Johnnie: The original GH5 was a legendary camera that offered filmmakers a lot for a very competitive price. Where do you see the strength and positioning of the new GH5 II?

Yamane-san: The strengths of GH5 II are video functions, live streaming function, and reliability. Cinema 4K 60P 4:2:0 10 bit recording is realized, and V-log L is also pre-installed so that it can be used even in professional settings. In addition, it is also equipped with L. Classic Neo and L. Monochrome S, which were first installed in Cinelike D2, V2, and S5, and it possesses high quality even when shooting without post-production. Furthermore, we will meet the growing demand for live streaming by a new wireless live streaming function installed for easily performing live streaming with high image quality. On top of inheriting the DNA of the GH5, it is equipped with a USB charging/power supply function (Power delivery compatible) that supports long-term shooting in addition to unlimited video recording time. It inherits the shooting assist functions of our full-frame camera S1H and is a camera that is closely supporting creators.

Quick summary for non-russian speaking people?

DR is actually same as Panasonic G9

Look the updates that the MK II have, and see if they are useful. The MK II have Vlog installed, the first model you will have to pay - but only if you will really use log.

I liked the new features of the the MK II, but the value difference is only useful if they make a difference to you. The image quality is the same in both cameras (except the 4k60, MK II could be a little better).

(One more point: looks like that the MK II have a new chipset - the same of the FF ones - and theoretically could receive more firmware updates on the future. But it is not certain)
