First impressions of GH5 are very good. The skin tones out of the box are such an improvement over the GH4 in both Cine D and Standard they look better than the GH2! They just look right. The stabilisation is astonishingly good, even with manual lenses. 10 bit unfortunately isn't playable in Quicktime yet, Premiere currently opens the 10bit files but crashes straight away when attempting to play them, FCPX plays them although quite stuttery until transcoded. Certainly think its less noisy in dark areas. 10 bit grades very very well in FCPX - you can add tonnes of saturation until it starts to break up. Tests to come. Apple and Adobe just need to do some updating methinks.
Finally the GH5 pre-order has arrived. Made some early test images:
It appears you can now combine Ex. Tele with VFR, but only up to a maximum of 135fps. On the GH4 the two modes were mutually exclusive.
So with the 2.7x 1080p crop this would morph the PL100-400 into a 540-2160mm equiv optic, recordable at up to 4.5x slow motion.
anybody noticed that the GH5 uses 200Mbit in UHD 24p 4:2:2 setting?
@fahrenheit Presuming that one decides to use the PL100-400 on the GH5 at say 2160mm (with ETC) for video, do you know if the stabilisation takes a bit of a hit at that length ? I seem to recall something about stabilisation dropping off at certain lengths for video, I'm not sure about still. I might be wrong??

Good one:
Incredible, look like very filmic and near to Ursa in this microtest.
Auto Focus as expected ):
I got my GH5 a few days ago and I can say that the autofocus is absolutely positively unbelievable. The problem is that all of the videos I have seen so far are doing it wrong. For now I will leave it at that. You have to watch my video in a couple of days to see what works and what doesn't.
I am selling off all of my other cameras now that I have the GH5. There is no need for any other camera now. The GH5 does everything I will ever need a camera to do.
