Is 10-Bit, 4K Video Worth It on the Panasonic GH5?
In a word…yes. Check out the Panasonic GH5 video samples below.
The difference between 8-bit 4k video and 10-bit 4k video is huge. Not so much when you are just shooting video and leaving it at that. However, the difference is noticeable when editing or using green screen. I am pretty sure I also see a greater sharpness in the 10-bit footage too…

My early thoughts on the Panasonic GH5? It is not just an updated GH4, but it is more of a complete re-working of an already capable and impressive GH4.
The additional features on the GH5 and improved video quality make it one of the best cameras at this price point. The only thing that let down the Panasonic GH4 for me was the stills quality so I never used it for that.
If the Panasonic GH5 can produce great stills it could well become my most used, most carried around camera. I already know the answer that is coming in the next blog post...
