Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S MFT Mirrorless Camera (2018)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S is a mirrorless camera in the Micro Four Thirds-mount system optimized for videography. Introduced by Panasonic in 2018, it comes with a micro four thirds sensor with 10 MP (3680 x 2760) resolution and a 3.68 million-dot EVF.
The camera has a usable battery life, though a second battery may be a good thing to keep in your camera bag. One should note that the Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S has a 160 base ISO, which is not conducive to getting the cleanest images. The 12.0 fps burst rate serves enthusiasts well enough, though some professionals may find it limiting.
The Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S comes with a fully articulated touch display and 225 autofocus points.
