No stabilization would be a bit of a bummer, but I believe in Panasonic and them giving us the best camera they can for the money. Still am in love with my GH4.

A few years ago everyone complained that they purposely crippled the gh1, gh2, gh3. Then the Gh4 blew that argument sky high. I'm very excited for the Gh5. Ibis or no, it is a worthy upgrade just from what has been shared so far.

The Newshooter video that @MikeLinn posted is very intriguing - especially the information that even the GH5 prototype that looked complete is also a mockup. And the refuse of all of them to comment anything except the already published info (basically, video modes) made me think that Panasonic was surprised by the movements of their competitors and started almost from scratch. They refuse to say the sensor's resolution, the sensor's size, anything.

I guess that the image pipeline is ready, but IBIS, sensor, EVF and other things are in a change process, or already in evaluation. Remembered me the first Pentax K-1 mockup.

Our friend @driftwood is in the video, but I guess that he could not supply any more information. :)

Perfect card to pair with your future 4K 60fps Panasonic GH5:

VK: Changed link to PV, as we already have this info.

I have an odd question. If we wanted a GH4 that could shoot 10-bit, we'd have had to invest in a YAGH or an external recorder. And with the GH5, we get 10-bit internal, but not in 60fps mode.

So these external accessories might offer some really great potential. Any word on this potential?

We were for PV at the Photokina. I had an interview at Panasonic with Neil Lloyd-Meek from Panasonic England, who is a trainer for the sales people. The video of the interview will come. He repeated exactly what was said on the Press conference and to every other question regarding GH5 or anything going further of the Lumix system he said that he simply does not know it. He or they could not even say the planned month when the GH5 shall be available.

I also met Nick Driftwood who said, and I belive it, he knows more but he can not say more due to his contract. Seems to be a high fine on him if he says something and belive me, I tried. What he DID say was, the the community will be very happy with the final result of the GH5 and that Panasonis does read very attentively Personal view and other forums to see what is demanded by the users. My "personal view" is, that the final list of the features of the GH5 is not finished and not decided and that they only published the specs that they are 100% sure that they can and will implement in the GH5 and that they see what else they can fit in.

One more word about Nick Driftwood: For the forum, he seems to be on the "other" side, but for Panasonic he is still the "hack guy" and whenever something leaks out, he is still the first suspect for Panasonic.

And directly to Panasonic: No, Nick did not say anything more than what has been published before dring the Panasonic Press conference.

Yesterday presentation recording

@davedv

We had similar discussion already as I remember.

I think part can come from multi aspect sensor. And other part from marketing.

Top Panasonic guy said that 6K is between 4K and 8K. And 8K must be present at least in one camera and one TV at 2020, this is how leaders said.

So, all this strange "6K" weird mode "was marketing decision" (c) GC

Pretty impressive specs the GH5 has.

If only the Panasonic HC-X1 and he UX180 was going to have a 10 bit 4:22 recording mode as well. I mean if a still camera can have it, why can't a a couple of professional camcorders?

The pre-presentation was a teaser for sure.

The press text also says "The name '6K PHOTO' is tentative. " so marketing has gone bananas I presume. Since things don't seem to add up.

Since 4:2:2 10 bit codec was rumored from before, the only real news was the body design (only as "mockup" I presume).

I'm personally sad to see that the internal flash has gone since that makes under water photos with external TTL flash sync more difficult/impossible.

The good thing is the possible return of the multi aspect ratio sensor, which will make wide angle shoots wider than before on the GH4. I shoot a lot of video with the GH3/GH4 under water with fisheye or 7-14 mm lenses.

(Might be blocked in certain teritories because of music use.)

1080p 12bit 4:4:4 would be nice as well let's make it happen Panasonic you can do it. Does any one else think it would be a nice addition?

Let's test what you guys know about HDR video, that is the single exposure version that relies on the dr of said exposure. Vlog-l just does not cut it for HDR.

What kind of vlog will the gh5 bring us

Sorry for the off-topic, but did Nick say anything bout Moon T9? :)

You see, @Walkaboutcamera the majority of ppl on this site are interested in things that actually work. If you have some useful information to share, we welcome it! Put some examples online and we can take a look at it.
When you post "Tron failed the test" or "hint v-log-l only does 4 1/3 stops over 18% grey", speaking for myself, I can't see how to use this information, and, also, I need a few good work examples to show that it is worth my time and effort to try it.
