Took this one on New Year's Eve. The GH2 and Fotodiox adaptor still had the new car smell and I used an old Pentax M50 F1.7 in the dark cold night. This was shot at ISO3200 - not bad for a small(er) sensor....
I've shot extensively with the K-x - it's a very very good camera at its pricepoint. But if I had to choose between the K-x and the GH2 for the kind of shooting that I'd do, I think that I might choose the GH2 while it lags behind in still images by a hair, it's much better for video. It would be very close though.
Had this shot been taken with the K-x, it might have been marginally better in terms of noise, with in-body IS permitting a shot at ISO1600 perhaps. Then again, unless you used the rare and expensive and very very good FA31, you'd lose a stop even when using the DA35/F2.8 vs. the Panasonic 20/F1.7.
In either case, look past the noise. This was New Year's, midnight. Dark. And still an evocative photo...
Nice shot, spoilt by noise.
ReplyDeleteI've been interested in the GH2, but for all its brilliance, it still fails to tempt me away from my K-x.
