Have we just found our very own British Cris Nicholls and Jordan Drake? I think so. Entertaining. Informative. A more objective review than infomercial. More like this please!
I always enjoy watching your gear reviews and tests, but for this video I actually enjoyed the on screen chemistry of both of you guys... makes it doubly entertaining. Cheers!
You two make a great team and work very well together. You definitely looked like you were enjoying yourselves and at the same time still giving a very good run down of the G90, which does seem a good camera. Nice video clips and pictures. I had a G80 but swopped it for a Fuji XT30, you now made me want to buy the G90 at some point.
I always enjoyed watching Amy's content at Park (my local camera shop), but I think it's got even better now you're at WEX (whom I use for online). You two work well together and we'd like to see more reviews please.
Just need to know 1. how to just turn it on and shoot in auto mode? 2. How do I shoot a PANO picture? How do I look at what I just took a picture of? TY in advance
This is a bit disappointing.. This is G80 with a headphone jack and 4 more megapixels. VlogL is pretty useless in 8Bit (at least it was back in the GH4 days), no 10 bit, no 4k 60.. However it's certainly a better camera than the G80 and if they're going to be at the same price level the choice is clear. What's also clear is your video - very professional as always!
Hey Adam, fair points there - I think Vlog-L can be ok in 8-bit in certain environments, but yes, I too try to avoid shooting 8-bit log regardless of the camera! Thanks positive comments on our video anyway, and for watching! Cheers! KH
You contradict yourself - "G80 with a headphone jack and 4 more megapixels" - then you say "certainly a better camera than the G80" - are MP the most important thing to you? Just goes to show how good the G80 already is, when there's not a tonne they could upgrade without matching a GH5. For a mid-range camera it is spec'd to the hilt let's be honest. There's plenty enough going on though as an upgrade - Better ergonomics, this is more important to many [inc me] than any video features, it now has dedicated ISO/WB buttons, better overall build quality, a new Live view composition mode, usb charging and as you say the updated sensor. The only con for me as a G80 user is the price ... £899 body only is expected! that is £200 more than the G80 body only was. Bad move by Pany right there. Why would I 'upgrade' to this when I can get a G9 used in excellent condition for same
@@Cagey7531 You missed one key word, "however". I said the G90 seems like a very slight upgrade over the G80, which isn't enough for me to switch, but if it's at the same price point and I didn't have the G80, I'd definitely pick the G90 over it.
@@cameradeal5648 was the G80 only ,$600 at release? I highly doubt it. But I'm talking UK, where the G80 was £699 and the G90 is expected to be £899, 2 years later and the updates are more just that, updates to remain relevant. Much as I'd love to trade my G80 for one I'm not about to be ripped off. I can get a G9 in the UK for the same money
Yes, it is rather annoying if you're looking at this primarily for video. I didn't have time to test the external output so can't comment on that, although I can see from the specs you can output 8-bit 422, just no 10-bit. Cheers for watching! KH
@@WexPhotoVideo Thanks! Hmm...leaves me in a bit of a pickle. I could use the extra 4mp, the 120fps 1080 and VLOG-L but thats about it over the G80. Did you notice if the video autofocus was improved over the G80? If Panasonic do one of their cashback deals it might be worth it for me but otherwise I think I will wait for my 100-400 to be paid off and get the G9 😉
To manage your highlights in jpeg, simply set the zebras to 105%, then set iDynamic to standard or high, & go for your life. You won't do a great deal better with a single raw when processed. Panasonic do brilliant jpegs, despite all the hate.
I currently have a G7 and there is only one thing I think really sucks on my camera. It's the dynamic range. My question is: is the dynamic range of that sensor in the GH5/G95?G9 etc much better as far as dynamic range? I rented a XT-30, which is about the same size and even cheaper than the G95 and I was blown away by the dynamic range. I'm honestly thinking about saying goodbye to those M43 sensor, again mainly because of their poor dynamic range. So why buy this cam instead of a XT-30 ?
Ok I'm planning on upgrading from a g7, and I'm debating going with this or pulling out a little extra cash and getting the g9. Which would be the better option in your opinion? I mainly shoot video, however I'd love to be able to take the occasional senior pictures for people. Thank you
If you can afford the extra cash and you'll be doing more filming than photography, then I'd recommend opting for the GH5, not the G9. Its got way more video features than the G9 and it's also still a very capable stills camera. Thanks for watching! KH
I wish Nikon did this with an updated version of the Nikon D5500 and Nikon D5600. With all the specs of the Panasonic G95. Especially with the headphone Jack and unlimited recording in 4K
A fiddly joystick is pointless on a camera with such an excellent fully functional touch screen, they did at least upgrade the old D-pad to a control wheel/D-pad that looks much nicer to use. In fact the ergonomics are the biggest upgrade, with the addition of the ISO/WB buttons, button replacement [no more confusing the display and Q-menu buttons with your eye to the evf] - the grip looks chunkier and overall the camera looks a bit more robust, which is nice. The G80 is already excellent for the money, not sure I'd 'upgrade' to this just yet, not at the expected release price. It'll cost current G80 owners at least £400 extra for a few nice feature with a more rugged body. Not worth it just yet I'd say. G9 is currently better value and a proper upgrade.
The short distance focus, or rather disability to focus, is a flaw in many (all?) Panasonic models. The lx100 for example even has a dedicated macro focus switch, yet had the same flaw as the G series. I’ve learned how to trick it to work without resorting to manual focus, but it’s annoying that the cameras software cannot do what the hardware is capable of doing.
That's not a Snipe Dear, it's a Redshank. But we'll forgive you because it is, otherwise, a great review, and you review cameras, you aren't Michaela Strachan! lol (although she wouldn't know a Redshank if one jumped up and bit her either!)
@@shapes2000 someone who records on a scene with changing lighting (clowdy days or event hall light that you don't control) and flourecent lit Hall's or rooms (that force you to lock the Shutter speed) I destroyed so much good fotage due to these scenarios without auto ISO
I think it did, as I think I switched it to Auto by accident, but I can't 100% say that for sure. But, I'd still never recommend using it. Cheers for watching! KH
@@cameradeal5648 I wouldn't recommend using any auto settings for filming, purely because I don't have full control over my image. When using Auto ISO you can often get harsh jumps as the ISO changes based on the environment, it also means that the amount of noise in the image would fluctuate - it all doesn't make for a consistent look in my opinion. If I was filming in a theatre, I would try to expose my image for the brightest lights in the theatre, making sure that my shadows are not too crushed, if they are, then I'd open it up more and prioritise what's more important- I'd also be shooting in a wide DR picture profile to try and capture as much information as possible. Does that make sense? Cheers, KH
Wex Photo Video Thanks for advising That’s really considerate of Panasonic - I think the AF improvements are fantastic I just hope they’ve added shutter angle locking like the GH5 and auto iso in manual would be great but not essential Cheers
I'm interested in female photographers and how their vision of the world is different from their male counterparts. But, this is sad, whenever we talk of great photographers, we know only or mostly about male ones. That's why it's always lovely to see a video in which a female photographer shows her vision to us. Good luck 👍!
Next time, put the camera + lens used in the bottom corner of the screen, for EVERY part of your camera review video. For now, I just hope you didn't use any other material than the G95 + 12-60mm ...
That 4k no crop pictures is faded crap and other youtube..I dont like focus. Full sensor and better focus system and better budget and compatible lenses adapters...it be great camera both vlog video photo...it top canon Nikon sony.
WOW this video Is inspiring i am getting a camera lumixg95

Great video, how does the autofocus compare vs the G80? Is it worth the upgrade?
Great chemistry you two. Enjoyable video. 👍
The colors are amazing! What LUT did you use?
Finally Panasonic now just wait 2-3 months for bigger price drop on G80, that's for what I waiting for 😉
Great review guys! This looks like a decent backup body for a Gh5 or a G9! I do wish it had a nipple! Continue being awesome!🤘
Thanks Barron! Always nice to read a positive comment. Long live the nipple! Cheers for watching! KH
G’Day I’ve just joined your Chanel, awesome video to watch thank you guys.

What is the price? That could save me forking out for the G9 potentially.

Nobody mentions the preamps if using an external microphone. Are they any good or better than G7 or G85?
What did you record this video with?
what lens did you use for gh5s and for g90 footage?
How does this compare against the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II?

Does it autofocus in 120fps, and does it have the 29:59 limit in normal video recording?
They mentioned unlimited in 4K and hd.
psionicdreams No recording limit regardless of region. 120fps is manual focus only and no sound recording.

The Panasonic LX10 has a worse 4k crop, but its a great little camera.
Great video! You are fresh!

Filmed partly on GH5s unless otherwise noted in V-logL. Color grade looks to be warmer filmic look.
