Panasonic GX9 Coming on 2018 [Rumor]

Panasonic GX9 camera image

Panasonic GX9 is expected to arrive sometime in 2018. According to the information we have received via anonymous sources that stock supply pipelines of Panasonic GX8 camera is being dried up. So, if this rumor is true then we will sure see 2 things in next few months

  1. In next few months we may see big discount on Panasonic GX8 / GX8 camera Bundle.
  2. Once the stock is cleared, we can expect the announcement of Panasonic GX9 at Q3 OR Q4 of 2018.

Panasonic GX8 is still a current model and despite of having High-End specification the Panasonic G9 isn’t a direct replacement of Panasonic GX8 camera. So, in near future we will sure see the announcement of Panasonic GX9 camera.

Take this rumor as grains of salt, we will update you soon as we get any new information

Panasonic GH5R With High Resolution Sensor ?

I mean why not ? If they are on the same path of Sony A7 series… then why can’t we expect a Panasonic GH5R camera from Panasonic in 2018.

Panasonic Sony
Panasonic GH5 Sony A7
Panasonic GH5S  Sony A7S
Panasonic GH5R Sony A7R

No one thought of a Panasonic GH5S camera few months back from now, till we told you that it’s coming. Again we are the first toss up Panasonic GH5R camera name.

Panasonic GH5R  with a 30MP Sensor ?

Panasonic uses M4/3 sensor and they are 2X smaller then of fullframe sensor. So, practically its not possible for a M4/3 format sensor to go beyond 30 Megapixels while maintaing a decent low-light performance.

I personally think that if Panasonic announces M4/3 sensor based Megapixel monster, it will be around 30-35MP Resolution not more than that.

Stay with us… What do you think about Panasonic GH5R ? Let’s know your thoughts …

1. Sensor Size Comparison

When we look at the specification sheet of the camera, the biggest difference between the two is the sensor size. The Sony A7S II camera features fullframe sensor and the Panasonic GH5S camera features M4/3 sensor. And if you look at the resolution then we have marginal difference.. only of 2MP but the difference is pixel size is large (70.55µm2 vs 22.14µm2).

We have also done the High ISO test between the two camera as well as video comparison is also done and we can clearly see that Sony is leading in the comparison.

At the end we do expect high quality images and Videos from the Sony A7S II camera with less noise compared to the Panasonic GH5S camera.

2. Sony A7S II have better AF System

We do know that Panasonic camera do carry a dedicate hardware to perform DFD AF. But, at the end as we have seen in the AF test of Panasonic cameras, the GH5s AF performance is slow compared to the Panasonic G85 or Panasonic G9 camera which is more affordable compared to Panasonic GH5S.

But, we also know that Sony A7S II carry dedicated Phase AF points inside the sensor so the AF performance of Sony A7S II camera is better compared to the Panasonic GH5S.

3. Advance Image Stabilization inside Sony A7S II

Unfortunately, Panasonic GH5S doesn’t feature built-in IS and at the same time Sony A7S II camera features DUAL I.S.  So, you can carry the Sony A7S II camera with you anywhere without any extra gimble support.

4. DCI vs UHD 4K

As you can see in the image below the Panasonic GH5S camera features DCI 4K video compared to the 4K UHD video inside the Sony A7S II camera. So, if you are talking about the Video resolution then the Panasonic GH5S (4096 x 2060 vs 3840 x 2160) do have a upper hand compared to Sony A7S II camera.

UHD vs DCI 4K video

5. Rear Side Screen and Size Comparison

Despite of having a large sensor the overall body size of the Sony A7S II camera is smaller compared to the Panasonic GH5S camera. On the other side the Panasonic GH5s carry bit bigger high resolution screen compared to the Sony A7S II camera.

Panasonic GH5S vs Sony A7S II

The rear side screen of the Panasonic features touch display interface whereas the Sony A7S II haven’t.

6. Panasonic GH5S Fast Continuous shooting speed

The Continuous shooting speed of the Panasonic GH5s is more compared to the Sony A7S II camera. The Panasonic GH5S II camera shoots 14BIT RAW files at 11FPS and 12Bit RAW files at 12FPS without AF support and With AFC mode you get 7FPS with 14bit and 8FPS  when you have 12bit setting.

7. Card Slots

The Panasonic GH5S features Dual Card Slots including a UHS memoory card slot inside, but the Sony A7S II is limited to single memory card slot.

8. Noise in Image and Video

If you look High ISO test between the two the Sony A7S II camera have clear advantage. In High ISO test Video samples at 12800 one graded from V-Log and one from S-Log you can feel the difference, the Sony A7S II is more with better dynamic range clear compared to Panasonic GH5S.

Verdict

Based on specification comparison I prefer Sony A7S II over Panasonic GH5S.

Panasonic GH5S vs Panasonic GH5 High ISO Test

Panasonic GH5s High ISO test with the Panasonic GH5s camera. We have done specification comparison review of both the camera aw while ago and we have also explained why Panasonic GH5s dropped the IS feature. Now, its time to compare the Panasonic GH5S camera for Panasonic GH5.

Panasonic GH5S vs Panasonic GH5 ISO 12800

In this sample image you can clearly see despite of having low resolution the Panasonic GH5S has 10 Megapixel sensor getting very clean images.
In Panasonic GH5 image you can see significant amount of noise is present but at the same time you are getting also with more details compared to the GH5s.

Panasonic GH5S vs Panasonic GH5 ISO 25600

Panasonic GH5S is able to maintain noise very effectively. The image captured by Panasonic GH5S showing minimal amount of noise at ISO 25600
Take a look at the image captured by the Panasonic GH5 camera at at ISO 25000. Panasonic GH5 showing a very high amount of noise at ISO 2500 and the image is completely useless. Panasonic GH5S camera is prove to be excellent tool still shooters as well as videographers / cinematographers.

But and then we have to say that Panasonic GH5S is missing the built-in image stabilization system so you have to get external image stabilizer support that is a gimble while shooting at low light conditions

We have already compared to Panasonic GH5S camera with Sony A7S II camera
