The camera can deliver a worthwhile 11 x 14 inch print here, with only minor traces of noise in a few areas and the typical red channel softening as mentioned above, but the prints begin to lose some vibrancy from this ISO and higher. ISO 3200 tends to be the turning point for most Micro Four Thirds cameras, and the GH5 is no exception as its prints show a noticeable downturn in quality at this ISO. Most contrast detail is now lost in our tricky red-leaf swatch but otherwise the print is quite good with very little in the form of noise, and plenty of fine detail is still present throughout the print. ISO 1600 also turns in a solid print at 16 x 20 inches (!) which is quite a rare feat for this sensor size. For our official "good" grade we'll award the 16 x 20 inch max print size here, which shows only very mild traces of noise in flatter areas and a typical softening in the red channel, especially evident in our tricky red-leaf fabric swatch. ISO 800 delivers a 20 x 30 inch print that's really not bad for this ISO, and it's a usable print for mid-level applications. Larger prints are certainly possible for wall display purposes here as well. ISO 400 images look good at 24 x 36 inches, with nice color, fine detail and no noticeable clues that the gain has risen.
The higher resolution 20-megapixel sensor certainly proves its worth here as compared to 16-megapixel predecessors and rivals not capable of such a large print at the lower sensitivities. ISO 100/200 prints are quite good at 30 x 40 inches, with pleasing colors and excellent fine detail. Very good 30 x 40 inch prints at ISO 100/200 a nice 16 x 20 at ISO 1600 a good 5 x 7 at ISO 12,800. The Sony A6500 however comes out ahead in this group for both detail and contrast, especially as ISO climbs.
The GH5 also compares well to Canon M5, Fuji X-T2 and Olympus E-M1 II. As you can see, the Panasonic GH5 offers a considerable improvement over the GH4 here in detail, contrast and even color across ISOs. High-contrast detail is also important, pushing the camera in different ways, so we like to look at it separately. Panasonic GH4, Canon EOS M5, Fujifilm X-T2, Olympus E-M1 II, Sony A6500ĭetail comparison. The Sony appears to do much better in our red-leaf swatch, however much of the apparent detail is heavily distorted. Colors are more accurate from the Canon as well, though not quite as saturated.Īt ISO 3200, the Sony A6500 pulls ahead of the GH5 with better detail, contrast and sharpness, however noise in flatter areas is definitely stronger and more noticeable. The Canon M5's default noise reduction also blurs our red-leaf swatch more than the GH5's, however overall noise levels are lower from the M5 (but keep in mind the lower base ISO). Canon's default sharpening is however a bit crude in comparison to GH5's, delivering an image that is softer yet contains more noticeable sharpening halos (the M5's Fine Detail Picture Style would have performed better). Here we can see the 24-megapixel APS-C M5 doesn't really resolve any more detail, but that's mainly because of the different native aspect ratios (3:2 vs 4:3) as this shot is framed vertically which only gives the Canon a resolution advantage of 112 pixels in the vertical axis. While not in same league as the GH5 in terms of price, features, performance and especially video prowess, we decided to include the EOS M5 here as it's currently Canon's top-of-the-line mirrorless and certainly competes in terms of still image quality.
