Panasonic Lumix GH5 vs Panasonic Lumix S5

But for us, where does this fit in the video camera world? And i mean the only real drawback to it. I can see is if you need good, continuous autofocu...

Lumix S5 hands down for video. I own it and is great. \+ Great low light performance, great dynamic range, great 4k image quality, full-frame and APC mode, DCI mode, shutter angle, anamorphic options, 5.9k external to NV, V-log, decent kit lens

Almost perfect, the best 4K color depth video camera (prosumer) BUT for the autofocus problems in keeping the main subject in focus. Firmware update to support 4:2:2 in 10bit color is slow and unavailable as of August 2017. Recommend gimble stabilizer even with a LUMIX IS lens.

I wanted to keep this camera and tried so many ways but in the end the independent AF made it unusable for my purpose. PROS: Excellent image quality even at low bitrate 180 fps in 1080p, 30fps @ 4k full frame & 60fps @ super 35 Magical image stabilization Great ergonomics, far superior to the a7siii Beautiful noise at high ISO because you can nearly turn noise reduction off, much more usable at low light than the A7Siii, the king itself! CONS: The autofocus almost never works and when it does it loses face on a whim making it unusable in gimbal situation. The mount doesn't hold the lenses in place steadily: there is side to side play on all the lenses pointing at tolerance fault.

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.

If you want a mirrorless camera, I think the lens selection makes this the one to buy. I know the complaint with l-mount cameras has been that the lenses aren't there. In 2021, that's no longer a factor. On top of that, the fact that this has first party support from Sigma means that there are fantastic, fully supported lenses for this camera at half the price of what you get from Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Fuji

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

Sony a7c is the lightest full frame with stabilisation - lumix s5 and canon r6 have great stabilisation but are much larger.

This is an amazing little package that can give cameras 4 times more expensive a run for their money. The Lumix DC-GH5 is blurring the lines between prosumer and professional with features like 4k at 60p, 10-bit 4:2:2 recorded internally, plus many more. Future firmware updates will blur those lines even further with a 400Mbp/s bit rate codec! This is an exciting camera that will give you stunning photos and videos (admittedly more on the video side). A must own for the aspiring photographer/filmmaker on a budget

I absolutely LOVE the S5. Full frame sensor, 10 bit color, great image stabilization and the kit lens (20-60 f3.5 to 5.6) is actually really good
