What exactly is Panasonic GH5K?

I see cameras listed as GH5K?

I knew about the GH5 and GH5S.
What exactly do "K" mean?

(I guess it may be similar to GH5, possibly in the the same way GH4 and GH4R were similar or something, but I'd like to be sure what it is.)

The "K" suffix commonly means cameras that are available in a black finish.   It's the only finish available for the GH5.

Are you? Because somebody else replied that it may mean that it comes with V-Log enabled.

For me, both hypothesis might make sense.

I think it's color, also. The silver (and black) version of the GX850 is labeled GX850KS, while the black version is GX850K. And neither have Vlog, yet both have Ks.

GH5-K means black, no differennt than GH5 (as there is only one colour option, black).

Most sellers don't include the K suffix, some do for cataloging, makes no difference. Even Panasonic don't use it in their site,

Black; the "k" has meant this for years. (nt)

The K is the body color - black.

There is no Vlog enabled version of GH5 offered by Panasonic in the US, unless some dealers are creating it to assist their customers. GH5S is another story.
