The GH5 is a brilliant, feature-rich camera, which judged alone for its stills capability would fare exceptionally well. The quality is outstanding, from sharpness to dynamic range, and vibrancy in the colours is excellent. The addition of internal 4:2:2...

Abstract: I've just upgraded to a Panasonic GH5 with a Metabones Speedbooster XL 0.64X for my main filming camera, so I thought it'd be a good idea to take a spin at camera reviews. Let's see how it performs!GH5 Body: prourls.co/3QpV Speedbooster: prourls.co/yOM6 -...
4K/60p video without time limits, Fast, quiet performance, 5-axis image stabilization, Post focus, focus stacking, and 30-fps bursts (4K photo mode), Rugged design with excellent control scheme
Area AF mode not as quick in video mode, Smaller sensor than competing mirrorless cameras
If you are looking for a camera that shoots Hollywood-caliber blockbusters during the week but can still handle your kid's soccer game on the weekend, then the Panasonic GH5 is hard to beat. It is likely the best mirrorless camera on the market right now...
Abstract: The Panasonic DC-GH5 focuses all the brand's know-how in both photo and video. The body is well balanced, weather resistant and has an excellent electronic viewfinder. With a 20.3 million pixel Four Thirds sensor it delivers good picture quality up to ISO...
While the last couple of GH-series cameras have felt a little like video cameras masquerading as stills camera, the Panasonic Lumix GH5 is a much more rounded piece of kit.The video specification and capabilities offered are still impressive – this is cer...

When it comes to pro 4K video capture there's little else to compare, great stills camera too, abundant autofocus options and capability (including 6K Photo), great EVF and LCD
Sony A99 II gives high-end users a lot to consider, some autofocus slip-ups (bright lighting, in particular, causes issues), chunky for a mirrorless camera
The camera world has been moving at a slow pace over the last couple of years, with only small gains to be made. If you were to compare the GH5's image quality to the earlier GH4, for example, then the gains aren't that significant.But that's besides the...
Class-leading 4K video capabilities, Superb high-resolution EVF, Excellent handling and operability, Impressive resolution from 20.3MP sensor
Noise at higher sensitivities, Prone to underexposing high-contrast scenes, Large and heavy by Micro Four Thirds standards
Panasonics GH range has long catered for those with a particular interest in video and the GH5 continues this trend. That said, its still image capabilities have also seen big improvements over the GH4.The jump in resolution to 20.3MP along with the remo...

6K Photo, 30fps at 18MP, Large and bright viewfinder, Wealth of video features, Weather, sealed body
Larger size might put off some, Menu order different from GH4
Packed with a wealth of video features, the GH5 also looks to be one very capable stills camera, offering blistering burst-shooting options, advanced AF and a rugged, weather-sealed body...
