Panasonic S5

I've seen that IBIS comment posted before and it's really a head-scratcher and maybe a result of improper utilization of the system.

Similar to saying Sony and Canon have poor AF.

I think Gerald Undone's review of the S5 compared the IBIS with the S1 and S1h and it performed noticeably worse. That could be a pre-production issue, but it's worth noting:

The way it worked in the Olympus world is each tier had better, improved performance. (Not sure if any newer 2019/2020 entry level models eventually caught up, but it was what it was.)

I wouldn't expect the Panasonic S5 to be on the S1H's level, but I would expect it to be better than Canon and Sony (which has been the case in the MFT world).

Better than canon IBIS? Canon ibis seems great as far as I can tell

They will both have their strengths and weaknesses based on applications and practice...I just meant in general in the overall context and in the past 4-5-6 years as Canon just started with it last month.

This test suggests IBIS on S5 is not as good as S1H, at least for walking.

The question I have is it as good as the GH5. If so, I'm fine with it.

Also... just pre-ordered one.

So at around the 3:50 mark of this Panny S5 review by Caleb he makes an INTERESTING note about the battery. To me it feels like a subtle hint that this new battery will work in the GH6. Anyone else get that vibe?

Well, ProATV says that the new battery will work in the GH5, so it's a fair bet that if there is ever a GH6 that it would work for that too....

Johnny from CinemaNoLonger5D has a review and a clip. The clip looks meh.

For me Johnny has lost his credibility since was paid by Adobe for a trip to their office in California and wrote nothing but flattery trivia. I clicked the clip away after a minute. meh is still benevolent.
