Seriously one of the highest quality reviews I’ve seen in a while. Awesome video guys, thanks so much!

it is a very, very, very good review that you have done. Seriously. Not only helpful, but also beautifully shot and animated. Thumbs up for respect.

Still one of the most beautifully shot camera reviews from you guys. I bought a GH5S in a small part because of this video.

I love how you made this a bit of a travel documentary as well as a review! Nicely done, guys!

FINALLY a fantastic video featuring the GH5s by someone who knows what they're doing. So much test footage out there is poorly exposed, well done here 👍🏼

Best review I've ever watched! Respect guys!

Definitely the best Hands-On field test/review of the GH5S and by far! 👏🏻

The fact that they removed IBIS is not bad at all, since most filmmakers use gimbals to stabilize their shots anyways. Also, if you were to get the GH5 and turn IBIS off, the sensor would still be floating around in a field of magnets and not locked into place. The GH5S and GH5 are used for different types of scenarios. Also, by removing IBIS on the GH5S, they were able to put in the Dual Native ISO technology and much more, so I would personally consider this change an upgrade since I also use a gimbal 90% of the time.

The has to be one of the most beautiful video reviews I've ever watched! Cheers guys, very professional.

Truly enjoyed the video, guys. Solid information and samples for our viewing pleasure. I own the GH5S (purchased about 2 months ago) and I am blown away by the breadth and depth of its capabilities. I am a photographer primarily but also shoot video for some larger jobs and need low light camera to get clean footage. Wow! Does the GH5S deliver. I am a Canon shooter primarily (R6 for both photos and videos). I had read and watched so much about this camera and it truly lives up to the hype. I love that it doesn’t limit my recordings to 29:59 like all the other DSLR cameras do. The ability to get Vlog standard and the multiple functions buttons on this camera and a few of the other video techniques built in (internal pan and zoom) make this camera a true gem! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience. Have a blessed day!!

Definitely a strong "Philip Bloom" feel. I loved it!

Loved this piece. Brilliant work guys!

I am VERY IMPRESSED with with this video! With my 25+ years of video production, I know good video when I see it! And I can say THIS IS GOOD VIDEO! Well Done! Now regarding the camera, I am ALSO impressed. I am a Sony F55/F65 guy and a Canon 1Dc/x2 to C700 guy and while it is a completely unfair comparison to those higher end systems, this GH5s does actually offer reasonably COMPARABLE footage if graded correctly. In terms of image stabilization, just put this camera on a higher end gimbal stick which weighs less than 2 kilos to carry around in a packsack and use that gimbal to keep your footage stable and jitter-free. It's NOT A BIG DEAL that IBIS isn't on this camera! For the price and size, I could DEFINITELY use this camera as my emergency backup to the C300mk2 or C700 or the Sony FS-5/7 series if am in the field. One key issue is to SPEND THE MONEY YOU SAVE BUYING THIS CAMERA on the BEST and SHARPEST prime lenses you can afford and right now I REALLY LIKE those Sigma Art F1.4 50mm, 85mm and 135 mm lenses!

the start of this video is stunning, the cinematography is top notch

Great to see you film in my beautiful country :D great review!

Beautiful camera, editing, CG, and Slovenia

Great review and very nice location in Slovenia!

this video helped a lot bro , i have been interested in this camera for some months now reading reviews and this was the best one yet, thank you!!

Great job on this comparison guys; best explanation I've seen so far on these two great cameras and where they each excel. For me, the GH5S looks like the one to go for, as it will mainly be used for gimbal work and some low light shooting. Only hope is that V-LOG will match well with C-LOG 2 from the C300 mk II which is my A-CAM.

We don't use AF or IBIS on our productions. This is a great camera and very professional. Like the time code additional.

One of the best reviews I've ever seen! Excellent job! Thumbs up and subscribed!

welp, this video made me realize just how boring my life is. Man I need to travel :( Great Video!

I am not a vedio maker and neither really interested in GH5 line because I am still looking for A7S3. But I added Slovenia on my traveling wishlist after watching this review. Nice review dude.

Holy shit, amazing cinematography, like watching the revenant again

Fantastic video.BRAVO

The greatest thing in your video - the highlight roll off - the harsh glow is gone!! Skies look good again (without having to use a gad ND) - nice work gents!

Removing one of the best thing with the GH5...ibis. Nice then do i not need to think of an upgrade :)

One of the reasons I would and am seriously considering getting the GH5S IS the removal of IBIS entirely. When you’re using the GH5 and you’re encountering lens flare whether it’s on or off the flare bobs and weaves around. Removing that mechanism gives you full control of the orientation of the sensor which is a welcome feature. If you don’t like the camera then don’t get it! There’s nothing wrong with something not fitting your needs and it certainly doesn’t make it a BAD camera just because it doesn’t work for you. Peace and love 🙏 Josh

Thank you for great review. Lovely footage.

Best review of the GH5s by far

Amazing review. I really loved the sounds in the slow motion part

Best review of a camera I have EVER seen! Well done and thanks a lot for doing it :)

Very thorough and enjoyable review, gentlemen. Great work!

What lens/es did you shoot with? Great video review. Thanks.

I am thinking about getting the LUMIX GH5S to upgrade my filmmaking kit. What lens would you recommend with this camera for video?

incredible review. Beautifully shot. I’m a Sony user but I appreciate how thorough and applicable you made this. Looking forward to more. Cheers.

Now this is a proper review! Great job!

I may be an outlier here, but I'm still rocking my GH4 and couldn't justify purchasing a GH5 mostly because I didn't see a drastic improvement in low light performance. I know the GH5 has tons of other improvements, but that's what I was really hoping for. I use a gimbal or a camera slider most of the time so I'm used to shooting without IBIS anyway. Now that the GH5S has come along it FINALLY has the low light (higher ISO) performance I've been waiting for. I know quite a few of you are pissed that this newer version doesn't have IBIS, but for someone like me who's already set up to shoot without it this camera seems like the perfect upgrade. Can't wait to buy it!

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Bravo. Very well done video guys. This is probably the best one I've seen so far and probably will see. Lol

Great review...and very beautiful video footage..great work

Great review. Still disappointed with no IBIS though. That was one of the best new features in the GH5. Crazy they removed it. Deal breaker for me.

this is a really great hands on review. Mi gusta What lens were you guys using?

What lenses were used for this video? Amazing quality!

Beautiful shots and nice review!

Well done guys!

Good overview and great to see some footage. Looks an interesting camera.

Awesome review. Thanks 👍

Great video, very thorough and informative. And of course beautiful:)

Beautiful editing.......😍😍

Great Review guys. Thank you !!!!!

Maybe I don't buy gh5s but Really I will visit Slovenia!!! 👍👍👍

Well done guys! Thank you!

Beautiful video..... which lenses you used in this video?

Great video lads, thanks.

Nice video Wex, Being a Gh5 owner I cant believe those slow mo shots were that pixelated, not sure what happened there. Looking beyond the other imperfection twas a pleasant watch. cheers.

Can't wait to see this with a Speedbooster on it. :)

These shots are beautiful. I don't know what it is about the Micro 4/3 sensor that makes me fall in love with it.

This is by far the BEST review on Gh5s, From what I see, 1080 @ 240 FPS is not sharp at all, looks more like 720p upscaled to 1080 p. Low Light looks really clean and sharp. How good is it do you think in compare to Sony a6300? I saw the other video on Autofocus and it sucks, Wish they would have taken special care,. in that area. BTW guys I loved all the shots you took. Amazing place. all the best guys..!! Love from INDIA!!

Honestly, after having worked on professional shoots this lack of IBIS is not a big deal. Its really not something that I've seen used on the shoots I've worked on. I see how people are angry, but after having read and listened to reviews...this is really a camera for a specific group of people who are probably shooting locked down on a tripod or on a gimbal. However, I am thinking that the lowlight sensor will make its way to GH6 whenever that is released.

Very nice review! Thanks!

Great review and beautiful style!

As a person interested in first person videos, I was blown away from the rolling shutter performance of this camera. Like say you're shooting your experience in a rollercoaster ride or a train ride, it'll look bliss. For photography, I love street photography, long exposure and a little bit of portrait. I think 10.3Mp is enough for me provided there's not much noise there. How much speed can you go in slow Mo before it kinda gets soft or crops. I believe despite gh5 being capable of 180fps it was better kept at 120fps or below. Is ibis such a big thing for a stills photographer (actually because it is still active even when you deactivate it, doesn't it actually introduce more artefacts)? I have fairly stable hands, I can manage 2 second exposures handheld quite easily on my OnePlus 3 and still get very sharp images (it does have some sort of ois, but it's a phone so it will be limited in implementation anyway). I can even pull 4 seconds handheld at times. I'd be going with nocticron and 12mm summilux, but it's a shame that the summilux lacks ois so I'll need to make my hands more stable.

Thanks for the review. I'm probably going to upgrade from GH4 to GH5S. The lowlight performance, extra cinema options and vlog luts to view footage in camera are really helpfull. Don't really care about the IBIS because I have a zhiyun crane for that. Having some more MP would be nice as I like to use this for photography too. Luckily it is mostly for social media and not print so I can manage. 240P does not seem like an upgrade as that footage seems soft. Now I just need the nocticron, 12mm 1.4 leica and some nd filters + step up rings and I'm set. What I love about this system is that it's compact and light weight. No need to carry heavy lenses when travelling :D Only thing I don't understand is the big price difference as they are very similar in specs. I can't wait to shoot some cinematic stuff with this!

That's crazy!!! I have been in a couple of Your gorgeous test locations with my Panasonic :D (GH3)... Compared to the GH5 this new model feels more pleasant to my eyes... I am curious to see how still pictures look like... Really enjoy Your test... Thanks.

it was cool to see someone good review a camera for once

A beautifully done review, gentlemen! But one thing bothered me about the image. Whenever there was water, and there was quite a lot of it, there was quite a noticeable judder in the wave action. It looked almost like stop-motion photography. Was that a frame-rate issue or something else?

Is this video main lens 12-35mm f2.8? Amazing video, if you guys come over again in Slovenia, let me know, would be glad to take you somewhere here, Slovenia have alot of nice places to see 😊

what lens did you use, looks amazing ... I am struggling on what lense to buy... Helppppp

You spelled the waterfall wrong... :) It's Peričnik or without the funny letter just write Pericnik. But we have better waterfalls than that one. My fav is "Kozjak". :) Great video.

Out of curiosity - can you focus magnify while recording to check focus? You could not on the gh5, curious to see if you can with gh5s

Very Good tests!

As a GH5 owner, I'm happy I don't need to lose sleep wondering if I should squeeze my budget for the GH5s. No IBIS... That's a huge huge perk to the GH5 10MP vs 20MP photos... But its nice to see that the 240fps actually looks like 1080p vs the more usable 120fps in the GH5 I don't see many people choosing to pay more for the GH5s and getting 'less'. But don't get me wrong, the GH5s is a nice addition the to Indy film industry!

Great video

Thumbs up, thanks, very well done. A big point for me is whether or not the gh5s has better dynamic range vs the gh5? TIA.

That shot at 0:42 is genuinely breathtaking. I want a wallpaper of that. Any photos of that trip?

Great review guys, this has helped me decide on the GH5 as I want to shoot a movie and I believe 6k anamorphic will will be better for that.

Excellent review.

Wow Beautiful video shots, great job. I'll stick with my GH5 for now. I love it especially the in body O.I.S. combined with O.I.S. lenses. I just did a short review after using it for 6 months. I use it for all sorts of projects mostly for my Mavic Pro documentaries on my channel.

It's so funny hearing everyone whining about the lack of IBIS. This technology is only a year or two old! Red doesn't have IBIS. Arri doesn't have IBIS. C300 doesn't have IBIS. FS7 doesn't have IBIS. 5D4, 1DXii, Black Magic Ursa Mini Pro on and on... none of these cameras have IBIS. Don't stress so much about the specs. This is a great camera and the extra frame rates and low light are well worth it.

I just find it a bit weird camera, since the improved low light would suggest it requires less lighting and is better for run and gun documentaries (who obviously would love to have the ibis). This S version benefits those who don't have the time to set up lighting for their scenes, yet it takes away the stability and quick motion with the ibis. So it seems a bit counterintuitive.

Best review of the GH5s I have seen. Does this have a less crop factor over the GH5? Your site says 1.33 crop and I have seen specs say 2x crop and others say it has less of a crop than the GH5. Which is it?

Nice made bro very beautiful place

I'm from Slovenia :D, nice to see you enjoied the wisit. We get a lot of turists from the UK. Can i ask from witch city you are?

Hello. Give the link a couple of original frames. I will be very grateful.

Great job - thank you!

honestly i think they took out the IBS to keep the price point down and save space for the dual ISO, i love the IBS it pretty much what sold me on the camera i shoot handheld to atomos its awesome

Disappointed about the release of this new GH5s I'm going to wait for GH6

1st thing came to my mind is, Do these places really exist ? I mean, no CG but it's real ? Beautiful scenes, well explained, Great Camera. Thanks Bro.

This is a super review guys with lovely footage....im wondering if you want to offer your thoughts on my present dilemma....At present i am genuinely struggling with the decision of buying the gh5s or a sony a7sII or the black magic pocket cinema cam(4k)......i have. friend working in shadowplay a very respectable advert film company who has bought the black magic and is producing stunning results.....however i am aware this is not run and gun (or running smaller rig on a zhiyn crane for example).....im attracted to low light iso of the sony a7sII and low bokeh in full frame....this new gh5s seems to be much more comparable though .....i shot a film on the land speed records in the uk on the gh5 and was impressed how rich the colours are.....ive an old gh4 so have m:43 lenses....im not asking you to make a buying decision for me....just curious of your thoughts as i respect your channel and wisdom.....i shoot with gimbles a lot so not concerned with ibis etc....but i do want two things.....a stunning after post image and...........moveablity......for example i will be shooting a film on the pakistan border with the indian army on camels so steadicam is critical to me......for ages ive been set on the sony a7sII for its low light kingdom.....yet now.....with more options.......choice of buying grows more complex ! be interested to know your thoughts if you feel like responding.....and again......lovely review and footage.....always travel forwards and keep up the great work....best wishes alex ...

Great footage and review - did moisture ingress to the optic path at the end of your stay? I noted a substantial haze in your last shot which didn't look like the weather would support it?

Just fascinating...

Godadamn, im from Slovenia, and you've been shooting in more places for one review than me so far :(

Nice video, but were your lenses or filters fogged up on many shots?

Hi, could you tell me what the name and type of gimbal in 4:15? Thanks.

Hey Kriss and Ben! Very much appreciate the awesome vid, but very curious about moire or aliasing issues on the 4k 10bit setting- thoughts?

Fantastic overview, the location is heaven! The main question for me is will the GH5s support the Metabones Speed booster XL _ Sigma 18-35 combo? If yes, I'm pre-ordering this camera now.

Hi, could you say which ND filter you used please?

great job

I think the vlog l also comes free for gh5 when updated to v2.2 coz i got it after upgrading

Thank you, a very good first look at the gh5s - and the GAS ist going on (gear aquasition syndrome) ;-)
