    So when the GH5 II was announced alongside the GH6, I knew the GH5 II was the ideal upgrade for me. While everyone was confused and laughing at the GH5 II, I read all the specs and actually appreciated it and bought 2 of them, as the GH6 is way too much camera for my needs. Highlights of the GH5 II for me? 50% brighter screen. No one talks about that (actually it's the identical LCD panel the GH6 has). Luminance spot meter, Vectorscope doesn't dissapear when adjusting white balance, much improved autofocus (usable now in casual situations), Focus Ring Control giving fly by wire lenses linear manual focusing like cinema lenses. See, the other brands would have forced me to buy a high end camera for those upgrades, but not Panasonic. Also, 4K60 internal 10 bit 4:2:0 finally as opposed to 8 bit. An improved Waveform monitor. Actually, the whole operating system on the GH5 II is pretty much from the S series cameras. VLOG-L built in of course. Slightly better IBIS performance (like the G9, actually, it's right there between the GH5 and GH6). Everything about the GH5 II is great. There are three features of the GH6 that I do like though. The ability to punch in to check focus while recording, up to 60fps. The 4K120. Dynamic range boost isn't all that for me but when enabled (it's automatic in photography), it gives probably about 2 stops better ISO performance. First, punch in for manual focus isn't critical. You can just use an on camera monitor. 2nd, I can shoot 1080p 120fps on the GH5 II then upscale with Video Enhance AI Proteus model to 4K. It's not as good as true 4K but it's perceptually close in most cases. Now, 1080p 120 is line skipped or pixel binned on the GH5 II while it is super sampled on the GH6. With that said, using the "Image Area of Video" option for a roughly 2.6x 2 megapixel 1:1 crop of the sensor eliminates that. Being a tad out of focus also eliminates moire artifacts, and then upscaling with Video Enhance AI will bring back the sharpness. I don't shoot much slow motion so this is a good solution for the occasional times I do. Finally, the GH5 II is pretty good in low light, but if you have to go to a higher ISO, it's nothing that Neat Video de-noising software can't fix. Lower your EV by a stop or even more in low light and shoot with a lower dynamic range profile like Flat or Natural. Most my shots are in good lighting though. Anyways, people over looked the GH5 II. I do like the GH6 (the price is excellent as well), but it's too much camera for me and I'd recommend the GH5 II to most people. You can use the cheap v30 SD cards and be able to enjoy all the features of the camera minus the 400mbps ALL-I 4K recording modes. I prefer the GH5 II overall :)

    Gosh damn the GH6 looks almost as good as an S1H! I'll definitely be upgrading in the next few years. The portability of the lens choices for MFT is just unbeatable. It's so easy to bring anywhere it really encourages you to keep shooting which in turn makes you better and better.

  • @EmeraldAudiovisual

    You could upgrade your GH5 to a GH5-II and sell your GH5 to offset the financial hit. That will give you an upgrade to 4k60, VLOG L is included in the GH5-II by default, you get streaming capabilities and it uses the same BLK-22 batteries as the GH6.

    Another really good video that got me going. Right now I'm thinking about whether I should buy the Leica 12-60mm, you're making the decision easy for me. I love your pragmatism in how you approach filming. Your videos about the GH6 are the only ones (and I think I've seen them all) that really convince me, precisely because you constantly prove what relentlessly awesome pictures this camera (like you with the GH5) can produce, when it's in the hands of a real filmmaker.

    Thx, Ryan! I have been waiting for this - and I will very much consider upgrading after you now have "approved" the GH6 capabilities. I still love my GH5 and use it all the time - and I will keep it as a B-cam anyway. I have used the 12-60 Leica 2.8 as it came with the GH5 kit, when I bought it. It´s my number one lens - and it's just so versatile - and even good for macro. The batteries for the GH6 should be usable for the GH5 as well? Or am i wrong? Do you only use SD cards in the GH6? If so - will you not miss the opportunity to shoot in all the possible modes? Looking forward to watch all your tests and coming videos. Thx for sharing your thoughts and advice! Cheers :-)

  • @JordanVegBike

    Are there options to power it off an external USB-C battery pack? If they keep changing the batteries then maybe it makes sense to just get a couple of GH6 batteries and then use a USB-C powerpack to power the camera.

      Afaik they gonna add the option in future firmwares if it's not out already. I'm still gonna use a NF-P adapter to power both my future GH6 and the external monitor through a single battery pack, which is a plus, that's what I actually use for my GH5 right now.

    I find myself in this Panasonic GH6 deep dive over the past few days, and I'm really thinking of upgrading from my Sony a6400 to this camera. I shoot in SLog2 all the time, and hardly use autofocus at all. Actually, only to sometimes grab focus and then set it in manual. I guess sometimes in doc work, autofocus is good for that run and gun need, but........ this camera seems like a tool you can really grow with for a long time, and that's what I'm looking for. I was ready to grab either the Sony a7siii, or the FX3, but I'm thinking........ Damn you Panasonic. lol. Thanks for sharing. Great video.

    Hey brother Ryan, wuick question. I get that image is great but to get a great image you probably need a adapter meaning a speedbooster and a canon lense or a sigma. So this camera does need some tweaking to get a great image. Also autofocus on this is terrible which means you have to manually focus contastantly right? Or am i mistaken here?

    I'm using my GH5 and only in the past year or two have I started shooting 10-bit, and not even doing much in vlog or HLG. That makes me wonder if I don't need to upgrade since I'm technically not maxing out my GH5.
    I would like a smaller form factor (seems like GH6 is bigger), but maybe I should just ditch my metabones and get one of those more compact Lecias etc.

    I hate the MFT look. I had Panasonic for a long time and and shot alot with GH5. Sharp images are not everything. I would go FF and get S1/S5 or Sony a7sIII

    Here's a conspiracy for you. Sony makes Panasonic sensors. If m43 had a good auto focus, imagine how many cheaper m43 cameras would be made instead. Think of all that glass. From a profits perspective, its just more lucrative to sell Full Frame.
