Review on 📷 Panasonic LUMIX GH5 - 4K Digital Camera with 20.3MP, 5-Axis IS, and 10-Bit Video" by Alfred Friedrich

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The camera is amazing but BUYER BEWARE!

I love this camera. Stabilization has changed the way I shoot weddings. It's very nice to use a 70-200mm lens on a wedding toast monopod. Dual card slot is great. When a card ends, it switches to the next. I haven't played in variable frame rate for slow motion or 4:2:2, but it's the most exciting thing I've had from a camera since I first got my GH1 years ago. So how can I rate it so highly with my rank? Well, my warning, this is not a defect with the camera, but rather with the seller on Revain. Look, I've ordered four Gh5s through Revain. It clearly states the US version. The problem was that out of the four I ordered, only one was the US version. The others were Great Britain, Canada and Australia. Usually I didn't care. In fact, this is the same camera, except for one big difference. If you look at your manual, the other country versions state that the warranty is only valid in those other countries. This basically means these versions are no longer under warranty in the US. Love the camera again, but CHECK THE MANUAL! Check the second page of the manual to determine which country your camera is intended for, or the contents of the manual to determine which region the limited warranty applies to. In my experience, you have a good chance of getting a non-US version with no absolute guarantees, and if you don't check now you might not find out until it's too late.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
