Why You Should Probably Just Buy The Lumix S5ii for 2025
The question I get asked most often on here is "What camera should I buy?" and my answer 75% of the time is the Lumix S5ii, especially if you need autofocus.
This is an excerpt from a previous review where I actually had fun making things around the review instead of just actually reviewing the camera. So here's that...

Why I'd still choose a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera OVER the Pyxis in 2024

It's about value. All iterations of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras outperform the Pyxis in value and some of them outperform it in image quality, accessories and versatility as well. The Pyxis is still cool though. Wait 6 months and they'll probably drop the price.

    Bro was right! I don't want my comment to come across as critical but I had to come back and say this. I was one of the original 500 who ordered the Apex back a month ago, and tbh I was very optimistic to hop into the world of some of my favorite high end RUclipsrs I revere. But 2 days ago after wondering when I might actually receive my order I reached out and emailed Support to get some answers. I canceled my order and got a refund because I was told all Apex orders were halted up until "the end of Feb" due to firmware issues with Sony bodies. Now I'm tempted to finally pull the trigger and getting the S5IIX I've always wanted and picking up a used Remus lens instead. I saw this video when you first released it and remembered it so clear once I got that response from their support. I'm so eager to jump into the Anamorphic world but I had to return to leave this comment.

    • @EricShaquille

      I appreciate that! Yeah, I've seen people who weren't part of the marketing using the lenses and they really don't work properly. Especially on the FX30 which is what you would assume the lenses were made for. Constantly pulsing and motors being insanely loud. If you paid attention to the roll out and release, it seemed pretty obvious they were just rushing these out to compete with sirui. The S5iix and a Remus is the most flexible and best value combo out there right now(IMO). It has a few issues (S5iix: Rolling Shutter and aliasing, Remus: Overcompression and Chromatic Aberation) but that's the combo I would go with, especially on the used market. Go for it!

    • @EricShaquille
      @EricShaquille 11 дней назад

      I actually don't like investing in mirrorless mount lenses because then if you ever decide to upgrade or change camera systems, you can't take your lenses with you. The Great Joy L- Mount lenses are pretty good(and way cheaper now than when they came out) if you're dead set on sticking with L Mount. But if I was in your situation I'd buy an adapter and then probably go for the Remus Lenses. The B set is definitely cleaner than the A set but still have more than enough character(a little too much character for some projects) For what it's worth I use anamorphic adapters but they're a bit more complicated to use.

    I think half of your wish list is targeting the wrong demographic. In my opinion the next pocket camera needs to either be a successor to the pocket 4k or a Pyxis micro that is the spiritual successor to the BMMCC, but with the pyxis monitor for control. I personally think either an MFT or Super35 sensor is still viable so long as focal reducers exist, but that would require the mount to be either MFT or L, or heaven forbid swappable MFT and L. To me the camera with the monitor should cost no more than $1500. After that, all other requests would be advance iterations that cost more, but the pocket 4k is getting long in the tooth, and really needs a tiny box variant more than anything.

    As of Q1 2025, there's little reason to use a BMPCC except for the built-in ND. Because the Nikon Z6 III can do almost everything BMPCC 6K can do, except it's full frame and with fast and reliable subject detection autofocus. I think you'll be waiting at least 4 years to catch up with the Nikon's autofocus, and that's a best case, optimistic scenario even if Blackmagic put a big investment into autofocus. Take your pick, built in ND or Autofocus.

    The frame skip is from p24 upsampled to p30. It's very noticeable in panning shots, you can't unsee it after you've seen it. It's actually a RUclips compression problems and I try to tell people about it but they still think you need to shoot YT videos in p24. The Blazar Apex lens looks better when shot on full frame with 1.1x crop. There is more barrel distortion and anamorphic character. For best results you can use a Sony A7C II with that new AI chip in APS-C model clear image zoomed all the way in.

    This was really helpful Eric. The way you broke down your rig was super helpful and made me aware of some areas I should proceed with caution. I'm contemplating getting a Pyxis to supplement my BMCC and UMP setups. I love my camera gear and am guilty of sometimes buying the slightly "cooler" version of something to share and show to my filmmaker friends. A few months ago, I had to finally admit that i'm a camwh*re.

      Haha. I've spent the last 3 years fighting the urge buy an FX3 like all the other cool kids on here, so I get it.

      @@EricShaquille I wouldn't recommend it. Sony continues to take the trend of re-releasing rehoused repackaged old tech to the max out of any brand. I own the FX3 and A7s3 and they're honestly the most overhyped cameras ever. I mean don't get me wrong, they are reliable do what I need them to (if you don't install the camera bricking dogshit software updates that is). But they don't do open gate and no internal raw of any flavor, which is kind of a joke in 2025. Also keep in mind the supposed low light DR benefits come solely from the fact that sony's software bakes in noise reduction at the higher base iso.

      Not to mention, their dogshit customer service even when the problem is directly their fault(go on the subreddits you'll see countless horror stories of bricked cameras after updating and even more people refraining from updating due to not wanting to risk their livelihood including myself) All these frustrations combined have caused me to never want to buy another sony camera ever again

      GODDAMN! Haha. I get it. I've just been frustrated with the moire popping up on my s5ii and I'm afraid it's going to ruin important shoots in the future, and then I take into account that I'm usually handheld with it(since it's so small) I get annoyed seeing the rolling shutter pop up.(super noticeable in Open gate with my Aivascope). My "justification" would be that there's no crop at higher frame rates, the sensor speed is blazing fast for a full frame sensor, and the low light has all my "unpredictable" event/documentary low light shots. It's obviously good enough as a current A cam and would make a fantastic B cam down the line... But then I look at the price and it's limitations that you mentioned and I NOPE out.
