Panasonic - LUMIX GH5M2 4K Video Mirrorless Camera (Body Only), DC-GH5M2BODY - Black

Great used camera. It was rated a “Satisfactory” condition but I feel like it could easily be in the excellent category. No glaring cosmetic damage if any at all. Functions perfectly well and feels brand new.

I came from Sony's APS-C cameras and primarily am reviewing the GH5 Mark II as a video camera. Overall: The GH5 Mark II feels like a modern camera and delivers exceptionally cinematic performance in almost every way. It has the new S-series menu systems, usb-c, larger batteries supports professional video recording options. If you never owned a GH5, , then realize the camera is a little smaller than it appears in photos, which I think is a good thing. You'll need fast cards to capture the high quality formats (C4K 10-bit 4:2:2 etc.) but the good thing is you don't need any external recorders. Image quality: The GH5 Mark II out of the box using Cine-D or V-Log L picture profiles results in image that is so much more flexible than Sony's 8-bit format. The color science and rendering also feels more natural than the GH3 which I also owned. In my opinion ISO is useful up to 6400 with clean up and the dynamic range holds up at higher ISOs pretty well. S5 vs GH5 Mark II The S5 and the GH5 Mark ii are almost the same price, so I'll explain why a GH5 Mark ii might be more suitable for certain people. Don't let the MFT size sensor fool you. Shallow DOF is easily attainable. But it's not even always desirable as it's less of a concern for filmmaking. In that way, the MFT system seems ideal. I found it easy to adapt to other lens systems, especially for anamorphic shooting. MFT and vintage lens are affordable compared to L-mount lens. With a 25mm F1.8 the shallow DOF is substantial. But I also tested it with a Nikon 50mm f1.4 and 0.71x speedbooster and it feels like I I may be meeting or exceeding the DOF of Super 35mm (APS-C sized sensors). As a bonus, the GH5 Mark II has better IBIS than the S5 by a large margin. And you also get Open Gate anamorphic mode which uses the entire sensor to capture video.

absolutely love my Panasonic GH5M2! The video quality is stunning, super sharp 4K, and it handles low light really well. The image stabilization is a game-changer, and it’s built like a tank. Perfect for both pro work and passion projects. Totally worth it!

Great camera and reasonable price. I am very satisfied with the product ,easy to use

Really happy with my purchase, had the GH5 prior to this one and that one performed well. But the updated software on this made this better. And really glad I am able to use to live stream as well. Only I wish was the auto focus to be better, we use to this record podcast, and when there are multiple people in frame, it has a hard time focusing.
