im still a beginner and wanna do a short movie, would it make sense to use the 65mm or any of those with the zv e-10 camera?

This is one video that forced me to change my mind and buy not FX30, but S5 IIX. And I understand, that video can't be an hour long, and even this length is enough. But to be clear - it sells Lumix VERY short. Panasonic looks downright UNFAIR in comparison to any peers, and is MUCH better than it looks in the video. Even before the godlike update of AF. You can overlay picture over the video feed, like for a movie production (Sheer overlay). You can use the build-in feature to make artificial pulls or zooms not in editor, but in camera, even in 6K opengate (Live Cropping). You can use BOTH Real Time Luts and Preview Lut in V-Log View Assist. Dustin Armstrong found out that You can use manual S35 lenses in 6K opengate with minimal crop, while using the advanced stabilization - with much less crop overall and Gimbal-level IS. Also Dustin found out that You can even put Real Time Lut on a PROXY file, while having OG file in V-LOG. S5 IIX not a gold nugget. It's a f*cking Appalachian mountains.

Nice! can you please make a video with the 45mm with a scene with much chromatic abberation at lowest F stop, then I would like to see how increasing the F number have an effect on the chromatic abberation and also bokeh, for me it seems like this lens have way too much CA at T2.0, so wonder if its more usable higher up without loosing to much smooth bokeh

There's no way the Lumix S5IIx could a better video professional camera than the Sony Cinema Camera FX30. But I could agree with you, understanding your reason why, just if it is a buyer review for the Lumix, or just a review of a Lumix fanboy

Why not compare with the full frame FX3?

Way to much sample footage …

Great video! Growing into a system is a big consideration for me so thanks for thanking the time to talk about that

Doesn't the S5IIX lack an optical low pass filter, making is susceptible to aliasing?

Can you tell what is the minimum and maximum shutter speed during shoot for both camera specifically fx30

just a heads up, you graded the letterboxes 😉👍

I finally received these, and I'm having a bit of trouble with aspect ratio since I stink at math, but nevertheless, the lenses are pretty amazing!

I can tell your retention is like 30 secs

I have the 45 and the 65, they are amazing

great video! i'm very ineterested in buying these lenses!

Did you pay $300 for 3x EF mounts or just $100?

Lens selection is one of the top 3 factors when choosing a camera system.

The new S5iiX 2.0 firmware just brought this camera to another level.

Give me 12bit 444 .mov internal recording at 4K, I would be happy, I don't need RAW. Oh, and global shutter.

An excellent demo !!

What a ridiculous comparison… You should’ve been comparing the Lumix with the FX3… That would’ve been much fairer… Full frame against full frame. How do you not know this?

Great video!

I’d love a camera that is portable enough to stuff in a fanny pack with a compact lens for travel and nights out. I worry by he S5II is too big ?😊

Why did you the FX30 and not the FX3?!? Full frame vs full frame🤦🏿‍♂️

Exactly! Overheating = Professional Work! Do U get that Sony? Again do U get that Sony? NO more overheating cameras out the door! 😎😎

i much prefer the sony fx30 for what I do. I know its not full frame, but full frame isnt everything and with the right lenses and skill you wouldnt know im shooting with an apsc. I just prefer the usability of the fx30. from the grip and how it feels in the hand, to the really simple and easy to use menu system, to the 4k 120fps slow motion, the auto focus and everything mentioned in this video. I think, if I needed to take high quality photos as well as videos, then Id probably go for the panasonic, but then if I needed a high quality hybrid it would be an alternative sony camera. But for video, I love the fx series.

Great video

your audio wich was at starting was irritating

I was torn between the Fuji XH2s and the S5iix when looking for a video leaning prosumer hybrid. Ended up going with the Fuji , would of been cool to see the XH2S in this. It stacks up really well against both of these cameras

Something that not a lot of people know about (understandably) is that Panasonic is quietly developing an in house sensor which I think it huge with how their bodies could be looking after the S5iiX, I don’t think we will see these in house sensors for another 5-7 years but that isn’t very long in camera time. I’m glad I bought into Panasonic after years of hopping brands. It’s where I started and it’s where I’m staying.😊

Panasonic GH1 was the camera to push consumer video not 6d or d700

I'm a massive fan of the Panasonic Lumix releases in the past couple years. I have experience with Sony, Canon, Fuji and Nikon for both video and stills. But, none of these compare to my Panasonic BS1H, which is fully geared toward video. It's a box camera without an LED, so you'll need an external monitor. But, if you're recording 6K RAW, you're using either a Blackmagic Video Assist or a Ninja. I have both, and I switch back and forth as to which I prefer. Anyway, some of my favorite features on the BS1H... Both SDI and HDMI output simultaneously, which means I can use the Ninja and and SDI EVF simultaneously. A dedicated time code port. Ability to use 180 degree shutter - or really any shutter angle. Small form factor, but really well built. I understand that a video centric box camera with no LED is not ideal for everyone, but if you're serious about making independent movies or documentaries, it's really one of the least expensive and best choices. Having said this, I'm going to add an S5IIx as my B-Cam, or I'll use it for times when a larger built out rig is not practical. The S5IIx also gives me still capabilities in the event I need stills. I tend to agree with you that the industry seems to focus more on a balanced hybrid approach - they seem to take a stills camera and add video functionality. I feel the future is the reverse of this - more focus on video capabilities and less focus on stills.

Seeing these videos I can't help wondering why people always forget there is something called Blackmagic pocket for half of the price of the sony.

This video needed more of you sitting there in the frame and less actual footage from the cameras.

I have the Lumix s5ii. Image quality is insane. I do have the Lumix GH6 though and I get the same image quality on it though, since the colors that come out of that is the same. Its a micro 4/3 system though, I get a 2x crop. I just place the camera a little further back when I make my workout videos to make up for it. FX30 is APS-C crop system, its not bad, better than your iPhone you're carrying around in your pocket, still a massive sensor compared to a phone. The s5ii will crop in anything higher than 30fps though. I'll just use the same technique I use on the GH6 to get a wider perspective. For workouts, have to go wide, people can't see what I'm doing if the camera is close. Interviews and making product videos though, have the camera close, it makes sense then. Going wide won't do anything good then. Hey though, crop sensors aren't a bad thing, they have their use, its actually good if you want to get really close up shots, for photography. They all do photography as well, its a hybird system, they're just more built for videos.

I've seen almost everything on YT regarding the choice of equipment, and this review is truly the most honest and without any visible sponsorship 😅 great job 😍

Full frame sensor, 6k, 4k60p no crop, best stabilization in the industry, decent slow mo, 92mpxl stills, Prores, Braw, for $2k+free lens, come on buddy thats a no-brainer.

Great review and production

Great work 👏🏼 I do feel the s5iix deserve to fight out against the fx3 tho since they share the same sensor type

Stunning video production. Don't need TH-cam go be a Cinematographer. You're Goooooood!!!

Should just get the S5-ii

I decided to get both b

Bro you got an IG love your videos

I feel it would be a better comparison between Sony a7iv vs lumix s5iix instead

Do you shoot mostly Panasonic now?
