New Panasonic GH5 Official

[Dan Gunn]

OK guys, lets stop this crap!!!

If you read something that is objectionable just ignore it and move on!!!

Get back on point.

We where back on point, it would be more interesting to hear what your thoughts are about the GH5.

[Dan Gunn]

I will buy one just for video. I had a GH3. I cut it's HD video with HD video from a Sony EX1 on Edius 8.0.

I was surprised at the quality. I have seen many reviews and awesome videos on the GH5 and there are only a few negatives.

Since I was happy with the GH3, I know I will be happy with the GH5! Now I am selling equipment to raise the cash.

That dpreview video showed several shots with jittery footage, as if the stabilisation was completely turned off.

I downloaded the 305,253 KB 4K DPReview file from YouTube. Right off the bat the 24p stutter as the camera pans across the Seattle skyline was irritating, distracting, most annoying, and then the short (not short enough) documentary on whisky making I found somewhat boring. No doubt there will soon be loads of GH5 footage posted here and there and, as usual, most will be highly manipulated in post to reflect the taste (and the lack thereof) of the uploader. I shall wait patiently until well shot footage directly out of the camera untouched and not re-compressed appears on the scene and most likely it will be footage shot and uploaded by Mark Rosenzweig who has kindly provided such well shot footage using new gear in the past.

I have no doubt the GH5 will be a keeper even as we are rapidly reaching the point where new cams that shoot excellent footage are a dime a dozen (no doubt much to the chagrin of the manufacturers and the retailers).

Whatever, bring on 4K 60p!

Neither videos impressed me all that much. Though I'm inclined to feel it's the filmmakers rather than the camera. Whoever thought it wise you do a fast pan with 24p should hang their head in shame. I liked the grading in the 2nd video and some of the shots. The Whiskey one was badly shot but I understand they only got their hands on the camera on the drive down, so some allowances have to be made I suppose. Still it showed off how clean some of the high ISO shots can be. Looking forward to some better quality videos shot with the GH5.

I pre ordered the GH5 when I learnt the specs etc... for me it looks fantastic in a small package and will give Sony a run on its line. This is the start I reckon just like the 5D was.... and it will change again down the line sometime.

I found some hit and miss GH5 videos online however, most looks good and a great place to start from I reckon.

Amazing how many cameras appear to be out there & being used with the beta firmware.

Unfortunately AF tracking at 1:16 was a fail.

The color was a bit all over the place in that Desert Tango video.

I think it was more a case of the bright sunlight hitting the subjects at different angles, with great effect. But whatever, a very well put together piece
