Deal | 30% off Panasonic Lumix GH5 II Micro Four Thirds hybrid mirrorless camera on Amazon

The Panasonic Lumix GH5 II mirrorless camera body is on sale on Amazon for US$1,197.99 — down US$502.00, or 30%, from its US$1,699.99 MSRP. Panasonic's 20-MP Lumix GH5 II makes for a particularly compelling hybrid camera for small video teams, hobbyists, or travellers that want to keep their kit light. The wealth of quality, compact Micro Four Thirds lenses that back up the camera just sweeten the deal.

Some of the biggest changes from its predecessor are unlimited video live-streaming and 4K 60p internal video recording, but the features and specs that it carried over from the original GH5 are plenty compelling as well. The GH5 II features 6.5 stops of in-body image stabilisation — 1.5 stops more than the original GH5 — for smooth hand-held video and crisp long-exposure images. It's also fully weather-sealed and freeze-resistant to up to -10°C for peace of mind during unpleasant weather conditions.

In terms of video, the GH5 II can record 4k 60p in 10-bit 4:2:0 or 4K 30p in 10-bit 4:2:2, with a variety of colour profiles, including V-Log L, while unlimited video streaming is supported in 1080p at 60 FPS via a USB Type-C or Wi-Fi connection. The GH5 II also supports USB-C charging for truly unlimited streaming. While the GH5 II doesn't support RAW video output, Panasonic's 12-stop V-Log L gives those that want to dabble in colour correction plenty of latitude to work with.
