Glass Bubble Project a Panasonic GH5 Film | 4K 60p

Photobyrichard.com posted a nice report from the GH5 New Zealand tour. But the main info we got is that at least in that country the GH5 is now officially shipping to early adopters. The camera wills tart to ship out on March 30 in USA/Europe. GH5 store links: [shopcountry 65368].

And Hugh Brownstone posted a new GH5 hands-on video where he tests the Touch Follow Focus feature. He says “it is Just…Wow!”

This video from Wolfcrow is specifically made to address a confusion many people seem to be having as to why there aren’t any significant differences between the 8-bit and 10-bit footage in the Panasonic GH5, as of March 2017. For calculations and links to articles click here: http://wolfcrow.com/blog/thoughts-on-…

But keep in mind that MATH is not everything. As reported by Slashcam and Osamu there seems to be already a 10Bit advantage with the current 150Mb/s compression. And this is and interesting test image by Randy Wheeler:

The external output on the GH4 doesn’t get compromised as shown in this pic so I would assume that the GH5 output won’t get compromised either:

Let’s turn the world upside down and report about the E-M1II video review from Max Yuryev and the GH5 stills quality review from Imaging Resource.

Max Yuryev says that the camera is disappointing for video shooters. I am not sure all will agree here but check out the video on top to hear why he believes that.

And Imaging Resource tested the GH5 Stills Quality and concluded:

In side-by-side comparisons, the GH5 and GH4 appeared to have no noticeable change in image quality at the same sensitivities through the range. Though colors are better on the GH5, any high ISO improvement is negligible, at least in still photos.

I know both conclusion do not sound great. But keep in mind the GH5 excelles when it comes to video performance while the E-MII is clearly designed for photographers and not film makers.

In this video review Martin Tang tests the new SLR Magic 8mm f/4.0 MFT lens (here at BHphoto):

Things I love:
☑ Low wide angle lens distortion
☑ Lightweight and tiny, great for travelling
☑ Perform the best when set to F5.6 or F8

Things I don’t like:
? The silver manual focusing nob is located in the lower right hand, need time to get used to it
? Your finger might turn the aperture ring when you manually focus the lens. (because it’s extremely small)
? Reduce sharpness at the corner of the frame when set at F4.

Well, if you got over 1 hour of free time you can watch that Panasonic GH5 poadcast from Gordon Laing :)
