1. Panasonic Lumix GH5<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"video<\/a>Image Source<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Type: Mirrorless | Sensor size: Micro Four Thirds | Resolution: 20.3MP | Lens: Micro Four Thirds | Viewfinder: EVF | Monitor: 3.2-inch vari-angle display, 1,620,000 dots | Maximum continuous shooting speed: 12fps | Movies: 4K | User level: Expert<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lumix GH5 allows you to shoot Cinema 4K (4096 x 2160) at 60p with a bit rate of 150Mbps. For shooting the 4K videos, \u00a0the GH5 uses the entire width of the chip and then down-samples the footage in-camera. \u00a0The GH5 offers color subsampling at 4:2:2 and a color depth of 10-bit which delivers greater color information and richer graduations. It offers live output to external recorders such as Apple ProRes via HDMI. Also, it allows simultaneous internal recording. <\/span><\/p>\n
