GH5 Panasonic S1H
- Thread starter alohype
- Start date
It's a GH5 with a FF sensor (and a fan!) at slightly less than 3X price. A real bargain!
Well it's more of a FF GH5s with more dynamic range, a full LOG profile, potentially better low light, and from Griffon Hammond's ISO tests with the S1, the S1H should produce a slightly more refined image. ( I don't know if I would call it more detail, but it's better looking detail than the GH5s, which already looks great )

It seems like there aren't any manual EF adapters out there right now (maybe you can find something from China).
The most common is the Sigma for $249:

There are a bunch of other L-mount adapters (including Nikon), but for some reason manual EF ones from popular companies aren't currently available.
EDIT: This one popped up which I didn't see a few days ago: https://www.amazon.com/Haoge-Manual...nt+EF+adapter&qid=1559583244&s=gateway&sr=8-3

Sigma is an official partner in the L-mount alliance, $250 isn't too much. If you're this early in the game I'd go with that until there's some better proven options out there.
The benefit of L mount is much like the benefit of m43 - short flange distance, you can adapt almost anything. Well, in theory. Before April 4, this was a Leica only mount so only a handful of adapters were out there. But I suspect this will grow rapidly in the coming year now that Panasonic has 3 models out and Sigma will follow soon with their camera.
I suppose it's a GH5 for 3x the price... but it's also a stripped down EVA1 for significantly less. The GH5 XLR adapter works on it.
If you don't need 4k 60p 10-bit 422 internal, the S1 is basically the same thing with firmware update. I'll likely be selling mine here in the fall time to move to the S1H.

Yeah, sorry for the lack of clarity. I was just referring to only a handful of adapters for EF / or options for mounts. Most of those are Novoflex which is fine but they're really expensive for being old dumb adapters. I would expect to see fotodiox, metabones, and others get in on the action soon.
I have also had a hard time as an early adopter finding rear lens and body caps. The other week some popped up on ebay (non Leica) for $8 per cap, yikes. Much better than $40 a cap for rear/body caps. I expect we'll see an influx of those shortly, too, when you can buy a 4 pack of rear and body caps for $8.

Why "6"? Or "V"? What the heck could those mean in the name?
Video? Why not GH5V then?
Is it five? So this is the fifth version of camera 6?
Or does this one specifically take 6V batteries?
What's GH?
And S?

If you question one Japanese camera name then you'll have to question all of them.

Apparently Panasonic's response to the H was:
"Panasonic has said the 'H' in the name represents the same qualities as the one in the GH models: a stills/video hybrid with high quality. And, if we look at the specifications, there's a lot of overlap with the capabilities of the company's GH5."
