  • Panasonic S1H 1 Year Review. Should you buy the Panasonic S1H in 2021? In my opinion, it is definitely a camera that will stand the test of time for awhile. It is packed with not only features that a beginning needs, but also someone who needs features in a more professional production environment.

    Thought I'd put this out there since I'm getting comments. So I know the S5 has an articulating screen like the S1H. What's different is the S1H can tilt without flipping out the screen "flippy tilty screen". See 8:10. Also I wasn't aware because I don't own the S5, but confirmed on the website that Panasonic released a firmware update giving the S5 DCI 4k. Either camera is still great!

    I’ve had my S1H for a few months now and have been nothing but impressed. I shot a short doc this summer in Portugal in 38 Celsius temperatures with no issues with overheating. Unlike myself who was so hot, especially wearing a mask for 8 hours! An all round great camera, paired with Sigma glass - 35mm prime and the 24-70mm. Great results and amazing colours! I love this camera and have worked with Panasonic for the last 5 years. Having first the GH4 and then GH5. I still have all three, the GH5 being an amazing B camera. The GH4 is my zoom / meeting webcam. All great gear IMO. Keep up the content Dustin!

    Very instructive. Getting the s5 at some point, S1H a bit too heavy. And expensive. But looks like the s5 is a mini-s1h. Well was either s5 or x-t4. Both great colours, 4k60p, log footage, etc. Missing the 5.9k footage, although I guess that comes with the RAW recording. For home use, 4k uhd in 10 bit 4:2:2 once uploaded to youtube looks good enough. From for example the mavic 2 pro. Don't have a 10-bit monitor here either, or 8k monitor, and neither do most folks watching. For now think uhd 60p looks better than uhd 30p. But dynamic range trumps all those things. Bigger sensor, better colour, better dynamic range. Like an Alexa vs a cheap camera with 1/4" sensor. So think the s5 with same sensor as s1h looks like a good buy. Just some thoughts there...

  • @rokah1391
    @rokah1391 3 года назад +3

    Thats my concern , i wanted to buy S1H with my friend , but he went for sony A7 III . Cuz s1H was too expensive and AS7s3 wasnt released . If we waited we would have go for S5 also . BUt main concern is that i have GH5 . and gh5 is just the best run and gun video camera for the past 4 years . And today there is so much afforadable good lenses .
    For example i have 25 0.95 and 17 0.95 wich are insane on gh5 . I also bought SLR 8 MM f4 . Wich is like 160 $ i was like okay when i bought it . Ended up using it like 60 % of time specially for parkour freerun video . (wide angle without distortion) for the price it was a nobrainer.
    I had the 16-35 f2.8 II , wich is expensive and okay but i was using it to shot my "location shout only" . Then i had 18-35 sigma (wich is the best lens on gh5 but way too big with the ring adapater) .
    Now i mostly use a combo of my 17 0.95 / 35 mm f1.4 (sigma art ) and 50 sigma Art and if i need i use my FD 135 mm f3.5 (handheld its a perfect vintage lenses that give you cinematic feel for 50 $) .
    and i know that if i switch on S5 (ill get basicly a FF GH5 with upgraded features , but not the lenses that comes with and from my experience , i prefer to have good characteristic lenses than a good better body ) . And if you shoot food video with 25 0.95 etc you can shoot handheld random things and its turns absolutly magical !
    But S1H has a good vibe , if only S5 has more affordable better line up lense i might think of switching despite there is gh6 on the line .

      The Voigtlander lenses turn the GH cameras into beasts. They have vintage character with modern convenience. The equivalent lenses for the S1/H/5 would be something like the 35mm f1.4, 50mm f1.4 and 85mm f1.4 in Canon FD, Contax Zeiss or Leica R. Not cheap. Older lenses like SMC Super Takumar, Pentax M SMC or Minolta Rokkor may not have the f1.4 aperture, or not the image quality of the Voigtlanders. The Voigtlander 42.5mm is remarkable in its rendering. These lenses make me feel confident in m43 film making's future.

    I've a question for you...Can you control the focus of the Sigma 35mm F1.4 with the focus wheel of the Ronin S? (without the follow focus, to keep it lighter).
    By the way...I've used S1/S1H and the S5...the S5 is a nice, lightweight and travel friendly camera, but I prefer way more the S1/S1H because of the unlimited recording in 4K 10bits.

    It’s also worth noting that it’s always a good idea just to ask camera stores if they can do a better price. If you’re a small business or freelancer and especially if you’re buying it with a lens or other extra’s you can get pretty big discounts. I was able to get almost 1000 euros off of retail, making it a better choice than the S5 for me personally.

    Did you put the new firmware on your S1H that came out around Thanksgiving? The autofocus issues were fixed. It's actually super accurate when using the eye tracking, so much so that I don't even use the manual focus wheel while using it on a Ronin S because the autofocus now is so good, even when shooting at 6K. Before the firmware update however it was pretty terrible.

Auto focus before the update (when using it on a gimbal) would often go searching and focus on stuff insanely far away, completely bokeh'ing out the actual subject. haha. Using it back then was playing with fire that almost always burnt you. Now it's very trustworthy. I've even used the Lumix 2.8 70-200 on the Ronin S at 200 (it works if the gimbal is REALLY balanced, but your arms will hate you) and even at 200 it worked great from a long distance. My other S1H uses a Lumix 2.8 24-70 and no problems with that on the gimbal either.

      @@DustinArmstrongPro I concur with your appraisal. Everything points to the S1H as the camera I should really be getting. In so many ways there are unique features and film maker creature comforts on the S1H which just are not on the other Hybrid shooting solutions like the Sony A7III, or the Sigma FP (Which is another full frame 24 Megapixel camera I have been considering), but it lacks the codecs and the audio interface possibilities the S1H has. To my knowledge, the S1H is the only Hybrid Mirrorless solution offering the possibility of shooting with 96KHz 24 Bit audio (Via add on Audio Interface accessory box). For my way of shooting, the S1H checks all the boxes but one- No 8K capability. Netflix has added the S1H to its approved cameras for production list. (This pulls some weight with my clients, BTW).

      The A7sIII is a different story compared to the A7III. The A7sIII handled heat WAY better and I don’t think I’d worry about overheating unless you shoot a ton of 4K 120. The S1H though, haven’t had it overheat once and it literally has a fan built in to prevent overheating so I wouldn’t worry

    Hi Dustin, thanks for this great video and your time you spent with reviewing this beast after one year of use.
    I bought my S1H last year, following your and a few others‘ positive recommendations, and I am still more than happy with it. Even the AF became much better with the latest firmware update.
    Colors of the S1H are fantastic and ready to use when shooting in Cinelike profiles (V or D), and in V-Log you get a huge grading headroom.
    With a very well made Novoflex adapter I can even reuse some of my full frame lenses for my Nikon, such as the Sigma Sports 120-300mm f2.8 which is great for animals and birds when using it on a fluid head and attaching an JTZ manual follow focus (the best you can get for under 500 €). The built-in EVF is referred to be one of the best in the market which I can only confirm. And, low light is great on this camera, too. The S1H with the Panasonic 16-35mm f4 even works on my Weebill S (counterweight needed, and w/o the wireless transmitter or follow focus), but it‘s quite heavy to carry around.
    AND NOW SOME OF YOU MAY WANT TO CALL ME CRAZY:
    Would I buy the S1H again today? Hm, probably I would go into a very different direction as a video amateur. I could imagine going for an iPhone 12 Plus Pro, using FilmicPro to unlock the iPhones 10Bit video capabilities. The paid version of FilmicPro provides a Log profile which is great for grading and even works with the ACES color space, delivering awesome colors (I tested this with my iPhone 8). Using a gimbal, and attaching a lens case and a nice anamorphic lens provide the capability to shoot very nice footage that looks awesome, and AF is always (!) in focus.
    So, for a pro I would always recommend the S1H! Considering the iPhone 12 as the b-camera of choice might be worth to think about. You can make the colors from both cameras look very similar using ACES Colorspace (or the new Davinci Resolve wide gamut space).

    If you pick up and shake your s1h, in various directions, with the power on, but no lens attached, do you hear anything? Do you hear / feel sounds of parts gently shifting or any rattling noises or is it dead quiet? I’m asking, because you have one and I recently dropped my padded camera bag from about three feet and I’m trying to figure out if the noise I’m hearing was present before the fall. In other words, that it’s normal. My camera functions perfectly fine and the fall wasn’t super hard, but still, would like to hear from a real user. Thanks for any and all help!

    Suggestion: Don't overuse LUTs. It looks weird. Like the blacks and mids are too crushed. I'm referring to your studio shot. I think this is a common mistake people make. Pushing LUTs and color grading in general further than it should be. I used to do it.

      @@DustinArmstrongPro I just looked again, and I still have the same reaction. Look at your t-shirt. 50% of it there is hardly any detail in it, like totally black. And your arm hair looks too crushed in the mids. Most times this is from people overusing LUTs, but it can also be from just pushing blacks, mids, and even saturation too much. It could be youtube compression which is awful, to begin with. Maybe I am used to looking at blacks that are lifted more. But the truth is nothing is ever totally black in film. That was a thing in video. Maybe you set your shadow curves to a threshold and then pushed them too much on another layer? Anyway, just my two cents. If you're happy with it, ignore what I say and you right be right, my eyes may be playing tricks on me.

    • @DustinArmstrongPro
      @DustinArmstrongPro  3 года назад

      I have to disagree on the "nothing in film is totally black". Color is also subjective. There's guidelines, but no wrong or right way to do things. Sure if it looks like crap, then something should probably be changed, but I'm barely doing anything. All I did was bump my shadows by 15 and highlights by 50 and adding a color selector and made my skin a little closer to my actual skin color since that basement reflects an orangish color from my lights bouncing everywhere. That's it. 0 saturation adjustments.
