will i get firmwere n my gh5?

@@amitanand498 The current firmware of the original GH5 is version 2.7, released in the Summer of 2020. At this time, Panasonic has not released any updates regarding the next available firmware version.

Hey Doug, thank you for the review. Would you prefer this GH5mk2 over the S5 for hybrid cam kit? I'm gearing up mostly for selfie teaching videos. I am aiming for top quality videos.

Yeah pretty misleading AD there Those guys just want to sell more cameras

non of the Lumix cameras have overheating issues. If the S5 doesnt have issues the GH5mk2 shouldnt too. The GH5 might come, if needed, with a fan similar to the S1

There should be a small button on the left of the viewfinder that's labeled "LVF". That allows switching between the monitor and viewfinder. Press that button and you should be able to see the live view of what you want to take a photo of.

The GH5 II does lack an optical low pass filter and the low light performance would be on par with the original GH5.

According to Panasonic, it is recommended to turn internet sharing on/off in the smartphone settings. You may also turn the Wi-Fi function on/off in the smartphone settings, and then try again. If you have tried these suggested methods and are still having an issue, please reach out to us via Live Chat on our website.

Yes. Panasonic has made many improvements wiith the introduction of the new Panasonic Lumix GH5 Mark II. The refreshed Mark II is more advanced and includes deep learning technology. It tracks the eyes, face or body of your subject and will recognize and track animals. Overall the GH5 MII is faster and more accurate. >Mark

@@BandH Thanks a lot for your info. A last question please: I make only 4K documentaries around the world, I don't take pictures. In your opinion is the GH5 Mark II or the Sony A7 IV better for me? Thanks

Though the MKII shares the same sensor as the original GH5, it inherits the new processor/engine from the Panasonic S1H and that equals better performance. The sensor also offers a new anti-reflective coating and the optical low-pass filter has been removed for improved performance too. >Mark

This camera is definitely improved in terms of the AF speed and accuracy. 225-Area Depth-from-Defocus Autofocus System: Boasting a high-speed, high-precision autofocus system, the GH5 II incorporates advanced deep learning technology to detect specific subjects including humans and fast-moving animals. Improved tracking performance quickly recognizes the face and eyes of moving subjects and the human body from a background of moving subjects. The camera keeps tracking the person even if he or she moves quickly, turns their back to the camera, tilts their head, or moves far away. This contrast-detection type focus method benefits both still and video recording modes, as well as subject-tracking applications where color, size, and motion vectors are used to intelligently lock-onto the moving subjects and ensure precise focus. Depth-from-Defocus technology offers lightning-fast calculation of spatial information making it possible to instantly and accurately capture your shots. >Mark

@@BandH from what I saw on another review this thing still manages to get confused from a human to the horizon. Really a shame. I don’t WANT to spend close to $4000 on a Sony camera when I could keep my existing lenses but I NEED something that is 100% reliable all the time.

New sensor confirmed so I hear. I wonder if it is phase detect as well?

Yes, but $2,500 is a lot of money.

@@robertm3951 Are you saying that the GH6 will be priced at $2500 without the lens?

@@tonytblum That was the price target from a leading Panasonic USA rep but there is no official price yet.

@@robertm3951 get R6 then..XD

would be great, but no you would need an external monitor for that.

@@clarke.inverary I own the Panasonic HC-X2000 and the GH5. On the HC-X2000 you can punch in to check manual focus. Maybe one can on the GH5M2 as well but either way I like the GH5M2. I'm getting it regardless :)

@@BackusCreativeImaging But that's a camcorder. I think it would be a good feature on the GH5 II as well as lens data in focal length and focusing distance on the camera monitor and instead of the goofy digital filters put some good ones in like background blur...

@@clarke.inverary but they are both made by Panasonic so it would be nice to see that on the GH5M2.

Not as far as we know at this time Gary. >Mark

@@BandH yess, EXTENDED….but I mean this feature in movies…

@@BandH i mean this feature for movie

good question

The GH5 II is capable of 60 FPS when shooting Full HD.

@@BandH really? The whole selling point of the GH5/s for me was the slow motion capabilities. For archery, you couldn't beat that ability. It's a shame that they dropped it entirely.

@@bradleyslama4932 i think is the same as the gh5 180fps

Since the Panasonic Lumix GH6 has not yet been released and we have no pricing, full details, or hands-on - we respectfully reserve judgemnt. Your decision will be based as much on personal opinion regarding the respective brand and ergonomics/feel of the individual camera as it will upon specifications, features, and functions.

Dynamic Range specs are not yet available for the announces but yet to be released Panasonic LUMIX GH6 This flagship camera of the Lumix G Series will be commercialized for its release to world markets by the end of 2021. >Mark

the gh6 is going to be in a different price range.

@@clarke.inverary yeah it said $2500. still cheap compared to competition.

@@martysender5539 there are no cameras worth buying right now give it four years

Missed opportunity for sure, a bit weird considering the first iteration has it (to my knowledge)

It includes 4:2:2. Even 10bit 4:2:0 with 4k60 which the first GH5 didnt have

The GH5 don't have the processor power for many of the new things.

@@rudolfabelin383 Live streaming…if you want it! Faster Focussing and tracking like promised in every firmware update, but good! Some better video settings, Yes! Most I will probably never use, but good! Included Vlog…Panasonic’s choice not to provide in GH5 Spot meter? Sounds like firmware A variable sized Waveform monitor?…sounds like firmware New photo styles?…sounds like firmware Non Linear Focus setting...Sounds like firmware GH5 already supports Tether software? Same sensor but less arty flaring? Brighter 1.5X screen..great, what about some more? And if you use the anomorphic setting..never have USB C charging is awesome. Finally! I’ll still wait for GH6 to upgrade. But super stoked Panasonic has finally shut up all those Micro 43 haters and non believers! I'm sure they were all Sony trolls...lol

@@rupequincey2129 Thanks! As you say, some is a firmware update some is hardware (better video autofocus). I am a bit tempted to upgrade.

It's water proof, no worry!

Panasonic can do whatever they want, they have been selling electronic devices probably before you were born, so I think they might know a bit about sales than you.

@@thewalkingvloggingman7152 You don't have to be a marketing genius to have common sense, and that shit makes none.

You can definitely wait for the arrival of the Panasonic GH6. However, there isn't much in terms of the exact specifications on it to compare with GH5 II. As soon as the GH6 is announced for pre-order, we should have more information by then.

because they would have to change the sensor they have deleopled.

Why oh why are you still buying their cameras? Stop bitchin and go get yourself an 15 min 4 k shooting, overheating Sony camera.

I’m switching to Sony because of the autofocus on my g9 😢

Go ahead and get 15 minutes of 4k shooting with overheating issues no cinema 4k 60 with terrible color science, expensive Cameras and Lenses, yeah go ahead to Sony while you can learn the settings in the GH5 mark II and get good auto focus ( or use MANUEL FOCUS) with unlimited recording and no overheating issues with inexpensive lenses.

if you have micro four third lenses

@@Merkeuroney very easy to just sell the whole system and switch to something way better.

@@adnan_velic i find it hard to sell

@@Merkeuroney sorry to hear that man. eBay usually works out good for me but I’ve had difficulties selling things on eBay as well lately it’s been crazy!

Depends what you're upgrading FROM. From the original GH5, no, but from something else, most definitely.

Of course I meant from the original gh5

It might not be worth the upgrade, but it's a BETTER camera than the gh5 that's for sure and the Mark II was actually for New customers not the people who own the the old processor which is in the Original gh5. That want New customers to bypass the Gh5 and buy the Mark II.

@@thewalkingvloggingman7152 agree

I'm getting the gh6

Go get a Fuji then.

Only to you or is it that you bought the GH5? And is pissed that you won't get the new processor and the other upgrades?😆😉

The original GH5 has an older processor that cannot handle all the “updates.”

The Original GH5 has an outdated processor which was redone on the Mark II, so no updates are coming😆😄 so deal with it, Mark II baby!!!

@@thewalkingvloggingman7152 I bought a GH5 II and I love it!
