Exciting Pana announcements, especially for video people.

Yes, for video gh5 seems the best. But h.264 and low bitrates (at least for now) are still making it less attractive than it could be.

And for stills...nx1 is better, imo.

• 4K 50/60fps internal recording in 4:2:0 8-bit at 150Mbps in IPB using H.265 recording.

In newsshooter review. 4K at 60fps at 150Mbps, with (seemingly) a better coded (and more frames) than NX.

• DCI 4K at 23.98P in 10-bit 4:2:2 internally at 400Mbps using ALL-Intra recording. It can also shoot DCI 4K 48.00P at 150Mbps in 8-bit 4:2:0.
• UHD 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording at 24, 25 and 30 fps. This is again up to 400Mbps using ALL-Intra recording. It can be recorded internally at the same time as being output via HDMI in 10-bit.
• 4K 50/60fps internal recording in 4:2:0 8-bit at 150Mbps in IPB using H.265 recording.
• 4K 50/60fps external recording in 4:2:2 10-bit (with no internal recording).
• Full HD recording on the GH5 is up to 180fps internally, up from 96fps on the GH4. Bitrates for this were not given. At regular 59.94p / 29.97p / 23.98p framerates you can record internally in 4:2:2 10bit at 200 Mbps.
• 6K Photo mode – basically 6K video in 4:3 aspect, but without audio recording.
• 4K Anamorphic 4:3 shooting using 3328×2496 pixels. This offers the same 10-bit 4:2:2 400 Mbps ALL-Intra recording at 24P, 25P and 30P and 8-bit 4:2:0 150 Mbps IPB recording at 50P and 59.94P.
• 6K anamorphic 4:3 mode, the mode that I am personally most excited about because finally there will be a lower cost camera capable of being used for anamorphic shooting in higher resolutions. The recording format, bit depth and bitrate were still to be finalised when I spoke to Panasonic.
