The footage was so stunning I became a bug along with them. My face was covered with fluffy, nasty pollen and I had a delicious piece of rotting apple in my mouth. Then the footage ended and I am still stuck here like this. Have you got an antidote ?
This footage is BONKERS! Man just a decade ago you would only see shots like this on some Animal Planet special or like Discovery Planet Earth. Very cool Kasey.
@cameraconspiraces salu2 The best and most magical footage I've seen in this channel, congratulations my friend! these colors made me feel so close to life...bravo pany
The more I watch this channel, the more I love it. I'm planing to upgrade from a x-t3 and this G9II seems to be the perfect choice. Thanks for your videos.
I'm pretty sure that bird was a Northern Flicker - it was upright on the tree which is usually how you find woodpeckers, then when it flew away it had a white rump, and also had the distinguishing flying and dropping and flying again pattern that woodpeckers do.
Honestly if Panasonic makes a GH7 they'd get all my money at this point. The G9 II is already super tempting. That camera plus active cooling? Yeah I'm sold.
i do love the benefits of the Lumix FF cameras but damn this G9ii is tempting for someone who came from Lumix MFT and has the lenses already... real world usability plus niche world usabilty...the Olympus 60mm is also a great Portrait lens...
Owl hoot at 0:48 😆 This footage is amazing, even with the occasional missed focus. Stopping down to F/8 or even F/10 ia s must with macro videography and photography. Well done! P.S. - re "What is this?" at 7:00: it's a Northern Flicker. The white rump (seen at takeoff) is the clear ID.
Thank you! I was having a shitty weekend and having to go back to my boring job again tomorrow I decided to check out your video. Loved the footage of the bees and enjoyed your comments. Ten years ago I sold my GH3. Even though it had the worst autofocus I still regret selling it. I’m happy to see Pannyboy filming the bees like that!
Pixel to pollen mode looks really good. If we could only get some kind of crippled continuous autofocus in 300FPS, maybe like the shoulder-detect autofocus from canon :D
Nothing will be the same after looking at a bee in the eye. One of my favourite videos yet. 4:1 macro or slow mo street videography, Camera Conspiracies will find the sweet spot of any camera
Incredible footage of things I didn't even know I cared to see. But I watched it all intently. Anyone says put up or shut up, you can show them that ...G911 and you!
Interesting. You know, I've never thought about macro in this context before, but super-res photo mode could get you much closer to your subject rather than just upping the megapixels of your landscape.
Awesome video, as usual. Got my G9 ii two days ago. Still going through the menu. Question: how do you film in 300 fps? I'm not seeing that option. Thanks
@@cameraconspiracies Hi, Very nice videos at 300fps, that's why I chose g9ii but I can't find this function either, please make a short video for this setting. And which SD card would you recommend? Thanks
Good work on the video, great quality. With Macro you have to stop down to f 11 or even f 16 for the extra Depth of Field. You trade sharpness but you can sharpen back in post but you can't add more Depth of Field afterwards. Panasonic has a Leica DG-Macro Elmarit 45mm f 2.8 with 1:1 Macro and OIS but it has some limitations because of the very old design (almost as old as Micro Four Thirds) like no AF limiter, very old focus motor and noisy, 1st generation Image Stabilization. With Panasonic you can have AF Spot Magnification, it gives you a small movable window with costume magnification while you can still see the entire framing and it works with Autofocus as well.
Its been a while since I watched one of your videos. It won't happen again. Fantastic video. The unidentified bird might be a Northern Flicker? Not sure.
You are inspiring me to try this out as I have the gear.... now... I'm wondering what the other two m.Zuiko macros (30mm and 90mm) would do, as well as the Leica 45mm with dual IS....
If you could have tried the Laowa 50 mm f/2.8 2X ultra macro for these shots... It would've been cell-level microscopic analysis. It's manual focus only but as you've said, at this point it's mostly down to focusing by camera movement anyway...
Really nice footage. I'm sorry if you mentioned it before but what color profile did you use ? Natural (or other kinds of 709 profiles) or V-LOG ? Thanks
Watching this on 110" diagonal 1080p projector + a 1990s KEF 5.1 surround sound is utterly glorious. Not bragging, all costs less than a wretched 4k TV.
Wow, nice find! Didn't know about the pixel to pixel mode. Amazing what you show in macro, but I can't wait to try this on tele :D This extends the range of my 100-400 immensely, both in close-up and full tele :D I've looked through the menu's but there's no such mode for photo is there?
Big fan! I would love to know how you split your time up between going out to capture footage, editing, and living life outside of this and Vegetable Police (and your UFC channel). P.S. My kids (5 and 7) get excited when they hear "All I want is the perfect camera" and start singing it. :) Keep up the great work Casey!
Yeah he is learning slowly but ummm maybe don't try to teach others until you learn first. But hey that's most reviewers who don't know how to use their kit
Amazing! I've been holding out for the GH7 but secretly hoping they release a G100 Mark 2 or G200. It would have the new autofocus but what if they give it in body stabilization & upgrade the sensor too? It'd be the biggest sleeper like a tiny GH5 maybe better who knows. I own/love my G100 it is horrible for vlog it's intended use but I feel it's very underrated otherwise and stays true to the portability M43 always intended.
a combination of macro and slomo video with lumix g is really rare. except the ones i do by myself with lumix g9, yours is the first i could find in youtube. thank you!
That’s the power of m4/3. If you need extra depth of field or enlargement, the smaller sensor is your friend. It’s sad how a large portion of the photo-community only fixates on large sensor and shallow DOF.
Or the full-frame user can simply crop by 2x (half the linear width or height) post processing. Zoom in after-the-fact. It’s sad how a large portion of the 4/3rds community only fixates on their chosen limitations with nowhere to go in the other direction, whereas larger sensors can do both. Wider field-of-view is always an option. Plus a two stop light gathering advantage with larger area sensors (equivalent area lumens per square area), with less overall noise resulting.
Spoken like armchair photographers… doesn’t sound like you guys have ever shot a macro or deep DOF landscapes. You just PRESUME that stopping down will fix it, which it doesn’t. There’s IQ penalties once you stop down too far. You’re generally left focus-stacking if you don’t want to go beyond your lens’s sweetspot. M4/3 gives you the DOF you need in one shot with free higher magnification. “Zoom in after the fact” 😂 You mean you want to switch to the output of a smaller sensor? So now your fullframe 24mp sensor has become a 6mp M4/3 when cropping half the image.
@@HesselFolkertsma diffraction impacts all formats at the same DOF a m43 macro lens at F/11 will be impacted to the same degree as a FF macro lens at F/22 , diffraction is an unavoidable physical phenomenon. Just like equivalence ,your tone is ironically funny . Where you declare you "facts" with no worries about reality, You being a macro guru and all are I am sure aware that 1:1 macro is a standardized definition used for decades . Where it means that an object in real life will be the same size on the sensor so no it doesn't give higher magnification it just fills the frame with a smaller subject. 1:1 . There is of course the actual 2:1 90mm macro which unless you are stacking at 2:1 you are out of luck nearly every sample shot I have seen from that lens is a high magnification mush. The stacked shots though can be spectacular. Among my many macro options I have a Nikon 200mm F/4 which I could use natively on any Nikon FF or APS DSLR camera OR adapted to mirrorless and have even adapted it for fun on a J5 . It still remains a 1:1 lens the only thing that changes is the smaller the sensor the smaller the subject that can fit inside it. If you look at your 60mm macro just like mine it says right there on the lens 1:1 www.dpreview.com/articles/6519974919/macro-photography-understanding-magnification I have been using m43 alongside FF since 2009 and sadly there are way too many hard of thinking m43 users. Mostly geriatric Olympus fans with scant regard for facts and given the age demographic of most m43 users a wheelchair is more likely than an armchair, As for cropping perhaps you missed the memo that there have been FF cameras with 36 .45 ,50, 61mp for several years now. The Sony A7r IV, V new A7CR , Sigma FPL some Leica's all have 61mp sensors giving approx. 15mp . As late as 2020 with the E-M10 IIIs Olympus was launching a 16mp model. Though if a FF or APS user wants or need more than 1:1 there are plenty of options including some exotic options that go as far as 5x Though it seems hard for a lot of m43 folk to understand . m43 is a tiny niche market in the overall ILC World. Regardless of what area you shoot in be it macro or birds in flight . For every m43 shooter that thinks he has it all worked out there will dozens of folk using other sensors to do the same job. m43 is an excellent system in is own right and more than capable of wonderful results in the right hands. Endless inaccurate frankly laughable claims made everyday in m43 makes them comedy gold
This has inspired me to try to adapt my EF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro to my Pentax Q (5.53x crop factor) and see how that performs. Lens weighs 3.5x the camera body. $13 adapter experiment. Will I even be able to recognize what I'm capturing?
nice attempt, but contrast too low, macro is very demand to light setup (ideally like jevelery, deep black velvet as background and tiny bright spot light or like pro in studio special beam light mask). Kasey was very lucky to catch natural light close to that, and obviously push contrast and satutation on post pro that make it so catchy.
@@AABB-px8lc you are right, there was not enough light to make everything pop. Next Spring and Summer will offer that light again. Besides wanting to try it with natural light, some external light source may also help keeping ISO down. Still the Sony cannot compete with the Panaboy here.
What's with the summer sun still out? Aren't you in freezing-ass Canada? I'm in Sweden, a bit more north than you (Lake Athabasca'ish) and we had 3C this morning and rain. Like slow rain that just wanted to be slush.
Superb footage, thank you! And tye leica macro you dream of exists: 45 mm Leica Pana Elmarit. Wonder what duak IBIS would do to y8ur already stellar footage
For macro shooting you need good light, that's why there are macro lights that are mounted on the lens, so you get a much better shot with much less noise.
At 1:1 pixel you are only using the central 1920 x 1080 pixels on the sensor for FHD mode (from the full 5776 x 4336 pixels). So it is as cropped a video as is possible. Not the same as taking an FHD video that bins the entire sensor (or most of it, with IS) then further cropping it - e.g. from 4K to FHD - because you are not going to get as close a crop and there is inevitably some image degradation unless you are stepping down by a factor of two (or another whole number). In theory all cameras could do this, but they typically won’t offer an option because it will look bad without that binning to average out pixel variation. A 135 format sensor with a very high pixel count could certainly get close to this, but you would need an extremely good lens. Olympus were masters at lens design - hopefully ‘OM System’ retained that talent.

The G9 II is a stunningly good camera, but Camera Conspiracies is also getting stunningly good. A combination made in heaven.
"Some of him was in focus at some point" should be the micro four thirds slogan 😂
This is BY FAR the best footage you've captured on any of your videos. It's not even close.
I could never hold the Sony A7IV that steady. Colors are beautiful. I’m going to get the G9II when the price drops.
That’s what I’m going to do as well. The original G9 became a great bargain pretty quickly and I’m thinking the G9 II will as well.
The footage was so stunning I became a bug along with them. My face was covered with fluffy, nasty pollen and I had a delicious piece of rotting apple in my mouth. Then the footage ended and I am still stuck here like this. Have you got an antidote ?
Based on these amazing macro videos you shot, it would have been smart marketing for Panasonic to give you the camera!
Nobody speaking truth will ever get a partnership like that. Only shills get free stuff to push.
As beautiful as the bee footage is, it can't be used by one company to promote its camera (Panasonic G9M2), or its lens (Olympus 60mm macro).
This footage is BONKERS! Man just a decade ago you would only see shots like this on some Animal Planet special or like Discovery Planet Earth. Very cool Kasey.

The bees looked amazing! That must have been a lot of fun. Also, just installed that app, freakin' amazing. Great suggestion!!
I hope Panasonic gives you a G9 II because you have probably sold 1000s for them. I definitely want one. Camera of the year.

So whats the best cheap video vlog camera set up?
A g9, or S5ii?
What about doing one on the best affordable smartphones?
Think you might enjoy PBS Deep Look and Ant Lab. They both do some really good slow mo and/or macro stuff

To answer the "What is this?" question, I reviewed the footage frame by frame. It's a bird.
Would combining G9ii with OMDS 90mm macro get 8:1?
Plus the mc-20. Maybe 16:1?
11:20 In contradistinction to the words spoken here, the correct name is "White Balance Kelvin Meter".
There‘s a Leica 45mm f2.8 OIS Macro lens.

"What is this?" Yellow shafted Northern Flicker
Great bro
Does focus peaking work in any video mode with the G9II?
I think all of us are better for a Kasey Panny video
For macro shooting you need good light, that's why there are macro lights that are mounted on the lens, so you get a much better shot with much less noise.
I keep meaning to take the ZV-1 with the Ulanzi wide lens adaptor in macro setup and testing it on bugs. Been Lazy
Isn't the pixel to pixel thing the same result as just zooming in your video in post prod though ? so any macro 2:1 could do the same isn't it ?
At 1:1 pixel you are only using the central 1920 x 1080 pixels on the sensor for FHD mode (from the full 5776 x 4336 pixels). So it is as cropped a video as is possible. Not the same as taking an FHD video that bins the entire sensor (or most of it, with IS) then further cropping it - e.g. from 4K to FHD - because you are not going to get as close a crop and there is inevitably some image degradation unless you are stepping down by a factor of two (or another whole number).
In theory all cameras could do this, but they typically won’t offer an option because it will look bad without that binning to average out pixel variation. A 135 format sensor with a very high pixel count could certainly get close to this, but you would need an extremely good lens. Olympus were masters at lens design - hopefully ‘OM System’ retained that talent.
yes!!!! thx
@cameraconspiracies Holy cow, we can see your reflection on the ass of a fly at 2:11 why isn't that ability showcased on the panny's adverts.
