@ Vitaliy Bah Humbug!

Of course they will meet all our wishes and come out with at least three new features we never thought of and do it for less money than the GH4 cost when it was released and if you are lucky you may find one under your Christmas Tree.

The GH5 will shoot in the dark or directly into the Sun.

We will be able to use the new top dial to choose 8-80MP from the new round Organic Sensor that fills the entire MFT mount.

It will have clean, native 8 to 80,000 ISO.

Max resolution stills can be shot at 60fps

You will be able to take stable pictures and videos by hand while walking without a rig.

All dials and buttons are completely programmable.

You may dial in any crop you want.

You can choose how much DOF you want and isolate a subject from any distance.

The 4 inch fully articulating monitor has 4k resolution and can be used in the sun.

You can choose a focus point anywhere with a touch and the camera will accurately follow someone or something with perfect focus and color when set for stills or Video.

The GH5 will have a much faster 12 core processor.

Everything runs so efficient that the GH5 produces almost no heat and runs for hours on one small battery.

Well, maybe in 2026 with a GH10 and with equivalent dollars. Dream on.... and please go back to Speculating on what we will actually see next year.

They are talking speculation about the specs of the GH5. It's more like a wish list, it's interesting enough but there's no inside information here.

Two of the only things I care about would be better low light performance and internal IBIS.

I'm quite often forced to use 3200 or 6400 and then neat video to help clean it. Neat video's sole purpose is to save the footage so it becomes watchable, doesn't make it look great at all. It's not a matter of fast glass at this point as I'm shooting at 1.2 / 1.4 and it's no fun trying to keep subjects in focus.

Wow. They couldn't even use spellcheck. If you're taking the time to trick people at least proof read.

Probably bullshit, although they may have gone the JVC road... (which would be pretty cool to be honest)

Interesting and expensive. Some questions: Does APSC Sensor mean, that the m4/3 lenses do not fit any more? What is ISO 50 - 1,04,800? 4:4:4 10 bit internal?

It leaves the classical GH price segment to compete with the A7s, D7 and D5 Mark III etc., at least pricewise.

Although Nikon might acquire some of Samsung's technology, I am sure they are not interested in the camera division. Merging the Panasonic camera division would be a better fit as they are both Japanese companies. However, rumors will continue and we have little else to talk about until the next camera release

I sent back my A7sII because the 1080P120 was so poor in low light due to the 2.2 crop. All my Videos are in poor/low light. At the necessary 8,000 ISO you can barely see the image thru all the moire. Reminds me of LA on a smoggy 1962 day when I could not see across the street clearly.

There were other reasons as well that I went back to my A7s for low light Video. Internal 4k would overheat the camera and not as good as the external recording. The new body is NOT more ergonomic for my use. The locking mode dial is a hindrance to quick changes. IBIS is of no use on my TriPod. Both dials do the same thing and buttons are not fully programmable. Adding menu items only makes it more confusing and slower to change set ups. Still no touch screen and it does not pivot out like the GH4. When you add most FullFrame lens the A series camera are bigger and heavier than the GH4

The GH4 is still better in every way except low light performance. Unless that is fixed in the GH5, I will have to pass.

Not at all. My projects are all DCI 4k for projection. AS7 II doesn't have it. If it did, I'd have one. Even then I would light my scenes.

@GeoffreyKenner In that case then I defiantly fall until the run and gun category. I agree in a controllable situation there is nothing lacking in the GH4.

I have 3 GH4s and a great selection of lenses which I love but am awfully frustrated with the low light performance and not having IBIS. I was never interested in the A7S because of the lack of internal 4K recording but now with version two it's looking more like the perfect camera to have in that price range.

While it's a strong possibility that a GH5 would have IBIS, I just can't see the low light performance coming anywhere close to good enough. Even a clean 6400 ISO would be far below what the A7S II is able to do. I was excited for the DVX200, I love the form but the low light performance is a joke.

Do any other GH4 owners envy the newly released A7S II?

You are sorta right. Maybe I should ask for clean 12,800? Then maybe I could get 6400.

Because the GH4 cannot produce clean Video at high ISO, I am forced to use an A7s. Nearly all my Video is taken in poor/low light at 6400 ISO.

I am aware of the limitations of a MFT Sensor and that is why I keep suggesting a new low megapixel s35 Sensor (optimized for 4k low light video) with MFT mount for the GH5.
