I had to sell my A7IV a few months ago due to a family emergency and I was devastated. It was my second camera, my first being a Panasonic GX85. Always missed my Panasonic, but loved my Sony's AF. Now, I feel like everything happened for a reason. I can finally go back to Panasonic again!
dam I feel that there been times I've felt I might have to sell my equipment
@toutsen @metareduxxx ... thanks for being so open ... I hope 2033 is full of creative highs for you! :) xXx
GX85 was my first camera & I still use it! Excellent crash cam or travel cam w/ amazing photos & 4k videos!
Hey man- Hope everything is okay with you family. Hope you get a great camera soon!
I hope your family is well!
Lumix S5 shooter here. To lock the focus on the face, you need to click on the box once it detects the face. Once you do that, you'll notice the AF box now has 4 crosshairs on each side. This confirms the AF lock on the face. Just an FYI for anyone wondering why the focus was shifting away from his face towards the end.
Cheers!
Literally saw your comment before I watched the video and now that I'm in that part of the video thanks for sharing because I was like wtf noooooo ruins camera
First time I actually think a Panasonic could replace my Sony. Good low light, autofocus and stabilisation combined is a dream.
Right??
Also better settings, like shutter angle
no 4k 120fps
@@markthomas8018 Thats a specific usecase. Most filmmakers dont need it. But yeah if you just shoot sports or something similar...
@@Milan-cf1xe 4k120 is not really an issue for me but having the option to do 1080p 240fps is a godsend on the FX3. I love the open gate, shutter angle, mroe usable second base ISO, and EVF on the S5II/S5IIX. All these are things I wished the FX3 had but full-sensor 4k120 and 1080p 240fps with AF is such a game-changer. It opens up so many ways for shooting b-roll for my use case.
that auto focus UI is pretty slick
I'm so impressed with the focus ! Well done Panasonic, this has been a long time coming but well worth the wait and a welcome change.
Damn, I was almost 95% set on getting an FX30, but this seems like such bang for the buck, especially considering I can get away with not buying a gimbal for steady shots
I also plan to get the fx30, but the S5ii has made me changed my mind. I want a camera with ibis almost like a gimbal, good in low light and good autofocus
Get the FX30 if: you prefer S35, you need TC, or you need to work with other Sony shooters
Otherwise, the Panasonic S5mk2 is better in every way!
get the Sony FX30 if you work with people using Sony stuff. If working with talented people instead, get the Pansonic
i had a r5c in the cart about to check out lol
I don't know, the wobbling of the Ibis and the rolling shutter knocks me off a bit. But on the other hand... theres no camera on the market, that gives so much value. I hope, the release-version gets the rolling shutter right. Maybe with the X version.
Yaaaay, first vid for 2023!
Thsi channel has been a HUGE part of my 2022, looking forward to enjoy more of your vids Gene this year 🥳🥳
glad to see Panasonic coming back with some big hitting features
Phase detect! This is the one thing that stifled Panasonic from competing with Sony and Canon for video. I feel like they were ahead of everyone with 4K 60, no record limits, 10-bit video, & industry-leading IBIS with the GH5. And after taking so long to finally change, they’re now playing catch-up. But I think they are the leaders in video innovation and have an opportunity to really compete again. I have been rooting for them and after the GH6 still with the old contrast-based auto-focus wondered if they were just stubborn to their own demise. Very glad to see they finally adjusted!
Nice Gene, you’re videos are always the first that I watch when a new camera is released, glad that you review this one as well :)
3:48 I love those stairs, one of my favorite places to take photos when I’m in town
I’d love a series from you focused on all things cinema- behind-the-scenes kind of stuff. I enjoy all you do! Best of luck with the new coffee shop, too!
Panasonic has come such a long way over the past 10 years!
They have been making pro ENG cameras for years. I used to shoot with a DVC PRO camera about twenty years ago in the 4/3 days and it was a super reliable camera that never missed a beat travelling the world shooting docos.
You're acting like they weren't the first company to ever make 4k on a mirrorless body. First to bring 10 bit 4:2:2 outside of cine cams as well. The Gh4 and gh5 ran the industry. If anything, they've come such a long way now over the past 3-4 years, where they fell off temporarily.
I'm all for companies that put amazing features in the hands of filmmakers without breaking the bank...that's why I'm a Pany and Black Magic fan. Definitely buying the S5mkii x to pair up with my current S5. Cant move away from the image quality and colour science.
Awesome review Gene!! Congrats Lumix!
I use the S5 for all of my videos and I’m jealous. This Phase Autofocus is king on the S5 Mk. II. Very slick.
what a SOLID video, it might be the most well made video from Potato Jet for real! makes me wanna film something cool!
Mega! I’ve just bought an S5 and it’s a beast, not enough here yet for me to pay the extra to get what you get but no doubt a great upgrade if I needed it.
Great video as always fella ❤
Panasonic always had the best video features with the best LOG profile and color science. Their biggest crutch had always been their auto focus system, but holy cow does their new hybrid phase detect look great! Currently have the S5 right now, but trading it in for the S5 II X as soon as it comes out. Panasonic's price point are always top notch.
V-log >
S5 II X launch is end May.
So many people "trading it in". I'm guessing you just sell it and take a loss on it? In canada I bought it for $3000. There's no way I'd get anything close to that if I were to sell. Does no one care lol?
It seems the last few months have been a good time for autofocus. First Fuji with their X-H2s blowing last Nikon, Canon, etc., only stopping short of Sony. And now Panasonic blowing past even them, and on full-frame, stopping even shorter of Sony.
I really wanted to upgrade my Fuji X-T3 this year. First to a BMD 6K Pro, then the X-H2, now I have to re-evaluate again and might have to pivot to the S5II or S5IIX. Darn, is it a good time for cameras at around 2000-2500€.
And another biggest crutch nobody seems to be talking about is their rolling shutter performance
Been thinking about the original S5 but this comes out with better AF, and I'm more stoked than ever! This is THE camera I am getting next now.
Been using the EOS R for years and was saving for the FX3 but for my needs, this changes everything. I never even considered Panasonic but seeing how it performs against Sony, and for a much better price, I'd be more than happy with this.
Very tempting to upgrade from the original S5, Great vid again potato!
I'm really exited about this. Seeing how much better the S1 has gotten with firmware updates makes me think that AF is going to be insane in a couple years.
6:13 Thank you for showing how this camera is. This seems like a valid contender now as it has phase auto focus.
The light flicker thing is neat.
Dude, this makes me so happy. I love my S5, but was debating switching over to Sony for my weddings. It’s a good day!
1 MILL subs! Congrats!!!
Finally, some competition for sony and canon. Who needs 10k 200fps if there's good colors, good focus, good dynamic range and good stabe!
Yet again another cracking video.
Thanks for your time.
Fantastic review as always Gene. As you said, needs some improvements. Wishing you and your team a very happy new year. :)
loved this video man...nice to see someone having fun whilst doing what they love ...liked and subscribed :-)
Syncro Scan, I think you are the first to call that out in the reviews I have been watching. (im watching them all) Love that they added that.
Finally! This looks really solid
Damn this is crazy, I remember when you only had 12 thousand subscribers. Congrats
best review of everyone
Got the most information off you. thanks for your effort.
I love watching your videos, educational with touch of comedy.
Another superbly useful review!
Auto focus seems good. Great video, and thanks for sharing.
Finally the perfect camera is here
Great video and I certainly enjoy the lumix user interface and customization of the function buttons for quick access. Looking forward for more content on the S5II
👆👆📩🎁🎁🥳👆👆...
...
Footage looks luscious. Good video, thanks.
Appreciate what this camera is, knowing where the industry was just 10 years ago.
Really excited for Panasonic's future as a user of the S5.
TONY NORTHRUP def saw the Bokeh Blink. He was bummed about it. Great video Jet!
I was thinking of buying a Sony a7iv as an update to my gh5, but this is making me reconsider… great video 😊
I used the GH5s for a number of years. Something that had always baffled me was that subject detection and subject tracking are so good but it never actually manages to focus on the subject that it is tracking especially at 1080p VLog. There are ways to work around it but it meant that you can't really put it on something like a gimbal without someone helping to pull focus which is a no go for a lot of the jobs I was on. Glad to see that this new camera is at least on par with other cameras in its price range.
Also, does Gene have some sort of temperature regulation system built into his body? Sunny as all heck, he gets greasy at most. A cold day and everyone is in at least a sweater, he's in a t-shirt.
Wow... Such a nice budget-ish option. Between the body's price and the storage, it can be a VERRRRY competitive all-in-one photo/video camera, for instance for travel, if you don't want to log around your main body
Great video. Recently switched to S5ii from Sony a7C and a7R4. Absolutely LOVE it. One thing I miss tho from Sony, is the Super35 Crop applicable to Photo mode as well, enabling me to reach 1.5 or more times the focal length of my lenses... Now I have to buy an additional lense to cover way previous range...
Just throwing this out there...Sigma makes a 14-24 f/2.8 zoom and a 16-28 f/2.8 zoom for L mount. Could be good combos with the S5ii.
Yes, of course, their House can wait. I need to watch the video first. Glad you made the video.
I’m more than happy with my S5. Including the auto focusing.
finally some good autofocus on a panesonic camera! I always preferred the Panasonic V-LOG colors over any other camera (but canon is still better), so this camera is finally a game changer now
Cool review, nice spots. Thanks and happy new year from Frankfurt am Main/Germany, Daniel
This is a great camera for good cinematic vlogs, its really good and amazing.
Panasonic has always been good at keeping videographer in mind when it come to their products
That's just about it. Panasonic is more video oriented I appreciate that being a Sony owner. But Sony tackles both photography and cinematography...it's Sony they have standards in TV and motion picture movies aka Columbia Pictures. Panasonic has that as well but not as much extend what Sony is doing.
The Associated Press chose Sony as their camera and lens supplier worldwide.
Either way there's good choices for consumers let's not be fanboys too much and enjoy creating photography and video with whatever camera we have, sooner or later camera phones will overtake them but hey Sony has got that covered too with Xperia which I hope they continue to develop and get better at it.
I sold my S5 recently purely off of the autofocus, but I LOVED the camera. I now have an FX30, but definitely picking this camera up in the future.
Dude sameeeee. Loving the FX30 so far but the S5 had everything I needed minus autofocus. Definitely should’ve waited it out honestly
@@justinharper5844 EXACTLY 😭 😭 😂
Same
So should I get this or the fx30 🤔
@@justinharper5844^
First-rate presentation, thanks. I'm low end, strictly amateur, and hope to one day see an affordable entry-level cropped sensor camera that has the great Panasonic IBIS + Sony AF. Good to see Panasonic finally moving beyond the DFD system, though from what I've seen on YT it's not all the way there yet.
A7siii price was out of range & it never dropped. I guess I will have to take a good hard look at this camera & consider it over Sony.
Another banger, great job
Gene rolling on the spudcart of wonder. Can't wait for him to put a remote following unit to it
Sweet walk through PJ!
This camera is perfect!
holy hell this camera just took over my whole subscriptions feed (embargo mustve just been lifted) don't worry i choose you potato lol
Same, Potato was my first choice.
SONY FOR LIFE, but Potato is going to make me get a cart. I love that cart rig.
jesus this camera is a beast
If I weren't already knee deep in Sony, I would get this. Great camera and great value
hope it dropping a little on the price, still insane how good. thank you for the video you always make em soo entertaining while giving all the information's.
You hit it on the money saying Panasonic is more cinema based over photos. If I was getting a new system, I'd definitely take this over a Sony just for the fact it has a waveform to get proper exposure. All this is missing is an internal ND filter and it would give blackmagic some competition. Keep it up man.
I was wondering what happened to this channel great to see it’s still going strong
Aww man, have the S5 so tempted to upgrade just for that auto-focus!
The last 5m of this video when you were sitting down talking, the color looks soooo good. I'm sure if it's a sony a74 recording, it would not look as good.
S5ii is a beast 🔥
I’m literally eating chipotle and watching this video😂very thorough video, love it
I loved Panasonic.. Moved to Sony, and haven't looked back since. But this does look kind of interesting.
Wow, love the price point for this. I'm investing in Sony gear right now, but have always been interested in Panasonic.
I think I am going to grab this. I was on the fence about grabbing the previous s5 because of autofocus. But being able to grab this, and some SURUI anamorphic lenses for it. Use the lenses on the s5 and also maybe a sigma FP as a cheap B camera. Yeah, this is the system to be with in 2023 imo.
Love the Lefty shirt ! The camera is good too but I prefer the shirt !
great review NICE!!
The great thing is that Panasonic will improve it even more with updates 🙌
Looks pretty solid!
You’re so close to 1 million followers ❤
The review I needed! I have been doing more youtube and looking at selling my S1H for the S5iix.
Looking forward to this, thanks for the review on this. You are truly lucky.
Question: will the S5 cage fit the new s5ii looks pretty much the same size.
I love my S5 Mi. Love it. My canon just collects dust sense I got it
this new release by Panasonic may only mean one thing: the next GH7 will have Phase Autofocus
Shutter angle is huge for this camera! Sorely missed in my Sony A7IV.
Amazing! All we need now is internal ND and then you don't need anything else for run and gun!
i bought the s5 mk II because of your review !!
How are you liking the s5hiix so far?
I was 2 minutes away from buying the a7siii, after WEEKS of research. Then I watched this video and Im going for this one. $1,000 cheaper and looks just the same if not better. THANKS
Potato you should do a video showing what you use for your editing set up. Ex: keyboard, storage, audio hardware, monitor, etc... Or what you would suggest for professional use on big films. Not beginners.
Another fantastic video! Might be time to finally upgrade from the GH5 🤣
The S5 was already a good upgrade. This is even better. I also have a GH6 for all that glass tho!
@@marklondon8793how is gh6 autofocus ?
@@PVMMAC Its fine. Better than the GH5, not as good as the new S5II or Canon/Sony.
i have the gh5 too and the s5II is like a dream come true for us
As a gh5 shooter since 2017, upgrading to the S5ii was the best decision I could have made.
A great camera to start 2023
Brilliant video mate 👍🏻 Panasonic please make an adapter so that all my expensive MFT Pro glass will fit the L-mount system - then I’ll 100% upgrade my GH5 II to the S5 IIX. Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺
Nice video The camera is look'n good overall. 9:35 glad to see Panasonic solved their biggest issue!
I see some Leica colors,
It looks amazing!! The new AF is great too.
Yummy, S5ii so dope, and I'm gonna guess that the 'X' variation is just a beautifully iced cake. Great video. Saving up 2K right now 🤣
Im so glad i did not buy the first gen of the s5, i just had a feeling that they would try to fix the mistakes as fast as posssible, im pretty sure the s5ii will be my first full frame camera i bought my canon m50 back in august 2021 so im pretty hyped to finally make the jump to something more professionell, lets create stuff and have fun everyone, have a great year
I did jump the gun on an original S5 back in 2020, but ooh man the mark ii version looks like an amazing upgrade.
👆👆📩🎁🎁🥳👆👆...
Bought S5 month ago so just returned it to switch to this. No brainer in the age of streaming to have a camera with a fan for unlimited record time and cooling.
I was about to hop on the Sony train from Fuji, especially with the release of the fx30 but man…this cameras KILLER
Ya and the colors are much nicer on the Panasonic too 👍🏽but my all time favorite thing that the panasonic has over all the other competing companies is that insane ibis!! Super game changer. Especially in the full frame world
@@akyerit Agreed, their ibis is top tier!! I tend to do a lot more run-and-gun shooting and have a slight tremor so any help I can get ibis-wise is much appreciated haha
@@roanlo1213 well I guess there’s your answer then aye? For me I need a hybrid photo/video camera. And this ticks more than all the boxes now at this point. Like I’ll be able to grow in it even. I was already super psyched about the original s5 and now this new release has seriously blown my top off 🤯
Bought the original s5 3 weeks ago…. THANK GOD for extended holiday return, I’ll be back at the store tomorrow morning for this upgrade 😂

I love the Kondor Blue cage. Blows the SmallRig cage away, lol.💥
