Panasonic GH5 Mark II Dynamic Range Test done by photons to photo website, and according to their findings the dynamic range of the camera greatly improved compared to Panasonic GH5. Take a look at the test score below
The dynamic range of Panasonic GH5 Mark II improved due to the upscaled image decoding/video decoding algorithm used inside the camera.
The surprising thing in the test is Despite being an old M4/3 sensor inside the Panasonic gh5 mark ii camera, the dynamic range of the GH5 Mark II surpassed the dynamic range of the Sony A6400 APS-C sensor.
Panasonic Gh5 Mark II Camera videos available now, take a look at the latest set of videos of the Panasonic GH5 Mark II camera. One of the most important that I have noticed after watching these videos if the AF performance of the Panasonic GH5 Mark II is significantly better than that of the Panasonic GH5 (predecessor).
Panasonic GH5 Mark II camera more images leaked today, now we have front back and top side of the camera. The overall design of the camera looks similar to the Panasonic GH5s. The button layout, design, and controls are exactly the same. We have already published detailed specifications, comparison reviews of the Panasonic GH5 Mark II camera.
Panasonic GH5 Mark II / GH5 II camera leaked image surfaced of the web. The official announcement of the camera is about to happen on May 25, 2021. We have detailed specifications of the camera. And you can also see the specification comparisons here.
Panasonic GH5 Mark II vs Panasonic S5 – A general Specification comparison between the two to find out the major difference. As we all know Panasonic GH5 Mark II camera features almost the same major core specification as we have in the GH5.

Panasonic S5 uses a better Sensor
As we can see the sensor size is the main difference between these two cameras. The Panasonic S5 full-frame sensor will deliver exceptional images as well as more details and depth in videos with better low-light performance. Both cameras feature sensor-shift IS (5.5 Stops without OIS Lens / 6.5 Stops with Dual IS), so you will get stability support while you are shooting still images and videos.
As usual with the help of a Fullframe sensor, we will get a boosted ISO range inside the Panasonic S5 Camera.

Panasonic S5 shoots DCI 4k
The S5 also gets a significant update in 4K DCI and ProRes RAW support. So, if you are buying up the latest Panasonic S5 then for sure you will get DCI 4k videos with your camera. Another most important fact we have to admit the Panasonic S5 does a full sensor readout, that’s is 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor with no AA filter; Full-frame oversampled will give you massive details while creating 4k videos with your camera compared to a M4/3 sensor-based GH5 Mark II camera.

Panasonic GH5 Mark II vs Panasonic S5 – Verdict
Panasonic GH5 Mark II isn’t giving us enough reason to recommend you for video purposes. The GH5 Mark II update gives us a strong hint that Panasonic wants its existing consumer base to move into the S series aka the Fuullframe series.
Full specifications of Panasonic GH5 Mark II camera leaked today, the sensor and major video specs remain almost the same and we are not able to spot any major upgrade in Panasonic GH5 Mark II camera for photographers or cinematographers.

As you can see from the initial specification the camera is using the same sensor as Panasonic GH5, although they have upgraded EVF and battery from Panasonic S5.
The battery life of the Panasonic GH5 Mark II camera improved. The Panasonic GH5 Mark II uses the BLK22 battery of the Panasonic S5 camera. So, more or less.
The new Panasonic GH5 camera allows a USB power supply, USB power charging, USB power delivery which was not possible with the old GH5 camera.
More of less the Video and still specs of the camera remain the same which is really disappointing for those who are waiting for an upgrade.
