Panasonic GH5 vs. GH5S Camera Review

Documentary film does not mean you must capture everything all the time,. you are confusing Documentary film with reportage on tv news, they need to capture everything when it happens.... Hope you can educate yourself more on what Documentary Film actually is!

Ostrichland USA and Solvang! I live right near there haha.

I love videographers that do the work talk shop. Good video. GH5 is still a great workhorse that I use professionally as well.

I was expecting a comparison between GH5 & GH5s Pros and Cons etc. To me, this didn't seem to happen until around 11 minutes into the video. I also felt that you were speaking far too fast to try and take in all that you were saying. Sorry :(

Great video Joey! One question; on the GH-5s can you still set the Synchro Scan all the way up to 360? Typically it's default is 180. Thanks

What settings and lens did you use for this video? My videos always come out a little grainy. Thanks!

As soon as I heard it didn't have IBIS I stopped watching. Stupid decision by Panasonic - Unless it is half the price. If it was half the size, it would also maybe be ok. But you give up wayyyyy too much for a sensor dedicated to low-light.

Superb video

Very helpful comparison, thank you!

I thought Adam Savage was the guy from mythbusters?that's why I didn't want to watch this channel but this is obviously not the same adam

Great video! I work with video and photos. I own a GH3. I’ve been struggling between the GH5 & 5s. The GH5 is my choice. Thanks!

Youre not adam savage

A very solid review. I like the GH5 so much, it's still a beast of a camera in 2020. Earlier this year I also purchased the GH5s, and together I can cover everything. I don't think I will ever upgrade or be tempted to, I haven't even used them to their full potential either. Slid stuff

Great video. My choice was the GH5s which I purchased in 2018

I've had 2x GH5 in my collection for a couple of years and I've just bought a GH5S for low light purpose as I'm sick of the rendering time with noise reduction plugins. It's going to sit on my Ronin SC so I'm not worried about IBIS. The camera I pull out of the case is going to be determined by the light situation and that should be your deciding factor at the camera shop.

THANKS! I've been struggling with this decision. I'm good now.

Came hoping for Adam, got his pro shooter, initially disappointed, later absolutely pleased and felt privileged to get pro insights into the devices mentioned. Don't set the DSLR term and keyboard warriors telling you off for it, anyone with half a brain knew exactly what you meant. :thumbs_up:

Hey, Love you videos. I use Gh5 and GH5s and Synology too. I actually built a Synology network between 4 offices in 3 states and Russia. Your input is very helpful. Can you please put all your videos into a "Joey" playlist so I can watch everything you've ever done?

i disagree, you can get great dynamic ranges in low light, you just need to get the lumix lenses, and the right lens

one thing i've always learned when buying tech, never buy a 2nd version of a new tech, it's basically how they make extra money making the same tech $500-$1200 more expensive than it should be

Question: Have you tried GH5 with a non-panasonic lens which also has its own stabilizer built-in, such as a Canon lens? and if so, will GH5 IBIS work with this Canon lens' own stabilizer and they become dual stabilized? Thanks a lot.

74 soulless people!!! , very informative video.

yes you right, DSLR shooter is awesome))

Great video! Which of these cameras is best for shooting a yoga video. I plan to set the camera on a tripod and shoot myself and one other person doing the poses in a pretty small space. Any input on what lens would be best would be helpful too! I have never owned a camera......soooooo I know nothing! Thanks!

So, Clark Kent does camera reviews! Cool!

Joey do u still feel the same way since the BMPC4k and 6k or out?

what lens did you shoot this video with?

I sort of prefer the GH5S, the A7S II is still the king of low light but damn those low light shots with the GH5S were sexy and crisp

Great video mate! As my first camera, I think the GH5 is the better choice. Cheers!!

Really interesting. I'm leaning towards the GH5 - fantastic stabilisation 👍

G9 has better IS. Why not using G9 instead for shooting in street?

got bored after 13 minutes of jibber jabber

No stabilization can beat a good stabilization system like a brushless gimbal or something. Also, IBIS and all those things create unwanted movement when trying to frame precisely and/or when static (like on a tripod).
Also, your color grading skills could improve a bit, dude. Some of your shots are washed out, with improper gamma/black levels, and some footage showing the camera is overexposed (as unfortunately too many people tends to do).

Otherwise, nice video!

great video! i have the panasonic GX85 and LOVE IT. looking for a 2nd but still not sure between GH5 or GH5s...

In 2019 you can get a new gh5 for $1300 brand new. Huge bang for buck at an amazing performance

Hey Adam did you see a massive difference in the colors? The GH5 is said to lean heavily to the greens and the GH5S more to the magentas which is better for skin tones. Trying to decide If I should have A GH5 and a GH5s or just two GH5s? To give you some context I shoot mostly weddings.

Is it possible for Panasonic to make a camera that has all of the features that both of these cameras have? I don't care if it is a little bigger to fit everything inside, maybe they could just use the S1 body to fit everything.......Hopefully GH6 is a combination of these cameras, with new upgrades.......fingers crossed........

Awesome summary Joey from a guy that clearly loves to shoot. Thanks.

Something about Joey's last name makes me feel like I can trust him, idk what it is

When shooting a music video which is better? Honestly I'm stuck and I need help on this decision

Not a horrible video, but waaaay too much time spent convincing us of what we already know: a camera with stabilization will have more stable shots than a camera without stabilization.

What camera did you use to film yourself in this video?

Great review and comparison. The most impressive part is that you still having your camera after using that in Sao Paulo's streets :)

From a wedding videographer's perspective. I've shot with the gh5 for a year. I constantly run into low light issues on my 12-35 f2.8. I still want the versatility of the 12-35 and a lightweight setup since i'm always on a gimbal. (So no metabone + 18-35)

The Gh5s has a 1.9x crop factor and low light capabilities. The only instance where the gh5 would be great for me is convenience. (Not having to setup gimbal just to grab some pan detail shots.) In a way, the GH5s is still kind of a run and gun if you pop it on a zhiyun crane. It's light enough to keep on the gimbal the entire day. That would be my reasoning to grab the GH5s.

Photo sites are smaller the size the sensor is not the reason it doesn't do as well in low light. Man I wish people would stop saying that. He has a GH5s in his hand which is better in low light than a Nikon D850. How does he not know this?

Photo sites!

Fuji Xt3 vs gh5s ..

What camera are you facing with? Love the colors.
