Thank you!

nice might have to buy this one .I wanna get into street photography and just film now I'm basically a rookie but I used to do photography in high school but that was over 8 years ago . I know its not all about gear but I want a solid camera to begin with .

I'm on the fence right now, waiting if there is some discount or bundle promotion to get the S5IIX, or maybe considering the S5II + raw update + BMVA/Ninja V for the same price. The FX30, A7SIII, Nikon Z6III, Z8... all look more tempting from a local market perspective since I could get them here in my country with warranty vs importing the Lumix at my own risk. However, insightful videos like yours make me wanna take the risk... Thanks for sharing!

Seems like it has so muxh value compared to sony.

Oh man, im picking mine up in a few days, youre negatives have got me scared 💀 This camera on paper sounds perfect for me. Opengate, full frame, unlimited recording, great colour is literally perfect for what i need. Im still super excited to get my hands on it and put it straight to work

Recording to external SSD (2TB) at 5.8K (open gate) 10bit ProRes 422 HQ is possible which provides extra room for cropping (i.e., 4K, 2.39:1 or 16:9 aspect ratio) in post.

Absolutely amazing video man, should have hundreds of thousands views. So much valuable information! How do you think, is the performance of video AF good enough for shooting erratically moving toddlers? I really want stable handheld footage, and the Lumix system seems the best for this as you mentioned. But at the same time AF is not perfect. But is it good enough you'd say? Many thanks!

I have both the S1H and S5IIX, and I think I'm set for a looong time. Maybe if the S1HII is amazing, I'll switch

Was the video from 2:05 to 2:10 recorded on the s5 iix? If yes, then what lens was used? I am looking for a video that shows what recording someone indoors with an s5 iix looks like.

I've watched so many videos and this was the only one that was honest and thorough. The others were clearly promoting a particular brand and were sugar coating. Thanks for such a helpful review!

very helpful video! Especially the E-stab with open gate

wow this is a great review, thank you

This was great!! Wondering if you are also familiar with Fujifilm’s lineup by comparison?

Thank you! 🤝

I just purchased the S5IIX and this video help make my decision. Thanks for all the info and hope you make more S5IIX content.

is the v log mode saved on the progress files?

Thanks for this, it's very useful to know your experience. Seriously considering the S5IIx, particularly because of its anamorphic options and IBIS tuned for anamorphic. It's good to learn your experience of hot pixels too. I've had them on all the cameras I've used at some point, particularly doing night timelapses with long exposures, and filming at night at high ISOs. My R5C has a few that show up in night shots but it has to be sent off to have them fixed, and my Z Cam F6 gets them after night timelapses, but they can be reset in camera. Having the option to remap them in camera is super useful - but it's always a pain when these show up! If someone could create an auto hot pixel fix tool in NLEs using AI that would be amazing (though probably unrealistic...) 😉

Great video Jake 😊 First time watcher, and subbed. Mostly a video shooter here but, as happens, was unexpectedly pressed into service as a stills photographer with the S5iiX, on a studio shoot for a public street art display. It was a personal milestone and a thrill. The 96MP mode was used on posed shots with constant lighting, and I used my Atomos Ninja to check focus, as I was paranoid about that!

super honest , very informative ! exactly what I was looking for subscribed ;)

How is the moire effect here while shooting compared to the A7IV? The S5IIX does not have an AA filter, but I don't know if the A7IV does either, as the answers to this vary.

I've had it for about a year and I use it for my business/fitness/Gym content! Such a game changer and im learning newer and better setting every few weeks! Thanks for dropping this video

I own x 2 S5IX and this video was great man. Really informative and fair. Subbed!

Totally shocked. Awesome Video - But 270 Subs? I was expecting more in the likes 100k Hope this will grow soon :)

Great job Jake!

Auto focusing not good lumix s5ii ..is so bad auto focusing 50fps.. 100fps...

Sony is Best..lumix not good auto focusing 50 fps..is bad😢

I'll be honest, when your talking and cropping in, it's a little jarring to constantly crop back and forth when the shot is already pretty tight to begin with. Good review though keep it up :)

Where is the e-stabilisation crop video link you mentioned?

Dummy battery works well

Thanks for sharing all that man! Great vid.

hello, it was normal to switch to Lumix from the A7III, this S5II is much better and more versatile and does not heat up. I have a Sony a7sIII and I can't say that the Lumix S5II is much weaker. I think the price difference is bigger than the performance difference. (compared to a7sIII).

I have question, can magnify to check focus while recording in s5iix?

Hi Jake, will you be making a video on “periphery” items a noobie getting into Photography and/or Videography would need/use? Plenty of videos on cameras, lenses etc, but I’m stuck on tripods?, lighting, light meters ( do you still need them 😬!) and for video I know from my youngest son capturing vods from game play… storage! What recommendations are there for data storage etc! As you are starting your channel I’m sure you have lots of ideas! Here are a few from someone who know nothing about the world of Photography/Videography. And one more! How can you share or even make a modest income from either!

Great Video. Thanks for sharing your experience and not just copy other content! :)

Excellent video. Congratulations

Thanks for the info! ❤

Just subbed! Good luck with the channel! I’ve been looking at a lot of content around the current market and for those interested in both photography and video, the LUMIX S5iiX seems to be well respected! Almost ready to pull the trigger, but €2k is a big step! ( but I’m sorta reluctant to spend any money on 2nd hand knowing ill just want the S5 anyway) Watch this space 😀

Completely new to all things photography/videography. I love taking photos of plants/flowers and insects/birds when out walking, using an iPhone ( obviously is not good, and limited editing on phone). My son wants to get into video, so been looking at the S5iiX for us both! Hope to learn more!

Thanks for the video! I didn't buy the s5iix because it didn't have a LPF and I'm afraid of moire in stills and video, so I'm now thinking of getting the lumix S1H. Thoughts? Cheers

I use the e-stabilisation options on my S52X a lot, interesting to hear your thoughts on the sharpness, i have to shoot more without stab, to see if has an impact on my image. Thanks for the tip.

I've had mine for a little over a year. Great camera. I use it for run n gun travel videos. Stabilization is perfect. I shoot everything exclusively handheld, I don't carry any stabilizers or a tripod with me. I combined my S5IIx into a rig with Blackmagic VideoAssist and SmallRig V-mount batteries. A real small cinema camera. BRAW is wonderful to work with in DaVinci.

This was very informative seeing as how I am looking at getting a second video camera. I am a videographer and I currently use the Panasonic S1H. Given the build quality issues you mentioned, I will consider the BS1H instead. Thank you for a great review and keep up the good work.

Some of the points not talked about are the vast E-mount AF glass options, Cine EI / S-Log workflow (FX series), and the higher upgrade path ceiling (i.e. Venice). Most of these features appeal exclusively to professionals. But they come at a cost. I think Lumix is a W for the prosumer and below markets but there's a reason most professionals (especially video) pick Sony over Panasonic by far.

Nice vid :)

I have 2 S5IIX’s and they’re great. My favourite features are the auto focus and stabilization. The color science is close to Black Magic. I can match them easily to my BM 6k’s.

Dude you just switched when Panasonic posted about uncertainty about the future of their camera division 😅.

Crazy to hear about the mounting of lenses. I have 5 - S5 IIX and although not recommended, I do know I hold the Mount button through out the mounting of my lenses 😅 never had an issue and you will not hear a click. But just checked all of them and if I did not depress the Mount button throughout the full turn, the lenses all click into place. I too come from Sony… absolutely no regrets and the Autofocus honestly is on par… you do have to understand what AF mode is best for a situation and it will be spot on. I am just as confident with the S5 IIX as I was with my A7Siii. The Shutter Angle, Anamorphic Support with IBIS, Color Science, 6K Open Gate, SSD Recording and no overheating are all welcomed additions.

I also have an S1H, but I find myself grabbing the s5iix more often, it's just so little, and still awesome quality

Just sold all other systems for the S5iix. Loving it so far. Subbed

Great video mate, very helpful! Another subscriber :)
