GH5 news and reviews roundup (Richard Wong, Photographyblog, Peter Gregg)

Richard Wong posted the full GH5 review:

To me, the most important improvement is that the camera can be used to create high quality video footage without any external accessory (okay, maybe apart from a good microphone). While the weight of the camera is a bit heavier than the GH4, in real life, it is a lot lighter as you could just carry the camera when you are filming and leave most of those external accessories at home. This is a dream comes true for any videographer that shoot run and gun type of video.

New GH5 review by Photographyblog:

The sheer number of options available on the GH5 is undoubtedly initially confusing, but that’s merely an observation rather than a criticism. If you typically shoot both stills and video, there’s simply nothing to challenge the Panasonic GH5 at this price-point and in such a portable format, making it a worthy winner of our highest accolade – Essential!

Thiery:Hihi, just to let you know that i’ve managed to get HSS 1/8000 working on the GH5 using Cactus v6 ii triggers and Godox AD360’s. I thought that this could be interesting for all stills shooters out there. I posted the info on the GH5 FB group. here’s a (hopefully working) link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pansonicgh5/1690908787875489/?notif_t=like&notif_id=1491253744292961#

Panasonic GH5 Best Camera Settings Explained For Good Video Autofocus by Peter Gregg:

Nick Driftwood’s GH5 got stolen. And here is how you can help him to find it again

Nick just sent me that message:

I want to report that my GH5 was stolen along with an SLR Magic Anamorphot 35mm T2.4 lens during a workshop visit to Barcelona yesterday. I was taking footage around the Gothic area – Carrer d’en Monec (Map ref: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@41.3887062,2.1774242,3a,75y,316.24h,41.57t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s6uKFZX5WCpO_rpheeReWbA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1) when I was tricked and let go of my guard. From under my nose in a mere second my camera was swiped and suspects ran off.
Serial number of Lumix GH5 is WG-PP001244. The SLR Magic had a white sticker on it saying the number SLRM355 I think though Im awaiting confirmation.
Please could you get a message out to readers of 43rumors to be wary. Especially that map reference in Barcelona!. There is a reward leading to the recovery of the Camera and SLR Magic lens.

I hope 43rumors readers can help him to find the camera again!
