Panasonic Announce Development of Flagship 4K Mirrorless GH5 Camera with 4K/60p Video and 6K Stills Capture!
Earlier today at the Photokina 2016 trade show in Germany, Panasonic announced the development of their most advanced 4K mirrorless camera to date - the much anticipated Panasonic LUMIX GH5. The successor to the very popular GH4 features some eyebrow raising features such as 6K photo capture, 4K video at 60 frames per second, and internal recording in 10bit 422 colour sub-sampling - a feat that no other stills camera has to date.
Panasonic have not released the full video specifications of the camera, as they only showed a GH5 prototype at their press conference earlier this morning and also announced the final product will ship sometime in the first half of 2017, which is a very broad time frame.
Pricing is also not yet known, but judging by the affordability of the current GH4, we think the GH5 will not stray too much from that (maybe slightly more expensive, and definitely more affordable compared to bigger DSLR type cameras).
The upcoming Panasonic GH5 is surely going to be a very popular camera with indie filmmakers and content creators, in our opinion even more than the predecessor was. Of course, creating phenomenal content isn't really all down to the camera or gear you use, but it does play an important role.
And by giving high-end features normally found on proper camcorders - such as 10bit 422 colour sub-sampling and even 4K/60p, which only the 4 x more expensive and much bigger Canon 1DX II can do at the moment, Panasonic may very well have yet another big hit on their hands with the GH5...
The only thing left now is the waiting... which tends to be the hardest. For those of you out there looking to get a GH4 on a great deal - we have a few units left in stock with the YAGH box at a super low price.
