Panasonic Lumix GH6 vs Panasonic Lumix S5
Every spec below is quoted from the makers' official pages — where a figure isn't published we say so rather than guess. Sizes are drawn at true relative scale from published dimensions, and the bag-fit row is computed against our measured bag catalog.
The 3 biggest published differences
- EVF resolution: the GH6 leads at OLED Live View Finder, approx. 3.68 million dots vs the S5's 0.39 inches, approx. 2,360,000 dots.
- Resolution (MP): the S5 leads at 24,200,000 pixels (effective); 25,280,000 pixels (total) vs the GH6's 25.21 megapixels (effective); 26.52 megapixels (total).
- Burst — electronic: the GH6 leads at SH75: 75 frames/sec (AFS/MF) vs the S5's 7 frames/second (AFS/MF), 5 frames/second (AFC).

Spec values are the manufacturers' published figures, compared factually — we don't rank cameras. Fit verdicts are planning estimates from published interior dimensions, not guarantees. See methodology.
