Exceptional: Panasonic Lumix GH5 II with 12-60mm for €999 or €799 on Amazon (-€500), unmatched for true videomakers

On Amazon, the Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 II has dropped by almost €500 with the Lumix G Vario 12-60 mm F3.5-5.6 lens (equivalent to 24-120 mm in 35 mm).

It has never been seen at €999, just like at €799 for the body only.

We are talking about a Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera primarily designed for advanced video production. It uses a 20.3 megapixel Live MOS sensor with an anti-reflective coating, 5-axis in-body stabilization, and double SD UHS-II slots. The body is tropicalized against dust and water splashes, while the tilting 3" touchscreen and high-resolution OLED viewfinder make it suitable for both field shooting and professional use.

On the video front, the GH5 II remains one of the most complete mirrorless cameras in its category. It records internally in DCI 4K and UHD 4K up to 60 fps, supports 10-bit internal recording 4:2:2 up to 4K 30p and 10-bit 4:2:0 up to 4K 60p, along with H.264 and H.265/HEVC codecs. It also includes the pre-installed V-Log L profile, which allows greater flexibility in color correction, boasting a declared dynamic range of around 12 stops.

Via HDMI, it can send a signal up to 4:2:2 10-bit, a highly appreciated feature in professional productions that utilize external recorders. Among the features that still set it apart today are limitless video recording in many modes, support for 4K Photo and 6K Photo modes, integrated wireless streaming, and particularly effective stabilization for handheld shooting. Compared to many competitors of the same generation, the GH5 II has been explicitly designed for videomakers and creators who need long recordings, logarithmic profiles, professional audio through microphone input and headphone output, and a complete video workflow without immediately resorting to external recorders.
