Would you buy GH5 II??
Not I’m 2021.
I wouldn't buy a m43 sensor camera in 2021. The only advantage I see it having is the IBIS which is impressive.
Bought one! The streaming facility clinched it for me.
As a video biased camera, it's un beatable
Purchased one to eventually replace my Sony A6400 for vlogging & RUclips. Vlogged with t last weekend and it did an excellent job, the autofocus performed well too! Loving this camera so far.
This is the best-looking footage that I've seen from the GH5 II so far. Well done.
Wow, thanks!
I second that! 👍
I’m really excited to see how the live-streaming pans out.
me too. I'll make a video about it when the production model is shipping out
Yes i bought this camera. I’m happy with it.. the 4k 60p is mmmuuaahhh
NICE!
your reviews are really amazing and you are definitely one of the bests.
Great concise informative review, 25% more dynamic range big difference.
Thank you!!! It's a great little camera
Great video PAV! That red II looks awesome in this camera lol
I have applied your method for accurate AF by face tracking from S5 and it worked very well on this camera as well
@@PavSZ Nice!
i bought it and it rocks
still good camera!
This is the camera I'm looking for coz I do walk tour video. I plan to do a live walk tour weekly. I'm interested in how to set up a live streaming with this camera. I also use gh5. Great video!
Sounds great!
You will have to rely on good 4G/5G signal and you can connect it to your phone - stream from anywhere
Can’t wait to get my GH5 Mark 2.
Did not see this one coming! Streaming function seems like a good selling point!
it is!
THANKS PAV...! TRULY USEFUL INFORMATION. AFTER OLYMPUS BREAKDOWN, M4/3 HAS NOW REBIRTHED WITH THIS CAMERA... BEST REGARDS FROM SPAIN. NANO.
Thank you for watching!
Olympus might not be dead yet 😉
New OLED EVF with faster 120Hz refresh rate. That makes such diference!
it certainly does!
Great Video! What lens are you using on that GH5_2 to achieve those beautiful background blur
I have used Helios 44-2 and Pentacon 50mm vintage lenses (I have reviewed both on this channel)
I just go from Anson & Co.... great Lifestream! Great video! :)
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video Pav!
Thanks Mike!
great video mate! You got your hands on one very early!
Yeah I did - very lucky!
The GH6 will be much more expensive hence the GH52 will be a best seller
$1000 more expensive!!!
Hi, great videa. Did I understand correctly that you can plug this in to power it whilst still shooting?
this is what I understand. I don't have the camera to test it right now
well, I do have the G7 and I would love to upgrade. i was thinking the XT4 but the mark 2 is the same price and I already have lenses for M43. I might stick Panasonic. We Shall see
it makes sense if you already have lenses and you like the MFT system
@@PavSZ yeah I do like it MFT. I don’t really care about sensor size. Just as long as it works for me that’s fine. I’m not realizing that. Before I would let people persuade me to get a bigger sensor
Nice energy in your delivery and very i formative video thank you :)
What are you filming with yourself with??
Cheers, subscribed
Thanks for the sub and thank you for watching!
I film myself with Nikon Z6, Sigma 50mm f1.4 and Atomos Ninja V
Great review, thanks! Do you know this camera has Focus Transition like the Gh5? I am thinking about the S5, but is the viewfinder really bad in compare to the GH5 / GH5ii?
I love your enthusiasm but don’t you feel like this is just Panasonic trying to bring the camera back to the $2000 price point? At the same time, it allows them to release the GH6 at a higher price point? I feel like Panasonic hasn’t innovated for about four years. Panasonic is now just for people that can’t afford Sony.
I think they took the GH5 and tweaked it to make the BGH1. Then, I think they put the BGH1 insides and put it back into the GH5 body.
They are basically cross cannibalizing and calling innovation. Please prove me wrong. I would be thrilled to be wrong
"Panasonic is now just for people that can’t afford Sony"
That's harsh! A lot of people are purely not interested in Sony, especially those who have a collection of MFT lenses already and are in any way invested in MFT system. Panasonic cameras, although they do not compete with Sony's AF, have so much more to offer than most of Sony cameras when it comes to video. Only a1 and a7sIII can do 10bit 4:2:2 internal recording - you can do that with three year old GH5 and without any recording time limits.
The price of GH5 II is very competitive. for what it is and what it can offer it;'s a good value for money.
These companies are in business to make money and increasing the price of the new kit coming out is not uncommon practice. . It is what it is.
BGH1 and then GH5 II came from the same mould - they are based on their very popular MFT eco system.
You could say exactly the same about any camera system. Sony has done it for years and years - same menu system, same sensor, new camera model.
New innovative or game changing models only come out once in a while and most of the time these innovations are the pretty much the same across all brands. Stuff like 4k60p or 10bit internal video recording.
@@PavSZ I appreciate your reply but I am not sure exactly how you can defend being 100% optimistic about this repackaging of old technology with token upgrades that could have been firmware updates in most cases. I am seeing MANY influencers saying positive things, brushing over SERIOUS issues and with an undertone of manic depression. How is Panasonic getting you guys to do this? Is it really this important to be on their camera evaluation list?
@@TheThaiLife I think you hit the Nail on the head about panasonic now being for people who can't afford sony however, I use both so for lower budget jobs i will bring the panasonic. it is tough due to the pandemic there is a parts shortage while in the meantime people may still need to replace their old gh5's with a new one and this gives them that option whch is a good thing.
@@clarke.inverary A very good point. I still feel like the GH5 has more soul than any other camera I know for me. I really hope Panasonic fixes just a few, although major, issues. Because when Panasonic is on, they are really on.
I love my gh5
Cool, still an amazing camera
I have a GH5 II and it’s amazing. Used it for a full day vlog (using AF-C face tracking) and it performed amazingly. Vlog is up on my channel if you’re interested in seeing how it performed. Switching to this for a vlogging/RUclips camera coming from a Sony A6400.
good camera, no doubt
I guess streaming option in this model speaks to many. Wonder how good it works?
I'm sure it works well judging by other Panasonic cameras that already have been using this functionality for awhile
@@PavSZ that means S5 also have this function?
@@NowyKurs no, I was referring to other cameras like Panasonic HC-X1500/2000 camcorders
Hello from France. I love the gh5, but with 300€ offered by Panasonic for buying s5, we could have full frame for less price….
If you don't already have money invested in MFT lenses, go for S5. Better camera overall
S5 has a crop in 4k 60 this is a no no to me
07:27 what lens are you using bokeh is splendid
I think it was Helios 44-2
Bro! Come join the stream today! 12pm EST I’m pumped to chat with everyone about it
I will be there
@@PavSZ hell yeah
would you be willing to go over your lumix S5 settings that you use for photography? :)
Settings change all the time depending on the location, situation and lighting. I shoot with few deferent cameras but the principles are always the same. You need to understand the exposure triangle to effectively control ISO, Aperture and shutter speeds + when it comes to a specific camera like S5, where the buttons are and which focusing mode to use for a specific situation.
Check out this video from Josh: ruclips.net/video/kxS4sa5YZvc/видео.html
Hahaha, you sly bastard, stream still going on and you already have a review out 😂 well done matey, still glad to have moved to the S-series though.
haha it took me like 5 minutes to make this 😉
I love S5 a lot!
May I ask you, what did you use to film yourself in this video?
Nikon Z6 with Sigma 50mm f1.4 lens
I'm a owner of s5 and actually this looks a S5 APS-C sensor
it looks at feels like S5 but it's sensor is Micro Four Thirds (smaller than APS-C)
Would you recommend the GH5 II as a good camara to begin with? I am looking to buy my first profesional camara and l am looking into the GH5 II. I want a camara to record high quality videos but take excellent pictures as well. My main focus would be recording short clips and probably some vlogs. What would you recommend. I am new to the world of camaras. Appreciate the help.
Would a full frame be a better option?
I was also considering the S5. Which do you think would be the best?
@@alfonsolara70 full frame is a more expensive option. Gh5 can do everything you want
The ibis has been improved hence does it have any crop in 4k in the new version?
Did you actually watch my video??? 😉
No crop in any video mode
I am currently looking around for a camera to record my classroom lessons for my students. I tend to move around a fair bit and the camera will be at the back of the room, how will the GH5 Mark II go, in terms of staying focused on me? I will be shooting on the minimum aperture, so students can see the whiteboard in the video (so no blur), will auto focus have trouble with that? in addition, what's the difference between the Lumix lens and the lecia lens, which one would be better? Thanks in advance!
If the Gh6 is going to be more money i think most people will just go over to sony or canon or if they stay with panasonic get the S5. thanks for the video.
Not people who have invested heavily in MFT lenses already. Sony is not for everyone and you can't use mft lenses on S5
@@PavSZ Its not hard to sell all your lenses and switch over or keep both. thanks for the reply.
What luts do you use for your test footage?
No LUTs on the test footage - I've colour graded that in Adobe Premiere from scratch.
However, I use Cinema Grade plugin for my b-roll and me talking footage
Sadly this means micro 4/3rds is dead but I do love the stream feature 👍
it's not dead ... yet!
Wait for the gh6
@@PavSZ I had a GH5 which I sold literally a week ago after manual focus vlogging since 2017. Ad a video camera I love the picture quality, frame rates and colour science of cine D, even bought the v log. The biggest thing for me is the outo focus when I am in front of the camera. If the GH6 fixes the auto focus they can have my money again because there isn’t a video centric camera that offers what the GH5 offers.
@@germancreatives88 True. I really hope they give us a great auto focus system for when you need to vlog. That is a big wish for me PLEASE PANASONIC 😁🙏
@@RawkustvOfficial The gh5 cameras are built for Cinema shooting in Manuel Focus, not vlogging. If you wanna shoot yourself get the G95 or G100.
I m lost about which one to buy : G9 New firmware or GH5M2 ?
Thanks for advices...
Hard to advise - only you can decide which one is better for you
@@PavSZ which one is better for pictures? They seem almost identical apart from hi res mode?
Do you need livestreaming and/or unlimited recording?
@@clarke.inverary now that this camera has these two features, I can see myself using them. Any advantage the G9 has over the GHii apart from price?
@@mantiq7768 the g9 has better ergonomics for photos has pixel shift if you need high resolution still photography. thats pretty much it.
Can you record 10 bit 4k 60fps 4.2.2 in just standard mode or is that only in log?
sorry, i don't have the camera anymore to try it - I think so
👍
👍🏻
So Fuji xt4 still wins. Unless you’re a gh5 person which many are.
Fuji XT-4 is APS-C, photo first ,camera - this is MFT, video first, camera.
These two are not in the same class
@@PavSZ sounds like we need a showdown video. Lol. I would challenge this notion given the video specs are very similar,
True the Fuji has a bigger sensor. But the price is so similar and the features are similar it would be a good comparison video. I’m a Fuji juice fanboy since I got my xt4, I did compare the gh5 and others to it a7c, almost went s5. I am more video first. I couldn’t shy away from the Fuji though after comparing and looking at samples.
pdaf
I do say what it is in my video
