I have the latest on the Panasonic gh6, but before I get into the specs let's do
a quick recap of the GH5 just in case you're not familiar with this
powerful camera because the GH5 is still a powerful camera worth buying
today. I would even argue that it provides better value today as it has
been significantly discounted since it was launched in 2017.
So let's take a quick look at the gh 5 is arguably the best at in body image
stabilization even when walking fast the camera is capable of producing smooth
usable footage it provides 4k 60 internal 8-bit 42 recording this gives
us slow-motion in 4k internal 10-bit 4 to 2 is available in 4k at 24 30 frames
a second that's still a big deal even now
Canada's flagship DSLR the 1 DX mark 3 is only now adding that into their
$6,500 camera we also get high bit rates of 400 megabits and yes there are some
issues we do get more noise when recording in 10 but due to all the extra
processing going on slow motion in 1080 is possible all the way from 2 to 180
frames per second think about that for a minute - to 180 frames per second the gh
5 performs really well in low-light partially due to providing full sensor
readout dynamic range is really good and so is color we get vector scopes and
waveforms on screen while recording so we can visually see our exposure and
color information the gh 5 is perfect for YouTube and events use cases where
one is going to be pulling focus manually now I'm only covering the
highlights in this video and I know I'm missing an awful lot but this is just a
recap to setup the GH 6 watch this video by DP review for an in-depth look at the
gh 5
so with the g-h fight being so wonderful what does that leave for the gh6 well
let's take a look the gh6 is gonna have 8k 8-bit at 24 25
and 30 phrase for a second that's what the rumors are indicating right now I
myself personally I'm a little bit reserved on this I do believe that we're
gonna get 6k I do believe we're eating at 6k at a standard aspect ratio and not
in a three-to-two aspect ratio we will get 4k 10 bit 4 to 2 in all resolutions
up to 60 frames per second on the gh 5 we were limited to 24 and 30 frames a
second once you went up to 60 frames per second
it was 8-bit the depth from D focus contrast detect autofocus system yes
that is a lot of words it's gonna be pretty much copied over from the s1 H it
will be tweaked a little bit now this is the only problem I have with the the
pass ith series or Panasonic in general panasonic produces amazing cameras
they're constantly updating firmware and with that firmware you're not just
getting bug fixes bug fixes but you're getting enhancements Panasonic produces
incredible capabilities in their cameras for an incredible price but they are
just absolutely I don't know why it's like their heads stuck in the sand they
believe that they can make depth from D focus work they don't like the banding
and other artifacts you get when shooting with a face detect type
autofocus system but these issues are normally only they only occur if you're
shooting in a in a dark situation and you're really pushing those shadows and
highlights for most ordinary filmmakers or most filmmakers in general that's not
an issue I really wish panasonic would move to a
face T tact auto so Otto focus system and I know some of you were thinking yes
we're gonna get that in the gh6 but with the s-1 age being released just
what a couple of months ago four or five months ago wouldn't you expect it to be
in that camera arguably their flagship video camera in a DSLR body I'd find it
very hard-pressed to believe that we're gonna get a face detect Auto so out of
focus system but if they were to do that this camera to fly off the shelves it
would take market share from Canon from Fuji from Sony it would be truly amazing
we still get dual UHS to card slot so none of that CF Express stuff Ibis is a
little bit improved it's gonna have the same price as a rat well similar price
as the g h5 and g h5 s and it's going to have dual native ISO
the g8 six announcements going to happen at any time although we expect it to
happen in February and the gh6 will be available for sale the following month
in March
so I think that the gh6 is mostly gonna be a minor upgrade to most people what
you want to do is you want to look at all the capabilities all the outcomes
you want out of a camera and impair the gh 5 - what the gh 6 is actually gonna
have if you're shooting 4k then yes having a key or 6 K is very beneficial
because it allows you to punch in and create multiple camera angles and such
but the detail that you get in 1080p and 4k is truly amazing
this camera is gonna sell very very well but I don't think it's going to be the
revolution that many fans are expecting if you guys have any questions at all
