Last month I got S5iiX with 35, 50, & 85mm f/1.8 for just under 2500 with tax from B&H this thing is bonkers.
Just a side note. All L Mount lenses are considered first party native lenses.
Yes, thanks for correcting this!
Since Firmware 3.0 this camera is like a new version. Much better.
I'd love to know how you set up your camera for a wedding. Great work!
I did the other way, sold my Z7II and bought S1R and some lenses... What SDCard brand are you using? I have the firmware 1.9 on S1R and never froze on me... Can you share in what situation? I have a Leica SL and it is very good... No stabilization
Have you reset the camera (master reset)? I am very curious...
If you’re using single point auto focus, why would the z7ii be worse also has single point that you can move from edge to edge.
Dang…just bought a S5iiX and I’m wondering if I made a mistake. The lack of reliability is a huge concern for me.
We still shoot with it every day and have no issues on the video end of things!
Yes , this freezing drives me crazy lol . But overall S5II is a great hybrid camera if you can customize this camera for yourself and spend some time learning how to focus ( yes , AF in video its still not as reliable as Sony/Canon , but it works just fine for almost every situation )
Got 2 cameras with 50,85,20-60 and Sigma 35 art for < 5k$ . Now thinking to sell my Sony a7IV ,cuz I don't need it anymore
Glad I'm not the only one experiencing the freezing!
@@fortemke yes , very first time was during the ceremony glad I had second camera with me , lol . BTW turning off /on and replacing the battery did help
Those freezing magicly gone on my camera after last two firmware updates. Also i did full reset to factory settings.
How's the autofocus with the sigma 35mm ?

Ik u seem like a legit dude, not many around , so u might be the right person to ask this.
I'm currently shooting M43 [Portraits] and I use the 85mm FF equivalent 90% of the time so there is that. I currently own the Nocticron f1.2 which is more than enough fore me in terms of separation and sharpness, I'm starting to make money with my photography and people are happy with the results so far, so I am.
That being said, I'm being forced to upgrade the body and the G9II was the obvious choice but it's hard to not consider the S5II even tho I hate the S85 f1.8 .
Is there really a reason to go FF for portraits? I'm not so convinced about the lens selection, just as u said, on the other hand on M43 I never go very wide, 50mm equivalent at best , and there is plenty of decent glass there , am I compromising too much just because the look of one lens by staying in M43?
Just for more context I've been editing wedding for other photographers who shoot FF with top nodge glass and I'm not really feeling that I'm missing that much, also the exotic lenses from FF are out of range right now and it's kinda silly to make the "move". But then, the G9II costs the same as the S5II...... and is the same size .
What do u think? Am I focusing too much on the rendering of this one lens? I'm really hating this as I'm trying to not put too much emphasis on gear, but then I realize that the only thing that is keeping me happy in this system is a lens, so it's kinda ironic
The only time folks move from m'4/3 & apsc to FF & then back again is the size & weight penalties..otherwise there are many benefits to larger sensors. Buy FF & forget smaller sensors, unless you cannot handle or want size & weight. Prices are not very different on many models.
Have you tried different SD cards to see if that makes a difference with the freezing issue? I've had my Olympus M1iii freeze on me a couple of times until finally there was an error message regarding the second SD card. After not using it anymore, I haven't had any more issues so far *knock on wood*.
I have not experimented much with this, but that is a really good thought. It wouldn't surprise me if this was the issue!
Did you not like the sigma 35mm f1.4 dg dn? I just ordered the s5ii and was considering that lens
how about the sigma 35 1.2 dg dn
I have this Sigma 35 1.4 for L mount . Focus is ok , but slower than Lumix 50 1.8, struggles more at the dark conditions
The autofocus seemed very slow to me!
+1 from me for trying to be different. Aren't you curious about what Lumix is coming up with as a flagship photo camera?
If they come out with a new flagship photo centric camera to replace the S1r, I will be taking a very serious look. If they updated the S1r with the S5ii autofocus capabilities and grain management, the camera would be a beast!
@@fortemke got it. to me it's 4k 120 no crop
CF express cards have become cheaper to use than SD cards. Just compare the price of a quality 256 SD card to a 256 CF express card.
'Promo sm'
S5II owner here: good luck with moving subjects and incredible amount of false positives.
pure panasonic propaganda ...new ambassador )) Autofocus is just PANASANTIC ) joke serious , moving targets reliability TOTAL BIAS ! Yes IS perfect , yes open gate perfect , but claiming that autofocus for moving targets is perfect can claim only panasonic sales director ....this camera isnt for events photography at all ( maybe funeral body in coffin but not drunk audience ) DONT pay for it ....video yes Photography not ...be careful
Autofocus is pretty much on par with competitors lol, also ur comment looks schizophrenic
Did you watch the video? He says that he mostly shoots S-AF and I doubt that a propaganda piece would include the freezing the issue (or the fact that the body feels a little cheap to him). And he didn't even recommend it for photography!
@@Garrus4Spectre yes i watched .....he said that it stuck in burst ( never with me ) and i have issue only with unreliable autofocus and slow processor .......and that's the main problem when shooting events AUTOFOCUS FOR CONTINUOUS SHOOTING IS CRAP.....and if photography is important buy R6 II
I press the af button on the side while using af-c, im not sure if youre doing the same but when i see the green box ive had 100% hit rate so far
