Is this footage colored graded or it comes from the lens?

Great looking lady and nice shots. However, I think she looked better in the video, i.e. without the flash.

you should check your hearing because the HSM is NOT "super silent".

If this whole S9 drama has revealed anything, it's that youtube camera reviewers desperately need to go touch grass.

It’s a camera for very very few. It will not sell well. At the moment in the UK we can pick up a G5 with 12-60 lens for 50% less than the price of this hobbled camera, leaving plenty of change for a nice little prime lens while still saving money. Yes it’s a bigger camera but it’s also got a grip and articulating screen and much much more. It can even use a flash. If you want a really small camera, then a 1” or M4/3 sensor camera may be had for a fraction of the cost and will give great results for most people. In six month’s time, the S9 will probably be sold for a very deep discount, probably cheaper than the current S5 kit offer which is US$1245 including 20% sales tax or £999 UK inclusive. There is also a 10% discount off that if bought direct off the Panasonic web site. Yes, I know that maybe the smaller size appeals but for not much more you can buy a Sony A7C with a nice Sigma prime, which is in a different league to the S9, surely.

All I can say about this whole S9 drama, is that I can see 3-6 months from now we will see a ton of, "I Was So Wrong About the S9" type videos dropping like mad. As far as the S9 goes, I shot a feature film with the GH5 and I'm pretty confident I can do the same with the S9.

thanks for an authentic statement. My 2 cents: I do not percieve hate about the camera. From my side I can say that this entire campaign, mainly from the content creator side opened my eyes. They had been open before, too, but this campaign was a tipping point for me. Creators I trusted and valued before - I see them in a new light now. Trust is damaged and I do not want influencers and YT to even more take this direction. That's my 2 cents, no offence. But, clearly no hate from my side nor on yet another new camera (perfectly fine a manufacturer is trying out sth new)

I don't hate this camera, but I do generally agree that it's a dud, all things considered. What I mean is, Sony released the A7C a few years ago, and it is basically what the S9 is trying and failing to be. It is full frame, it is smaller than the S9, it has better specs in many areas (including no recording limit), has the articulating screen, and still manages to squeeze in a viewfinder. Currently, the price of a brand new A7c is pretty close to the price of the S9. It's the same issue with the 26mm pancake. Panasonic seems to be implying that because it's a low cost 26mm pancake lens, then "of course" being manual focus and f8 is what they had to do. Meanwhile, Nikon has the 26mm pancake that has autofocus and f2.8 and though it is more expensive than the Panasonic lens, it's still budget friendly. It makes no difference to me, personally. I'm not in the market for a compact full frame. I can definitely understand why so many people are disappointed, though.

IMO, This drama is a combination of the 360 thing weeks before, people wanting honest reviews, media disenfranchisement, a camera that has some technical issues being reviewed by a majority of photographers that would never spend $1500 to nearly $1800 for this type of camera, the marketing of TH-camrs that need to make click bait statements , mixed messaging on whether the camera is a point and shoot TikTokers dream and at the same time wanting to be a full frame consumer grade photography camera with limitations. I watched so many videos and felt there was something different from other camera launches in the past, Felt like the Lumix marketing was trying to force a viral buzz, that now has been polarized. All for new gear and new cameras. If anything I think it is a wake up call to anyone who reviews cameras. Optics are important too, not just views!

i think you misunderstand the reason why this camera is garnering so much negativity.

I subscribed.

They hate is from people who don’t understand product development, marketing or innovation. They need to understand target audience for a product.

I was with you until you said Aligator hunting. No thanks!!! Great images from the FZ. I rock an FZ300 as my 'anywhere' camera. Great bridge cameras. I would love the S9 despite the limitations. Great everyday cam. Will have to sell something first though... God Bless!

I went with the S5ii x . Having the option of autofocus and the ibis is incredible. Plus can’t you only use braw on the 6k? Also I got my S5ii x brand new in the box body only for 1600 on eBay.

just a note: on v2 Mac to actually have the masking options appear you have to option+click on the Mask icon

I wonder why the s5 has more dynamic range as both cameras share the same sensor

Blackmagic and panasonic are my favorite brands. I would love to own a blackmagic camera but no af is not good for what i do. There are things i do manual focusing anyway but having no af at all makes the camera not versatile enough for me.

The backup thing is a real big issue for me with the panasonic, because you can't record to the SD card slot on the s52x while recording to external SSD!! I think on the blackmagic you can record a proxy to the SSD. I want to know is if you can record a "rainy-day" proxy onto the internal CFEXPRESS as lowish quality h265 and then use the external SSD as your primary 12 bit BRAW... Can't seem to find any info on this anywhere...

You make it look so simple!!!

This is a very helpful review

I got both s5ll and BMCC6K and I am very happy!

nice video Luke. keep creating 📸

Coming from a Blackmagic 6K Pro I’m more than happy with my S5IIX. And as I already have a 7 inch Video Assist it means I have a larger monitor than even the 6K FF. AND I can record BRAW if I really needed to. But what’s most interesting is here in Australia compared to your prices, the current discount price for body only for the S5IIX and 6K FF is $2799 and $3899 respectively. So the price difference is much bigger! Over $1000! So the S5IIX choice is a much easier one.

Great look behind the scene. Lovely model, btw. ; )

Head to head the BM camera comes out ahead in everything but autofocus. I don’t have time to unpack it all, but XLR matters, proper timecode handling matters, a locking DC power input is a big deal, internal RAW (no external recorders to rig), BRAW which means 12-bit all intra recording with lots of latitude, and what about the BM Cloud integration on the way, for many operators that will be a big time saver, simultaneous proxy recording is a plus, CFExpress B saves time with offloads compared with SD. Etc.

Is it possible to set an external ssd recorder for backups and cfexpress B as pain card?

I did forget to mention the IBIS on thr S5iiX. The CC6K does not include any image stabilization, so if you're mostly shooting off a tripod or gimbal, you'll get less shakiness from the panasonic.

For me it all comes down to the look. And the BM6K has the Panasonics beat! Better colorscience, OLPF is great, BRAW in all the good modes, like open gate (which the panys cant).

This is exactly what I have been thinking for days. There are some features and discounts that change my mind when I think I have made a decision though: Does the IBIS in the S5IIX works the same while shooting braw? Does the S5IIX uses the new autofocus while shooting braw or does it changes to to one of the less reliable modes? I think I heard somewhere that it changes to area mode. I know the S5IIX is $2,200 and the BM assist $800 taking the price to around $3000, but you can get a 50mm f1.8 for the S5IIX and it only adds $50 to the price because it has a discount if you buy it as a bundle. Therefore, the price of a S5iiX for a new user like me would be $3050 and it will include the camera, a BM assist, and a full frame lens while the BMCC 6K will be around the same price with a 7artisan manual lens. I would go for the BMCC6k if the IBIS and the autofus changes in the S5iiX when using the BM video assist. If it does not, then I think I would prefer the S5IIX just in case I ever need to take good pictures.

I ordered one but it doesn’t fit on my Nikon. Do I need to order an adaptor or a converter? Did I order something incorrectly

It's an amazing piece of glass ...... I shoot it with a Canon 5DSR and a DX MKIII ...... and the results are wild !!!!!

nice tut. ive been using just color and lowering opacity. great tip on the macros too, much more efficient use of time.

Awesome!

The cat said great "Great Job" 😁

I gave you a like for your sense of humour

Отличный обзор. Хороший объектив. Нужно приобрести. Как он как портретный?

Great, just what i need now for my products. Thx a lot.

Can you do this one again, only this time take your time, talk your way through it. Way too fast. Thankis

sigma or nikon same specifications? macro 105 mm same

this is really fantastic! I've been using your method now for a couple of months - really is the best way to do teeth. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Great,however you don’t need the extra mask, the hue mask itself behaves like a regular mask you can use the brush to either hide or reveal more. Thanks.

Thankyou for this one, appreciated.

Que perdida de tiempo ver este review

Very good... Maybe change the speed of your speaking

Just a shortcut with what you can already do with an hsl. Useless. That time should have been spent on making raw development better.

nice i love tone mapping but how can you bring in some thats already been made

Thanks for explaining this tool. Not many videos on it. Would enjoy seeing a video about using tone mapping on portraits. That’s what I’ve been curious about. Appreciate the advice.

Thanks, this is definitely a nice method. Hope these shortcuts help someone when masking - you can use 'D' to set the default colors back to B/W and 'X' to swap them back and forth. Also, the '[' and ']' keys make the cursor larger or smaller.

Excellent. I really liked this method.

Yes! I’ve been waiting for an easier way to change color.
