Panasonic announced the new GH5 camera (specs here). And in many areas it marks a new pinnacle in the “hybrid mirrorless” segment. It’s good to see Panasonic bringing such an advanced model as I hope Sony will soon answer with a new A7s mark III that can match or beat some of its features. And the A6700 coming in March should have some GH5 features too…just a joke…it’s not coming in March :)
First of all the GH5 has a dual card slot. And at least we have been told by our sources that the next generation A7s mark III will have such a dual card slot. But what Sony should give us too are some of the other Gh5 features like:
1) Very fast and reliable autofocusing (DFD tech)
2) 10 bit 4:2:2 internal recording (at 400Mbps)
3) proper Full Size Hdmi connection (not that stupid mini Hdmi). And USB-C!
4) Overall better button layout and menu structure
5) Unlimited recording time and no overheating
6) 3,680k-dot OLED LVF
Philip Bloom seems to agree with me that Sony has a lot to learn from the GH5:
Panasonic could be onto a winner here in the indie sector and maybe further. 10bit capture internally with no time limits? If it is good expect this to be used as extra cameras on big shoots. Roll on March! Over to you Sony, you better make that A7S III have specs to at least equal this! That is a big ask!
There are many other cool details you can learn from those two videos below:

Panasonic GH5 (Thoughts from a Sony Mirrorless Shooter)

Many PRO photographers use to make large prints of their photos when doing exhibitions. But this could change thanks to a new Sony CLEDIS technology displayed by Sony at CES this year. Gizmodo writes:
Each tile is just 17.875 inches wide, and stitched together, they could build you a wall of infinite size. The above display is 36 feet by 9 feet, at a resolution of 8K by 2K.
Of course this is just an expensive prototype yet. But in a couple of years this may be the tech used to show your pictures….

Today(January 4th at 5:00pm Las Vegas time) Sony will live stream a press conference from the CES show. There is almost zero chance Sony will announce a new camera or lens. Instead our sources told us to expect them to show a new prototype of “CLEDIS TV screens”. These are rumored to be even better than OLED TV’s;

New E-mount lenses are more likely to be announced by early February before the CP+ show in Japan.
