I vote for the Lumix. The image was cleaner and sharper in my opinion.
I agree with most...the LUMIX has the best quality picture and action.
Forget everything else, I liked the “bye everybody” at the end 😂 that should be your signature ending
The Panasonic looks way better than either Canon. The color is "off" on the new Canon, sorry I don't know cameras that well.
Agree.
He has NEW LIGHTS also
@@staind288 The lights definitely helped, but they were the same for all 3 cameras, right?
Have to agree. Your shots seem to be more washed out with the Canon.
He said at the beginning of the video he didn’t adjust the white balance so don’t judge the cameras on color...
The Canon M50 seems to have the best picture quality, but the constant focusing gives me anxiety. Another vote for the Lumix.
Never mind it’s the new shop lights. All the cameras are way brighter.
Loving the upgrades Wes, but keep in mind we come for you and your wit. Personally like the LUMIX best. Canon autofocus hurts my eyes.
The Lumix looks like the winner hands down. Makes me consider one for my next camera.
Laughed out loud when you said not really cold out and there was snow and ice on your driveway
*"COLD"* is relative! Anything above 20°F with no wind is nice in cold snowy climates. This coming from MN.
It's not the temp that hurts. It's the darn wind.
@Lewis Bradford Coming from MN where temps can get down to -35 at this time of the year, above 20 is warm. :)
Thats what it looks like outside for 4 months in the north
Well, it depends on where you live. Here in northern Europe, Sweden infact, we have arctic climate in the northern parts during wintertime. Anything above -20 degrees celsius is quite warm If the wind isn’t blowing. Then it depends on how humid the air is. Is it dry the cold doesnt feel that bad. It all depends on how used you are to the cold. And driving on ice and snow arent that special, we use spiked wintertires go get around.
I like the lumix the best by far, Quality out of all of them seems to be the best
Haven't had any qualms about any of your video camera quality. I just plain out like your vids!
The best thing youve got going for you is the personality, “alright fellas” makes me feel like the nephew in the shop lmao
I feel like Wes is just talking to me. No shouting, just a "personal" conversation between him and me. No bragging or trying to impress, just info and low-key humor.
I’ve NEVER been this early! I like the lumix personally
As a Canon fan boy it hurts to say it but the Panasonic seems to be the better choice for you. The auto focus seemed to lock in better on what you were filming. You also seemed much more comfortable using it with how the zoom works and such. But ultimately it is your money and I'm just glad you post these videos for us to watch. If you kept the old camera I would keep watching. Happy New Year!
Edit: Just saw your camera comments at the end. Unfortunately I am like I said a Canon fan boy so not too sure about the settings on the Lumix. A little Google searching led me to an article for the GH4 where you have to go into manual photo mode. Go into settings for the ISO and there is an option called ISO Increments where you can change it to 1/3 value. Giving you a lot more options. Not sure if this translates over to the G85 or not but might be worth checking if you haven't already.
I agree. I am a Canon person also, but my vote would be for the Lumix.
Wes, so I'm watching this video and the Mrs hears the car door bong sounds as she opens our fridge door looks at me utterly confused! Then figures out I'm watching the video and the door bong came from the tv🤣
I work construction . Outside all the time . The sound of heat coming on is like music .
The sound of the furnace running didn't bother me at all....probably doesn't carry over into the video as much as in person.
I can definitely hear it.
Sounds like a cat got caught in the fan.
Probably depends on your sound setup. Most smartphones and ears probably don't make it out much. Better sound system prolly makes it different.
I could hear it, but it's just the ambient sound of a shop. I wouldn't personally worry about it.
Listening through my earbuds the furnace is not that noticeable.
Your boy saying "bye everybody" needs to be your end signature. It makes your channel yours.
Who cares about your opinion nothing wrong with his border sign at all if they don't say something they can stay out of it don't know kids don't belong to you at all so stay out of it you need to stay out of it go to people's personal affairs
Personally I don't care which camera you use. I'm here to learn something and get entertained and I'm getting both.
Keep up the good work
I wonder if there are many technicians in America like you? It’s so easy to just try and diagnose changing to new parts but you find out the problem then change. Bravo!
Love these videos. New to the channel and I’ve been working my way through all the old videos over the last few weeks.
If only I could get paid sitting here watching you work. Thanks for putting these videos out and letting me hang out with you!
Awww your boy is so cute holy crap. When he went running from behind that forklift i think my heart grew three sizes.
What show was it supposed to say about their boys in are not crap your crap say anything nice at all don't say it at all signs that buddy don't like his boys don't look at the channel I don't say there are those boys at all
@@fredjones3135 Did you have a stroke while typing that?
The Lumix has by far the best clarity.
I appreciate your dedication to making improvements.
New light in Shop is pretty nice.
Love to follow your troubleshooting. And your camera work makes it feel like we are right there with you, helping to cuss out "genius" engine designers! 👍 Dang it! Where'd that 10 mm socket go...
One thing for sure Wes, you've made me glad I got a G85, the video looks great! The wide angle lenses are one of the reasons I bought it to begin with.
I haven’t messed around with ISO much so I couldn’t tell you anything other than what’s in the manual. I leave it mostly on Auto ISO.
Hi Wes, love the contect and your weather. Just like Scotland!! Re your comment about oil tracking up/down wiring looms, its a very common problem with the Land Rovers (Discovery 2 or Defender) fitted with the TD5 diesel engine. The injector loom is inside the head and is notorious for bleeding oil to the ECM. I've had to open an ECM and wash it out with brake cleaner before now!!
Keep up the good work.
Love the video. And that's nothing; a while back, Mercedes-Benz had such crappy wiring harnesses, people were getting motor oil through the tail lights. You cannot make that stuff up
The Lumix seems to be the best option. The Canon looked like it was having a difficult time focusing on things where the background and foreground were close to each other (like when you had the scan tool on the seat), or when something shiny was a decent part of the frame (like with the shot of the thermostat on your toolbox).
Love the audio ,unlike many,many channels, can clearly hear and understand your narrative of projects.
Agree. Much easier than other channels to hear what you're saying,
I think the Lumix is the best. Never a focus issue and the picture is great. I dig whatever your workin on so thanks for the hard work plus the pain in the rear to send it out.
The panasonic seems to have the clearest most focused images but your original camera is good enough for me
Like a Sasquatch , you caught it on film , once. Nice job.👍
Wes, I would say the Panasonic camera was the better one but also, your new lighting has made a fantastic difference.
Keep up the good work.
Such passion for all things broken...profitable or not. I enjoy your energy and thought it well to say so. You're perpetually smiling. I envy that. Would be sorta cool to be next bay over and just share back and forth about what works and what doesn't. I gave the profession(mechanic) up 20 years ago. Nonetheless, interested. Thanks.
Stay with the Lumix, best performance as far as I see...
:-D
Thx for the vid!
:-D
The lights are making a huge difference. I always prefer to have 10x more lights than I actually need.
Those cam sensors on the TBlazers are fun. And yes they’re stocked everywhere locally because they always fail. Love the new camera work, just beware the larger sensor will yield a larger file size to upload. Awesome vid!
Wes I like watching you and South Main Auto. I have a 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer with 299K miles on it. I have had some idle instability issues this winter when it was below 0°f.
I will check out my cam shaft solenoid, and connection.
Thanks to you I know exactly where it is, what I have do to replace it.
Thanks to South Main Auto, a Trailblazer that had weird dash light problems, I changed my ignition switch.
Thank you for the help.
On the steering angle sensor, make sure that the steering wheel is centered perfectly when going down the road. A friends was a off about 15 degrees. When she had it aligned, the light was off. I believe her alignment problem was every time she parked, she had to check to make sure that the curb was solid! Once I saw it with about 1&1/2” between the rim and the curb. Twice she had to get help to turn the steering wheel so that she could turn the key to on. I have told her a couple of times, when she hits the curb, put it in neutral, then release the brakes, then put it in park.
That takes too long.
You can give suggestions, probably not change their habits.
Hello from north east Montana.
10 miles from Canada.
Wes I've bee subscribed from the start and video quality for me has ever been an issue. I just love the content. So use what camera you like and keep 'em coming. Thanks
The Land Rover TD5 Diesel engines have a known problem of oil going through the wire loom to the computer module. So I guess what you saw in the video is true.
Yeah, it tracks through the injector loom up through the cores by capillary action into the ECU connection and if unlucky, into the ECU itself. Loads of them never got replacement looms under warranty, mine included. Couldn't believe how much oil made it into the thing.
Hey Wes, personally I don't care about a camera not looking great, except focus. All I really care about is you doing a great job!
The trailblazer could probably use an oil change with some marvel. Their new cam phaser will end up looking like the old one without good clean oil running through them. I see that quite a bit with neglected oil changes. Great video Wes thanks!
Canon has better picture, its very clear but also struggle at focus and setting it up will distract you from what you suppose to do, Canon is generally more of a photo cam where you can manually set things up before taking that money shot, also that manual zoom is amazing, but again mainly for photos and not videos, its a canon thing :)
Panasonic will be much easier to use as a video cam, you'll just have to work a bit on your settings and iso as the video was overexposed when you used it.
Both of course are night and day compared to your old cam.
Hope this helps Wes and keep these videos coming! :)
So you're telling me that you are standing behind me, whispering in my ear. That's a little creepy.
We definitely need some more content on the blazer! I own one and have run into most if not all of the issues listed. They are extremely common in these blazers. I would be FOREVER indebted if you filmed the fix in the evap 🙏🏼
Great video! Cannon seemed to do the worst but quality was consistently higher than average so it’s all a win!
I agree. I also have a blazer 2008 and I’ve ran into these problems and a few more. All in all I love this trailblazer but it has its quirks but all cars and trucks do.
Just for the record, I cannot hear the heater and I always wear headphones. Great videos,Wes. Thanks
That noise is the shop heat? I thought it was hail in the roof.
I think and like the Lumix, best phot with it.
No preference on the camera. You post pretty solid content and you're good at explaining how things work......that's what keeps me watching. In other words, I would still watch if you recorded on a VHS tape and uploaded a phone video of said VHS tape playing on a tv.
I just bought the M50 for myself to shoot with. Sort of a middle of the road camera from what I can tell. Haven't really used it much yet but I will say the auto focus is awesome compared to my old camera. Of course the old one is really for still shots with manual zoom. Lol. It's still a massive upgrade for me. Love the videos Wes! Keep up the good work!
Some mornings I kind of run like that Trailblazer too. I hate intermittent problems.
I prefer the lumix, better focus and picture
Great diagnosis Wes, at least the customer brought it to in the season that was possibly causing the issue.
Panasonic Lumix looks better to my untrained eye.
Thanks for sharing, stay safe all.
Best regards from the UK.
John.
I think that since you now have a large and loyal following, and much more experience, you should re-make “ Hierarchy of Reliability”. That was one of your most brilliant but under appreciated videos.
As I have always said, have a mechanic review what the design engineers propose and correct the design so it can be repaired without ripping the car apart.
Whats up with the white pickup hidden behind shop? Possibly a future video?
My question as well. Plus I think I saw a tire machine on a pallet and don’t remember that.
I used to be a camera geek, but as cameras got smarter and I got older I found that I didn't have the interest or inclination to learn how to work them. So when actual film cameras became passe, I bought point and shoot digital cameras, the last of which is a Lumix FZ. This camera does everything but my dry cleaning, but it's too complex for me, so it too is used as a point and shoot. I also used to be an auto mechanic in the carburetor, points, condenser, and adjustable valve clearance days. I watch in awe as you use diagnostic tools that are beyond me to troubleshoot all manner of electrical gremlins in late(r) model cars and trucks. I have a general understanding of many of the acronyms such as MAF, TPS and the like, but I probably couldn't find these parts on today's cars let alone diagnose them with the diagnostic tools I used--a vacuum gauge, timing light and an ice pick fitted with a ground wire and alligator clip. The Lumix picture looks better to me than the others, and the Trailblazer sounded fine after your your fixes. Enjoy the channel, your wry sense of humor, the dog, your boy, and Mrs. Wes. Keep the videos coming mostly in focus or not; it's all good.
Shop nice and bright. Don't know anything about video camera. But great job Wes. By the way thanks for getting back to me
New lights are amazing, I really hope you stick with the panasonic, in the future I'm hoping to see you put your diagnosis and what you did to fix the problem in the description
The lumix looks like the way to go
Lumix much better, I watch for your skill and witty comments. Love your work, wish you were in Australia near me
I will go with others and say the Lumix looked good from way down here in NZ. Enjoyed this video too. Got 3 great video to watch today, mustie1, Wes and Marty T. Safe travels up your way bro.
Another vote for the lumix Wes 👍
Lumix is defiantly the choice for video.
I've had a 03 bravada for about a year now, have watched at leas 50 videos on common 4.2 issues. The realization that the PS pump being in the way never gets old.
The no fuel filter thing had me for a sec until you mentioned there's no return line. The fuel filter change is a huge pain in the cahones so I'm glad GM figured around that.
Designers get special awards for making simple jobs as complicated as possible.
I vote Lumix as well, that canon focus just isn’t great, either that or keep your old school one lol
I have a suspicion the Canon 50 something will get sold...
"Focus you fack!" - AVE
Or cost you a fortune in heating bills. 😆
Panasonic camera for me. Please don't worry about the heater. It does not bother the sound quality at all. Great job as always and thanks for letting all of us have a voice.
F-stop is the size of the hole in the lens. It sets depth of field as well as brightness. A pinhole camera does not need to focus, so f22 means stuff close and far will both be in focus. f2.8 is "wide open" and gives a shallow depth of field. Stuff in the background is fuzzy, and auto-focus problems are much more obvious. ISO is like the speed rating of film. In a digital camera, it sets the reference level for the analog-to-digital converter reading the pixels. You set a low voltage level with ISO 26000, but that also makes the noise floor of the sensor very obvious, much like you can see the grain in high-iso film. So you set the f-stop as low as you can live with or desire for the depth of field, and use the ISO to get the picture exposed enough without too much noise. Set the shutter to whatever standard file you picked, 30fps for 30p, 60fps if you are shooting in 60p. 24fps if you are feeling like a movie guy. Fast action likes 60p, but the files get really big, especially at 4k recording. Shooting in 4k means you can use the editor to select and zoom in on a part of the frame and still get HD (1080) resolution. My buddy says RUclips will promote 4k content more, but who knows? My choice would be to shoot f2.8 or low as possible for the intro and outro, so the background of the shop is fuzzy and you "pop," as the video guys say. For the work close-ups, you might stop down to f8 or even smaller, so all parts of the engine are in focus. Then again, maybe you want just the "thing" you are working on in focus, with the rest a little blurry, so open up the f-stop to f2.8. Shoot 4k and you can pan and crop in your editor program. I like Vegas Pro, since you don't need a computer science degree to use it, unlike Adobe Premier. Also BlackMagic DaVinci Resolve is pretty good, and free, but you need certain nVidia graphics cards. With all the giant files, some folks are erasing the raw working files after editing the master. I put them on a 4TB 100-dollar USB drive, and just keep buying new ones as they fill up. I do have a network storage mirrored backup of the edited master file as well, if/when a USB drive crashes.
Note there are 200-dollar Lumix zoom lenses, and 800-dollar ones. The expensive ones keep the wide aperture setting over the whole zoom range, the cheap ones go to F5 or smaller when you zoom in. Having the f-stop independent of the zoom is worth it to me. An outdated chart:
www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3236455
If the lens has a range for both zoom mm and f-stop, that means it is the cheaper type. I have:
PANASONIC LUMIX G X Vario Lens, 35-100mm, F2.8 ($949.00 )
For shots you have to get from further away, like my overhead crane, and two:
Panasonic H-HS12035 LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm, F2.8 ($797.99)
For the general-purpose lenses on the other two cameras. Micro 4/3 cameras are half-equivalent to a 35mm or full-frame camera, so a 12mm lens is equivalent to a 24mm lens in a full-frame camera. The lower the focal distance, the more like a fish-eye,, which bloats out your face, and worse yet, your lady's hips. For head shots, I like to set the camera further away and zoom in, often 35mm, so I don't look so fat or goofy.
I have a Panasonic GH3 and two GH4 cameras, similar to your G85. Canon reputation is for good lenses, but they must have squandered that chasing consumer market. I far prefer the G85 in your video above. Panasonic made a corporate decision to let its consumer camera designers do things that put pressure on their pro-camera guys, while all the other companies cripple the consumer stuff to protect the pricing of their high-end cameras.
Buy cameras with a bigger sensor for low-light performance. Full-frame is the size of a 35mm film, but the camera and lenses get very large and heavy and expensive. I like Micro3/4 like I own, a good compromise. A good comparison web site for cameras:
www.apotelyt.com/compare-camera/panasonic-gm1-vs-sony-rx100
My next buy will be for a very small pocket camera, and the Sony RX100 VII looks great. One-inch sensor, very small, can flip the LCD, mic input, and a flash for still pictures. It can also live stream over its USB, something my GH4 cannot do. And it is small enough to carry in my jacket, while being able to shoot 4k video. Downside is 1200-dollar price tag.
Dirty throttle body does the same and won’t set a code.
4.7 Mopar will do this, too. Drove me crazy a coupla' winters ago.
@npinneo x Probably not, as idle speed jumps up and down above the threshold detection and time. What’s the fault code triggering criteria?
The “kit” lenses are always naff. Canons way of you buying “pro” lenses. The canon seemed to have more trouble with focusing. The Panasonic seemed the better of the two.
Well to me Wes's head was always focused.
Hi Wes, got a bit fed up with cam business, not a problem to me as it was before, Thanks for the content about the car.
Hi Wes, Lumix is the one. Top tip is to set your shutter speed to twice the frame rate of your video. I'm in the civilised PAL world but guess you are shooting 30fps, so set your shutter at the closest setting to twice that number. Then set to aperture priority and that should take care of your exposure. I'd suggest turning off auto focus once you set the distance you are working at and it will stop the hunting around. Downside focus wise is you can't hold things up to camera for a close up. Hope it helps a wee bit, keep asking the questions we're all here to help. You help us plenty. ps Happy New Year.
the lumix g85 is the best by far
How do you make money off of a tried and true thermostat style? Mold the entire neck into it and then you can charge 10x the price. Crazy GM engineers.
Yea. And let’s control the fan clutch with the ecm too. Sometimes that fan goes tornado for no reason. Also I swear the trailblazer is not as good quality. We have an envoy and a trailblazer. The trailblazer has all kinds of weird issues. The envoy is just solid. Plus heated seats and better stereo. And rear heat. And ... yea the envoy is just better. I have and a lot of others have issues with the trailblazer killing batteries. Wake up 3 am go to bathroom look outside. Lights on. Lol.
Ford's thermostat break and leak.
The new 3.5 v6 water pump is inside timing chain cover in oil when fails leaks into oil ruins engine..
So Ford has some real bad design s...like the Triton 5.4 phasers chains and plugs and the 6.0 psd diesel disaster...
I stay with GM any day.
All my fleet trucks have over 250k no serious issues .
Ps I had old school Fords 302 etc the best then.
@@MitzvosGolem1 6.0 powerstrokes are not a ford design, not a bad engine if the updates are done and they are taking care of, i used to manage a fleet of 450 school buses with the 6.0 or aka vt365, they were actually a great engine easy to fix very little aftertreatment crap on them, the real pos was the was the vt390 or 6.4 powerstroke, they used to fill the crank case with fuel, and the high pressure fuel pumps were garbage too, then the duramax's we had in the minis were the biggest garbage we had hands down, 08's to 17's, we ended up getting rid of them after 3 years, to much trouble, traded the duratrash for cummins and the gm gas 6.0. pretty much cut all the overtime out of the budget with that move, should have done it a lot sooner
@@bleachinuri true... Cummins and GM 6.0 best cheapest .
My buddy redoes alot of 6.0 psd diesel and when upgraded not a bad motor.
Good morning wes and the new camera's are great and I have seen oil in ecms and coolant in ecms. I've seen it a bunch on cummins heavyduty product. We call is wicking. The pwm signal causes the oil and or coolant to migrate through the harness
What keeps all us diehard WWW fans here is your content, which can only be enhanced with gear upgrades. You'd be in my top 5 even if you were still using your phone to make videos.
I, too, cast my vote for the Lumix.
keep the Panasonic
(breathes in paper bag)
[do not make fun of GM. do not make fun of GM]
"Great Job GM!"
The face tracking is fooled by your moon-shaped face! Put it on moon tracking. Love your son saying "Bye everybody", too cute. Great videos Wes, no matter what camera you choose the content is excellent! The aperture will affect your depth of field more, the Lumix seemed pretty good.
The panasonic works the best overall. The picture stability is better, sound is good etc. The background noise is just part of the job. Keep up the good work Wes. Enjoy the videos as always take care.
Panasonic for me. Over exposed for my liking though.
I love both of the new cameras looks way better no matter witch one.
Hi Wes. Land Rover had a problem with the injector harnesses on the TD5 engine years ago. Very often oil would make it all the way back to the engine ECU. It could cause all sorts of starting and running problems when the oil got into it
The oil creep up problem is a huge problem with certain Mercedes. They even made a blockoff cable which is essentially a cable where every wire was cut and soldered back together to stop the capilary action.
If not found fast enough, it can cause ECMs to fry as the oil creeps all the way back through the harness.
I saw a video of a case where this caused a O2 sensor to be destroyed as well because the oil made it all the way down there.
I believe you are way over thinking this camera thing!! But you asked so my 2 cents...cull the M50...to many issues...I will restate earlier comments...its your content that makes your videos RE-WATACHABLE....I know you care alot about us getting a good product...just keep it up...I alway start my Sunday mornings with mustie1, coffee, and a ciggy...now I just hope for a WWW vid to be in the mix...just saying👍👍👍👍👍
If you ever have a land rover come in with a td5 engine,running bad might have a money lamp on ,injector wiring harness,and you must check ,oil does track along the wiring ,and does fill the ecu,several times I have had this,good video,keep safe people,look forward to the next video.
I really liked the Panasonic. I think it did much better. The R700 was also good. I use a Nikon and a Canon but for still photography. I'm still using Pentax 35mm also but I'm a little old fashioned. Among my main jod I am also a mechanic. I work on mostly diesel in busses, heavy duty trucks and tractors. I can work on the OLD gas vehicles but all these new computer systems in them have me stumped sometimes. My back is shot so I can't do some of the things that I used to so I really enjoy and look forward to your videos. Keep up the good work and keep them coming.
Thanks for the vid Wes, it was a pleasure to watch you work 🛠 , i would go for the Panasonic LUMIX, to me as audience it came out the best but that's just me knowing crap about camera's😉.
I vote for the Lumix [sharp image], sound is good, shop lighting excellent,. Well done & thank you.
Lumix definitely makes a nicer video. Thanks for the great content. Hope your having a great new year.
So far its the G85. color temp was spot on IMO and focus tracking was quite good. The new shop lights are giving you great depth of field too. in the opening sequence everything appeared properly exposed. under the hood was very hot, at least 105-110 IRE. If you have a waveform monitor check that portion of the vid out.
I vote for the Lumix , the image is better . Thanks for taking the time and money to bring us these.
I think the Lumix had the best image & held focus better.
As for the heaters coming on as background noise, doesn't bother me! At least we know you're working comfortable! Funny thing: the first time you mentioned the heat coming on, at that exact moment, the heat came on in my house, too, so I had a little "extra" background noise!! 🤣🤣🤣
Good fixes Wes, and Panasonic for the win .
👍👍
I like looking at freeze frame and checking Pids when light illuminated.
I like your oldest camera the bestest. There's no logic in it. Great video!
