Panasonic Lumix GH5: Hands-On First Look

At CES 2017, Panasonic have announced their new flagship Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera, the new Lumix GH5.

We had the opportunity to visit Panasonic before the camera's launch to get a first look with the camera and get really hands on with it.

With 4K video recording in broadcast quality 4:2:2 10-bit, all-new 6K PHOTO, and 5-axis in-camera image stabilisation, the Panasonic GH5 is a professional quality camera for videographers, filmmakers, cinematographer and still photographers alike.

Of all the video that came up today about the GH5, I must say that your video is probably the best. Thanks.

Beautiful! And I don't mean the camera. I just love her accent too.

[NHPork]

Do we have any sense of the still image quality--specifically the low light RAW file latitude; I'm trying to see how the stills will stack up to a Fuji X-T2

[eliebedran]

Just curious on your thoughts of the new 12-60 panasonic lens, would you put that glass on par with the Panasonic 42.5?

[mimotan]

Great news! In 6K photo mode...can you use the video file by itself? or you just can take some frames?

[pawwclipprojects]

When is dispatched to preorder costumers?

[richpeacock]

Maybe put a website link to Park Cameras in the description? Otherwise — good job.

Can I ask a (probably) dumb question please. In the video Amy says that the advantage is that you don't have to record to or carry a Ninja - I thought the Ninja only recorded in 1080p and not 4k?

[actionimagesphotography]

Can you pull stills from 4K video, other than the 4K picture mode?

[LifeinDigitalFilms]

Any improvements when it comes to low light? I know it's M43 but I figured I would ask. Thanks!

[DessieTots]

Where's them Mitchell brothers eh? Haow does it perform in the Queen Vic?

[RusstafaB]

Paul, if you are in the London shop come in preorder mine tomorrow, thanks Russ

So two things:

1. Once you've done a burst of 6k Photo's do you have choose to save any of the photos in camera immediately after taking them or could you import them into your pc and look through the footage then?

2. With continuous recording; does that mean you'd end up with one massive f***ing gigabyte file? I kind of appreciated that it separated the video file into separate files of about 8mins each.

any major upgrade in battery life in gh5? it would help professionals to carry lesser batteries on field. thanks

[mimotan]

Can you shoot 24p in 6k Photo Mode? Cause I've just seen some footage, VLC reports it as 10bit 4:2:0, and i think there is a real deal to shoot 4:3 6K with anamorphic...of course if it can shoot 24fps. Otherwise, it's useless.

[itteshadhossain]

All the features for video are amazing, but anyone else excited about 180fps at full HD? That's insane for a camera under 2000

[callan]

At the 1:15 mark, I like how she says "A whole BUNCH recording time with that."

[arokorol]

This is not only a television but also a cinema camera.

[gearieb]

How much time before the buffer is full at 6K 30fps and 4k 60fps in
