Our first look at the Panasonic Lumix GH5 compact system camera

It’s been a long time coming, but the Panasonic Lumix GH5 is finally here giving you the highest picture quality in the history of Lumix G compact systems cameras. The experts are impressed, and so are we.

The GH5 is ideal for any creative team looking to stay at the cutting edge of video marketing, capable of gorgeous 6K and 4K/60p video and boasting a high-end, futureproof spec.

Why the GH5 isgreat for your creative workflow

With its compact design, high frame rate and intuitive controls, the GH5 has been described as a great fit for a creative agencies, photographers and videographers. Working with traditional cameras you could be shooting at 10 or 12 frames per second – with the GH5 that jumps to 30 or 60 frames a second, ensuring you perfectly capture the images you can’t afford to miss. Simply put, this camera just keeps on giving, and as your team’s video projects become more ambitious and complex over time, you’ll find it consistently meeting your new requirements.

The Lumix GH5 is adaptable to most shooting situations, including extreme conditions, allowing you to focus on the shot and not worry about whether your equipment will be up to the task. Speaking of adaptability, if you’re shooting some internal video for marketing on a low budget, the GH5 is really forgiving so you can be confident that it won’t let you down. Shooting at low or awkward angles isn’t an issue either, as the free angle screen with touch capabilities can be flipped out and tilted to whatever angle is required. The 6K photo function allows you can capture the greatest detail, giving you clear, crisp images with accurate colour representation.

Panasonic GH5 is available from us for £1417 ex VAT, and for that money you’re getting a solid investment. At a good price point and with a good form factor, the GH5’s ability to shoot high frame rates in HD and shoot in 4K60p means you can film almost entirely handheld. Similarly, the fact that you can capture slow-motion footage handheld will save you a lot of time and you’ll see a noticeable uptick in productivity and efficiency as a result.
