      G9 shooter. Was recently on the verge of adding a Z6 as my intro to FF since my work is 80-90% stills these days and I have grown impatient waiting on GH6/G9 successor development details. This S5 at $1995 has drawn me back in. This video really deserves a lot more visibility. Perhaps Panasonic should pay to boost it on various platforms? LOL! Nice work!

    Yep. I've ordered the S5. I've watched a lot of videos about it. Yes, the AF isn't perfect and still sketchy. But, it is dramatically better. And given the price point, it has a lot of great features, not the least of which is being full frame, and shoots 10-bit internally. Plus, I've always like Panasonic's color science. Until my S5 arrives, I continue to watch more S5 porn. Haha. Thumbs up.

      Once you have a pro level Pana it's hard to look at competition. Not just from feature set but their ergonomics, handling, weather sealing, menu system, photo and video quality just for me at least elevate it above so much of the competition.
      I was on a shoot awhile ago where we shot with my GH5 for a reshoot on a music video that was originally shot on an Arri Amira. We used my gh5 because it matched colour and quality with the 10bit video at 4k of the Amira the best out of our options. Which was between a Canon 80d and a Sony a7iii.
      For that shoot the owner of the a7iii shot on my gh5 and kept going on about how good and intuitive the camera feels. How good the screen is etc. The entire experience with Panasonic is just great.
      They have won my loyalty for now :)

    • @Clickumentary

      I think the only knock against this option (vs. GH5/G9) is that 4K60 is cropped. I tend to switch between 4K30 & 4K60 at times, and that does force you to adjust.

    Hello, Just came across you channel. I literally just bought a GH5 as a RUclips vlogger and just fell in love with the 4k60.. Just do some amount of nighttime and video with GH5 stuggles. Not bad but struggles. Contrary to some of the other comments "real videographers don't use autofocus" is BS. I don't consider myself a professional but those of us who do video and do not have time to stop our world to manual focus autofocus is a good thing. I have had little problems with autofocus on GH5 with -5,-4 settings on AF. It does take a bit to focus but once locked on it stays and does not breath in and out or what ever you call it. My concern is hearing some again challenges with autofocus and using S5 and Sigma lens say 14-24 mm.. Wondering what others experience has been. These lenses are not cheap.

    • @PavSZ
      @PavSZ  Год назад

      S5 autofocusing is OK but it has a lot of issues. A little bit more issues with Sigma lenses than Lumix lenses.

      My Canon 600D (Rebel) is long overdue for an upgrade. Was almost 100% sold on the A7iii, but given that I was looking at mainly getting those amazing new Sigma lenses (particularly the new 85 1.4 DG DN) anyway, the S5 has come along and caught my eye. Given the age of the A7iii, I'd love a direct comparison. I only shoot stills, so the video AF issues are absolutely not an issue for me. Plus the Lumix menus look so much nicer to deal with.
      Love the review, you are one of the few that dedicates enough time to the stills and AF for stills

    Reasons I chose this camera after researching FF mirrorless options for months:
    Dynamic Range
    Anamorphic Mode
    VLOG
    LCD display brightness
    Overheating not an issue
    More manageable file sizes vs Canon R5/R6
    Dual Native ISO
    Flippy screen
    High resolution mode
    Firmware update coming to allow 6k output via hdmi
    I paid $2,297 for the body plus the kit lens, and potentially a free Sigma 50mm lens with the rebate. Not a bad start for that price.

    Have been a G85 user for 5 years seriously considering the S5 as an upgrade for it's video features and most importantly it's probably the best bargain for a full frame camera! The auto focus for me is not a big deal as I mostly use manual focus and what I love about Panasonic is the consistent firmware updates and how they continually support their older cameras even the G85 which is probably 6 or 7 years old now since it's first release! My G85 just keeps getting better even the auto focus with every new firmware update and I know the S5 will have that same support.

    At 04:20 you can see how the background looks really bad because of CDAF behavior, I love my G80 but the problem is still there even on S5 as I can see (so not reliable at all), not confident autofocus like Sony or Dual Pixel from Canon. Also sometimes it follows the face but there is softness because of its slower and not precise tracking. It's better compared to CDAF in the past but still not reliable as intended for confident video usage with AFC.

    There is a video of a guy shooting with the S5 professionally and talks about autofocus, and he said, as long as you tell the autofocus WHAT to do, sort of like a manual autofocus.
    It will do the job and dial in some settings to eliminate the pulsing issues, in fact the S5 can be dialed in to pull focus like they do in cinema, notice how focus is never pulled fast in movies unless its for dramatic effect, its always slow and steady.
    Only bummer about the S5 is the lens selection, no pancakes but Sony has plenty also its got the weight of a tank for its size.
