[Video] Canon 5DM3 Video Beat By Panasonic GH2?

What is going on with cameras these days? First we learned that the $6000 Nikon D4 is not a significant improvement over the D3S in terms of resolution or ISO performance. Now we are hearing that the Canon 5D Mark III is not a significant jump in video quality compared to the 5D Mark II that was released 4 years ago. I was shocked to see this video of a $900 Panasonic GH2 outperforming the $3500 5DM3 in terms of sharpness. Check out the full write up and 100% screen caps at EOSHD.

I’m very excited to see a video comparison between Nikon and Canon now. For the last 4 years Canon has destroyed Nikon in terms of video features and quality but that may not be the case any longer.

I actually liked MKIII footage more.

exactly this ^ My client does not care which camera appears sharper the overall look is what sells.

My client does not care which camera appears sharper in some shots. All they care about is the overall look and Canon wins here hands down.
Who cares really if its tiny bit sharper? Video still looks very crappy on Panasonic.

Just raise the sharpness levels on a custom preset in camera. I do this all the time as all the Canon picture style presets are set to the ’0′ end of 0-7. All this proves is Panasonic uses a higher level by default and bloggers simply forego any ounce of common sense and objectivity.

Yeah I agree that it’s not the greatest test but I think my point (which I did
not make clearly) was that the mark III is a much more well rounded piece of
equipment with really really handy features that come stock with it (not having
to hack it). And now with the sharpen workaroudn I believe we have an extremely
great tool at our disposal.

Ironic… I stopped reading at “raise the sharpness level…”

Granted its not something you should do but it doesn’t detract from the point. Care to add something with a little more substance and less condescension?

Technical progress stopped…
I also want to see a video comparison between Nikon and Canon.

“Very Crappy” you say?
