One Camera to Rule Them All?

Review Image by CKE
I will update this review as time goes on. At this point I have only experimented with the camera for several hours, but I already have enough information to form a solid foundation for a review (I have also used the GH4 for a few years). I run a small video production company, and for years I have used the GH4 for capturing high quality video. The problem is that every video shoot also requires several high quality/professional photographs. While the GH4 excelled in capturing video as a true camera it always came up short. As a result, I was always forced to lug my Nikon D750 around with me. I would travel with two cameras, and two sets of lenses. Occasionally, I would substitute the Nikon for my Fujix100T or I would substitute the GH4 for my Osmo Pro (recently it has been more of the later). What I need... want... would love .... is camera to do all of it. I guess I could invest in the FF Sony, but the idea of investing in a 3rd set of lenses doesn't exactly excite me. At some point.... either the video on the Olympus will come up... or the photo stills on the Panasonic will improve...right? Based on my tests - I think the GH5 will become my Holy Grail of cameras. I have 0% doubt that it will perform for video (and my the couple of tests I have run look very favorable), but my worry was IQ. The new 20.3MP resolution has me hopeful that the GH5 will become my one camera for all purposes. Photos - Again - I will update this as time goes on - The upgraded sensor seems to make a large difference.In the photos I attached the 1st picture was taken at ISO 400 while the rest were at ISO 1600. Frankly, I always got nervous taking my GH4 above ISO 800 the noise and grain really started to become noticeable. The GH5 looks very usable at ISO 1600 ( I need to check ISO 3200 a little closer). For full disclosure the ISO 1600 shots were taken with the Panasonic Leica f1.2 42.5mm gem of a lens. This is a good point for a tangent,. The reason why i like the MFT format (in addition to the cameras being physically smaller) there are some very excellent lenses out there. I would stack the Olymous Zuiko lenses up against the branded Nikon lenses any day of the week. In addition, ignoring the difference in focal length my Panasonic/Leica f1.2 42.5 rivals my Otus f1.4 55mm for my Nikon (plus it has vibration reduction AND autofocus - eat your heart out Sigma). These high quality lenses are smaller and cost less than their full frame rivals to boot. Now there are some poor lenses too, but if you are willing to pay a little more I have found all of the Panny/Leica and Olympus Zuiko lenses to be very, very good. Other notes - - If you shoot in RAW and use Lightroom you will have to update to 6.9. - The autofocus really is improved. It is very fast on the point. - Has the ability to do focus stacking - I haven't tried this yet - but it is a very interesting function. - Shooting manual is a breeze - I am not sure why Nikon can't copy Panasonic's focus peaking, but if they could... they should. I mentioned I owned the Otus f1.4 55mm.... that lenses would be soooooo much more useful if Nikon offered a similar type of focus peaking. - Low light performance - others may disagree, but I do think that it is better than the GH4. I have very good stills at ISO 1600. However, this might be a counter-intuitive since Panasonic is using the same sized sensor but increasing the resolution. In order for the camera to have better low light performance and higher resolution would require either significantly better algorithms and/or improvements on the actual sensor gathers the light. - Button placement and layout are still very solid. it is easy to navigate WB and ISO settings without moving your eyes (much more difficult on my Nikon D750). - No built in flash. Honestly, I can not remember the last time I used a built in flash. - The camera is not too much larger than the GH4, but it is noticeably heavier. This camera is dense, and while it still has an advantage over my full frame it's losing ground here. Video- - My early footage is excellent. The continuous autofocus is improved (although I do need to run a lot more tests on this one). I loved shooting footage with my GH4, but I usually filmed in manual focus. I never fully trusted the GH4 autofocus - it seemed to spend too much time searching. - The ability to shoot at 180 FPS (you have first select a variable frame rate to get into this menu). - Out of the box it will allow you to record 10 bit straight to SD card (I recommend the new high transfer rate cards). - Image stability - I am very excited for the improvements - but I definitely need to do a lot of testing to see how it really performs. - In short... for video the GH5 will do everything that GH4 will do, but it adds the ability to capture 10 bit footage directly to a SD card, offers weather protection, and in-body stabilization - The screen and viewfinder are excellent. Final Verdict - Again, I will have to update this review - there is MUCH still to be covered (especially for video). However, the early results are very promising and I do believe that Panasonic has made a significant improvement in IQ over the GH4. I may be naive, but I just ASSUMED it would be great for video (minor improvements in the GH4 would have helped maintain its status). The GH5 is roughly double the price of the GH4 so you will need to understand if the photo improvements and the upgrades in video are really worth it to you. For me... it is a no-brainer.... and I am optimistic that for now on I will be carrying just one camera with me! 5 Stars ... show more

Love this beast! Amazing Versatile! Loaded with features!
Style: Body Only Set: Base
The LUMIX GH5 is a dream come true! Panasonic has hit a huge home run with this camera! Cinema 4K recording at 24fps internally! 4K at 60fps 8bit 150mps internally! 400mps with update coming soon! 180fps in full 1080 FHD internally! The slow motion on this camera is buttery smooth! The size and grip is fantastic! What it's raining out? No problem this camera with the Leica 12-60mm lens is water resistant! It's also free resistant for shooting in low temperatures! Battery life is way better than the Sony's but not as good as the GH4 with how fast this camera processes it uses more juice. So be sure to pick up some spare batteries. Dual memory cards that can be hot swapped so you can continue constant recording with no overheating! Very grainless recording up to 1600 ISO. With additional purchase you can shoot in VlogL with a dynamic range of 12 stops when shooting at a native ISO of 400. Internal audio level meters, very good mic for this size of camera onboard. Zebras, focus assist, waveform and vector scope meters are all onboard. There are many customizable buttons and the view finder flips out, up, down and forward toward the lens is super bright and clear and also a touchscreen! The menus are very easy to navigate and well thought out! There is now 5 axis image stabilization on the sensor and if you are using a lens like the Leica 12-60mm it has power IOS. So you get two levels of stabilization working together. What does that mean? That means you can walk and record rock steady video! There has been a lot of controversy over the autofocus but I have found if you put it on either face detect or single point and press the shutter half way down to get it to lock on first it works very well. All in all this is an amazing camera for the price! For all the features and how well this works in the field I'd be happy if I spent twice the price! Go create something amazing! ... show more

A True Workhorse — Reliable, Durable, and Built for Professionals
Style: Body Only Set: Base
Review Image by Jason Brereton
I’ve been using the Panasonic LUMIX GH5 since 2019, and it’s easily one of the best investments I’ve ever made for video production. I’ve traveled all over the Caribbean with it and filmed hundreds of projects, from documentaries to church services and events, and it’s never once let me down. The image quality is outstanding — sharp 4K footage, great color science, and the ability to shoot 4:2:2 10-bit video makes it perfect for professional work. The in-body stabilization (5-axis Dual I.S. 2.0) is a lifesaver for handheld shots, and the full-size HDMI output is great for external monitors and recording setups. What stands out most is its durability. It’s been through heat, humidity, travel, and long shoot days, and it still performs like new. The battery life is solid, the menu system is intuitive, and the autofocus, while not perfect, gets the job done once you know how to work with it. Even in 2025, this camera continues to deliver cinematic results that hold up against much newer models. The GH5 is truly a legendary camera — dependable, rugged, and capable of producing beautiful images year after year. ... show more

Professional Videographer - Love this camera
Style: Body Only Set: Base
This camera is a powerhouse for the price. Full disclosure, my first camera was a Panasonic SD camcorder back in 2005, then switched to a Canon Pro camcorder in 2009, then jumped on the Panasonic train again with the GH3 and was using them until I picked up the GH5. The image is amazing, but that's not news. What is news - and hopefully will not be overlooked - is how much this camera is amazing to use. Custom buttons. Focus peaking (so amazing when shooting at f1.4 to f0.95 when you're changing focus during a shot). Image stabilization (I shot my last wedding 90% handheld with non IS lenses and the footage is gorgeous.) This camera fixes all the frustrations I had with the GH3 (which really were lack of stabilization and lack of focus peaking) and upgrades the image amazingly. With weddings I typically don't even mess with 400mbps, I usually go 150mbps 60p or 24p depending on if I want to slow it down or not, and it's phenomenal. Coming from the GH3 and Camcorders - the GH5's low light makes me so happy. It isn't legendary compared to other cameras - so I've heard. But I briefly owned an A6500 and used it in low light situations and it fell apart worse than the GH5 does in similar circumstances. (wedding receptions I'm lookin' at you). For commercial work I'll crank up the bit rate and color depth and it's awesome. This is such a fun camera to use. I love the freedom I had with camcorders to hand-hold and not be tethered to a tripod or monopod for long periods. I still use those tools as I need to, but not always needing them allows me to be much faster and much less conspicuous at weddings (people think I'm a photographer and don't worry about what they're doing as much). The stabilization is better than the A6500's as well. I took that to comic-con last year and didn't love the IBIS. All to say, as a professional in the wedding and web commercial industries, this is a powerhouse of a camera. Pair it with either a speedbooster and fast glass, or voigtlander 0.95 primes and you're set to create beautiful imagery without the camera getting in the way. (No overheating or other issues that competitors deal with). ... show more

Camera is awesome but BUYER BEWARE!!!
Style: Body Only Set: Base
Love this camera. The stabilization has changed the way I film weddings. It's a thing of beauty to use a 70-200mm lens on a monopod for wedding toasts. The dual card slots is great to have. As one card runs out it switches to the next. I haven't played with the variable frame rate for slow mo video or the 4:2:2 but this is the most excited I've been to get a camera since I first got my GH1 all the years back. So how can I rate this so high with my title? Well my warning is not a defect of the camera but rather the sellers on Amazon. You see I ordered four Gh5's through Amazon. It explicitly states the USA version. The problem was of those four that I ordered only one was the USA version. The other's were the UK, Canada and Australia. Normally I couldn't care less. They are basically the same camera except for one big difference. If you look at your manual the non us versions state that the warranty is only valid in those other countries. Basically meaning those versions have no warranty in the U.S. Once again, love the camera but CHECK YOUR MANUAL! Look on the second page of the manual for what country your camera is intended for or in the manual contents for what region the limited warranty is good for. Based on my experience you have a pretty good shot of getting a non-US version with absolutely no warranty and if you don't check now you might not realize this until it's too late. ... show more

Love it
Style: Body Only Set: Base
I'm no professional by any means, and also never used any previous Panasonic cameras. This caught my attention as it seems to be the smallest and cheapest thing to do amazing 4k 60 video. The fact that it also doubles as an excellent still photo camera really helped justify the price as I can effectively sell my Canon camcorder and old DSLR. Been playing with the GH5 for about two weeks now and it seems to do everything I'd like out of a camcorder and DSLR, in fact it easily outperforms them both. No longer do I have to decide if I want to record video, or take still photos, can do either or both with amazing results. This camera has a lot of features, and has well more auto focus features than I am use to. I like the flexibility of the auto focus settings, seems very precise when you want it to be. Pairing this with the new Leica 12-60mm lens I seem to have spoiled myself. Panasonic has made a great camera here. ... show more
