We can barely contain our excitement about the release of thePanasonic's new mirrorless MFT (micro four thirds) camera, the Lumix GH5. This is the first mirrorless camera with 4K video at 60/50p. With these faster frame rates, filmmakers no longer have to sacrifice resolution to get slow motion or a simply a crispy, faster rate of capture. Panasonic took things further by adding internal 4:2:2 10-bit image capture for 4K video at up to 30 fps. The camera also boasts a 20.3-megapixel sensor, highly effective shake correction (which can compensate for up to five stops of shutter speed), an accurate Advanced DFD autofocus system that can lock on in just .05 seconds, and 6K PHOTO mode at 30 fps.

Today, at 1 PM, the folks at B&H Photo and Video are hosting a livestreamed panel with filmmakers and photographers to discuss the GH5 and its features. The panel includes filmmakers Jacki Huntington and Griffin Hammond, photographer and filmmaker David Flores, and YouTube content creator Lok Cheung. Panasonic LUMIX Luminary Team member Sean Robinson will also be on hand to answer user-submitted questions. If you submit a question on Twitter, you will be entered for a chance to win a GH5 camera. Just include the hashtag #BHPhotoLive.
