Like its predecessor the GH4, there's no doubt the Panasonic GH5 is oriented toward videographers, but there's still plenty to like about the camera for stills use. In spite of the increase in pixel count to 20-MPix, noise remains at the same level as the...
Abstract: Panasonic Lumix GH-5 is the new top model from Panasonic. It is a robust camera with good image quality for photographers and especially extensive capabilities for videographers. That makes GH5 one of the best hybrid cameras on the market. There is so muc...

New 20MP sensor gives increase in resolution without increase in noise, Highly impressive video specifications (4:2:2 10bit color, 4K/60p), Full sensor 4K capture with oversampling gives great detail, Big, high resolution viewfinder, Waveform and vectorsc
On the larger end of the Micro Four Thirds spectrum, JPEG sharpening improved over GH4, but still has room for improvement, Viewfinder resolution drops noticeably during high speed bursts, Necessity for AF tracking to be 'cancelled' gets in the way of sho
The Panasonic GH5 is a camera oriented at videographers, and includes features often found on more expensive pro video gear. It captures video at up to 4K/60p resolution, including 4:2:2 10-bit color up to 4K/30p, and has useful tools like waveforms and b...
Abstract: Panasonic teased us for months after first announcing the GH5 at Photokina 2016. Out of the few details they released within the announcement, they would only confirm that this camera would shoot 10-bit 4:2:2 internally in both 24 and 30 frames per second...
The Panasonic Lumix GH4 proved to be a runaway success when it was released back in 2014, so Panasonic certainly had a tough act to follow with the new GH5. They've evidently spent the three intervening years hard at work, as the GH5 represents a big...
10Bit 4:2:2 DCI 4K, No additional crop when shooting in 4K, Long battery life
Menu is not organized well, Low Light Performance
The Panasonic Lumix GH5 is a feature rich camera. It shoots 10-bit 4:2:2 DCI 4K video and doesn't need a lens with image stabilization to get a steady shot. Overall the GH5 is a good value and well worth considering.RECOMMENDED USERS:Documentarians & Indi...

The Lumix GH5 is Panasonic's flagship camera, aimed at demanding photographers and video professionals. The GH5 is based around a new 20 Megapixel sensor that's stabilized within the body, there's twin SD slots, quicker focusing, bursts are faster at 9fps...
Abstract: If you look at the Panasonic GH5 at the front, you'll see what looks like a big, beefy camera. Indeed, it really is. There are few controls here with the exception of the lens release. But you can spot things like a PC Sync port and one of the exposure di...
Abstract: Panasonic's flagship ILC is getting a complete overhaul for 2017. Sharing only shutter speeds / life span, ISO range, and moving recording formats with the outgoing GH4, the Lumix DMC-GH5 is entirely new.A 20.3MP Digital Live MOS sensor pairs with the Ven...
20MP sensor; Better per-pixel sharpness; Very good, slightly improved dynamic range and high ISOs; Stellar 4K video up to 60p with no crop; 6K Photo; Dual UHS-II SD slots; Good battery life for its class,
Buffer is deep, but slow to clear; Expensive; Menus still confusing; No optical low-pass filter means greater risk of moire; No built-in flash,
