Jon Olsson team still using the Panasonic GH5 it seems

This shot if from a video publiced 5 aug 2017 (from the Jon Olsson team). So this is the camera they are using now, at least in this shot. :)


Benji ((Benjamin Ortega) showing himself in the mirror. Looks like the Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 right?
Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera.

It has an in-built 5-axis imagestabilsator.

It has 2 sd-cards slots. And also bluetooth. It comes with a 20.3MP Digital Live MOS sensor.

Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5, the camerahouse cost about 24 000 SEK (In Sweden). You can find it cheaper in other countries.

Update 2017-08-10



Jon tells us they are shooting the vlog with 2 Panasonic GH5.

They have lenses all the way
Biggest: 100-400 mm (which means micro 4/3 will be the equivalent of 800 mm lens instead of a fullframe.)

He tells us that this camera shot with 180 frames per second (autofocus doesnt work then, sound doesnt work), which most Sony and other cameras shoot in 120. (this means more slow motion). And it doesnt crop when you shot slow motion.

Other lens: 85 mm, its a 42.5 (Leica made for the Panasonic) in  micro four thirds. They use this for example when filmen from inside the car. Jon thinks the image stabilisation is great. It outcompetes the RED because of this. "Being able to not have a gimbal is so sick."

And the one the use to film normally with is the 7-14 mm (think it's Leica lens). which is the equivalent of 14- 28mm

So the kind of have 2 cameras ready to go all times.

You have a timelapse function on the GH5.

Downsides to the GH5?

1. Autofocus, they have to constantly push the focus butten when filming. Especially problem when a person is alone to film himself or something.

2. Low light

But generally he thinks that for vlogging its the best camera. And he points out that he is not paid to say this.

Post zoom, they usually starts at 100% and then goes to 115/130 %.

The Search continues, Olympus OMD E-M1 4/3 camera?

Micro four-thirds?


The search for the optimal camera continues.. Just found this article by Chris Corradino. He seems to have change from a full DSLR camera to a mirrorless Olympus OMD E-M1. Fascinating read, check it out:

"The Battle is Over: My Micro 4/3 Camera Outsold my Full-Frame DSLR
 MAR 24, 2017" - Chris Corradino


I have to read up a little more about this, sound interesting. How is the video quality for example?? Whats the specification, frames per second, image stabilazation and so on..

Here's some quotes from Olympuspassion.com

"With my 12-40 and 40-150 I have an effective 24-300 range with a constant aperture of f2.8 in a weather-sealed system." - Chris Corradino, link

"For me, a bigger sensor wasn’t the marker of a great camera. The real a-ha moment was when I tested the full frame Canon 6D against the Olympus OMD EM10. The Olympus image was sharp from corner to corner while the Canon gear produced a very soft photo." - Chris Corradino 
"On the OMD E-M1 I mounted the incredible Olympus 40-150mm f2.8. The OMD E-M10 was paired with the versatile 12-40mm f2.8. For extra reach I also brought the Olympus 1.4x extender. To say I was pleased would be an understatement." - Chris Corradino

Don't use music from Ahrix in your Youtube videos!

Warning for the unhonest Ahrix person (group or whatever), claiming:


► Want to use my music?
Give me credit and you're good.


I did just that but NO,... got a  "Contains copyrighted material" claim in the videohandler at Youtube. So this person is just wasting your time! My tips is don't use the music. Save your precios time for someone more serios.


YES! Even though I gave Ahrix credit, links etc (according to instructions).. The music isnt even that good.. for god sake.

The result is that I had to remove the music and put another one there.. Rerender the video, change music text in Video and "description".upload again.. Gaaahhh!! Just waste of my time, hope I can save you this hassle. 

For info. I used the song "Nova"..
Conclusion.. You are not aloud to have ads in your videos using this music..i.e You cannot make money on your vidoes using this music = AVOID! There are lots of free alternatives you can use instead..

Jon Olsson pick if he had only one camera, Panasonic GH5

Jon changes his camera setup and buys a Panasonic GH5.

Resently he seems to have been using Leica Q, Sony A7S II or Sony a7R II which by the way is a 42MP full frame mirrorless camera with 5-axis image stabilization.

10:25 “Lens wise you already know that I love this super long lens. 100 to 400, 200 to 800 on like normal say Sony numbers. Love that thing, yeah you got that. Then we have the 7 to 14, light, super wide, not the radest lens but it’s cool to have wide shoots some times. We have the 42.5. These are Leica lenses that are made for the Panasonic.” – Jon Olsson
//One of his lenses is Panasonic, and the others seems to be Leicas in this video //
“And then we have the 12”  //Leica //
Benji: “On this guy”, //the one they’re filming with.//

“[...] If I were to pick one camera and have one camera only it be the GH5 without even like hesitating for a second. I think this camera blows the Sony A7S2 and A7R2 out of the water.” – Jon Olsson
Videoblog Jon Olsson is saying this:
