Panasonic Lumix GH5 II Hands On Review, Specs and Test Footage

Panasonic Lumix GH5 II is here. We get hands on to show you the camera in details, review some test footage from it and let you know our first impressions of the Panasonic Lumix GH5 II (mark2).

Despite all the talk of the GH6, the Lumix GH5 II is easily my favourite M4/3 camera and definitley one of the best video cameras currently on the market. I've truly loved our time with the Lumix GH5 ii.

Despite all the talk of the GH6, the Lumix GH5 II is easily my favourite M4/3 camera, but what are your thoughts?

[MarkHoltze]

3:31 Helios Re-Housed spotted! I like how they called it the II and not the 6, don't ask me why, it's just how I feel. 7:56 possible Helios Rehoused footage shooting you shooting the GH6...I mean GH5 II spotted.

[BKCycles]

Big red button on the top, what we all wanted

I might’ve missed it but I think you forgot to mention that the GH5ii can use the old GH5 batteries as well as the new ones. And also you can now charge and power the camera thru USB-C.

Okay Panasonic, we see you! I’m also excited to see how this effects the price of the original. The GH4 is still a great camera, but imagine picking up a GH5 used in a couple months.

So glad you guys got a copy of this to review! I almost took a break at work just to watch this video!!!

If Panasonic or some 3rd party can make adapters that support AF in stills, I would go for it.
Sadly had to go the Fuji route since it's the only manufacturer with near native AF using EF glass via adapters.

Also, wasn't the GH5 already equipped with dual UHS-ii slots?

[Alexrocks]

Opinions on this and a few lenses vs Sony A7SIII? I already have a few Sony lenses for my main photo camera but would be missing the stabilization and DCI 4K since it only does UHD but that low light and autofocus of the Sony… I feel like it’s a really hard decision for me.

I don’t own a GH5, should I wait for the GH6 instead? Thanks for the video

Hi, thank you for sharing your very interesting video, You have a lot of experience and I would like to ask you a question x please: I only do documentaries in 4K, and as soon as I can I will go to Africa to film people with dark skin and strong sun, but not in the city, but in their villages. Would you be kind enough to tell me you would configure the GH5 MII? I mean which color profile, 25p 4: 2: 2 or 50p 4: 2: 0, etc. etc. However I use a good variable ND filter. I do the video editing myself. 1000 thanks for your advice.

Hello, I would like to ask a question, because I have a doubt: I only make videos in 4K, if I were to film with the GH5 MKII with the Leica 12-60 and use both stabilizations (internal + lens), I will lose something in image quality, than to use only one stabilizer? Thank you
