Panasonic has shared a teaser confirming it will reveal a new Lumix GH series camera via an online launch event at 10am EDT on Tuesday, May 25, 2021.
Aside from the teaser graphic, Panasonic hasn’t shared much. In fact, the below statement is the only additional info they provide regarding the announcement:
‘We are committed to further enhancing the G Series lineup and performance of conventional Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and lenses to meet the continuous demands of creators who value the strong advantage that only MFT can offer.’
You will be able to watch the live event through the YouTube Live video below:
Panasonic says it will be revealing more information about the camera on its @lumixusa Instagram account leading up to the May 25 announcement.
Why is Panasonic not releasing any updates for the G90 as well? That camera has huge potentials, let down by a lackluster Panasonic support for it. It's like only the G9 and GH5 exist.
I can't believe everyone who are writing off M43. RED came out with a Super 35 that has a global sensor. Canon came out with a Super 35 that has dual scanning that Gerald Undone said is as good in low light as a full frame. The smaller sensor might be able to do tricks a full frame sensor can't do.
All I need GH6 or whatever number is has at least the same sensor as GH5s but with IBIS, then I'm happy. One of my team member use GH5s for wedding videography and it works like a charm, especially in low light. The camera is small, light weight and it's perfect for event videography.
Compared to my phone, I can see details on birds, leaves in trees, blades of grass, hand held 100-300 lens moon shot at 2x = 1200mm . All for less price than a phone.
I certainly want a camera smaller than FF. APS-C isnt small enough, so the m43 format looks like a better option than the one inch sensors. Its so odd that people fall all over themselves for the one inch sensor cams, but m43 is bad for some reason. I like it because its the biggest thing that you can get into a jacket pocket with a decent lens. If i had FF, i simply would not take it. APS-C isnt small, lite, or cheap enough.
Agree with you about size. However my GX85 m43 camera just doesn't take very good pictures, especially indoors in low-light, even if it's in my pocket. I find myself using my massive K1 II with battery grip and external flash much more.
Toss in my RX100 raws are competitive with my Panasonic 16 or 20 mp files. When on month long holidays, that tiny, all-in-one solution rings a lot of bells.
For my shooting there’s arguably little reason to shoot m43 over 1” (what ever 1” means) other than I vastly prefer a body with a good UI/ergos and a clutch of primes.
It’s not hard to see why there's a market for 1” sensor cams.
LOL, lack of comments about a DPR announcement that there will be a Panasonic announcement and no other details whatsoever, and this is not a good sign?
Of course they and other manufacturers are looking at these comments! How do you think they come up with new ideas! For example. They will see my original comment and think, “great idea, let’s put Sony’s fast AF in our new GH series cameras”. That’s how it works. You didn’t know that?
I so much want a GM5 successor. It's still my main camera, despite having much "better" cameras on paper. GM5 is so usable for every day life… It's the paramount of m4/3 for me.
I still have a few GH5 bodies because they are exceptional cameras and pair well with the CX350 and S1 systems I use concurrently. My main complaint is the USB C was wasted. There are no focus issues with this camera, there are no low-light issues with this camera, there is nothing lacking. Yes a sensor four times larger gives options, and I have those cameras too. All that being said I would buy another one if the viewfinder is significantly better and I can use my existing stack of oem batteries; if I have to use a new battery I would not consider buying it, even if the viewfinder is amazing and the USB is upgraded.
GH series has to have smaller sensor, because of higher bitrate and quality. Panasonic AF hopefully improved (not given though), otherwise amazing camera. Wanted to buy one, bought and then sold Panasonic GX85 instead for one Tokyo job (done). Panasonic still does get good images but extremely difficult to figure out Panasonic colors and mix in acceptable ways with other brands' camera footage (I had to mix Nikon and Panasonic footage and never got good results).
I too had many problems with Panasonic color. I never have understood why it's so hard to get Panny colors right. But it's a consistent problem. Surely someone must know what the issue is?
It (the GH series) is a m43 camera series, it has neither a "larger" sensor or a "smaller" sensor, only THE sensor size which the m43 system is built around!!!
I don’t hold out much hope for major advances in M43 as to provide customers with better low light/ higher ISO, better DR and better colour it seems easier to design smaller cameras for larger sensors. Now that ‘ mirrorless’ is established the reduced lens size advantage that the M43 system has over full frame systems is still there but it’s not as great as it was. Both these concepts are evident in the S5 + 20-60mm. Having said that I would love to see a GH6 with a better sensor in terms of DR, high ISO and colour fidelity.
One thing is clear, if you look at content shot on the GH5 the quality is really mixed. From mediocre to outstanding. Of course this is not the camera, but the skill of the videographer and the camera. If you listen to certain influencers you will be convinced m4/3 sensors are not up to the job. Frankly I’m in the camp that looks at real content and not partisan views from hired guns.
I'd say that's partially true, but if you placed cameras from both formats (either APS-C or FF and a m4/3) side by side in a high ISO test--same scene, same lighting--you will probably start to see some of the benefits of a larger sensor. But it is still possible to get some great images out of a m4/3 sensor. The appealing thing about the m4/3 format is its size. Too bad there aren't more competitors in that format....
Biggest achilles heel is light depending on which m4/3 sensor. GH5S does well in low light(not as good as FF obviously). I have a G7 which is trash in many low light situations but is amazing if you have studio lights.
Without meaning any disrespect to any one I think this sensor debate is over egged. It’s true that a larger sensor offers some advantages with light and noise. However this is more true in theory than in practice. It’s almost become a cultural norm to complain about smaller sensors and to see larger formats as the solution, even in the absence of genuine problems. More often than not m4/3 gets the job done, if you can get past all the negative stereotyping and hired gun influencers.
There are loads of users who have not even come close to getting the best out of the gear they have. There some who really know how to make their gear work. Yes some of this is definitely choosing the right tool for the job but it’s also really knowing your gear, the shooting context and how to deliver the results.
@George, I think yes and no. Some of it is blown out of proportion (particularly those that argue that m4/3 is pretty much useless at high ISOs, which isn't technically true), but some of the differences can be visible in practice (but we're talking high ISOs here). Even differences between APS-C and FF can be seen in some instances (even within the same brand of camera).
As someone who owned the GH4, GH5S and now the S1 and S1H, the difference between the two formats is significant. Did I create some good content with the GH4/GH5S?
Absolutely.
Can I tell the difference between the two even at base ISO? Yes. There is a place for m43: Those that need a smaller, lighter kit with acceptable image quality in photo and video. Those wanting the S series cams desire premium image quality in photo and video, and is fine with the compromise in cost and weight.
Full respect to your shooting experience and successive GH cameras . I sometimes wonder if we view things differently as creators and as content viewers? For example I have done blind viewing guess the camera for stills and video. A caveat is the content was not shot in very low light etc. I can’t tell the difference on a 4K TV, bar a lucky guess. I remember when I bought my 5D mkIV. The first thing I did following taking some images was zoom in at 100% to reassure myself how much better spending £3200 looked next to my 7D mkii. The truth is it was better than the 7D but when you looked at the actual content or at the video , good content stands and those differences reduce or even disappear.
Read again, I did say a larger sensor is better twice. My point is more that the difference shows in more difficult lighting etc , and of course that viewers rarely if ever notice a difference if the content is good.
See, this is the thing. You are mixing the subjective with the objective. The subjective being the viewer, and the objective being is it as good as full frame. Take the content out of the comparison, and does the image stand against an identical image. Looking at your methodology, you can have excellent video, but it can be ruined by horrible audio. Does this make the video any less good than if the film was silent?
No. But everyone hates crappy audio, but that's besides the point. Stick to the video aspects, and not some holistic approach, and m43 falls short. Big Time.
I never said it was good as full frame, only that and in short most content viewers would not know the difference between a well executed video shot on M4/3 or a FF.
Or shot on a smartphone if we follow that logic. All modern camera systems are capable of amazing video and stills quality in the right conditions and many old ones are too.
Well said George 1958!!! I too have MFT, APSC and FULL frame cameras in my collection. In my experience it is meaningless to judge a sensor size on it's own. What lenses you put on and how you use the system is key. For example, When I bought my G80 and 12-35 f2.3 I was astounded how much sharper and in focus my photos were than my Sony A7R with Zeiss 24-70 F4. Yes dunamic range was worse, but that's why we have different tools for different jobs.
I do want to emphasis that I’m in no way suggesting there are no differences between various sensor formats , clearly there is. It’s more that people who view quality content don’t see those differences. For me at least if you can’t see something, it does not matter. However if you ignore the content for a moment, pixel peep then then there will be evident differences that become more pronounced the harder you push the camera with poor or difficult light. Little or nothing is said about how to work with or around technical limitations or how to get the most out of the gear you have. The question always focusses on the gear, not the end user.
I can't help but notice that when comparing the studio scenes between a recent M43 camera and a recent FF camera and setting the iso of the FF two stops higher than the M43 (i.e. compensating for the crop factor) the differences are marginal. This means that the difference is not so much a result of the sensor but of the lens. Some people use FF lenses with speedboosters on their M43 cameras and get results that are remarkably similar to FF images. It is just that if you don't want to use adapters, FF offers more faster (bigger, heavier, expensive) glass while M43 offers slower (smaller lighter, cheaper) glass. But even that could change if manufacturers (and the market) wanted to. Even the differences in dynamic range between say a G9 and an S5 isn't that much. If you expose well, both will give natural looking results.
@the reason, depends. don't talk about depth of field/bokeh. assuming in perfect studio lighting condition, it is hard to tell the difference. m43 all the way to MF, MF has more colours blended (compared to FF).
if you care to read the thread again you will see that no one is disputing that larger format sensors perform better in the circumstances you list, especially in very low light. That being said, if you display a number of prints or images taken in more general shooting situations (not extreme low light etc) few people can reliably see the difference between different cameras and formats. If you are a person that enjoys visual imagery you are drawn to the content , not the file attributes. A good image has more to say than the pixel quality it is comprised of. If the point of interest is just pixels, then its a very dull image.
If I need a certain DOF, and I mostly do when I shoot video, I have to stop down a full frame camera two more stops than the MFT camera to get (more or less) that same DOF. Obviously. The ISO has to be increased two stops as well to even things out, killing most of the advantage that full frame has in theory.
There are situations when full frame is superior, but for my work, all the good sides of MFT in general, and the GH cameras in particular, have been winning so far.
Still lying to yourselves. If I use an 85mm 1.2 on m43 despite the not so shallow depth of field you wont be able to tell. Unless you do a side by side (which is useless in the real world) you wont be able to tell. Someone did this for months on a m43s forum, posted a mix of ff and m43s photos and nobody could say which was which. He even went so far as post a couple of iso 6400 photos and not even then, no one guessed all of them. I'm not gonna sell my sonys any time soon, but its MOSTLY all in our heads
If you create equivalence with faster lenses they end up being expensive and large which negates most of the advantages of having an M43 system in the first place. As a video shooter you also need very dense ND filtering which again is expensive esp if you want minimal image quality loss. I actually liked the greater DOF with M43 vs full frame for some work and this is often overlooked as it’s not seen as an advantage or ‘cinematic’…….. Anyway the GH5II looks like a very modest warming up of the previous model and the specs for the GH6 look like the format has ‘hit the buffers’ with the mp count. Meanwhile for full frame there are a lot of small and cheap primes coming out from which you can create a light and compact system that won’t break the bank. The only drawback is all the competing mounts tie you in to a brand unlike the more universal M43 system.
I don’t think that size is so much the issue. When Olympus pushed the size advantage in media campaigns a few years hence DSLRs were the dominant camera. It’s true you can still buy a very svelt setup from either Olympus or Panasonic and as long as you don’t get hung up on equivalence the M4/3 is still the smaller, lighter and least expensive system. As soon as you start talking the premium line up then there is little in it weight wise. For those who are vested in M4/3 the weight may or may not be a concern , it’s the same with light gathering , noise or DoF. Those who don’t believe in their gear will likely switch, those who believe in their gear and themselves will continue with the system. I have travelled from the EP1 to FF canon and Sony and back again. I don’t deny that the FF was good. I’m back to 100% m4/3 and enjoy my photography more. For me at least , a camera system is much more than the sum of its sensor .
GH2: “ a brand new 18Mp multi-aspect ratio sensor ” (DPR staff) GH3: “ With more rugged magnesium alloy construction and a new 16MP sensor” (DPR staff) GH4: “ The newly developed 16.05-megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor for the GH4” (Panasonic)
I knew someone would try to take me to task for saying ‘a first’, since pedants rule on the internet, but the point is that DeathArrow’s comment gives the impression that old sensors are the norm across the GH cameras. Since when???
The fact that they all had 16 MP sensors doesn't necessarily mean that they had the same 16 MP sensor. The GH4 can shoot Cinema 4K (4096 x 2160), 4:2:2 10-bit (200 mbps). The GH3 maxes out at Full HD (1920 x 1080) 4:2:0 8bit (72 mbps). The GH3 sensor was also a big improvement over the one in the GH2.
In 2017 having C4K/30 10bit 4:2:2 and UHD/60 8bit 4:2:0 with IBIS, no record limit and fully articulating screen was great and fairly unique. Since then though you have a lot of cameras that do 4K/60 and even some 4K/120, including in 10bit 4:2:2 and generally with less crop factor and the tax that caused the 30 minute record limit is gone. Basically, everyone else got better.
It's still doing okay by being cheaper and smaller, but it's now clearly in the "pay less, get less" category. It still has Panasonic's DFD system, while other AF systems are now clearly better for video though I don't expect that to change. There's just so many other cameras I'd pick for vlogging and light video work, that could also be small and light with the right lens.
I don't think anyone probably needs a NEW GH camera ,but Panasonic probably still wants to remain relevant in the m4/3 market, and needs to push something new out as even the best cameras can get stale after 3-5 years and need a "refresh" in the line-up. And it probably re-iterates to the m4/3 folks that Panasonic is still committed to the format, and not abandoning it and sticking with just FF, which is where it seems some of the other brands are putting more of their resources lately.
4k 120p with autofocus and minimal crop would be fantastic, as would in-camera 10 bit 4:2:2 v-log with colour science to match the Varicam line, like the S1H and S5. Autofocus capabilities like Sony and Canon for tracking moving subjects, either mounted on a gimbal or handheld. Dynamic range in stills to at least 14 stops. The lack of these features is moving me to switch to Sony, who have all of these things. If Panasonic gives these things to the GH line, I will stay.
Has any camera company released an incremented series of model names (e.g. …, GH4, GH5), paused to release a Mark II (e.g. GH5 Mark II), and then continued with the original increment (e.g. GH6)?
Between this peculiar possibility and the bizarre rumours of multiple ‘GH6’ models – into a shrinking market while Panasonic diverts meagre resources to its full-frame gamble – I can’t make head nor tails of what is going on.
Would it kill Panasonic to give us an idea of their honest intentions? I wish I believed they would do that on the 25th.
Panasonic saw the backlash against the GH5-II and are now announcing a development of a new GH6 alongside a GH5-II. They're doing damage control at this point.
The GH6 is only an announcement of an intention of development.
Remember Olympus had no intention of selling its camera division until the last day. Corporations can "announce" any intention they want. Believe it when you see it.
Panasonic is known to have done weird stuff with model names before. The GX7 was followed by the GX80/85 (which was named GX7 II in Japan). They also introduced a GX8, which was a new model sitting above the GX7 level in the lineup. Then, in the next generation the two lines were merged into the GX9 (named GX7 III in Japan). By the way, there was also an entry-level GX800/850 (named GF9 in Japan!).
With the above in mind, I can see Panasonic doing a GH5 II as a mild update, and then creating a new line above it, the GH6.
"Panasonic saw the backlash against the GH5-II and are now announcing a development of a new GH6 alongside a GH5-II. They're doing damage control at this point."
It will depend how much info they release.If it's just garbage "new GH6 coming some time" with no specific specs then I would agree.
I think that's a rather naive and simplistic view of corporate decision-making and product development. If Panasonic had no intention of spending R&D money on a truly new flagship hybrid camera, they wouldn't suddenly change their minds because people had a lukewarm reaction to rumoured camera specs. And even if they did, that camera wouldn't hit the market until 2023 at the earliest. The development time for a high end camera is at least 2-3 years.
"Would it kill Panasonic to give us an idea of their honest intentions? I wish I believed they would do that on the 25th."
Samuel, they aren't worried about their phoney-baloney jobs. They're worried about YOU! Forget Covid! It's TRUTH that is the real killer, and no mask can prevent that.
You apparently have confirmed updated information unless this is another one of the many already completely meaningless guesses that people have thrown out there .
The other manufacturers have full Frame and Half Frame (APS) , I don't see why Panasonic should not have FF and a Quarter Frame. The two don't exactly compete with each other.
Well "Selling" and "offering for sale" are two different things. In my eyes, a "Sale" will require a significant upgrade, in 'something'. That is NOT defined by the warmed over, GH5 II.
I'd really love to see that Panasonic comes with updated card slots for the new gen of m43 cameras; ditch the (fragile) SD, and embrace some sturdier and faster alternative. The QXD, CFexpress, whatever, just skip over the SD once and for all. I vouch the same for the next gen of Olympus pro cameras. And this also: – let all camera models use the SAME battery type. – let them all be chargeable via the USB-C.
I've had SD cards go through the wash and still be fine. I have a couple that are 15 years old and still work (OK, I only use them now to grab the pics for a backup, but still)..
The only SD socket I've ever managed to break was in a laptop, the kind where the card always sticks halfway out. Not drunk proof.. but anyway..
I'm kinda rough on my gear sometimes, and I'm not finding SD cards to be fragile.
Well the GH is already a series. New cameras as a plural is a given unless the series is axed. There is also already dual models in the GH5 series with the GH5 and GH5S.
Owner of GH1 here, sitting up, curiosity piqued! I’ve had it for nearly 11 years as amateur enthusiast and just finished learning all the functions in recent years, but I was dreaming of graduating to A7iv or A7Cii for the next decade. Let’s see what this brings...
So, previously reported on 43rumors is teaser of teaser of teaser of GH6
Development announcement of GH6 => teaser of GH6 This news => teaser of teaser of GH6 Press received today's date and reported by 43rumor => teaser of teaser of teaser
The 43Rumors site cribs from other sources, particularly Nokishita. Its own reporting is very unreliable - the correct stuff is almost always first reported by others and credit should go to them accordingly.
I really enjoy people stating the obvious. To be fair, most of what you read on DPR, you already know if it's a product you're interested in. But at least it's free, unlike those "buying guides" they used to publish.
@Mariano Pacifico / Mr Bolton: In terms of image quality? Nada. Some blogs even showed that the older sensor *slightly* outperforms the 26mpxl one. The X-T4 has better battery life, faster AF, faster continuous shooting, and 2 additional film simulator. Oh, a dedicated Exposure Compensation dial too.
The X-H1 has, on the other hand, a much better grip, a dedicated metering-mode dial (I can't believe that Fuji removed it!), the LCD on the top panel, and the non-rotating screen (which I prefer as a stills-only user). Based on Fuji, the X-H1 is still their 'flagship' best-built X-system camera.
I wouldn't call one or the other significantly better... In fact, I am so happy with my X-H1 that unless the X-H2 offers a significant resolution boost (for landscapes), I won't upgrade.
No one has to sell me on the X-H1, I have two of them. The AF gets a little bit cranky sometimes, but otherwise pretty close to the perfect camera for a wide variety of my shooting scenarios.
The biggest need I have in an X-H2: When the square face detect box is around the vocalist's face and I push the button, I'd really like for her face, versus the mic stand three feet in front and stage left of her, to be in focus. I need that to happen every time, not just much of the time.
When that is the case, Fuji can take my money for two of them!
I'm not sure how they could make it more customizable, you can already change it pretty extensively. Truth be known, user error on my part is probably no small part of my occasional AF issues. That said, it would be nice to have presets like "Concert at night" which is a pretty common use case. Or at least it will be again in a couple more months.. Covid permitting.
What expectations? :D All they said is that new cameras are coming. Remember when Canon started to promote the R5 as an 8K video powerhouse? Now that's raising the expectations and letting the customer down at the end.
I think they have marketing folks that know if it's a good idea to put out a teaser or not. I'm not disagreeing but many times unintuitive things are still truths. "All publicity is good publicity" is a fairly old marketing axiom. Perhaps discussing what the product DOESN'T have is still more valuable than not discussing the product at all.
People get paid a lot of money to decide these things and, frankly, I think they know a lot more than you.
Maximize free publicity. Lather, rinse, repeat. Maximize free publicity. Get people speculating about stuff they know nothing about. Even if your ad budget is miniscule, maximize free publicity. The ultimate teaser has yet to be created.
‘"Teaser" implies an exciting and inspiring early peek. That statement from Panasonic was soulless corporate speak at its blandest, not the spirit of photography.
You wont generate tevenue from using business speak like “adding value” in consumer-facing communications. They are soulless stiffs who think they can just copy Apples approach by throwing out lame “teasers” along side a corporate press release basically. And that’s just plan wrong. Waste of marketing money paid shareholders, if shareholder value is the objective…
I hope for our sake this 1 week teaser doesn't just lead to the underwhelming GH5 II that we've already heard about. I don't think they'd plan this big announcement for just that.
I hope. They are trying to create some theater by leaking the 19th then pushing a week. I could make a case for either way - exhausted pandemic GH5II release or a killer GH6 release. Both might be possible since the GH5II is almost like an extended firmware update with parts that are laying around :)
It will be kind of baffling if they do make a large build up to a GH5II release. It is a five year old camera/sensor. They can title it "An homage to noise reduction..." So out of sheer avoidance of embarrassment, I want to lean towards a new model GH6 being released. Panasonic has been a serious company for as long as I can remember, so whatever they come up with will probably be good.
I hope so, i really liked my G9 and the GX7 was the first ML i owned and i had a lot of fun with it. I still have an EM1-II and several lenses plus the EF-MFT speed booster from Viltrox, if MFT had something interesting to compliment my Fuji, who knows.
They probably leaked the Gh5M2 specs, knowing it would disappoint people so the reaction to the presentation would become more like "Well, that was better than we expected!". Set low expectations so you can end on a high note.
This is so exciting. For a video camera, I love micro four thirds. I've been using the G9 for virtually all my video work and it is just a joy to use, and it's far more affordable than a full-frame camera with the same feature set. I will be looking very closely at this new GH camera. (Also, just as an aside the G9 is also a great stills camera!)
As much as I love my G9 for video, there are features in other brands which would make an upgrade even better. 4k 120p with autofocus and audio, Sony levels of autofocus speed and tracking, better high ISO performance, full v-log with 10 bit 4:2:2 All-Intra recording. Not essential, but these feature would make an upgrade competitive with other brands. I dont want 8k, I want more dynamic range, better autofocus and 4k slow motion.
The following was from Lumix Instagram which would suggest Panasonic will have more than one GH Model in their lineup. Maybe a GH5ii along with a GH6.
"We are pleased to announce that they will present an expanded lineup of the popular LUMIX GH series at an online launch event. The event will be held at https://www.panasonic.com/global/consumer/lumix/ on Tuesday, May 25, 2021, at 14:00 UTC.
Also, the description on Youtube for this event has plural for cameras. So multiple GH cameras will be announced.
LUMIX Live : New GH Series Cameras are Coming We are pleased to announce that we will present new LUMIX GH series cameras at an online launch event. The event will be held on Tuesday, May 25, 2021, at 10:00am EDT.
The GH5II with minimal update is pretty much given at this point, based on the leaked spec and rumors. And the GH6 is probably just an official product development (like Canon and Nikon do it).
I've noted those GH5mkII rumors as well and if that is all there is to it, then I think we can conclude that Panasonic doesn't give m4/3 more attention than it minimally needs to, to impose that it is still an active mount with them. As a former user of that format I think it is a little sad especially in combination with Olympus recent journey.
