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.

In the world of mirrorless and DSLR cameras a lot of manufacturers are brushing over 4K video capture. Canon ? Doesn't want to know. Nikon ? Miles behind. Not so Panasonic , whose GH5 is one of the most adept 4K capture devices available today, capable of shooting up to 4K at 60fps.

Easy to use; Exceeded expectations; well balanced

Despite its few shortcomings and high price, the GH5 continues a Lumix tradition of giving videographers everything they'd want in a mirrorless body. Compared to Canon's 5D Mark IV the Panasonic makes next-to-no tradeoffs-this is a video camera first and foremost, while the Canon only goes so far to...
