About this model
The Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 is a mirrorless camera built for hybrid shooting, equally at home with stills and video. Its 20.3-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor delivers detailed images, while the 5-axis Dual I.S. II system combats shake with compatible lenses. Video is a highlight: internal 4K recording at up to 60p, 4:2:2 10-bit output over HDMI, and a weather-sealed magnesium alloy body. The included Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. lens covers a useful 24-120mm equivalent range, ideal for everyday shooting. The GH5 offers extensive manual controls, a 3.2-inch free-angle touchscreen and a high-resolution electronic viewfinder, making it a popular choice for videographers and photographers alike.
