Kai compares the Panasonic GH5 vs Olympus OM-D EM1 Mark II vs Sony a6500 and none of them are perfect so it’s up to you to decide which features matter most to you. I personally prefer the GH5 out of the three followed by the a6500 and then OM-D. Kai also picked the GH5.

Mirrorless Lessons released their excellent review of the Panasonic GH5 and it’s surprisingly different than the rest because it focuses on the cameras photo ability over video ability. The Panasonic GH series has always been well rounded, but ML call the GH5 one of the most well-rounded cameras they have ever reviewed.

– 25:07 – Conclusion
If I were going to buy a flagship m43 camera today it would be a Panasonic GH5, but the Olympus OM-D wouldn’t be far behind. Especially if they dropped the price to bring it more in line with cameras like the Fujifilm X-T2 or even Nikon D500.
