Panasonic Lumix GH5 DC-GH5LK 2017
A 20.3MP sensor without a low-pass filter captures sharp stills, while internal 4K60p 8-bit and 4K30p 10-bit recording provides serious video flexibility in a durable magnesium alloy body. The included LEICA 12-60mm F2.8-4.0 lens and 5-axis Dual I.S. 2.0 stabilization deliver 5 stops of correction for smooth handheld footage. This kit is best for videographers and hybrid shooters who prioritize robust in-camera recording tools over sports and wildlife autofocus performance.
