I bought the GH5 when it was released and I think I'm going to send it back.

The display on the camera screen is so blurry I can hardly make out the details of a shot. I use the Lumix 12-35 lens and with the GH5 the focus highlights are so faint I can barely tell when the camera is in focus, so not only can't I see when the image is crisp enough to be in focus, I can't see when the electronic highlighting tells me it's in focus. Output through the HDMI and the picture is clear. Yes, the lack of a crop makes it more difficult to see the picture detail than my GH4, but that body absolutely had a clearer picture.

On a separate note, the MOV files I recorded (4k, 30fps, 10-bit) will not play back on my computers; they play fine from the camera, but offload the file onto my Windows desktop and laptop and they won't play with VLC, Windows Movie or PowerDVD and they also won't play on a Mac with Quicktime player.

Can anyone else comment on what they've heard about these two issues? What does the image look like on the view screen of your GH5?

Have you adjusted the diopter (if you mean EVF)?
