Are older cameras still relevant? Testing the Panasonic Eva 1 - Part 2 colorcorrection

- With all the new cameras coming out are older cameras still relevant? Technology changes so fast but does that mean older technology is obsolete or do they still hold hold their value?
This was a question I wanted to check out of for myself. I was able to get a loaner Panasonic Eva 1 and paired that with my Canon CN-E 18-80 lens. In two parts I go over this camera and combination. Testing it, shooting with it and finally colorgrading it.
Piece to camera shot on the Sony FX30 and Sigma 18-55. Audio with Rode Go. One Godox TL60 RGB tube for light. No colorcorrecting done and set to S- Cinetone for picture- profile .
I still use my EVA-1/Atomos Ninja V and love how simple it is to operate and and the terrific images it produces. I often shoot V log then apply an Arri LUT and it's 95% done.
I find that is the beauty of V- Log as well. Very easy to grade and the EVA 1 produces a wonderful image. The BM assist is also a great addition to the Eva 1, though shooting raw that way really stresses my system so mostly ending up shooting ProRes if need be.
Superbra video! Väldigt informativ och jag har tänkt samma! Fortsätt med bra innehåll!
Hei, så hyggelig. Tusen takk !
Most of my cameras are Lumix (2 GH5, 3 GH5S, GH6, S5ii). I would like to add a production cinema camera to the kit. Now I’m deliberating between the EVA 1 and similar cameras from other brands, such as the BlackMagic PYXIS EF mount. Your 2-part video presentation on the EVA1 provides useful insights on the EVA1.
I am glad you found it useful. The EVA 1 truly is a great camera with a really great image and I don't think you will be disappointed by picking up one. But as I also state in my test the LCD is really bad, so please take that into consideration.
We used the EVA 1 yesterday on a multicam shoot with the Sony FX6, Canon XF605 and JVC LS300. No problems at all.
The Pyxis looks like a wonderful camera for sure, but no internal ND is basically just a headache if you are doing solo work. Also only recording in BM Raw basically locks you into Resolve.
For me the EVA 1 is still a no- brainer in this class. The Fx6 is a nice camera as wel,l but I also have to give credit to my XF605 camera and C300MK3. They are really, really nice. Going forward I think Canon will release an update on the M3 with RF. They have already made this wonderful cinema glass for RF and my retailer tells me EF is basically out. But that opens up wonderful opportunities on the used market so...
Very nice! I used to own a C200. I remember how I doubted between the EVA1, C200 and Ursa. I went for the C200 because of the brand and all the RUclipsr-hype, not for the features. I still regret that. And now years later I'm really considering buying a EVA1. Mainly because of the things I now consider to be important: image quality, ease of use, usability in post. I feel like the EVA1 ticks all these boxes.
@DanTheViddyman Thanks for watching. I have been where you are now wit the exact same choices. Glad I never went with the Ursa, great image, but demands a certain workflow and also heavier to carry around.
The C200 was or still is a great camera, but it eats memory cards and hard drives real fast :) Great autofocus but noisy image if underexposed in raw or LOG . Those two reasons made me sell it.
The EVA 1 truly is a great camera with a really great image and I don't think you will be disappointed by picking up a used one. But as I also state in my test the LCD is really bad, so please take that into consideration.
We are shooting a feature doc right now and have made the transition from the C200 to the EVA 1 with some shots on the Canon XF605. The 605 excels when working fast on my own, but that lovely image out of the EVA 1, never miss my C200 anymore.
Svein, thank you for making this video. Its impressive how the camera still holds its own despite being ancient in camera years. I got my hands on a used version recently, playing around with it and really enjoying it!
You are welcome :) It really is a lovely camera and comparing it to the Sony FX6, the LCD mount is more or less the same. That had me thinking! Also those inbuilt XLRs are huge compared to the FX6. If the Eva 1 had had that wonderful autofocus and better LCD, I would definitely think twice about ever purchasing a newer FX6. I think that says a lot in itself !
Eva is still relevant 😊
Absolutely :) a brilliant camera all around
Wonderful video. Plz continue your good work.
@cinematicjohn Thank you very much! Yes, there is loads more coming on my channel :)
really really considering this over the new lumix s5iix. Of course the newer tech gives you tools to make production easier. Anmorphic options etc. But i am way more concerned with the image itself. My main issue is low light on the eva1. Have you had a chance to do any low light tests and possible stop range? Thank you for the video!
Thank you for watching! For low light a bigger sensor is always going to be beneficial. Personally, however, I still would choose the Eva 1 for a few reasons over the Lumix S5iix. The EVA 1 image is really lovely, it has proper NDs built in, xlrs on the body itself and long lasting batteries. And it records to cheap SDXC cards as well. When you add those peripheral things to an SLR with a cage, things quickly become bulky and the costs add up. The cost of a camera is no longer just the cost of a camera. The Eva1 has dual ISOs and that also helps. However, I would not choose it specifically for low light shooting, but no camera, really is built for that, bar the Fx3/ A7S3 cameras. They are really lovely in low light conditions if you want to catch the ambient surroundings. But that is my experience from shooting with cameras where you can't control the light.
