how is the gh5?

my church bought a building and we are moving in next month so upping our camera equipment for streaming. Thinking of going with gh5's

The GH5 is an amazing camera and almost impossible to beat at the price point.
For what it’s worth, my first camera was a canon SL1. I Stratford by doing training videos for the place I worked. I outgrew that gears limitations and bought a gh5. I rocked with that camera for 4 years and made over $100k with it. The 4k quality is fantastic and it can do 4k / 60fps.
Ive filmed live events indoors and had great results. Some will critique the camera for being micro four thirds and complain about low light performance. I disagree in most scenarios. It’s an incredibly versatile camera. Again, for the price, it can’t be beat.
I’m using 2 red Komodos now but I’ve never gotten rid of my gh5.

the panel is free and you can get it here

A little help here if you have the time. So I downloaded everything and installed the panel but it isn't recognizing any of it when I try to use it. Any idea why?

After you download and install you should see under filter all the retouch for me

The panel would appear under plugins. The panel is in a .ccx file you would extract that .ccx file you get these files

you would then copy that folder to
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2022\Plug-ins

Or whatever version of adobe photoshop you use but it would go in that plugin folder

Then you restart photoshop and the panel is there

Skin and Portrait volumes unfortunately won't work with the panel because there are newer versions out there it takes you to the page. But Dodge and burn and heal works perfectly

As well you don't need the panel you can just use the filters and everything works fine


I recommend this action, does dodge and burn heal, etc. for you. It uses retouch4me

I just ordered me a Sony a7 mark IV
...but I only got the kit lens with it

I think I'm going to order the fujifilm x-t4 as well, and see how they compare to each other and decide which one to keep.

so my a7 just arrived from amazon. i'm a bit concerned though, because there was no seal on the box itself. no plastic film on the lcd, and it was facing outwards, and the lens can on the lens was loose and was only held on because of the paper-textured bags/pouches each item was in inside the box. does this sound consistent with sony camera packaging, or did they try to pass a used item off on me as brand new?

sounds used tbh. I remember my a7iii having a film on the LCD for sure.
didn't get it with a kit lens so can't comment on that. Amazon customer service usually good with that kinda stuff - contact em if anything
