Whats better for video GX7 vs 70D vs GH3 ?

I have owned both and prefer the GX7. More options, also a great sensor crop option that gives 2.4x greater zoom reach with zero degradation of image. GX7 has a newer sensor. I ended up selling the GH3 and keeping the GX7.BTW IBIS does not work with video, but with Panny lenses this is a non-issue.

Hi Cheryl! The GX330 will be a good replacement for your gx257. To know more about the specifications pls visit esupport.sony.com. Thanks. -Anthony

I use Pinnacle Studio 12 ( acutally it's 12.1 - the Ultimate version ) and it works pretty well with my Quad Core computer and a good video card for editing AVCHD footage from this camera. I'm very pleased.Tony

It depends in how much you want to spend and how much are you going to use your camera, for the diference in price between these 2 i would definetly get the 70D!

i believe just the iPhone. the 70 D will be too heavy. there is a counterweight at the bottom of the rig that isn't nearly as heavy as your camera. there are several steadi type rigs that are built for each type of camera but not quite sure which one might be best for you.

This request was sent to me by Amazon to help answer.. Can not confirm GX7. I bought for GH3 lumix ..fits perfect for that model.

RX100 specs&quality; are better. But XF1 is best money tradeoff with brilliant EXR mode.

G5 is newer and can record 1080 at 60 progressive frames per second. GH2 can use external microphones and has manual video controls. G5 is smaller. If you are into professional videography, go for the GH2 for the manual controls and 24fps, if you want high-speed videos to slow down (bird videos?) go for the G5.

The Panasonic HC-V720 is capable of both 2D and 3D videos alike. The quality of the video is quite superb regardless of what you are recording.

With the GH3 (or any DLSR/still-type camera), you are typically limited to either prime lenses (set focal length) or manual zoom lenses. There aren't many powered zoom lenses available off the shelf. A conventional camcorder features a zoom lenses that makes it easy to smoothly zoom in and out on your subject while recording. A manual zoom makes it more difficult to zoom smoothly, giving it a choppy look during recording. Most pros advise against using too much zooming anyway. The GH3 is a killer camera for corporate video. I use it with prime and manual zoom lenses. Using the primes just means that you need to "zoom with your feet" - physically move the camera to frame your shot.

I'm not sure but I think 705 upconverts sources to 1080P, while 606 only to 1080i... if that's the case I'd go with 705...

Thanks for the opinion on the LX3, I think I'll wait for one of the these new Canons. Agree with your point on megapixels too, it's seems like 12mp is probably overkill for these small image sensors, so I expect I'll probably crank mine down to 10 or 8 to see if I get less noise. Digic 4 sounds pretty cool too, hopefully that will help.

Thanks for the good info, 80'sGuy. You mentioned 24p cinematic playback on the 3D model. I read somewhere that the G25 will be a problem for movie buffs because it does not have the 24p cinematic playback. Is this true?

Thanks for the response. I'm not really interested in the 24p aesthetic. I am interested in taking video of quarter midget race cars racing. I have a HV10 now that has two problems (as I see it). One is that it's HD format is 1080i and the other is that the HD video is compressed to the same bit rate as SD video. It looks like the native 24p mode of the HV40 could solve one of these problems. It boggles my mind that so few camcorders offer progressive recording. Nearly all the still cameras that take video do it in progressive format.

I use this card on a 7D with good results. Better to have more speed and capacity because you never know when you will need it. The 7D does great video. You will eventually use it v

It depends on what you are shooting and how much money you have. For example for sports videos you would need extreme telephoto lenses. For general purpose film making the Panasonic 14mm, 20mm and the Olympus 45mm MSC would give you very professional results. If you already have DSLR or 35mm camera lenses then look for an adapter for the GH2 mount. you will have to use manual controls but I believe it's well worth the trouble. Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot for your kind answer. I know the ZS3 looks better on the spec sheet, but here in Brazil it is absurdly expensive. 80% more than the SX200, God knows why. I am ok with the H264 because it works fine on IMovie and Vimeo. Not so sure about AVCHD, even though I know it is a more modern codec.
