I am dissatisfied with the product, there are no positive qualities.

glass watering can 12-60 bought to take pictures on the machine. so that the pictures are better than on the iphone and my old canon 350d in fact, on the machine, the pictures are blurry and noisy. It's like taking a picture with a flip phone. I'm sure that you can get a good picture if you conjure over each frame for a long time with the settings and then with the processing - but I need the automatic mode to just work no worse than on the phone. or better than on a budget camera from the last

Pros
  • viewfinder is bright. video shoots well. photos taken outdoors during the day in good light are highly detailed. it's great that you can take widescreen photos and not 4: 3
Cons
  • in automatic mode, there are simply no photos. A\Ai\Ai+ on AI and AI + photos are processed by wonderful artificial intelligence. the photos show unfamiliar places and unfamiliar people with smooth skin. as if they had just escaped from the instagram. shooting in low or artificial lighting is a pain. very bad quality. I don't like focusing in the viewfinder. some kind of squares and not points. I didn’t understand how to focus on the pupil of a person from 5-7 meters. focus square on the floor of the face and a focus point will appear anywhere. a bunch of automation that decides for you how to spoil the frame.

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

A workhorse with great features. I've been using it for over a year and love it. The picture, of course, is not as voluminous as on the FF, but for weddings, this is for the eyes. I definitely recommend buying.

Pros
  • Weight, ergonomics, features, picture, DD on the post and much more
Cons
  • The stub could be better, even on the G80 the stub is already better than on the GH5. About competitors like Olympus in this sense, you can not even compare. And of course the menu, in which every time is like the first time, to find something to spend 1000 calories on the brain.

Perfect product for any user!

A smart device for video, for a photo I have a7p2 Here I shot it on the GH5, Canon 135 2.0 and Panasonic 42.5 mm 1.2 lenses ? v=qhsSvI8vhQ4

Pros
  • 4k60 (so far no one shoots this in this segment) Stabilization (although I mostly shoot on a steadicam) Stretching image in the editor Excellent colors, on Sony a little less like Swivel screen, can be used on steadicam without screen Compact + small optics Canon lenses work fine through metabons, crop is no longer 2 Feels great in the hands, I want to shoot 2 memory cards Price You can take photos)
Cons
  • Matrix size, but enough for video More noise, but at 1600 I don’t remember when I pressed Focus, even after the ate is not usable Metabons expensive 4k60 only 8 bits The photo is mediocre, but with skillful hands it’s quite

The right product for me, the price suited me.

I perceive it more like a video camera than a camera. Pictures can be taken, but apparently, they focused on video. Many shooting modes, there is a matrix stabilization. It was because of the stabilization that he took it. Previously, you had to use a gimbal and a tripod, now with this camera there is no need to use them. I took it for shooting videos, including for YouTube. And then I ran into the following problem - this is an absolutely unreliable autofocus. When you shoot a video of…

Pros
  • Many video shooting modes and different bitrates: - 4K 60fps - 1080 180 fps - video hyperlapse mode - 6K video (no sound) - there are V-Log, HLG profiles that increase the dynamic range of the camera. - 4:2:2 in 10 bits; and much more. Excellent matrix stabilization; Shoots video in H265 (HLG mode), which allows you to significantly save space on your hard drive (only 4k 24 or 25fps) 4K shoots without crop Convenient menu, many different buttons that can be easily reassigned.
Cons
  • Autofocus is bottom. Better than my previous G7, but still bad. He cannot be trusted. I installed the latest firmware, but it did not improve the situation much. Focus peaking is contrasting, it seemed to me not convenient, there were misses. Heavy and big. The same G9 with the same characteristics is lighter and smaller. In terms of size and weight, this Panasonic is like a SLR. Poor quality SlowMotion (180fps) The only shooting mode in the H265 is HLG. Crop factor 2 is often inconvenient and imposes many restrictions. A lot of noise in lowlight (you can set an ico3200 limit and use fast optics) Low dynamic range.

Nice price, good quality.

In general, I am satisfied with the camera. Very accurately conveys color and allows you to correct it. Haven't filmed much yet. The camera is not simple. Before that, I used Canon Mark 2. Of course, I'm amazed at how much technology has jumped forward in this camera. Got pros: The camera was taken exclusively for video. Matrix stabilization and electronic stabilization work wonders, 4k 60fps fulhd 180fps Well made, swivel screen, 2 slots for flash drives, a lot of fine video settings, the…

Not my best purchase, you could have found something else.

5. The stabilizer was touted here, and it's really good, but! I note the shaking of the picture in the following conditions: static shooting from a monopod + 4K 50fps + 12-35 power OIS (all stabilization except electronic is included). When viewed on a large monitor, constant shaking is visible. Note: at the time of shooting, the firmware was not the latest, and electronic stabilization was also turned off. Also, there may be a problem with the carcass itself or the lens. I will test on the new

Pros
  • All the main advantages have already been described. But for some reason, there is not enough information on the shortcomings. Knowing them, I would hardly take this camera.
Cons
  • 1. The main thing - it is IMPOSSIBLE to use the Magnify mode when recording is on. Before you start recording - please, but if the subject has moved and you need to refocus, then stop recording, zoom in and continue. And if it's impossible, if it's a reportage? How to focus something? Just don't talk about Peaking - it works according to the contrast principle, and being guided by it, you can generally think that the focus is on the striped wall behind, and not on the person. Both levels of picking - and both are not usable. And so on all cameras: peaking can only help in some ideal conditions, or for those who see poorly - to at least somehow bring focus. Accurately direct - you can only with an increase. It is perfectly done in this camera, you can choose the scale, you can expand it to full screen, but . Only not when recording. Since you can't rely on autofocus either, all that's left is an external monitor. Which also does not fit, because what's the point then in a mirrorless camera in general, what kind of compactness are we talking about then? Interestingly, this feature is almost never written about. I found something not on the 2022-speaking Internet, and even that is not enough. In a7s2, a6500 - everything worked when recording too. 2. There is no possibility of fixing autoexposure. More precisely, it is, but only if the aperture or shutter speed is in auto mode. And if they are in manual mode, and in auto only ISO - then that's it. For some reason, auto-ISO does not count as auto-exposure! Although no, it is considered - because the exposure compensation wheel can still be used! That is - one thing can be done, and the other - no. What is the logic? 3. To set the minimum and maximum ISO limit, you need to go to the menu. Neither in the quick menu, nor on the buttons, nor even on the quick tabs - this can not be displayed. In addition, the adjustment steps are 200, 400, 800 . And if you need a smaller step, what should you do? 4. A bunch of custom buttons, but none of them can be switched between manual and autofocus. Only a lever. Although, given that autofocus is still almost useless, that's okay .

The best thing I've ever used, a great item for everyone!

Anyway, the camera is very good and I am very happy with the purchase. Having received it at my disposal, for the first time I felt myself, albeit only in part, but a video filming professional. Pros: + Shooting 4K at 50-60 fps; + 4:2:2 10-bit video recording; In fact, the camera has a lot of advantages: there is good stabilization and a powerful cooling system that allows the GH5 to work with high-quality video, but many of these things are found in lower-priced cameras, such as the Lumix…

Best price for this product, will buy more!

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…

Perfect product for any user!

Here they write all sorts of things that make a lot of noise. And I see that these are Sonyovods, which, in principle, do not shoot below ISO6400, but they don’t even know that you can open the hole and make the shutter speed more authentic) Yes, with a 5.6 whale lens, all cameras except Sonya will make noise. But I almost never encounter situations when you can rise above 3200. Buy a fix 1.4 and shoot even at night. If you want to be in the forest at night - buy a Voitlander 0.95)) Filmmakers…

Pros
  • Dualstab (when the stabilizer in the lens works together with the matrix one) is just a mega thing. You can shoot very cool things right from your hands. 10bit without recorders directly to a flash drive. Ergonomics. Well, very convenient. Everything is at hand, excellent grip, cool screen and a very convenient viewfinder. iPhone among cameras for video. (a stone in the garden of dormouse). Great codec The picture is super. The cineV profile allows you to get a ready-made juicy movie picture directly from the camera, and cineD gives you the opportunity to pull out everything possible on the post. LOG (paid) 4k 60fps 180 fps in fulashdie 2 flash drives Dust and moisture protection Living battery.
Cons
  • Would cost as gh4.) Dear daddy.

I definitely recommend buying, I didnt notice any disadvantages.

Its pros: Almost perfect for shooting video for your money. I especially liked the quality of stabilization. I shoot without a steadicam, which is very convenient and pleasant With its cons. Only a full frame is missing, but this is a different price category.

An ideal product for any type of consumer.

I've been waiting for a camera like this for years, I didn't expect Panasonic to release a 4K/60fps camera with such incredible image quality and stabilization. Not a single penny wasted. I use the second year. For the pros, perhaps the model with the S index is more interesting, because. there is a larger matrix, but there is no stub and everything is even worse with a photo.

Pros
  • - The best price / quality ratio of the available models 4k 60 frames. - For amateur shooting, this model is better than 5S, because it has a matrix stub, It allows you to shoot handheld (lens stabilization helps) - Very good viewfinder, I hardly use the screen - Very comfortable grip and weight. - The ergonomics of the buttons as you like, suits me, - Menus and settings are the best I've seen - Two memory cards - Excellent battery life (guaranteed to last all day) - through an inexpensive adapter (Viltrox ef-m1) I use all my Kenon lenses, autofocus, aperture and stabilizer work ! - good built-in microphone - about the noise. you need to fix the maximum ISO if you shoot on the machine (it's in the settings), the noise itself is not a problem, if it occurs - Highlights/colors/shadows stretch perfectly in editors - Lights and shadows can be compressed directly when shooting, setting the curvature of the graph - ranges of shutter speeds / degrees / ISO, etc.
Cons
  • - expensive native optics, while it does not really shine. Saved by Sigma. - with the screen on, the battery dies twice as fast - photo - not the brightest function of this device, but quite decent quality. - quite "fancy" to quickly understand the functions. - we have quite expensive batteries in 2022, although in other countries they are of average cost - you can not directly connect a power bank, but there are Chinese adapters for this. - if it does not have time to write to a slow card, it just throws out some photos - there used to be a problem with autofocus, now there are many ways to solve it
