A few months back, Panasonic unveiled not one but two successor models to the popular Lumix GH5 mirrorless camera, the GH5 Mark II and the GH6. The GH5 Mark II shares a lot of similarities with the original model, both on the outside and under the hood, including using the same 20.3-megapixel, albeit with some tweaks...
In-body image stabilization is one of the current frontiers in the design of modern digital camera systems, and it allows for IS with any lens mounted to the camera. As your trusted resource for testing and comparisons, we felt it was time to pit some of the most popular enthusiast-grade cameras against each other to see...
This week's Firmware Friday roundup is very likely a record-breaker when it comes to interchangeable-lens cameras. Even without including overseas equivalents, we have 20 DSLR and mirrorless cameras on the list from Canon, Nikon and Panasonic, and 24 once Panasonic's overseas equivalents are added into the mix.
And as...
Our regular Firmware Friday roundup this week is a little unusual in that most of the updates for which we have news aren't actually available just yet, although a few are already here and more will arrive in the coming days. In all, we have news of firmware updates for two cameras and one lens in the past seven...
When Panasonic brought video capabilities to their GH-series Micro Four Thirds lineup so many years ago, they likely didn't realize just how big a splash they were making into a new world. By the time the GH3 rolled around years later, the line was growing into a majorly seasoned production tool for video enthusiasts and...
After a shorter-than-typical roundup last week, our Firmware Friday post this week returns with renewed vigor and news of no less than 16 cameras receiving updated firmware in the past seven days. Admittedly, most of these are from one company, and several are very closely-related models. Still, we've a lot to...
If you're a Nikon shooter looking to get into video, you are probably saving up to grab the Nikon Z6, a camera with more video-centric features than any other Nikon before it. And after using it extensively, I'm happy to report that it is without a doubt...
Our Firmware Friday roundup for this week brings with it good news for Fuji fans who've been patiently waiting on updates for several models since the version 4.0 release for the Fuji X-T2 had to be withdrawn some weeks back. It also offers up news of several major firmware releases from Panasonic, and of new...
Panasonic has announced new firmware updates for the GH5, GH5S and the G9 that will be available on May 30, 2018. This announcement comes a bit ahead of the actual release, which is unusual but probably not unwelcome. This update, though not available for download until May 30, is slated to improve AF performance across...
Big news, low-light and video fans: The movie-centric Panasonic GH5S just landed, it looks like it could be a contender for the low-light throne and we've already posted our first real-world field test!
The GH5S looks a whole heck of a lot like the GH5 which precedes it, but look closer and you'll see major...
Our Firmware Friday roundup this week is a tale of three companies: Canon, Panasonic and Sony. (So if their products aren't among your stable and you don't enjoy a vicarious peek at what's going on with other brands, you can move on to another article now. We'd recommend our just-published Canon G1X III First Shots...
The recently announced Panasonic 200mm f/2.8 is all about ample light-gathering power in a sports and wildlife lens tool, while maintaining the more manageable sizes promised by the Micro Four Thirds system. Although differing slightly in overall...
Our Firmware Friday post this week is going to be extremely short and sweet, because there's only one new firmware release we're aware of since our previous update. Unless you're a Panasonic GH5 owner or simply curious, you can hop over to another news item now. (I recommend our just-published Canon EOS M100 first...
As summer reaches its end and we head into fall, the first weekend of September is here, and with it, our regularly-scheduled Firmware Friday post. This week's roundup is a bit of an unusual one, though, as we've already told you of the week's biggest news, and the bulk of what we have to discuss is actually...
Panasonic has announced a firmware update to the popular GH5 that mixes previously-planned enhancements with additional modifications that were suggested by end users to both the photo and video aspects of the camera. Of the new added features, the ones that stick out are improvements to the autofocus system, tethered...
Sporting a new 20MP sensor, a faster processor, a deeper buffer, dual UHS-II SD slots, 4K video up to 60p, 10-bit internal video recording, 6K Photo mode and much more, the Panasonic GH5 checks off a ton of boxes when it comes to upgrades and improvements from the wildly...
Firmware Friday is here once again, and this week brings news of updates for eight cameras from four manufacturers. This time around, it's Sigma delivering by far the majority of the new firmware, with Canon, Nikon and Panasonic each offering up one update apiece.
Without any further ado, let's get right down to what's...
With the NAB Show slated to kick off tomorrow in Las Vegas, Nevada, this week's Firmware Friday roundup has epic proportions. In total, we have news of almost 20 updates for cameras, lenses and imaging gear from nine different manufacturers, and a fair bit of it adds new features, rather than being limited just to bug...
We are just about finished with all our testing of the GH5, and with my Field Test Part III, I look at some of the additional photo modes available on the new flagship Panasonic camera. In this final field test, I examine the dynamic range performance, 6K/4K...
The GH5, as the GH4 and GH3 before it, is and always was expected to be a video camera. It's a capable photo camera, but the real reason most will seek and eventually purchase the Panasonic flagship is for its lauded video capability. To see how the GH5 handles...
