When you start out by saying that "they reached out to you" it's hard to think that you were thinking of switching in the first place. How coincidental that your eyes are gazing away from Sony just as Lumix reaches out to you and gee golly gosh, you just happened to think it's worth switching for awhile. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Sony or Lumix fanboy by any stretch. I just think the influence of free, complimentary, or loaner gear is hard to ignore. If Canon had reached out, this video would be about switching to Canon. We get it. RUclipsrs maybe can't be bought but they sure are easily pursuaded. Sorry Lizzie. I'm a long time fan and I think you create great content but we all know what's going on here. Just be honest. It's okay to just say Lumix loaned or gifted some free gear and you'll be using it. We don't need the "Sorry Sony fans" speech.
Almost as identical as Chris Hau situation of him switching to the original S5 after he coincidentally left out the part that Panasonic paid him a boat load of money to switch as well lol, that he just so decided to mention later in his "3 month with lumix" video.
@@SouthboundProduction Lumix has been "giving" these camera to many creators along with the reduced prices minimize the cost to get others to switch from other brands.
To be fair, when looking at their marketshare, it is completely understandable why they would want to advertise like this. if canon is about 30%, then Panasonic is about 5%.
It doesn't matter why she's switching the only thing that matters is if the review of the gear is genuine. Sony users freak out when they see a camera that won't overheat lol
Doesn't really matter, Sony, Canon, Nikon, or even Panasonic, if you know how to shoot they're all good, throw a coin, invest in one and you're good to go. At the end of the day, it's you, not the camera.
i decided to be fan of all these fine bodies. glued all of them together. still it’s hard in the, mornings for me. to get things to look well and fine. maybe at end of the day the light is better or, how do you mean.
Nothing can replace photographic knowledge and artistic vision, but every brand has its own niggles and pain points, which makes it essential to know how each person's workflow and preferences fit in with those. To me, Panasonic create the closest thing to a perfect UX, which makes the process of creation something enjoyable and natural. No matter how good Nikon's lenses or Sony's AF are, their bodies have ergonomic and interface quirks that I detest, and they make my job less pleasant. To me, they most definitely are NOT the same, and I'd never pick a brand via dice throw, coin flip, or any other random method.
People are mad that Lumix is doing what Canon and Sony have been doing for years with creators. Who remembers when all youtubers trashed the 6d mk ii and then they all started using it? Or when all youtubers put out their, "Why I switched to Sony videos?" It's all marketing. Just use what you use and be happy.
Yup I own both the a7iv and the lumix s5 first edition and the Lumix is a far superior camera with more features than the a7iv except when it comes to AF. Sony is in it for the money where Lumix is also in it for the money but they actually care about their clients, the updates speak for itself. The a7iv is my first and last Sony camera
I used the GH5 on manual focus since it came out (Seven years ago).. Today's Panasonic's are better again, The Auto focus is about 98% of Sony's in practice. But what you get instead on the S5iix and even on the G9ii I still important e.g. record to faster, cheaper, bigger SSD(Not available on other Mirrorless. Internal Pro res, best IBIS, Raw out etc.. That's cinema quality. Also wide screen + 100mpixel photos. Even when we worked with the Canon C2 we found the Older Gh5 to be more pragmatic and more fun because Panasonic have unique Highlights and Shadows graph control. you can raise / lower blacks, or lower the whites just like cinema Cameras. (neither Sony, nor Canon has that ). The latest Sony's with AI are good, but you have to decide which one to buy. Canon R5 8k is unusable for us as it's only 4:2:0 and it still overheats at times. I put Panasonic Full frame first Sony Second, Black magic third, and Canon, Nikon forth. Panasonics image is much more resilient to post processing, and more forgiving when you +/- exposure mistakes.
Sorry for you to be the brunt of my vent but I really dont like these type of videos - all it does is confuse up and coming content creators even more and with them contstantly jumping ship to what is deemed to be the best camera. You're feeding that cycle and I feel that its a bad contribution to our community from influncers like yourself
What are you on about? Competition is good for all brands. She is well within her rights to shit on Lumix in these upcoming videos... She was even a bit harsh on the AF, bc tho it isn't on par with Canon/Sony, it is certainly neck and neck with Nikon. And very impressive for their first go at PDAF. Nobody gives Fuji crap for their abysmal AF. Regardless, it's good for everyone
I recently purchased an S5II with a couple of Lumix lenses, so I appreciate the honest review (pros and cons) as well as saying Lumix is up there with the other top brands. Coming from Fuji, and in the more distant past Sony, I really appreciate the straight forward menu system. Thank you!!
RUclipsrs gotta RUclips. I don’t care if YTers get paid or persuaded by brands and companies.. I’ve been following these people for years and I want them to bank on every opportunity they get. The truth is that after a certain point.. ALL Camera’s are beyond good! And beyond the gear reviews, I want to follow the creator’s experiences instead of what gear of the week to obsess over. It makes sense for RUclipsrs to switch things up to gain more followers. We shouldn’t make it personal and the creators shouldn’t make it seem like it’s a breakup. Sure, use the Lumix brand but make sure you continue making content that can be valued by your existing subscribers. I know it will have to be more than gear reviews but we love seeing them in action. I also live in Toronto so I’d still watch her videos to see what’s going on in town regardless of what camera she uses. Anyways happy new year to you all!
I bought this camera a few months ago, and its my first mirrorless camera. I must say this thing is a BEAST of a camera. So many options for shooting video, but its also a competent photography camera as well. I havent really had a chance to make full use of this camera yet but I plan to grow with it and learn all it can do. Love this camera so much. It punches so far above its class.
I recently sold my a7s3 for the s5ii. Sony's lack of update approach even updates for basic lens design issues such as focus breathing did it for me . With that said I'm keeping my original Sony A7r3, gm lenses, and few art lenses. Sony IMO still has the best AF, but unfortunately that's not enough when you can't rely on them to stand by their customers.
I switched to the S5 years ago and I still use it with my S1R for all my paid sessions. I rarely used autofocus for video, so I wasn't concerned about that with the S5. I will say that the improved autofocus on the S5II is tempting though. Open gate is the main reason I'd be ready to upgrade.
And while the comments rage in debate on the reason for review…. This Camera is flat out Dope 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Shot a destination Wedding with a couple of bodies 😮 Sleeper Diamond Level Camera - and this is coming from a longtime Sony/Canon Shooter. Today’s Cameras all pretty much create great images, but these small cinema like Primes are clean and something to behold. The Crop factor to me is an asset more than a loss. I use it to get 2 focal lengths on one lens on Canon so I used it on those LUMIX bodies with great results.
Welcome to LUMIX Lizzie, Lenses to try 1-- 7artisans Photoelectric 50mm f/1.05 Lens for Leica L its Manual Focus Design but a LOW light monster fun to play around with. 2-- Venus Optics Laowa 24mm f/14 Macro Probe Lens for Leica L
I have the S5ii and it's amazing honestly. Just would like a 35-150 on there (Samyang plz?) and I'm sold on just using this camera. The deal on the s5ii with the 20-60 and the 50mm is amazing already honestly.
I actually DO enjoy moving 😏 But that may be better said for locations than camera systems, as I'm still favoring Sony's color science and AF. But, if Panasonic continues making better cameras at lower prices, I'd give them a try in the future.
When I look at a brand I look at their lens selection more than the body. The body from dofferent brand all has its strong point here and there. The determine factor to pick a system more come down to the lens. When I look at L lens. There is no inieresting lens caught my attention. There is no my favourate focal length Tamron 35-150 for Sony and Nikon. There is no lens like 28-70 f2 from Canon. Their 24-70 and 70-200 f2.8 are very heavy. If I switch system to S5II, I could not find replacement for those lens I love. Actually their own m4/3 system has way more interesting lens than their L mount.
I truly believe the world will one day wake up to how much value for money there is with Lumix cameras. Sony is it the ultimate cult and fanboy kingdom, they do make great cameras, but be open to knowing that at that price point there are some greater value options available. From the S5ii going forward, Lumix really got it right and the S5iiX was the absolute game changer. It will be interesting to see what they have in store over the next decade.
Always been a lumix user. Started with the g7. The S5ii hands down is the best camera out right now. With all the specs you get for the price. Also the IBS in the camera is brilliant. As for the lens complaining. Well how many lens dose one need. The L lens cover all focal range needed. 18mm to 100mm in prime lens and a few good zoon lenes. The L lens are always made for filming over photos. Diff would recommend to get the S5ii or x.
no telephoto lens at all...and no the 70-300 is not a telephoto lens if you need reach...you can go with sigma but af is awful .....but in some time they will probably make more lenses and then lumix will probably be the 1 company if they continue like this
I chose to use Lumix cameras as they were the brand that based there cameras more on the video side rather the photo. The GH5 is more a film camera then photo. Lumix has made some cameras that are more photo based but most of there cameras are more film based then photo. The L mount lens are made with film making in mind rather then photos. @@sardanapalos
Oh my god this is so reassuring. I had $16,000 lost about 4 months ago and I have been using an old a7sii and a 50mm for week this whole time and I have been dying to get the Lumix s5ii
Still a loyal supporter of Lumix in their M43 field. GX9 with their native lenses. Though FF I am more comfortable with Sony due to the lens choices. Their body ergo needs some fine tuning though. APS-C is Fuji for me. Their lenses and body combo is a fun system to use. Still rocking the X-T3 till today. Those moments of, let me just shoot with this and that recipe. At the end of the day, I don’t tie myself down to a brand and be loyal, I just see their price, features and lens choices. That right moment is where I will just pick them up and use it. I started photography with a Canon DSLR, the 550D and mirrorless system with the Olympus EM5II.
Since mirrorles came out I decided to invest in lenses instead of cameras especially vintage manual ones, that way, in case i am thinking of another system I just switch and adapt the lenses since I actually enjoy manual focus.
I don't know why so many content providers think that what they have to say won't be heard unless they have a trick-or-treat background track competing with their voice. Bailing.
Yes we do need to talk because .... There seems to be a huge oversight in Panasonic software compared to Sony. Quote from the Sony manual : "To continuously adjust the focus and exposure during continuous shooting, set as follows: - [Focus Mode]: [Continuous AF] - [ AEL w/ shutter]: [Off] " This seems not possible with Panasonic. Haters please note: I shoot both systems professionally :)
Hi Lizzie I would be surprised if you left Sony for Lumix. For me Lumix (and this is coming from a previous Panasonic GH5 user - Loved that camera!!) is like Subari, a totally quality affordable solid product and Sony is like an Audi, also a totally quality solid. I cannot see you or anyone going wrong with Lumix. If money & time were no object, why not, I would have Lumix as well. Not really sure how people do 2 or 3 different camera systems. Do you know how they do it Lizzie? ...anyway, you get to play with another system which will be probably some fun among other things for you.
Lumix cameras will catch up in AF performance. SONY is ahead for AF but AF is not everything about a camera. I also like the haptics and ergonomics of the Lumix cameras and nearly all dials and buttons can be easily programmed to the photographers taste. The L-Mount allicance is growing and the lens-portfolio too. Sigma did release a lot of new lenses in the past months and they will continue to do so in the future. Also Panasonic has some new lenses to be expected (in their official lens-raodmap). It depends what a photographer needs. If it's always the best AF performance, then I think, SONY is still the brand to choose. I am happy with my S5 II and will stay with Panasonic.
I really tried to watch this video, and listen to it, but I kept getting distracted by your Angelic face! I mean, wow, what a BEEEUUtiful Woman! Anyways, I’d take that LUMIX any day over a Sony, juss sayin. Yes, I am a Panny fan, but the improved focus makes this nearly a no brainer. And those Panny colors… ❤
Your best decision. Lumix is far superior than Sony, for those who know their needs and not for those brainwashed by Sony's notorious marketing, that has managed to persuade people the only that matters is auto focus even to those who NEVER use it!!! Panasonic have the best stabilization, the best tropicalization, perfect color science, great ergonomics, the best video codecs, the best handling and the best quality, among others. If Panasonic knew what marketing is, they could have eliminate the competition. Proud user of Lumix cameras since 2008! Never looked back! I welcome you!!!
Do people not use Nikon anymore? I feel like it’s dwindled down to Sony or Canon. I’m still on the D5300 but I am looking at upgrading. Honestly budget wise I have been looking at the Sony A7R III but you’ve got me considering the IV. V is well out of my price range.
Okay so: - You are back at using Lumix and you know 3 brands? There are plenty more out there :) - You only speak about the video capabilities of the Hybrid camera, what about Photo? Sorry, not my cup of tea but good for you for getting out of the CanikonSony universe I guess.
Did you like the Sony A7R5? Or does it have too many megapixels? Like a lot of folks I am on the fence about upgrading from A74. Mostly portraits. And yes Lumix sounds fascinating!
I'm on one of the Lumix Facebook user groups and they are saying the video recorded in-camera looks oversharpened and that you need to record externally to BRAW to get an image closer to the original S5 which wasn't oversharpned.
Sometimes in life, you have to choose between two evils or if you are lucky - between two winners. Sony or Lumix? Fortunately - we all have different expectations and needs. There is absolutely nothing in life where "one fits all" Fortunately - otherwise we would kill each other over a piece of chocolate. Yes - Sony and Lumix (Panasonic) are two absolute winners.
the price difference is a lie.... sorry but those 500$ most of the times are erased by sony with coupons ...it happens for a month almost since the lumix got some attention....and the most important is the next step ...that money difference is erased if you uy a zoom lens ....lumix cheapest 24-70 costs 1,300$ when in sony e-mount you can buy a tamron 28-75 for like 800$....not to mention that zoom lenses in lumix line up are not so many...
Great camera presence, pun intended. When i was a TV news reporter, we had a saying that we weren't the most important aspect of the story. Would've been nice to see more product use... and fewer jump cuts
And, they offered you money. RUclipsrs switch camera systems at the drop of a hat. Pitch to the highest bidder. You are good enough it doesn't really matter what camera system you are using. Just a tool.
It's not really hybrid, but rather a video camera. I think most cameras in this price range are delivering a great performance in photo aswell, but it's definitely more pointed towards video. It's literally the S5II + better video specs
what i'm experience, lumix is great in terms of their pricing but on par with the other brand hign end camera specs. and yes lens selection is limited but alliance is growing. as of now samyang also entered the alliance. hope viltrox and tamroon too. Definitely they will enter cuz of the limited of native selection. A Business Opportunity for them😊
Looking forward to office organization videos, they are always fascinating. Lumix has a good reputation but I'm pretty deep in the Sony and Fuji ecosystems so I'll stay where I am.
Если вы будете искать камеру и начнется искать обзоры, то обнаружите, что примерно в один и тот же период все блогеры переходят на популярную модель. Так было с Canon R, Sony a7iii, Nikon z9, fuji xh2 и lumix s5iix. Текст меняется в зависимости от позиционирования продукта на рынке. Но лейтмотив у всех одинаковый - типа я нашел дешевле что-то и я откуда-то ухожу. Плюс\минус. К огромному сожалению мы не имеем сейчас фотографов, но есть много блогеров и продавцов. Чтобы найти достойный обзор надо смотреть видео от каналов со 1к подписчиков. Они выкладывают реальные материалы и говорят честно, потому что они своим трудом зарабатывали на технику, а не сидели и ждали когда им за бесплатно дадут. У блогеров сейчас есть картинка и она завлекает. Но конкретики по теме там нет.
As a S5ii user, I would tell you some disadvantages that No youtuber mentions. These youtube videos are all the same and nobody says the important stuff. S5II produces not very sharp footage. I get sharper image on my S1R, which is not supposed even to be used as a video camera. So you wont get real 4K resolution on S5II. The footage on 4000ISO in LOG is NOISY!! you will be very upset when you will bring your footage to DaVinci and will try to reduce the noise. Some of it just would not go away. The base ISO is 640 in LOG, so be ready with your ND filters. The focus is BAD and dont listen to youtubers who say it's almost the same as Sony. Guys, you will lose focus in the important moments. Whenever you will have contrasty background, your focus will travel far away and will never come back. Also nobody talks about the smoothness of the focus, It is Absent!. And in the video above you can see it at 4:44 when the Focus "Hunting" occurs the bokeh start to dance back and forth and the image becomes unusable. And this Focus Hunting is just the way this camera focuses. So you will have always the bokeh dance. Sorry for the truth. You can still get good footage on the camera, but you will struggle so much more than on fx3 for example. and you will loose so many good shots. Good videomakers will just skip this camera.
Exactly people that do serious video work professionally will skip on this camera with the AF still in beta five years after the first Lumix S. We can't afford to have unreliable tools for work as an af hunt can ruin a good section during an interview 😅
I current shoot on the Canon EOS R, but the recording limit, 4k crop, hit-or-miss AF, plus no 3rd party lenses makes me tempted to move to a new platform. At the moment i am *possibly* going to trade in my gear to mpb or keh for a Lumix S5 iix. But, the Sony A7R IV definitely tempts me too. I do about a 65/35 split in favor of video for products/edc on RUclips and IG.
I've been using the original Lumix S5 for awhile now, and am perfectly happy with it aside from the autofocus. But working in the film industry, autofocus isnt such a big deal. Otherwise, Lumix cameras packs a lot of features for videos. Its more geared towards videos. The image IQ is really good. And colors are just as good if not better than Canon
I borrowed an S1R for a weekend just after launch it was the AF that pushed to Sony. I utilize mainly sigma glass with the conversion service I am forever keeping an eye on the S series because I agree they definitely have a mastery cost benefit and their service in Canada is pretty responsive (speaking from my experience in Ottawa). So I will be following to see how you make out. Now days its a lack of FPS

excellent choice!!

Tired of youtubers, nothing but talking billboards.
It is a business and it pays their bills and not a hobby. The information is not for free all equipment cost money.
Great camera. Welcome to the club 😊
Actually, the perfect camera exists. You just have to stop focusing on the camera and just shoot.
I wanna see different lighting scenarios! Low light, natural, overhead lighting, inside vs outside, the works!♥️📷
I used the GH5 on manual focus since it came out (Seven years ago)..
Today's Panasonic's are better again, The Auto focus is about 98% of Sony's in practice.
But what you get instead on the S5iix and even on the G9ii I still important
e.g. record to faster, cheaper, bigger SSD(Not available on other Mirrorless.
Internal Pro res, best IBIS, Raw out etc.. That's cinema quality.
Also wide screen + 100mpixel photos.
Even when we worked with the Canon C2 we found the Older Gh5 to be more pragmatic and more fun
because Panasonic have unique Highlights and Shadows graph control.
you can raise / lower blacks, or lower the whites just like cinema Cameras.
(neither Sony, nor Canon has that ).

So you're not switching cameras like literally you're just trying this out, basically the titles clickbait... Ughh..
great video. I have a S5IIX and is a great camera for photo and video.
I think you certainly received a good sponsorship contract. I would definitely have done it too
I truly believe the world will one day wake up to how much value for money there is with Lumix cameras. Sony is it the ultimate cult and fanboy kingdom, they do make great cameras, but be open to knowing that at that price point there are some greater value options available. From the S5ii going forward, Lumix really got it right and the S5iiX was the absolute game changer. It will be interesting to see what they have in store over the next decade.
Always been a lumix user. Started with the g7. The S5ii hands down is the best camera out right now. With all the specs you get for the price. Also the IBS in the camera is brilliant. As for the lens complaining. Well how many lens dose one need. The L lens cover all focal range needed. 18mm to 100mm in prime lens and a few good zoon lenes. The L lens are always made for filming over photos. Diff would recommend to get the S5ii or x.
no telephoto lens at all...and no the 70-300 is not a telephoto lens if you need reach...you can go with sigma but af is awful .....but in some time they will probably make more lenses and then lumix will probably be the 1 company if they continue like this
I chose to use Lumix cameras as they were the brand that based there cameras more on the video side rather the photo. The GH5 is more a film camera then photo. Lumix has made some cameras that are more photo based but most of there cameras are more film based then photo. The L mount lens are made with film making in mind rather then photos. @@sardanapalos
Same
Oh my god this is so reassuring. I had $16,000 lost about 4 months ago and I have been using an old a7sii and a 50mm for week this whole time and I have been dying to get the Lumix s5ii
Still a loyal supporter of Lumix in their M43 field. GX9 with their native lenses.
Though FF I am more comfortable with Sony due to the lens choices. Their body ergo needs some fine tuning though.
APS-C is Fuji for me. Their lenses and body combo is a fun system to use. Still rocking the X-T3 till today. Those moments of, let me just shoot with this and that recipe.
At the end of the day, I don’t tie myself down to a brand and be loyal, I just see their price, features and lens choices. That right moment is where I will just pick them up and use it.
I started photography with a Canon DSLR, the 550D and mirrorless system with the Olympus EM5II.
Are you still using the Lumix? Wondering if I should switch from my sony a7iv to the s5iix
Its colour science is a leap forward. The ergonomics and menu is better too. And its automatic 180 degree tool….👍
Since mirrorles came out I decided to invest in lenses instead of cameras especially vintage manual ones, that way, in case i am thinking of another system I just switch and adapt the lenses since I actually enjoy manual focus.
I don't know why so many content providers think that what they have to say won't be heard unless they have a trick-or-treat background track competing with their voice. Bailing.
Yes we do need to talk because ....
There seems to be a huge oversight in Panasonic software compared to Sony.
Quote from the Sony manual :
"To continuously adjust the focus and exposure during continuous shooting,
set as follows:
- [Focus Mode]: [Continuous AF]
- [ AEL w/ shutter]: [Off] "
This seems not possible with Panasonic.
Haters please note: I shoot both systems professionally :)
Hi Lizzie I would be surprised if you left Sony for Lumix. For me Lumix (and this is coming from a previous Panasonic GH5 user - Loved that camera!!) is like Subari, a totally quality affordable solid product and Sony is like an Audi, also a totally quality solid. I cannot see you or anyone going wrong with Lumix. If money & time were no object, why not, I would have Lumix as well. Not really sure how people do 2 or 3 different camera systems. Do you know how they do it Lizzie? ...anyway, you get to play with another system which will be probably some fun among other things for you.
Lumix cameras will catch up in AF performance. SONY is ahead for AF but AF is not everything about a camera. I also like the haptics and ergonomics of the Lumix cameras and nearly all dials and buttons can be easily programmed to the photographers taste. The L-Mount allicance is growing and the lens-portfolio too. Sigma did release a lot of new lenses in the past months and they will continue to do so in the future. Also Panasonic has some new lenses to be expected (in their official lens-raodmap). It depends what a photographer needs. If it's always the best AF performance, then I think, SONY is still the brand to choose.
I am happy with my S5 II and will stay with Panasonic.
I really tried to watch this video, and listen to it, but I kept getting distracted by your Angelic face! I mean, wow, what a BEEEUUtiful Woman! Anyways, I’d take that LUMIX any day over a Sony, juss sayin. Yes, I am a Panny fan, but the improved focus makes this nearly a no brainer. And those Panny colors… ❤
Your best decision. Lumix is far superior than Sony, for those who know their needs and not for those brainwashed by Sony's notorious marketing, that has managed to persuade people the only that matters is auto focus even to those who NEVER use it!!! Panasonic have the best stabilization, the best tropicalization, perfect color science, great ergonomics, the best video codecs, the best handling and the best quality, among others. If Panasonic knew what marketing is, they could have eliminate the competition. Proud user of Lumix cameras since 2008! Never looked back! I welcome you!!!
Do people not use Nikon anymore? I feel like it’s dwindled down to Sony or Canon. I’m still on the D5300 but I am looking at upgrading. Honestly budget wise I have been looking at the Sony A7R III but you’ve got me considering the IV. V is well out of my price range.
Okay so:
- You are back at using Lumix and you know 3 brands? There are plenty more out there :)
- You only speak about the video capabilities of the Hybrid camera, what about Photo?
Sorry, not my cup of tea but good for you for getting out of the CanikonSony universe I guess.
Did you like the Sony A7R5? Or does it have too many megapixels? Like a lot of folks I am on the fence about upgrading from A74. Mostly portraits.
And yes Lumix sounds fascinating!
Really? I’m switching from my Rolls-Royce to a Ford focus. And speaking of focus nothing can compare to Sony’s auto focus. You’re a fool to switch.
I'm on one of the Lumix Facebook user groups and they are saying the video recorded in-camera looks oversharpened and that you need to record externally to BRAW to get an image closer to the original S5 which wasn't oversharpned.
why don't they put the sharpness down. It's in the menu.
are you sure you didn't confuse the S5IIX with the S5II ? It is the S5II I have seen people complain about.
Sometimes in life, you have to choose between two evils or if you are lucky - between two winners.
Sony or Lumix?
Fortunately - we all have different expectations and needs. There is absolutely nothing in life where "one fits all"
Fortunately - otherwise we would kill each other over a piece of chocolate.
Yes - Sony and Lumix (Panasonic) are two absolute winners.
the price difference is a lie.... sorry but those 500$ most of the times are erased by sony with coupons ...it happens for a month almost since the lumix got some attention....and the most important is the next step ...that money difference is erased if you uy a zoom lens ....lumix cheapest 24-70 costs 1,300$ when in sony e-mount you can buy a tamron 28-75 for like 800$....not to mention that zoom lenses in lumix line up are not so many...
Review this camera with lens Panasonic s 24 70 f2.8 s pro. Your thoughts
the S5IIX is a fabulous all-rounder. The only thing that really bothers me is that at 4K 50fps it goes into APS-C mode and crops
Great camera presence, pun intended. When i was a TV news reporter, we had a saying that we weren't the most important aspect of the story. Would've been nice to see more product use... and fewer jump cuts
And u have all the same options for iPhone 15 with blackmagic app the switch from lumix ,Sony ,Nikon, canon is a useless subject
And, they offered you money. RUclipsrs switch camera systems at the drop of a hat. Pitch to the highest bidder. You are good enough it doesn't really matter what camera system you are using. Just a tool.
Please make compact, full frame, under 2000€ with great video and photo and screen. Up to 33mpx
LUMIX S5 IIX is the most underrated camera coz of Canon & Sony.
Panasonic cherry picking Sony users to talk about their cameras lol. Get yours Lizzie, but the whole thing reeks.
You clearly have money. Just keep both systems. I still rock a Canon DSLR with my Sony A7iv. No big deal.
It's not really hybrid, but rather a video camera. I think most cameras in this price range are delivering a great performance in photo aswell, but it's definitely more pointed towards video. It's literally the S5II + better video specs
Corrected title “LUMIX review”
Hi Lizzie. Did you have a chance to try in a very low light environment? Lets say, after sunset and very early in the morning.
what i'm experience, lumix is great in terms of their pricing but on par with the other brand hign end camera specs. and yes lens selection is limited but alliance is growing. as of now samyang also entered the alliance. hope viltrox and tamroon too. Definitely they will enter cuz of the limited of native selection. A Business Opportunity for them😊
Sometimes I feel like I’m the only creator left in the world who Panasonic haven’t reached out to 🙄
I went Sony to Leica SL to Canon and now back on Sony, massive waste of time and money. Sony GM primes are superb
I was thinking of switching for better timelapse's management 👌. please do more videos !
The song in the beginning sounds like Oh Give Thanks Unto The Lord.
Your intelligent to do so. Sony's pinkish/orangy/purpleish skintone is ugly.
Looking forward to office organization videos, they are always fascinating. Lumix has a good reputation but I'm pretty deep in the Sony and Fuji ecosystems so I'll stay where I am.
7:18 nice smile 😍
Если вы будете искать камеру и начнется искать обзоры, то обнаружите, что примерно в один и тот же период все блогеры переходят на популярную модель. Так было с Canon R, Sony a7iii, Nikon z9, fuji xh2 и lumix s5iix. Текст меняется в зависимости от позиционирования продукта на рынке. Но лейтмотив у всех одинаковый - типа я нашел дешевле что-то и я откуда-то ухожу. Плюс\минус. К огромному сожалению мы не имеем сейчас фотографов, но есть много блогеров и продавцов. Чтобы найти достойный обзор надо смотреть видео от каналов со 1к подписчиков. Они выкладывают реальные материалы и говорят честно, потому что они своим трудом зарабатывали на технику, а не сидели и ждали когда им за бесплатно дадут. У блогеров сейчас есть картинка и она завлекает. Но конкретики по теме там нет.
As a S5ii user, I would tell you some disadvantages that No youtuber mentions. These youtube videos are all the same and nobody says the important stuff.
S5II produces not very sharp footage. I get sharper image on my S1R, which is not supposed even to be used as a video camera. So you wont get real 4K resolution on S5II. The footage on 4000ISO in LOG is NOISY!! you will be very upset when you will bring your footage to DaVinci and will try to reduce the noise. Some of it just would not go away. The base ISO is 640 in LOG, so be ready with your ND filters.
The focus is BAD and dont listen to youtubers who say it's almost the same as Sony. Guys, you will lose focus in the important moments. Whenever you will have contrasty background, your focus will travel far away and will never come back. Also nobody talks about the smoothness of the focus, It is Absent!. And in the video above you can see it at 4:44 when the Focus "Hunting" occurs the bokeh start to dance back and forth and the image becomes unusable. And this Focus Hunting is just the way this camera focuses. So you will have always the bokeh dance.
Sorry for the truth. You can still get good footage on the camera, but you will struggle so much more than on fx3 for example. and you will loose so many good shots.
Good videomakers will just skip this camera.
Exactly people that do serious video work professionally will skip on this camera with the AF still in beta five years after the first Lumix S. We can't afford to have unreliable tools for work as an af hunt can ruin a good section during an interview 😅
Amazing as always! LOVE BUDAPEST!
Lizzie is the most beautiful RUclipsr right now.
Well....if i was Lumix,I would also choose you...😍
You're comparing an old Sony to a new Lumix
You recommend this lumix S5 iix for photography too
The Lumix can record internally 10bit 4 2 2
lmao this is a sponsored video you will for sure say it is a good product
I current shoot on the Canon EOS R, but the recording limit, 4k crop, hit-or-miss AF, plus no 3rd party lenses makes me tempted to move to a new platform. At the moment i am *possibly* going to trade in my gear to mpb or keh for a Lumix S5 iix. But, the Sony A7R IV definitely tempts me too. I do about a 65/35 split in favor of video for products/edc on RUclips and IG.
My Sony DSC p-9 still takes stunning photos...
Switch to Nikon.
Problems solved.
Buy it, then review it. Paid promotion is biased Canon
A sony le vale madres quien seas, eso es un hecho xD
Look forward to seeing some work instead of the infomercial
I've been using the original Lumix S5 for awhile now, and am perfectly happy with it aside from the autofocus. But working in the film industry, autofocus isnt such a big deal. Otherwise, Lumix cameras packs a lot of features for videos. Its more geared towards videos. The image IQ is really good. And colors are just as good if not better than Canon
Another switching video. Yay....
AF is too important to hear…. Pretty good.
I would never use Sony they have the worst look it’s stale
0:56 500
Sony is still King when it comes to Auto focus 💪🦾🦾
I borrowed an S1R for a weekend just after launch it was the AF that pushed to Sony. I utilize mainly sigma glass with the conversion service I am forever keeping an eye on the S series because I agree they definitely have a mastery cost benefit and their service in Canada is pretty responsive (speaking from my experience in Ottawa).
So I will be following to see how you make out.
Now days its a lack of FPS
Sony AF Is highly over by RUclips. Every modern camera is okay these days
0:20 loooool report the video as spam and turned off bye lol
Quit playing girl 😂you will be back to Sony
Good god that blacked out stuff looks good
