Re: [OM] OM-D E-M5 II video shooting [Was: Video shooting by E-M5]

[C.H.Ling]

E-M5 II with 50/60p output is much better than the 30 fps of E-M5 (it is 
30fps in 60i format). What you also need is a power zoom lens unless you 
don't planned to do any zooming or only zoom on a heavy tripod.
Fuji has lousy video, forget about it. Just download the video and see it 
yourself.

For shooting time, you won't need anything long unless shooting concert but 
you can always find a break to make a brief stop. We seldom shoot more than 
a minute per clip for travel video.
Even E-M5 II has more output options, it still lack the professional 
features like output at 0-255 (for PC) or 16-255 (for TV) and different 
tonal curves for post processing. It also has softer video output compared 
with FZ1000 and there is rolling shutter and jello effect.
