Dan Watson posted this full video review and GH5 article on Huffingtonpost:
It really is a revolution for compact video cameras in a way that cannot be overstated. This powerful camera takes filmmaking seriously and any filmmaker should take the GH5 seriously. While every other camera in this market, including the Sony A7SII and 5D Mark IV, comes with required workarounds to integrate them into your workflow, the Panasonic GH5 feels like it was created to fill all possible needs. Sure, it’s no A7SII in low light mostly due to the smaller sensor, but with an articulating touch screen, better ergonomics, amazing customization, 4k @ 60p, crazy slow motion, unlimited recording, dual card slots, better battery life, 10 bit video, and so much more, you should really consider how important it is to shoot at 25,000 ISO. For me, the Panasonic GH5 is the camera I was waiting for, well worth the $1,999 price tag, and flexible enough to navigate through a professional video shoot while still being compact enough for me to carry it unnoticed in a small bag on a trip to Disney World.

We’ve all been there. You’re ready to shoot a gorgeous landscape, surging waterfall, or classic car… Suddenly you realize that reflection and haze are reducing detail and contrast, and the image is not as crisp as you know it could be. The solution used to be fumbling around for the right sized circular polarizer for your lens, but now with the new Polar Throttle, you can just dial in the CPL filter that’s built right into the lens adapter itself!

The third lens of the PRO f/1.2 prime lens line up will be the 45mm f/1.2!
After the current 25mm f/1.2 Olympus plans to launch the 17mm f/1.2 and the 45mm f/1.2. It’s yet unclear if Olympus will announce just both at the same time. What we know is that for sure at least one of the two lenses (maybe the 17mm) will be announced this autumn.
Note: The current Olympus 25mm f/1.2 is in Stock at [shopcountry 64545].
