Panasonic GH5 Mark ii HANDS ON:: Big day for Micro 43 - tons of announcements!

[@johnhurn3598]

how do I like this video twice? Finally someone who loves M43 I can't afford the camera but as a G7 user buying M43 lens now makes sense 👍

[@KeywordManagement]

So glad you did a GH5 Mark II review...I sold my GH5 and G9 and have been regretting it. Looking forward to picking up a Mark II or GH6 when available.

[@jeffgrischow1734]

Thanks for a balanced, informative review of the GH5ii. I was thinking of picking up a second GH5, but I might consider this one instead. Your insights are very helpful as I consider the options. I really appreciate the effort you’ve made to review the camera!

[@jumbi555]

Great Video (as usual). There are quite a number of new features that are making the GH5 M2 hard to beat at this price point. Hard to believe that the video quality could have been improved over an already impressive camera, but they did it! The ability to livestream is a total gamechanger - well done Panasonic!

[@weisserth]

The 10-25 is an amazing lens and reason enough to into MFT. Add the announced 25-50, assuming it's similarly great and a new GH6 and MFT is in great shape again (for video).

[@SirMo]

m4/3 has so many great lenses! For instance I love the new pro f/4 12-45mm. Weather sealed, optically excellent and compact. The thing is tiny, precisely for what you'd want in a rugged setup for landscape.

[@jimslens]

So much for Micro FourThirds being dead! It is such a wonderful platform with such a complete lineup of lenses... Thanks for spreading the great news.

[@pauloancarvalho]

Let’s hope GH6 gets ProRes Raw as well, and it’s going to be an instant buy for me.

[@MichaelGerrard]

Excellent video, thanks for showing the camera and menus.

[@truelifeproductions]

Great video. Love your walk trough and detail.

[@ItzSi]

I want one now lol im mostly Canon because of the AF system and lens selection but I have the GH4R lol

[@paololarocca7684]

I wonder if adding phase detection pixels on the sensor may decrease slightly the image quality on relatively small and dense sensors like this (even more so if the resolution is going to increase in the future.....)

[@ChrisRoutledge]

Olympus has been using a hybrid phase detect autofocus system since the original OMD-EM1 in 2013(?), so I'd say if that's a problem it's not insurmountable.

[@paololarocca7684]

@@ChrisRoutledge that’s right...

[@NPJensen]

That sounds amazing. As a film photographer, it would be overkill for me though. I'll stick with my Canon EOS 90D for my digital photography and video. My photography money will go towards a Leica M camera (still trying to decide if I should go with a mint M5 from 1975 or a new M7 0.85 still in stock at my favorite Leica store). If I did want to focus on video, it seems, Panasonic would be pretty much impossible to ignore.

[@castielvargastv7931]

its sad they reduced the screen size. now they use the smaller g9 screen i guess.

[@maxieq]

I recently moved over to the Fujifilm X-S10 from the Lumix G80. I think the X-S10 *is* like a G80, except with an X-T4 APS-C sensor and better autofocus. The problem with Panasonic, I think, is that they have this “not invented here” syndrome going, which is why they persist with the contrast detect autofocus. I still have my G80. Not going to part with it, because it’s such a good video camera, but I feel a bit frustrated with Panasonic. They are such a big company. They have a good design philosophy. They innovate like crazy. And then, suddenly, in key things like autofocus they become incredibly conservative. I am glad for the GH 5 II though, and look forward to learning more about the GH6. Since I'm more of a photographer than a video guy, I also look forward to a replacement for the G9.

[@PatrickDodds1]

I shoot stills. I understood about 58% of this video. Nice that m4/3 isn't dead though.

[@A1Bokeh]

🤣 I know how you feel man. I shoot video and I barely know how to use a flash

[@jlambuth]

Mft is far from dead in the video world. It's a workhorse for heavy video work.

[@hadi2868]

A beast it is❤

[@joelgermain1988]

The whole "Pay for Vlog" is really annoying.... but I needed it, so yeah... i overpaid for something that should always be activated by default

[@thewalkingvloggingman7152]

Just shoot in Manuel when using video and stop complaining about phase defect.

[@mdiz4564]

Wow! I guess you like this camera. For goodness sake please don’t do an in-depth review. Life is too short and I’ve got my 1970s hoover collection to catalog. (British sarcasm) 🤔

[@gastonroulstone5025]

Question is do I now sell my GH5 for about $1000 to upgrade or stay with it? I’ve been considering an X-T4 but feel it just not a beast like a GH.

[@castielvargastv7931]

xt4 is great for sure but xt4s tend to overheat while filming. i own a gh5 and i am happy with it but the gh52 looks good two. its cheaper now then the original gh5 when i bought it. gh6 is the camera i want but its also more expensive.

[@cbartey]

You lost me 2 minutes in.....I came here for the GH5ii not the GH6

[@TITAOSTEIN]

The GH5 is still a fantastic Camera. The new GH5 ii looks great and adds many small and important things for the usability. For those who needs to work with 2 or more Cameras (like me) is a very appealing option. I’m using the GH4 and GH5 since 2017 and I can see myself using the GH5 ii + GH6 for the next 4 years. They are affordable: GH5 ii + GH6 = ~ 4200 Euros! The Sony A1 (fantastic Camera) costs 7300 Euros!

[@TerenceKearns]

Is the stills capability of the GH5ii as good as the G9?

[@RonaldBrown59]

It looks like Panasonic has some great new camera's on the way. Thanks for sharing all this information with us. Nice video.

[@weedeeohguy]

Thank for not apologizing for or defending M43. How refreshing. Should I consider selling 12-35 and acquiring

[@stephenroberts7828]

Luv your work Ted

[@nightdonutstudio]

After listen to this, I find this mark II is pretty good. not as people said meaningless release.

[@Biosynchro]

I'm going to sell a line of t-shirts that say .jpeg, because nobody uses MS-DOS anymore.

[@ExploringWorldYouTube]

Hi, thanks to share your interesting video. I'd like to as a question important for me. I make only documentaries about daily life of the peoples. I shoot almost always in continuous AF, at 4K 50p, could you tell me how much the GH5 MarkII is it better than the GH5? Please tell me if you are satisfied with continuous AF. THANKS for your thought.

[@ggzii]

I'm a bit confused, everyone talks XT3/XT4, Sony A7 III but nobody mentions this camera, what am I missing, it seems great. Is this full frame, I'm in a tight space so need it.

[@trevorandrew8726]

It’s micro 43.

[@YamilIsaac]

What do you think about the S5 vs the GH5ii for video?

[@ahojahojish]

I very much doubt we will see a PDAF from panasonic. I think its solely a business issue. It would canibalize their other cameras, which are all DFD based and it would totally kill their sales from those cameras. Everybody would just start buying the PDAF panasonic camera. I actually think thats the reason.

[@MrNyuntshwe]

I hope you or any person could help me honestly to choose between GH5M2 and Fujifilm X-T4. I might be end up with the body and one or two not expensive lens since I'm a poor and an old man of his late 70's. Thank you every one!

[@makatron]

If you have a GH5 this makes no sense not that they announced the GH6 its coming, but as a GH4 user this sounds amazing.

[@Modiford]

MSRP of $1,699 (GH5-II) against $2,500 (GH6) is one Heck of a decision influencer!

[@makatron]

@@Modiford final pricing hasn't been announced just yet, but if you're already invested in m43 glass makes sense to get the gh6.

[@TerenceKearns]

I so want to get that lens.... Mmmmm....

[@AiurMedia]

exciting!

[@markschneider3915]

I agree, about the phase detect I have a G9 and a Panasonic Leica 100-400, I shoot(attempt to shoot) birds in flight. I end up using my little OMD Em5 MkIII, and I end up with more keepers from the Olympus every time. I do think the 2021 firmware helped a lot, and you can't beat the video features and menu system Panasonic has, even on old bodies.

[@woutschelstraete3393]

Can you check if the GH5 Mark2 is able to output HDMI and USCB while showing the image on the LCD screen? For example with the RS2 and a Ninja V or the Raveneye. Now I'm using the GH5 and as soon as I plug in the HDMI and the usbc the LCD Screen turns black. Would love to hear from you

[@shaunchapman]

It's funny how all the big YT pro photographers rely and obsess on autofocus.

[@professionalpotato4764]

Don't you want photos in focus? AF-C is a huge thing for many people.

[@thewalkingvloggingman7152]

@@professionalpotato4764 What he's saying is that MANUAL focus is what real videograhpers shoot in.

[@professionalpotato4764]

@@thewalkingvloggingman7152 I know. I'm generally a manual focus person too. But certain jobs, it can be near impossible to pull manual focus due to how unpredictable situations are. (e.g. Events). I know it can be done manually, but it takes experience. More and more people are shooting alone these days. Amateurs who owns a TikTok or YT account don't hire ACs.

[@szubal]

gosh ...I love this camera

[@frankfeng2701]

Makes more sense if it came out before S5.

[@karubemanabu4341]

GH6, Built in ND filter and RAW capable?

[@castielvargastv7931]

it will not have nd filters for sure. the gh bodies are not build for this. i guess raw will come

[@tjsinva]

Low light??

[@dennisdennis7069]

Better FF 😂

[@alriverald]

Stream but you cannot record to the card. Worthless feature.

[@johnsmalldridge6356]

Yeah no. The thing that made the GH5 great was its performance to price ratio and relatively small size. Unless their overall spec is amazing then I feel it’s only a few years before they go the way of Olympus. It’s hard to make a living in small niche market.

[@alimzazaz]

I feel like the longer they wait before going PDAF, the harder it is for them. When they finally go PDAF, first few iteration going to suck, the difference between them and other brands that have adooted PDAF is going to be bigger

[@thewalkingvloggingman7152]

Please, Panasonic has so much money, that they can do whatever they want , they have TVs, appliances, Phones, etc.. And they still have their Camcorders which has Phase Detect Auto Focus.

[@alimzazaz]

@@thewalkingvloggingman7152 that's even more surprising. Why not just pull that tech from their camcorder division?

[@SullyCortez]

What a joke…. Two years and THIS?!! Hahahahaha glad I stepped away from cameras and photography for two years just to see this ridiculous trash

[@afd1040]

The fuck , you know there are other cameras ?

[@MaximeCheminade]

Mh. Depend what you are looking for. For me its a really nice improvement on something already amazing.

[@lacalledelhorror5455]

Why are here then?

[@darthmandude]

You stepped away because of... Hardware?

[@dx3200]

Do everyone a favor and step away for good, clown.
