At the 11:00 mark on the video above, Matt says your cannot have punch in focus while recording, yet in Nick's interview chat, he said you could. What's the truth here?
Sean Robinson mentions improved colour science - haven't heard anyone mention that before. Hopefully goodybe to that yellowy default look Lumix cameras have always had.
...still, from what we can see here, the low light performance of this camera need attention
What are you comparing this to? For a m4/3 sensor, the noise level and color retention at iso 6400 is excellent, to me. With some good noise reduction in post it will look very very good. You cannot compare this to the a6300/a6500 as they have a larger sensor, and stronger noise reduction in camera which definitely creates its own problems. At least the GH5 wont have any motion ghosting like the Sonys do.
Oh. Also a shot of the HDMI lock in the interview with Sean :)
OMG ! Plents of moire in the girls backpack in the end of the video ...hope this is YT compression...
wow, ISO 6400 is looking pretty dang good.
@joethepro This is a good point. And, aren't you comparing right now? As a buyer I do compare photocameras between a price range from, uhm, 900 to 2700 $/€. If the next month Panasonic will announce a new 40MP sensor camera at 2950$, then I will compare it with GH5 and everything else.
Furthermore, until this camera is not on the market, I'd rather prefer to be critical and prudent. Whenever Panasonic could give us more, I will be fine.
@labalbi - of course there is lots of moire. this is pixel binned 1080p. looks worse than GH2 to my eye. Just like all the other 4k cams out there.
The slow mo bird video is slowed down to 25% in post, so of course it has artifacts
@labalbi earlier the same backpack does not moire so seems scene specific maybe due to how sun is hitting it so might be rare occurrence to early to tell.
@ labalbi,
Why OMG? Moire is to be expected in the 180 fps 1080p mode. This is a "special" mode and not indicative of moire in other modes like 4k 10 bit , etc.
Has this been posted? I did not see it
GH4 was so shit...;)
Thanks, I put it on PV and also added link to it in http://www.personal-view.com/faqs/gh5-notes/gh5-notes
Specially for you, same type presentation for GH4
@kinvermark That the 180 is approaching GH2 quality is amazing to me. That is a personal standard for 'good enough' (still using, and will continue to use, the GH2), and I've always wanted super slow motion in such a tiny camera.
It is impressive
@AKED nice! Where did you get it? I searched a lot for it back in CES but could only grab a few snapshots that Newsshooter interview showed - that was taken down afterwards... hahahaha...
@theSUBVERSIVE A friend from the Ukraine send it to me. I have to ask where he got it from.
It was found on a russian photo forum by my ukranian friend.
As far as I know it is made in head office and was sent to regional ones.
Most interesting part in it is about AF and DFD especially.
From the presentation pdf... "Standards are being advanced to link with HDR still pictures by 2018."
So it sounds like we could see a further firmware update next year to implement 10 or 12 bit HDR jpegs. http://www.popphoto.com/news/2014/01/jpeg-standard-91-will-bring-12-bit-color-lossless-compression
