I purchased this camera and lens for my business. I'm a part time wedding videographer and I needed an upgrade from my Nikon. I did a lot of research before buying this camera, too. I've filmed 3 weddings so far with this camera, and I have no complaints. The auto focus is quick, options out of the wazoo for videos and still pictures. I'm going to be using this camera for a long time

I have owned each GH camera since the GH3 and love that they have kept the same basic design. The ergonomics are the best of any camera I have used and the updated menu system is easier to navigate. The most welcome feature for me is the Image Stabilization. Using the 100-400 Leica with the udated I.S.2 I am able to take hummingbird pictures at 800mm handheld... just insane! Loving it so far...

Great camera for both video and stills. Clean HDMI output is also great for streaming, but an external power supply is needed to stream for over an hour.

- poor autofocus while shooting video
- excellent customization with settings and functions
- on the heavier side compared to other canon dslrs
- great growth potential as I advance with skill. Many other reviews of this camera are online

Prior to buying this camera I did a ton of research on it. Now that I have it it’s been easy to learn and fun to use. I’m using for both stills and videos. If you have the money and willing to make the investment I suggest you seriously look into this Panasonic GH5. This camera is amazing!
Also, I feel very comfortable buying it from Best Buy because of their warranty and ease of buying it online.

BEAST MODE OF A CAMERA!!!

Afters years of researching, we felt confident purchasing the GH5. It is a BEAST of a camera. From stills to videos, it can handle 4k+ footage and everything about the camera is so ideal. The flip out touch screen is perfect for vlogging, while its robust body can take a great amount of stress and beating. It's completely weather sealed which is perfect for piece of mind. We took this bad boy out for a 2 weeks travel and it withholds even the extremely conditions. the GH5 is a great investment for anyone looking for a future prove camera.

This camera/lens kit is the most bang for the buck! It's well known among seasoned pros and budding film makers! It's got many professional features that are only found on cameras literally costing tens of thousands of dollars more! This camera's capabilities are phenomenal! Check out 4k 60fps video shot in Vlog and properly edited / color graded. They're all over YouTube and Vimeo! The evidence is out there. I did meticulous research and I can only conclude with MOST BANG FOR THE BUCK!

Bought this after researching several cameras. Image stabilization and video quality is fantastic. I haven't tried 4K yet though. Be aware VLog is sold separately. It does record sound in camera which is great, and the customizable buttons will be handy as I get more familiar with the camera. Autofocus has issues as others have said, but I mainly manual focus anyway.

Best Micro Four Thirds camera.

Bought this camera primarily for 4K videos to upload for YouTube. I was surprised to find out that it takes amazing photos as well for having a micro four thirds sensor. The lens kit includes a $1000 Leica 12-60mm lens which is an amazing value. Unlimited video recording in 10bit 400mb/s in 4K is what puts this camera in a class of it's own. If you are serious about video & photo. This camera is for you.

Love it! The quality of the giraffe and sturdy build make this an excellent camera. Better for video, but still produces best pictures. Only complaint is that vlog is a separate purchase and the Panasonic app is total garbage. Definitely need some accessories to take it over the edge, but still great out of the box

After a full month of using this amazing camera,the main screen started glitching badly,returned to Best buy and they were very nice and understandable,not sure if it's a bug or what but I hope Panasonic fix this problem as I already discover many people experience the same issue
