Panasonic GH5 vs HCV800

PANASONIC GH5 vs PANASONIC HC-V800
Testing the GH5 against the HC-V800 with the best everyday use settings.
The GH5 is of course a 4K 10 BIT 400MBPS camera, how does the 1080P 8 BIT 50MBPS HC-V800 compare?
The HC-V800 is marketed as a good low light performer, whilst the GH5 is poor at low light but has a superior sensor (in comparison). How will the two handle true low light and extreme low light conditions? How does the industry leading in camera stabilization compare between both cameras with one costing over three times as much as the other?

Great comparison. Both cameras do something well that compliment each other for each of their permissible shortcomings. There is something unique about the GH5 in how it handles 4K that I like. But for under 500, the HC-V800 is a great way to get into 4K footage without hurting the wallet so much. Cheers!

Thanks for watching!

Except that the V800 doesn't do 4K 😏😉 (the VX1 is the 4K equivalent of the V800 iirc)

Not sure what conclusions to draw from a £1,700 4k hybrid going up against a £400 HD camcorder apart from the camcorder punches well above it's weight.

Ah yes, it was more for the stabilization (OIS) on the cameras that is actually really good on both models - the HCV800 is rather brilliant at keeping the image movements down to a minimum considering its cost, as shown when put against the far more expensive GH5. Our new (an more expensive) Sony full frame is a massive drop in stabilization in comparison to the pair of these - so the 5+ year old tech seems to be holding its ground!

@@MineExploration interesting, I’d dearly love a GH5 but just starting out I’m going to try and create basic content with the HCV. Just a shame I didn’t go the extra mile back in 2012 and go for the 900 with external mic docket. :(
