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

Not the greatest low light performer;

While the Panasonic GH5 is a very good capable stills camera, its real strength lies in its video capabilities. It offers videographers the kind of specification and video quality that is normally only made possible by a much larger, more expensive cinematic camera.

Extensive video specification, High-quality stills and video, High-quality EVF and vari-angle touch-screen

AF system not up to shooting sport, V-Log modes are an extra expense, Badly positioned Display button

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

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...

For the past couple of years my own personal and work camera has been a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 mirrorless camera. Easy to use, but with a great deal of power; my experience with it is necessarily going to partly inform this review of its successor at the top of the Panasonic digital camera heap:...

First class video and photo performance; fast and accurate focus; twin cards; excellent glass on tested model; highly flexible view screen

Quite the price increase since the DMC-GH4; still got the "Display" button in an place where it gets tripped accidentally

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.

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

Noise at higher sensitivities; Prone to underexposing high-contrast scenes; Large and heavy by Micro Four Thirds standards

Panasonic's Lumix GH5 is the best prosumer video camera money can buy.

4K/60p video without time limits; Fast; quiet performance; 5-axis image stabilization; Post focus; focus stacking; and 30-fps bursts (4K photo mode; Rugged design with excellent control scheme

Area AF mode not as quick in video mode; Smaller sensor than competing mirrorless cameras

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. It's certainly one of the best 4K camera solutions out there, if not the best, before you start considering dedicated...

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

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

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.
