    I JUST DISCOVERED SOMETHING……but first…great video Caleb, many thanks. I’ve had my S5ii since release and absolutely love it. A few weeks ago I put on a 1/8 pro mist filter…..and the autofocus became less reliable. I just now took it off and found it back to its original reliability. Took me a few weeks to realize the un-reliability started the moment I put on the pro-mist. Just sharing my experience with everyone.

    luckily DaVinci Resolve super scale solves what i thought was gonna be a slight problem when it was time to shoot some slow motion. other than that they need to send out a stack of stickers to people who have proof of purchase for that top dial which is a headache at night.

    Yeah absolutely agree (on the S5ii for 6+ months), would absolutely LOVE to see an FX3 type body that is video centric! An in between of the S5iiX and the BS1H

  • @EmeraldAudiovisual
    @EmeraldAudiovisual Год назад +4

    The successor of the S1H will likely have 4k120 and a more cinema style body would be the successor of the BS1H, so I would think we'll see those come down the line, maybe next year. But Panasonic really nailed it in nearly every department with the S5 II X. One short coming, that only one camera in this segment doesn't have is cropped 4k60. The Canon EOS R6 Mk II is uncropped in 4k60. All the other FF cameras, like for example the Sony A7IV are also cropped in 4k60.
    It took my camera dealer until a week ago to finally get me my S5 II X !! I've no idea, why it took them so long to get stock. I had it pre-ordered since the launch of the S5. But what a blast. Updated my Video Assist 5" 12G today and having BRAW on both the GH6 and the S5 II X is fantastic.

    There are some things, I really miss on my S5IIX:
    - no tally light function for the light on top
    - no 4k 60p with full frame
    - rec signal sound stops working when external display is attached
    - you cant choose a different resolution for hdmi output as the one recorded
    - when you use an external mic, theres a electric sound clicking in the noise floor, making it nearly unuseable
    But overall a great camera and i love using it :)

    Hey Caleb, question on the S5IIX. Not sure if you've addressed this yet. The one thing I missed before ordering this camera was finding out it doesn't have an optical low pass filter, which means more moire. Have you found this to be an issue filming with the S5IIX, and if so, how have you worked around it?

    • @CalebHoover
      @CalebHoover  Год назад +1

      @@CalebHoover no, that's good information! I asked a couple creators. Some haven't seemed to run into it, others for sure. Will be curious to experiment with it myself. I previously shot on the S1H, which does have the optical low pass filter, and even that in certain scenarios would get some moire. So I'm curious to see what happens with the S5IIx. Where have you noticed the moire the most in your shooting applications?

    I completely agree on wanting 4k120p, would love to have it but like you said can live without it! I know it's also a long shot but if Lumix ends up making a cinema line camera with all these features I'd LOVE to have built-in ND's I think that's the only thing I miss from my C100 and would just be a cherry on top. Also small thing, I'd love to be able to tap to lock a subject using AF, I've never had this on a camera but I've seen some Sony cameras do it and looks very useful!

    I have both of FX3 and S5iix. The body of FX3 is definitely ugly in my opinion. Besides it has no viewfinder which causes problems when the weather is sunny (so most of the time you have this problem).
    Thus I think that S5iix is the best compromise between photo and video at present days.

    Hey, something I very concerned of because I have burned money with the S1 which runs through the batterys extremely fast btw is that youre camera seems to whobble a lot in the test footage that you have shown. I hoped they have fixed it but from the pictures i have seen here I can tell that they have not. I would than rather go for sony with a weaker stabilizer or r5c with the lens stabilizer of the 24-70, because this makes no sense.

  • @jayforcinema

    I would truly have appreciated it if Lumix could have added one CFExpress/XQD slot in the S5 II X. For me the risk of any corrupted files through SSD's points of connection is a big headache and not one I would like to adventure. This is one of the best features in the Lumix S1 (which cannot make use of the higher data rates supported by the CFExpress, of course). CFExpress would allow internal Prores HQ, my favourite codec.
    But yeah. I'm just holding on to the S1 till Lumix comes out with a true replacement to the S1H with the 4K 120 and 4K60 you mentioned. I don't need 8K, the 6K open gate is enough, but I wish that was also 422 10 bit. Let's see what Lumix makes, maybe a Full frame successor to the EVA-1 with internal ND, IBIS and all the pro goodies. I would personally love a Canon C70 style body, which is my favourite hybrid camera ergonomically, but let's see what actually happens. Thanks for the video Caleb!

    One thing you didn't mention - may be not a problem for you - is the grey indications on buttons. I do really hate that especially when shooting in low lights... Could have simply blackened out the Lumix logo in camera front to make it different from the S5ii but leave the rest in white... Still thinking of applying some small white or yellow stickers to some of the most used functions. To me, this is a real fail. For the rest, the camera is just superb despite the shortcomings you mentioned.

      I've got a video on my channel about this, working on a more in-depth comparison but busy life. Essentially, yes. The S5ii/X have the full BRAW implementation, unlike the previous S series bodies - with the only exception of the ISO slider, but that doesn't matter as you have the exposure slider which mathematically does the same thing.

    - L- Mount EVA 2 with a GOOD monitoring, FHD480fps, 4K180, PhDAF, variable sensor zoom like the jvc ls300 does
    - a few updated box cameras with a built in monitor
    alternatively small camcorder shaped ones would be neat in some circumstances
    - two hybrids: G9ii and a S5iiR (a higher res version)
    and finally a GM 5 ii to always have with me

    Bought mine on Amazon, got the box, it looked like it was an open box. The Camera looked new, so i figured eh what the heck, who cares. First day i go to try it out around the lake i live, which is walking just walking around it, i realized that the autofocus was not working good. It was sunsetting, still light, but the camera was having a hard time focusing, got some meh pictures. Came home, wasn't impressed with the pictures and videos much. I decided to try it indoors! I said, let me try the best setting, switched to VLOG, M exposure and started recording. First thing i noticed is, my monitor, there was these thick black lines going from bottom of the screen to the top, and bury! I could not see a thing, other than in between the lines, blurry view. I tried recording, i put it on my computer, the video still had those horizontal lines! Seems like i got a damaged camera! I'm returning it tomorrow. I still hope to get this one day, maybe buy it in the store. Idk, sometimes i think these deliveries from amazon, think they're handling potatoes in their boxes. Anyway, disappointed i have to return it, was expecting to get blown away from quality...
