Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 II kit (12-60 f2.8-4)

Overview

Upgraded and redesigned, the Lumix DC-GH5 Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera with 12-60mm Lens from Panasonic provides an imaging platform for shooters who demand some of the best video and still photography quality they can get in a single compact camera. At the heart of the camera is a 20.3MP Digital Live MOS sensor and a newly developed Venus Engine processor, which both offer dramatically improved processing times over its predecessor. This enables the ability to record 4K video at up to 60 fps, 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording with select settings, Full HD video at up to 180 fps, 12 fps continuous shooting, and sensitivities up to ISO 25600. Also, the camera features built-in 5-axis sensor stabilization, which can work with certain lenses to activate Dual I.S. 2 for highly effective shake correction that can compensate for up to 5 stops of shutter speed. Other improvements include a speedier and more accurate Advanced DFD autofocus system that can lock on in just 0.05 seconds, as well as 6K PHOTO at 30 fps and 4K PHOTO at up to 60 fps.

Along with all these internal improvements, the body received some significant upgrades as well. For viewing and composing images both the 0.76x OLED viewfinder and 3.2" free-angle touchscreen received resolution bumps to 3.68m dots and 1.62m dots, respectively. This will make shooting more comfortable and more accurate. The magnesium-alloy body is now freezeproof to 14°F in addition to splash and dustproof. For fast image transfer and saving, there are now two UHS-II SD card slots. Additionally, for a completely wireless setup it offers both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for advanced functionality when paired with a mobile app.

Bundled with the camera body is the Leica DG Vario-Elmart 12-60mm f/2.8-4 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens, a versatile wide-angle to short telephoto zoom with an equivalent focal length of 24-120mm. The lens is an excellent match for the GH5 with sharp, well-corrected optics that create clear images with minimal aberrations. The lens also has a linear motor for fast, near-silent focusing during stills and video as well as the POWER Optical Image Stabilizer to minimize the appearance of camera shake. Additionally, the durable metal construction of the lens is splash, dust, and freezeproof.
