ISO Range
before we begin let me tell you that the sensor inside the Panasonic GH5S is completely new.
The camera features 10 Megapixel sensor with ISO sensitivity starting from 80 to 204800, and the standard ISO range of the camera is 100 to 51200.
Being said that it clearly indicates that the Panasonic GH5S will going to create more cleaner images during low light conditions compared to the Panasonic GH 5 camera. Not any cleaner images Panasonic GH 5S is also optimised for low light video performance and Dual Native ISO also introduced to cut down the extra noise.
Dual Native ISO
and Panasonic introduced dual native ISO inside the Panasonic GH 5S camera which was first introduced with Panasonic S35
The dual native ISO range is used to cut down the extra amount of noise generated while recording video or still at low light conditions.
Multi-aspect sensor
Panasonic introduce multi aspect sensor so you can now shoot 16:9, 17:9, 4:3 and 2:3.wide formats.
AutoFocus System
The autofocusing system of both the camera remains same. both camera features a 225 points based DFD autofocusing system. but the Panasonic GH5S comes with slight improvement in low light detection range. Panasonic GH5S Camera AF detection improved one stop more (+5EV vs -4EV) compared to the Panasonic GH 5 camera.
14 Bit continuous shooting
The camera offers 14bit of RAW shooting but at 11 frames per second without AF support and when you use AFC mode continuous AF the speed slows down to 7fps.
Cinematic 4K
cinematic / DCI 4K also being introduced inside the Panasonic GH5S camera. Panasonic GH5 do offer standard / UHD 4K video recording but one step ahead Panasonic GH5S has become the first consumer level camera to introduced 4K cinematic video which carry a bit more resolution compared to the standard 4K video of the GH5 camera.
240 Frames @ Full HD
After that we have improvement in the frame rate of full HD video recording. with full HD video recording you get to 240 frames per second with the Panasonic GH5S camera.
Pre-installed Vlog
Yes the Panasonic GH 5S comes with pre installed Vlog and for that you have to pay extra money when you get for Panasonic GH5 camera.
Panasonic 4KHDR and HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma)
You get 4K HDR with HLG in Panasonic GH5S with Firmware version 2.0. Panasonic GH5S
Comes with preinstalled.
No Built in Image stabilization Panasonic GH5S doesn’t carry in built-in Image stabilization. So, you have to depend upon the OSS lenses only. BTW, the Panasonic GH5 carry Dual IS when sensor based IS sync with Lens based IS.So you get 5+Stops of IS with the Panasonic GH5 camera.
Final Word
The Panasonic GH5S camera is made for shooting in low-light environment. So, absence of IS will become a big issue for few filmkaers and lifestyle vloggers. But, overall the camera is more video centric compared to Panasonic GH5S.
Take a look at the high ISO test comparison between the recently announced Panasonic GH5S Compared to the Sony 7s II camera. Panasonic GH5S as does arrived with lot of improvements inside camera. But, overall look and design of the camera in same except the addition of some red colours in the front or top of the camera. Images shown below credit belongs to imagine resource.com.
we are going to test Image Noise between the Sony A7 S II and Panasonic GH 5S camera
Sony A7 S2 camera using a 3+ year old Sony A7S sensor . The sensor used inside Sony A7SII camera is based on FSI technology not BSI. FSI means front side illumination and BSI means backside illumination (and of course the BSI is better). Sony A7 RII was the first camera to use the BSI full frame sensor and Sony A9 is the first camera to use stacked CMOS full frame sensor. So, lot of tech improved after the announcement
Panasonic announced a low light dedicated GH5S (series) just similar to the Sony A7S II camera but Panasonic should also know that the Sony A7 S II camera is 3 years old and desperately waiting for an update. And we do also believe that this year Sony will going to announce Sony A7 S II camera with at least BSI or stacked CMOS sensor inside it, that will going to uplift the over specification as well as low light performance of the camera to a next level
Before we begin let me tell you that if you are our subscriber all reader, we have told you 3 months ago prior to the announcement of Panasonic GH 5S camera that it’s coming. so do subscribe our website social networks and download our app for latest update live news and rumors.
Sony A7S II vs Panasonic GH5S
ISO 12800 Panasonic GH 5S is showing with more saturated colours compared to the Sony A7 S II camera but the noise levels minimal and images look somehow usable at this point
ISO 25600 is a point when you will notice the raise of noise level in the sample image of the Panasonic GH5s camera. But Sony A7S II sensor maintains the image quality without showing significant noise.
Look for shadow behind the bottles, the Panasonic GH5S s showing un-acceptable level of noise at ISO 51200.
I have nothing to say. At this point both images are unusable, but GH5s is showing more noise compared to Sony A7S II camera.
And finally the 204800. Why camera company unlocks such a noisy ISO levels ? too get good marks in specification sheet or for specification comparison engines ?
Panasonic GH5s vs Sony A7S II High ISO Test
Panasonic GH5S is showing more noise compared to Sony A7S III camera. And we have already posted the Video comparison of Panasonic GH5S vs the Sony A7S II here.
Yes Panasonic GH5s is one of the most professional consumer video camera ever announced. We are covering up latest hands on, previews and reviews related to the Panasonic GH5s camera.
I always look for Kai reviews. I am following him from DIgirev and now he is on CPTV.
Best intro of Panasonic GH5s
GH5s First Comparison with Sony A7S II
Now take a look at the lowlight test between the Sony A7S II and Panasonic GH6 camera done by the dpreview team. Panasonic arrived to compete against the Sony A7S II camera but at the same time we have to remember that the Sony A7S II is using a 3 year old sensor coming originally from A7S. The 12 MP FSI sensor performance is limited and now Sony do have BSI FF and Stacked CMOS FF Sensors. So,, we do believe that A7S III is on its way with BIG improvements.
Take a look at the recently announced Panasonic GH5s sample video. Panasonic GH5s carry a lot of improvement compared to the Panasonic GH 5 camera but it doesn’t actually replaces the Panasonic GH5s due to its resolution limitation as well as the absence of Hybrid IS.
On the video side Panasonic GH 5S arrived with up-scaled specification. Panasonic GH 5S is the world first consumer level camera to feature 4K video as well as you also get 240 frames per second in Full HD, so you can create super slow motion movies while shooting Sports.
Take a look at the video below and you share your thoughts with us
thenewcamera exclusive – Panasonic announced one of the most best consumer mirrorless video dedicated camera of all time
why we are talking about it is one of the best camera in the beginning since the camera features 4K video recording at 60 frames per second. Not only that GH5S is capable of internal 4:2:2 10-bit recording, And now with Panasonic GH5s you get pre installed V-Log.

No time limit
Panasonic CS5 as you can record 4K movies without any time limit its your storage runs out.
4K HDR video with hybrid log Gamma support
Panasonic GS 5S is capable to record 4K HDR videos with HLG (Hybrid log Gama) mode in photo style.
Improved autofocusing
Despite of the 225 area auto focusing points remains same but Panasonic does improve the auto focusing system of the GH5s camera.
With the improvement in the low light sensitivity, autofocus performance of Panasonic GH5S camera is also improved. This camera can do autofocus in – 5EV environment where as the Panasonic GH5 was limited to -4EV.
Time code in/out also introduce which missing in the GH5 camera.
