I wish in 30 years later, I can still see Lok and Kai in a same video. Was a fan of Digital Rev back in my college days.
Me 2
Same!! So happy these guys are doing their own thing!
damn, the last video I recall watching of them back then was the Canon 1D IV review lol #thosewerethedays
@@ongakuchan587 my memory is not as good as it used to be. I can only remember videos that feature Kiki (◍•ᴗ•◍)
I miss one more person “Alamby” .
This may be a video about the ZV-E1, but all I can think about is how great the colors and steadiness are from the S5ii.
yeay, tempting my pocket too
I always love the raw element of your reviews. It’s not doctored and it feel genuine. The true sense of real world reviews.
wow that S5II footage and colors looks phenomenal
All this talk about cameras but I watched this because you two are so entertaining.
Does this camera support 24-bit audio recording?
Anyone else think the S5ii footage looked better? Although the Sony seemed to improve a lot with S Cinetone on.
To me the ZV-E1 has iPhone-ish colors if that makes sense? Maybe its just me but the color science resembles that of an iPhone whereas the S5ii just seems a lot lighter and more natural
Digital sharpening appears to play a big factor on the ZV-E1 as well
I saw a better image quality with Sony in few seconds with Cinetone
Always love your reviews!
So ..... for vlogging ..... does it have horizon leveling? It is a great camenra but ..... I have a GH6 (so happy with it) and will buy its bigger sister the Lumix Lumix S5 IIX for $2200 usd.
Extremely tempting! Thanks a lot!
Love this review! So entertaining and informative :)
Like the guy below said I used to follow you guys with Digital Rev I was exited to see you both again! I hope you guys are doing great these days!
It's not quite the same in drab, gray UK.
If they had moved to Tokyo or something, some of the old magic would be there. Heck, even colorful Barcelona would have been pretty cool.
Cinetone looks gorgeous.
Love your videos btw!
This review is a great example of the value shown by the s5 mark ii. Leaps and bounds more impressive and cheaper and lovely stills....
Why do I like the Gold Ocean Forest settings so much? They look fun to start out a look from warm tone to cool tone to green tone.
thank you for the video. What lens do you recommend for day to day use for this camera?
S5II footage looks sweet!!
Amazing mic direction test coupling with the sponsor 😂
Thanks Kai!
Can you use the ai auto tracking in vertical mode?
Can I ask which museum this is? Am quite keen to pay a visit
The steadiness of Lok's footage in this video makes me wanna get the S5ii 😅
Yess agree!
Keep in mind that lok is the human tripod. He established that title in drtv and has never lost it so it's hard to say for sure it's the s5ii that's behind the smooth footage
This does a great job of showing that if you want a full frame vlogging camera, with all the bells and whistles, that has great stabilisation and solid lens selection for under £3000, S5ii does the business 👍
I can’t understand why any vlogger would put up with the Sony stabilisation being so jittery, yet pay such a high price.
The active stabilisation is brilliant, with a crop. It’s the closest to a GoPro you’ll get. It isn’t jerky on panning, that was fixed in a firmware update.
Thanks guys!
After watching this video, i am convinced to buy the S5ii
Amazing review ❤
How is it for photography?
Brilliant!!! finally the EV I wanted has come out just before it's time to buy... few!!!
The mic is a bit crap so wouldn't use that 😂
What were those colons before they activated S-Cinetone? They were too weird.
Cinetone is just amazing (straight out the camera)
I love this idea
Might have to add this to the arsenal. Thanks for the insight Kai!
I commented below when it came out on image quality. I just actually bought one.
The image quality is actually stellar, as it is an A7Sii and they just filmed The Creator major feature film on this sensor.
Most of this video is filmed on settings which bear no resemblance to the quality of the image in the product. The Panasonic was set up right, this should have been filmed in SLog or SCinetone from the start. You can see the quality on the SCinetone short section. It was also a pre production camera as the menus are different and you can swipe left and right.
The camera doesn’t jerky pan and the microphone is much better than it sounds in some of this.
I think they should do another review!
Cam looks really sharp but kinda flickery. Also I know you could chuck another lens on it but I wouldn't want to hold that at arms length for very long.
Did it overheat during the shoot, and how was the battery life?
I check Gerald undone, 4K 60 yes its overheat
It will be fine as long as you live in Norway or Canada and only use it in the winter.
Sold, from Billingham to cameras, I buy after these brilliant episodes.
I'm not here for the camera review but for Kai's drip.
13:06 actually s-cinetone is really fantastic!
I wish they’d bring out a successor to the ax700 camcorder that shoots 4k 120p. The camcorder segment seems to be forgotten by manufacturers
I use the sony ax33 and its just fantastic
That would be fantastic. Unfortunately I think the AX camcorders have been forgotten
@@Loveofwheels I think your right they aren't as popular as they used to be
@@Loveofwheels it’s probably the best allround solution you can buy. Best investment i‘ve made so far.
I just got into camcorders and after using the cx900 which I got for only $300 I’m eyeing up the ax53. For vlogging they’re perfect!
Oh you were at Brooklands... I've been there!
Isn't the RXR1 smaller than this?
im pretty sure it is ready now for 120p.... the question is what will Sony present in June? since it looks like they will kill A7sIII ? so they make you fill like you will have extra benefits in future but maybe you will spend your money now instead of waiting for great announcement
Nah first they have to solve the heat problem, It already collapses over 25c, so the 120p will have ridiculous limits on it. I think they are trying to get the sales, once it is out with massively underwhelming 120 it will hurt sales.
The promise is much better than what the reality will be if they already have cooling issues.
@@Average1212 the thing is that overheating will not change at all, plastic body will stop heating inside...and no one any way will record 120p for a long time this is trick for reuesed older sensor something bigger is coming
I bet that will overheat , can't see any vents or cooling fan on it?
Brother! Love it :D
While we wait for the new apsc sensor with this screen and viewfinder
$3000 Cam + Lens for leisure Vlog seems expensive, espeically with one card slot, no redundency. People would spend on A74, R62 or S52 with pure "hybrid" set up.
What about ZV1 II ? Good enough for everyday blogger without the bulk and much much cheaper.
I'd like to watch a sitcom with the two of you but in the style of Seinfeld. You could hang out in a diner, your apartment and get into adventures together while talking about billingham bags, cameras Etc. Kai would play Jerry.
Just sold my a7s2 last month for 750 with the NTG rode mic and oss kit lens. I have the Panasonic s5 and would much rather the Sony over the Panasonic s5ii (I’ll take anything smaller) and would use the samyang 18mm lens with this set up
So it doesn't have the same heat management and so they decide to release the update for 120fps in June... in summer.
Lumix video featured the best
As a short form creator (150k+) involved with big following youtubers (3M+) and other short creators (3M+), 99% of our conversations are all about ideas, strategy, and storytelling. We almost never talk about gears, especially not about spending $2000+ on a "vlogging" camera. Most of us combine camera, action cam, and smartphone footage depending on the situation and the best tool for the job. Your SMARTPHONE is ENOUGH. If this vlogging camera is aimed at creators... boy do I have news for you :) Remember, anyone can buy really expensive gears if they have the money, but not the skill and knowledge.
spot on buying overpriced gear doesn't guarantee you become a professional content creator
Not to mention if money should be spent ANYWHERE it’s towards the audio
Stop it, it was fun when I read about "magic skill" making 1/1.7 sensor footage look same as like mediun format only-for-rent-selected ARRY from ppl 5-7 years ago, and you keep trying to ruine ppl hobby/carrier. Same as crappy Newton with corrector scope AD that pull ppl from astro hobby instantly. Guys, you NEVER replace costly video gear by magic, it is lie.
Same 3 year old A7S3 hardware but with software tweaking. They sell you a new body.
Size is great, AI is great, FF is great, limited record time due to overheating isn't.
He brings me into 2018s..))
I just want a full frame rx1iii.
THE ONLY REVIEW THAT MATTERS BRUV
Awesome. Is it better than Sony fx30 ? Please suggest I am planning to buy fx30.
#1 you didnt even watch the whole video let alone 1 minute of it and #2 the fx30 and the ZV-E1 are apples to oranges in comparison with the former being a CINEMA LINE focused camera body and the ZV-E1 being a freaking VLOGGING CAMERA. WEIRDOS!
If you don’t need full frame or plan on shooting in APSC/super 35, there’s practically no reason to invest in the zv-e1 over the fx30
Everyone! Let's bump their subs pass 1M! 😄
8:28 Kai this is a family channel broh. 😆 You can't say things like that. 😅
Is vlogging/content creation so lucrative that they can afford a £€$2k+ crippled camera plus a £€$700 lens to compensate?
Aspirational innit. Everyone wants to be a RUclips star.
Yeah, RUclipsrs getting over excited over this over priced product. A74 would be a better buy..
Even smaller RUclips channels can get more views than a lot of 'professionally' produced TV programs, so I don't understand why we're still so dismissive of vloggers and content creators.
It's got A7RV Autofocus while keeping A7siii low light sensitivity. At 2/3rd of their price.
In US and non EU country it's also a bit cheaper. Blame their tax really.
I imagine he has another income given his jacket costs about £600 (if not a fakey special). It’s a pretty nice camera.
9:55 Is it me or does Lok look like he has something suspicious on his coat... lol

We will get there eventually ... issue is, it's coming too quickly. As a creative before I even get a lot of use out of my current purchase out comes Sony with a new one.
z1e? :P
Cnetone does look good though
the thing with sony and not going for the Lumix S5II is that sony has a wider eco system.
So lens options and accesories are way better. Had the S5II for a week and didnt like it that much
What are the reasons you didn’t liked it?
@@GlennUpgraded Autofocus in Photo especially the continuous mode was not on the same level as my 2018 Sony a7iii or tracking....
A7C with the menu button in the right place
Hahaha I was thinking the same
I know its good and all but the non dynamic stabilisation is abysmal, the S5ii looked like it was on a gimbal compared to the ZV-E1, it hurts cause Sony can make great sensor shift but on the name of size (and price I assume) they sacrificed it on a camera where its users which would arguably benefit the most.
It’s just Lok has godly steady hands. Skill issue on Kai’s side 😂
Hey...guy! Want see contens, Sony zve1 + lens 11 mm f 1.8 Vs lens 15 mm f 1.4 G
For Vlog wide lens ???
Pls,, thank you ❤❤❤🎉🎉
"it's like a whale tail" lmao brought back adolescent memories of how we used to use that word back in the 90s/00s here in the states
I want an A7cII
Very few, if any, people asked for this camera. A lot of people are still waiting for an update to the Cybershot RX1r and RX10 cameras, specifically the RX1r II, which had an amazing lens.
loads of people have been asking for this, people want a small vlog camera that has solid video specs like 10bit 4:2:2
@@samuelgosling116 agreed. And what looks like great stabilisation, albeit cropped. That's something Sony has always been shit at, which is why this camera is an attractive proposition for those who vlog on the move.
@@samuelgosling116 Source? Or just hot air? Because there is a large and active community of photographers inquiring about the next RX1r update, only to be consistently disappointed by Sony. The design of the RX1r was more unique, the flange between the 42MP FF sensor and lens was super close, allowing for better photo quality, and the unique Zeiss 28mm lens is still rated as among the best ever produced. In comparison, the ZEV1, or whatever its called, is an enthusiast camera, and for anyone into taking photos, 12MP is a deal breaker. And FYI, the RX1r II is STILL selling in some places for REGULAR price, years after its release! I think Sony is neglecting a large fan base by not updating the RX1r since 2015.
@@nicotri9722 you understand this camera isn't targeted at photographer's thought right? its (clearly) aimed a vloggers and content creators who want a vlog camera with top video specs, also its ff which is a first for 'vlog cameras'. no doubt theres a want for the camera your talking about but they are totally unrelated to this haha
Could be the perfect second video camera if not for the price tag
So of course I bought the ZV-E10 2 months ago.
I like the headphone and mic jacks.
I am NOT a vlogger or blogger.
Beyond 4k60 and 120 and possibly better low light performance, I could still see the A7c being a better camera for most people (even vloggers) and it's $300 cheaper.
No, the stabilisation on the A7C sucks. You need to be shooting with an 18mm and then run it through Catalyst to have useable run and gun vlogging footage.
@@followtheboat the stabilization of the zv-ev1 (stupid naming) looked ass too. So I wouldn't say that is a point in its favour. Plus the bad stabilization comes at a cost of resolution since it then upscales back to 4k for a lovely mushy image.
@@thatren7179 I wouldn't know, I've never used it. I was simply saying as an A7C owner (who uses the camera mainly for stills) the video stabilisation is absolutely rubbish for handheld vlogging.
@@followtheboat I’m not saying it’s good on the A7c. Both are not great, so stabilisation should not be the reason so go with one over the other. The a7c has many other good points which would make it a better choice for most people (like the viewfinder, the higher resolution sensor for hybrid shooting, etc). That’s the nature of a niche product like the ev1 vs a more all round camera like the A7c . The A7c would be a better choice for a lot more people unless you need the high frame rate 4k and want to shoot at 25000 ISO). And that’s only if you feel stuck to Sony. There are cameras from other brands that might be a better choice than either depending on your use case (like Lok’s Pani).
@@thatren7179 indeed. I vlog with a Panasonic because of the stabilisation. I only use the A7C for video when using a tripod, although I do like the video files (even if they are only 8bit). As for photography an EVF is essential for me, but then the EV1 is clearly not aimed at hybrid shooters.
Horseshit and BYD in the same scene is really apt 😂😂😂😂
maybe you could do another channel together doing other stuff like testing restaurants etc
I am getting s5 m 2. Is there anyone want to sponsor me?
good one but expensive
I moved on from panasonic because their auto focus was trash. Auto focus was a huge feature for self filming. Im surprised the stabilization looks crappy here. On other video reviews its been quite stable.
Have you thought about returning with the s5ii?
cool😊
Kai admit it. This is what you have been waiting for since you started your own channel! 😅
saya mau satu ....
This camera makes me wish I had more money 😭
Yeah already spent 1k on my Linux a few years ago.
"flogging vlogging:😂
If it put "with head tracking" instead of "with a unique AI feature", would it be less innovative ?
Why are you pointing the lens toward yourself??
I think cameras have gotten like professional mics. They can’t make them any better now. No where to go
we're basically paying for ports now lol
Cameras are constantly improving. Record times, resolution, readout speeds, codecs, frame rates, batterylife, autofocus tech, and physical footprint are constantly being pushed. They can always be better, it’s more that they’re more than what people typically need
@@nikolasmokalis3425 granted the features can be improved , more notably the stabilization but the overall end result looks no different . Apple proves an iPhone shot with proper lighting and professional editing can look far more pleasing then two guys using an expensive camera in dimly lit conditions and shaky framing
@@TopblokeGolf True, but because iPhones are not dedicated to video and is merely one feature of the device (sometimes with exceptional features) there’s more that needs to be compensated for that regular cameras don’t have a problem with (color bit depth/banding, low-light performance, dynamic range, depth of field, focal length, file storage, editing pipeline integration, etc).
It’s the reason why successful creators and professionals eventually upgrade to dedicated video and audio gear. I know from experience when I filmed a video using a Sony A-Cam & used my iPhone as a B-Cam in generous lighting conditions that when I brought them into Premiere the quality was night and day.
Loks S5 II footage looks better overall
Haha put a hash brown 😅
Not sure many vloggers can afford a £2,600 outlay, Sony has put itself beyond the reach of the majority of iPhone and GoPro bloggers wanting to step up their game... A camera and lens combo around £1,500 is probably what's needed.
I was expecting open gate to record a wider view
Not to cut off the video with the fake cinema mode
lets not mention that c word😂
The Honour x70 has the same touch to track within the frame also auto audio THAT WORKS.& a screen that can be seen clearly in daylight.. excellent stable.all for $260/320 in excellent condition new $360..the zv.1 costs $ 1000 !!!
The price is quite high!
I can get the S5IIX including 2 lenses for €2990,-!
It also sometimes seemed to produce quite shaky footage.
But I’m sure overall it’s great (for who needs the features), and firmware updates will further improve it.
Cheers
But the rolling shutter is poop 💩 on the Panasonic. This Sony has better dynamic range, better AF and way better rolling shutter performance.
@@8020Alive Have you already extensively compared the S5 IIX (with its new features) to the Sony?!
Even if so…every product has good and bad. Every product can be further enhanced via firmware updates.
And for the price of the Sony with 2 lenses, I can have the Panasonic, lenses and an additional BMPCC for certain projects.
Also - in my opinion - the S5 IIX is more of a do-it-all camera than the Sony.
But…your mileage may vary…🤷🙂
Cheers
Overheating is a big issue
The best vlogging camera in this video is Lok's Lumix S5 M2. Sony has some good gimmicks, but Sony has always sucked when it comes to stabilization, and the S5 M2 handheld footage demonstrates how valuable good stabilization is for vlogging. And the S5 M2 is more affordable, but best of all, the Lumix does not have fake cinematic black bar nonsense.
Why did Lok leave Hong Kong? Does anybody know?
I do not know why Lok left Hong Kong, but there are many leaving. Hong Kong is changing. I would not want to live there.
@@mawavoy In what way?
@@Daniel_Ilyich , you read or watch world news?
@@mawavoy Not very attentively. I tend to not pay too much attention to things that are outside of my control.
@@Daniel_Ilyich , the reason Lok left Hong Kong is outside your control. So no reason for you to spend anymore time on it. PS The reason people pay attention to things that are outside their control is so they can avoid them. PS 2 If you think you cannot do something then you can not.
