Panasonic GH5 vs GH4 w/Speedbooster & Sigma 18-35mm
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 кві 2017
- When Panasonic revealed the specs of the new Panasonic GH5, every indie filmmaker, including myself, were stoked. But how good is the GH5 in real life? Let's compare it against the GH4 in this quick video quality comparison.
In this video we compare:
- Low Light ISO
- Dynamic Range
- Crop
- Stabilisation
- Rolling shutter
- Slow motion
- Overall video quality
Ps. Looks like the internal Apple Prores recording in the GH5 was just a rumour. The text in this video is therefore wrong. It should be H.264 instead of prores :)
Since the 10bit in the GH5 won't give you better video quality than 8 bit (unless you do you heavy color grading) and as we didn't have much time to test the camera on location nor in post, we didn't include 10bit in this test.
To make the test as fair as possible, both cameras used a speedbooster together with the Sigma 18-35mm lens. We shot with the same settings and the same picture profile Cinelike D with -5 contrast (the rest was set to 0). I added the Filmconvert Pro LUT in post, without film grain.

I think you can finally afford the GH4.
the gh5 is great
but i still love the gh4
because i dont have money for gh5 =))
nice man_)
If I owned a GH5 I would probably make a more in depth video, but I hope you like this quick comparison :) BTW: The first episode of Behind The Camera Hack is coming within a day or two, so stay tuned!

The GH4 holds up admirably, and even looks better in some shots. You have good reason to still love your GH4.
In which shot does it look betteR? I found the GH5 looking x2 better in every single scenario.
Totally agree, some shots the gh5 looked washed out compared to the gh4 in the side by side but looked fine by itself.
R.I.P Eskild Fors, the Indie community lost a great shooter.
What seriously? Hes dead?
@@MsHackthat Sadly, yes. Eskild passed away a few years ago, but so many still remember him.
Wow, how sad , R.I.P Eskild.
Brilliant video again guys. Always look forward to your reviews and tests. Godt gjort!
hey!
Thanks again Chris! :) When are you coming to Norway!?
The amount of work, attention and professional polish you put into these clips and reviews is amazing, and makes it not only extremely enjoyable to watch, but very informative and objective as well. No useless semi-funny blabber either, but a lovely soundtrack. There's only one word for it: excellent!
Really nice video - one of the best UA-cam comparisons I've seen. Thanks. And I still love my GH4 too :-)
easily by far the best quick look at the camera on UA-cam. I can always count on you for exceptional and polished content. Very nice...
Incredible comparison between the two cameras. Congratulations and thank you!
Gr8 review AndyAx. Love the music! Txs for sharing. Always find your posts professional inspiring and educational. Mike.
Thank God,finally back to show.gone crazy for waiting your videos..please releases more and more videos
Hello Anders. I love these older videos with your friends. This video is still relevant in 2023. I am thinking of buying a GH4 this year, and the Sigma 18-35 1.8, as a companion for my GH5 M2. Not all of us follow the usual pattern of always buying the latest and greatest, but I must be unusual in seeking the GH4. However, your superb comparisons confirm that it is a great camera that will put a smile on my face.
It will also be great for use in sketchy places in the third world where risk of theft is high, because it sells at a very low price now, and I wouldn't mind losing it like that.
As always, I appreciate the thoughtful videos you have produced over the years, and I hope you never decide to take down these old ones, because there are always people like me, who need this older content, like comparing GH4 and GH5.
Thanks for the comparison! I upgraded from the GH4 to the GH5, I've been shooting on it for about 2 weeks. One thing I noticed initially was that it seemed like the dynamic range wasn't as good on the GH5 as it was on the GH4. Now I'm starting to get convinced of this after seeing your tests. (The food shot in particular, the rice is totally blown out on the GH5 shot.) I typically shot in the 'Natural' profile on the GH4, not in V-log, because that gives me the best skin tones for my typical shoots. I haven't tried V-log on the GH5 yet, which supposedly adds 2 more stops of dynamic range.. which is pretty much going to force users to shoot in V-log on the GH5, because as it sits right now with other color profiles, the dynamic range isn't as good.
With that being said, the slow motion clarity is improved over the GH4, even at 180fps. (a quick slow motion teaser of a drone I shot: ua-cam.com/video/-50PxhgfJbg/v-deo.html ) Also, I really like the new 'Like709' color profile the GH5 has.
Great comparison, looking forward to seeing future tests and an XLR adapter tried on the GH5 would be nice in a future video as well. -Blessings!
I love the style you do all your videos in, especially the rolling shutter test! lol.
What a beautiful and useful video! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this review! I will totally be getting the GH5 as my next camera! I want to get into cinematography :)
Great comparison, I can see myself adding the GH5 to my arsenal, mainly for the IS stabilization, 4k @60fps and slow mo. Higher dynamic range is iffy, but for those reasons, It makes me want one for sure.
Brilliant video again guys.
Thanks Anders for this comparison! Just a small question: How come the GH4 is that much brighter @ 2:10 compared to the GH5 if the settings are the same? Is that because of less information in the highlights (GH4) and therefore lower dynamic range?
Yo this is such a good comparison video 🙌 i swear its the only one you need to watch
You totally got me with the dog. I subscribed! Nonetheless, I am happy to finally find a European guy making such videos on UA-cam. Kiss the dog for me
all kids are sleeping 0 dislikes
2 woke up :P
Jaroslav Lajta uh uh, 5 kids just woke up!
Now 8 woke up!
You are one of them Victor Bart? I knew it! ^^
Hahaha
Ayyyeeee, The homie Phil!
YCImaging you out here? Just go get your gh5 again bro!!
That's awesome, I always watch your both channels, You are great video maker, I'm 16 years old and I try to create music videos with my GH4, I've got my Sigma 18-35mm with my speedbooster YCImaging, if you want to check this quickly to help a young french video maker, that will be very nice :) Here is the link : ua-cam.com/video/1_ET6cPbDLE/v-deo.html
PS : I didn't use my Sigma in this music video, i used my 12-60mm f:3.5 cuz i was waiting for my speedbooster.
What a FANTASTIC job you did here in this comparison!!!
Man iam waiting for your new videos.. why you taking so much time for your new videos... You guys are osm.. thank you so much
love from india..
Very informative. Thanks for posting!
Great test vid! Hoping to see you get one of these bad boys within the few months! :D
Nice to see you uploading videos again!
Any though on the focus transition feature?
i came here for specs and nearly cried my eyes out when that puppy scene came in.
Thanks for your wonderful videos! Would you still recommend the GH4 to an aspiring new filmmaker on a tight budget? And if so what is a good setup to start out with it? I already have a G7 but would like to step up some (but not all) capabilities. Thank you!!
what speedbooster type on GH5? same with your speedbooster or not?
That was also my question..Did the two camera with speedboster or only the GH4??..
It doesn’t look the same based off thumbnail
That's great!
A beautiful demonstration!
Quick question. Which speed booster are you using. I'm about to buy one for my GH4 and I'm trying to decide between the .64 and the .71. Not sure which one I should go with.
Very helpful video! Thanks for sharing!
If you shoot in log it really improves the lowlight in the GH4. You can get rid of most of the noise in post. It's not the camera that gives you amazing results, it's the person holding it. Always remember that.
such an amazing breathtaking review guys 👌👌
Fantastic comparison and content!
Which Metabones speed booster? I take it, the XL 0.64x? Any issues with this given there has been talk about 'freezing' etc. Or perhaps you may have the new MB firmware for GH5?
Good questions.
My GH5 with sigma 18-35mm and XL 0.64x freezing and i don't know what to do with it :/
Michal Priessnitz there is a work around that I saw in other videos on UA-cam. It is not a true correction, but it is already something. It's something like turning the camera on while pressing the aperture control button on the MetaBones adapter.
There is already update from Metabones and its work!! www.metabones.com
Update: my GH5arrived & have updated the Metabones firmware to 2.7 for GH5. Confirmed: works perfectly, XL 0.64 & Sigma 12-35. No lockups, no vignetting (that I can detect). Seems to have moved straight along from what I had with the GH$, except now a way better camera with the GH5.
questions, i use trhe GH4 and have had great luck with my Lexar Professional 1000x, but I can get some Lexar Professional 633x for good price, will they work, or is it worth it to pay more for the 1000x? They are both U3 rated. The 1000x has a 150m/s speed, while the 633x has a 95/s speed.
Rest In Peace Eskild Fors.
Gr8 post AndyAx. Love the music.
But how about your Apurture DEC Lensregain on the GH5??? There are no tests on the internet about this adapter setup. I'm curious if it is working properly. Please make a test about it Andyax!
PeeteBoxBattle Should work the same, it's still the same m4/3 lens connection.
PeeteBoxBattle I am waiting for my GH5 to arrive and will be doing several videos on it with the Aputure DEC Lensregain and different lens including the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 on my gadgets channel
I Agree...
PeeteBoxBattle No difference. The DEC Lensregain has the same bayonet mount, M4/3. Electronic connections on the Canon mount side, not on the camera side (if that makes sense) so it shouldn't cause any trouble
It should work great, since the DEC Lens Regain is independent (not connected to the camera through the adapter), and the GH5 has the same MTF mount :) The only issue could be to control the start and stop recording, as this is enabled through a cable from the adapter to the camera. But I can't see why that wouldn't work either :)
Great side by side comparison, even with the limited time you had! I just got a used GH4 so it'll be a while before I upgrade, but I definitely look forward to seeing what the competition will bring out in response.
Looking at you, Canon... ಠ_ಠ
Ha ha ha! They came out with the EOS R! What a joke!
I was sooo ready for this video.
I truely appeciate the way this is done. Unlike most videos from the usa ,instead of endless rambling on about camera options and really just showing off knowledge and wanting to hear their own voice, this video just shows the comparison/performance of the two camera's and the viewer can draw own observations/conclusions. This is the way to compare camara's!
Nice comparison.
My GH5 with sigma 18-35mm and XL 0.64x freezing when i turn on camera. If i hold button on speedbooster then works, but focus peeking doesn't work. Somebody know what to do?
cool! u are a great youtuber and i oun my stadycam and GH4 because of you! keep uploadind great videos and rewiews!
Andyax, thanks for the comparison. While using sigma and metabones, are you comfortable with AF while recording? (not the continious one)
Thanks for this Video. Why video from GH4 was more sharp? Is this lenses difference or what?
please, Could you tell me which speedbooster did you use on the GH5 with the sigma 18-35mm? the ULTRA 0.71x version or XL 0.64x version?
would like to know too
I have the SAME DOUBT!!!
6:53 show us it's a 0.726x Mitakon Zhongyi, not a Metabones 0.71x or 0.64x. Case solved!
Lobsang White I used to own the Nikon to Sony version of this brand I liked it but I can't find this one Andy has used.
Hej Mark, Zhongyi lens turbo v1 is discontinued.
Look at this one, www.zyoptics.net/product/zhongyi-lens-turbo-adapters-for-micro-four-thirds-cameras-m43/
Hallo Anders, hope u doing great? I just want to compliment u on ur works and time to put out good videos.
I appreciate u. On the other hand, i would like to know how to color grade ur footage orvif there are any LUTs i could try in achieve that cinematic look.
Thanks and hope to get a prompt reply.
Hi Andy, can I ask you a quick question about the GH5? I am looking to possibly buy one soon. Is it possible set up two focus points in the camera and then activate each via a remote control. I am making a short film all by myself and so need to be able to pull focus when I am not near the camera. Any suggestions would be really appreciated :)
Hey Andyax, how did you manage to edit/upload the slow motion footage made in 1080p 96fps together with the 4k 30fps to UA-cam, Maintaining both usable in fullscreen? Thanks :)
Wonderful Video! Well done! I´ve addet to my favourits!
Same here....The GH5 is very nice but...i still love my GH4 :)
Great man 😍 good to see you
Veldig bra, som alltid Andyax! Et spm: hvilken linse tenker du at man bør gå for på GH5 under 15000 kr for videomaking?
Great review! Greetings from Spain.
Great video, keep up the great content! what is the name of the FONT at the end credits???????
Thanks!
Hey!! Thanks for the video! Andy, did you tested the GH5 10bit internal recording vs the GH4 10 bit with external recording?
I would love to check the difference. Because here in Brazil, where i live, buying the GH4 with a Blackmagic videoassist is cheaper than buying the gh5 alone..!
Appriciated your hard work. . .
awesome comparison, thanks
Missed your review videos!
jeg har ventet på denne videoen lenge! endelig er den her :-)
Hey there! Can you advice on ND filters, with gh5 - sigma combo? I´m not sure if a 0.9 will do the job or a 1.2 is better. Variable ND´s cost a lot more...So I´m leaning towards no variable! Thanks!
Very nice! I've shot with the Gh4 and it is indeed a good camera! What are your thoughts on the a7s II?
Me too stil love my GH4 :)
Hi Andy, I really like your videos and appreciate the effort you are putting on these. Since I saw your video about the GH4, the Sigma and the Metabones I am saving my money in order to buy the speedbooster. Just a few days ago I heard about the Viltrox speedbooster. Would you recommend it, have you heard about it at all? Best regards from Cologne.
Did you ever get that Viltrox and are you happy with it? I have always found the Metabones gives me the least trouble, and while the Viltrox is just as sharp in the middle, Viltrox is less sharp at the edges. Doesn't matter for most shots, but relevant for landscape work.
Andy what is the typeface you use at the end of the video I really like it. Plus do you have link to the speedbooster you used - thanks.
Excellent comparison video! I hope you don't mind me asking as well, what song was used from 2:04. Thanks!
Lots Of Love Judy - Johannes Bornlöf [Music Epidemic Sound ]
GH5+ Speedbooster + Sigma full frame 18 to 35 1.8 , what is the aperture value with this setup in micro four thirds ?
Hey Andy! Is -5,0,0,0,0 the CineLike D settings you most often use for filmmaking? I've been using 0,-5,-5,-5,+4 (+4 to offset weird green-ish tint).. I'd like to know your thoughts. :)
by your previous recommendation, i have the exact same setup as you, gh4,sigma 18-35, speedboaster, so this video was nice review what upgrading the camera would be like,, And i have to say, i will get myself an GH5, but i will wait for it to slighty drop in price, and when they have made the 10bit internal recording come true, with the, still non-available sd-card speeds
besides slow motion, stabilization and shutter test, the footage of the GH4 in my opinion still looks crisper than the GH5. I'm viewing this video on my LG 34" curve monitor so I can pretty much see the details better than viewing it in a small monitor. how much is the GH5 and now for the GH4?
YourTechGuide GH4 ~ 850-1000 // GH5 ~ 1900-2000
Where the F are you living? Brand new GH4 is still US$1500 and GH5 is US$2000
BadmashFactory Germany. :D
BadmashFactory on Amazon the GH4 costs 877 and the GH5 costs 1999 EURO. :D
gh4 is $997 on Amazon (US) now.
nice video!
Which speedbooster did you use ? the 0.64 or 0.71 crop? and did you had problems with vignetting ?
Nice video - but what was the non-gh4/5 footage shot with - what gear did you use? It's looks really good.
Hello. You are using a Panasonic Lumix GH camera and a Sigma AF 18-35mm lens with a Viltrox EF-M1 adapter. If you focus on the subject, and change the focal length of the lens (18 - 35 or 35 - 18). Does the subject remain sharp? The sharpness disappears on my camera, and I need to focus a second time. When using a Panasonic 12 -38, 2.8 lens, there is no such effect. I change the focal length and the subject is constantly in focus. What do you think is the cause of the effect with Sigma AF 18-35mm.
thank you guys !
Hi! Just wondering what camera did you use to record at the beginning of the video? Thanks :)
Hello @Andyax. Could you tell me wich Speedbooster you use ? (0.64X ou 0.71X). Thanks!
2nd, I've had a GH5 for testing versus a GH4. And I've seen less noise on GH5 and better ISO (but same sensitivity), but I've used "Natural" profile and Vlog. And not CinelikeD at -5 (which is noisy for me). Best regards!
Can you still use the in body image stabilization with the speedbooster and the sigma 18-35? I saw some people saying that there is some vignieting when using IBS
Excelente, muchas gracias!!!
Nice color grading👍🏻!
Hello +Andyax is it just me or GH4 appears to have a little wider Dynamic Range on your tests? Initially I thought GH4 was over exposed but I can see details on highlights, any thoughts about this?
I missed you guys so much! :*
nice videos, thanks for Tricks on camera 😇
Jeg skal kjøpe gh5 til neste uke. Gleder meg veldig. Skal bruke den for en reklame film :)
Fantastisk video! Jeg sitter å smiler over hvor bra bilde blir
What is the name of the final song from the video? I can't detect it using any built-in Chrome extensions.
Hey @andyax... I need your professional opinion... which would you choose and why... Sony A6300 or Panasonic GH4... Thanks
Hey, it looked like the GH5 had a bit lower dynamic range, both in the puppy and basketball tests. Do you think this is actually a sensor change or a cinelike change?
Nice comparision!
That piece of beautiful music starting from 02:04 is called "Lots Of Love Judy" by Johannes Bornlöf from Epidemic Sound
When will the behind the scenes of 'The Camera Hack' come out?
hello ! what do you think about the autofocus system problem of the gh5 ? thank u
Hello I have the GH4, & the zoom is too close what would I need to be able
To zoom out further I have the 45-150Mm lens on it thanks
