GH5 Panasonic camera, from anticipation to love or hate

Tron

For anyone currently using Honu cages with their GH3s or GH4s, I asked Kamerar if they would consider making a new replacement top plate that could be used with the GH5 and XLR hotshoe adapter. I will keep you posted as to what I hear back from them.

ETA - Just heard back from tech support, no plans to modify the cage for the GH5 + XLR adapter.

@Driftwood -

Heres a little bit of trivia... Bit of trivia... Panny GH5 in 4k DCI has a 1.89x crop factor.

Doesn't this suggest a MAR sensor?

Sage

++ That would certainly fit with the idea of the C4K 4096 pixels across..

Eno

I love the high ISO capability of this camera and how the noise is handled like fine grain

This is a real photo of the camera taken by: http://www.photographyblog.com/news/panasonic_gh5_hands_on_photos_final_production_version/

Can anybody specifically ask Nick if the camera has or has not a MAR sensor inside?

Back on chat in an hour.

@driftwood

that is the exact same size sensor of the GH2 so is multiaspect.

Vesku

Someone with a GH5?

Is it showing all exposure values when using video modes A,S,P and auto iso. GH4 and all other Panasonic camera are not showing all automatic exposure values.

GH5 has finally auto iso in M with EV comp in video, maybe they corrected showing exposure values too.

I asked these questions in the Chat this afternoon along with a couple of related others. Hopefully @driftwood can provide the answers as provided.

Not sure what's happening with the chat as it seems to be ongoing still, but rejoining you cannot see any of the previous messages so unsure if @driftwood has answered any questions while members are active in the chat?

I think the sensor is not MAR.

I think the sensor is larger because sensor stabilization needs sensor area at sides and below/above.

It's IBIS, not EIS. No extra pixels are needed.

Long-GOP is IPB.

Intraframe is being added via firmware later in the year.

@driftwood confirms sensor "seems wider". :-p

hampuslager

I just want to know how the AF and face/object tracking is compared to dual pixel AF on Canons? This is the only thing holding me back right now before pulling the trigger for a 1DX mkII.

I asked several times in the chat, but a couple of people are spamming their questions over and over hogging the entire chat -_-

@eno Sensor seems wider than 4/3 because it is wider.

Now we can speculate about Panasonic not utilizing that extra width in regular photo and video modes.

Just C4K gets a extra width...

kellar42

My biggest question right now is how first generation 12-35 and 35-100 lumix lenses will perform with the in body IS.

EspenB

Sorry I messed up that picture. Its not correct. My bad.

@hampuslager I asked him the same question in the first chat. His reply was "BPope23 I would say yeah. And you can buy a few GH5s for the price of that baby!"
