I enjoyed your comparison. Man, I am leaning even more to the Varicam. I am hesitant because of the more recent cinema cameras out in 2024 (afraid if being outdated). But getting a used Varicam may give more bang for its bucks.
Like I said in my first varicam video, don't buy this camera if you want work but don't have the work or the camera for the work. Buy a modern camera (fx6) that is popular and is a good camera.
Amazing content man but you may want to redo the test and a human so we can judge skin exposure but the varicam needs a IR CUT filter as the infared pollution in the Shadow hence the brown margenta cast.
Thanks! Yeah the test is a little scuffed. I’m still trying to figure it all out, haha! I hadn’t thought about getting an IR CUT filter. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@shinzouproductions8770 That’s the nature of cinema cameras. They don’t have a strong IR filter built in. It’s designed to be sensitive to red (for skin) however that makes them susceptible to IR contamination. I have the VARICAM LT and had to buy the Tiffen FAR RED CONTROL kit. It came highly recommended by the Panasonic rep for B&H Photo. He said it performed the best and maintained good skin tones.
I’ve been considering the Varicam and EVA1 lately. Your insights are helpful!!!

Do the same test but now with skintones. It looks like the LT need an IR cut filter because there is a huge magenta color shift.
You need the same with the p4k when you use NDs though
What an interesting Video. The LT is the Big Sister for my S1h. Love the image
I wanted the varicam LT a while ago because I found out that's what Ozark was filmed on but at the time it was out of my price range..
