Lumix GH Series
Panasonic's video-first Micro Four Thirds flagship.
The Lumix GH series has been the benchmark for video-oriented Micro Four Thirds cameras for over a decade. The GH5 II refined the formula with improved autofocus and live streaming; the GH6 raised the ceiling with a new 25MP sensor, 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording and updated stabilisation.
