I’m not impressed with the GX8 wedding video. It is a number of factors that break it for me.
It is the combination of lack of dynamic range, excessive depth of field, over-corrected lenses and uninspired lens designs, that create the typical digital look of m43 cameras. This look does not work for weddings for me. A timeless moment as a wedding should be recorded in a cinematic style. The video is nicely shot, but for the most part, could probably also have been achieved with an iPhone on a tripod.
It looks to me like excessive sharpening throughout. I’ve never filmed with the GX8 but I do use the GX7 all the time in my productions and it can produce images far more pleasing (to me) than that. Maybe just some wonky settings?
