Pros and cons

According to our mirrorless camera expert

Je fotografeert met 30 fps in 6K en filmt met 60 fps in 4K.
Door de hoge ISO instelling kun je bij weinig licht blijven fotograferen.
Dankzij de snelle scherpstelmotor maak je scherpe opnames van actiemomenten.
The camera doesn't have an integrated flash.
A memory card isn't included.

Description

The Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 system camera is equipped with a 20.3-megapixel Digital Live MOS sensor and the Venus Engine 10 image processor. This allows you to take 6K photos at 30fps and record 4K video at 60fps. When using high ISO values in low-light conditions, noise suppression will help you take clear photos. The 5-axis image stabilization compensates the shutter speed for up to 5 stops. Thanks to the fast focus motor, you'll be able to record accurate footage, making the camera suitable for recording activity moments. The camera has 2 SD card slots and no maximum recording time, so you can keep on recording until your SD card is full.

10 bit 422
h264 and h265

After 1 year and a few months in my possession, the GH5 is still a fantastic camera in 2019. What strikes me, however, is the lack of negative reviews. That is why I try to make clear in this review what this camera cannot do.

in low light situations I find iso 3200 no longer usable, too much noise.

-no internal nd filters. autofocus is not as accurate as a canon. -v-log l does not include the package, which must be purchased separately. It calls it v log l because this is a light version of the full v log, which only works with large cameras (EVA1, Varicam) -colors in v-log l require a lot of work and expertise to get right. Learning the profession of color grading in da vinci Resolve software does not work in 1 2 3 and also not with weak graphics cards. -noise is present in the shadows when I shoot in v-log l at iso 400 (you can't go lower in v-log l). Bokeh is difficult to obtain on an MFT sensor without a speed booster. -recording in the 400mbit all intra codec requires an expensive SD card (UHS II V90) -h264 and hevc are non-professional codecs to capture. As a consumer, prosumer or poor professional you save on storage space, but this comes back like a boomerang in the editing and grading process. Prores 422 HQ can be recorded with an external atomos recorder, but it costs the same as a decent mft cine prime lens. -the menus are difficult to navigate and functions are difficult to turn on and off. Example: you take a hand-held pano with this camera but forgot to turn off the image-lock function, which can result in sudden jerks. -anamorphic filming in '6k' as panasonic describes it is actually only possible in '5k' horizontal resolution (4992 pixels I thought) But what's worse is that the chroma subsampling decreases from 4:2:2 to 4:2:0, already it remains 10-bit. operations with the hevc codec beg for modern and very powerful computers. -no XLR input for connecting or feeding professional microphones. It is possible to purchase an additional module.

no SDI out or other professional outputs.

-filming with a camera form has advantages, but also disadvantages.

Review is 10 out of 10.

Compact camera with huge possibilities

Stabilization is excellent. Together with a compatible lens you have dual IS. Then you hardly need a tripod anymore.
Fits perfectly in the hand
The 4K 60P mode is genius
Autofocus: takes a while for the camera to zoom in perfectly and sometimes the focus goes back and forth.

After using it for a while really completely happy with the purchase. The 4K 60P images are spectacular. You need a very strong PC to process the images but the images are absolutely worth it.
