We are just struggling here with which direction to go with our camera gear.  Wayne is our "old school" shooter and is having trouble with the concept of shooting hybrid on...

Hi Jim,you are SO right. The time wasted flipping the DSLR in and out of video mode is troublesome and can easily cause us to miss a shot.  We did not mention that the GH3 will shoot both video and...

Well done sir!  Excellent summary.  Thanks.Sorry there's not many examples, we are making decisions here on what to buy and not buy for our client shoots and though our viewpoints may be of...

Three happy big dogs chasing a ball. Two pro photographers shooting the pups using both photo and video.  One shoots a D800 with a 70-200 f2.8, the other a Lumix GH3 with the 35-100mm. Both setup...

Here's a look at the GH3's video frame rate options on the NTSC version:http://youtu.be/wmHHEIueBiQ
