When TrustedReviews reviewed the , it was the first compact system camera to include 4K video capture at a time when 4K displays weren't particularly prevalent. Nowadays, that's changed and 4K/Ultra HD televisions are far more readily available – and at a price that doesn't require you to take out a...

While the last couple of GH-series cameras have felt a little like video cameras masquerading as stills camera, the Panasonic Lumix GH5 is a much more rounded piece of kit. The video specification and capabilities offered are still impressive – this is certainly one of, if not the best 4K camera...

Brilliant video specification; Large and bright EVF; Touchscreen interface; Durable build; Snappy performance

Image quality not class-leading; ISO range could be broader

The Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 succeeds the GH4 , which upon its release in 2014 held the distinction of being the first interchangeable-lens mirrorless camera to offer 4K video capture.

+ Class-leading 4K video capabilities; + Superb high-resolution EVF; + Excellent handling and operability; + Impressive resolution from 20.3MP sensor

Is Panasonic’s new flagship the new 4K video master?

Smooth, stable 60fps 4K video, Tons of controls, Huge OLED viewfinder, Weatherproof build

Not the greatest low light performer

Panasonic's flagship camera isn't a one-trick pony, but it does have one main boast: 4K video brilliance.

The Panasonic Lumix GH5 is a new flagship compact system camera featuring 4K 60p/50p and internal 4K 30p 4:2:2 10-bit video recording, a new 20.3 megapixel sensor with no low-pass filter, and upgraded 6K Photo function which extracts 18 megapixel images from a 30fps burst.

The camera world has been moving at a slow pace over the last couple of years, with only small gains to be made. If you were to compare the GH5's image quality to the earlier GH4, for example, then the gains aren't that significant. But that's besides the point.

When it comes to pro 4K video capture there's little else to compare; Great stills camera too; Abundant autofocus options and capability (including 6K Photo; Great EVF and LCD

Sony A99 II gives high-end users a lot to consider; Some autofocus slip-ups (bright lighting; In particular; Causes issues; Chunky for a mirrorless camera

Let's stipulate up front that video is what's driving most of the interest in the GH5.It's packed with video features, several of which we've never seen on a stills camera before. But don't assume the GH5 is only about video.

The Lumix GH5 is Panasonic's most powerful mirrorless camera to date and a worthy successor to the GH4, whether you're shooting stills or movies. It's fast, flexible and feature-packed, easily taking-on rivals in this category and out-performing virtually anything at its price for video.
