The Panasonic GH5s firmware version 2.0 releases on June 8th, 2021 at 9pm EST. alongside updates for the G9 and G100. This one is major, unleashing the full potential of the camera via an Atomos Ninja V over HDMI.

Those hoping the next Panasonic MFT leak would be the GH6 will be disappointed to see it’s in fact the GH5 Mark II. We’ve never seen a “Mark II” in the GH series of cameras, so why now? Let’s take a look at the minor upgrades and what Panasonic’s strategy is.
