Fair enough, I assumed that because you have GH-series cameras your use is video because that's where they excel. They are perfectly fine stills cameras, but they aren't een the best stills cameras within the MFT ecosystem.
A Panasonic full frame camera is interesting in the context of video. But for stills, I'm not sure I'd want to invest in an unproven system that has one of the most obscure lens mounts in the industry. Even if it can be adapted, autofocus performance is unlikely to be good—just look at the Sony cameras for evidence there.
- eropple 8y agoThat makes sense. The other option I'm considering is actually getting into Sony, as most of their mirrorless cameras can sub into my video workflow with no huge loss and I really like the feel and the results when I've borrowed even lower-end ones from friends.
- sjwright 8y agoThe Sony A7 Mark III is an astonishingly good camera. If I was buying today it's probably what I'd get. The only sticking point is glass: Sony make some great stuff but it can be eye-wateringly expensive. I wish Sigma and Tamron would release their EF- and F-mount full frame lenses with Sony E-Mount and native autofocus performance. Or at least provide a first-party mount adapter that achieves the same.
- eropple 8y agoYeah, the A7III is definitely on my short list. I could spring for the A7R III, but that just seems...excessive? And as likely as not to show off even slightly imperfect glass.
