Hi!

I wonder how GH5 will do in terms of still photos. Would M43 GH5 with its dual IS could equal IQ of D500/NX1/X-T2?

Only when IBIS becomes important. It is 5 stops. It helps. Otherwise: not a chance. But its IQ is therefor not bad or mediocre. It is very good. Just not as good as these sensors.

In terms of video, it seems like Panasonic is pushing the boundaries but wonder why they didn't go for HEVC h.265 codec? 2 years ago video people were raving about this codec being the best thing and future devices will have it but if GH5 doesn't have it,

Leave it up to them. Have they ever failed? No.

logically it means two things:

1. HEVC is not the future?

2. GH5 isn't future proof?

Sure it is.

Thoughts?

I use Em1.2....I am testing HiRes mode now. 80MP and I have used it in  very very windy weather (66 km/h winds!) and shot blustery showers today. It has no problems with that, with  wild water, with reetfields in it that fat move. Here no APS-c cam can come close to its IQ. Colourreproduction is better than  than the 645 Z, noise is better than A7RII. It is still limited of course in use. But is otoh so very usefull. For landscapes I love it!

APansonic shoud consider such a system. They haveIBIS...so it is possible.
