No GH6 yet, but I'd say the GH5 II is a very welcome upgrade, at a good price, and it makes the original GH5 more affordable. Winnings all around.

I found a GH5m2 in mint condition on Ebay three months ago at $950 and couldn't resist buying it. I'm so glad I did, love it
Yeah, this wasn't as disappointing an announcement as everyone was making it out to be.
Also, it bodes well for what we can expect for the GH6, I think.
And yes, M43 is here to stay, like FRFR
I may have to get one of these. The anamorphic IBIS is just so good!
I really like this update. I love how Panasonic continually improves existing cameras over time. DJI also needs a mention in this regard with their upgrades to the Action, while GoPro and Sony reserve improvements for new models and ignore existing users once they have the purchase money in their hand.
Cool! I've followed your channel a while now. And now you get a preview GH5 II. Congrats!
As always, greetings from Sweden!
Ayyyy look at you bro! I’ve always been impressed by the GH series cameras
Thanks for this awesome updatevideo!
Since i´m shooting everything with my GH5 since 2017,
this really hypes me. I only wished they had put a dual native ISO
and 10 Bit for the 1080p Slow-Mo in the Mark II.
But Iove the updates.
Greetings from Germany!
Thank you, for your short answer about GH5II and GH6. Those with budget conscious better go with GH5II
I just found this video. Excellent! Very helpful. I need to stay within a budget. Your review reminded me of the power and capabilities of this camera for video. Thank you!
4:40 Bravo!
Thanks, man. Great review - covered a lot of things others won't.
Thanks Mark! That's what I'm aiming for here. :)
Sold my G9. Sticking with the GH5 for the time.
There's no immediate need for an upgrade, I can wait it out till the GH6 finally arrives.
From what I've heard they're targetting $2500.
Cool as well they'll have a 25-50mm f/1.7 to pair with the 10-25mm f/1.7.
Man, did you come from the 80's? 😉
Love your content! Cheers!
Technically I come from 89, so... yes? :P
Thank you so much!
I'll wait for the GH6 to come out. Rumors say it will be released by the end of this year.
Brilliant marketing by Panasonic! This release assures that they will keep a lock on this market segment when they come out with the new GH6, which is in a higher market segment of its own.
Great review!! Also happy they remmebered to update the GH5s
Thanks man, this video makes me feel better about getting the boxed monster BGH1!
The best GH5 II video so far. Thx.
Thank you!
Good review the battery is useful and the internal points.
Usb charging, streaming without computer and 10bit 4k60 internaly are more than enough reasons for a gh5 2. it is cheaper also than the original gh5 . For me as qn existing gh5 user this is a great update. Of course gh6 will be better but it also costs 1000 more.
Thanks for the breakdown Tito! BTW, what cam and lens are you using for this vlog?
I used the GH5II for this video, for the Sirui 75 review, and the one on mist filters. :)
1:39 I have heard many call the S5 the mini S1H. I am a bit of a snob for low light shooting but it seems that the full frame sensor has really limited me in terms of focusing with that razor thin depth of field.
I know it seems impossible, but if they make the GH6 have similar DR and low light to their S5, I will go completely back to MFT because I really miss the tiny size and butter smooth stabilization.
Also I hate crops so this S5 is an enigma for me, especially for anamorphic shooting (never experienced it since I don't have much money). Great low light and dynamic range, but slightly worse stabilization and extremely expensive optics.
I don't know what to do honestly
Reallyyy awesome review. Quick, simple and to the point. Always lose yours 2D animation and sound effects combination.
Cool, thx !
Where do you get the idea that it has the S1H color science? I’ve googled and can’t find that comparison or claim anywhere. I’ve read that it’s been updated to Panasonic’s current color standards. Are their current color standards the same as the color science from the S1H?
Yes. I got that from talking to Panasonic themselves. All their new cameras use the Varicam color science. :)
Ironically, I'm more happy about the GH5S ProRes raw update than the GH5ii. I don't have any m43 gear yet, but I think it's one of the cheaper entry "cine" cams.
That is a great update to the GH5S - amazingly capable.
Hellll yeah more and cheapr GH fives in the market!
As tempting as it is to just buy that camera at launch I'd rather wait for the GH5 to get cheaper on the used market and invest in (anamorphic) glass in the mean time. Although, I am fairly happy with my two Lumix G2 for the time being. They are certainly old, but they are like an old trustworthy friend that just gets the job done. Sadly, editing the footage is... limited with 8-bit AVCHDLite.
G2? :-o Wow, not tempted by even say a G6? They're cheap as chips, and a huge leap forward.
I absolutely love how easy to use and reliable my two G2s are. I mean, they can take a beating and if one of them would get f'ed up I'd just buy another one. You can get them on eBay for like 30 bucks or so. Plus it's not like they are my only cameras. I do own a Canon C100 Mk1 as well. So nope, not tempted :)
Good video as always man! Can you record to usb yet?
And what about 6k out over HDMI? Should be possible if they (hopefully) updated GH5II to HDMI v2.1.
Great video. You packed a lot in there and caught a few things I missed! I’d love to chat anamorphic with you sometime. I’m pretty new to it. Maybe join me on my live show sometime?
Thank you! I've watched looots of videos from you, by the way! hahaha. It would be awesome to join you. How do we work this out? :)
@@AnamorphicOnABudget email or DM me on Twitter
email sent! :)
Help please. I just bought this camera for church. When I look into the camera I dont see the image. What do I need to do in order to see the before taking a picture or video? So I was just used to basic cameras. Please help.
So, same price as Lumix S5. I think GH5 ii is still a good deal for M4/3 users, but as a S1H user, I'm bit confused about their price tags and policy.
Where i live the gh52 is 1400 thats quite a bit cheaper than s5
@@castielvargastv7931 If only it was like that here in the US! Over here the S5 is cheaper than the GH5ii when each paired with their respective kit lenses.
I'm just gonna get the p4k. Much better option for me
Yea, panny was sooo far ahead of the game. Like canon in the past. Panny is like canon now, trailing behind with the other big two. They all make very good cameras, but they're lacking in so many areas (panny, canon) with crazy price points. Either that or their features (sony) are nothing new in cameras years older and they charge a premium for that.
If you're shooting seriously or in anamorphic, the pocket 4k is still the king of the consumer market. You can prefer other cameras, but nothing gives as much for as little.
@@dpc4548 yea, 2 main reasons. Video features are very easy to access as the menus are made for video.
Also. Raw. I installed magic lantern on my Eos m. I cannot imagine paying so much for camera and not getting to record in raw internally
Does the Gh5 use the same batteries with the Gh5ii?
Yes and no. The GH5II can take the same batteries as the GH5, but some functionalities are disabled in that scenario.
No RAW ?
No raw, at least not yet.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget thinking it must come - the Olympus OM-D EM1 III got it recently
Where buy it ??

The gh5s was a fine camera, but with no sdi like the gh4, no raw recording like cameras half its price and this new one has kept the worst of both worlds. Ibis, no sdi, no raw... It's hardly a bad camera, but there's still little reason to upgrade from the gh4 or overlook better cameras that retail at the same price. Especially for anamorphic.
This camera has IBIS, what are you talking about? hahaha. Especially for anamorphic, what is the better camera, at this price, or even up to $2500? Besides, you only get SDI and raw recording in cameras much more expensive than this. :P
@@AnamorphicOnABudget Yes, it does have IBIS, I said that. SDI comes with the GH4, raw recording comes from cameras starting at $800. The Blackmagic line, for example. Again, the newer GH cameras are far from bad cameras, they're just not for serious broadcast or cinematic work.
if GH6 doesnt have RAW, I am going BMPCC6K Pro
GH5s will have raw with firmware update in June.
@@Filmmaker809 External I guess? Well thats better than nothing. Let me wait for GH6S
