The first part is the Panasonic A500 mounted on a Saab in CT, USA; the second part is the GoPro Hero Black 4 mounted on a Fiat Barchetta in London, UK. The GoPro Hero Black 4 original clip is courtesy of PhilipBloom.net, excerpted from the out-of-camera 4K original download at vimeo.com/107415503.

The GoPro settings were 4K, Wide, Protune Flat, Medium Sharpness. The Panasonic setting was 4K.

The 4K original clips were combined using Vegas Pro 13, with saturation increased to taste for the GoPro clip, and output as XAVC S 4K.

Comment: You can see how the resolution deteriorates as the speed of the vehicle increases. Both very sharp when idling.
