Administrators Andrew Reid Posted January 12, 2017 Administrators Share Posted January 12, 2017 Take a look at this... GH5's sensor seems to fill out the entire inner circular part of the mount with no black border. Is it really bigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldolega Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Or it's just that the sensor glass is larger, or not shaded/tinted at the edges... Or that's just a rendering and actual photos of the actual production cam/sensor will look like the GH4... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Kotlos Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 No. Probably the official image was either a render or a mockup. Here is a view of the real thing: Kisaha, MountneerMan and Orangenz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a view of the real thing: Well that doesn't look 4:3 does it? Still, they say 5184 x 3888, so has to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem I think (for me) is the photo still isn't directly straight on, so there is some hidden along the top. Nice summary of it's stats. The menu system with huge custom function tab sounds great! The shutter is so nice sounding! More pixels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liork Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 You also fell in this marketing image... Its a standard size micro 4/3 sensor. No "Magic borders" or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted January 12, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted January 12, 2017 Just shows how much room there is to expand the sensor if they wanted to. liork, IronFilm and Orangenz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Moreán Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 But that means creating a new lens lineup and ditching what they already have, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The jvc ls300 has a s35 sensor yet has a m4/3 mount so it should be possible but that doesn't matter as it is not the case with the gh5. Kisaha, Justin Bacle and IronFilm 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Even if they didn't go S35 like the JVC, at the bare minimum it would've been nice to go multi aspect ratio like the GH2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 JVC does brilliant things out of this sensor, it is not the best sensor around (800ISO the most), but it can do Prime Zoom function (it really works! ) and put most lenses ever built, plus there is a metabones there for anyone going larger. The most interesting part is that the sensor is made by JVC (they bought out a small sensor company a few years ago), and JVC, if I am not mistaken, is partially owned by Panasonic, I would expect them to make their own sensors, at least for their flagship, instead of buying them by their main competitors (Sony). webrunner5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
