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.
Recently we have seen Sony discontinued the Sony A6300 and Sony A6500 camera. Possibly they are making up space for a new one [check out the latest rumors here]. We will soon post more updates about Sony’s upcoming cameras of 2021 as we get any new information.
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.
Panasonic GH5 Mark II Major specification leaked, the camera will feature the same 20MP M4/3 sensor as GH5. Take a look at the Major Specs below
Panasonic GH5 Mark II Major Specification
Panasonic “LUMIX DC-GH5M2” has 20.33 million effective pixels,

US price It will cost $ 1697 ($ 2297 for the 12-60mm kit)
So, finally, we came to know the successor Panasonic GH5 is GH5 Mark II and not GH6. We will post more update as soon as we get more images and specifications.
The Pentax K-3 Mark III sensor is the same 26MP sensor as the X-T3 and X-T4, which are currently said to be the best in the APS-C market, and the details are very satisfying. The dynamic range has also improved and is wonderful. For high sensitivity, K-3 Mark III is very quiet and clear in comparison with RAW with Fuji X-T3,
The AF is completely new, and the tracking of moving objects has improved significantly compared to the previous Pentax machines, and the hit rate was excellent, but the Nikon D500 consistently had a higher hit rate. However, if you are a Pentax user who mainly shoots moving objects and wants to improve AF, the K-3 Mark III is the best camera.
Overall, I was satisfied with the AF speed and AF performance, but the buffer was insufficient and it quickly became clogged after the continuous shooting. The D500 can shoot continuously longer than the K-3 Mark III.
The battery is the same old as before, with a battery life of 800 and so on, but not as good as the D500.
The body is not lightweight, but it is not heavy and has a good balance.
The grip is very easy to hold and the thumb grip on the back is great, but to be honest the grip is a bit big in my hand. But I think it’s comfortable for most people. Overall, it feels really good when you hold it in your hand.
When it comes to button and dial placement, Pentax does a very good job.
The monitor is nicely sharp and nice, but unfortunately, it has the drawback of being fixed, which is inconvenient for low-angle live view shooting.
The viewfinder with a magnification of 1.05 is really wonderful with a beautiful view.
The previous Pentax menu had a lot of room for improvement, but the K-3 Mark III has a new menu system that makes it intuitive, very easy to use and a favorite. Overall, the menu has been greatly improved over previous Pentax machines.
If you’re looking for a video camera, there are better options, such as the X-T4 and Panasonic S5, for the same price range. 4K video is fairly clear, but the drawback is that the crop magnification is as large as 1.4 times, and the sensor size during recording is smaller than m4 / 3, which affects dark performance.
Camera shake correction is not top class, but it can remove small shakes and does a great job.
Nikon D500 vs Pentax K-3 Mark III
Which of the D500 and K-3 Mark III is the best APS-C SLR camera will depend on the user’s application. If AF is important, the D500 not only has a higher hit rate for moving objects but is also good for stationary portraits. The AF of the K-3 Mark III had a hard time focusing on the eyes. On the other hand, if image quality is important, I think the K-3 Mark III is better. The K-3 Mark III is a camera worth upgrading, but the downside is its high price.
The K-3 Mark III has been improved in all aspects such as AF, image quality, and operability, and it seems that it has greatly evolved from the K-3 Mark II. AF seems to be a little inferior to the D500, but it seems that the evolution from the past is big, so it seems worth upgrading for those who shoot moving objects.
Regarding image quality, RAW noise reduction seems to have pros and cons, but as a result, very good image quality is obtained, so this may be evaluated more.
