Yesterday, Panasonic came through with the full specs and boy oh boy, it was worth the wait.
The GH5 features a 20-megapixel sensor (a first for the GH line) without a low-pass filter, meaning images should look much sharper than on previous versions. Panasonic has also introduced their new Venus Engine 10 processor, which they say will eliminate the “rolling shutter effect” that is the bane of filmmakers who shoot on CMOS cameras everywhere.
It now also supports the Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) standard for recording HDR video and even does so in-camera.
Other recording formats* include:
*Not all formats will be available at launch but will be available through future firmware upgrades

The GH5’s video capabilities aren’t the only features that Panasonic upgraded and photographers haven’t been forgotten.
Autofocus speed is a blistering fast 0.05 seconds and will adjust for every shot even when shooting in burst mode at 9 frames per second and it’s 5-Axis gyro-controlled stabilization system will ensure that your shots remain rock steady at all times.
Focus points have been massively increased to 225 (up from 49), and the GH5 now offers Panasonic’s “Post Focus” mode and focus-stacking burst mode for still image captures.
To round things out, Panasonic has also improved the overall ruggedness of the camera. The weather-sealed magnesium alloy body can take a beating and is freeze proof down to about -10 Celcius.
And while you probably won’t want to get it soaked, you can take it out for a little rough and tumble as it’s also splash and dust resistant.
