Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 II Mirrorless
MFT CameraProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Panasonic LUMIX GH5M2 is the second generation Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera of the video-focused GH5 loved by many youtubers. With this upgrade, Panasonic has stuck to its guns and further improved the camera's video capabilities.
The new 20.3 MP MOS sensor with Anti-Reflective coating offers clearer images and better flare resistance at the sensor level. The built-in image stabilization on the GH5M2 is, unsurprisingly, upgraded over its predecessor to make ultra-low shutter speeds more usable and handheld videography less strenuous.
The GH5M2 also has some new tech, including the adoption of USB-C port as well as easy video streaming features (wired or wirelessly) that cater to the needs of modern content creators.
Last but not least, the GH5M2 is preinstalled with V-Log L, which affords the videographer 12 stops of dynamic range for post processing.
The GH5M2 is unveiled with a note that the GH6 is under development.

Reviewer score 81% (normalized by Neofiliac)Panasonic did a good job updating the aging GH5, a 2017 release. The GH5 II is still a 4K camera, fine for many projects, but not bleeding edge. If you want to record at higher resolutions, you may want to hold out and wait for the 5.7K GH6.
Pros
- High-quality 4K video
- V-Log L included
- Excellent autofocus
Cons
- No HDMI port
- No Raw recording

However, its autofocus system is only decent at tracking moving subjects.

Reviewer score 85% (normalized by Neofiliac)The GH5 II has the same 20.3MP sensor as the GH5, but with an anti-reflective coating. It can record 4:2:0 10-bit C4K and 4K video at 60/50fps and anamorphic. 6K mode your images will be 18MP in size; in 4K, they're 8MP. There's also a Variable Frame Rate mode for fast- and slow-motion output.
Pros
- Compact and lightweight
- Excellent image quality
- Excellent battery life
Cons
- Not the best stills performer
- Micro Four Thirds sensor

Reviewer score 78% (normalized by Neofiliac)The GH5 II uses a similar sensor to the original. It’s a 20.3-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor, and the only difference seems to be the addition of an anti-reflective design to minimise flare from bright lights. Performance is largely on a par with the GH5 – which is to say it's decent. Image quality is fairly impressive considering the physically small size of the sensor. Details are sharp and colours clean in optimal lighting conditions.
Pros
- Impressive image quality
- Excellent battery life
- Fast autofocus
Cons
- Not as fast or reliable as the GH5
