Hope you enjoyed this comparison! If you have any more comparisons you’d like to see just let me know in the comments…. Gh6: ordered 🎉💪

Yay for gh6! First time I have bumped into you. Oh and I love your presentation manner, your use of suitable b-roll, your hand-drawn animations with your tablet. Subscribed because of your quality content.

GH6 looks impressive. However I had made the decision to move to full frame a year ago with the S5. Not compelling enough to move back to MFT, but clearly validates the platform and extends the life of the MFT platform.

Great video - well done - and thanks for the work you put in. Nice to see your Stabalisation tips video in Liverpool just down the road from me in Southport. 👍

Welcome back. I never expected drastic improvements in noise and I also thought stabilisation was as good as it's going to get a few years ago lol

Great review! I have the S5 but am considering the GH6. You’ve articulated some of the sticking points and selling points very nicely.

I would be interested in the specifics of the lens used for each camera and the autofocus settings. If I were starting over, I'd look seriously at the GH6, but I committed to full-frame over a year ago with my Lumix S5. No regrets.

Splendid review and comparison! MFT has come a long way and the improvement on the GH6 sensor is very noticeable. Wondering how GH6 compares with the GH5s, I would love to see a review on that! Cheers!!

Well done. This was probably one of the best GH6 vids I’ve watched. Seems like you actually used it rather than scan through the spec sheet.

Excellent comparison... THANK YOU!!

Fantastic comparison and amazing gh6 noise control, thanks so much.

Hello, happy to find your channel. Well done. You got the subscription :) The micro 4/3 fan here and the happy user of GH5m2 and GH6 as well. I am impressed with the GH6 improvement but to be honest the GH5m2 has some advantages. For example composite in a still photography. That's why I keep both bodies. Looking forward to see more of your videos.

Actually, I'd be quite interested in a G100 VS GH6 comparison. Or a longterm review of the G100. It seems like the perfect blend of Panasonic user interface/tech and Olympus EM10-iv form factor. But does it outperform a GX80? Which camera do you grab if you want a compact m43 camera? Love the joy in your videos. Thanks for showing yourself.

I don't use AF for video or do handheld long exposures, but I enjoyed the video.

One equation did you have any issues with streaking or banding with the GH6 ?

Great video, thankyou. Nice Pia 🎸 as well!

Hi i need some help to choose a cam I going to buy new cam Which is better lumix s5 Or lumix gh6 for photo and video

Thanks Emily! Love this. And I'm a secret fan of the G100. It's just the perfect camera for bumping around town. Quick Q: For your ISO photo tests are you shooting jpgs? Thx!

What lenes were fitted to each camera? I was just wondering if O.I.S played any part in the long exposure results? I know the S5 stock lens has no I.O.S not sure what the GH6 ships with.

hey, longtime sub! enjoyed the comparison video. just curious about how you did the crown graphics on the tablet.. that was really cool!

What is the best lens for POV on Panasonic Lumix GH6?

With long exposure you should have also demonstrated the GH6 hand held 100MP mode which absolutely blows everything else out of the water. Your 12800ISO test was very illuminating as 12800 is the highest ISO I ever use in normal shooting. Incredible and way better than my Canon 1Dx at the same ISO.

Still rocking my G9. I am probably may invest on the GH6 to have it partnered with my G9 since I own 5 lenses deep already.

Your channel name alone is worth subscribing alone. I love to travel with my GH5 and G85 but I've been looking into the S5 but think I'll wait for the S5 Mark II or GH7.

I'm planning to buy my first proper camera at the end of the year. I've been debating between getting the GH6 or an a7s3, but honestly, I've been leaning towards the GH6 for a while and your low light section really helped consolidate that. It doesn't need to 'be the best' at everything a full frame would, it just needs to hold its own. and it does that bloody well. The only reason I'd consider changing my mind now is if they announced a successor to the S1H which has all of the functionality of the GH6 (which is a major selling point and is very unlikely). Great video, I think I'll finally cave in and hit that subscribe button haha xD (also 1000th like. yeet)

Love your videos!

Great music choice! GH6 looks very good but I think the S5 low light photos looked way better than the GH6 and whilst I'm sure the GH6 has better AF (smaller sensor, newer camera) I think in this test it was just faster. It had that in/out wobble rather than a smoother focus change that the S5 had. At least that's what I saw! IBIS on the GH6 looks amazing.

Well. Are you sure the high ISO photography is tied between the S5 & GH6? That would mean the crop sensors now are on par with FF.

That was excellent. The final drop to convince me to get the GH6

Did all cameras have the latest firmware on the bodies and lenses?

The hand-held GH6 shots are mind bogglingly good. Thank you!

Thing to remember is that once you hit 4K 50p on the S5 you're stuck with a 1.5 times crop. Just so annoying if youre switching framerates often. That's still a huge advantage of MFT with uncropped high framerates

I was looking forward to your input on the GH6 😎👍🏻

I got the G100 last week as a sort of a "B cam" and I'm just pleasantly surprised. The build quality is great and it's basically a budget and more compact G90 which I love. Wouldn't date to use it without a stabilised lens though! Anyway, from what I've seen in other videos, the GH6 does a lot better in terms of AFC than anything Lumix has done before. Were you using dynamic boost for any of the test shots?

I’m so excited to get my hands on the GH6!

That really shows the advances in technology and processing power that the GH6 brings to the Lumix range. But I'm really looking forward to/hoping for, is all that GH6 good stuff in a new, photo-centric 'G9 mkii', the G9 being one of the greatest stills cameras ever...imho.

Wonderful video, i just ordered ant this is my first MFT. I hope i can enjoy it, seems really cool

Is there ant significant difference with the March 1st firmware updates to DG lenses?

Great comparison and shows just how far M43 has come and can compete with FF in some cases and even better in others such as IBIS etc. I`ve done a similar photo shoot from a motorway bridge at nigh all be it with tripod and using good old fashioned film LOL! Great fun. I was a bit worried though when it looked like you were hanging your camera over the side of the bridge, kept bracing myself LOL! But seriously this was great as I don`t know much about Panasonic/Lumix and great to see much improved noise levels. I think a similar comparison between the OM1 & GH6 has to be next. I would expect the GH6 to be the better video camera but who knows? Thank you again and looking forward to your future videos with your new GH6, happy photography.

Great review. Thank you. One thing you could have considered is the price. The S5 can be bought for half the price of the GH6. Other than that I'd pick the GH6.

Naïve question here - I do 3D camera tracking [Syntheyes] and any type of IBIS, body or lens, will mess up the ability of the software to get a decent track. Is it possible to turn off IBIS in the body of the GH6? Thanks....

WOw, great video. GH6 is looking amazing

You had me at Faith No More

Great video!

May I ask if you took any RAW photos with the GH6, and if you had any problems using those RW2 files? I only ask because I've just had a play with my camera today and for some reason I can not use the RW2 files it created. I have an old copy of Lightroom 5.7 and even with my GH5 which create RW2 files I had to use Adobe Converter to change the files to DGN. I also just tried Darktables but sadly that could not read or import the files.

Would have loved to see the Lumix G9 results in these tests!

As part of longer hand held exposures you should have demonstrated the handheld 100MP mode which blows everything else out of the water. I also appreciated the 12800 ISO test as that is the highest iSO I use in normal shooting. It performed better than my Canon 1Dx. I am considering trading the 1Dx in for the GH6. I already sold most of my Canon glass last year to get my G9 and MFT lenses. GH6 is a heck of a camera.

I've been testing DxO PureRAW2 and it basically just fixes noise. All my raws from the g9 from about 800 were as smooth as a babies bot after deeppriming! dark arts at work... and worth every penny.

May I ask where you get replacement batteries for your Panasonic S5 or new GH6 from? And if you are considering any other form of external power source? There really isn't a whole lot of information out there on the tinterweb.

great shootout and you're so cool! I subscribe the channel! :) what about to make also a GH6 vs S1?

Will the S5 be a good camera for filming workout videos a one man show? Will the AF be OK if you set the camera on a tripod and do the workouts yourself?

Enjoying the new energy you're bringing to these videos (music, intro, etc.). These comparisons make me glad I decided to forego the S line and buy into the GH line last year with the GH5M2. From what I've seen, that camera splits the difference between the original GH5 and the GH6 in low light quality. I know we can pause the video at any point, however, I would prefer the comparisons stayed on screen a bit longer with less dashing about.

I have a G85 since when it was released and I love it, but I can't wait to get my hand on the GH6 😁

Wondering if a GH6 would pair up nicely with the S5... I already have an S5 which is great for both stills and video, but is not the best in terms of lens sizes and IBIS when walking. I am looking for a good reason to buy a GH6 to replace my Sony gear (that company seems to really drop the ball on their cameras, giving up on firmware, etc.) Could you help me out finding a reason? Looking to possibly get back into MFT because it seems so great for travel and run and gun.

It is cool comparison!

The music choice was epic

Hello, I would like to ask your opinion since you have tried both the Gh6 and the S5. I have a Lumix G80 and was considering swapping it for one of these two machines to improve the quality. I am a freelance graphic designer and every now and then it happens that some client asks me to take photos to insert them in website flyers or for an event. I also like making videos, in fact I opened my own channel on youtube. Soon I will finally have my honeymoon which will be divided into two parts; in a few weeks in the Caribbean and in August in California. A friend of mine asked me to take pictures of her at her uncle's civil wedding which will be in 2 weeks and I said yes ... 😅 HELP !!!! Which camera do I choose? I don't know whether to stay with the M43 and take the GH6 because I already have a nice set of lenses (12-60mm lumix, 25mm 1.2 olympus, 45mm 1.8 olympus, 75mm 1.8 olympus) or buy a full frame of which I don't have lenses to mount and I should buy at least a 50mm or 85mm 1.8 to take portraits at a wedding. For me, lightness is also essential for traveling and vlogging. Can you give me an advice? Sorry my english i translated with google translator.

The GH6 was easily the best. They've done a fantastic job. Now if they can squeeze that into a GX9 body, I will be happy 🙂 (minus super fancy video stuff and plus more stills goodness)

Even though we're reaching the limits that the m43 sensor size has, for a camera that does a lot and does it good, this is a great bang for buck.

Good videos and good channel. Keep going.

OMG, the drummer!

I need unlimited video recording since I do fitness videos, so I will have to grab the GH6. So much money involved though. Not that easy, plus supply chain issues isn't making matters better also. I looked into the S5 because of the full frame, but it's capped at 30 minutes for video recording. Not what I need for making those kinds of videos I make.

Don't forget once DXO has support or the GH6 you get two extra stops of high ISO that are clean. DXO noise reduction is mind blowing.

For the photo ISO comparison, ,was that raw or jpegs?

I was using a Fujifilm X-T3 APSC I sold it and bought a Panasonic S5 last year really wasn't impressed. I then sold the S5 and have just bought an Olympus MFT camera having seen video reviews and many FF users going over to the brand.

For noise at high ISO in video I would also call it a draw between S5 and GH6

Yea the brocolli is always an issue lol! Great video!

Nice to hear a bit of 'Faith No More' in the background! The Gh6 (£1,999 body only) does look the best all-round contender here. However, the S5 is on offer at the moment with £200 off and a free 50mm f1.8 lens thrown in for £1,299 so it's a tough choice. I suppose it depends if you want FF with bigger, heavier lenses over the MFT system.

What do you think of the om1?

Could you do more 300 fps samples please?

At the iso test you`re pushing the gh5 file at exposure +1.85 and the gh6 file only with +1. or i am wrong?

Suprised at the s5 continuous shots on the tennis ball... I was very much considering one but these types of examples put me off a bit as shoot a lot of motion

I saw the S5 being on sale briefly for USD1,500 a few days ago (now it's back up to USD2,000). At the discount price of USD1,500 I'd pick the S5 over the GH6 without a second thought.

High ISO on GH6 looks impressive at first glance but with closer examination, it actually looks like heavy NR has been applied internally. Still very good though, much better than GH5 but not to S5 levels even if it fools you into thinking they are close.

You plays drums too? WOW!

Epic!!!

By the way that pink film I left a comment on your last video its from Japan it's called Sakura. I think the Hong Kong film makers might have used it. Some reason I've been thinking about that film and want to film a Kung Fu movie. The 8mm iPhone app has it.

It looks like I have to exchange my Lumix GH5 II for the GH6 isn't it?

Frame size is another point to the s5 Bettter for photos another point s5 ??????

Wow. An Ibanez Pia guitar!

I really liked the G100, ....because I don't have the other 3.

gh6 unlimited recording and ssd connectivity coming soon as well

Appreciate the great video as always, but feel it wasn’t an equal comparison. The GH5/GH6 are more video centric, whereas the S5 is largely a stills camera. Would like to to see them head to head for stills for landscape’s & portrait… dynamic range etc…. Thank you again for good content.

hey that was really fun. I've never heard of anyone hand-holding night shots but wow.. Love the idea of GH6 (I have G9 now) but I'm a *little* nervous about the sh*tty AF performance as an all-around cam. I'm sure better than my G9 but that admittedly sucks.

Ich weiß warum ich bei MFT bleiben werde... und warte auf den Nachfolger der G9.... Many Thanks

Just got a phone call. My new toy arrives early next week. It’s at the store right now, but as I paid via PayPal it must be posted. So excited.😃

GH6 of course, love your videos

Pentax!

youre a drummer 👏

Super😃

Wow .. did say S5 before gh6.. but the autofocus on humans is great .. and the low light... Not gh5s or S5 but very good. .. hmm... Would be easy just to change the gh5 to gh6.. considering

I wish the GH6 weren't so heavy. I was surprised the s5 weighs only 700g, very close to my g9 while the gh6 comes in close to a kilogram! Already the g9 is borderline difficult to travel with. With the s5+kit at a steep 300 dollar discount now that makes the decision even more convoluted.

Or photography with your camera

I'm exceptionally happy with my decision to get the GH6 and knowing it competes with a full frame beast is all the better. What I'm really looking forward to is vLog and not vLog Light. No more trying to remember how to expose for middle grey and watching the waveform give up the ghost at 80%.

I have absolutely no doubt you had made your mind up prior to doing this video. Your channel is called Micro Four Nerds so that’s understandable.

I love Lumix S5, but that AF is shame.... evrn when gh6 is better in this competition

Its nice video, but really takes a hit by being 1080p and quite low bitrate. The noise comparison is almost pointless due low resolution and low bitrate combined with KZfaq processing.

For hybrid use the S5. The AF continuous test looks like the S5 was shot at default, not optimal speed and sensitivity for the tennis ball. Nonetheless, the GH6 is a video beast.

No body talks about the GH5M2 :(

I have lens 12-60 f2.8-4 already will upgrade to gh6 for sure from gx85 I don't care FF becouse I already have lol
