Ive recently switched to lumix and got the gh5 and a 25mm f1.7 its an absolute beast of a camera 🤙🏼

My first camera body in 40 years; bought used w/2 batteries, V-log and a cage for $650 Sept 2022. Threw the 25mm MFT lens in the toilet and have been adapting amazing, fast, affordable vintage glass ever since. Prolly looking at picking up another for back up...keep this party rollin"! And you're right on with this review, thank you.

I just picked up a GH5 body in perfect condition for $440 😳

Thinking about upgrading to this camera. I am a huge Panasonic fan all the way back to miniDV 24p!

Bought my first G9 (it's basically almost the same camera) a year ago. Instantly fell in love with it. The video quality, the ergonomics, weather sealing, MFT lens size and used market availability. Sure AF is kinda weak but I can work around that, can't beat it for the price. Sold my G9 in summer, regretted it ever since. Now switched back from S5 to G9 and I feel complete again. I mainly shoot video and wildlife, travel photos. The best camera I've ever had.

It’s a very beautiful YouTube channel. Keep up the good work!

The GH5 is a great video camera except for the autofocus. If you're skilled at manual focus in video, and you will always be available to operate the camera manually, then have at it. You will love it!

But if you film yourself or you want a camera you can just set up and walk away from (which is what I want since I might be operating a second camera), this is not the camera for you.

Your GH5 still looks new! I have mine peeled on the grip already haha.

I was lookin at the OG g9 but this is it for video!!! 10 bit!!!! I'm sold. Yes ik the g9 does 10 bit, but the price difference is grabbing me

People think buying new camera make them better filmmakers... I am already cured from that spiral of thinking and now I know that GH5 is all I need + more. I prefer spend more money for lighting, lenses etc. Only thing I hate about GH5 is a big lag on HDMI port. It's hard to monitor focus when you shot dynamic action and preview on ext. monitor.

i recently picked up the GH5 (with V-Log L included), for £360. It's the best bang for the buck all round hybrid camera, even in 2024. And believe it or not, it is stickier in auto focus than the G9 II which I bought and sold.I can't ask for more.

I am a gh5 owner and i love my camera but i purchased a gh7 recently as well. Gh7 is better in almost any way. This means i dont use my gh5 anymore even tough i still love it and quality is still great. If you are on a budged gh5 is atill good but if you can, get gh7 .the improved dynamic range alone is worth it, not to mention the autofocus

My first video shooter was a Lumix G70 and I acquired some good lenses in the past few years. Made finally the jump th the GH5 now because I found an excellent deal on a used GH5 for just 430€ (with the vlog upgrade included).. which honestly is nothing for such a great tool.

[SimplicityForGood]

now in mid 023, how do you feel about camera choices... coming form a GH3... is it still worth it to go over to Gh5S or are there other cameras you think one should consider now, like gh6 or Sigma FP, or Black Magic P4K...etc? thanks for sharing what you think is worth considering in 2023! hope to hear from people that tested these cameras and can say what pros could be to choose one of these over the others in 2023 and forward

I own the GH5II since it was released. The only 2 this I miss is the Dual Native ISO from the GH5S and Internal ND's. I think those should be elementary for a heavy video centric camera

[RobertJeeVideography-wzho]

Hey. I have owned my Panasonic GH5 from new for about 3 years. I mainly use it to make short movies. My latest short film, 'An Impossible Secret' which I didn't write by the way, I was the assistant producer, director and cinematographer has so far won 11 film awards, and we are still waiting to hear more from film festivals. So yes, the Panasonic GH5 is definitely a go for camera. 😃🙌

11: 6K open gate recording. I have two GH5s, one GH5 ii, and one GH6. I shoot live theatre, concerts, and dance shows.

[RonaldBrown]

I still have my GH5 and I no need to upgrade. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[sumpfi]

I totally agree with you, although the autofocus and low-light performance really suck :/
