Review on PANASONIC LUMIX GH5 Body, Black Camera: A Powerful Visual Experience by Haraki Itsuki ᠌

Got it for the video. As for the photo, it is weak, especially with moving objects, but I will try to adapt - taking gh5 with me is much more convenient than 5dmIII, especially with 24-70. But if you do not have an urgent need for a video - I would not advise anyone to take it. I hope micro 4/3 will develop. Has pros: Pros: - excellent stabilizer - shot handheld on the GH5 + 12-35 II version - in general, very worthy, especially considering the cramped conditions - I wouldn't even fit there with ronin; - convenient rotary screen; - auto-switching screen - viewfinder by sensor (albeit consuming additional energy); - shoots video well, many settings, you can buy Vlog; - although the carcass itself is quite heavy (almost like a DSLR), the lenses weigh incomparably less; - many settings, each button can be customized for yourself, for almost any function; - hints in the menu - when you click on Disp, a brief hint appears that this or that item knows - because of the heap of settings (about 140) it is quite useful at least at first; - the course of the focusing ring and the zoom ring at native 12-35 is rather short and smooth, confident - you can easily do everything you need manually and quite smoothly in half a turn; - taking into account the crop factor, you can get very telephoto lenses with minimal dimensions, especially if you use rings (compare a 400 mm lens for FF and 200 for 4/3); - the battery lasts for 2 hours of video in 4K +/- a few minutes; Some cons: Minuses: - working ISOs up to 3200 - further noise is noticeable strongly (on my DSLR 5dmIII up to 6400 it shoots perfectly without grain, at 12800 it is tolerable. 12800 on my canon is like 3200 on gh5); - photos are an order of magnitude worse than on my DSLR (5dmIII) - focus is slower, colors are more dirty; - incomprehensible problems with RAW - neither PS nor LR RW2 can fully understand - despite the latest version of CameraRaw it does not allow editing XA and lens vignetting - it writes a built-in profile, but there are no changes at all with or without them; - RAW adjustments from Panasonic allow you to do less than with canon - fought over skin colors for a long time, could not be reduced like on canon - plasticity of RW2 is worse than CR2; - a very high price for both the carcass and lenses, despite the fact that if Canon L-ki serve for years and are in demand, it is not clear what will happen next with micro 4/3; - many settings - brevity - the sister of talent - right there you really need to flip through the instructions and more than once: I bought it and everything is intuitively clear - there is no such thing; - in different modes, different functions do not work - it's terrible when you need some function, but the menu item is not active, and the camera does not tell you that it works in such and such a mode - you have to look in the manual (in what mode is it you can enable) or use the search on the Internet; - it's not convenient to take a photo while shooting a video - it would be logical (sometimes necessary) to take out a button for quick photography while shooting a video, so as not to shake the camera, reaching out to press the shutter release, especially since a mirrorless camera should shoot without problems so that you don't have to video pull pictures); - the location of the lens is such that when the camera is on the table, it rests on its far edge (the bottom of the camera is approximately 0.5 cm lower than the lowest point of the lens), and with a battery grip, falls on the lens or back on the screen - very unstable; - to shoot video in 4K with a bit rate above 150 mb / s, you need expensive UHS-II cards
