Panasonic has just announced the release of the new GH5 II, alongside news that the GH6 will arrive by the end of this year. What improvements have been made and who will be buying this in-between camera?
Kai Wong joins Lok Cheung to take the new GH5 II for a walk on the streets of the U.K., discussing some of the updated features and trying to dissect who this camera is for. Given that this segment of the marketplace is now far more crowded than it was when the GH5 was released four years ago, it’s further complicated by Panasonic itself who has teased the arrival of the GH6, which is expected to be announced by the end of 2021.
If you’re like me, you’ll be delighted to see Wong and Cheung reunited in a YouTube gear review, taking me back in time to their seven years at DigitalRev TV and their hilariously irreverent/childish approach to making videos. Cheung’s recent arrival in the U.K. from Hong Kong has a complex backstory, which you can find on his channel, and you can catch Cheung and Wong shooting the breeze in what you can assume is Wong’s back garden, chatting rubbish and catching up in person in this recent video. Welcome back, gentlemen.
