Quality of Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 Compact System Camera
Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 Compact System Camera scored an incredible 8.1/10 for quality.
As you’d expect with a lot of products, quality is a very important factor for choosing products in the “Cameras” category. But it’s even more important to consider and get a feel for quality when you’re buying online because you aren’t given the benefit of being able to see and try the item for yourself.
This is of course why we can’t stress enough the importance of reading lots of reviews, as it will really help you to get a good feel for how good the quality is. A top tip when reading the reviews is to use the search function on your browser and search for the word “quality” in the reviews that way you can skip straight to customers that have mentioned about the quality of Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 Compact System Camera.
Once you’ve had a good look over the reviews you’ll have a pretty good indication of how good the quality of Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 Compact System Camera is, but we also have the following factors that you should consider to get an idea of the quality of the product you’re looking at.
- Price: It probably sounds obvious, but there are links to the price you pay and the quality of a product. Try and set your expectations for the quality based on your budget. You wouldn’t expect a Rolls-Royce for the price of a Fiesta so bear this in mind when shopping.
- Specification: It’s a really good idea to look over the product description and specification section of the website, for Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 Compact System Camera you can read the full details on the John Lewis & Partners website where it will give you all the detail you need. It’s useful as you’ll probably already have a good idea of the sort of specs that make good Cameras. Also compare these specs to other similar products that are in the same price bracket.
- Brand: Panasonic are obviously a strong and recognisable brand for making great Cameras, so you’d expect Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 Compact System Camera to deliver to these expectations. But always consider the brand when you’re thinking about the quality of the product you’re going to buy, and where quality is an important factor to you, look only at those well known brands (of course only if your budget allows).
- Your experience with Cameras: You’ll no doubt have some history with buying Cameras, and you may have even bought products from the same brand, Panasonic, use this information to your advantage. You’ll probably have a good idea of how good the quality of the product was and any faults or floors you remember from it.

Price, a hugely important part of any purchase.

There’s a lot of geeky analysis to be done on price, but what we find most effective and informative is to look at 3 different figures when comparing products and that is the average price, the most expensive and the cheapest. This gives you a really good feel for what the normal product would cost but also giving you an idea of just how cheap you can find it or the opposite, just how expensive some are. It’s also useful to look at the average of the products that fit in the same category as well as products from the same brand. So we’re going to look in more detail now at the price of Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 Compact System Camera.

- EAN: 5025232859214
- Description: Panasonic’s GH5 is an awesomely capable compact system camera. With a larger sensor than its predecessor, refined Venus Engine and more powerful image stabilisation, stills and movies are incredibly detailed and breathtakingly lifelike. Stunning 4K UHD video resolution runs at an ultra-smooth 60p for the first time, and 6K Photo shooting allows you to select that perfect split-second still from a burst file to save as a high-quality image. With super-fast autofocus, a live viewfinder and a highly flexible touch screen, all housed in a rugged body built for the outdoor life, the mirrorless GH5 delivers unprecedented picture quality in the history of Lumix cameras. Superb Sensor & Venus Engine At 20.3 megapixels, the Digital LIVE MOS Sensor is 25% bigger than that of the GH4 benefitting superb resolution, image rendering and colour reproduction, while the removal of the low-pass filter maximises the level of detail possible. The refined Venus Engine processor achieves amazing image quality, especially with Natural Texture Expression for breathtakingly lifelike natural tones. It analyses the characteristic and optimally processes each individual pixel for stunning detail, realism and suppression of false colour. High Precision Multi Process Noise Reduction boasts four times the accuracy on the previous model, so visual noise is countered and detail is retained, meaning low-light photos can be clearly shot at high ISOs of 25600. Stills and movies are blur-free: in conjunction with a compatible lens, powerful 5-axis dual image stabilisation compensates for larger, previously uncontrollable movements, making it equivalent to shooting at a maximum 5 stop slower shutter speed. Perfect for telephoto and single-handed use, and all in stunning 4K. 4K Video For the first time, 4K UHD video runs at up to 60p (i.e. frame refreshes per second) for unbelievably smooth and ultra-detailed footage. It also means you can slow your footage down without losing any fine detail. The sensor and venus engine combine to suppress rolling distortion, while faster quality signal reading ensures every single frame is of outstanding quality. Special film characteristic styles (‘Cinelike D’ and ‘Cinelike V’ for example) are available to give your work that authentic film feel, and with no recording duration limit you can go beyond 30 minutes in all settings. 6K Photo The 6K Photo feature allows you to extract an 18MP resolution image from a 6K Burst Shooting File running at 30 frames per second, so you will always master that one perfect split-second moment, in beautifully glorious detail. Awesome Autofocus Using improved Depth from Defocus technology, autofocus is increased on the previous model up to a super-fast 0.05sec at 12 frames per second. So it’s easy to keep locked onto fast moving subjects and keep them super-sharp. The frame contains 225 focus points, and you can customise a focal group using the thumb joystick. Meanwhile the Post Focus function even makes it possible to select the area of focus after you’ve taken the shot. Live Viewfinder and Vari-angle Touch Screen The large OLED Live Viewfinder boasts an amazing magnification ratio of 1.52x (0.76x 35mm camera equivalent), while the rear touch screen achieves approx. 100% field of view and can be positioned at any angle so you can always find the perfect shot, even in the trickiest environment. Wireless Sharing Integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi makes wireless connection with your smart device easy, for instant sharing of your work. Tough Construction The GH5 is tough enough to withstand heavy use in the field. Composed of magnesium alloy and joint-sealed, not only is it splash and dust proof, but freeze-proof down to minus 10 degrees celsius. So it’ll keep delivering incredible imagery through the toughest of photography adventures. Lenses & Cases One of the biggest advantages of this camera is the sheer shooting flexibility on offer. You can use additional lenses to take wide-angle, telephoto, or close-up shots to suit just about any situation. The shorter the focal length (measured in mm), the wider the view will be – the longer the focal length, the more telescopic the picture. With a selection of interchangeable lenses at your disposal, the creative possibilities are endless. Click here to browse our selection. Take care of your new camera with one of our cases.
