Caleb Hoover: Can you see the difference? LUMIX GH6 vs S5ii
Caleb writes:
Not gonna lie, it’s hard to see the difference between the LUMIX S5ii and GH6! Let’s see if you can see the difference. Let me know in the comments what shots are from what camera! I shot with all the same settings on the GH6 and S5ii and I think these cameras match up pretty well.
New Sigma patent discloses the design of two new MFT lenses: 40mm f/1.4 and 35mm f/1.4
Sigma patented two new Micro Four Thirds lens designs. But it’s unclear yet if Sigma will really launch those new 40mm f/1.4 and 35mm f/1.4 primes. Or maybe they will OEM the design to Panasonic or OM Digital.

Whether professional or amateur, LUMIX will continue to evolve in order to contribute to all creators who want to challenge new expressions and fields.
Focusing on the Micro Four Thirds single-lens camera GH6, which enables a new time expression of 4K120p, and the full-size single-lens camera S5II, which supports even more aggressive shooting with on-image plane phase detection AF and powerful image stabilization. In addition to touch & try unique to the venue and a photo walk where you can experience the actual machine, we have theme-based seminars by up-and-coming creators and equipment-based seminars that delve into the appeal of products. We will continue to develop content that will be useful and hints for creative activities.
From those who want to open up new ways of expression to those who are having trouble choosing a camera, please visit the LUMIX booth!
