How I use them:

The Panasonic GH4 I mainly use for documentaries and some corporate work depending on what the client is looking for.

With the MFT sensor it's easy to keep focus even in a run & gun situation for documentaries while having amazing quality.

The Canon 60D I use for low budget narratives mainly, but also for some of the corporate work if the client only needs a HD web output. Sometimes I use it for interviews in documentary and as a B-cam as I have an amazing editor who can make it all fit together seamlessly.

What do you think of this one-man video production company kit? Please leave comments and feedback below.
