Duuuuude. How come I never found your channel sooner? I'll follow your channel for all my camera news and tutorial as well updates. You go straight to the point, no qualms, no shenanigans, no marketing PR stunt for any camera company!
Your Lumix 5M2 video won me over and actually changed my purchase decision! Thanks man!
I've been rocking the Lumix S5 ever since switching from Sony. Now that we have autofocus it's making me a stronger believer in Panasonic and overall staying with them.
It’s a great system
Panasonics beliefs and values are the whole reason I chose Lumix over Sony. While yes their continuous autofocus wasn’t great in video, photos was fine except for sports which I don’t shoot, their cameras just work and built extremely well. I was trained in Cinema filmmaking so I’ve always manually focused anyway. The issue has arisen recently for me though as I have been doing more gimbal work where I can’t manually focus so autofocus has become more important so this new S5i has come at a perfect time for me!
When I was deciding I was tossing up the GH5 and the A6500 (the A7iii didn’t exist yet) and the fact the a6500 and all other sony cameras at the time had the tendency to overheat while no one seemingly could get the GH5 to overheat was the core reason in the end.
To me a tool that will irregularly overheat, meaning you can’t predict how much time you have using it, is useless and I could not justify buying a tool that is useless.
That philosophy Lumix has carry’s over into everything they do. They build them all with amazing stabilisation, always good touch displays, even their cheap Gx9 has a better back screen than the A7iii, their lenses are usually breathing compensated, IN THE LENS, not dealt with in software. They roll out powerful updates regularly and push cameras to be even better years down the line.
All these things shout to me a company that cares about their cameras and their consumers. And now they have PDAF, they have become easily one of the biggest camera manufacturers to keep an eye on. I hope they’re successful because we need Lumix to push innovation in the industry!
Love the energy! Thanks for reminding us to be thankful for our life! I've been using the lx100 since 2017 and plan to upgrade to the s5ii can't wait!
**UPDATE - THIS IS A BSI SENSOR, IDK WHAT I WAS THINKING LOL. MY BAD! Also, for you guys saying I tested some parts of the AF wrong, I MIGHT HAVE! I am not perfect lol. What I can tell you, is this is a good af system, HOWEVER, I still find Sony/Canon BETTER. I loved that Panasonic is committed to continuing to try to improve the AF and the stabilization (wobble). My biggest gripe with the AF is EVEN IF I DID GOOF WITH THE TEST, other brands eliminate the guesswork for autofocus (Sony a7iv just nails it). I don't want to need to whip out a manual to learn when and where I should use a specific af setting!**
What up fam!! Alright, listen, Panasonic invited me out to test out the new #LUMIX #S5II and I can't lie, at a price point of $2000, these other full frame cameras are in trouble, including MAYBE, my beloved Sony #A7IV! I REALLY LIKE THIS CAMERA!!

Don't forget to pin your info comment to the top brother
They must have forgot to send me an invite 😢 lost in the mail... Love the video my bro
Clearly it got lost in the mail bro lol
I was just wondering how you werent invited..
just bought it yesterday and I tested just a short test shot and I'm impressed - can't wait to use it on a full video
“Nikon - I don’t even know if they make cameras” bro I nearly spit out my drink 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
@@TerryWarfield Now that was funny!
I love my A7iv. That being said, I would have bought this if it were around at the time of my Sony purchase. How Panasonic is selling this for $2k is wild lol
It’s a crazy deal. The a7iv is still a monster and better in a lot of ways. Next video is comparing the two
Same. But i've invested in GM lenses and i'm pretty sure Sony will either add or improve some features with firmware updates or add them to their next a7 camera. I'm used to slog3 now and the latest color science is great as well. I like the panasonic ibis since gh5 but the a7iv can shoot stable enough for my needs and ik like to use gimballs. Sony had some nice deals since black friday and panasonic was missing out.
The one thing I really miss on my A7IV is the 3:2 video mode.
That is a killer feature when shooting content for clients that wants both 16:9 and 9:16
Appreciate the review man! Us S5 users knew that it was just a competent AF system away from being the best value camera on the market. They just put a lot of thought into videographers when it comes to ergonomics and features. And the great thing is it doesn't take away from the camera's photo capabilities as you mentioned. I'm looking forward to seeing how they build out the rest of their full-frame lineup. Their S1H and S1R/S1 successors could be really intriguing.
Awesome to the point video. The pannyboy's footage looks so much nicer than my A7IV. I'm definitely lurking the X release.
TST keepin it real sharing both the good, the bad, the ugly and every disclaimer! I’ll probably be waiting for the S5iiX to come out and will probably get that to finally update to a modern camera system.
Amazing Video Terry... You made me want to BUY 2 of these.... you made me a believer~!~!
I heard that you need to make sure, human detection is set instead of face detection which is basically only meant for portrait type shots, while human detection should work even in the distance.
at 6:15 it's quite clear, the AF has been set to Face/Eye, so it will lose focus whenever you turn.
Human detection will fix it.
Maybe Panasonic should rename the mode to: Face/Eye Only, to avoid confusion.
8:35 super annoying, the GH6 does the same.
Bro I just bought this today
Vistek in Toronto
Should be here in 1-2 weeks
I'm super stoked
Great review
#FAM I have to admit, when I saw you in the background of another YT review of this camera, I've been waiting for your honest opinion on the S5II. I've never personally used the LUMIX range of cameras, and my brother is looking to switch from Canon DSLR to Mirrorless, but we wanted to have 2 different brands in our collection, so seeing this review, I'll send it to him now, and see if the S5IIX takes his fancy. Thankful as always for the day, and Happy 2023 Terry.
I'm impressed with this no holds bar review! It really dives into what he doesn't and how it can be improved.
Thank you for the review. Awesome deal
I started with panasonic its awesome to see what they did. Ive actually been using af a lot with the s5 and s1 and to me the fact that this is a lot better im more than happy about it
Thanks for reviewing the S5ii! It really helps me knowing you’ve really had time with the r6ii and a7iv (and a7rV). May 2023 be an awesome year for you and your fam!
My next camera! Thanks for the video mate!
Nice video bruh… I have the S1R and I got my wife the original S5 (because I didn’t know when the A7IV was gonna come out). It’s nice to see this overview from a Sony heavy user (which I also am). I’m looking forward to their higher end models but the S5II X seems interesting at least.
Thank you for a frank assessment of the S5II and thanks for mentioning photography! Others have mentioned a little trouble with video AF in backlit situations. I’m hoping firmware updates will bring improvements to the AF. I’m wondering if Panasonic is holding back a bit on 4K/60 and 6K for a new S1 camera. We have to remember the S5 isn’t a flagship. Good review.
Autofocus test are the best. Terry running them patterns on the porch. Getting ready for his NFL debut.
Hey mate - love your review - and energy!
Excelent work! I like your style📽️👌
The improvement that panasonic did for the wable is basically from 20mm onwards, Jerald undone (if im not miataken) tested it and it works.
But great review, you always keep it real. I preordered the S5IIx, can't wait to get it in June, and see your reviews about it too 🙌🏾
Even after the latest update there is stilll some wobble. It’s just less
Man I’m so invested in Sony and Sony glass (A7siii user) but having just started getting into anamorphics and loving them that open gate is really where it’s at. If this let you do open gate @60 full frame I’d jump ship . I wish Sony would give us open gate!
Great summery! Thanks for the info!
Very onest review! Great job! That camera is awesome!
It’s been a while since I heard you say aye you didn’t have to have that love that saying freaking nailed it 👉🏾
I'm gonna get the S5iiX. It's the one I've been waiting for.
Thanks for the video Terry! I’ve been looking to expand my video shooting but I’m still looking for a camera that is weather sealed for street work. This looks like it checks all the boxes and with all the lenses I shoot I’m still come in cheaper than a A7R5. I’ll still keep my A7R3 for stills and use the Pani for video and street work.
@TerryWarfield You have to switch the AF mode to Human detect. That's the best recommended settings. Try it and see for yourself.
Good review! I can't wait to replace my S5 with the S5 II
Good review man! Will be great to see autofocus performance in the low light. Is it par to R6 at least? I mostly interested in photo autofocus low-light performance.
Great review! Very balanced review for sure. Wish we’d had chance to say hi in Tokyo I love your videos!! - Emily 📸
Thanks Emily!
i like the new arm-focus...from your eyes automaticly to the arm..stunning 🤣
One thing that Richard Wong showed is the rear screen is noticeably brighter outdoors than the R6 II and A74. You could hardly see the A74 screen compared to the S5 II.
Yo!!! This was an awesome lengthy review!!! I’m a Sony girl, but it’s 2023 of course there is going to be other companies giving Sony a run for their money! 😂 Keep up the great work Terry! 💯💪🏽
I have had the S5 since it came out and I love it. AF and a terribly laggy screen in low light have been my only gripes. I may upgrade it, but I am waiting to see what the S1 series come out with.
Bro the new s1 with phase detect?? I just passed out thinking about it lol
Literally in the same shoes. Waiting for S1. 4K60 cropped in 2023 shouldn’t be a thing for me personally so I’m sure they’ll remove that limitation for S1
In my country there are a lots of grey importers, so i can buy sony a7siii for 300-600$ more than lumix s5 mark one... huge crop on 4k 60 is kinda sad news... What should i buy?
4:17 you been in the game longer than me but the in camera stabilization makes it a comfortable balance for the no auto stabilization.. I came up under an “everything should be manual” type of mindset so no autofocus has never really been a concern
I’ve been rooting for Panasonic since the GH5 to step up their game with reliable auto-focus. They were ahead of others with 4K 60, no record limit, 10-bit video, exceptional IBIS, great video tools, etc. but that darn auto-focus…they’re definitely playing catch-up now, but I still think they are currently the leaders with video innovation. Can’t wait to see how they keep improving!
Agreed!
Since I left Panasonic for Sony I started doing 10x better projects 🤷 digital look of their cropped sensors of G/GH series were terrible + missing Phase Detection AF was pain in the *ss. So happy I left them for Sony. Sorry not sorry!
@@CHTFilms Congrats on your success!
would the af perform better at the patio scene around 6 min if you used the recomended human detection mode and not the face/eye detection it looks that you are using?
This may be Panasonic’s gateway camera, and a sign of what’s to come in the near future. If this is what the company is offering at $2000, what are they going to put in the LUMIX S1H2 or an S1R2? The day this camera was launched, I had so many conversations about it with other photographers, but none of us own a Panasonic S camera. The S5 MKII is really hard to beat at that price. I can sell all my Canon gear, buy two S5II with lens and still have enough money left over. Great video T!
Can you please check the autofocus in 1080 50p? They say there is no PDAF in 1080 50p as it switches to DFD in 1080 50p.
Great video man. Thanks.
Thanks for watching.
Nice video like always. But 1 thing is missing from the price points. I used the s5 for a year. I loved that machine. Can't say a bad word except the focus. Than bought the a7 IV right after they opened pre-order for 1 big reason. Body price on Pana side beat everybody on the market but the lenses dude. If you want a good focus lens you can't get third-party lenses like Tamron, sigma ect. They dont have auto focus with Pana at all. We are talking around 1500-2500$ / glass against Sony 500-1500$ third-party glasses. To be honest for a lot of user don't need those Pro L- mount lenses or G series lenses. That's why I decided to go forward with Sony. In the future if I need a new body I already saved the money for the fx3 ect just from the lenses. And to be true those lenses are beasts.
The s5ii with the mc21 adapter supports caf now for ef lenses. With the new focus system, more (adapted) lenses will support caf for video and stills.
Sigma is partners with Panasonic and Leica on the lens mount. You can buy Sigma L mount lenses to use on the Panasonic.
@@MichaelSchagen as I said I loved my Pana. Hopefully they will work smooth together this time. With the normal s5 they were terrible.
I've been contemplating and saving up to move to all Sony... but man..... I've been grinding with the gh5!
Nice video ! I didn’t recognize you in Tokyo !? 😂
Hi, great test. I want to switch from 4/3 to full size. I do mainly photography (proxy, macro, portrait, landscape). What references would you advise me please. Thank you by avance to take the time to answer me
I was waiting on this Perspective from a fellow a7iv user. Salut T Dubb
🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
I already made my preorder and my Sony gear are in Marketplace right now.
18:33 thanks for sharing the wierd limitations these cameras have. in that price range they all have something like this, but I like knowing this before buying it, that's so frustrating. (having no PDAF at 1080p100 is another one).
It’s always the little small nuance stuff that causes the biggest issues
Do you think they eliminated PDAF at highest frame rates just to make you mad? Implementing these things have costs and compromises. Would you be willing to pay for THOSE? Maybe it's just a firmware update and they haven't had time to code for it. Panasonic has a reputation for maximizing their hardware with firmware as the technology allows. Be patient.
@@HGQjazz lol two complete opposite arguments in the same comment. If you ask me, I think it's a hardware/ processing power limitation, and i'd be happy to pay a little more for more features, but I have no idea how much it'd cost , the engineers do, and they probably made the choice for a reason. All I was saying is that it's good to hear someone talk about this, instead of watching 20 "reviews" and discovering this on the first day you get the camera...
from what I understand from many tutorials about the Lumix S5 II - there may still be a very serious defect that not many people talk about or consider, and it is that the wheel at the top right, which is used to change exposure times, well it is very easy to move it inadvertently with the palm of the hand, because I repeat it is a defect that is pre-existing on all Lumix cameras, because I repeat the time wheel is too close to the palm of the hand, and it is too sensitive to move and that inadvertently changes the exposure times and you realize it only after you've taken the photo. I believe that this wheel should have a manual analog fixing so to unlock or lock the exposure times you have to voluntarily intervene more forcefully on the wheel that changes them. and another defect that no one talks about is that even if we have the manual and external wheel to change from AFS to AFC, however, we still have to go inside the menu to make it truly active and so what is the point of having these two settings to get the result of to have a fast speed to switch from AFS to AFC when it would be more than enough to have only the external wheel that quickly lets us switch from AFS to AFC. Since I translated everything I wrote with the Google translator well I hope RUclips does not consider it Spam and does show my comment - I'm Italian and even if I speak good English, but the google translator helps me a lot but when you copy and paste from the google translator and post a comment in a RUclips video well RUclips doesn't show it and this is Such a pity. Great Review.
Agreed. It’s very annoying and I forgot to mention it. It needs a lock in it
@@TerryWarfield Thanks Terry to agree with me
Terry dope vid. I'm rock the A7IV too but I'm still new to the camera game. How do you get your video to be so clear? What IRE do you target for you skin?
When doing the running around AF tests, were you using human detection or just the head/eye?
Glad that you like this full frame camera, but nope, size and weight matter hugely when I travel, and the APSC Sony A6600 and small lightweight lenses are what I need considering baggage issues
Nice camera. The G7 was my first camera. But I still love my Sony cameras
Same but great to see Panny kicking doors down
Good video fam! I feel your excitement lol
New cameras get me hyyyyyyped
@@TerryWarfield I have the S5 and the autofocus (lack of) made me feel like I made a bad decision switching from Canon, but now thooo…. I’m waiting on S5iix. I’m having dreams about it bruh 😂😂
All facts. I really like Panasonic form factor. Body wise I think they make the best cameras but the Auto-focus was always a let down.
Out of camera video looked amazing. Would have fooled me that is wasn't color graded.
The camera is not the only important piece. I have a Sony a7c and i am very happy. You need to add wide and telephoto lenses, professional flash, good memory card, bluetooth remote, smallrig cage, bag. (I still need a small travel gimbal). The entire set is what give you the quality photo and video. Camera tech will always improve each year. It gives you great picture and movie it is reliable and does not overheat and have great autofocus. . It is compact and with a cage allow multiple add on with the same weight total than a bigger a7rv or a1 but far less expensive.. Photo are great, HLG movie are great, color science is very good. Stabilization is good for photo and static video. Gyro stabilization is good. For more motion video by increasing the shutter soeed. Adding a small travel gimbal and the kit would be perfect. natural with flash photo are great. The grip is shallow? No problem add a smallrig 3212 cage brings you great handle and you can add many more handles. Also the added weight total helps in the stabilization of videos. It helps a lot. Adding weight is key to get more stable footage. You must forget the specs at one point and just enjoy what you have. The key is buying some quality component that are very good, reliable.
Welcome to the dark side 😈😈, we been waiting. I love when people new to panny realize all of the little things that make us love it so much. The intuitive button layout, menu systems, ergonomics, the sheer amount of features that are just crammed into even their entry level ones. They don't pull any punches in providing value and listening to their customers with firmware updates.
With the release of the S5, they went and buffed a TON of stuff on the S1 via firmware to make it a higher end camera in a lot of ways vs the s5 so they wouldn't alienate an entire part of their audience by making the S1 obsolete with the release of the cheaper, smaller S5. That's the kinda stuff we love them for.
Watching your footage on the AF, the times it failed you had moved the AF window to somewhere you wasn't in. If you see it even says on the screen to press the menu button to return. That would then re-enable the tracking modes which you say couldn't find you (because they had been overridden).
Even if I did goof, the system needs work. It’s good, but it’s for sure not flawless. I shouldn’t have to tell it what to do. Competing systems just handle it
@@TerryWarfield No, it's no different to if you used touch focus on a Sony A7IV. The difference here is that on Lumix systems you don't need to press a tiny button to activate that, it will do it by tapping anywhere on the display and will then give you a box to move around.
If you come off of that, it goes back to the usual human tracking which would have then picked up your body/face.
The system works really well, it's just a different way to how Sony does it
Hi, I think that was a fair review ( I'm a first time viewer). I'm surprised at the number of people on here that seem to see it as being over positive towards the Lumix. If anything, I thought your review made it clear that you felt that Sony had the edge at the price.
I just posted my 1 year review of the a7iv. I still think overall (camera and ecosystem combined) it’s the better choice, but as a stand alone camera the s5ii is the best value out these in mid tier full frame. It’s a beast for the money!!
A worthy upgrade from my Gh5s from Pany, didn’t think it would happen
😎Bro, I’ve always said that Them Panni Boys held the keys to the game...all they needed was that autofocus and they would close the gap and TAKE THE LEAD!!
We up!!
autofocus aside, the footage is fire!! this video was extra crisp!
Thank you!
The colors in this video are amazing. Which color profile did you use? Did you color grading?
Standard profile. I just remove the blue and green tones out of my a-roll shot
They flew you to Tokyo? wow. Did not hear that from the others that talked about the camera. (I have not watched that many. That is some heave budget
The thing about Panasonic is that they will constantly provide updates to their cameras and even add features later on. I’ve been wanting a reason to leave micro four thirds and go to full frame with the L mount that way I can later buy a Leica SL2 and still be able to use the same lenses.
I guess it’s time to sell my Lumix G9 and lenses. $2k is insanely good for what you’re getting and I’m mainly a stills shooter so the new image engine that’s developed in collaboration with Leica looks super nice. Not exactly like they’re on my Leica M10 but they look so good! I love the look, it’s gives a unique enough look to the images to stand out from the Sony and canon images while still not trying to look like Leica images. I think Panasonic and Leica found a good middle ground in the image engine where Panasonic can benefit from Leica’s experience while still not endangering Leica’s potential sales if that makes sense. The images look great if not better than ever and really stand out but still don’t have the signature Leica look that I get in my Leica M10.
This was an overall very informative video and honestly I think I’m sold. It checks my criteria: Lumix L mount, Full Frame, Phase detect, lots of video features to use when I want them, reasonably priced, and lovely looking images! I’m very much sold, and look forward to using it. I’ll be putting up my micro four thirds kit up for sale soon and preorder from B&H or Adorama. Great video man and thanks for all the info!
It's worth considering that PDAF will likely come to GH6mk2 along with the improved algorithm for IS and possibly a stacked sensor making m43 mount a viable video contender imo. I'm also considering a switch from m43 to this, but I'm not terribly invested in lenses.
@@spaceghostcqc2137 you got high hopes, I admire that. But that won’t happen anytime soon. They still have to release a G9 successor, no way they made a 25MP sensor only to put it on a video centric camera in the GH6. Video doesn’t need 25MP so they got a G9 successor planned to release. That will have to come first, and it’s still too soon for a GH6 II.
@@danny_r27 The G9 does seem more ripe for upgrade, but the GH6 + 9mm lens was as low as 1400usd this past season so I perceive a chance for early transition now that PDAF is available. Don't forget that it was less than a year between GH5 mkii and GH6.
@@spaceghostcqc2137 the GH5 Mark IIs only significant upgrades were G9 levels of AF and IBIS. The G9 was released in very early 2018, it’s the one due for an upgrade before the video centric GH6. So you all will be waiting as a G9 successor is more likely to happen before a GH6 Mark II that’s not even a year old yet. It doesn’t matter to me though as I’m moving to an S5 II and will be selling 80% of my MFT kit. If I like the S5 II enough I’ll sell off everything else and go full frame. I technically already have full frame with my Leica M10 but it’s not a traditional mirrorless.
good vid 🤙🏼
Did this fix this AF since this video? Or is everyone still having issues with the firmware 2.0?
The praise for the camera besides: the camera body doesn't live a separate life, it's part of an ecosystem of lenses.
I got a chance to see the camera yesterday in the CEIF 2023 exhibition in India yes AF in S5ii is like AF in sony cameras in 2015 a lot of hunting Panasonic think customers are foolish you cannot be still hunting for focus or have focus breathing in 2023, but if you're looking to use manual focus n photography Panasonic is one of best our there
Thanks for sharing that. Thats strange as all the youtubers are claiming the autofocus to be very accurate and reliable. In what all conditions was it hunting focus?
thank you for being honest brah
This is an EXCELLENT video. Thanks so much for being comprehensive on the autofocus of this camera.
Question: I'm thinking of buying a Sony A7iii for portrait photography. Which one is better for eye autofocus, the Sony A7iii or the Panasonic S5 II?
It's the better buy atleast in terms specs and about the same af performance as the a7iii, but the Sony has more glass and good cheaper alternatives compared to Panasonic. Also the newest Sony glass has better focus motors i believe. But if lenses Aren't a issue definitely go for the Panasonic.
I’m gonna echo this but the s5 has the superior AF system. Sony DEF has the W when it comes to lens support, native and third party. There’s so many choices
@@TerryWarfield thank you for the response! 😁
@McSnapples Oh yeah, theirs no doubt it's the better package. I want to know if it has reliable eye autofocus, or rather, does it have better eye auto focus than the Sony A7iii, a camera that came out in 2018.
@McSnapples I'll believe it when I see it!
I am considering an older camera, but it would be nice to save $1000 for comparable or similar autofocus performance, especially for stills. 📷
Terry im waiting on the low light test...as of this post...no other youtuber has done that effectively...
Filming it tomorrow 👊🏽
The Sony IMX410 is back side illuminated. No, its not fully stacked but it is BSI.
I might have goofed up. Ahhh oh well lol
Just got an A7IV mainly for the lenses on the market, either from Sony itself or third party ones. Panasonic isn’t even close on this point which ends up in less flexibility.
Yoooo my man’s doing big things out here 🙏
Man I’m trying bro
Manny I’m still waiting for you to start reviewing lumix cameras too I’m hoping that day will come. Lol
I almost feel like Lumix did the gh6 buyers dirty lol they KNEW what they had coming up lol this S5II is the first Lumix camera thats worth the look compared to other systems full frame.
I agree bro. The GH6 is a monster, and this system was def in development at the time of the GH6 launch, guaranteed
OMG bro was that crocs on your feet ??? lol
On the porch examples were you using Face/Eye or Human? I think you want to use Human in that type of scenario.
Yea I may have to grab it
That’s what she said lol
@@TerryWarfield 😂😂
If Panasonic decide to the kit bundles they've had with the s5 for s5 mk2 (24-70 / 50mm) for a similar price as now then its going to be a problem for every company. These things will fly out the door. What will drive it is the press online. The vibe has been overwhelmingly positive for this camera. It seems to literally do everything in a very competent fashion for far less money than every other flag ships camera.
The only downside is lenses. But Kai Wong just showed it using the canon EF adapter and having great focus performance. So how big a deal is the lens situation? 2 grand with a 24-70 bundle and its game over I feel.
They just did for the holidays! S5II is on sale right now for $1,700 which is a no brainer and I got the 50 1.8 for $47. So $1,747 for the kit which is $253 less than the body only price. They have several other lenses you can bundle for hardly anything too. It's an absolute steal.
Thanks for your review. How come I keep hearing about Phase Detect AF and nothing on how their AF algorithms work and perform. Others like Nikon had Phase Detect for a long time but time has proven that their algorithm were not class leading. Give me real info on how it actually compares with moving subjects in video and stills. How long before their first gen system grows up from a first generation to a fourth or fifth generation. Of course I'm a stills shooter so maybe I should just ignore it since they are focused on video. $2000 is great but is Panasonic really just trying to buy their way back into the market. Has anybody done an independent build cost analysis to determine its real cost to build?
Hey dude, you made some mistakes with the AF settings. when you run away or far away you need to go for human /face detect and NOT Face/eye. Than it tracks either eye, face or body and gives a much better result. cheers
Big T! Leaving Fuji because AF is booty. Thinking a7iv or S5II. Hybrid shooter - no monitor straight internal and SOOC color with minor tweaks. Love canon and Fuji pinks and magentas. Which camera do you recommend d!?
Same here. Which one did you go for?
@@aman681 s52! Coming soon
@@jaymills1720 Nice.
@@jaymills1720 What were the deciding factors?
@@aman681 SOOC look, baked in LUT, Iso performance, AF, hybrid
This camera is a no brainer right now for $1,700. It's $600 cheaper than the a7IV's sale price of $2,300 and IMO, a better camera. Not to mention you can get several lenses for next to nothing when you bundle it with the camera. I picked up the 50 1.8 for $47, $400 off its usual price. So I paid $1,747 for the S5II and the 50 1.8 which is an absolute steal IMO.
Panasonic footage is beautiful
It’s truly incredible
Panasonic Lumix are the top dogs now
I don't see how a camera could have a fan without pulling in moisture or moist or dusty air. It would have to do that or have a filter that needs to be cleaned.
It is completely sealed, can even use it in the rain. No components are actually exposed.
Me, a Sony A7siii owner since release date, watching how my $3500 is getting dragged by this new Panasonic 👁👄👁
But jokes aside, this camera is pound for pound the best camera out there considering its price. What an absolute beast.
I still love my a7siii, dont get me wrong. I actually hope this camera puts some pressure on Sony because now they can't release an a7s4 with just basic updates. They HAVE to innovate and push the boundaries if they want to get people to justify paying thousands of dollars more for an a7s4 when this Panasonic s5ii exists for just 2k
Nice footage. Which city/state do you live?
I’m in Ohio
I'm so excited about this one. I stopped watching R6Mii videos!
My Sony a7iv overheats and shuts down during daylight video recording and becomes an unusable waste of $2500. Seems the S5ii has it beat easily with it simply being usable.
I sold my a7iv and just preordered the s5ii
If youre looking for a good video focused camera and dont care about lower megapixels then the Lumix S52 and S52X are the best choice for the price. But if youre looking for a pure hybrird camera, the a7iv is the best option.
Comparison coming next!
There is the mystery video 🤣🤣🤣🤣 wait what are you talking about Paul????
Hahaha
@@TerryWarfieldgreat job on the video. I love that this will make Sony just try harder to be even better. A7iii flappy doors….don’t remind me lol 😂 For me at the end of the day I feel like Sony is still the better option to stay with because I have more faith they will continue to get better and better, plus their lens selection is just so good, and Sony has been working on those lenses to have the best AF. That being said…..thank you Panasonic for making a useable camera with AF and a bunch of killer features!
