The Panasonic GH5 is NOW a Perfect Camera!

[@TheEverydayDad]

Quick update since there are a lot of comments about the autofocus. I will not keep using the continuous autofocus. Its better then it used to be, but if you need a camera with rock solid autofocus I continue to not recommend the GH5. It has PLENTY of ways around needing continuous autofocus but if you have to have it I recommend something like the 90d or a6400.

[@AliexFolgueira]

You found your next purchase, a second GH5!! 😁

[@jbmi5342]

I use a gimbal a lot as I film dancers! Would it work?

[@eggy1711]

How do you feel about the G9 update it got ver 2.0 which gave it most of the GH5 4K 10bit recording and HDMI output. For people leaning more towards photography but also want good video.

[@gregorsnell]

Any lens recommendations...?

[@adosq]

@@jbmi5342 depends... for fast change of camera view (composition, lots of movements) I recommend the A7III. But I shoot with GH5 + Viltrox and Sigma 18-35mm dancers on square to my clip and it works well. I just keep the same distance and focusing manually :D . In room conditions the AF works well. A7III is great in combination with gimbal (I am using it with Weebill), but for handheld, and doing some my focusing changes(slow focusing form far subject to nearby etc) i prefer GH5. I like it more - better body, better stabilization etc. And you also can shoot the dancers with any camera, GH5 can do it well too.

[@yoginwidhi6676]

Its getting better but not rock steady. So far only Sony has nailed it as the perfect autofocus camera, i think

[@dougzauha]

Did it to me again! I bought my G85 after watching one of your videos, and now I just bought the GH5 based upon this video...okay, this and a few other KZbinrs...but it really was because of you. I have been contemplating this purchase for some time. You and the 2.6 firmware update pushed me to make the purchase. Can't wait to get it all set up and take the skills to the next level. Thanks for what you do...even though it hurts my bank account.

[@followtheboat]

Great vid, but then I am biased. One tip: assign the forward-facing function button to AF Lock mode. Then you shoot in manual focus and simply tap the function button to lock the focus. It's faster than AF, I use it all the time and I never lose a frame. The hugely customisable function buttons is (yet) another reason to stick with the GH5, although with the recent firmware update the G9 is a hot contender now too. It's great to see Panasonic continue to maintain 'old' models with firmware updates rather than bringing out new models every year (I'm looking at you, Sony).

[@venturasurfing]

You did a really good job creating this video. Your enthusiasm shows very clearly and it is genuine. That doesn't always come through in a vlog. I especially liked your yawning at what the GH5 has already done since 2017. GREAT JOB!!! I am a nothing, nobody on KZbin, but if you tried to take my GH5, there would be an epic battle and you would lose...

I was planning to buy this for my Semi Pro work making Promotional videos for real estate and architectural projects. Seems from the video itself that this camera is aimed as a consumer level Vlogging camera ! As if Vlogging really needs more than a GoPro Hero 7 Black. And this Vlogging camera has touted bells and whistles like DCI 4K and HDR etc ? Just to entice the customers with buzz words so that the average consumer feels good that he's vlogging using a camera with all these 'pro' sounding features.

It's nice to hear someone else singing the praises of the GH5! I've been using my GH5 for over 2 years for professional music instructional video, photo shoots, live event videos, promotional videos for small businesses and my own YT vids. And I still enjoy using it every day. I haven't found the 2.6 continuous AF to be all that trust worthy, but all the other great features are a lot more important to me. And I agree, it's amazing that the GH5 isn't a more popular camera for online creators. Keep up the great work!

[@KallusGarnet]

The gh4 is dead but the autofocus is ok on the R version

[@VGMLucifier]

Another reason why I probably should snag one! I’m more of a photographer than a videographer (still like your vids for a reference!), but with these video stats, ease of access, and AF claiming to be less of an issue than prior to the upgrade, the GH5 seems to give Panasonic’s flagship MFT some more vigor in 2020. As of now maybe my intended audience for videos would be Instagram, like food videos or perhaps train/plane spotting. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea for me to purchase *both* the Panasonic LUMIX G85 **and** GX85 (both inc. 2 kit lenses) for Black Friday, but I still have my eyes set on the GH5 one day if/when I’d want to work on improving my vid work. 👀 PS: Kudos for you for the 100K! Here’s hoping to see your KZbin plaque soon. 🥈🏆

[@TheEverydayDad]

Thanks so much! Yeah I’m a big fan of panasonic cameras for both stills and video, here’s hoping they release an updated GH camera soon 👍

[@philipbloom]

so i did the update and....well it seems better it really isn't something I could ever really use. it still hunts and still takes its time to react and that's with high sensitivity. I know why Panasonic isn't using phase detection. I wish they could. If the S1H had PDAF I would snap it up. Sadly my GH5 still won't be used much, I was hoping for much more after watching your video. Oh well...back to my A7Riv and GFX100 ;)

[@TheEverydayDad]

Yeah I totally agree, I’ll continue using manual focus on the GH5 and if I need good autofocus I’ll have to rely on my Sony camera. I really wish Panasonic would stop being so stubborn and would include phase detection. Heck now that they are out of the sensor making business hopefully they’ll buy sensors with it.

[@IWriteDrama]

Watching the light in the kitchen/dining room pulsing like a dying raver light made me realize that Panasonic's AF will almost always have that glitch. Not because they want us to have the glitch, but Panasonic just doesn't seem to know how to make DFD work as perfectly as Canon's DPAF (which will still, occasionally, hunt). It's hard to improve over the GH5. Once I got one in my hands, I realized just from playing around with it there wasn't much use for too many other cameras. In fact, I've gone full MFT as of today. The other cameras will be sent to their new owners. I know the GH5 can take a nice still, but I do have the G9 as well, so I've literally got both covered... plus with the G9 upgrade that came out the same day as the GH5 upgrade.... we're talking a seriously powerful camera that rightfully takes its place a half step down from the GH5 and probably slightly above the GH5s (even though, IMHO, the color science on the GH5s is better attuned). That was also a great pic of you and Wonder Wife! It's also amazing to see you pushing towards 100K subs. I wasn't a TEDD early adopter, but I did come in, I think, just a split second before your rise went from a leisurely Sunday drive to racing down the interstate to beat the rush hour traffic. We're all very proud of you, good sir.

[@mariush]

@@TheEverydayDad For certain scenarios I think the auto focus update is acceptable, but if you're doing a talking head and not moving, manual is the best way to go. But I think I'd trust the autofocus now. Maybe.

[@PrimeInChina]

Realistically it is a hardware difference, not a software difference. GH5 uses contrast detection for AF. Most cameras with really good AF use phase detect, and of course, both at the same time. It isn't something you can really "fix". It is just something you can hope to improve the contrast detection of. But contrast detection is limited in all companies, not just Panasonic. This is why hybrid autofocus systems are so common now.

[@stuCameraman1]

Hey the background lamp wobble is NOT a glitch! It's the nature of ALL lenses that are in Auto focus mode and the camera is continously making slight adjustments to the lens. If you don't want that focus wobble the shoot in Manual focus!

[@justoalejandrogonzalez5097]

The 4k 60 are external and the limit to record in 4k 30.

Not to mention, not even Sony, Canon, Fuji, or Olympus comes even close to what the GH5 is capable of. And anyone that thinks those other cameras are close, are clearly not doing the kind of video production a GH5 user most likely is, at least not at the less than $3000 price point. So, in short, No. The G9 is not even at the dinner table, let alone cannibalizing the GH5. It might however, be feeding off the scraps that fall from the table, but it’s mostly messy kinds stuff."

[@justoalejandrogonzalez5097]

@@heartshapedfilms Well... a serious answer? "Though maybe not at this price point." is an understatement. The 1Dx2 is 5.5k on amazon. With that you can have literally FOUR GH5 and spare a couple hundred bucks on chocolate =). The 1DX it twice the weight of the GH5, the 1DX doesn't go up to 180fps, or 4k 60p, the gh5 has: timelapse mode, articulated screen, focus bracketing, focus stacking, 225 focus point, smartphone remote control, 4k crop feature, etc, etc, etc. Yes, 1DX is better in some things, mostly related to the bigger sensor and the battery last longer (partly the reason for such ridiculous weight). ALL OF THAT, and I didn't even mentioned the image stabilization which is one the one thing at which panasonic is, hands down, the best on the market. The 1DX doesn't even have it. The S1H is 3.9k on amazon, so, again, you can buy 3 GH5. So... again, you will have literally a bit better quality (if you want to put DoF and Bokeh in the "quality" tab, which is not actually correct at all) and low light capabilities for 3 o 4 times the price. About ergonomics, I didn't had one in my hand, so... but the GH5 is SUPER ergonomic. I've had used it for 10 or more hours straight, without having issues at all. About the vlog, again, is 100USD of difference and the S1/H are 3 times the price, so... About the small sensor, yes. It has it's limitation. It's just that paying 3 more times for the little difference? as is stated in the video, if my requests to a camera are 90% met with the GH5, I don't need anything else and for the price difference, I'm fully done. Just buy the GH5 with a 3.3k lens (which will be a top of the line wichever brand you choose) or, you can buy just the body of the 1DX MKII (I'll give you a FREE kit lens -when actually no lens is free- as part of the hypotethical situation) and let me know the results. =) Now seriously, I'm not sure where are you from, but in my country, you have to spend 5k to buy a USED 1dx mkII, which is equivalent to a one year worth of a regular salary. Unless you are making a ton of money, buy that is unthinkable and yes, I undertand that Canon made the camera thinking in richer countries, but that's not the reality of most of the world, so with that, you can see all my reason for not choosing at all one of those cameras over the gh5, which, as I said, met 90 or perhaps 95% of my request from a camera =)

@@TheEverydayDad also true. But not many people use it anyways from what I've seen, so that's minor imo... but it is a advantage of the gh5, that's clear

you’re like a doug demuro for cameras

[@cgfw201]

I love it. I upgraded from a G80 which whilst having same sensor size and loads of other stuff, feels light years away in terms of performance. The GH5 can do just about everything. Really impressed.

[@Viguileras]

the autofocus looks good, how about the g9? they also updated it and lowered the price to 1000$

[@TheEverydayDad]

I think they included the update to the G9 as well, but I'm not 100%. The G9 would be a great camera to get too, I used to have one way back in the day.

[@Viguileras]

@@TheEverydayDad Yes, the update was even bigger for the g9, they added a lot of things besides fixing the autofocus, it would be great if you could try the update of this one too

[@artjohnson01]

Except for the recording time limit, the G9 now has everything the GH5 that counts, plus better (6.5 stops) stabilization. It’s a better stills camera, and now matches the GH5 for video. It does have a time limit, but honestly, I had a G7 for a year and a half. I recorded exclusively video, and never had an issue with the time limit. I was recently unable to record a boring hour long lecture with my G9...too bad. SO, for my money the G9 is BETTER than the GH5 and less expensive, too.

[@OzavoguAbdul]

How come no one is talking about the lowlight? Still bad bad?

[@goshtic9565]

Yup, probably very bad since it's not mentioned. I feel that if you're doing a review on these kind of product, a check list of thing(s) that the viewer wants to know should be covered and checked off as you make your videos.

[@bestvideos4ever1]

oh yeah, lowlight is so important, lets focus on that entire PHOTOGRAPH industry to make it better, right?

[@the_black_douglas9041]

Yeah but you turn some lights on or get faster lenses, like the Mitakon 25 f/0.95 or the Kamlan 50 f/1.1, etc. etc. Or a speed booster and fast EF glass, like the Canon 50 f/1.4. And then you don’t have to put up with the rubbish IS and rolling shutter on all SONYs and Canons.

[@goshtic9565]

@@the_black_douglas9041 turning lights on doesnt fix the issue if you want a scene to be recorded in lowlight, because it's night time or of you want to do a horror skid.

Every M43 camera sucks in low light. That happens when you have a tiny sensor, its like physics and stuff.

Absolutely amazing review! I've been hovering between the GH5 and the sony A7iii and you helped me choose the gh5! :)

[@markattardo]

I made up my mind a while back to switch to micro 4/3 when the time is right for me. It's nice to see Panasonic supporting older cameras (not sure about the other companies). I'm leaning towards the G9 because it's skewed towards photography although the GH5 is tempting me now😂 The update seems to have made a difference even though the lamp was saying it's not locked. With good screen presence in a video that is not reviewing the camera, I would say the lamp is irrelevant and the camera works fine. 👍

[@TheEverydayDad]

That update makes the g9 look like an absolute monster of a camera. I’m considering getting one 😳

[@youknowwho9247]

Problem with all these is the outdated MFT sensor format, which comes with substantially worse image quality than aps-c and full frame for stills.

[@markattardo]

@@youknowwho9247 I hear ya. Full frame would be awesome but I have physical issues that would make it a paperweight at times. M4/3 is a compromise that should fit my needs.

[@youknowwho9247]

@@markattardo Oh man, sorry to hear. Medical issues are definitely a good reason to go as light as possible. MFT should fit the bill for you. All the best for your photography. Sidenote: Maybe look at the new Sony APS-C lineup, too. They have some amazingly small and light stuff too.

[@markattardo]

@@youknowwho9247 Lenses are a big part of it. I love shooting birds but ended up selling my 18-400 because I couldn't comfortably carry and use it. I will look into Sony too, thanks for the suggestion!👍

The Everyday Dad like better all round? Or for certain things? I’ve had the gh5 for a minute and couldn’t get over how photos look. I would take an xt3 for photo over gh5 photo any day just as much as I’d take gh5 video over xt3 video any day.

The GH5s has a smaller si ze sensor than APS-C but due to it's los pixelcount and bigger pixelpitch the low light performance is close to Sony's Full Frame A7III.

Joris Maas you are absolutely deluded. Micro four thirds was chosen for everything except image quality. You will NOT BEAT a full frame sensor or even come close to it. Stop talking to me you deranged fanboy

Good job on the review. I have the A6400 but have to use it with a dummy battery to avoid it from overheating. I avoided the GH5 due to the AF issues, but NOW it looks like the GH5 is indeed the perfect camera! Love the flip out LCD and the fact that it can record 4K forever without overheating
