In general we get lot of questions from our users that which Panasonic camera is best to buy. Now we have a perfect answer for you, thanks for professional photographer / Vlogger Richard for comparing out all the latest Panasonic Mirrorless cameras that includes Panasonic GH5 with firmware version 2.0, Panasonic GH5S, Panasonic G9 and yes the most cheapest Panasonic G85.
Which Panasonic camera is best for still and video shooting ?
I have seen many times that people complain a lot about Panasonic GH5 autofocus performance. Despite of being a professional camera or flagship camera, the auto focusing speed of Panasonic GH5 is really questionable. If you look at the video above OR if you don’t have the time you can jump below to see the series of images we have added in the blog post, which clearly says that the most affordable camera from Panasonic is the fastest one.
Before we begin let me tell you that Richard then the test several times but we have randomly picked one test in the images below so if you want to look at all the test you have to go through the video
In the first frame when Richard appears suddenly in the image the Panasonic G85 camera takes no time to lock AF on him.
The Panasonic G85 loked AF on 2:24 and on 2:26 the Panasonic G9 locked AF on the subject.
And finally at 2:27 Panasonic GH5S was able to lock the subject. Get Panasonic GH5 camera from Amazon
We don’t picked the Panasonic GH5 image here because GH5 was the last camera to focus on the subject
You will be surprised to know that the most cheapest camera available in the Panasonic is able to do the fastest autofocus in compared to the other cameras of Panasonic.
Panasonic G85 cost less than $700, But its autofocusing performance is better than Panasonic GH5S, Panasonic GH5 and Panasonic G9.
Special thanks to Richard for testing out all these 4 camera and clearing all our doubts related to the Panasonic mirrorless autofocusing performance related its mirrorless series.
Panasonic G85 camera features 16 megapixel for 43rd format sensor able to record 4K videos. Not only that the Panasonic G85 also features 5 Axis image stabilization inside it.
So if you are still Shooter on a video blogger or a cinematographer Panasonic G85 camera will going to help you a lot while you are creating videos. don’t have to worry about the focusing performance of the camera especially when you’re using Panasonic G85.
Medium format camera maker hasselblad announced Megapixel Monster today. The recently announced hasselblad H6D 400c camera is capable to create 400 megapixel files with the help of multi-shot system inside it.
The new hasselblad camera uses sensors if technology and capture 6 different exposure by moving the medium format sensors now after merging all the 6 exposures altogether you get a 400 megapixel file.
The process the file will take a 2.3 GB space for shot. The Census of Technology is just similar to the technology used inside the Olympus, Panasonic and Sony camera to generate high resolution files. but they use 5 Axis image stabilization system to create the high resolution images.
What hasselblad camera uses completely different Technology, It uses a dedicated piezo unit that Moves the sensor for creating multi shots otherwise this camera act as a hasselblad at 6D 100c camera.
The H6D-400c MS will begin shipping March 2018 with a MSRP of € 39,999 / $ 47,995 / £ 36,250 / RMB 319,999 / JPY 5,391,380 excl. VAT.

We haven’t seen any major announcement from Nikon this year at CES show. well at CES Nikon was silent but we don’t expect Nikon we’re going to remain silent during the CP Plus event at march.
Take a look at the list of product we are expecting from Nikon this March or during the CP Plus event
Nikon at CP+ Event March 2018
Nikon mirrorless camera system announcement
Nikon will going to announce its APS-C sensor based DX format mirrorless camera during the CP Plus event or near about that. Thom Hogan (Nikon pro photographer) predict few month ago that Nikon will going to start its mirrorless announcement with APS-C mirrorless camera in the beginning of 2018 or may be CP+ event and after that during the September (Photokina 2018) we will going to see full-frame mirrorless system announcement with lenses.
Nikon entry level DSLR Nikon D650
Nikon D650 announcement is overdue. The upcoming Nikon entry level DSLR will going to feature 4K and advance core specification. We, are confirmed Nikon will introduce 4K 24/30p in Nikon entry level fullframe DSLR camera D650.
We are almost confirmed that Nikon APS-C sensor based mirrorless camera as well as Nikon full frame entry level DSLR during the CP Plus event on march 2018.
Now the list you see below is the list of expected camera from Nikon that will going to arrive this year no time frame is fixed then answer and may happen during the month of March maybe in June of 2018.
Upcoming Camera from Nikon
Nikon P1000 – Code Name N1622
Nikon Mega zoom camera update is overdue, Nikon skipped the update of Nikon P900 last year. Nikon P1000 is coming for sure, but its announcement may happen during the CP Plus event or maybe at June 2018. We have already seen 100 + compact zoom lens patent from Nikon so we are expecting next Nikon Mega zoom camera when going to carry 100X plus zoom lens or maybe 125X optical zoom lens as we have seen in the patent.
Nikon D750 successor (Nikon D750 MK II / Nikon D760)
The name of the Nikon D750 successor is isn’t confirm yet. So, the upcoming camera name could be Nikon D750 mark 2 or Nikon D760. Nikon D750 was one of the most popular Camera among mid-range or semi Pro Shooters. And ofcourse one of the most sold full frame Nikon camera of all time. We are not expecting the announcement of Nikon D750 successor this March, but its announcement may happen during the month of June or September of 2018. We do believe that Nikon D 750 successor will going to carry advanced auto focusing system as of Nikon D5, as well as completely new 24 megapixel FX format sensor with the introduction of 4K video.
Nikon D3500 – We are almost confirmed about the announcement of the Nikon entry level DSLR in 2018, but at the same time we also suspect that Nikon is delaying the camera to bring out some serious specification inside it. At the moment we can confirm one thing the camera will have 24 MP DX sensor inside it, the predecessor Nikon D3400 have a traditional contrast detect sensor.
Nikon DL compacts
Re-announcement of Nikon DL compact is also possible this year but no time frame is expected at the moment.
So, these when our expectation with the Nikon. And we are almost confirmed that Nikon Mirrorless systems Announcement will going to happen during the CP Plus show. And also the Nikon entry level full frame DSLR announcement is overdue for a long time, so we are also expecting Nikon D650 announcement during the event.
We have done the image of Panasonic GH5S with Panasonic GH5. Both camera look exactly same. Except the use of bit red color in on the top of the camera.
Exactly the design of Panasonic GH5s and GH5s same on the rear side of the camera. Every single button, mode dials are placed exactly on the same position.
Which camera is best for Vlogging or Cinematography ? Panasonic GH5 or Panasonic GH5S? We will sure discuss in later.
Note to website owners – We are the first to do Panasonic GH5S and GH5s image comparison, if you use images from here don’t forget to cite us as source

Before we begin let me tell you that this is my personal opinion
DSLR technology is more than 50 year old, In general DSLR camera uses phase AF sensor to acquire AF. Entry Level DSLRs have 9 to 11 points AF system. Mid range DSLR like Nikon D5600 features 39 point AF Canon 800D / T7i 45 Point AF system, and if you move above…Nikon D500 features 153 point AF system canon 7D Mark II – 65 point AF system.
But, all these fancy AF points will work when you will use the View finder and once you switch to Live view display / Live view display means shooting while looking LCD display screen as most of us do. Then these fancy AF sensor with 100 of AF points gets switched off.
And sensor based AF system gets activated and everything changes. Now answer me honestly, does any comparison website tells you that ?
What happens next ?
You can check yourself that the entire Nikon line-up is using contrast based sensors. If you pick Nikon D3400 or Nikon D5, And you can google or something… that Contrast based AF sensors are slow compared to Hybrid AF sensors.
Now, Does Canon using Hybrid AF sensors ?
Yes , Canon DSLRS using Hybrid AF sensors. Actually , Canon is using Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology which is even better than the Hybrid AF sensors.
Why I personally feel that DPAF sensors are better than the Hybrid ones
The two biggest reasons behind that
Every two pixel inside the sensor involved in Auto focusing…
You can imagine that’s a very big number if you want to calculate the number of AF points inside a Canon camera
No Dead AF pixel inside the sensor, Why I am talking about DEAD ?
See, Phase AF pixels are dedicated for AF purpose only… So if a camera maker says that this camera have 400+ on Sensor AF points then you can safely assume that there are 400+ Dead AF pixels inside that sensor
No, these Dead AF pixels doesn’t affect the image quality since you are using a digital camera and the images are created finally created by algorithms either RAW or JPEG.
Now, if you talk about the Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor , you will not find number of AF points inside.. Why ? Since, every two sub pixel is involved in Auto focusing.
Now, but now you understand the basic difference between Contrast based AF sensor.. Hybrid AF sensor and DPAF Sensors.
Which DSLR you should buy in 2018 ? As a beginner Photographer ?
My answer you should get a Canon DSLR with DPAF sensor, Canon 200D / SL2 is best for beginners, Canon 77D , Canon 80D.. 7D Mk II and FF DSLR like 6D Mk II, 5D Mk IV and 1DX II carries DPAF Sensors.
Canon attending this year CES event and you can check at Central Hall 16206 from Jan 9-12, 2018 at Las Vegas NV. Last Year the center of attraction was 2 MP Canon Low light monster and Canon 250MP APS-H sensor. In general Canon announces / updates power shot series in January. So, we are also expecting new product announcement this year. You can check latest rumors here and also see list of upcoming Canon camera in 2018.
