So the new Panasonic GH5S is here… but is it the low light king?
We’ve been using the new Panasonic GH5S for over a month. Take a look at our honest and revealing review where we put the camera through its paces.
Big question is… will Steve and Paul’s old GH5 cameras be on ebay soon?

Guys how you are checking the color chart?
Gh5S green is different, just look at the plant…
As a photojournalist in the states I’ve really enjoyed your podcast and videos. It’s nice to watch a proper gear review that uses b-roll instead of jump-cuts. Since you guys have done a couple of Panasonic reviews I’d like to request a tutorial on how you expose and grade VLOG. When shooting on the GH5 I use the exposer guide bars and zebra bars to judge proper exposer. Then in grade with FCPX by adding a LUT dropping the shadows and mid-tones, raising highlights, and adding saturation. It’s a laborious process and I’d love some tips for faster repeatable results.
Thanks,
