The GFX 50S has some extended ISO capabilities that can push all the way up to 102400, and it records at a passable 1080p HD at 30fps. However, it more than makes up for its lack of slow-mo with its truly awesome tones and colors, and and three-dimensional look.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">51.4mp CMOS sensor<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">X-Processor Pro image processor<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.2\u201d Tilting Touchscreen LCD<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extended ISO 50-102400<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1080p Full HD<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Film simulation recording modes<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multi-aspect ratio shooting<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Price: $5,849<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here\u2019s another helpful video to check out the Fujifilm GFX 50S in action.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wq9wfUV8744?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Also, consider the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fujifilm.com\/products\/digital_cameras\/x\/fujifilm_x_t2\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Fujifilm X-T2<\/a>\u00a0new or used at a more competitive price point.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"4-panasonic-lumix-gh4\">4.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/shop.panasonic.com\/cameras-and-camcorders\/cameras\/lumix-interchangeable-lens-ilc-cameras\/DMC-GH4KBODY.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Panasonic Lumix GH4<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_103624\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Lumix-GH4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-103624\" class=\"wp-image-103624 size-full\" title=\"The Best Mirrorless Cameras for Filmmakers and Videographers \u2014 Lumix gh4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Lumix-GH4.jpg\" alt=\"The Best Mirrorless Cameras for Filmmakers and Videographers \u2014 Lumix gh4\" width=\"755\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Lumix-GH4.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Lumix-GH4.jpg?resize=300,171 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Lumix-GH4.jpg?resize=277,158 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Lumix-GH4.jpg?resize=359,204 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Lumix-GH4.jpg?resize=543,309 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Lumix-GH4.jpg?resize=560,319 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Lumix-GH4.jpg?resize=150,85 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-103624\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.panasonic.com\/global\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Panasonic<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Before we dive into the GH5 below, we can\u2019t pass off the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 as just an older edition bargain\u00a0since the GH4 is still one of the best mirrorless cameras on the market. While sometimes knocked for its micro four-thirds crop, the GH4 still has a powerful 16.05mp MOS sensor that punches above its weight class. You\u2019ll still get some very impressive UHD 4K recording (at 3840 x 2160) up to 30fps and cinematic DCI 4K (at 4096&#215;2160) at 24fps. You can also push up to 60fps and keep Full HD for some great slow-motion capabilities. Like the GH5 (and the GH3 before it), the GH4 is a strong camera comparable to Canon\u00a0thanks to its sturdy build and take-anywhere weather resistance.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16.05mp MOS sensor<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) at 24fps<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) at 30fps<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1080p Full HD at 60fps<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3\u201d Touchscreen OLED<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-speed 49-Point AF<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Built-In Wi-Fi<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Price: $999<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>View the GH4 in action in this video review.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6ci6DYXbKrs?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>You can also take a step back and invest in the <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.panasonic.com\/support-only\/DMC-GH3KBODY.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">GH3<\/a> or another used version.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"5-panasonic-lumix-gh5\">5.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/shop.panasonic.com\/cameras-and-camcorders\/cameras\/lumix-interchangeable-lens-ilc-cameras\/DC-GH5KBODY.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Panasonic Lumix GH5<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_103620\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GH5.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-103620\" class=\"wp-image-103620 size-full\" title=\"The Best Mirrorless Cameras for Filmmakers and Videographers \u2014 Lumix gh5\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GH5.jpg\" alt=\"The Best Mirrorless Cameras for Filmmakers and Videographers \u2014 Lumix gh5\" width=\"755\" height=\"566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GH5.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GH5.jpg?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GH5.jpg?resize=277,208 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GH5.jpg?resize=359,269 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GH5.jpg?resize=543,407 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GH5.jpg?resize=560,420 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GH5.jpg?resize=150,112 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-103620\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via Panasonic.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And finally, again in no particular order, Panasonic\u2019s GH5 rounds out our list as one of the most popular offerings currently on the market. While Panasonic\u2019s updated GH5s has currently entered the market with some additional improvements to the sensor and ISO capabilities (to name a few), we can still focus on the GH5 as a budding classic in and of itself. Like most of the information about the GH4 above, the GH5 is a micro four-thirds crop, but with a greater 20.3mp MOS sensor and the same 4K and high fps capabilities.
