GH5S in reverse motion. GH5 in forward motion.
With this video, I learn two things;
1) Panasonic is aware they are a laughing stock of their shitty video AF
2) The new firmware update will definitely give me an idea of how serious they will take video AF on the FF line if their claim of AI with AF will hold any merits or just some usual sales gimmick.
Price drop! Amazon is selling the GH5S for slightly over $2K:

The chances stay very good that Panasonic will release a new firmware update for the G9-GH5-GH5s at Photokina.
Firmware main purpose can be paid option.
Now that this camera has been out for awhile, anyone have a feeling for how much sharper is the GH5 in real world?
If I recall correctly, GH1 and GH2 both had a multi aspect ratio sensor, but the GH3/GH4/GH5 did not? And now the GH5S returns with a multi aspect ratio sensor, so the GH5S would have the same field of view in 16:9 shooting as the GH1/GH2 had?
@martinbeek Maybe you could point out the differences you're seeing. Like Joe, they all look pretty much the same to me - maybe the 5's on the right side of the first two images look a little different. Either way, the differences in those images is so incredibly minor that unless you're using the GH5 for some sort of scientific measurements, nobody who is watching whatever you've shot is likely to notice or care.
They are cut-outs of the most interesting part at 1:1 resolution. If viewed 100%, that is the original resolution. 1 pixel is 1 pixel of the original footage.
And the absolutely do NOT look the same ;-)

@martinbeek Those pics are not high enough resolution to see any difference, they look the same.
Just my two cents... I thought there was something wrong with my glass.., or my Mac's screen.., it turned out to be the camera... sh*t....
I've also attached the self-explanatory images here...
In VLOG itself it is no difference, in DR it is some difference.
If you waited for more discount - https://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/19980/ebay-15-coupon-up-to-100-very-good-offer#Item_2
Yep, trade in ended. Exactly due to price drop that Panasonic made as they become too tired waiting for Sony delayed camera.
Could be a really good deal if you can pair the trade-in offer above with today's $200 off sale ($2,297.99 after sale, $1,997.99 with trade-in credit)
(The trade-in supposedly ended yesterday, but it's still showing on the website - could be worth contacting B&H or Adorama directly to see if they will still give the trade-in bonus)
