The Panasonic GH5 is NOW a Perfect Camera! 

You found your next purchase, a second GH5!! 😁

I use a gimbal a lot as I film dancers! Would it work?

How do you feel about the G9 update it got ver 2.0 which gave it most of the GH5 4K 10bit recording and HDMI output. For people leaning more towards photography but also want good video.

Any lens recommendations...?

@@jbmi5342 depends... for fast change of camera view (composition, lots of movements) I recommend the A7III. But I shoot with GH5 + Viltrox and Sigma 18-35mm dancers on square to my clip and it works well. I just keep the same distance and focusing manually :D . In room conditions the AF works well. A7III is great in combination with gimbal (I am using it with Weebill), but for handheld, and doing some my focusing changes(slow focusing form far subject to nearby etc) i prefer GH5. I like it more - better body, better stabilization etc. And you also can shoot the dancers with any camera, GH5 can do it well too.

Wow I’m honored to be included in that list 😳 Thanks so much! 👍

Totally agree!

Yes. Potato jet is a fave too, but my number one is also Everyday Dad (i hope i get a gimbal for Christmas. ✌️😂😁🤣)

Potato guy sucks

Jean is awesome, but sadly lost in Canon canyon! But his channel has really grown quite like this one. And what about Dslr_video_shooter?

Thanks so much! I'm actually really proud of this video, it felt fantastic making it.

I think it had some problems but I'm really impressed with their update.

Its getting better but not rock steady. So far only Sony has nailed it as the perfect autofocus camera, i think

did you get it and how is it?

Thanks so much! Yeah I’m a big fan of panasonic cameras for both stills and video, here’s hoping they release an updated GH camera soon 👍

@Tommy Callaway what's the advantage of the gh5 over the xt3 and vice versa? Why do you use one over the other?

@@danielmessier4903 GH5 + sigma 18-35 f1.8. I can get that bad boy down to f1.2 with a speedbooster, gh5 has full size hdmi out.. XT3 has great autofocus, but no IBIS or self facing screen. Z6 is a great all around camera, just no self facing screen. They're all amazing to be honest.

@@TommyCallaway thank you I have canon lenses from having shot stills with a canon full frame for the past few years and would love not to have to get other lenses to work with the gh5. How good does the gh5 with canon glass work with a speed booster?

@@danielmessier4903 It works great... I've been using the sigma 18-35 for years, it's an EF mount lens, I use the Viltrox EF-m2 adapter.

I was planning to buy this for my Semi Pro work making Promotional videos for real estate and architectural projects. Seems from the video itself that this camera is aimed as a consumer level Vlogging camera ! As if Vlogging really needs more than a GoPro Hero 7 Black. And this Vlogging camera has touted bells and whistles like DCI 4K and HDR etc ? Just to entice the customers with buzz words so that the average consumer feels good that he's vlogging using a camera with all these 'pro' sounding features.

Yeah its absolutely a fantastic camera! Also I love your channel and watch it all the time. I physically winced when you manually checked your shutter count at the potential loss of VLOG 🤣

The Everyday Dad haha that’s amazing, yes it was a bit scary and not the best decision I’ve ever made 🤣 you’re brilliant and congrats on nearing 100k 🎉🎉🎉🎉 so well deserved 😁

Ohh the Indian PewDiePie

I think you'll have to wait till mid 2021 for GH6

@@christojose7634 Ahahahah

SpectreSoundStudios my mate's a bassist and he agrees, bit of a problem here!

Hi there :) Do you use the camera for your RU-vid-channel ? I'm thinking about doing the same.

Ha!

He will find you lol

CC guy will be just fine. It's still a "micro LEW-ser four thirds" system. lol

camera conspiracies is shooting on panasonic gh5s and g85, he's right to be pissed at the shoddy panasonic autofocus lol. get your shit together panasonic!

He "only" has a GH5s.

I wouldn’t buy it for the autofocus it still has some warping problems. I’ll continue using it with manual focus and the app 👍

let me know when you will list it on Ebay for Auction :)

What combination did you buy or recommend.

Yeah I totally agree, I’ll continue using manual focus on the GH5 and if I need good autofocus I’ll have to rely on my Sony camera. I really wish Panasonic would stop being so stubborn and would include phase detection. Heck now that they are out of the sensor making business hopefully they’ll buy sensors with it.

Yeah it’s not perfect but I actually like what they’ve got going on now 👍

The gh4 is dead but the autofocus is ok on the R version

Yeah it’s still the best camera for the price (or even double the price)

Jonathan Stephens I got mine about a 15 days ago, couldn’t be happier. Still learning tho

Nice! Congrats!

Nice! Congrats to you too!

@@PardeMalas I am looking forward getting it, its my 3rd M4/3 camera.

Guess who ordered the G7 -_-

Thanks so much! 😁👍

Thanks so much Chris! And yeah I don’t the autofocus is as good as I’d hoped. I’ll still be using manual focus but I absolute love this camera 🤯 And thanks again I can’t actually believe that we’re about to hit 100k honestly I never thought that would happen.

@@TheEverydayDad For certain scenarios I think the auto focus update is acceptable, but if you're doing a talking head and not moving, manual is the best way to go. But I think I'd trust the autofocus now. Maybe.

Realistically it is a hardware difference, not a software difference. GH5 uses contrast detection for AF. Most cameras with really good AF use phase detect, and of course, both at the same time. It isn't something you can really "fix". It is just something you can hope to improve the contrast detection of. But contrast detection is limited in all companies, not just Panasonic. This is why hybrid autofocus systems are so common now.

Hey the background lamp wobble is NOT a glitch! It's the nature of ALL lenses that are in Auto focus mode and the camera is continously making slight adjustments to the lens. If you don't want that focus wobble the shoot in Manual focus!

@@stuCameraman1 He did say it was an autofocus test. So, using manual focus would sort of make it irrelevant.

Thats awesome! I'm glad its working even better for you now!

Kafala are you asking me or Mr. Everyday Dad? 😅 for me that’s subjective, I think for my eyes, RU-vid and stuff that I expect out of it, it’s good for me. I’m not a tech spec type guy though.

Exactly that! I have no interest in changing any time soon

It’s soooo good.

Have you tried the M50 ?

I’m thinking about getting a second one myself 👍

Thanks so much!

I agree with you Joe... This seems to be an incredible breakthrough. I'm still searching and reviewing.... Yet this makes it almost a 100% yes this is the best value! Thanks to @The Everyday Dad for this video

It’s sooo good 😁👍

@@TheEverydayDad :)

Well thanks so much!

If you need the best autofocus go with the a6400. For literally everything else go with the GH5.

@@TheEverydayDad Thank you very much for your reply. What about the photo? Does the A6400 make photos better than the GH5? This is an important point for me.

@@TheEverydayDad Even for low-light video?

G9 has slightly better af

For someone who u shoots narrative short films, travel videos and sometimes small commercials and is used to a Sony a6300 would you recommend the Sony a7iii or GH5?

Muhamed Delic i dont know but if i shoot in clubs i use flash , no problems with low light

@@castielvargastv7931 ive shot over 100clubs just the last 6months and i cant agree that its "good". Depends on your definition of good. I assume you use Flash for photography? Why on earth would you use gh5 for photos in low light?

@@Milan-cf1xe depends. I shoot commercial and travel video for living and i sold my gh5 for the sony simply because of the focus issues and the lowlight. I dont have time to shoot manual mode and i need autofocus i can trust. And the sony is better for photos too if you want to do both.

@@muhameddelic1819 how can you make money from travel videos?

Mark Soukup I like G9 better

The 4k 60 are external and the limit to record in 4k 30. Other user said: "What the G9 does not have is 6K anamorphic, 4K DCI, 400 mbps, waveforms, and a slew of other video centric features including a few audio ones too. Not to mention, not even Sony, Canon, Fuji, or Olympus comes even close to what the GH5 is capable of. And anyone that thinks those other cameras are close, are clearly not doing the kind of video production a GH5 user most likely is, at least not at the less than $3000 price point. So, in short, No. The G9 is not even at the dinner table, let alone cannibalizing the GH5. It might however, be feeding off the scraps that fall from the table, but it’s mostly messy kinds stuff."

@@justoalejandrogonzalez5097 Actually, the G9 now has waveforms thanks to the 2.0 firmware update as you can now install Panasonic's vlog to it. Everything else that you say though is correct.

@@justoalejandrogonzalez5097 how about the 1Dx2? Except for video centric features such as waveform the 1DX2 is hands down one of the best small form video cameras out and it wasn't ever really advertised as such. Though maybe not at this price point. My only objection the GH5 is it's small sensor. I would certainly choose the S1 or the S1H due to its better ergonomics over and vlog included.

@@heartshapedfilms Well... a serious answer? "Though maybe not at this price point." is an understatement. The 1Dx2 is 5.5k on amazon. With that you can have literally FOUR GH5 and spare a couple hundred bucks on chocolate =). The 1DX it twice the weight of the GH5, the 1DX doesn't go up to 180fps, or 4k 60p, the gh5 has: timelapse mode, articulated screen, focus bracketing, focus stacking, 225 focus point, smartphone remote control, 4k crop feature, etc, etc, etc. Yes, 1DX is better in some things, mostly related to the bigger sensor and the battery last longer (partly the reason for such ridiculous weight). ALL OF THAT, and I didn't even mentioned the image stabilization which is one the one thing at which panasonic is, hands down, the best on the market. The 1DX doesn't even have it. The S1H is 3.9k on amazon, so, again, you can buy 3 GH5. So... again, you will have literally a bit better quality (if you want to put DoF and Bokeh in the "quality" tab, which is not actually correct at all) and low light capabilities for 3 o 4 times the price. About ergonomics, I didn't had one in my hand, so... but the GH5 is SUPER ergonomic. I've had used it for 10 or more hours straight, without having issues at all. About the vlog, again, is 100USD of difference and the S1/H are 3 times the price, so... About the small sensor, yes. It has it's limitation. It's just that paying 3 more times for the little difference? as is stated in the video, if my requests to a camera are 90% met with the GH5, I don't need anything else and for the price difference, I'm fully done. Just buy the GH5 with a 3.3k lens (which will be a top of the line wichever brand you choose) or, you can buy just the body of the 1DX MKII (I'll give you a FREE kit lens -when actually no lens is free- as part of the hypotethical situation) and let me know the results. =) Now seriously, I'm not sure where are you from, but in my country, you have to spend 5k to buy a USED 1dx mkII, which is equivalent to a one year worth of a regular salary. Unless you are making a ton of money, buy that is unthinkable and yes, I undertand that Canon made the camera thinking in richer countries, but that's not the reality of most of the world, so with that, you can see all my reason for not choosing at all one of those cameras over the gh5, which, as I said, met 90 or perhaps 95% of my request from a camera =)

Sure go ahead 👍

Thanks so much Barry! Happy belated thanksgiving to you too!

Oh yeah absolutely, there isn’t as much heat to dissipate with a smaller sensor

How much?

The G85 is also an amazing camera, I had one for the longest time.

That update makes the g9 look like an absolute monster of a camera. I’m considering getting one 😳

Problem with all these is the outdated MFT sensor format, which comes with substantially worse image quality than aps-c and full frame for stills.

@@youknowwho9247 I hear ya. Full frame would be awesome but I have physical issues that would make it a paperweight at times. M4/3 is a compromise that should fit my needs.

@@markattardo Oh man, sorry to hear. Medical issues are definitely a good reason to go as light as possible. MFT should fit the bill for you. All the best for your photography. Sidenote: Maybe look at the new Sony APS-C lineup, too. They have some amazingly small and light stuff too.

@@youknowwho9247 Lenses are a big part of it. I love shooting birds but ended up selling my 18-400 because I couldn't comfortably carry and use it. I will look into Sony too, thanks for the suggestion!👍

Edwin Ooi definitely not.

Still has a recording limit.

@@impatrickt yeah, that's the only thing they left for the gh5... I dont need mode them what is possible with the record limit anyways, I mostly do shorter clips and add them together afterwards... there should soon be a workaround by using service mode again I guess

That and the XLR adapter doesn’t work with the G9

@@TheEverydayDad also true. But not many people use it anyways from what I've seen, so that's minor imo... but it is a advantage of the gh5, that's clear

@@froznfire9531 For sure - there's little things that future proof the GH5 a while longer than the G9 too. 400mbps codec DCI 4K ALL-Intra Option Anamorphic + 6K Full Sensor Mode

Jarosław Niekrasz my exact setup! Although my lenses read as “only” f/1.2

Is there also an adapter from Nikon F to MFT available? Because I have both lenses for Nikon.

Which wold be the best value wise and as cheap as possible for vlogging. Thanks in advance.

I think they included the update to the G9 as well, but I'm not 100%. The G9 would be a great camera to get too, I used to have one way back in the day.

@@TheEverydayDad Yes, the update was even bigger for the g9, they added a lot of things besides fixing the autofocus, it would be great if you could try the update of this one too

Except for the recording time limit, the G9 now has everything the GH5 that counts, plus better (6.5 stops) stabilization. It’s a better stills camera, and now matches the GH5 for video. It does have a time limit, but honestly, I had a G7 for a year and a half. I recorded exclusively video, and never had an issue with the time limit. I was recently unable to record a boring hour long lecture with my G9...too bad. SO, for my money the G9 is BETTER than the GH5 and less expensive, too.

@@artjohnson01 you can hack g9 for ilimit time :)

@@socialbombers4017 no I don't think so, that was only possible with the update 1.3, the new 2.0 doesn't allow that anymore from what I've heard

I don’t have one of those on hand but I’ll see what I can do 👍

The Everyday Dad thank you so much !!!

The Everyday Dad please do it bro

Shan Michael Escasio jokes on you mine is 140 grand and 200 grand with the 12-35

@@ashkaanmulji9083 depends on the conversion. I used USD as base and my currency is Philippine peso (php), and yes the gh5 costs 120k.

@Justin Sanchez Primarily filming in three scenarios: 1) a roll of myself talking to the camera. I typically use auto focus for this. 2) Shooting broll of phones propped up on a desk. I review cell phone plans, so getting tight shots of the carrier name in the status bar and other settings like VoLTE anf WiFi calling is important. Typically use AF to focus once, then turn it off while getting the pan or tilt. I'll use continuous AF on my slider though. 3) Walking around and doing cellular data speeds years. I hold the phone out in front of me and use AF to focus on the phone. IBIS is helpful here. A close minimum focusing distance is also helpful.

Yup, probably very bad since it's not mentioned. I feel that if you're doing a review on these kind of product, a check list of thing(s) that the viewer wants to know should be covered and checked off as you make your videos.

oh yeah, lowlight is so important, lets focus on that entire PHOTOGRAPH industry to make it better, right?

Yeah but you turn some lights on or get faster lenses, like the Mitakon 25 f/0.95 or the Kamlan 50 f/1.1, etc. etc. Or a speed booster and fast EF glass, like the Canon 50 f/1.4. And then you don’t have to put up with the rubbish IS and rolling shutter on all SONYs and Canons.

@@the_black_douglas9041 turning lights on doesnt fix the issue if you want a scene to be recorded in lowlight, because it's night time or of you want to do a horror skid.

Every M43 camera sucks in low light. That happens when you have a tiny sensor, its like physics and stuff.

color science... :)

Lol

I think the XT3 is great but personally I don’t think it’s better then the GH5 👍

filmsbylow I agree with you! And Your channel looks cool!

filmsbylow The Fugi xt 3 is the best!💯

The Everyday Dad like better all round? Or for certain things? I’ve had the gh5 for a minute and couldn’t get over how photos look. I would take an xt3 for photo over gh5 photo any day just as much as I’d take gh5 video over xt3 video any day.

@@tulud Why is Micro 4/3 shit? 35mm Full Frame is the only way you can shoot properly or something?

@@JorisMaas No. APS - c does everything better. Whats the point of micro four turds? Its a pointless format

@@tulud I shoot with a 1" Panasonic FZ1000, M 4/3 Panasonic GH4, APS-C Canon EOS 550D and Full Frame Canon EOS 6D. I can (and do) shoot with all 4 sensor based systems. The GH5s has a smaller si ze sensor than APS-C but due to it's los pixelcount and bigger pixelpitch the low light performance is close to Sony's Full Frame A7III.

Joris Maas you are absolutely deluded. Micro four thirds was chosen for everything except image quality. You will NOT BEAT a full frame sensor or even come close to it. Stop talking to me you deranged fanboy

Nice! I should probably get a second one.

I own lots of cameras and I couldn’t make my content without my gh5 😁👍

@@TheEverydayDad so it is bad basically

@@TheEverydayDad -- I think that you mean *without* your GH5 -- not *with* it!!!! :-)

Blue Collar Nomad lol... I was expecting you to say I'm telling her to LEAVE!!!!!... not to watch this video....

By stopping down and focusing on the subject. Directional lighting goes a long way towards microcontrast and perceived sharpness too
