The professional grade Panasonic Lumix 4K Digital Camera DC GH5K offers over 28 Lumix and LEICA compact lens options built on the next generation interchangeable lens camera (ILC) standard (Micro Four Thirds) pioneered by Panasonic. With a durable, magnesium alloy body that’s splash/dust/freeze proof, the mirrorless design enables a lighter, more compact camera body that can go anywhere you can. The marriage of an advanced Digital Live MOS sensor with the beautiful new Venus Engine 10 produces extraordinary color detail and natural texture expression. Cutting edge features include 4K 60p (4:2:0 8 bit) and 30p (4:2:2 10 bit) in camera cinematic video, 5Ghz Wi Fi + Bluetooth for fast connection and image transfer, lightning fast DFD focusing, 5 axis dual I.S 2.0 stabilization and exposure technologies not possible with traditional DSLRs. With the exclusive Lumix 4K Photo (8MP, 30/60 fps) and brand new 6K PHOTO mode (~18MP, 30 fps), simply pause that perfect moment from video to produce printable high resolution photos. A high resolution 21mm, 0.76x OLED eye viewfinder (3680K dot) matches up to exactly how you intended to see the image even under direct sunlight. For connectivity convenience, the GH5 includes a full size (Type A) HDMI terminal with cable lock, twin SD Card slots (UHS II U3 compatible), 3.5mm microphone & headphone terminals and optional DMW XLR1 microphone adaptor. Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac 5GHz Wi Fi is not available in some countries.

Review: One Camera to Rule Them All? - I will update this review as time goes on. At this point I have only experimented with the camera for several hours, but I already have enough information to form a solid foundation for a review (I have also used the GH4 for a few years). I run a small video production company, and for years I have used the GH4 for capturing high quality video. The problem is that every video shoot also requires several high quality/professional photographs. While the GH4 excelled in capturing video as a true camera it always came up short. As a result, I was always forced to lug my Nikon D750 around with me. I would travel with two cameras, and two sets of lenses. Occasionally, I would substitute the Nikon for my Fujix100T or I would substitute the GH4 for my Osmo Pro (recently it has been more of the later). What I need... want... would love .... is camera to do all of it. I guess I could invest in the FF Sony, but the idea of investing in a 3rd set of lenses doesn't exactly excite me. At some point.... either the video on the Olympus will come up... or the photo stills on the Panasonic will improve...right? Based on my tests - I think the GH5 will become my Holy Grail of cameras. I have 0% doubt that it will perform for video (and my the couple of tests I have run look very favorable), but my worry was IQ. The new 20.3MP resolution has me hopeful that the GH5 will become my one camera for all purposes. Photos - Again - I will update this as time goes on - The upgraded sensor seems to make a large difference.In the photos I attached the 1st picture was taken at ISO 400 while the rest were at ISO 1600. Frankly, I always got nervous taking my GH4 above ISO 800 the noise and grain really started to become noticeable. The GH5 looks very usable at ISO 1600 ( I need to check ISO 3200 a little closer). For full disclosure the ISO 1600 shots were taken with the Panasonic Leica f1.2 42.5mm gem of a lens. This is a good point for a tangent,. The reason why i like the MFT format (in addition to the cameras being physically smaller) there are some very excellent lenses out there. I would stack the Olymous Zuiko lenses up against the branded Nikon lenses any day of the week. In addition, ignoring the difference in focal length my Panasonic/Leica f1.2 42.5 rivals my Otus f1.4 55mm for my Nikon (plus it has vibration reduction AND autofocus - eat your heart out Sigma). These high quality lenses are smaller and cost less than their full frame rivals to boot. Now there are some poor lenses too, but if you are willing to pay a little more I have found all of the Panny/Leica and Olympus Zuiko lenses to be very, very good. Other notes - - If you shoot in RAW and use Lightroom you will have to update to 6.9. - The autofocus really is improved. It is very fast on the point. - Has the ability to do focus stacking - I haven't tried this yet - but it is a very interesting function. - Shooting manual is a breeze - I am not sure why Nikon can't copy Panasonic's focus peaking, but if they could... they should. I mentioned I owned the Otus f1.4 55mm.... that lenses would be soooooo much more useful if Nikon offered a similar type of focus peaking. - Low light performance - others may disagree, but I do think that it is better than the GH4. I have very good stills at ISO 1600. However, this might be a counter-intuitive since Panasonic is using the same sized sensor but increasing the resolution. In order for the camera to have better low light performance and higher resolution would require either significantly better algorithms and/or improvements on the actual sensor gathers the light. - Button placement and layout are still very solid. it is easy to navigate WB and ISO settings without moving your eyes (much more difficult on my Nikon D750). - No built in flash. Honestly, I can not remember the last time I used a built in flash. - The camera is not too much larger than the GH4, but it is noticeably heavier. This camera is dense, and while it still has an advantage over my full frame it's losing ground here. Video- - My early footage is excellent. The continuous autofocus is improved (although I do need to run a lot more tests on this one). I loved shooting footage with my GH4, but I usually filmed in manual focus. I never fully trusted the GH4 autofocus - it seemed to spend too much time searching. - The ability to shoot at 180 FPS (you have first select a variable frame rate to get into this menu). - Out of the box it will allow you to record 10 bit straight to SD card (I recommend the new high transfer rate cards). - Image stability - I am very excited for the improvements - but I definitely need to do a lot of testing to see how it really performs. - In short... for video the GH5 will do everything that GH4 will do, but it adds the ability to capture 10 bit footage directly to a SD card, offers weather protection, and in-body stabilization - The screen and viewfinder are excellent. Final Verdict - Again, I will have to update this review - there is MUCH still to be covered (especially for video). However, the early results are very promising and I do believe that Panasonic has made a significant improvement in IQ over the GH4. I may be naive, but I just ASSUMED it would be great for video (minor improvements in the GH4 would have helped maintain its status). The GH5 is roughly double the price of the GH4 so you will need to understand if the photo improvements and the upgrades in video are really worth it to you. For me... it is a no-brainer.... and I am optimistic that for now on I will be carrying just one camera with me! 5 Stars
Review: A True Workhorse — Reliable, Durable, and Built for Professionals - I’ve been using the Panasonic LUMIX GH5 since 2019, and it’s easily one of the best investments I’ve ever made for video production. I’ve traveled all over the Caribbean with it and filmed hundreds of projects, from documentaries to church services and events, and it’s never once let me down. The image quality is outstanding — sharp 4K footage, great color science, and the ability to shoot 4:2:2 10-bit video makes it perfect for professional work. The in-body stabilization (5-axis Dual I.S. 2.0) is a lifesaver for handheld shots, and the full-size HDMI output is great for external monitors and recording setups. What stands out most is its durability. It’s been through heat, humidity, travel, and long shoot days, and it still performs like new. The battery life is solid, the menu system is intuitive, and the autofocus, while not perfect, gets the job done once you know how to work with it. Even in 2025, this camera continues to deliver cinematic results that hold up against much newer models. The GH5 is truly a legendary camera — dependable, rugged, and capable of producing beautiful images year after year.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can u shoot video in a raw format?**
A: The GH5 does not record RAW video, but 4:2:2 10bit internally & using the VLOG-L picture profile can get you a similar dynamic range. You can also output to an external recorder, like a Ninja, Assassin or Odyssey to record in Apple Prores to get similar flexibility as RAW video. Every other amazing feature makes up for the fact that it does not shoot in RAW. Voted the best indie filmmaking camera of 2017.

**Q: I'm new to shooting with dslr & need a recommended lens for the gh5.  range is <$1000.  what's your go-to lens for most of everything?**
A: I will be using the Olympus F2.8, 12-40mm lens, I really like this lens because it covers wide to telephoto, since its a zoom lens. Another really great aspect is that it has a constant 2.8 aperture, meaning that if you use it at 40mm or at 12mm the amount of light coming through the lens is the same. Lastly what is important to me is that since micro four thirds cameras are half the sensor to the standard 35mm sensor, the larger the aperture the more shallow depth of field is possible (which is really the downfall of a smaller sensor)...... Another possibility is the Panasonic 12-60mm f2.8-4 which is what this camera is being marketed with, and is a good option but in another way. The Panasonic comes with image stabilization that is suppose to pair well with the Panasonic GH5 bodys in camera stabilization which is a plus, but at the same time it's not a constant aperture. This means that when you zoom in, the light coming in through your lens will decrease, which is truly annoying especially for video work. But another plus is that its zooming capabilities extend to 60mm, or 120mm compared to a 35mm sensor, and this is an extremely versatile range to have available. Overall they both have some pros and some cons, but the Olympus might be cheaper especially if its used since its its been out a couple of years, and the Panasonic is just now being released. Hope this helps.

**Q: I've had my gh5 since it came out, the only problem i have is that it overheats. and i'm wondering why, do i have a defective camera?**
A: Yes.  Definitely something is wrong.  I have run mine for literally 3 hours non-stop recording drag racing with the cameras (I have 3 Gh5s) on tripods in the sun.  I have never had one overheat after several hundred hours accumulated over the years.  The only thing I have had happened is the sun shining on the screen got it so hot it turned black, but comes right back if you flip the screen so its in the shade

**Q: I'm getting a green light on my charger when i insert my exhausted battery. is this normal? or do i need to exchange my charger?**
A: Green light means it is charging, when the light turns off, it is charged. Not a very intuitive design.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Professional Videographer - Love this camera
*by B***T on November 8, 2017*

This camera is a powerhouse for the price. Full disclosure, my first camera was a Panasonic SD camcorder back in 2005, then switched to a Canon Pro camcorder in 2009, then jumped on the Panasonic train again with the GH3 and was using them until I picked up the GH5. The image is amazing, but that's not news. What is news - and hopefully will not be overlooked - is how much this camera is amazing to use. Custom buttons. Focus peaking (so amazing when shooting at f1.4 to f0.95 when you're changing focus during a shot). Image stabilization (I shot my last wedding 90% handheld with non IS lenses and the footage is gorgeous.) This camera fixes all the frustrations I had with the GH3 (which really were lack of stabilization and lack of focus peaking) and upgrades the image amazingly. With weddings I typically don't even mess with 400mbps, I usually go 150mbps 60p or 24p depending on if I want to slow it down or not, and it's phenomenal. Coming from the GH3 and Camcorders - the GH5's low light makes me so happy. It isn't legendary compared to other cameras - so I've heard. But I briefly owned an A6500 and used it in low light situations and it fell apart worse than the GH5 does in similar circumstances. (wedding receptions I'm lookin' at you). For commercial work I'll crank up the bit rate and color depth and it's awesome. This is such a fun camera to use. I love the freedom I had with camcorders to hand-hold and not be tethered to a tripod or monopod for long periods. I still use those tools as I need to, but not always needing them allows me to be much faster and much less conspicuous at weddings (people think I'm a photographer and don't worry about what they're doing as much). The stabilization is better than the A6500's as well. I took that to comic-con last year and didn't love the IBIS. All to say, as a professional in the wedding and web commercial industries, this is a powerhouse of a camera. Pair it with either a speedbooster and fast glass, or voigtlander 0.95 primes and you're set to create beautiful imagery without the camera getting in the way. (No overheating or other issues that competitors deal with).
