95% of the kit you talk about I never have the intention of buying, but your videos are such a great mix of comedy, variety and solid information that I can’t help but watch them! One of the best channels on RUclips for me. You are a really great duo!
Jordan does, as always, a great job of running through a camera's features and performance. But the performance that sticks in my head is Chris' interpretive focus dance. It was very, erm, memorable.
Yaaassss!
My brain "Whoa he nailed those moves the same way 2x in a row!?!? - oh wait no they just shot both cams at the same time"
This was a fantastic review. You explained the upgrades better than Panasonic did 😂 I could see the autofocus losing you at 7:35. Come on Panasonic 😐 Thanks you.
Which camera are you using now karl?
It's bonkers that they are still using contrast based autofocus system in 2021. Come on Panasonic, learn a thing or two from Sony when it comes to precise autofocusing algorithm.

Sony sucks, that's the only they can Bragg about is their auto focus, other than that, Sony sucks!!
@@thewalkingvloggingman7152 ok
This was very informative! Most other reviewers basically trashed the GH5II, saying "it's got nothing new, it sucks, blah blah" but in reality it seems like a very solid update.
Thanks for the review Jordan! Looks like there are lots of new features to try out!
Criterion Collection shirt. Classic.
I was finally getting ready to relegate my GH3 to backup status and was shopping GH5s. This just instantly made my mind up!
As always, yet another great review
Best camera reviewers on RUclips bar none.
Hi Jordan and Chris, I'm a fan of the channel. I'll give you a suggestion: when publishing the video on RUclips, add a caption to facilitate understanding for those who live in other countries. Greetings from Brazil.
Amazing camera. Quick question, can u digitaly zoom in for focus checking when recording?
This thing is a powerful tool. Mobile streaming from your phone is just next level stuff
I am not disappointed in this update. Sharper brighter screen, better audio, 4k 60p @ 10 bit so you could shoot an event all day in V-Log which is included, backwards compatible battery option, live streaming, improved menus, power delivery, better ibis, improved profiles, honestly, it’s a lot.
The improved auto focus is worth the purchase alone. The Red recording Bar around the Monitor is awesome. And that Anamorphic 6k Mode is just sick, wow!
A lot of stuff for a cheaper price than the GH5 on launch.
Loving the dance moves Chris! :D
Well done! I'll wait for the GH6 to see if my GH5 will be replaced. Hopefully the new camera will do 240fps in 1080p without quality loss!
Great vid guys! My biggest hope for the MK2 (or GH6) was for the ability to punch in to manually focus while recording... I haven't heard mention of it, but can you confirm if it's possible? Drives me crazy when trying to focus during a shot without an external monitor!
Yes it's really bad that Panasonic can't find a solution for this problem...
I purchased a GH5 II last week and it is awesome (coming from a Sony A6400 owner).
Thanks for publishing so many excellent camera reviews! I hope you might consider publishing a video that compares the Lumix G9 to the Lumix GH5m2, especially in terms of image quality and continuous AF (video and photos). This would be helpful for people using the Lumix G85 or Lumix G9 who are contemplating an upgrade within the Lumix micro-four-thirds family.
Which one do you prefer?
@@iamhiphopmagTV Lumix G9
Basically if you do a LOT of video, shortfilms (with manual focus) and love to take your camera on holiday for photos or videos (with a small footprint) that's perfect. It's a refreshed GH5 for those about to purchase one.
I noticed at 4:20 a slight hum in your audio. I've had the same issue with my Rode Wireless Go ii, still trying to find solutions to avoid it.
The internet likes to shit on pana but the footage looks great. Good upgrade imho.
Finally someone uses the camera for the review thanks.
thanks for video guys! good review
B R I L L I A N T - Thank You both for an excelent review of my new camera the GH5M2. Looking forward to having some fun producing short fillm videos. Cheers from Western Australia
That focus test dancing was so majestic
Hey guys. Would you please do a test to see whether the A7R3a has updated color science or autofocus as compared to the A7R3? Some might have the same question regarding the A7R4 and 4a, but the A7R3a is a much older model that would benefit more from the update. Thank you.
Sony's sensors were already almost as quiet as they are today (in the image-noise sense) by the time the one in the GH5 was released, so I'm not surprised that you don't see much difference against newer cameras. It simply isn't possible to do much better than that within the limits of an m43 sensor.
I think that also explains why we see the GH6 coming in at 5.7K. While it would be physically straightforward to engineer a higher-resolution m43 sensor, there just aren't enough photons to make it worthwhile. I think that the same reasoning applies to their decision to reserve the higher-dynamic-range VLogL version for the GH5s and BGH1 with their larger sensors. In order to extend the highlight DR beyond 81 IRE as they did in those cameras they'd have to decrease the gain, and that would increase shadow noise.
Also, adding more pixels to the sensor would make both it and the processor hotter and more power-hungry.
I've always adapted to M43 so I've never had AF nor do the lenses I have. So AF will never be a selling point to me. The IBIS is what was always so good on these cameras
Sweet upgrade. I am intending to but a GH5S this year and I hope there will be a Mark II version of the S before too long.
Lol at 11:08. Part of me thinks the anti reflective coating on the sensor is a nod to the Speedbooster + Sigma combo. I love that! I personally use the 10-25mm f/1.7. I'll upgrade to the GH5 II. GH6 is a bit too much camera for my needs. I am also getting the 25-50mm f/1.7 :)
Very very useful, thank you very much!
Can you check if the GH5 Mark2 is able to output HDMI and USCB while showing the image on the LCD screen? For example with the RS2 and a Ninja V or the Raveneye. Now I'm using the GH5 and as soon as I plug in the HDMI and the usbc the LCD Screen turns black. Would love to hear from you
I record all my daughters soccer games with a Fuji xt2 but the video recording limit is a pain ( I own the grip with batteries also) along with just wondering if I should get a more modern video/stills camera. Any thoughts appreciated. Thank you.🇨🇦
Thank you so much for true information ,I own gh4 and gh5 , the right advise to wait for gh6 . very informative. Specialy autofocus problems we face sometimes.Thanks
08:00 - 08:15 There is a constant flickering in brightness in the leafs at the top of the whole frame, also at 09:15. Any ideas what that might be?
This is a bigger update than I was expecting, honestly. If I owned a GH5, I wouldn't buy the GH5 II. But starting out, the GH5 II has a lot of neat upgrades that might be worth considering. Hopefully, it does cause the prices on the GH5 and the G9 to drop on the used market.
i have been advised to use this camera mounted to my windshield for in car video recording shots through the front windshield do you think it would work , you think the stabilisation would be good enough for that? thanks for any advice
Would this be a good option for wedding videographers? Generally will it stay locked on the couple if I use the autofocus?
That footage looks kickass
GH6 is out now and we just bought a GH5II because there are some amazing deals on that camera and it is basically insurance that it will be updated more in the future. We feel that we will purchase a GH6 when the used market becomes more saturated in 1 year or so when many will sell it because they found the GH6 too complicated and it just sat in their closets for 1 year. By then, we suspect prices will come down substantially to where it will be an exceptional value, not to say it isn't now but saving $1000 in business is well worth it on the balance sheet.
Really hope to see built in nd in the gh 6. Every camera gets outdated really fast, and very few competitors will add that feature in generalist photo cameras
I'm kind of curious now as to whether to go with the G9... Or a GH5 II. Don't get me wrong, I do like my G85, but it just doesn't cut it for longer exposures, as it doesn't take long to go from hot pixels to "bowl of skittles".
Same here let me know what you picked
3 minutes in and Chris doing his best Geraldundone impression modelling for the profiles 😂
Hi, Is worth to upgrade to GH5 2 or wait for GH6?
Can you put USB-C to AC for power and Battery inside while recording, then pull out the USB-C and continue shooting with the Battery inside the cam without a drop or cut?
Does this camera have an AC adaptor to attach to a wall port? Thanks
is the low light close to the gh5s at all? cause if it's using the gh5 sensor i'm not optimistic
I use a gh5 with a PL 14-140mm (lightning fast AFmotor) in daytime and a Sigma 16mm 1.4 in lowlight. So, I record in FHD, 50fps, one area, metering in the box, speed +2, sensitivity -2, contrasty profile. Pulling focus between near (1m) and far (100m) up and down I notice NO transitions whatsoever. Nothing organic/snappy, just in focus! In lowlight I really need to take notice of light and contrast or I am at risk that the AF loses it. I also noticed that I have fair range of in focus when in MF, starting with infinity. I can switch to AFC if something gets to close. If the AF goes AWOL, I have FCP 😊.
As for the mk2/gh6 the detection has improved, the basic AF just a notch. I don’t need to upgrade because I am more then happy with my gh5 .
I don’t think Pana promised us a one size fits all camera, so get to know your gear 😛
Final question; is there anyone out there who bought a Sony for its IBIS? 😉
"two zebras" "mating pair" you can hear Jordan trying not to laugh as he delivers this dad joke.
Does the screen still dim down when shooting video? I hate that. At least have a setting to turn that off...
Great job Jordan and Chris. I'm filling up my piggy bank now to buy me a monster!
I reeeaaaally want to see latency tested on common external monitors like the Feelworlds. I need to know if Panasonic fixed this, and if they did I am buying one now.
Nice video guys.
At 10:20 what is that "MM + 1 2/3" to the right of the aperture?
I assume Manual Metering, and it's measuring that it is 1 2/3 stops overexposed compared to what auto metering would give.
@@realpokski ah thank you!
Bought a G9 first, then GH5s. BOTH are fantastic.
You all keep sleeping on the G9, I'll buy another for cheap.
I’ve been noticing the G9 is the ultimate sleeper camera.
@@dannyfigs I'd love a g9 but as a total amateur i can't justify the upgrade over my g85, i feel like more experienced photo/videographers would just get a gh5
What type of lense should i use for photography? I am so confused
Fellow Albertans, you left one important thing out: Can the GH5II output in "6k" anamorphic mode to an external monitor when recording? In other words, is the HDMI-out now v2.1? On my GH5 I've had to resort to using an iPhone or iPad with Adam Wilt's FieldMonitor to be able to see what I'm shooting externally, not to mentioned de-squeezed. (The GH5's LCD will only de-squeeze 2x. Anything below that has to be set to "off", meaning a squeezed image on the LCD). Just to recap, the GH5 in open gate mode (6k) cannot output to an external monitor over HDMI. Have they fixed this with the GH5II? Cheers!
Coming for a GH4 this GH5M2 look a great upgrade! but saving for a GH6 I think is better jump to a BMPCC6KPro ate pretty much same price. Not blogger here! content creator. Any opinion?
So, does the low light improved?
how much shaking can a camera like this take? I ma a mountainbiker, and need a camera suitable for trail/nature photography Would it be fine to have it in a backpack while riding? I am looking for a camera most suitable to have with me at all times in my backpack.
Are lumix cameras the best for video?
the look on Jordan's face in the thumbnail is classic.
Which Powerbanks allow for charging while in use?
How about HDMI output lag in GH5 II ?
Hi, congratulations on your interesting video. I am an unfortunate owner of GH5. I would like improved continuous autofocus. Looking at the clips I cannot understand how much the GH II has improved the AF. Can you tell me if I replace the GH5 with the GH5 II can I really get an improvement in the continuous AF? How much has this newer GH5 improved? Thanks for your advice.
A lot, and shoot in the higher frame rates because the Auto Focus is really good at 30fps and 60fps
Можно ли в режиме ручного фокуса, увеличить изображение на дисплее, что бы проверить точность фокуса? Именно во время записи, как у камер Sony? Panasonic имеет помощь при ручной фокусировке, но как только мы нажимаем кнопку Rec, функция становится недоступной. Как сейчас с помощью при мануальном фокусе? В новой модели появилась возможность уточнить фокус во время записи посредством увеличения изображения на дисплее или касаясь экрана пальцами или назначаемой кнопкой? В инструкции, что я скачал, нет точного толкования. Только у практика можно узнать. Спасибо.
Does GH5ii have punch in focus assist while recording?
Hey guys thank for the reviews...im dancing between the gh6 which is out of my budget and overkill for my projects but screw it... its nice to have... and the the gh5 ii which covers all my needs or so i think. The major reason i am hesitatnt about the gh5 ii is whether or not it over heats... i record 4 - 6 hours at a time without stopping and i am more confident that the gh6 will hold up but not so sure about the gh5... will it overheat at 4- 6 hours in 4k 30fps?
The GH5M2 never overheats. You can run it all day and it'll be fine.
Can toy get it as video source wirelessly on obs?
I love your criterion tee ❤️👌
I am thinking about getting the gh5 II or the gh5s but for Video the specs seem really similar except that the gh5s has raw output through hdmi and better lowlight performance (the gh5s has no I.S. but i would use a gimbal for handheld). So whats really the difference between the gh5 II and the Gh5s?
Just low light performance, that's all.
Thank you, good info. The video quality of this video is looking pretty darn good to me, nice example of what that camera can do, wondering if you did much to it, or just straight out of camera? That letter "C" on your shirt - is that from the Commodore 64 days? ha ha... I'm an Atari guy so you are the enemy...LOL
What about low light sensitive? Any better than GH5?
Hii guys
Pls help me to choose a primary camera for weddings videos
Panasonic GH5 ii OR Sony alpha 7 M iii
The most interesting information in this video is that Chris got dat dance moves
Ahahahah
The focus hunting 😭😭😭 cries into my Sony
Honnestly wich is better for short movie and documentary gh5s or gh5 ii ?!!!
3:47 nope, the GH5S cannot shoot in 4k 60p 10 bit internally, it's the same as the GH5 in that regard.
The Legend GH5 just got better.
Yes, but actually no. You have to buy the GH5 mk2 to have all this new features, even just the UI ones...
They improved the GH5 when they need a GH6...
@@veganpotterthevegan Which has been announced at the same time
@@NeXMaX 🤦 they're selling one, and they announced the other is coming. Very different things. It's not like Nikon announcing and releasing the Z6ii and Z7ii at the same time
@@NeXMaX also, everyone knew they were working on a GH6, they didn't need to announce that
Hello, where is „extrenal teleconverter” function ? In GH5 it was possibility to use ex teleconverter in movies…..why GH5m2 dosent have ?
Don't hope for a raw output for the gh5 mk2. They made a whole new camera for couple of more features and other just UI related. They have to differentiate someway with the gh6
Maybe they will do it in two years with a fw upgrade...like always
Awesome & Thanks :)
My laptop is not playing my 4k video from panasonic s5 any idea what should I do ? My laptop is 360 HP Pavilion when I bought it it window 8 but now upgraded to window 10 . Is my computer old to edit 4k video from panasonic s5????
The bottleneck is the GPU of you laptop. VP9 decode support by integrated or dedicated graphic processor is needed to play smooth 4K video.
@@dfu3053 thank you , I learn a lot from your Chanel.
@@dfu3053 I bought the laptop on ebay and I am waiting for it and information of the computer is Dell Inspiron 7559 4K TOUCH i7-6700HQ 16GB 128GB SSD & 1TB GTX960M GAMING LAPTOP. Do you think this computer will allow me edit 4k video?
Does it have only 11.5 stops of Dynamic Range??
Hi, Panasonic GH5 II PDF brochure states "unlimited video recording on all settings with an asterisk:
*On condition that the camera is under the environment where the operation is guaranteed and is running on the battery. Recording time depends on the capacity of the battery and the SD Memory Card. Recording may stop in C4K/4K 60p/50p 10-bit and Anamorphic mode automatically to protect the camera. What?!?! I thought GH5/GH5 M2 have NO recording limits. Can someone please clarify. This is a huge dealbreaker for me.
Dumb Dumb, that's what Unlimited means, unlike Over HEATING Sony that gives you 15 to 20 minutes of 4k regardless of how much record time or battery time you have left, its going to shut off! Panasonic cameras are not going to shut off until your card fills up or your battery runs out, that's UNLIMITED RECORDING!!
What a legacy has Panasonic with this Lumix G series. Incredible the GH5 just got better
AF looks pretty usable. Skintones - great
im quite surprised to see Jordan and Chris here after being out of the " camera review " scene for quite some years and What happen to the camera store TV
Honestly its a good 'new' camera for the people getting into the video scene. Current gh5 users should definitely wait for gh6 though.
The product developer in me says reinvent the camera. No back lcd, no viewfinder. Henceforth a separate device on a cord you put on your head in front of one or two eyes. Place the camera anywhere and control from the comfort of your electric sofa as you look for that perfect shot.
The camera body is stripped of all buttons as everything goes on to a handheld device, or a full body suit. Bring a six axis robot arm placing the camera precisely right. Your private chauffeur who is a rental from the scenic service provider loads on and off from the eighteen wheeler. For you are worth it it
Maybe limiting the shutter to 1/60 would allow the af system 2x the frames even in 30p
The Cinelike D2 looks amazing!
it is not!
@@SuperSuperka it’s not the only option. You can choose the one you prefer.
10:11 CLICK the JOYSTICK Chris!!!! lol
Came to youtube to watch the Panasonic release event, but saw this in my feed...will choose this instead
release event was waste of time this is much better
Good replacement for my GH4 cam. now my kit is gh5 and gh5m2
Jordan rocking the criterion logo on his shirt. For those in the know.
Thank you great vlog :) Im still rocking the G9, I'm so excited for the release of the GH6.
I find the quality of the recording not so good. More like upscaled 4k. Is it me or youtube quality?
Probably because they were out of focus many times...
So a tock update for the gh5 series. Got it.
I shot my last short films on my channel with the GH5. The lowlight, as you can see in some of my shots, aren't that incredible, but you can be the judge yourself.
Apparently the lowlight on the GH5 II isn't that great either, so I guess I'll wait for the GH6 :((
