GH5 news and reviews roundup (Richard Wong, Photographyblog, Peter Gregg)

Share

Richard Wong posted the full GH5 review:

To me, the most important improvement is that the camera can be used to create high quality video footage without any external accessory (okay, maybe apart from a good microphone). While the weight of the camera is a bit heavier than the GH4, in real life, it is a lot lighter as you could just carry the camera when you are filming and leave most of those external accessories at home. This is a dream comes true for any videographer that shoot run and gun type of video.

New GH5 review by Photographyblog:

The sheer number of options available on the GH5 is undoubtedly initially confusing, but that’s merely an observation rather than a criticism. If you typically shoot both stills and video, there’s simply nothing to challenge the Panasonic GH5 at this price-point and in such a portable format, making it a worthy winner of our highest accolade – Essential!

Thiery: “Hihi, just to let you know that i’ve managed to get HSS 1/8000 working on the GH5 using Cactus v6 ii triggers and Godox AD360’s. I thought that this could be interesting for all stills shooters out there. I posted the info on the GH5 FB group. here’s a (hopefully working) link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pansonicgh5/1690908787875489/?notif_t=like&notif_id=1491253744292961#”

Nick Driftwood’s GH5 got stolen. And here is how you can help him to find it again

Nick just sent me that message:

I want to report that my GH5 was stolen along with an SLR Magic Anamorphot 35mm T2.4 lens during a workshop visit to Barcelona yesterday. I was taking footage around the Gothic area – Carrer d’en Monec (Map ref: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@41.3887062,2.1774242,3a,75y,316.24h,41.57t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s6uKFZX5WCpO_rpheeReWbA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1) when I was tricked and let go of my guard. From under my nose in a mere second my camera was swiped and suspects ran off.
Serial number of Lumix GH5 is WG-PP001244. The SLR Magic had a white sticker on it saying the number SLRM355 I think though Im awaiting confirmation.
Please could you get a message out to readers of 43rumors to be wary. Especially that map reference in Barcelona!. There is a reward leading to the recovery of the Camera and SLR Magic lens.

I hope 43rumors readers can help him to find the camera again!

In Stock now: Atomos Ninja Inferno

And our reader Marc Silber just sent us this:

I wanted to let you know I have released my new book Advancing Your Photography (AYP)

My goal with AYP is to provide a complete system for all levels of photographers that is easy to use. It is based on thousands of hours of interviews I have conducted with pros over the years, with advice from some of the biggest names in photography—Chase Jarvis, Bambi Cantrell, Chris Burkard, Joe McNally, and dozens more.

The book is available now on Amazon (where it’s already on their hot new release list)
Amazon.uk (pre-order)
Amazon.de  (pre-order)

Those who order can go here to get a bonus and an chance to win a ThinkTank bag.

Here’s what Chase Jarvis (Multi Award Winning Photographer and CEO of CreativeLive) said about the book:

Marc’s new book is an all-in-one, easily accessible handbook drawn from his huge library of interviews with top photographers — and packed with information that can be put into action immediately. This book will show you how the pros do it.  Study this and take your best shot.”

A breakthrough in AYP is defining and outlining for use the full “Cycle of Photography” as a tool to continually advance on an upward spiral.

I took great care to define all terms and illustrate all points I make, including a very thorough glossary. At the end of each chapter is a “Crash Course/Summary” — also handy for those who want to get fast tips and then come back later for the meat. It includes easy to use tips for nine genres of photography from those who have clearly mastered each.

It is a handbook of the size to carry in your camera bag, as well as to keep handy for processing— so it’s always right at your fingertips ready for use!
Here’s some background for why and how I wrote the book.

Thanks for helping spreading the word about this new resource for the photo community.
