  • In this video I give you 6 reasons why you should buy a Panasonic G6 for Vlogging or as camera for making RUclips videos. As its right now very affordable ,especially looking for a camera that does 1080 50/60p, buying it 2nd hand used, you can find it for less than 200 buck. Its also nice and compact being a M4/3 camera and great compact wide angle lens, while with DSLR would end up with a quite large lens and a much heavier setup. The Panasonic G6 also got a nice flip out screen to view when filming yourself, which if you look at other cams with the same price range you only end up with a larger DSLR from Canon or Nikon. Also the Panasonic G6 got a 3.5mm mic jack and a good pre-amp combined with a Rode Videomicro you can get proper audio out of this camera which is quite important for RUclips or Vlogging. Image quality of the Panasonic G6 is actually really good for such an affordable camera as it got quite the sharp 1080p which scaled up 200% it still looks nice and sharp then compared to a Canon DSLR 1080p footage. Overall the Panasonic G6 is packed full with a lot of features which a lot of the camera's around the same price would need to hack or pay extra to unlock the features. And if you are afraid that the G6 would not focus well, from my experience you just need to set it to AF-s and 1 Area focus and it will do the job well.

    I have to say, this is the perfect video, exactly what I’ve been looking for! I’ve watched quite a few G6 videos, as I’m upgrading from my G3. All other videos left a question or two I have not answered, but you have explained everything vital to whether to choose this camera. I was wavering, but decision finally made, I’m going to get a G6! Thank you so much, subscribed 🙏

  • @johannes914
    @johannes914 7 лет назад +15

    You forgot to tell the G6 has almost no moiré effect comparing to Canon DSLR. I made a few test videos myself with the G6 and posted them on my channel. I compared it to Canon DSLR and you can see how better the image quality is. I also made video tests to find out the ISO that gives you the smallest amount of noise. Some say it's 640, I would say 800. The G6 is also not that bad at in low light. With a speedbooster and a fast vintage lens, you can reach insane low fstops and capture decent footage in low light at 800 or 1600 ISO.

    Great video, just purchased the camera at an auction and I was considering the Go pro hero 7 black for vlogging, but after having a good play with the G6, I'm now saving my £340 pounds for something else. Great camera and much lighter than my G80, just the job.

      Color profile I used standard with -5 contrast and I use the histogram to show the exposure, if it is green it be exposed correctly. Also turn on highlight which show if some areas is overblown by flickering from white to black, I try to minimize having too much of that.

    • @cinemenico
      @cinemenico 7 лет назад

      A GX85/80 is not too bad either, and you get sensor stabilization. Though, yeah, that's more of a documentary style shooter device, there's no forward facing screen, no mic in, no Cinelike profiles, etc I guess. Then again, if they aren't using a Sony A7RII etc vloggers are all using a Canon G7X II these days. It's compact 'n light, appealing colors without the need of tweaking. 1080p makes it a breeze to edit. Pretty smooth autofocus. Means: quick turnarounds.
