Description

The GH5S is even more tailored for video creators than the GH5. It features less photo friendly options and more video options such as the ability to shoot DCI 4K at up to 60p with no crop, 10-bit 4:2:2 internal capture at up to 30p, Hybrid Log Gamma mode, and more.

Pros:

  • Fully articulating screen
  • Video-optimized sensor produces less rolling shutter and moiré.
  • Dust, splash, and freeze resistant

Cons:

  • No internal image stabilization since it’s expected that gimbals and other professional stabilization equipment will be used.
  • 10-bit 4:2:2 video is not available at all frame rates
