Panasonic GH5 review by ePhotozine: “delivers excellent results”

ePhotozine published the full Panasonic GH5 review. The final verdict is:

If you do any form of video work, then the GH5 will be an obvious choice. If you primarily want a camera for stills photography, with video a secondary consideration, and you want a Micro Four Thirds camera, then you may be better served by the E-M1 Mark II, which offers higher (stills) shooting speeds, and a more compact body, whilst also offering 4K Cine recording. Whichever you choose, there are benefits to each camera, both capable of producing excellent images, and we’ll look at the differences in more detail shortly.
The GH5 benefits from easy to use menus and a wealth of customisable controls. For those that like a Digital SLR sized camera, the GH5 will suit, but with the benefit of the latest technology and advances, including 5-axis sensor image stabilisation, a high resolution electronic viewfinder, high speed continuous shooting, and more video features than most of us can possibly ever need. Panasonic has thrown everything it has in to the GH5, and produced a camera that delivers excellent results.

Lenstip reviews the 12-100mm PRO lens and says it “deserves a round of applause”

Lenstip tested the Olympus 12-100mm PRO lens and conlcudes:

To be honest the Olympus 12-100 mm surprised me very positively. I didn’t expect such good results. I was almost sure that at least for one focal length the image quality would be weak on the edges of the frame and the lens would fail in the category of flares as well. No such things happened and for that the constructors deserve a round of applause. You get a lens with a very wide range of focal lengths, a decent constant aperture fastness, one able to provide good quality images at every combination of aperture and focal length; additionally its autofocus is efficient and its optical stabilization performs very well indeed. Really, it would be difficult to demand anything more. Good job!

New Panasonic-Leica 12-60mm lens is now in Stock at Amazon.de (new review by ePhotozine)


The new Panasonic-Leica 12-60mm lens is in Stock for the first time in Europe via Amazon.de. It will ship next month at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.fr.

ePhotozine posted the full lens review and concludes:

A standard zoom is a very useful lens and one that offers a high level of performance even more so. The Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-60mm f/2.8-4 Asph is a remarkably fine lens and despite the higher price that it demands gives excellent VFM. Definitely this is a very strong contender if looking for a versatile all purpose Micro Four Thirds zoom.
