This Panasonic GH5S camera will be an “ultra” video oriented low-light version of the current Panasonic GH5 and it is expected to be announced in the next several months, probably at CES show 2018 in Las Vegas (January 9-12) or at CP+ show 2018 in Japan (March 1-4), and it will be priced around $2,500 USD.
 
the gh5s looks like a great camera and i'm not even frightened of the price.

i just truly wish panasonic would incorporate phase detection or create a contrast detection autofocus system that performs as well as canon's dual focus af.

i much prefer the ergos of nearly all panasonic cameras.

yes, the canon color science remains lovely but i can tweak the panasonic color in acquisition and it is good enough for me.

i am not a brand loyalist or snob but i have been very pleased with the four panasonic cameras that i have owned in the past dozen years.

now if they can only get that af thing working....

be well.

Yes, AF seems to be the unknown at this point. It really is a big deal for me as well since the Sony and Canon cameras do it so well. They have to be aware of this and hopefully a new sensor gives them a window for improvements.
 
What is exciting about this is that it may really help push forward and secure the M43 format for professional video production.

Not saying that it was gloom and doom prior, only pointing out that when DR and ISO improve as much as rumored here, other factors begin to take precedence and there are a lot of advantages to m43 when DR/ISO aren't cited as the platforms drawbacks.

For example, a GH5s with a Leica 50-200 (or the larger Leica 100-400) and Dual IS: That is an incredible tool for a 400mm (or 800mmm) Dual IS stabilized zoom with a great lowlight. It could make shooting sports and wildlife videos on a GH5s unparalleled. Try that on an A7S! etc.

So a 10 mp m43 sensor is 'competitive' with a 12mp sensor on a 36x24mm sensor - good luck with that......

No, but as a whole package, 10bit, battery battery life, 5-axis stabilization, etc.
You're not going to be shooting in the dark with it, but if it gives us clean 1600 ISO and usable 3200, that's pretty good.

It's about the footage it produces. Sony has a LOT of catching up to do just for the GH5. This new GH5s camera will push the goal-posts even further from Sony...

Isn't GH5/G9 already very clean at iso 1600? I'd expect GH5s to be at least a stop better.

Yup. I think it's safe to assume that ISO 3200 may be very, very clean on the new release. Beyond that, we'll see, but 6400 may genuinely become a valid solution for live event and documentary shooters who need a little extra.

I'm mostly curious about the DR and how far it can push. 13 stops seems like a safe assumption. But might we get 13.5+?

If we're looking at h265 hvec encoding, high FPS shooting may get substantially better as well even at the same bitrates.
 
4.63um Microns, BSI.

For reference - anyone know the photosite size in microns of the EVA1? Does the EVA1 utilize BSI?

(EVA1 is a 24.60mm x 12.97mm sensor with 17.25 million photosites - but I'm not sure how to convert that to photosite size in microns. Or how it compares to say, VaricamLT, Sony A7S).

By those numbers, the EVA1 would be about 4.3 microns. The VariCam LT has bigger pixels, as it has half as many in the same space.
 
So the rumored GH5s specs give it larger photosites than the EVA1, *and* a BSI sensor to boot?

That points to potentially better lowlight and DR than the S35 EVA1... at the cost of detail resolving, of course, but some may not be too opposed to that notion...
 
I think there will be plenty of detail resolved. :) I read 240fps in 1080p as well. If the AF can be improved to just working well in all situations this will be quite a camera release. Three weeks away.

I really, really (read: REALLY) hope they can solve the HDMI out lag in this one. When I first got my GH4, it didn't bother me much, but now that I'm doing more stuff involving dialogue and critical focus pulls, it's killing me.

With you on this. That lip flap on external monitors scares producers. :-D
