Another tool in my arsenal

Just to add some background I currently have the GH4 and GH5 and use them to shoot a variety of things - I mainly shoot weddings and these little cameras excel at that. Before buying it, I already knew about the lack of IBIS, so this did not become an obstacle for me like others, and I still have Gh5. However, the Gh5s are a great addition to my Panasonic fleet! Anyone who owns an MFT camera knows and has to contend that low-light photography is nearly impossible—unless you bring LED lighting, of course. Introducing a slightly wider sensor and improved magic, this Gh5s excels in low light. The build looks identical to the Gh5 and the field of view looks slightly larger when using my Metabones and 18-35 Sigma Art 1.8. For those of you who already own the gh5, this is NOT a replacement - this camera is just another tool to add to your arsenal. However, it's a great camera to replace the Gh4 if you already own one. I also like the inclusion of VLOG, which is already installed on this camera - it allows me to play around with this video setup before attempting to purchase it for my Gh5. this has to do with the size of the sensor - in my honest opinion the gh5s shows warmer colors compared to the gh5 - gh4 and gh5 batteries and accessories work with the gh5s - the batteries last almost completely on a single charge compared to the gh5 so far I had no problems with this camera - I will update this review when needed!
