GH4 Panasonic GH5 coming in 2017

First possible indication of the hdmi lag, and it still looks as bad as the GH4. Around 2:35 on this video, in the corner of the frame, someone starts playing with a GH5 connected to a monitor, possibly an Atomos Shogun. When he pans sharply, you can see the significant delay--

Argh, that's a shame if it makes it into production firmware with that lag, since it effectively means you can't operate from an external monitor properly.

The only saving grace here is that 10bit 4:2:2 internal recording meaning there's less need for an external monitor in the first place.

Still, sad to see it hasn't been addressed :(

Good find!

Cheers,

Paul :)

Yeah, not speed in terms of encoder speed, but in terms of total throughput.

In the case of the GH5, h265 was selected because h264 cannot handle frames wider than 4096 pixels so it would have never worked for the 6k photo mode. Larger than 4k frames is one major advantages to h265 and something we will likely start to see a lot more of as we gradually inch more towards a world where we want even more than 4k. Processor wise H265 likely works for the 6k photo mode since no down conversion or extra pixel processing has to take place on the sensor.

Too bad we will likely not get a decent option for external recording for the 6k photo mode. HDMI standards will likely never support an odd format like that and at best we can hope for a 4k down conversion when using HDMI output.
 
To me it is hard to tell, but I think the GH5 appears to have less lag than a GH4 going into a PIX-E5. Would like to have better example before deciding.
 
Looks awesome. High ISO is very impressive indeed. Shocked by how clean 6400 is. Live event, weddings, and documentaries will never be the same. This camera is going to kill it for that kind of work with its feature set.

Well, he is using some really fast lenses + the Speedbooster. Get one of those Zeiss .7 that Kubrick bought for "Barry Lyndon" or Mitakon .95 and the low light performance will be slightly better than with a 3.5-5.6 kit lens.

The fast lenses have nothing to do with the ISO 6400 quality. They have everything to do with how low the light can be when you shoot with ISO 6400.

Nothing exotic. They are f/1.4 lenses that become f/1.0 lenses with the SpeedBooster. ( Sigma ART lenses are really nice glass )

Mitakon 25mm .95 MFT is $369 at Adorama (not a bad deal, really)

Yes and no. Highlights and/or shade may hide the noise better than the midtones, so a high ISO shot at bright daytime is likely to have less visible noise than the same ISO shot during the low light hours.
