Love this camera, panasonic did an even better job on the GH6, but the GH5 is a great start to creating high quality media.

I've always loved the Panasonic GH cameras, and the GH5 is not different. A perfect fit and weight for my hands, providing a most comfortable usage. The cage for the memory cards is a little stiff, but I imagine that's because it's still new; however, it does not deter anything. So far, I've only shot photos, and my results reveal that I need to learn the 12-60, as well as C1, C2 and C3. Right now, it's fun and most enjoyable. I'm looking forward to shooting video.

A great camera!! Forget the fact that it is a M43 sensor, and focus good glass!! There is nothing this camera will not do and do great!!! If you are good at what you do, this camera will do it for you!! Focus is not an issue if you program it right and you know how to use it!! there is nothing on this planet that is perfect, but knowing how to use things with limitations is a great trait to have!! This is my third GH5 and it works great for me!! BTW good glass is not expensive, so here's your great tip of the day!!

So far so good. All bundle items were new and as described. It's gonna take me a while to learn all the features of the GH5, but out of the box I'm impressed.

I do commercial work mostly and this was a step up from my DSLR. Great auto focus and the VLOG is a great addon. 4k is solid all the way around.

When the 2020 pandemic hit I was tasked with videoing our local church masses for the duration, As anticipated, this remains a long term project, and a rugged, reliable, video oriented hybrid workhorse camera was needed. As a long time Lumix user, the GH5 was the obvious choice. It has served well, without any glitches or surprises, and I expect it will continue to do so into 2021. Nice bonus is the Leica kit lens, which is versatile, sharp, and balances well on the GH5. This is a kit which I intend to keep well past the current COVID crisis.

Great features for filming and quite the workhorse. Auto focus and low light leaves much to be desired.

Superb video and stills camera. The GH5 has been out long enough for thorough vetting by countless videographers, and it certainly has been a consistently reliable workhorse for the dozens of projects I've used it for since getting it about six months ago. The Leica-branded 24-120mm equivalent zoom is also a solid performer, sharp and versatile. No arbitrary recording time limit, no overheating issues, and rugged weather resistant construction make this a consummate professional's tool.

Takes amazing videos and pictures with the lens it came with. It’s a great camera to start and travel with.

Suppose you want a small but fully capable 4K camera and lens system for video production that is also an excellent stills camera. For this use case, the GH5 is a strong contender, even in late 2020. This holds true as long as you are not seduced by the full-frame madness. There are plenty of pundits that benefit from the ad revenue they generate with YouTube videos ringing the death knells of the Micro-Four-Thirds (MFT) format. However, I suggest you should focus your research on the opinions of people who use their cameras day in and day out. I understand the benefits of full-frame cameras, and I've shot with them; however, I like a lightweight kit for my personal work that I carry in one small backpack: a GH4 and a GH5, along with a travel tripod, three lenses along with accessories, filters, and extra batteries. The Achilles heel of the GH5 is the auto-focus when shooting video. However, one can learn how to coax it into working reasonably well, and for me, it's not that important

The camera comes with a package of free accessories that can help you get started with using the tool right away. Other than the accessories, the camera works fine and I'm still getting to know all its many functions.

Great bundle, for the same price of the camera, I bought 2 different lenses and add an extra $500 to the bill but it was a good option for my first professional gear!

I love this camera, the colors, the settings, the built. I have been using this camera for all the shooting and image quality is awesome, 3 batteries were enough for 12 hours of work and the performance was great!

Exceeds my expectations in ALL categories
By SVCT
Too often the hype exceeds the delivered product. Not in this case! The GH5 feels right in all of my uses whether photos or video. I had originally planned to put it in the air under my DJI M600P, but am rethinking that more because I enjoy using it on the ground so much. I'll work through the gimbal situation in time but I really am enjoying this alot "in my hands" I have a collection of Oly primes from my Drone work and picked up the 30-100 pro for exploring the strengths of the GH5 and du...

Panasonic GH-5. A professionals tool!
By Cleo W.
Hello, my name is CJ Wartley. I have used just about every mid pro to pro level camera for the past 15 years. Considering today’s industry standards and my personal work flow, I find the GH-5 to be among the professional level of video cameras. Also with no short comings of photography. The GH-5 is a very discrete and powerful tool for professional work. Also, Panasonic does not hold back any professional features, and listens to there customers. That’s a big one. This camera is definitely a...
