Panasonic LUMIX GH5 4K Mirrorless Camera with Lecia VARIO-Elmarit 12-60mm F2.8-4.0 Lens (DC-GH5LK)

Product Information

Stills can be shot in raw format for those who want maximum post-production control, but even its fresh-from-camera JPEG images look engaging and lively. The GH5 II comes with a range of Photo Style picture profiles (the effects of which can also be applied to videos), including Standard, Vivid, Flat, Monochrome and V-Log L, and you can create up to four custom preset profiles if you want more control. In addition to that, there are 22 filters to add instant character to photos. Video performance and quality For videographers, the GH5S specs are sensational, though it’s only when you drill down into the technical details that the difference between this and regular cameras that shoot 4K video start to become apparent. The GH5's feature set moves on suitably far from its predecessor that the company says the GH4 will remain in its lineup as a lower-cost option for users who don't need the additional capability that the GH5 brings. Panasonic puts the GH5 II's sensor on a 5-axis stabilization (IBIS) system, beneficial for both still imaging and video. It's a common feature among mirrorless cameras—most competitors have IBIS, including the Fujifilm X-T4 and Olympus' Micro Four Thirds cameras, the E-M1X and E-M1 Mark III.

Opinions about Panasonic's DFD AF system are highly polarized, however, perhaps because it depends so much on your style of shooting. If you rely heavily on face/body/eye EF, you might find the GH5 II better than the original GH5 but still not in the same league as rival cameras with phase AF. If you focus manually or like to select your own AF point, however – and you can do this while filming – you might wonder why everyone's complaining. The main issue is likely to be if you're trying to film yourself and move around the frame, where you can't even see how the camera is focusing, let alone try to correct it. In addition to the expanded video spec, the GH5 II also gains the video tools Panasonic has developed for its more recent models, including a red frame around the screen while recording, a wider choice of aspect ratio guides and the ability to shoot portrait orientation video.Streaming quality is limited to a maximum of 1080p/60fps, but will automatically adapt to its connection. Our Facebook stream downgraded the resolution to 720p, for instance – but the connection remained solid, running with a 15-second or so delay. There's a similarly subtle change to the viewfinder. It's still a 3.68M dot OLED display and is mounted behind the same optics, so still offers 0.76X magnification. However, the increased speed of the camera allows it to be refreshed at up to 120Hz, for a smoother, more responsive view. Menus and displays Video Speed Class 60 or higher is required for ALL-Intra 400Mbps recording. Use of SD Memory Card with Video Speed Class 60 or higher is recommended for 4K ALL-Intra video recording. Best Lenses for Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 Micro Four Thirds Mirrorless Camera.

The GH5 II is the first time that a GH model hasn't represented a major push forward for video in stills/video ILCs, but that responsibility instead falls to the promised GH6. The GH5 II's role is to provide an updated version of the GH5 at a competitive price, and it does so extremely well.
