GH5 vs CX350

[Rory Lane]

Has anyone seen or done any tests between the GH5 and the CX350?

i just received the CX350 couple of weeks ago. I was actually was disappointed that the image that i am getting is not up to the same as as the GH5. Now this could be the operator, so i would be open to anybody to suggest settings to have the sharpness, and less noise as the GH5 can produce.

I have not compared it to the GH5. but I purchased a CX350 a few months ago expecting to use it for HDR video. I really liked the camera but when I started shooting HLG format I found it really lost detail at the low end, in shadows. In retrospect I should have not expected a one inch sensor to do well over a broad HDR range, and I bit the bullet and returned the camera. I expect the GH5 would run into the same issue. In the mean time I now use a Panasonic S1 with a full frame sensor that has exceptional low light sensitivity, and it does really well for HDR. And sure enough I have the S1H on order.

I would really like a camcorder like the CX350 or the Sony Z280, but this isn't in the cards for the way I shoot.
