As so many great new cameras are introduced, I often ask myself, \u201cWho is this camera for?\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all heard the adage \u201cIt\u2019s not the camera, it\u2019s the photographer.” That being said, if you are like me, you want to know how new technology can help you work more efficiently or create things impossible with previous generations of cameras.<\/p>\n

When I was asked to write about the new Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5<\/a>, I decided to give my thoughts on some of the creative types who I think will benefit from what the GH5 offers.<\/p>\n

This is, of course, by no means an exhaustive list, so please feel free to comment with how you\u2019d use this new tool in your work.<\/p>\n

The Travel \/ Street Photographer<\/em><\/h3>\n

While having a camera in your pocket via a smartphone is enough for some, you want the control and quality that comes from a dedicated camera. The GH5 is small enough to carry around easily and offers a wide range of lens options to catch every shot from landscapes, to street portraits to macro images of the finest detail. Being dust and splash proof allows you to keep your camera at ready when you are out in the field.<\/p>\n

With a built-in OLED Live Viewfinder and a 3.2\u201d TFT LCD Tilt Touchscreen monitor, you\u2019ll be able to get any and every angle you can imagine and the 5 Axis image stabilization will allow you to leave the tripod at home when you absolutely need to travel light.<\/p>\n

Catching the action will never be a problem with 9 frames per second in normal (autofocus) mode and 30 frames per second in 6k burst mode.<\/p>\n
