Panasonic Lumix GH5 Mirrorless 4K Camera
*New for 2017* Panasonic’s flagship DC-GH5 Mirrorless 4K Micro Four Thirds Camera has just been released. This model has extreme improvements over the previous popular GH4 model that it replaces. Panasonic listened to its users and has included many of their requests, especially to the video taking community. The best new features include a brand new micro 4/3rds sensor with 20.3 megapixels and without an anti-aliasing filter for sharper images. Panasonic has added the much praised IBIS and 5 Axis Dual IS 2 Image stabilization that was seen in the GX85 and G85 models. Works even when recording 4K video. The 4K Ultra HD recording now jumps to 60p (60 frames/second) for silky smooth 4K for sports and other action scenes. For 4K you can record in UHD (3840 x2160) the same dimensions as 4K TVs, or DCI Cinematic 4K (4096×2160) the same dimensions used for Movie Theater 4K projectors. Dual card slots allow you more flexibility, such as backing up, or relay recording. The GH5 has a new OLED EVF (3,680k-dot), and higher resolution 3.2-inch LCD (1,620k-dot).

Smart-Review Commentary: The new for 2017 Panasonic Lumix GH5 is at the top of the Panasonic Mirrorless ILC camera lineup. This has many valuable upgrades to the very popular GH4 model. The new imaging sensor has higher resolution (20.3 megapixels) with higher dynamic range, and is sharper thanks to the removal of the AA filter. The biggest added feature is in body image stabilization (IBIS), which along with lens stabilization can offer 5 Axis Dual IS, allowing you to take photographs with longer handheld exposures, or blur and jitter free video. This is the first Panasonic mirrorless camera to offer 60 frames/second in 4K, great for sports and high action events. The camera is weather sealed, and can be used in freezing weather outdoors. Filmmakers: Panasonic has packed most of what the modern filmmaker would want in a 4K camera including, Cinematic & UHD 4K filming modes, flip out LCD screen, Mic and headphone jacks, Fast USB 3.0, V-Log option, XLR option, high bitrates, full size HDMI out, IBIS, wireless capability, and high framerates. You can control most GH5 camera functions, and focus remotely on your smartphone or tablet using Wifi and Panasonic’s APP. There is no additional focal length crop in 4K or FHD Video. This is a great upgrade from the GH4 model. For these reasons, the Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 has won Smart-Review’s BEST OF 2017 award for best Mirrorless cameras under $2,000.
