Intreview with Yu Yanogawa from Panasonic

Kitamura had a chat with Yu Yanogawa from Panasonic. Here are a couple of statements:

Recently, the style of filming in video production has changed due to the influence of social conditions and changes in the way client companies think about creativity. In particular, the style of “one-man operation,” in other words, where one person handles multiple tasks from pre-production to filming and editing, is on the rise. The
GH series has been developed with an awareness of contributing to such creators.

In comparison with full-frame, it has two advantages.
The first is mobility due to the small size and light weight of the entire system, and the second refers to the time expression during high-speed shooting due to the high speed of the image sensor.

Compared to the popular full-frame cameras these days, Micro Four Thirds may at first glance appear to be at a disadvantage in terms of image sensor size, but we believe there are still many situations where it can still demonstrate its advantages and be used effectively, and we will continue to promote Micro Four Thirds in the future. With the GH7, we have been able to create a product that we can proudly call the masterpiece of the GH series. We hope you will pick it up and experience its high performance and depth. Please look forward to Micro Four Thirds in the future.
