I still really don't see the new cameras being so much better than the GH5. Sure the Z9 is great but it cost $6, 000 for the body, thousands for the lenses and the both the body and lenses are huge. As someone who is getting into hiking and more outdoor travel the weight savings of micro four thirds is huge. Lenses like the 15mm F1.7 that weight only 140 grams is a game changer, a pro quality lens with a fast aperture that weighs basically nothing. I can fit my GH5s with that lens in a small fanny pack while hiking.

I'll be keeping my GH5. My goal is to best that I can be with the equipment that I have. I'll move on once I've mastered my GH5 and accessories.

The GH5 is still my main camera and I bought the Lumix S5 a couple of weeks ago!

In some aspects the GH5 is still much better than the S5!

For example: unlimited recording time, no crop in 50p, 400mbps internal recording, better ergonomics, better IBIS, cheaper lenses and the list goes on..

I think that a good camera is the one that you're comfortable with using and that's certainly the GH5 for me! I'm in the headspace that there's so much more that I need to improve before I need to improve my gear.

Thanks for another great video! Just subbed, don't know why I haven't before. I've seen alot of your videos 😅

I just bought GH5 in 2021, December for the first time. Still learning it, coming from CANON EOS 700D and SONY A6000. I felt the DR, Low Light, and Focus is a bit worse than Sony A6000. However, the colors, ibis & image quality is super notch. Overall I’m liking this camera. 👍🏼

Just wait 1-2 months and the GH6 will be here...don´t panic and change to Fuji now - after you have waited all these months already - maybe the GH6 will be way better. For photo you could consider the G9 or an Olympus M1 :-) I shoot video with the GH4/GH5 and photos with my good old rocksolid DSLR Nikon D7100. I have considered changing to Sony A7-series several times, but now I will wait and see what the GH6 can do. It´s on its way and will be here in just a few months...if it does not live up to all the expectations I will maybe consider going for another system - but I will keep my GH4 and GH5 anyway.

[TheVoiceOfUnreasonableReason]

I do agree with your take on the stills side …I guess I’m a die hard LUMIX user so whatever photo capabilities the GH5 lacked - for me in my workflow and scenarios - the G9 filled the void for me, I’ve also been super privileged to have the incredible Leica lineup of Panasonic m4/3 lenses - and in that instance I wouldn’t want to move to another platform…I was a Canon shooter for 18 years and the Panasonic m4/3 platform literally helped me diversify in my career as an Indy creator.

GH5 is my BFF, the video is everything, but low light can be frustrating - but one way around that, was buying a prime lens with 1.7 aperture which helps at night.

GH 5 is still an amazing camera, I shoot on just about everything and STILL five years later come back to the GH5 for video work especially at the price point. I agree it's a bit weak on the photo side and if you're willing to make sacrifices on the video side there are better offerings out there that are still great video cams with much better photo options. For my personal cam I actually went over to a Panasonic S5 which is basically a smaller newer GH5 but with a full frame sensor and much better photo chops. Pro to this is it has all the things I love about the GH5, con is that it takes bigger heavier lenses that are on a new system so they're hard to buy used. I feel like the S5 really was panasonics answer to people asking for the GH6 initially, but because of the different lens system it wasn't met with the same fanfare so now they're circling back around to the gh6. But yes I agree GH5 still well worth it in 2022, I think it might be a little over priced these days tho, but that price will come down a bit when the gh6 hits.

GH6 will be uncovered - Feb 22/2022. I was close to switching to the XT4 for video but I really didn't like the ergonomics, weak ibis, no unlimited recording and no video assist tools. Pros and cons to both. Fuji color is nice though but I'd wait for the XH2.

[keithnisbet]

I agree with much of what you say. I’m a G9 user and in good light get some incredible photos. I’m mainly a stills shooter though. Build quality on G9 is second to none. Freeze proof even. Everything is solid, strong doors no flimsy flaps and full size HDMI (heat that Fuji XT4?). So I’m waiting to see GH6 and if there’s not enough advancement I’ll look at the upcoming Fuji XH2.
Both brands are great build and feature packed PLUS reasonably priced. Take care.

[JozzieProductions]

I've been a fanboy of canon for a long time.. the autofocus makes life so easy. But.. as you know canon seems to just not care about either the photographer or the videographer. They seem to hold out on many things we want, now I'm looking elsewhere the the GH5 mark 2 but also Fuji.. really don't know where to go but 4k 60fps is a main for me.

[janniskoppatsch]

funny that you are posting this video now because I am planning to buy the GH5 in a few days maybe also your Masterclass :) keep up with the good videos

[mikeyoungmedia]

The biggest difference I see between the gh5 and other cameras. I already own a gh5 and it's paid off

[TITAOSTEIN]

I will wait for the GH6… the Video capabilities will be amazing, I’m sure. I love to work with the GH Cameras and would be difficult to live without the amazing IBIS, the easy setup and Menu. Fuji is great but Not so great as the GH6 will be.

[dfotos]

I am very satisfied with my GH5. The only thing I would like to see improved is the autofocus. Otherwise, it provides wonderful video material.
I really hope Panasonic's camera division survives. And I hope that the GH6 will be released soon. Not because I need them fast. But so that MFT has a future.

[AndrewChapmanMusic]

I used the Fuji system for my channel exclusively for the past two years... They're amazing. One downside is that the battery life is abysmal, and the recording limits are no fun... but you're completely right about the colors and the photo abilities. The lumix looks like 5% better on video, even the 1080 looks better, but for stills it's no contest.

[AnimatedLoopHD]

Can't beat the price for a 4K video. Definitely tempted to pick this one up.

[OfficialNerdSingh]

I totally agree. Still killing it with the gh5 I have 2 and still recommend and buy it for our chairity. But honestly need gh6 to step up with photo and autofocus. So let's see. So invested with lenses now...Sony with overheating in long recordings and very expensive to invest in feel a bit stuck

[BootStrapTurnerVideography]

Great video, love seeing these each and every year. However, I laugh when someone says if the newer GH6 isn't released, might change to another camera. That's EAD (equipment acquisition disorder) type talk. Granted, Atomos Ninja V added to my rig, but I've yet heard a compelling reason to move beyond ProRes HQ 4K 60P 10-bit 422 with a great manual focus (can still press that AF button in MF to lock focus on a subject, absolutely no pulsing of any kind). Never had a need beyond 6K when Anamorphic so 8K or 12K doesn't impress me much and actually concerns me for storage costs.

[danieldougan]

I have been debating whether to upgrade my G85 to a GH5. I can't justify it right now because I rarely even use my G85 since it's a secondary camera to my OM-D E-M1 Mark II.

The GH5 has so many useful features for professional videographers (which I am not). Even though I'm perfectly happy with the video quality I get out of my existing cameras, the GH5 offers extra things like an XLR adapter, a headphone jack (unlike my G85), unlimited recording (unlike my E-M1 Mark II), dual UHS-II SD card slots, 4K 60 fps, 1080p 180 fps, and all of the assist tools like waveforms and vectorscopes. And, of course, it can shoot 4K in 10-bit 4:2:2 internally, something my cameras can't even do with an external recorder.
