SeekerPanasonic LUMIX GH5 II
The Panasonic GH5 II is a very good option for studio video. It delivers good overall video quality in 4k and has fantastic internal recording capability, with the ability to record 10-bit 4:2:0 4k footage at up to 60 fps. It also offers a ton of different video recording formats and file sizes. Its menu system is well laid out, and it has a full set of inputs and outputs to connect an auxiliary microphone, headphones, or an external HDMI recorder. That said, its autofocus system is only satisfactory, and its low light performance is a bit worse due to its smaller sensor.

The GH5 felt like a revolutionary product, but GH5 II is a more incremental update. Panasonic has left the bulk of the camera virtually untouched; only the addition of wireless live streaming feels like a significant upgrade. That being said, the new model is just as impressive a video camera as the original, and the few quality-of-life tweaks and minor performance bumps make it another really strong choice, particularly for content creators and vloggers in need of a first “serious” camera.
