GH5 Panasonic camera, from anticipation to love or hate

  • I dont understand how 180fps can be better when used with 50/60P mode. Does the 50/60P has "longer GOP" than 24P? It would then need less bitrate for same quality.

  • @Vitaliy It's universal but isn't each code tied to the serial number of the camera? So we have to buy one code for each of gh4-gh5-fz2500 ,right?

    @EspenB Look at this picture, it's the exact same DJI Zenmuse, the difference is that on the left it's a render DJI used to illustrate and it actually looks either like a MAR or a 3:2 sensor, on the right you have the picture of the real camera. So that's why people already told you that pictures don't mean much and far from being an evidence as opposed to official Panasonic people saying it's not.

  • @theSUBVERSIVE No plot. Sensor just seems bigger in pictures. :-p

    Why the heck should Panasonic use marketing material where the sensor size is grossly excaggerated? Rendered or not.

  • EspenB No, he said 1,89x and it was a trivia sent by his friend to say that with focal reducer it would have the same crop as some RED camera and later he said that he didn't really have such info from Panasonic, that it wasn't MAR.

    And again, why would Panasonic hide such feat? It would make all sorts of people happy about less crop, it would be good marketing actually. It doesn't make any sense to have it and keep lying about not being multi-aspect. You are trying to build a very unlikely and complicated plot to justify a MAR when the reality is much simpler.

  • Still @driftwood proclaimed a 1,86x crop in Cinema 4K mode. :p

  • That's most likely a rendering of the GH5, not an actual photo of an actual cam. Which is exactly what someone responded to your same post on EOSH.D with.

    Give it up, it's not MAR.

  • To beat a dead horse: Still the GH5 sensor looks larger.

  • That 180FPS "Bored" clip looks amazing! I am super stoked about this more than ever! The airdancer 180fps clip looks like it wasn't interpreted/processed properly. "Bored" video looks crazy sharp for 1080 and free of aliasing! Not only does it looks sharp, but micro contrast and skin tones remind me of much higher end cinema cameras - though some of it comes down to the glass that they used - but nevertheless, put some decent glass on GH5 and incredible slow-mo!

  • Panasonic always states that they are listening to their customers. But does anyone know how to actually place a wish with them? I really really wish, they would make their promise true, to be able to sync external audio recorder. But for this, the GH5 would need LTC (timecode) in over the mic jack and out over the headphone jack. Now how to tell this Panasonic?

  • I also have enough of exposure...

  • @Vesku, I had enough of the "exposure thing"... have no need for such a feature and I think Panasonic should put the effort in other areas. :)

  • Pleas agree and support this exposure feature need so that Panasonic will fix it and we can then forget it:)

  • As I suggested before, its better to do some courses in basic video shooting.

  • Almost every site I go to Vesku is going on about exposure. It must really be important to him. I don't use my cameras in this manner so it is hard for me to understand its importance.

  • @Vesku

    Sorry. This was feature info of GH5. Not many are reading my exposure topic.

    All who care are reading. I fully understand your position and wish for such features, yet it does not help if you push too much and mention it too frequently.

  • Also 1080p 30 shows aliasing but not as severe as the 180fps mode. It seems that for anything quality you need to stick to 4k just like in the GH4. Seems the higher you go on the frame rate at 1080p the more aliased it becomes. Color moire makes a big appearance also. To be expected but a clear improvement over the Gh4's 96fps which was aliased 720p at best. Thanks J_Cooks and Griffin!

  • Lots of aliasing in this 180fps example. Not very sharp either.
