#sonya7siii #sonyvslumix #lumixs5iix
Every time you switch brands, you learn. You learn about yourself as a photographer or videographer, you learn about what's important for you and what characteristics of your equipment aren't so important.
I hate Sony, i bought Sony because it was "better" but I never enjoyed shooting with Sony. Now I'm in Nikon, but watching closely what happen with Panasonic, i use manual lenses and the stabilization in the Panasonic cameras is the best...
Yeh completely agree. When you're learning you don't know what you like, how you prefer to shoot, what style you like etc. So it's a maturing process is what you're telling me 😂
To be honest I haven't ever shot Nikon, I've never even held one, for some reason I have never gravitated towards them. That doesn't mean I don't like them, I just can't really comment on them really. I hope it fits for you though! 😊
@@TheCreatorsBlock I hope you could try a Nikon soon. The overall rendition of the images is the best in my opinion, but Nikon is lacking in midrange and low end offering, only the Z8 and Z9 are worth the price.
I had a friend buy one recently as his first real camera-ass-camera and I was just thinking, "If only he'd given me the chance to talk him out of it..." It's not even that they're bad cameras! If anything, they're too good to the point of being boring.
That's cute to say that being confused is learning..wow..How about rent or buy something, run through the paces and then making a responsible decision??What am amazing idea..
If the S5iix had 4K60 uncropped and even 120fps uncropped it would be an instant buy for me, no matter the price.
I have the gh5 and 6, and i love those cameras, but tyeh really struggle with lowlight and autofocus when you need to have it. I mainly use it for solo 'run and gun' wedding videos.
I really don't know what to do. I want a new fullframe but the sony's are so expensive and i looooove the ibis and overall colorspace/functionality of the panasonic cameras.
The 24-105 is a beautifull macro lens btw!
Maybe wait for the S1 range to be updated. They may put some of these features in them.
I just switch from A7S3 and FX30 to S5m2x. Sooooo happy to do that!
Could you tell me what was the thing that make you happy abt s5iix, btw I'm thinking to buy a7siii but lumix s5iix seems more advanced machine.
@@hamzajamshed7399s5ii is the best hobby camera for handheld shooters and best color quality outta the box. its wayy easier to use but unreliable autofocus and rolling shutter is not great for professional jobs. Not the best option for sports or fast tracking especially if you plan on walking away from the tripod. Sony is a better pro cam because of higher picture quality in all frame rates with no crop and better eco system for multicam setup, more lens options. The only disadvantage is the upfront cost and maybe a gimbal to match the s5ii stabilization.
That was pretty funny. Just bought the S5 and I feel so pleasantly affirmed.
Thank you! ☺️
totally enjoyed your GAS journey honestly and totally understand your reasons behind the switches , I my self had a Canon 7d as my first DSLR camera bought it at launch date back in 2009 i loved and enjoyed using it and as you said it sure can take a beat and then some am a commercial airline co-pilot so logging it with me for every layover around the globe did yield me some amazing images with it its just got so heavy to carry , so since I was mostly enjoying street photography when am in a new town and wanted something low profile and light to carry decided few years back to get me a Sony RX100m6 which was the latest at that time and have honestly enjoyed and loved the images it can capture despite its small 1 inch sensor , but after the years passed by and since i mostly do stills with the rx100 cause it does over heat quickly when you shoot in 4k i was craving something bigger and better and honestly as i was in rush to buy me anything i spent lots of hours and hours watching RUclips videos and finding all about the cripple hammer of each camera in every system which just made the buying decision grow longer well that til the lumix s5iix came by and it just appeared perfect in everyway so i just knew this is going to be my camera and finally pulled the trigger and oh what a jump it was from the 7d to this one , shooting videos and taking picture with it is so seamless and enjoyable and fun and it just makes me hit the streets in every trip just to enjoy shooting with it , as for the lenses I've been hunting some good deals on eBay and mpb since i didn't had any l mount lenses and here is what i got me so far ,
sigma 16-28 2.8 . sigma 28-70 2.8 . sigma 70-300 4.5 , sigma 24 1.4 , lumix 85 1,8 , ttartisan 35 f2 , ttartisan 50 f2 , laowa Argus 28mm f1.2 , sirui anamorphic s35 35mm 1,8 and lemme just tell you the amount of beauty you get with these amazing deals behind the s5iix is just beyond extraordinary
sorry for the lengty comment i just was surprised to find out that we both had the same first and last camera 🤣🤣
🤣 Glad to hear I'm not the only one! It sounds like you have quite an interesting job! And to go from a 7d to a S5iix is quite a leap so I bet you are seeing even more of a jump in image quality and performance! You managed to skip all the years of buying and selling like me at least 🤣
I hope you enjoy it and sounds like you have quite a lens lineup on the cards!
I have a S1 but when you switch cameras, I don’t think the S5ii was better. That A7SIII is a beast!
No doubt that the Sony is a beast! Hard to beat for sure! I just like using the Lumix more, just a personal preference.
How do you like the S1?
Lumix makes more sense to me than all the others, at least for hybrid stills/video cameras. The S5 IIX and the G9 II are virtual siblings. The differences are basically no fan in the G9 II, and the Micro 4/3 sensor, with better IBIS, slightly better AF, and faster frame rates. You lose almost two stops of dynamic range, gain an increase in depth of field via shorter lenses, and the G9 II may overheat in extreme circumstances due to the lack of fan. But at least Lumix has TWO sensor formats in two nearly identical bodies that do most of the same exact things, otherwise. They LISTEN to their customers, put controls where they belong, and make solid, reliable gear. Welcome to the fold.
Yeh I agree. I do like the idea of the M4/3 system for all its benefits, but I do prefer that Full Frame look. Call me a bokeh snob 😂
If only the lenses were compatible I might have bought a g9ii as a b-cam.
Thanks for the welcome, happy to be here 😊
Can't wait to see what you can create with the S5IIX. I also own it, and I like it so far.
Thank you 😊
I'm definitely more excited to create. What lenses do you have with yours?
Man, this literally parallels my journey with cameras as well! I tried them all, but eventually I landed back on the Lumix S5II. I actually had the Lumix S5II when it first released the beginning of this year, but ended going back to Sony because I thought I needed it to be taken seriously… But the reality is, I love the user experience of the Lumix along with their image quality. Just like you mentioned the video, it’s a more enjoyable experience. Great video by the way!
Than you! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Yeh there is just something about Lumix that makes them fun to use!
I've worked with the Lumix S5(1) for 18 months now and am VERY pleased. What a war machine.
Great video!! Totally resonated with me. 😂
Just had the S5iiX delivered and enjoying learning the new system. Looking forward to your future videos 👍🏻🤘
😂 I'm just glad to hear I'm not the only one!
Yeh it can be fun learning a new system, enjoy!
Thanks for the support ☺️
I'm 35 and I lived through every generation of camera you mentioned. My first camera was a Sony DCR-VX1000 at 15 😅
3CCD's baby! DV Tape! 4:3! Yeah! 😂
You keep on switching because you believe it is the camera doing the work, it is the user not the camera my friend even you will buy the most expensive camera if you don't know how to use it then....
Yeh I understand what you're saying, but for me it wasn't that I didn't know how to use it. It was more that I didn't enjoy using it.
I think he is switching because he can. Nothing bad about that.
@@TheCreatorsBlockabsolutely right. I sold my Ricoh gr3 for a Leica tl2 for the same reason. No ibis, not as compact, very indiscreet
You're right, but everything he said about Sony is 100% spot on. They have the best AF by far, but their hybrids are just not enjoyable to use compared to others, especially Lumix. The fact that they're still making brand new hybrids that overheat at the drop of a dime during video is just... INSANE!
Now that Lumix has figured out PDAF, there's really no reason for anyone to wanna switch back anymore. I'm right there with him, 100%.
@@Studiotek Sony have a bigger cripple hammer than Canon do. They also don’t provide software updates and just put all their efforts into the next iteration. They also seriously cripple their g lenses so if you want a small and light lens you will have to get a sigma contemporary or samyang … Colour science is much better now but if you want to get into cine cams… the colour science straight out of camera is light years behind Blackmagic and red, and fairly short of lumix. Yes you can grade s-log with the colour chart… but with Blackmagic and red you can literally just skip that step. Why? Because Sony want to cripple and protect their Venice and Burano line. Don’t buy and fx3/6/9 unless you are using them as b cams with your burano/venice where you have the gm lenses. Everyone else should stay away from Sony. Zv-e1 looks okay because it is cheap, but then you have the crippled g lenses again 😂
This green light is really ugly. Turn it off, man
Hahahahaha it’s off now don’t worry
Camera rentals can save a crap ton of money against the wrong choice.
Yes very true, this is what I recommend to do or borrow a friend's, colleague's, whatever. See what suits you best.
The menu system is incredible for LUMIX. That being said, I’ve made as much money shooting a Fuji XT4 as I do right now with my lumix eco system. They’re all just tools to get the job done and tell a story.
I have to admit in 2024 we’re just clutching at straws at this point, because let’s face it, almost any camera system on the market is good enough for professional work. We are very spoiled and probably getting too fussy 😂
But you’re right, they are just tools to get the job done. And all can do amazing jobs! I’m just one who enjoys tools 😂 So I like to enjoy using mine. I’m the same with a combi-drill and mitre saw 😂
I went from the G85 to X100V to Lumix S5 to Sony A7RIII back to the S5 and as of 2 weeks ago the S5IIX 😅 which is my absolute favorite camera that I’ve had. Thought the A7RIII was gonna be the holy grail for me since I always wanted a Sony Alpha camera but turns out I didn’t like it like I thought I would and a month later I sold it. Deep down I’m a Lumix guy at heart
Ha! That’s quite the boomerang 😂
Glad to hear you’re liking the camera too 😊
😂😂 I laughed a lot while watching this video. We’ve all been there man. Colors are looking great man
🤣 I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks man 😊
The happiness on your face after switching worth every penny 🏵️
🤣
Interesting. Actually very educational. Interesting that the You Tube videos never gave enough info. Probably they never can. But there used to be a saying to be `widely ready' about any topic. I think we should be `widely You Tubed,' now and get many different points of view. But one can never know enough unless one uses the thing for themselves and find out what works or not for them. That's where this has been very educational. The logic for the upgrade path is pretty straight forward. Doesn't really sound like GAS to me.
Thank you! Glad you found some logic in my journey 🤣
Totally agree. I always advise people watch and research as much as they can. Not everyone has the same needs, opinions or experiences.
Thanks for the support!
It’s crazy because I shoot with the r6 and the audio and noise always bothered me and I would always say to myself it was my fault that the camera was giving me footage like that. Glad you’ve tried all these cameras because your opinion is much more valuable than someone who is talking about all the brands but only shot with one brand their whole career. Thanks for great video.
Yeh I know! I was quite surprised at how bad it was, both the log footage and the audio. I mean, I may have done something wrong who knows because Canon is still very popular for video. I just couldn’t get the results I wanted so I moved on.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
Interesting stuff! Really like your style of storytelling and editing 👏
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
This is a great video! Honestly I was the same way been shoot since 1998 and times are changing. Let’s keep these companies on their heels. It plays better in the consumers favor. We make them continue to push the envelope.
Thank you, half you enjoyed it! Yeh it's good for them to have stiff competition!
Good luck to all of us when the Lumix S1 mark II comes out.
Ha! I know! Although it’s a great time to be in the LUMIX ecosystem!
I am planning to buy a lumix camera in future as my first camera. I agree with all of your opinions in video and in here. 💚👍
cheers!
Update, sold my a7s3 and got the s5ii, kept my a7r3 and all the lenses though. Went with the s5ii rather than the x because of my passion for photography as well, yhe mechanical shitter is clutch.
Amd added a x100v for fun
Nice! Sounds like quite the collection 😂
What lenses did you go for with the LUMIX?
Don’t feel bad. I’ve had the a6000, a6300, a6400, a6500, a6600, a7III, a7IV, a7Sii, a7Siii, a7Rii, a7Riii, a7C, FX30, FX3, FX6, Fuji XT-30, XT-1, XT3, and now… the S5IIx. I still have the FX6. Don’t even get me started on lenses…
🤣🤣🤣 we should start a support group 😂
So... Will you stay with Lumix?
I actually bought the S5iiX to fill the role of compact hybrid, knowing that I’d be switching my primary video/cinema cameras to Blackmagic. I have the 12G video assist which means I can record in MOV, MP4, ProRes, or BRAW. This way I can keep everything in the BRAW eco system, using mostly L-mount lenses. The sale of my FX6, FX3, and A7IV paid for a pair of Blackmagic Pyxis cinema cameras, an S5IIx, and a BMPCC6K as a crash/D cam (using EF glass without the L-mount adapters I bought).
Qe have the same lenses. I have an S5 and just bought the S5IIX .. s5 is going to be my B camera now and give me the opportunity to use it more comfortablly for play and experimentation
Ha we also share the same first name and my brother is called Omar, so that’s slightly funny 🤣
Sounds like a nice little setup you have there! 😊
When you switch to the s5iix it was a little bit more contrast like the shadows where a little bit more crushed but I think that can be easily adjusted in the settings or in the color grading process
I also did the big Jump thing.. Nikon to cannon to Lumix S5 to now S5iix.. absolutely love the S5iix. The 24-105 amazing lens. The Term kit however.. that's a canon term.. kit was crap with canon KIT with Lumix.. brilliant!
I've never had a Nikon if I'm honest. Glad to hear it was the right move for you too!
Yeh you're probably right, the Canon kit lenses are pretty bad. To me the Panasonic ones are just like G series lenses for Sony, very good!
@@TheCreatorsBlock i remember the Canon 18-55 lens.. that was ok.. being nice. not amazing that's for sure.
There’s Fuji like the h2S which is incredible in photos and video. Maybe that’s another switch 😏
Ha! Yeh and also the new x100vi looks intriguing 🤔
Interesting and entertaining! Watching as I’m a drone & FPV person who wants to get a damn good hybrid ground camera when I can afford it. Watched so many videos, gone back and forth and pretty sure I want the S5iix. 👍
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. So far the S5iiX is great, but definitely do your research! Good luck 😊
@@TheCreatorsBlock Cheers! I think I’ve done so much research that my head may explode. The weight is heavily leaning on this camera now. 😂
🤣 I know the feeling! Have you managed to test out the camera first to make sure it's right for you? Or any other cameras?
@@TheCreatorsBlock 😂 I’ve tried a couple of Sony models a bit before, but what my head keeps telling me is, based on the results I’ve seen from the S5iiX, along with various features which are important to me, plus the ability to expand the camera with SSD + Pro Res if ever needed, is making it seem like the best choice. Would be about my maximum limit on price, so I’m not seeing any other viable options with so much packed in.
Lumix do offer a lot of great professional features inside their bodies. I also managed to get mine with the 50mm and 20-60 for less than the Sony a7iv on its own! So they are very well priced. Good luck with it all! 😊
i am also Sony user and i think this time to change my cemra system Lumix S5iiX
Nice to hear I’m not alone 🤣
Man, it took me some times to watch your video 😁, but it's worth it 👍🏻, I like it when you say " that was too clinical and just used it for professional " , That's also how I feel about all of my ex cameras ,, except one, and that was the lumix gh2 that I bought when it first came out and it was the first camera I had, Yes,, I need a camera that can give me hope for sure , Desire to be creative and make me feel like I have friends at the same time ,, I think i'll go with S5iix , Cheers! 🍻
Ha! Glad you liked it 😂
A switching story short way:
sony HDR-fx1
Canon 7D
Canon 5D mk2
Sony a6500
sony a7III
Canon R
Canon R5
Sony A7 IV
and a few weeks ago
Nikon Z8
What did I learn?
There is ALWAYS a better camera, and if you think that is not, it will show up tomorrow.
So I wrote all my needs on the piece of paper (including enjoyment of use, lens I need, what I will use it to, not spec only) and checked which camera offered it all to me. It narrowed to 2 cameras. Nikon Z8 and Canon R5C.
Then I took the one which felt better in hand. Today I am happy with Z8, tomorrow.... he he he
That's quite the back catalogue 🤣
That z8 keeps making an appearance in the comments! I might have to give that a try sometime.
Yeh I agree there will always be a better camera, but it's finding the right system where those cameras will progress with you in a way that keeps you engaged. I'm hoping I've now found my system of choice and any future Lumix camera will keep me interested. So far all this AI and global shutter stuff that Sony are doing, isn't swaying me in the slightest.
Waiting for an internal ND... Hoping Lumix will introduce that.
@@TheCreatorsBlock Cameras for me are tools, I am ok with changing them if they don't do what I need. I am not really into any company, I was a Canon fanboy a long time ago but I realised one important thing. None of these companies cares about me, they only want to sell me their product, no more no less.
Z8 works for me for now, I record long-time content for 1.5-2 hours and do photography. Nikon does it well. (I recorded 2h 4k 30fps H265 N-Log, no overheating) Ergonomy is good (I prefer R5 but there is 30 min record limit)
I thought about S5II and this camera was on my list, but I just like to have a 45mp sensor.
In my opinion, I don't need to grow with the system, the system has to grow to serve my needs. When I work and I don't think about what I keep in my hand, just concentrate on my subject, then I know that I have the right tool in my hand.
And about what you mentioned:
AI, not much we can do about it, we just have to learn how to live with it. It will not stop.
Sony's global shutter - a great thing, but do I need it? No. The Z8 sensor read is fast enough. I don't need 120fps and I think only a few people need it. And more importantly, technology is not ready yet. A9III global shutter is coming with a big price, and I don't talk about money. The minimum ISO is 250. the dynamic range went down 2 stops compared to A9 II. If you make money by shooting sport, that's a great camera, anything other... not really.
Lumix does a great job, S5Ii gives us an amazing tool when you compare the price to what you have in it. I think it's a better deal than Nikon Z8. I used some Panasonic in past but mostly camcorders, so I didn't put it them on my list. If you looking for an internal ND, I don't think it will happen soon. Sony and Canon have their cinema lines which have everything needed for professionals. Internal ND, connectivity, modules. I think there is no business for them to bring this to cameras. To many people would lost their need for cine equipment. (I can be wrong of course and it is only my opinion)
Similar experience to yours.
I bought an R50 from Canon in November... gave myself it as a present for later. Enjoyed it for the past little while... But , I wanted full frame...so I order a speed booster...got a sigma lens, then just sobered up and realized:
Hey dummy, you're chasing VIDEO, you love cinematography & photography. Cut your losses, return the lens, throw the R50 on ebay. It's struggling to attain the look you want. Lumix, will not. Sony will not... etc.
Pooling everything together is $1200 off from this camera... so...
Yeah. For an artist/art teacher buying their first camera I think I am going Lumix and sticking with it.
I should have: read more. BUT, I also think people shouldn't be too hard on themselves. If you and your loved ones are taken care of, you're financially relatively able to afford it...Ehhh....sometimes that's just a hobby. Keyboards, Airsoft, hell even in the art world, there's USED stuff for a reason. People impulse buy, and G.A.S. is real.
TRYYYYY to mitigate it as much as possible fellow nerds.
Find the images/video you love. Find out how to achieve that, and then go from there. Do not force a tool to do something it struggles to do, including yourself and wallet. ( Now time for me to take my own cringey advice lol )
Thanks for the great story.
I almost bought 3 of your other recent cameras so don't feel too bad. I have had a similar journey. I love my S5iix.
Ha, no worries glad you enjoyed! 😊
Just subscribed. A very entertaining video! New firmware is coming in a week or so that vastly improves the S5iix 👍🏻
Thank you! Much appreciated 😊🙏
And yes! Can’t wait for the firmware! 😊
This is funny because I took the same trek but without Sony. I was ping ponging between Panasonic GH to Canon to Fuji to Leica to Panasonic S1, S1R, S1H to Canon and now purchased the S5iix. Not fun in the wallet but I've always found the Panasonic cameras fun to shoot and they have a lot of fun features that the other cameras don't have. The only other camera I have is the BlackMagic 6K FF which I only purchased because I didn't need to add additional equipment. It is L-Mount which I have a bunch of lenses now, I have V-mount batteries because BlackMagic batteries don't last long. I already had CFast cards and the camera has a 1.6 squeeze factor built in which matches perfectly with my Sirui 1.6 anamorphic lens set. I shoot everything else on the Lumix and I'm already saving for the second version of the S1R which I'm sure will have at least a 60mp sensor for photos. I do love the photos coming out of the S5iix though so maybe I'll re-think that.
Ha! Happy to hear I'm not the only one! Yeh the S5iiX is a great photo camera as well. I'm not as interested in higher megapixel cameras to be honest, but I get why they may appeal to some. 24mp is perfect for me.
1 month from now A7siv releases then he switches again. 6 Month later the Canon R6iii yep another switch, 3 months later frustration hits cause he still isn’t happy and he switches to Pana S5iiix. I would say just lay on your left side at night it can help get rid of GAS.
Ha! Yeh I'm pretty happy with the Lumix system so will be sticking with it for a while! ☺️
Considering the complete lack of support that Sony has given A7s3 users - still no breathing compensation etc - I do not believe that a7s4 could be a success. This lack of support btw is the reason I am leaving Sony ecosystem.
Been putting off watching this cause I feel this move coming. Want to sell my a7iv and move back to Lumix. Started on the G9. I wish tamron would start making Lmount. I use my 28-200 so much for travel, but I feel a switch coming.
🤣 Like I said there's just something numb about a Sony! Yes they're great cameras but they're just not exciting or interesting.
Yes Tamron would be a nice edition.
Lumix is the best camera today... and it is somewhat affordable as well.
Yeh their deals are crazy good compared to the competition!
I am subscribed! What a fantastic video! I loved it! LOL!
Ha! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks very much for your support 😊
Great video and lessons to teach, thanks for maling this!
Thank you ☺️
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have similar story and watching this video i thought you talking about me 😂
Your videos are So good 🤩 👍👍👍👍👍
Cant wait to see more videos!!!
Ha! Glad to hear I'm not the only one! Thank you! ☺️
You poor bastard... are speaking directly to my soul!
Would the lumix be a good camera for sports videography?
I’d probably say no if I’m truly honest. Not that it can’t, it’s just I feel there may be better options elsewhere for that. Firstly the Autofocus is good but it’s not as good as Sony. Plus the slower readout speed will cause a bit more rolling shutter especially for sports.
@@TheCreatorsBlock thanks appreciate the feedback. So would you say more along the lines of Sony FX3 or Sony A7 iv?
No problem! Well if you’re just focusing on video then the fx3 would be a far better option as the a7iv suffers from a fair bit of rolling shutter I believe. Or perhaps the ZVE1 or a7s3? They’re almost the same cameras really.
But saying that Sony are rumoured to be releasing an a7v soon, so you might want to hold off?
@@TheCreatorsBlock thanks for taking the time to respond.
Do you think the fx30 at its price point would be a good starting point? Or does crop sensor not make it worth it?
Basically the 3 topics I’m looking to shoot id weddings, sports and cards. So looking to get a camera that suits all 3. The lumix looked good for the cars and weddings but as you said not so good for sports.
It’s difficult to say really, everyone has different preferences but the fx30 is a very good video camera, but is the ZVE1 not a similar price?
If you can somehow borrow or test a few I think it would help you a lot!
I'm curious if this Panasonic compares well to the FX3 and it's having fans and no rolling shutters a wider shot on 60 FPS and so on... I guess you didn't get the FX3 because you want photography
Yeh unfortunately I haven’t been able to try the fx3. It was an intriguing camera at its release but I also didn’t fully understand its purpose to be honest. I don’t feel like the fx range truly deserves the ‘cinema’ camera title. The FX6 is a whole other animal and the fx3 and fx30 seem like pretend cinema cameras to me. And the fact you can get the same camera but with a viewfinder and better photography features confuses me a bit. Sony have too many of the same camera, but with tiny differences. So yeh, if they came with built in ND’s or something then yeh that would set them apart a bit more.
I just like having a hybrid style camera for my line of work. But I get how the built in cage features of the fx range can be very advantageous for more video focused users.
Rolling shutter s5iix is the same as sony a7iii, which means not good. FX3 rolling shutter is very low, well, given its 12mp sensor mostly.
got the s5ii with 20-60 kit lens for $2100 and decided to order the 24-70mm lumix s pro lens which is coming in soon decided to return the s5ii 2 days later for the s5iix just the body which is 2,000 just gonna pair it with the 24-70mm lens i ordered and do without the kit lens also have the nifty fifty coming in just thinking now of a zoom and super wide angle lens
Nice! Yeh I was looking at the 24-70 to be honest but went with the 24-105 in the end. That decision is never an easy one to make, even now 😂
Also have the nifty, it’s actually very very good. I prefer it to my 85 to be honest.
The X is definitely worth the extra cost over the ii if you ask, just for the design! 🤣
@@TheCreatorsBlockhonestly had the s5ii for a couple weeks its a long story but loved the camera its just all these features for 200 bucks more plus since i was ordering the 24-70 didn’t need the kit lens and now that i have the s5iix in my hands i love seeing all these new features and options guess ima give me more kinda guy
The switch scene.. definitely nice.
Ha! Thanks. 😊
Im at that crossroads atm. Sell a6700 and a7iii and go for the a7siii or the s5iix. What to do?
Oooh tough choice. I guess you already know my choice 🤣
However if you already have a nice lineup of Sony lenses, then you can probably get a great deal on an a7siii now… or is the a7siv just around the corner 🤣
It never ends my friend and unfortunately only you can make the choice. I feel your pain! 😂
Honestly how does the autofocus compare to Sony a7s3? Am looking admirably at the lumix.
To be honest I haven’t done a load of testing with the LUMIX yet to make a fair comparison. The A7siii is really good and locks on to the subject well, however it’s not perfect. It fails at times, hunts or grabs on to something I don’t want it to. So I would never solely rely on it for complex shots. But for talking head they both seem to lock on equally well to me.
@@TheCreatorsBlock have heard you can add Lightroom presets to your photos when doing jpegs , if true it could give Fuji a run for its money. Like the idea of recording pro res and the stabilisation is said to be insane
Grea video but the amount of cameras you purchased gave me a heart attack
😂 Imagine how my wife feels 😂
An excellent video, jolly pleased to hear I’m not the only one that suffers from G.A.S.!!
I’m just deliberating over changing my Fuji X-T3 to the S5II…
Man the X-T3 is so garbage you could switch to a sony A7sii or A7s 1 and get way better results ...trust me
Ha! Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊
I don't have much experience with Fuji, so I can't really comment, but so far the S5iiX is great!
Great video. For a beginning vlogger, would you recommend the Lumix S5ii or the GH6? Keep up the amazing work, and yes, I do prefer the look of the Lumix S5ii...excellent quality and super crisp and vibrant. Well done!
I’d probably recommend the s5ii to be honest. Especially with the autofocus improvements it will be much more reliable for vlogging. Plus you can’t beat that full frame look.
The s5ii can actually be picked up so cheap with lenses included! The 20-60 kit lens would be a great beginner vlogging lens!
Thanks for the support! Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@TheCreatorsBlock You're awesome and thanks for this! Solid advice on sound reasoning and the lens recommendation for vloggers is very thoughtful. Just subbed and hope to see more content of yours! Cheers
I have had a lot of the same cameras as you had up to the Sony A7iii (which I also didn't love). Then I tried an EOS R, and it just works so well overall -- despite what its specs would imply -- I've been looking for the next step up for a while now, and just not taking the plunge. I'm currently giving the S5iiX a hard look, so I will check out some more of your videos. Have you found moire to be much of a problem with it?
Nice! Did you got for an S5iiX in the end? No I haven’t experienced any moire yet.
@@TheCreatorsBlock I didn't. In the end I went back to Sony for an A7Cii, as I take product shot stills more often than I need high frame rates for really slow motion. If not for that, I probably would have gone for an ZV-E1. At any rate, I am really blown away by the A7Cii, it's amazing. And recent model Sony color science makes me sooooo much happier than the old models did.
man whats with your studio lighting and the contrast you turned all the way up in the video? Its harsh, bro, not to say toxic!
Thanks for your input, I will take it onboard. Although ‘toxic’? A bit much 😂
I work with what I can afford. The life of a self funded RUclipsr.
Thanks for this video! I have a Sony A7iv and lumix s5ii. Sometimes I feel I miss shots on my lumix. Thinking about selling
And go with the a 7iv. How do you feel about the auto focus on the lumix?? Also what software you edit in?
Thank you, glad you liked it 😊
Yeh, so I'm glad you picked up on what this video was about. It wasn't about promoting the S5iix over Sony, it was about finding a system that you find fits you best (albeit mine was a very costly journey 🤣). And if the a7iv is a better fit for you then it makes more sense to stick with one system that can share lenses, accessories and also will match up better in post.
As for the AF in the Lumix, I find it works very well, pretty much on par to my old a7siii, but that camera is over 2 years old now and Sony has definitely made huge improvements since, so I can't compare to the IV or even the new ZV-e1 with all the AI stuff. So yeh if you're struggling with the S5ii then it would make sense to have two bodies of the same system that fits you best.
Software I jump about a bit, I use both Final Cut and Premiere Pro. This was edited in Premiere, but I think I prefer FCP overall.
@@TheCreatorsBlock thank you for your reply brother. My wife was looking at me side eyed when I had cameras coming in. I get where you are coming from to find a system that works for you. I want to give canon a go with the r6markii, but along selling my current gear, might have to include my kids as the lenses are insane in price. I also looking at Nikon Z8, the 4k 120 option sounds pretty smooth and all electronic shutter this seems stacked to the gills. But like you, do I hear a Sony A75 in the background???
That's one of the reasons I'm still sticking to my A7IV at the moment. I do both photography and videography. I tested out the S5ii to see how it was. Borrowed some lenses from a friend and tried using it at an actual event. The auto-focus has improved, but I found myself missing shots that I never had an issue of getting with my A7IV. The camera will just start hunting for focus out of nowhere.
For video, I will say the S5ii is absolutely fantastic. It is more enjoyable than the Sony, but both suck when it comes to rolling shutter. I shot both in LOG profiles and didn't really find that big of a difference between the two. Maybe the Sony had better dynamic range, but couldn't tell the difference. If Panasonic can fix their focusing issues, I might consider them. I will manual focus, but when shooting weddings, having auto-focus is a must.
R5 doesn’t overheat anymore, the fixed that.
Yeh I haven't heard anything more about it, so perhaps they have now which is good! But in my 'timeline of events' it was an issue at the time, so I stayed clear. Then much later tried the R6ii and didn't get on with it, so no love lost on the R5 for me 😂
A very good Video. Thank you. This was interesting.
Thank you ☺️
Glad you enjoyed it!
hey!! thanks for the interesting video!!
I am thinking of switching from the micro 4/3 serie of lumix to the s5 ii. Specially for stills and professional photography jobs. Do you think this will be a nice camera with the 24-70 from sigma for that??
I really love Lumix but I can only find videos about the capability of this camera for videos but not for stills.
Thanks mate, i´ll appreciate the answer!!
No problem! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Well as a photography camera it's absolutely amazing to be fair but it really depends on what you're shooting. I do know that m43 cameras do benefit from far faster readout speeds meaning less buffering, rolling shutter and higher burst speeds. But if you're more slow paced, such as portrait, landscape etc then you can't go wrong. The colours are beautiful.
I also had the sigma but for Sony E-mount and I have to say it's a fantastic lens and loved on my Sony almost full time.
Thanks for the fast answer!!! in my case it is for portraits, events and some street photography. At the moment what I am missing is more dynamic range and more depth of field, so this may be far better than my little lumix G90.
Thanks again!!! It is helpful seeing that you were through some different brands and systems!! @@TheCreatorsBlock I keep watching what you do next!!
The first step is admitting that you have a problem
What about the single memory card? What happen when things go wrong?
Single memory card for what? The LUMIX has twin cards.
I' switched back and forth to see the sony vs lumix image, sony is much better! Better colours, better autofocus and all of these are obvious inside this video 😇.
Autofocus perhaps is Sony's biggest strong point, they have nailed it and continue to improve it for sure. However the actual look and colour science, I have to again disagree. It is very nice and I have got amazing footage with it, but I feel more work is needed to achieve that. Whereas Lumix just looks more pleasing to me and their vlog is so much better to work with in post. It's all subjective though, there's no real right answer.
@@TheCreatorsBlock i will only say that ok, the color is mostly a personal preference and there is no standart on that, it is mostly based on personal preference. :)
Lumix fx3 form factor Gh6 or s5iix coming this fall? Autofocus is here to stay?Nice reel🎉Thank You
Ha! Yes that would be nice indeed!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊
I thought had G.A.S. , but after this story…
🤣
I shoot with all kind of cameras, from low level to high end all make the best of all. I dont know about this switching thing that yall famously do all the time.
It sounds ideal to me! 🤣 I wish i could afford to buy multiple setups! One day perhaps 🤔
I totally agree!
I have done the same thing. Had a black magic setup - swapped
It all for an fx3 and got the 24-70 gm ii - really didn’t like it.
I took it back and got an fx30 and a new black magic 6k full Frame on order.
I feel exactly the same way that you do about sony. Getting rid of the sony fx30 and swapping it for the lumix s5iix
Wow fx3 and the gm2! Was it worth it? How are you liking the S5iix?
I haven’t got it yet. Still got the fx30.
But I’m swapping it - im in the uk too and there’s an offer on for the lumix at the moment - trade in a body or lens you get 300 off and and the lumix 85 1.8 lens - would be stupid not to!
I didn’t really the Sony stuff. Lens was great but there’s just something missing. I know exactly what you’re talking about.
How do you find the menu system ???
Subbed :)
@@TheCreatorsBlock update!
Got my lumix and I feel exactly the same way as you. The image is stunning!! Nice to play with in post!!
Ha! Awesome! I'm glad you're enjoying it! Yeh there are some crazy offers with Lumix. I got mine with the 50mm, 20-60mm and 85mm for a ridiculous price. No other company does these types of offers.
Enjoy! And thanks for the support ☺️
Believe it or not... I have both 😭 can't seem to escape Sony or Panasonic so screw it have both! Great video anyway :)
Ha! Screw it, have both! 🤣 I like your style! Thanks much appreciated! 😊
I’m at 3 different system now, which having the camera is not bad, but when you have to start choosing lenses, it can make you cry😂. But I think I’m sticking with Sony for photos, and Panasonic for video.
colors are better definitely. autofocus works. what more do you need/want? Fujifilm s20?
Yeh it is a great system, quite underrated compared with Sony, Canon and Nikon. Fuji I haven't had any experience with to be honest, not sure they're for me.
Idk if this is true but AF on s5iix hunts a lot or does not track well?
I'm shooting on a Pentax k-70, been thinking about getting a Pentax K1 ii, but Now I'm considering a Panasonic S5 ii or S5 iix, sucks to be poor. I was also considering Sony for the Lens options and have also thought about a Nikon Z6 ii, thoughts?
Ha! Yes tell me about it! We’ve just had a baby and the financial struggle is real! So buying new gear is definitely not something I can do at the moment. I’m all spent! 🤣
Hopefully this RUclips channel gets monetised at some point to help out 😂 It’s expensive running a YT channel!
I’ve never tried Pentax if I’m honest so I couldn’t really compare. Although I don’t hear much about them so I assume they’re not one of the more successful brands?
So if you’re wanting to move away from Pentax, you can’t go wrong with either Sony or Lumix really. It depends on what your priorities are. Lumix are very video centric, so for photography they tend to be slower, less burst rates etc. Whereas Sony have a body for all different use cases. But Lumix do have better usability, body design, button placements and features in my opinion, especially for video and things like timelapse.
Nikon, erm yeh, they for some reason have never appealed to me at all. I feel they’re always behind, copying other brands and always being late to the party. But I think they do have great kit, but just not for me I don’t think.
What are your thoughts on Canon btw? I started with them obviously which is probably why I don’t particularly favour Nikon 🤣
But Canon have great gear too and seem to be inventing new stuff all the time and pushing new boundaries.
It all comes down to what you shoot really. Video, hands down Lumix or Sony. Photography Canon or Sony in my opinion.
Or both, then Lumix or Sony 🤣
I hope this helps!
I’m selling all my gear and getting Panasonic after watching this video !! lol jokes. But I kinda have the same problems. I bought Sony a6000, didn’t really like it but photos looked good so then I would the a7r3. Amazing camera but something I don’t like about it. Not sure what but ya menu and feel just not right. So tried Fuji. Then Sony again then. Then canon then Olympus. Got all Olympus then company went out of business haha. So not looking at paniboy since autofocus improved. Thinking about g9ii
Ha! That's quite the journey as well! Shame about Olympus. If you like M43 then the g9ii I hear is top of the class.
In Lumix S5IIX it's little be annoying start up, time from video end and play file. My joystick somtimes lag when i change focusing modes.
But i think Sony a7 S III has other similar problems?
Yes the start up time is a bit annoying. But I do find after the initial start up, any additional start ups tend to be much much quicker. It’s only if I leave it for a few hours without powering on that it takes time to get going. But yes, annoying nonetheless.
The Sony a7siii I still use on a daily basis for work and, yes, there have been quite a few issues. The main one being a complete shutdown after only 50% battery usage. Also failure to focus at all when using a flash trigger (not all the time, but it means I need to keep retrying the shutter to get the focus to lock, very annoying). So yeh even Sony is not perfect 😂
Just tell the wife its cheaper than buying vintage cars!!!!!!!! And it even better to have a backup body of the same model or just below when you have to have worst case senario option.
Thinking of also switching to the S5ii (or old S5?) from A7C, not for lack of image quality or anything but just ergonomics. Using the A7C is like wearing nice shoes that are a size too small, whereas i held the s5ii in store and it just felt right. Anyway, nice video - hope you really were joking about that a7v! 😂
😂 Nice shoes that are too small! I like it.
Yeh I know what you mean. I don’t enjoy using a camera that doesn’t have all the right ergonomics and button placements. And the s5ii does feel great in the hands, much nicer than any Sony I’ve held. I do think Canon have the best feeling cameras though. Just a shame they’re crippled in so many ways.
And yes I am joking about the a7v!… it’s all about the a7siv 😂😂😂
rumour has it that pentax is releasing a 8k full frame with 6k 240 mode.... sell up
at 18:00 - dafuq- i have questions
🤣 Oh yeh Pentax, forgot about them! 😂
Ha! Yeh 18:00 🤣 It's a forfeit for shanking the ball in golf 🤣
@@TheCreatorsBlock my first camera was a lumix fz50, then fz150, gh4, gh5s, gh6 and s5 with a few dji drones along the way
the s5ii doesnt have much of an upgrade over the og s5 to warrant an upgrade sadly..
Im waiting on the gh7 and s1h mk2 coming - hopefully the teething issues with the sensors and autofucus will be ironed out
if the s5ii haqd 4k 120 even with an aspc crop it would have warranted the upgrade but sadly its not for me.
The s5 will soldier on for another while but in fairness you did get the x which allows for ssd recording but you still need that video assist or ninja to do raw :/ which is more money and makes the setup too large... for most people 8 bit is more than enough
Yeh I must admit when the S5 came out I was very tempted, but I do really need decent autofocus, and having experienced it with the S1 it put me off. So now they have Phase detect they're now almost perfect in my opinion. If you don't need AF then yeh, stick with the S5 until they make a significant change. The S1h2 might be quite a camera when it's released!
Great review of just about everything! Thanks!
Thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
S5IIX this is da love
You ignored nikon and fuji. Pentax or Fuji medium format :P
I'm afraid if I explore the market any further it will cost me a wife 😂
Have an a7siii but picked up the s5iix a couple weeks ago and was convinced I was keeping it. Now I’m returning it tomorrow. There are numerous reasons to keep one over the other but I think I actually prefer the Sony image more.. but here I am watching this video not 100% sure I’m making the right decision 🫣
Exactly, everyone is different. There are so many amazing cameras on the market these days that you can't really go wrong with any, it's just about what fits you best. For me I'd rather have fun usability and design over the best features or specs.
But yeh, there is something about the S5iix that calls out to people 🤣
What makes you like the Sony images better?
@@gert-janschoenmakers3580 I don’t film with someone pulling focus and I think because the a7siii focus is so good that you can tweak it to look just like someone is pulling focus. Maybe it’s because I’ve used it so often that I know how it will react. Handheld shots just look and feel better which is how I film a lot. When using tap to focus with the s5iix I just found myself having to mess with the focus too much that it was hard to keep the composition in mind when doing so. The s5iix is definitely the cleaner and sharper image with better contrast but it just feels too clinical.. I think this comes down to personal preference for the most part. I guess I should have prefaced with video image, the LUMIX definitely takes better pictures but even there I like how the Sony responds. S5iix always felt a bit sluggish when changing settings. And in full manual mode it still wanted to show me properly exposed when in focus when I want a darker image. That forced me to use auto iso which I don’t hate but didn’t want to use. In the end it’s a lot of little stuff and think the camera is the best in that price range, by far.
@@gert-janschoenmakers3580 oh! Very important to add. I film a lot of cars and without having an anti aliasing filter there is a lot of unwanted fringing on car grills and front ends. That was what kinda sealed the deal on the return if I remember.
I don’t know why people don’t keep both brands. It is ok to have more then one brand. As long as we do it companies will continue to compete
Will check back with you in a year 😂
🤣🤣🤣
What camera do make this video?
Erm quite a few. But the first bit is the Sony a7siii then I switch to the LUMIX S5iiX. I do explain this in the video.

You don't need a "soul", if a robot does the job, it's fine. The problem with Sony is color, and some other minor things. But it's the easiest tool to get something done without too many problems. Also, one reason the s5ii footage is "better" in your video is that the Pansonic 24-105 f4 is not so clinically sharp and "ugly-for-humans" as the Sigma 24-70 DG DN f2.8. That's why most youtube "lens reviews" are simply stupid. I would not use their barrage of tests on clinical sharpness, color fringing, distortion etc., as almost EVERYTHING they test are really IRRELEVANT.
Nikon is calling you…
🤣 Never!! 🤣

@@tedcruzinusa It crops at 4k/60p and it cant do 120fps at 4k. So it doesnt have two 2 things I would want for sport and wildlife videography.

I wouldnt want the S7SIII, I had a sony camera in the past and for me the sony user interface is close to unusable, the panasonic interface also complex, but intuitive and easy to use, a real plus
What MFT you use ?
This was well done. Fun and entertaining to watch. While I only do photography - and did so professionally for a number of years - I felt so unbelievably satisfied when I finally graduated to the Canon 5D Mark IV. I got it in mid-2017, bought about $6K worth of off-camera lighting gear, and shot 50+ weddings, many events, senior photos that included hiking camera and lighting gear into the mountains, shot real estate, traveled with it around the world to probably 20 different countries, and never had the slightest hint of GAS while owning this beauty and top-of-the-line Canon lenses. Freaking amazing camera and I didn’t give a whit about the specs of any cameras released in the interim because I was able to create what I wanted to create and loved the aesthetics of my gear.
Now that I’m doing work in a completely different field, I didn’t need or want such large gear - especially for future travel - and all my research led me to buy an OM-5. I was straight up blown away at the image quality. The color science is beautiful (and I never thought I could like anything other than Canon color), and the noise performance of this little sensor spectacularly exceeds the Mark IV noise performance. Just wow.
BUT…. There were many other things that were difficult to adjust to, so I sent it back to Amazon and ordered an OM-1. Amazing AI (machine learning) tracking but the stupid thing can’t reliably focus on S-AF even in medium low light. If you buy an OM-1, buy it for moving subjects (or high-contrast stationary subjects in bright daylight).
Anyway, I sent it back and reordered the OM-5. Ugh!!! Thankfully it’s aesthetically pleasing. After the pain and time wasted selling off my lovely Canon gear and changing back and forth, I’ve decided I can live with my nitpicks of the OM-5. But I feel your pain. I was 100% satisfied with the Mark IV until my needs changed. I didn’t think it would or should be too hard to switch to another system and feel the same 100% satisfaction. But it can be so damn hard to find something that you love so much that you stop looking at other gear (for 6 years in my case when I had the Mark IV!!).
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! ☺️
Yes I feel your pain! Things were much simpler when we just had to choose between Canon and Nikon 🤣 The 5D was the ultimate goal, nothing else really mattered, so you'd just build up your lens arsenal in the hope that one day you could upgrade to the 5d and all was pretty simple.
Now there is far too much choice, far too much time spent on specs that don't really matter and less time spent on perfecting elements that do.
Anyway thanks again for the support and I hope you find peace with your OM system 😂
Bro do you still sell that 5D?
And, wow it did you great things. I never thought someone would say something is better than canon in color.
but the s5IIx is huge no? haha~
No it’s on par with the rest such as Sony or Canon. You’re thinking of their S1 line which are massive, like old DSLR massive. But their S5 range are small, no different to any other mirrorless camera.
Great video but all I could think about was how you are using the mic the wrong way round... you have it facing the floor
Yeh I’ve already been made aware. I thought it was from the top but it’s from the front. Ah well.
@@TheCreatorsBlock i've seen it many times so you are not alone :D oh and you forgot about Fujifilm!
I’m used to shotgun mics 😂
Ha! Yeh I haven’t tried Fuji yet! Probably sticking with LUMIX for a wile though to be fair.
Many thanks for the video! Of what I saw in your video is that the Sony a7siii looked sharper than the S5ii. Why is it? Wich of both cameras has the better dynamic range and rolling shutter in your opinion? Waiting for your response, best regards. Subscribed! :)
Thank you!
I think Sony’s are generally quite over sharpened which is probably why. Dynamic Range I would say is very similar, I don’t think I can choose one to be honest.
Rolling Shutter, the a7siii is brilliant at compensating for this in video. I think it has a much faster read out speed. Which is understandable considering it’s more of a flagship camera. But so far the S5iiX is doing well for rolling shutter but I don’t think I’ve put it to the test fully yet.
I hope that helps!
Impossible. The S5 ii supersamples 4K from the full 6K sensor. The Sony a7s iii is a simple 1:1 crop and thus after debayering is not even 4K.
The amount of money you spent you could have bought a RED with all the accessories.

@@TheCreatorsBlock i know. Chasing cameras is a nightmare these days. 10/13 years ago it was simple, you bought a Panasonic GH2 or a Canon 5D.
Exactly! Simpler times 😂
I was a Nikon D750 for 9 years shooting mainly 50fps 1080p, Ive now moved to the A7R5 with one lens, it's the Tamron 20-40mm. I shoot for social media accounts and event companies. I thought I was going to shoot 4K but have stayed at 1080p but now at 100fps. At first I didn't like the A7R5 because it was more complex than my D750, but now I love it, it's setup just right for me.
If I do move, it'll be for a Nikon Z8, because I like the idea of having a sensor cover and no shutter.
Yeh I still shoot mainly 1080p as well. However I am slowly moving towards 4k now, mainly because this S5ii I have is quite restricted with higher frame rates in 1080p, you lose all the new Phase detect AF. So thought I may as well see what 4k has to offer 😂
Yeh the Z8 does seem like a great camera!
