![]() ![]() It also has live-streaming capabilities, and the video autofocus functions very well. The stabilization system provides up to 6.5EV steps of compensation, which is hugely handy (while not everyone likes the smaller Four-Thirds sensors, they are easier to stabilize). In fact, this is a very minor refresh all around, but the video features it does add make it definitely worth considering for those who produce video content, even with the newer Lumix GH6 also on the shelves. The original Panasonic Lumix GH5 was pretty widely regarded as one of the best consumer video cameras you could buy, so it makes sense that the Panasonic Lumix GH5 Mark II wouldn't mess too much with that formula. Read more: Panasonic Lumix GH6 review for more details While the Lumix GH6 is primarily a filmmaker's camera, its impressive stills credentials mean it's one of the best buys around right now for content creators who can meet its price tag. Plus, it's a hybrid camera that's no slouch on stills! You don't put 75fps burst shooting in a camera if you don't think anyone's going to want to take pictures with it, after all. Its design is also filmmaker-focused, with a vari-angle LCD screen, and physical controls including a dedicated audio management button. It copes with its intense data demands by adding in a CFExpress Type B card slot, as well as a UHS-II SD card slot. With internal Apple ProRes 422 and ProRes 422 HQ, internal Cinema 4K 4:2:0 10-Bit, and many more class-leading options, the Lumix GH6 is simply a beast when it comes to video. We recently handed it over to a professional filmmaker for their take on it, and the verdict was that the GH6 offers: "a compelling set of features that simply can’t be rivaled at its price point." With continuous AF, the best you can do is 5 frames per second.With every iteration of its Lumix GH series, Panasonic has been inching closer to creating the perfect filmmaker's mirrorless camera, and the Lumix GH6 makes a damn good case for having cracked it. Although Olympus advertises a burst rate of 8.7 shots per second, this camera isn’t the best choice for fast-paced sports, since you get that speed only if you disable continuous autofocus tracking.As a result, you may miss a brief moment when burst shooting, but this issue never prevented us from getting the shot we wanted. In our tests, the focus point had a tendency to shift to the background when a subject moved around the frame. Though the E-M10 IV’s AF system locks focus quickly and accurately on static subjects, its performance is less reliable when it’s trying to track a moving subject.Be sure to carry an extra battery for longer outings. At just 360 shots per charge, the E-M10 IV’s battery life is notably shorter than what you get from our picks by Fujifilm and Sony (580 and 520 shots, respectively). But given the complexity of cameras, as well as photographers’ demands for ever-greater control over their cameras, mirrorless cameras will likely never rid themselves of complex menu systems. The E-M10 IV’s menu system, like most modern camera menus, is annoyingly complicated.Weather sealing: A sunshower or some light rain shouldn’t interrupt a good day of shooting or cause damage to your camera.Fast, reliable autofocus: Capturing a sharp photo when you want it, and being able to maintain focus on a subject as it moves throughout the frame, is essential.Second card slot: Whether you want instant backup of your shots, the ability to separate your video and stills storage, or simply the peace of mind that comes from having another card already there when you need it, a second slot is useful.Long battery life: You shouldn’t be interrupted too often by the need to switch batteries. ![]() ![]() Fast burst-shooting rate: Fast-moving subjects are often best captured in a burst of images.Tilting or rotating screen: You’re likely to want to take a photo from a strange angle eventually.Comfortable grip and ample external controls: It shouldn’t be hard to adapt your shooting to a new situation.High-resolution EVF: An electronic viewfinder that provides a detailed view of your subject makes it easier for you to frame your images and is essential when you’re focusing manually. ![]()
