CameraProject: “We took the GH5 out to test not only it’s video capability, which everyone else is talking about but also look at it’s stills performance. Unfortunately, along the way, we ran into some SD card troubles, which we talk more about in the video. Check out our tests of the GH5, it’s autofocus, low-light and other key features in the iconic Brooklyn Bridge Park overlooking the Manhattan skyline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtJ2dHR3NoM“
