Panasonic Lumix GH5 vs Sony a5100

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.

Sony claims the autofocus on the 5100 is fast. It is. Out of hundreds of shots in burst mode at the show, very few missed focus. But it's the wealth o...

A GH5 or G9 is the way to go for you, in my opinion.

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!
