Panasonic's GH5s gets 4K ProRes RAW recording via a firmware update
Panasonic has unveiled ProRes RAW recording for the GH5s, a feature not found on any GH models to date including the newly unveiled GH5 II.
Why Panasonic’s GH5s is my go-to for 4K review videos
The GH5s is a great camera my 4K video reviews because it has great handling and exceptional video quality.
Panasonic’s GH5s is perfect for video shooters and no one else
Panasonic was the first company to embrace mirrorless camera video, with the GH1, helping to change the way low-budget movies could be made. Finally, videographers had a (reasonably) large sensor camera that could handle autofocus, external microphones and 1080p video. The company raised the bar with each subsequent model, introducing 4K video with the GH4 and internal 10-bit 4K with the GH5. With the launch of the GH5s, however, Panasonic made a gutsy move by launching a mirrorless camera that prioritizes video in a way that none of its rivals have. As a fan of large-sensor video, I was curious to test it out, especially for low-light shooting. My conclusion? It produces the best video of any mirrorless camera on the market. But many folks considering it -- like documentary makers, event videographers and vloggers -- will likely prefer the GH5, which has built-in stabilization and costs $400 less.
Panasonic's GH5s is the ultimate mirrorless camera for 4K video
The GH5 has been a video-centric camera since its debut, but Panasonic is pushing that into new territory with the launch of the GH5s mirrorless. Aimed specifically at videographers, it has a 10.2-megapixel "dual ISO" sensor with half the resolution of the 20.2-megapixel GH5. That gives it much better low-light sensitivity (up to ISO 51,200 native and 204,800 extended), and there's a full sensor readout at up to Cinema 4K resolution (2,160 x 4,096) video, at 60 frames per second.
