This article is written weirdly and poorly. And is based on complete fairytales. Megapixels aren’t everything, says the LUMIX GH5s ;)

Maybe for the 10year anniversary Panasonic can release V-log L for free for all GH5s and cause a little resurgence in this glorious camera

Not sure if it's similar the Lumix 12-35 mm is so nice I got it twice lol. One for my gh5 and gh5s. Its a good all-in-one for most use cases and has built in stabilization that which paired with the gh5 ibis is a killer combo.

i shot northern lights with the A7s II and felt the same about that noise reduction. the FX3 and A7s III are better but still have some of that digital feel in shadows. for organic noise the Panasonic GH5S or S5 II actually give you a more filmic grain structure in low light. also look at the Nikon

Ive seen the Panasonic GH4 or 5 footage match up nicely. A Used the GH4 is reasonably priced. The Gh5 has in body stabilisation, the GH4 not. Both have focus peaking very handy, and auto focus, not that i'm keen on auto focus. GH4 shoots at 24p in 4k and 1080, with 60p available in 1080 only. The GH

Hi mate I’m a tv camera op working in documentaries, If they’ve got decent budget the fx3 is probably what they are using but honestly that would be absolutely overkill for what you are intending to do. Get a cheaper Sony A7S or even an old Panasonic lumix GH5s which would be perfectly fine for just

One of the common features of a photography centered camera is a whole lot of very small photo sites. This helps in post when you need to blow the image up for production needs. Many good cinema cameras, like the Arri Alexa and the BMPCC4K, use very large photo sites that have less noise to achieve

Panasonics aren’t great for stills either. Sony beats everyone by miles in the lowlight department. Also more popular if you’re looking to get hired by a production company. If you want to stick to the GH series maybe consider the GH5s. Better low light than both cameras. Biggest con is no in camera

Even better news - all of my above replies were based on previous Panasonic Image App (still some monitor delay noticed). Just found out that when pairing my GH5S with the newer Panasonic Lumix Sync App the monitor delay is now only just about 0.1-0.2s - should be more than good enough for most situ

I wouldn't get the RII, a used lumix s5 makes more sense for an upgrade if you really want full frame, I used to have a gh5 and this I personally did. So I'd either stay with the gh5 and get a zoom lens, the Panasonic 12-35mm is great, or get the lumix s5 with the kit zoom (20-60 f3.5-5.6)and later
