Hit me with that beautiful purple knowledge! Great video brotha!
Just saw your review on the s5 👌🏽 great review
Beautiful purple knowledge! 😂😂🤣🤣
PURPLE KNOWLEDGE
On point 👌🏾
I love the 20-60mm focal range of the kit lens. Other manufactures should definitely adopt this instead of using 28mm at the wide end.
Could be a bit wider, but loving it as well. Just a bit wider! For vlogging. And getting on the damn videomicro is a pain. Ignored that last trip, ruined 80% of my footage with wind noise. Oh well know next time, always external mic and dead cat.
Great stuff as always. Man! Keeping up with these new cameras is cray!!
It's ridiculous isn't it
Next intro: I'm Gerald Undone and I've gone and Done Ungerald myself.
Great video as always. You always tests the features that are rarely mentioned in others' videos. Which is why I love your videos so much.
I just shot a feature film with an open box deal, 1,200 bucks, S5. The only strange thing about this camera is what you get for the price. I shot into the Ninja V, so I was getting 422, 12 bit, 5.9k RAW...at FULL frame. I was a big fan of GH4 and 5's, loved them, but it has to be said, comparing M4/3rds to Full frame is like comparing poetry to the phone book. Put good glass on this little baby and you will have to spend 70k on an Alexa to see any difference, ...(oh, the color science on this and the S1H comes from the Alexa, my bad.) For a filmmaker, unless you need a global shutter for action sequences, I can't see why you would need any other camera. I am now editing the film. It is a piece of crap, but...it looks fecking wonderful!
What an awesome looking camera save for the autofocus. Their bizarre insistence with sticking with contrast AF is like Sony's previous bizarre insistence with non-flippy screens.
I would hold on to that statement until they release the A7IV. I‘m not fully convinced yet that it will come with a flip out screen
Great Review Thank you.
when I first found out about this channel you quickly became my NEW fav and it's been so long and you still are.
13:51 Gerald at peak, Bruce Banner power.
MAKE. ART. NOW. Fun fact: his t-shirts are actually white, he just counters his green-ness with purple overcorrection.
Bahaha! 🤓🙏💜
This is brilliant but Ola Englund needs to sort his "Will It Chug" Playlist! 😂😂😂😂😂
Pls, no! I would have never found that gem otherwise xD
@@DerAykac or maybe that was the goal all along! 🤣🤣
😂🤘
All these random issues with autofocus, pricing, features compared to their other cameras etc, made me think that Panasonic guys are very good at what they do, while somehow having no actual idea about what exactly they do and why they are doing it.
I have used Panasonic for years and this is the most true statement one can say.
i think their cinema department is like an older mean brother, throwing scrapes down to the photo/hybrid line. they doing the best they can with what they got hahaha
Ahah pretty much. Imagine if they all called a 1-year truce and all shared notes and patents, all cameras would stop being so weirdly handicapped in this era of the supermirrorless.
Just let me dream
I think engineers still have quite some influence at Panasonic instead of managers with only "management skills" or the marketing department. I think we should be gratefull for that.
Video autofocus never an issue for me, as I'm old-school video guy. All my GH series cameras serve/served my needs brilliantly.
finally a channel that uses the metric system, i love you Geral
I’ve been a professional videographer for over 10 years. I can count on one hand how many times I’ve filmed using autofocus. Yes it’s nice to have but judging from the comments, everyone is a vlogger and not a commercial videographer. This looks like a lovely little camera but I’m still leaning towards the S1H for my GH5s upgrade.
It helps if you’re using a gimbal or ronin but you’re right, manual focus is a dying art
That’s nice, but try using a camera with really solid tracking and AF, you don’t know how much you’re missing until you use it. If you’re using a gh5s of course you’re not going to use AF it’s shit. I never used af on my lumix g7, but I have a Sony now, and I don’t manual focus at all. Why worry about on the fundamentals and if it’s focused, when I can focus on angles, lighting and story? I get it “manual focus takes more skill” but your client doesn’t care, and neither should you. Easier is better, because you can focus on things that matter more. You sound like people who say 4K doesn’t matter and that you should get it right in camera and shoot JPEG.
Daaaaamn. Finaly someone who doesn't give a shit about autofocus and someone who knows what is gh5s and uses it. Thank you sir.
Except vloger who must have autofocus, people would be surprise how cool is manual focus and easy to use, and not hard to learn.
Panasonic users: AF are for Vloggers
Me: But I can turn off the AF if I want to use Manual in any cameras, what is the point?
End of the day it is nice to have both AF + MF functionality against one.
I have never used auto focus since I started shooting in 2015. so everytime people make a fuss about how bad it is I am always so unbothered lol this camera is perfect
First link I clicked after the announcement. You're my guy, Gerald! ;)
Thank you. Your info is invaluable and your unique delivery is attention-grabbing. I purchased this camers kit for work and so far am loving it. Yes video focus is a thing but if you shoot content that's is less dynamic it's a great kit.
the correct and only review you need on youtube HANDS DOWN
Gerald - You ALWAYS ALWAYS impress with something new and all things great - KNOWLEDGE 👍🏻
Gerald Undone is the only review I need! Always great and on point.
I’m so proud of you.Even when I think of something I’ll still looking for your videos….they’re so valuable and I hope that you understand that and keep going,at least for the poor and hobbyists like me.A misstep and we’re done.Thank you Gerald for everything you are.
Amazing content as always! By far my fav RUclipsr
I think this is the only channel on youtube providing actual useful knowledge. Thanks Gerald.
A fantastic honest review. Full of useful information, be it autofocus or stability etc. Thanks so much.
Amazingly comprehensive review. Thank you.
The most detailed indication so far, so helpful, thx a lot~
This was great!
Very well done, detailed, fast paced and most importantly unbiased review. 👏👏👏
Excellent review Gerald. Thanks.
got this camera after your review. thanks for the in depth view
Thank you for your fantastic reviews. Very helpful :-)
Thank you so much for this in thorough review
Dude your knowledge and delivery is 100% on point, thanks so much!
Great video mate as always!
Only review I was waiting for :)
Great in-depth review again full of practical info, I'm considering this camera as my s1h with a big honking lens is so heavy I barely use it for travel stuff or on gimbals. I like and appreciate Panasonic for consistently including features that canon and sony leave off their cameras in the same price range but include for $2-12k more. I'm so sick of having to sell cameras every year to avoid losing a ton of money and these reviews really help my decision-making process. I don't really want more than 6k but the new fuji with the medium format sensor is compelling, hope you get one of those to review!
Best camera reviews by far, thanks!
"I'm Gerold Undone, and you will respect my AUTHORITAH."
😂😂😂
Gerald Undone is the one of best gear review channel you can trust!!! Nice review again, Thanks Gerald!!!
Appreciate the work and review
Thanks for the video. you are great as always.
Really nice review! Thanks for that
Gerald is the best reviewer i have ever seen. honest , humorous,technical,knowledgeable..... not like anybody else. the only we treat respectfully
Excellent review as always, hitting the little nitty gritty details that matter 👍👍👍
Best review, so complete (as usual)
Thank you for sharing it in detail 🙏
Again watching this instead of the actual announcement. you rock Gerald
I second that
That was one awesome review dude
Like always, great no-nonsense review with real-life value for me. Thank you.
Pleasure to listen to someone with your amazing knowledge. Thankyou.
Gerald, you are so freakin smart!!! Did you do something in your past that keep NASA from recruiting you 😊. Your integrity, honestly and professionalisms are not going unnoticed. Thank you 🙏🏿
being Canadian could be a part of it 😅
thanks, thorough and thoughtful review
Thanks for your review. As an S1 owner I have to say I still prefer it for video, I am sure others will go crazy for the RAW but all I care about is good 422. Amazing to see this handle heat so well beyond what it is rated compared to recent canon models, and can't wait for the new AF updates to backport to my S1. I think this thing will be dope for someone who hasnt bought into l mount yet and wants to jump in or as a b cam to someone with an s1h
I'd be tempted by the s5 but currently there's a deal where I can buy the s1 for £300 less than the s5. No brainer.
SFV carries the fgc.
Image quality out of the s5 is hands down better than the s1. Having worked with both on projects there’s really no comparison
@@DanielTroyer anything you prefer about the S1? Or S5 all the way??
@@carter_is_here S5 feels better in the hands, has more intuitive designs, cleaner high speed frame rates, and is much more functional for filmmaking in my opinion.
Great review, as always
Outstanding review, thanks. I'm still clinging to my MFT kit. I can see where the market is going though.
Gerald you are a top the range you tuber Vlogger, loving your channel more and more. We can just trust what you say, you’re the real thing. Thanks.
AMAZING review!
I had to look up what the “My name Jeff” was from, but what a delivery from Gerald! 😂
Didn't find it...
Clue please ?
@@guillaumemarrou6415 it's from 22 jump street
Really?!!!
Great video, informative and well done thank you
Great, informative video!
Great review thank you.
Hay, I am a new sub and I really enjoyed this video. Keep doing awsome stuff man.
Cheers
Great review. Far better than some others.
Great video!xD Thanks for all the information~ 💚
thanks for the
video
This is the best review I've seen so far . As a full manual focus videographer this is the best camera for me. I am buying one the decision is made. I don't even know the auto focus settings on any camera I've ever owned lol
dude I don't know how many times I've rewatched this video. looking forward to what's coming up next year!
Are you excited yet? S5ii✨
Nicely done!
Thanks for always giving us a honest opinion and review. I really hope that Panasonic does a firmware update on the S1 to help the autofocus get better and really this camera as well.
I just ordered a S1r yet haven't received it. Did they do a firmware update to improve the af issues that are bespoken everywhere?
Fantastic review
You helped me solve many questions. Thank you very much! This video like all the other videos on your channel is very explanatory and detailed. I would like to ask you if you will do an additional review for the same camera but with the new update in firmaware for autofocus, 6k ProRes Raw, shutter angle etc?
🙏🏽 pure knowledge delivered with expertise
Indeed - one of the few things that can never be fixed in post (except by cutting), is focus. So anyone that doesn't focus old school manual, runs the risk of not documenting whatever they are filming. My thoughts much like with the Canon R5 - if you are professional and it takes two cameras to feel secure about using professionally - they need to be cheap enough to warrant buying two. R5, you need two to continue shooting, by switching them out. And with this camera, apparently you need two to be running simultaneously, so that you have something to cut to when the focus goes soft.
Good review, Gerald. At some point, with my mountain of old cameras ( GH4, A7s, A6300, Canon EX350 etc. ) I will eventually be replacing them, and start my personal museum. Having your videos on here is a resource for me to make as good a decision as possible.This is priceless. Thank you for that.
Good review focusing on the video part of the camera.
nice video, helps me decide alot!
Best in-depth tech reviewer on RUclips
great vid and review as always...love the running towards the camera 👍 😂😂. Panasonic...laser focus needed on auto focus NOW!
When walking you could always switch to manual focus. I would use manual focus in a lot of situations and actually prefer the extra control. In most situations there is a work around for the autofocus limitations. There really isn't anything else full frame at the price point with it's video features. If you buy an external recorder then the whole package is still a fantastic deal imo.
I love how easy It is yo go between manual and auto. One thumb movement. Ontop of multiple multi function buttons
I keep dreaming of a Pana with Canon DPAF... that would be...
then we would REALLY lay down the Canon CRIPPLE HAMMER,with a 3550 crop..
Couldn't agree more!
BRUH, I´ve never saw a video from this channel, but as soon as I saw that Intro, I subscribed inmediately... Nice Guy, Awesome channel :)
Now, I will watch this review once again😁
No Bs, all important information. Ty!
Perfect, thank you.
dope review
Great video, will you be testing the 6k raw and the other things added in the new update. To see how much better it is now... Keep up the great work...
Excellent work as always! But...was that a shot of snow with the streetlight?! In August?!
I’m going to watch the DpReview video too, but this is really the only video I need to see about this camera.
Great review Gerald thanks. I thought this might be the reason to move from my G9 to full frame. I’m not convinced though and will wait and see.
Awesome review. You're the best and most exhaustive (and exhausting technical) reviewer EVER! You just need to talk faster---just a suggestion.
But, please, let me give you a BIG thanks for giving us poor, neglected fully manual, 3rd party, non-electronic linear focus lens video shooters just a few seconds of your review by mentioning that the S5 does not immediately KILL focus peaking once you hit record--like the S1 did. For me it was a deal breaker!
Sadly, Panasonic still does not provide the ability to punch in to check focus during recording (like the Sony and Fuji), but still that's an enormous help just not to lose the peaking. In addition, the coming DCI firmware update makes this a formidable video machine---the FF GH5 so many of us wanted----with better color than Sony.
This camera may be the best feature set for the price ever!
Thank you so much!!
Oh man I really hope they have a shutter angle firmware upgrade for the s1 as well. That would be amazing.
Great video! I'd like to have learned about the S5's anamorphic capabilities.
Thanks bro, nice video!
Am i the only person that loves the intro “lets get undone” 😁 cant wait for his review on the RED komodo 6k cause i know hes going to tell the truth that we arnt getting
Do we know he's getting hold of a Komodo, or is that a hope?
@@raksh9 It would be insane if he didn't. A bit more than an a7s3 or an r5 and you get an effing red camera with a global shutter? wew lad
@@TripleVR At the moment, the only Komodos in the wild are the preordered beta versions which have been a target of much derision. The Komodo isn't going to hit the shelves for a little while yet. Gerald doesn't seem to have the connections with RED that would allow him to get a review copy, so he would either have to borrow a beta version from someone, or wait until they are available from a rental house.
Nice work
Great review! One more in-depth than others I've seen. I think this would be the perfect Film Student/Indy Camera. With the price point over the SONY a7S III making all these 'higher end' functions available at a lower price point... and with waveforms, V-log, Anamorphic(?!) + Timecode... I feel this is the perfect small indy film camera. The in body stabilization is good enough... Film students need to learn how to use cameras without image stabilization (using traditional rigs, tripods and steadycams) and the poor auto-focus only reinforces that a student must learn the skills of manual rack focusing. Thanks! Camera bought!
This is making me wanna wait for the Sony A74 all I need is 10bit 4K 60fps and 26MP for photography and 13 stops DR! Perfect hybrid camera right there. Canon R6 could have done this smh I think Sony will perfect it
Any updates? The a7iv has eye AF issues and also crippled the a7iv.
I’m tempted just for a 20-60 lens - such a useful range
LOVE the ergos, looks, and especially ibis in lumix cameras. Wish they would get their AF up to par and make a photo centered camera like the sony R series. I'd switch in a heartbeat.
LOL the intro is so perfect I had to restart the video
Such a beautiful looking camera
Does the S5 have the '4K Live Cropping' and 'Focus Transition' features from the GH5? Great review as always!
