The best filmmaker's mirrorless camera in 2017
Posted .Excellent image quality, matching the legendary Canon's fantastic skin tones. 4K video and an easy to work with set of video formats. Double stabilization (if used with a compatible lens), great audio features, clean HDI output for those who are looking to do LIVE video, dual sd card slots + many many other, truly made for a filmmaker features.

Easily the very best micro four third camera
Posted .I used to own the Panasonic GH2, GH3, GH4 and now the GH5 and every model up was quite an improvement in all aspects and this one is no exception. This is easily the very best micro four third camera you can buy. Don’t listen to the bad reviews regarding the autofocus; autofocus is working just fine on this camera and actually it is improved over the GH4. I very much like the slightly larger (about 10%) body, on all the previous models I used to have a battery grip attached just so I can hold it better and have a better grip on the camera but so far it seems I don’t need a battery grip at all for the GH5. I mainly use this camera for shooting real estate with the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 7-14mm, this combination produces outstanding picture quality and videos with in camera body stabilization.

Absolutely worth the upgrade from the GH4
||Posted .I'm a prosumer film maker and was hesitant to upgrade from the GH4. I've been out and done some filming and the purchase has been absolutely worth it. It is a bit more bulky, but not overly so. The most significant add for me is the in-camera stabilization. Coupled with a native panasonic MFT lens, the dual IS is crazy. I can shoot nearly like a slider with both the 12-35 and the 35-100. Highlight recommended. The only con is the auto-focus, but that's well-documented online.

Excellent but not for gimbal work
||Posted .This is an excellent camera and I will miss the 4K 60... if you are wanting this camera and autofocus Is your priority then I would not recommend it . If you are a manual shooter then I would highly recommend this camera even over the Sony a7iii and over the Sony as7ii... in my opinion autofocus is crucial for gimbal work and that is why I returned this camera and I am now waiting on the Sony a7iii... the only thing I will miss is the 4K footage at 60 frames per second. The a7iii is has way better dependable autofocus that I need and it is getting a lot of hype for alll of the photo and video features ... if you are a manual shooter who wants photos and video I would also recommend the a7iii . But like I said if your a manual shooter and are just looking for video features then get the gh5
