The Hardware of the Panasonic GH5 – An Interview with Panasonic’s M. Uematsu-san

GH5 at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama and Panasonic US. In EU at ParkCamera.

There a couple of Panasonic interviews on the web. I embedded them here in this post. There is also one more interview at Explora. A couple of interesting bits:

• RAW video recording is yet not possible on these generation SD cards
• It0’s impossible to add built-in ND filter because of the short flange distance of MFT
• It’s the same GX8 sensor but readout speed is much faster (1.6x faster than on the GH4)
• Dynamic range is improved over the GH4

TheVerge posted their full E-M1II review and writes:

The E-M1 Mark II is a breath of fresh air in an industry that values iteration over innovation. The camera is one of a very few that signal the changes to come that are going to affect the very fundamentals of photography. For the moment, it’s hard to truly imagine where those changes will take us. But one thing’s for sure: the ride is about to get a whole lot faster.

Hugh Brownstone nominated the best gear of 2016. And the best camera is the Panasonic GX85.

TheCameraStoreTV selected the Best and Worse camera and lenses of the year. And maybe a bit surprising two Micro Four Thirds camera are under the three worse cameras of the year: The new Olympus PEN-F and the new YI M1.

Not sure you will agree with this…but watch the video to learn whats the reasoning behind their choice!
