More on the rumored Panasonic GH5s camera for low light performance

By PR admin | Published: November 26, 2017

Some additional information on the rumored Panasonic GH5s camera I reported yesterday (thanks to everyone who sent me tips):

As I already mentioned, the new camera will be designed for low light performance similar to the Sony A7SII
The camera will have fewer megapixels and bigger pixels pitch compared to the 20.3MP Panasonic GH5 and it may use a 12MP or a 16MP sensor as 43addict suggested
The new camera is expected to start shipping at the end of February
The body design is expected to be similar to the GH5
Still not 100% sure if the actual name will be GH5s

In the past few years Panasonic has made several announcements regarding improving the low light performance of their sensors:

Panasonic GH5s camera rumored to be announced in the next 1-2 months

By PR admin | Published: November 25, 2017

Panasonic is rumored to announce a new MFT camera that could be called Panasonic GH5s (not 100% sure about the actual model name). The possible launch date is either in January or February 2018. The Panasonic GH5s is rumored to be an “ultra” video oriented low-light version of the GH5. The only details I was told are: state of the art video functions, improved low light performance and a higher launch price compared to the GH5. The current Panasonic GH5 was announced in January 2017 and is currently selling for $1,997.99.

Update – interestingly enough, Adorama currently has a listing for a Panasonic Lumix DC-GH29 mirrorless camera:

By PR admin | Published: November 22, 2017

Jim Kasson published a new report confirming that the new Sony a7RIII mirrorless camera ($3,198) still “eats stars”. Dpreview now has a comparison tool that clearly shows the issue. I was told by a reader that the Sony star eater issue is not something that can be resolved because of those reasons:
