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

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.

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

They’re pretty much the same camera aside from ibis and the dual native iso. I have the gh5s and pair it with the Lumix 24mm 1.7 at iso 800 for low light work and it handles it. These cameras are not low light monsters like other more modern models (looking into the g9ii or the gh7) and they’re not

Whilst I appreciate the tongue in cheek tone of your post, please include all important context in the post title itself in future posts. Thank you! For example: Do I need an S1H for studio work with two GH5Ss? ... Anyway, I think two different systems (MFT, L-Mount) being a part of one ecosystem (L

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

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

A GH5 with f/2.8 lens would weigh roughly the same as the S5 with a kitlens. The main advantage of the GH5 would be: More zoom range for the same weight. The leica 12-60 give you the FF equivalent of 24-120 for similar weight as the S5 20-60. (Though shooting in APS-C mode on the S5 effectively exte

I’m a low budget filmmaker, made my first two shorts on the LUMIX GH5S, recently upgraded to the GH7 with the Leica 10-25 1.7, absolute sledgehammer of a combo that has mostly killed my GAS

Yeah I came from canon before the GH4 and have stayed with Lumix since the GH4 (GH5s and now S1ii). Always with adapted EF lenses! My experience with the S1ii has been great professionaly (video's for clients) aswell as personally (photo's). The new firmware that dropped recently improved the AF and
