  • Lotta bang for the buck

    Like all cameras, the GH5 has it's flaws, but overall it's an excellent camera - especially at it's price. I use it almost exclusively for video. The picture quality is excellent and well above it's predesesor (the GH4). Strengths: really good built-in image stabilization that becomes even better with Panasonic lenses that also have stabilization, 4k at 60fps, decent in low-light when coupled with an f/2.8 or better lens, long battery life, no video time limit, dual card slots, solid. Weaknesses: not so great auto focus (Panasonic has improved this but it's still not the greatest - be sure to set sensitivity to low), image stabilization eats batteries faster than the GH4, but they still last fairly long (aprox. 120-150 minutes). I don't recommend using auto exposure or Intelligent Auto mode for video during daylight filming. It will fluctuate from overexposed to underexposed even when the camera is stationary and there's little movement on screen. This doesn't seem to be a problem in low-light, however.

  • Lumix GH5

    Despite it's midrange pixel count, the Lumix GH5, a pro camera, is exactly what I was looking for and probably great for 90% of pro and high end amateurs. This is my 4th Lumix mirrorless camera, and It is amazing how much tech and improvements are in each new model. Many, I don't use, but it's good to know that Panasonic is on the cutting edge of technology. Also, with video specs that rival many standalone video cameras, this is the best of both worlds. With the latest 4/3rds sensor, both videos and stills are sharp and accurate. In camera stabilization, along with a number of lenses that have built in stabilization, you can hand hold low light shots like never before. Also many lenses have legendary Leica glass. I'm extremely happy with the decision to fork over nearly 2 grand. If you are a serious photographer, you will find that this is in the lower end of the pro cameras.

  • A very good idea.

    My first Lumix (G2) was plastic and is still working great but the photo and video quality had not kept up with the times. In contrast, the GH5 is a totally upscale product. Current new and used prices make the camera an excellent camera for anyone moving up but there's a catch. For the occasional, point and shoot, or shooter that doesn't want to read manuals the camera can be a "handfull". The GH5 is a machine engineered to record video and stills; as such it is not entirely user-friendly. If you will be using it every day or so great but if not, you may want to stick with a camera with simple controls and Program functions that take the guesswork out of your picture-taking. I certainly wouldn't suggest you use the camera on any project without first working with it and checking the performance on your application. To buy or not to buy? At the price, and with the features, my thought is you can't go wrong with the Panasonic As for the MFT vs. full-frame argument, the photo business has changed. Look beyond the brand name, sensor size, and decide what you'll be doing with the images or video FIRST - this should be the defining factor of what lens(s), body, and additional equipment you need (in that order). The GH5 will do more than the average shooter demands. I've been using Nikon equipment since the 70s and I wasn't sure switching to a Panasonic, known for TVs and VCRs was a good idea. For me, it was a very good idea.

  • GH5 Beast of A Camera

    You can watch all the YouTube reviews you want and find people that will rip this camera for not having the best auto focus system on the market, but this is a beast of a camera for the price point. The video quality and 60fps 4K is almost unmatched. Dual IBIS, weatherproofing, and dual card slots make this camera an all around winner. Oh, and the images are great too. Will you get the same creamy bokeh as you will with a full-frame? In some cases yes. If you need ONE camera that can do it all this is the one.

  • Still Micro 4/3rd lens king

    So far the GH5 is better than expected. Good clean crisp image, awesome features and format choices, such as: no record limit, dual card slots, full size HDMI out. and 20 Megapixel sensor. One area that I'm disappointed in, is that it doesn't have a built in flash like the GH4, but the aforementioned features, help to make up for this. Overall, despite the GH4 and GH5 coming out several years ago, they are still incredible still photography and filmmaking tools.

  • Micro Four Thirds ergonomic champ

    I've been a amateur mirrorless camera shooter ever since they first came out and have owned 6 different Panasonic, Olympus, and Sony models. I primarily used them with legacy lenses for still photography, but I purchased the GH-5 in order to concentrate on video for awhile. I've only had it for a 3 or 4 weeks, but can give some initial impressions. This is a big camera, much bigger than my Sony a7ii full-frame, but it is perfect for my big hands. Ergonomically, it is the best camera I have ever owned. It has 10 programmable function buttons that are nicely spaced out and easy to identify while your eye is at the viewfinder. It also has two programmable control wheels, a joystick, and a dial control, so you can set this beast up exactly how you want it for very quick operation, no matter what type of shooting you are doing. Then you can save those settings in 5 different configuration memories. The viewfinder is the best I've seen and a big improvement over the a7ii's, which I never liked. The fully-articulating touch screen is also a big deal from a functional standpoint, especially for video. Manual focus legacy lens shooters will like this camera. It's very easy to assign the focal length to ensure proper stablization; and focus peaking and the ability to rapidly move the magnified focus box around the screen with the joystick makes getting an exact focus very easy. It has a 30-fps 6K still photo mode (6000 x 3375 pixel images) for action capture. One of the few things about this camera that I don't like is a bit of shutter lag in this mode that forces you to anticipate when to shoot. It doesn't seem to affect the single shot modes. Another thing I don't like is that the jpegs seem a little soft. The RAW files, on the other hand, are excellent and require very little editing. It's odd because other than the softness, the jpegs and RAWs look very similar ... much more so than any other camera I've owned. I suspect that Panasonic does some very nice default processing on the RAWs. Battery life is good, but not great, so buy a couple extra batteries. I've had good luck with Wasabi batteries. They function as well as OEM and maintain their performance for at least the 2.5 years or so that I keep a particular model. The camera has a lot of modes that use internal processing for things such as post-focus, focus stacking, and multi-shot sharpness and noise reduction. I haven't tried them all, but what I've seen so far is impressive. The shot of the Christmas lights below, which is straight out of the camera, was hand-held using the Intelligence-auto mode. It automatically took a burst of about 5-shots to produce this jpeg. Looks pretty good to me. That's about all I can say about the GH-5 at this point. I'll be posting shots to my Flickr photostream in an album dedicated to the GH5. If you like to check out my images, Google "Rick Bolin". My photostream will be among the first few hits.

  • Perfect Do Everything Camera

    I just LOVE this camera. 3 years later and it's still a dream to work with. There are other cameras out there that have a little more dynamic range, a little more pleasing image. There are dedicated video cameras that have ND filters and native XLR in. But when I look at the whole package, with medium/large sensor and a camera that does good stills and fantastic video, all the options that it has in video modes including 10 bit and full open gate 6K, plus the amazing image stabilization, this camera is just the perfect do everything camera.

  • GH5 Shines in Pro Video Shoots

    Love this camera. Amazing GH5 from Panasonic has incredible image quality and perfect for professional video shoots. Love the manual options and waveforms when recording. Tons more features than most Canon at similar pricepoint. Love the lens too.

  • Great Upgrade

    A major all-around improvement over the gh4. The lightly increased weight and size makes for a much better fit in the hand and feels more solid. image quality and low-light is much improved. The auto-focus has always worked better at 30 and 60fps. I tracked a raccoon on rocks at night and it kept focus. It's not perfect but gets it done.

  • GH5 is a great camera!

    I’m coming from a Canon 5D Mark 3 and making the leap to micro 4/3 with a metabones XL EF to 4/3 speed booster. So I get to continue using great Canon and Zeiss glass I also get an extra stop of light. Plus using a Atomos Ninja V to record HMDI out.
