GH5 IN 2024 CRASH COURSE FOR NEW OWNER'S! PART 3 

I transferred out of my 9-5 construction job and am working full time as a lead videographer… ALL WITH THE GH5. This camera is incredible and you are so right, it gets the job done and some. Now I still want the S5II really bad so I can have the low light and auto focus capabilities but at this stage in my life I can’t afford that upgrade and that’s okay. I am honing my skills with framing, camera settings, and manual focus! It’s like driving a manual car. Not many people do it now but the ones who do typically tend to be the better drivers. Keep at you y’all! Anything is possible!

This is just perfect. 99 per cent is to make the people to out and shoot and only 1 per cent is about the technical stuff. If you ask me, this is just perfect. Many thanks. Keep it going!

Only reason to upgrade is from time limited cameras regarding video - to a GH5 or GH5s or GH5 II / Nobody needs a better camera. I however use G9, and I am sooo super happy. However that sigma trilogy 😅

Fantastic motivation for a new GH5 owner, subscribed. Thanks for doing this, can't believe you don't have more subs.

Inspiring!mft have some magic look for sure

Very cool encouragement! I also have relied my work as documentarian on gh5 since almost 6 years. Just like you said the camera actually has been the true 'perfect' camera because after years we have got used to it. Last time I was still very thankfull that I had the gh5 during the vert difficult remote shooting location without possibillity of charging. The GH5 indeed consumes low energy despite the combination with a mixer and a NTG-4, especially it was also not heavy to carry all equipment (a rig + travel tripod) alone. And the last improvement to my Gh5 was the purchasing the powerfull mixer DMW XLR-1. Because It will be useless for cinema purpose when we film super scene but the sound quality is poor. For single man documentary production Gh5 has been an optimal gear! Once again: after 6 years I am still convinced that we may still discover the luck and the magic by using this camera.

Bro, I'm so glad to see the new video (even though I'm a week late). Each of your videos is special, not only because there is a very beautiful picture and a lot of useful information, but because you put your soul into your work and treat the viewer as a friend. I watch your videos whenever I have the opportunity and always get a positive outlook and fresh thoughts. I bought a new lens (Panasonic Micro 4/3 Lens 25mm F/1.7). ;) Thank you, my friend!

I've change from NikonD5500 to GH5 five years ago and I'm very happy with this camera even I'm not have v-log profile. 😂😂😂 Everyone told me do not buy GH5 because autofocus on video and low light is not good as another FF brand but after I've comparison with myself with another brand camera I'm still decided on GH5 for work until now.

Nice thought. I don't know English, I use google translate, you have beautiful videos, I keep my fingers crossed for you. Greet from Slovakia

Superb video. I've been considering upgrading from the GH5 to the new S5iix. However, it was just an excuse. The GH5 is still very capable with fantastic image quality. Im going to stick with it until it gives out now

Agree with your message. I take daily test footage testing all profiles, different ISO and so forth in different environments and time of day. Starting to get comfortable with the camera and my footage keeps getting better. I"m looking to master the GH5 and from that point move onto little short films and so forth. The GH5 continues to surprise. I'll worry about another camera some other time.

Of course! Beautiful... Tell me where you left that bag!

I use the GH6 and GH5 for my own work, but I use higher end FF Canons for contract work because that's what they provide for those shoots. I never go back to my M43 cameras and feel like I'm missing out. The FFs have some advantages for sure in specific situations. But those situations are shrinking as M43 gets better features like PDAF and better low light noise performance. I would never tell anyone they're wrong for preferring FF, but nobody should feel like they can't do great things with M43 or any modern camera for that matter, they're all so good. Heck, I use a GH4 as a webcam and people constantly say they can't believe how good my video conferencing quality is.

Well said... you know your equipment and know how to colorgrade... upgrading would be a excuss

I love my GH5. It is a rugged workhorse that is suited for travel. 4:2:2: 10 bit video I can trim (video divide in menu for those who may not know) in camera so I don't waste a lot of hard drive space is a big deal. I also love the focus transition feature that does a perfect focus pull every time and it has a timer so if you are in the shot with no other camera operators around you can have that movement in the shot with just a tripod, just get your timing right and trim the clip in camera to save hard drive space. This works great with the 12-60 kit lens. Glad I came across this video. Subscribed.

Thank you

That sigma makes a great image! I should just add to my lens collection but I am guilty of wanting another camera first (it is the GH5 I want if that is any consolation.) I still have time to change my mind but I probably won't. Great work.

Thanks for the encouragement..I still have lots to discover in my GH5. Please give us more...

Your image is really beautiful, it's incredibly well-managed. The slightly yellowish green color, the skin tone... Really nice. I have a GH6, so I have absolutely no excuse, lol

Exactly!

so does it have continuous auto focus or not? One thing is autofocus andother is that it is continuous... I want a good video-focused camera as an actor doing all the work myself, filming myself in front of the camera and so I like it can keep me in focus even if I back away a meter or come up close to the lens... can I still do it with this camera or which in this price class now in 2024 will be the best choice? what about about the Black Magic camera? I got three lenses already and a GH3 but feel is time to upgrade my gear... I also film documentaries in poetic moods, and observational documentaries and like to follow people in the streets to see what life is like for different people, who are real-life characters and see life from their perspectives.. what camera to choose then in 2024? thanks for a great review of this model, I am interested but there is something in me that says, maybe not this one.. but still I am confused as to, what then? which camera can I afford in 2024 and still be up to date and do the things I want with a camera... any advice that can make me understand better which camera is worth it will be highly appreciated

Thanks for the important words that motivate action! I love my GH5, and I know that there is still a lot of potential to discover in it.

You have beautiful country there. I understand that crisis,have that syndrome also.. wanting a new camera. Deep down i know i can never achieve good video unless i keep on training and learning how to make and shoot video. It is not the camera, it is the man behind the camera that count. But to calm my urge, i just bought 7Artisans 35mm f0.95 and oh boy those Full frame look is really there in my GH5ii. Now the focus now is how can i make good video and capture the interest of 4 billion people on the internet..😂😂😂 that is my challenge.

Loved it.. I got GH5 was thinking about focusing problems etc but I liked the lines stop making excuses and start filming..🙏

Great video Ken, the GH5 camera a cinematic beast. Learning the right settings can make a huge difference. Love the videos you create. Would love to see one about the anamorphic features on the camera. I’m still playing around with that one.

💥✊👍

Awesome, man, awesome 👏

Your footage looks as beautiful as I could ever hope mine to look. I think camera limitation can help you learn. The wide dynamic range in my current camera makes me lazy. Having to think less about your lighting is actually a bad thing for your filmmaking in the long run. I thought less friction would make me make more stuff. Turns out it makes no difference to my out put, only my wallet. Yeah my footage looks a bit better, but not because I've grown as a filmmaker. I think I'm going to sell my sony gear off and go back to my G9. Luckily I bought my sony stuff used so I probably won't loose much. Thanks for videos. Really enjoy your channel.

Oh boy !!! Colors ❤
