In the camera tech beat, the news is currently saturated with full-frame offerings, and that's why it's refreshing when a camera company goes against the grain and continues to develop for formats that are still very popular.
The GH5 II is the latest Micro Four Thirds camera from Panasonic, and not only is it a big upgrade from its predecessor, it keeps the price point low at only $1,699 for the body alone.

The headline features of the GH5 II that improve upon the GH5 are 4K DCI 60p 10-bit recording at 4:2:2 externally or 4:2:0 internally with no recording limits. Better yet, you can simultaneously record 4K 60p 10-bit internally and externally.
There are several new color profiles that include Cinelike D2 and Cinelike V2, which is Panasonic's equivalent to Sony's S-Cinetone. The autofocus has been improved tremendously. There's still no phase detection AF (that might come in the G6), but it's a big jump in terms of eye and face detection.
