FINALLY Getting a New Camera! - Panasonic Lumix GH5 Unboxing

I've been overdue for a camera upgrade for a really long time now. But I finally decided to go for it, and purchased a Panasonic Lumix GH5. I'm really excited for this camera and the upgrade in quality that you'll be seeing in future videos!

Just dropinn here to say, that I love the new "vlog" style intro. You could do that often.

[drjmansplace]

Word of advice. Keep the mic sock. You'll need it in outdoor windy conditions.

slice of life from Michael is the most perfect video i could've asked for

The GH5 is an absolute beast - enjoy it!
Word of advice though, make sure you’ve got the latest firmware on your camera body and lens! Panasonic added quite a few bits and bobs in some of the firmware upgrades

I have also been overdue for a camera upgrade for several years. You see, my main camera, the Canon PowerShot ELPH 100 HS, has been working well for me since I received it for Christmas in 2011, but it only records mono audio, and it cannot be zoomed in and out when recording video footage. I plan to upgrade to a 4K camera that records stereo audio and zooms in and out when shooting video footage sometime this year. Good video of this Panasonic camera!

Happy to see the upgrade, Michael! You deserve it. Your videos are awesome, cheers!

Great Camera you have there. Enjoy using it. I my self have the Lumix G9 with VLOG Unlocked.
Oh and btw. I loved the Intro. 👍

HAHAHA!!! I love the Druaga1 inspired video intro. Good to see that you reference other youtubers!!!

Gotta admit, your phone’s video quality is so much better than the old camera! Did you use it for any other videos, in low light etc? It seems like it would have been good as a short term replacement while you were weighing up your mirrorless options.

Pretty sweet bundle too. The mic and the light impress me the most, and having a second battery would also be useful for location shoots. The rest reminds me of trade show freebies, besides the SD card, but I can see the value in having a little case for all your cards (again especially on location) and the other things could come in handy now and then.

And, finally and predictably, the quality from the GH5 blows your phone out the water just as your phone did to the old camera. There’s just no replacement for having a larger sensor, as impressive as computational photography in phones has gotten. (And I wouldn’t be surprised if camera manufacturers begin bringing over those techniques, or possibly already have done so, to bring the performance of a larger lens even higher.)

Will you be editing and uploading in 4K now? Can your computer handle that? I could imagine the granular shutter speed control could be helpful for recording older screens, I know that’s why LGR uses it over other cameras with more limited round-number presets. In some regard I would have been interested to see your take on the Blackmagic option, but I can fully understand going with a tried-and-tested option just as you did for your mic. Guaranteed no fuss that way.

Video clarity definitely better. Focus response is a lot faster, detail is cleaner.

Audio not so much. Timbre sounds off, and a little muddy. Might just be an adjustment??

I've used both Panasonic GH and Sony Alpha mirrorless and they're both amazing, specially for Youtube Creation, just a tip, since those cameras make video files with more information per frame, take advantage and do manual color correction with scopes, it really makes a difference

[jamiecullen]

Who else would love a vlog from Michael 😅

[xlzxqlol]

for some reason i like this kind of michael mjd ngl

[alphaarchive]

Oh god, a 1400$ camera. That's an absolutely madness.

Good video.

[MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I love the GH5. I have a Sony A7iii, but I always reach for the GH5 for video. It’s a damn joy to use. And that micro has surprisingly great audio if you boom it close.

[InteractiveDNA]

GH5 is the best camera to buy in 2021. I highly recommend a 24hz timer remote for super fast focus.

[eyeprops]

Great choice... so if you ever get your hands on the 4k Blackmagic the Panasonic lenses will work.

[Alexifeu]

Boah that's expensive af :o
Nice upgrade ^^

[imjustsomeguy]

Wow so nice! Wish I have a camera like that. Are you going to shoot in V-LOG and do post-processing and color grading?
