Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 Mirrorless Digital Camera

"an outstanding .. platform for Shooters who demand some of the best"

Not Guns… Mirrorless Camera(s) from Panasonic..

" Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera from Panasonic
provides an outstanding imaging platform for shooters
who demand some of the best video and still photography
quality they can get in a single compact camera.

At the heart of the camera is a 20.3MP Digital Live MOS sensor

and a newly developed Venus Engine processor, which both offer
dramatically improved processing times over its predecessor.

This enables the ability to record 4K video at up to 60 fps,

10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording with select settings,
Full HD video at up to 180 fps, 12 fps continuous shooting, &
sensitivities up to ISO 25600. Also, the camera features
built-in 5-axis sensor stabilization, which can work with
certain lenses to activate Dual I.S. 2 for
highly effective shake correction that can compensate for
up to 5 stops of shutter speed.

Other improvements include a speedier and more accurate

Advanced DFD autofocus system that can lock on in just 0.05 sec,
as well as 6K PHOTO at 30 fps and 4K PHOTO at up to 60 fps."

The rest is, eg, here:

…or, better, at Panasonic's web site

(Camera Body… with Microphone Kit [but No Lens]
so maybe you can make Audio-only Podcast with it): ~$US 1,500

Worth it…? Dunno… Panasonic is my fav Camera
brand, but I've only dabbled with "pocket-sized"
models, with GPS, so far… Maybe ask a Pro. :~)

    Friend, whats your use case? That determines whether its a good camera for you.

  • It depends what you're using it for.

    A family member and I run a small video production business and we use 2 x GH5S and 1 x GH5 for our videos and they're perfect. So if you're doing video they're great, for photos there is probably better out there.

    For example I use an older Panasonic GX8 which takes better quality photos than the GH5.
