- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: NMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)

- Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
- Digital Zoom: 4x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)

Q: When will this be in stock?
A: As of September 26, 2018, it appears as though the GH5s is Sold Out at all Best Buy stores and warehouses from Compton to Texas don't have any either. Panasonic USA does have inventory. How many, that I don't know. Other retail outlets have stock, so I would guesstimate that Best Buy should be receiving inventory replenishment any day now. I see you posted your question over two weeks ago, and you quite possibly already have made your purchase. I'm just a Panasonic fan who has been n the business for too many years and I know how thing roll. If I could drive up to Cypress, CA to Panasonic in Irvine and get you one, I would, but I would have to get at least 30 more just for San Diego to temporarily fill the want gap. Including mine. Honestly, it could be days or it could be weeks depending on allocation. Check with your local Best Buy Camera department and also touch base with the store manager and let him or her know of your intention. I have a great rapport with Ernesto in Photo and Karim the manager, and we are all on the same page for when stock comes in. Nobody is jumping ahead, its all fair and square, and they know who's been waiting the longest. I hope this has helped. Terry
Q: I'd also like to know when this camera will be back in stock.
