The number one thing I LOVE about the GH2 as opposed to the Canons I've used (7D and 5D Mark II) is the usability out of the box. I can also use Nikkons and Canon FDs as well as many others. I've already played with C-mount, M42, Canon EF and Pentax K lenses. The lack of a mirror box and the plentiful lens adapters opens the possibilities up quite a bit. The only thing I would add is that there are actually a TON of lens choices with the Panasonics (maybe more?). Even if articles such as these have made me take Reid with a grain of salt on most issues he is still the authority on all the crazy weirdness of Anamorphic lenses available to the HDSLR and large chip video community. He needs to learn a bit on post production, though I do appreciate his preview of the Cinestyle next to the GH2. These videos just show me that I wouldn't want Andrew to be my colorist since all the "graded" shots are flatter than the origional raw footage, they lack any contrast or saturation. They totally have sadly turned an otherwise informative website a bit of a joke, it's sad to see someone convince himself that what he bought is the best at the sake of his credibility. There are too many "DSLRs are still totally important and better then everything" style articles. I've been following for a while now and I do feel that it's content has slipped over the last 6 months to a year, whenever the AF-100 was announced. Link: Canon 600D Technicolor CineStyle versus GH2 Cinema Mode The GH2 holds onto a hell of a lot, so even though the Canons have sensors capable of wider dynamic range, the GH2 still beats them, CineStyle or no CineStyle.Ĭlick through to his article for more thoughts. The Canons lose so much in the scaling process, not just detail and a clean image but tonality and dynamic range. Oddly, RAW stills confirm that the GH2's sensor has less dynamic range to begin with relative to the 600D (and especially the 5D Mark II) - but clearly the Canon is not running away with it. My opinion is that the GH2 looks more 'real' and the 600D looks more 'cinema'. Here's Andrew's conclusion (note the Canon 600D is known as T3i in North America): While I certainly don't expect the Canon's resolution to hold up to the greater resolving power of the GH2, I do think that some of the Canon shots could've been graded more favorably. Video is no longer available: /23395345Īs is often the case in these tests, the Canons don't fare too well when A/B'd with the GH2. Given CineStyle is proving tremendously popular with Canon DSLR shooters, how do the Canon DSLRs with the Technicolor picture profile compare with the Panasonic GH2? Andrew Reid from EOSHD shot a video comparing the two:
CINEMA PICTURE STYLE VS CINESTYLE FULL
I’ll have the official link and full details when it’s released by Technicolor later this month.First of all, Technicolor has released a new version (click on the "Registered User Download" tab) of its CineStyle LUT compatible with Red Giant's LUT Buddy and Apple Color. Technicolor’s rep at the Canon booth gave me a brief rundown of the how and why for the new CineStyle, which you can see in the video below. By designing a standard CineStyle Picture Style to use across the board on video projects, Technicolor is making it easier to match the DSLR footage with the primary source footage in the color grading steps of post production. Some of these user-generated profiles are better than others.Īlthough the official press release was a little vague on what this new “CineStyle” requires, it turns out that it is simply a user-defined Picture Style that’s geared toward Technicolor’s cinema customers who use Canon DSLRs in conjunction with their projects. These profiles can then be loaded onto your camera and saved as one of the available custom user profiles.Ī search around the web for these profiles will yield results for many downloadable files created from the EOS Utility, many of which were created with the intent to flatten the contrast of the Canon DSLR footage, thus adding a little more flexibility in color grading. Through this program, you can create your own custom Picture Style, which goes beyond the capabilities of defining user Picture Styles in the camera’s menu system.
CINEMA PICTURE STYLE VS CINESTYLE FOR FREE
I spoke with a Technicolor representative at Canon’s NAB booth yesterday and learned that Technicolor’s CineStyle profile should be available for free download on Apon Technicolor’s website.įor those of you unfamiliar with custom Picture Styles (as Canon calls them), every Canon DSLR comes with a piece of software called EOS Utility.
