Have you considered something like the Atmoshue 1/4" female thread to hot shoe adapter to rig out your Ulanzi GoPro cage. Not tried it, so it might be poor. In principle though could attach to side cold shoe mount and then to quick release of your strap clip. It'll add weight, but could easily be removed by thumbscrew when not using.

Ok, your editing skills are mind bending, we know that, stop flexing, I'm hard already. The thing is I just realized, and I actually really mean it this time, that full frame has too much toneh. Too harsh sharpness fall off. In that first shot it looks like you're in front of a blurry wallpaper. The toneh. It's tooooo unifooorm. It's 1 blurry af in the foreground 2 Supersharp 3 then the same amount of blur til infinity and beyond Me no gusta. It makes no sense to me visually. And spiritually. Maybe I'm just that BMPCC OG fanboy though, who knows. Loooove yoouuuu!
The maximum amount of toneh is literally the biggest "camera conspiracy" made up by marketing gurus to sell expensive lenses and Kasey has fallen for it hard. I've used MFT since 2014 and will never use full frame for that reason and many more. I still remember Kasey's video when he saw Tony Northrup using that 50mm f/1.2 at the lake and was genuinely traumatized by the excessive toneh, now he's just like the rest: monkey see, monkey do. No independent thought these days. What if I told you that I rarely shoot wide open even on my (considered slow) Panasonic 100-400mm f/4.0-6.3 lens? Here's a video I just shot: th-cam.com/video/eqF4R79NB3M/w-d-xo.html - Most shots were at f/8.0, some at f/6.3 and some even at f/11. Sure, some wider aperture when zoomed out such as maybe one shot at f/4.0 in low light at 100mm but I don't prioritize "maximum toneh" even on a prime lens, although I do tend to be relatively close to the maximum aperture. I prioritize proper white balance and exposure; having an extra stop of aperture in the wings allows me to double my frame rate, keeping shutter angle constant and then simply opening my aperture 1 stop without needing to double ISO (or if in AEL with shutter priority, that all happens automatically ... but the TH-cam gurus don't even know anything about the true power of AEL). Or leaving me some leeway to expose under trees properly. The VND and mist filter RED, Arri and Apple ProRes noobs might be confused but yes, I don't use VNDs. Don't make me throw up. Stop buying expensive lenses just to put VNDs on them. I use proper NDs that don't introduce polarization. Mist / highlight bloom is easy to achieve in post and you have way more control. I'm probably one out of maybe three people on the planet who bought the PolarPro BaseCamp Matte Box and use only regular NDs in 1 to 6 stop increments, doubling up to two at a time (5+6 for example) for up to 11 stops. Math is not that hard, especially when your know your f/stop chart in 1/3rd EV increments. Stop putting trash on your lenses. Don't get me wrong, a little toneh is nice, I have the Panasonic 200mm f/2.8 on the way (primarily for better low light, the inevitable extra toneh isn't the primary reason) but that's all I need, no more toneh. Rant over. Anyways, the beauty is mine and without maximum toneh, dare I say it, you can actually see what's in the video. I also didn't use a white card or even the luminance spot meter; I meter with the cinema camera in my eyes. I call it "perceptual exposure", but it's inspired from many things I learned and combined, such as the Zone System in photography developed in the 1930s. And no joke, color grading the VLOG-L footage the entire video was shot in took 10 minutes (since it was exposed within a 1/3rd EV error range of middle grey in VLOG-L) with my custom PowerGrade in Davinci Resolve featuring my ultimate Rec709 approximation LUT (without tone mapping) I made (manually of course) with the DSC Labs ChromaMatch Pro color chart, after lots of experimentation because even Gerald Undone videos didn't cut it for me. I had to figure it all out by myself :)
In your A7S IV wish list, you omitted animal eye AF in video. I thought that would be your first request. Why won't Sony add that via firmware to their higher-end bodies that don't have it? Canon did it for the R and RP. Imagine a wildlife videographer with an Alpha 1, seeing the A7 IV and thinking WTF.
I have the S5 ii, like everything about it but why tf do I keep getting a moire effect on my videos? This is regardless of shirt pattern or lack thereof. My Canon does not do this!
Kasey,,, I'm lumix S Series user... but I want a travel compact camera with good AF.. and have 4k and medium burust for Stills and Video.... I found Olympus E-M5 M3 VS Fuji X-T30ii...which one you think is better ? I will use telezoom lenses & wide lenses as well.
Hey, just passing through but heard something you may find interesting. After talking with a Pansonic rep, I was told that the latest Sigma zoom (50-600??) when used in sync stabe on the S5ii, and presumably other panasonic FF bodies, only engages vertical and horizontal stabilization on the camera body if the lens stabilization is engaged. Ie, stabilization sync works, but cuts out the waving motion, or so it would seem. I didn't have time to ask him much more, like which if any lenses do the same thing.. but maybe some of the wider third party lenses you love so much also cut the little waving hand off at the wrist as well =) When you test this, please give me a shout out, or at least shout at me by name. I could use the bump. Peace, and out.
never had the GH6 but came from GH5 for video and Canon 5d3 for photo, now with S5mk2 for vid and planning on GFX 50s for photo. I'd be pretty content with that combo. No Sigma MC21 + ef glass for you? for super telephotos?
Camera conspiracies, what should I buy the zve10, r50, Rp or a6400? Jn a beginner. I want to do photography or videography as a side hustle. I'm looking for a budget setup with one good lens to start with. I'm thinking of the 50mm lens for the Rp fullframe and a viltrox 35 for the crop sensor Sony and rf35 for r50. Help me please.
Buy it and then throw it in the trash can. Yes, you'll lose money but you'll be keeping it away from hurting someone else. That's some real philanthropy :)
Camera conspiracy for you: Canon R8 price in UK is £1699 in US $1499 which is £1250 at current exchange rate. Why that difference? Panasonic Lumix S5II in US $1999 in UK £1999. Panasonic exchange rate is about right, Canon is a big rip off!
Yes - same problem in Australia. In some online stores the Canon R8 is advertised for a price that is higher than the S5II! Makes the choice pretty simple really.
I prefer the stealthy look of the S5 IIX. I just wish there was a new G-series camera with PDAF - and a stacked BSI sensor. I think the GH7 will probably be your perfect camera, it will have a fast sensor readout, flip screen, PDAF, and probably 4K120 and 1080p240 slow motion, plus V-Log, the smaller more portable size and a pretty nice portfolio of lenses.
I don't know about the "stealth" look. Personally I prefer the classic Panasonic body design with its signature red accents that make their cameras look more fun.
@@randomoneforstuff3696 It's for the scrubs. They like "all black". The red accents went well with Zacuto gear too, I agree with you that it was a better color scheme, more fun as well.
GH7 could be close to a perfect camera. But with the tiny sensor the Micro Loser Thirds has, it can never be a perfect camera. Except unless you do wildlife only.
@@randomoneforstuff3696 Dear Sir, as a pocket user (a 2.88 brutal crop) I disagree. If I could I would upgrade to medium format yesterday. Jokes aside, yeah of course there's place for deep DoF and often cinematographers use apertures like 5.6 more than anything. But crop larger than 1.5 is really hard to deal with.
Being your one of your first subscribers, I'm qualified to say your videos sound very good. I'd give them an A. But, your buddy MarcusPix's videos have sound quality that is out of this world, A+++ for his sound quality.
@@DaveNZ3339 MarcusPix is amazing - Industry secret is that on Windy Days he will actually perform surgery on himself to put the microphone inside his throat. And, his model is not real, the reason she is so perfect is ... SHE IS A ROBOT HE BUILT!
15:12 I almost spat out my tea at the screen 😂 . I know it sounds mean, but the moment I see your face I burst out laughing. You so funny! (I subbed a few days ago).
00:46 Thank you for the answer, but pls suggest some good reliable camera lens combo for wildlife video especially in 2k, since it less space and looks magical
The X is for Stephen Speilberg .... and livestreamers. That's what Yodobashi Camera UMEDA tells me. I'll pick mine up hopefully tomorrow. They book a private appointment to give the new cameras to those who reserve order.
What do you think about the new Sigma 60-600mm paired with a Panasonic S5II? Could this be your perfect combination? Don't you dare to murder me for my third party lens suggestion!
Just to throw in some S5ii(x) explanations: the S5iix almost certainly has additional hardware (controllers, faster internal data buses, etc.) that allow it to do all the things that the S5ii non-x can't even with the paid upgrade. And the upgrade is paid probably because having this feature in your camera as a manufacturer means you pay licence fees to the lizards squid alien demons from Apple. The blacked out design may be practical, but I agree it doesn't look very good. The lack of lenses really does my head in though. It's a young mount, unfortunately.
I think the lenses are actually pretty good, though. The first-party f/1.8 primes are great, and Sigma has all the other stuff pretty covered, including portable lenses (contemporary f/2 primes, 28-70mm f/2.8) and pro-grade lenses (24-70mm f/2.8, ART primes). The 18mm f/1.8 is particularly a lens that no other mount has. Honestly, the only thing it's missing is Tamron. I honestly prefer Panasonic's first-party primes over Sony's, though Sony has better zooms.
@@mbvglider I agree, the paid upgrade doesn't make a whole lot of economical sense. People who know want that should just wait for the S5iix. As for missing lenses - besides the 20-60, Panasonic has just made bog standard lenses (and sometimes making them even more bog standard by using the same housing - I do understand the advantages though) and the longest lens they have is a cheap 70-300. Sigma is great for cost and sharpness, but that's it, really.
@@AIP404 What makes you think tele or super tele is used only for wildlife? And besides the brand new Sigma 60-600, there are no superzooms or at least something like a 24-200, no tele primes. Lenses they do have tend to be expensive and fat. Sony, Canon, and Nikon all understand that compact and affordable lenses are desired nowadays. Panasonic is still in the "anything for optical quality" phase.
I think they're just milking. That's the only explanation for two very similar cameras. It's not a coincidence that they do this when they make decent AF. It's kinda pathetic tbh. They offered proper codec even with GH4 and now they make this BS. We must demand internal raw video for all cameras and instead they give you All I in another camera like it's a solution for anything. My freaking phone offers raw stills and they can't offer a proper codec in their 2000 USD camera? Let me tell you, lower end bitrate 10 bit All I, isn't even very good for grading and professional work and they choose to hold that back. They deserve a consumer backlash and any other company that tries to do the same.
It is easy to do camera reviews. But if you wanted to take a camera for travel (so we are talking small body size, low weight and may two lenses that do it all for general travel) that don't put you off going for a walk with all the equipment and more importantly look inconspicuous with it (before some tries to grab it off you) - what would you take? Micro 4/3 is off the - GH6 has a massive body. Any full frame is way off. Maybe you are going to say the Sony X3000 - but remember they don't make that anymore. I have had the Sony RX100 VII - totally unusable and sold it - as you can't see I thing in bright light either on the LCD or via the viewfinder. I think I found my solution - but I am not saying here right now. I do have amazing video and photos from my trip though.
@@BackusCreativeImaging For me I took an X-T5 with the 18-55 and 55 - 200. Really small package, and have some amazing things to look back on. I don't video myself, and in India where I wanted to be non-obvious, not having a massive flip out screen to the side of the camera was a big advantage as I did not stand out in the crowd. The 18-55 is 2.8 at 18mm so is fast enough to be really good at night time.
@@colinhoward2200 In the end its all about the camera that works for you. Don't let the TH-cam scrubs tell you your camera isn't good if it works for you. Learn it well and before you know it, you'll produce better pictures than they can on full frame cameras. Keep being an independent thinker :)
Recording to SSD is huge. And recording raw to SSD as well. So, yes, a separate model. That being said, the S5iix is worth the $200 difference. Sure, the S5ii is probably sufficient for most users.
Yodobashi Camera people tell me the s5ii-X is for livestreamers and anybody wanting to do a truck-pan motion from 8K. Nobody there said anything about external recording SSD.
which path should i go for? sony zve10 + sigma 18-50 2.8 --> fx30/ next a6xxx flagship or fuji xs10 + sigma 18-50 2.8-> xt4/xh2? my main uses would be for filming myself for social media (dance) and also travel films. so most of the time i'd be trusting the camera with focusing when i film myself outdoors. imo i love fuji but idk if the autofocus will be able to keep up with my fast movement while i dance and want that blurry background for a shot. since this is gonna be my first camera, i'm mainly looking for 4k 30 with good AF and color science. let me know your thoughts!
@seeyouseemee3863 I'm sure there are uses for it, but people seem to see it as a way out of needing fast lenses or good lighting. I tried shooting a concert with an a7iv+f4 lens at 12k iso and i might aswell have used a phone.
Tell me it's true-1080p 24/25/30fps FF (Full-Frame) use PDAF. 1080p 50/60fps FF use DFD (old contrast method). 1080p 50/60fps APS-C mode use PDAF. 1080p with any fps higher than use DFD. 4K 24/25/30fps FF use PDAF, 4K 24/25/30/50/60fps in APSC mode use PDAF. 6K 24/25/30fps use PDAF.
I think I was that guy who "complained" about your audio being lower than everyone else's. Thanks for going through the process of raising your levels. You are still 8.1 dB lower than the target limit though. The problem however is not that you are inaudilbe (for a few of your videos, your volume is really low, however it's better these days), the issue is that other videos that are loudness-optimised sound really loud suddenly, and if I watch your video after one of these, it is really low in comparison... Hope that makes sense.
This is a youtube problem and not a content problem. They know the loudness of every video they have, they could just let you equalize it automatically to a specific target. And the -14LUFS limit is way too little dynamic range.
Quality over loudness. The music world is already ruined from overcompression and maximizing loudness… killing subtlety, dynamics and realism, not to mention harsh on the ears and causing fatigue.
@@lekmusic I agree with you about overcompression and the resulting death of dynamic range. My original comment was more about how Casey's overall volume level was sometimes so low that he would be hard to hear at the same speaker volume as another video.
@@JasperLevi interesting I didn’t notice his channel as being lower than others - I do listen to lots of other stuff. Perhaps the channels you’re listening to are doing extreme maximizing…. Anyway :)
His "ProRes" won't even look as good as my regular LongGOP recordings because he doesn't know what he's doing: th-cam.com/video/eqF4R79NB3M/w-d-xo.html - You can benefit from ProRes if you do green screen work needing precision, but for most web work or independent work it's not necessary. It doesn't take long to make proxies from H.265 footage in Resolve with quarter resolution. ProRes is just an intermediate codec, All-I mode produces the same results at a practical level, but the scrubs see "Pro" and they go crazy, just like when Sony slaps on "Cinema Line" to mediocre cameras and the scrubs eat it up. Like what was said in the 2011 documentary "Empire of Dust", I'll say the same: "it's all so tiresome".
@seeyouseemee3863 I said "same results at a practical level", notice the word "practical". If you get your exposure and white balance right in camera, you don't need as much latitude in post. Learn to expose right. That also means I can color grade a video like this in about 10 minutes by tossing on my custom PowerGrade in Resolve because everything was shot correctly in the field: th-cam.com/video/eqF4R79NB3M/w-d-xo.html - I use the cinema camera in my eyes to properly meter subjects at the middle grey target. I'd say I do a fair amount of post processing. I make my own conversion LUTs manually for cameras (such as LOG to Rec709 approximation with no tone mapping) using a DSC Labs ChromaMatch Pro color chart. I denoise using Neat Video. I sharpen in luminance channel of LAB color space. I control tone mapping myself along with highlight rolloff and highlight bloom (only scrubs use mist filters) in post. Anyway, my point was and still is: ProRes and All-I are over rated for "most" web and independent work. It's not necessary if you know how to expose shots. Obviously I know denoising is better with say ProRes over LongGOP, but at an everyday practical level it's not, for web and independent work. Go watch the 32 hour color grading course for Resolve on Udemy, the dude had to fix Arri RAW footage shot by noobs who don't know what they are doing. He'd have loved my LongGOP footage since it's shot correctly. The motto is: learn how to use the camera. I'm not saying these higher end codecs aren't useful (they are better than LongGOP), but I see scrubs not knowing what they are doing then relying on higher end stuff without really understanding exposure. That's all I'm saying. It won't compute I know, but I tried.
X-H2s firmware update also tested for video, not everything you want here but if you're interested this is the link th-cam.com/video/7LXSA7CIqbo/w-d-xo.html
The issue with the X-H2S is that it is more of a photography camera than it is a video camera. Just look at how they have set up some the features: setting ISO obliterates the histogram, only one auto iso can be set and it can not be changed or tied to the frame rate, etc. The list goes on and on. I believe FujiFilm has the hardware to make this a great video autofocus camera--the XH2S has 2.2 million hybrid phase detect autofocus pixels and contrast autofocus pixels. So many reviewers talk about Kaizan but do not understand what Kaizan even means. What Kaizan means is small, incremental improvement. And that is exactly what firmware 3.0 is. A small incremental improvement--very small. What FujiFilms needs is Kaikaku--radical change. Because only radical change is going to make the improvements that FujiFilm requires for improved video autofocus.. What FujiFilm needs is to get a new team of individuals to work on video autofocus to make the radical change this camera requires. But as long as we have these photographic fanboys at FujiRumors fawning over everything FujiFilm puts out then there will be no incentive for FujiFilm to change. The sad thing is, I don’t think FujiFilm even knows (or cares) how bad video autofocus is on the X-H2S. They pat themselves on the back and say look, were better than we were with the X-T3 and X-T4. While they are better, the other companies have made improvements that have eclipsed FujiFilm. Why is a 4 years old A7SIII still better way better with video autofocus than less than a year old X-H2S? I got at an X-H2S at a price well below market price as a friend that was disappointed in the autofocus and made the move to Sony. However, this will be my last FujiFilm camera. Others interested in videography should follow suit. That is the only way the message will get sent to FujiFilm. Because their modest improvements with version 3.0 is truly an insult. Look we have drone and insect subject detection. Do they really think they are fooling anyone with these kinds of statements!
"Slow Mo" is for idiots! Use software to slow the video down, if you want to watch paint dry! The low light performance is the key for any camera/lens, except for cameras, which are specifically designed for daylight, like the best zoom camera Nikon P1000! Here is a conspiracy for you: the Sony a7S is the best camera for low light because it uses pixel binning! The senser is not 12 MP, as Sony lies, but 48 MP with pixel binning! When Sony turns on the pixel binning, that's the second ISO base, and that's why it gets much cleaner! You see, with pixel binning smaller pixels into a big one, you get the same brightness as the big pixel, but with much less noise!
A7siii: “its 12 mp nobody is taking pictures with it”. Thats is why people are still shooting the d300, d700, original x100 and even lower mp like the fuji s5 pro or d100. They are all used for photos and render colors wonderfully
You know, within 8 years smartphones will be able to produce some sort of open gate files, 8k or bigger. 10 bit or higher... then edit software in combination with AI and probably expensive plugins will be able to simulate DOF so well that you can have plugins that emulate an ARRI! Mark my Words!! But before that, camera's will behave more and more like smartphones which "have" to. be updated within 2 years! Really, mark my words, your perfect camera will be software!

In your A7S IV wish list, you omitted animal eye AF in video. I thought that would be your first request. Why won't Sony add that via firmware to their higher-end bodies that don't have it? Canon did it for the R and RP. Imagine a wildlife videographer with an Alpha 1, seeing the A7 IV and thinking WTF.
This sort of customer service from Sony is why I will never buy any of their products again.
@@nancymilawski1048 Cry harder.
audio sounds pretty good, the compression gods looked favorably upon you today it seems
8:23 - YES 😂 Get us that firmware update!
I have the S5 ii, like everything about it but why tf do I keep getting a moire effect on my videos? This is regardless of shirt pattern or lack thereof. My Canon does not do this!
I'm going to Yodobashi Camera UMEDA today. I'll ask and try to reply with their answer.
Kasey,,, I'm lumix S Series user... but I want a travel compact camera with good AF.. and have 4k and medium burust for Stills and Video.... I found Olympus E-M5 M3 VS Fuji X-T30ii...which one you think is better ? I will use telezoom lenses & wide lenses as well.
Hey, just passing through but heard something you may find interesting. After talking with a Pansonic rep, I was told that the latest Sigma zoom (50-600??) when used in sync stabe on the S5ii, and presumably other panasonic FF bodies, only engages vertical and horizontal stabilization on the camera body if the lens stabilization is engaged. Ie, stabilization sync works, but cuts out the waving motion, or so it would seem. I didn't have time to ask him much more, like which if any lenses do the same thing.. but maybe some of the wider third party lenses you love so much also cut the little waving hand off at the wrist as well =) When you test this, please give me a shout out, or at least shout at me by name. I could use the bump. Peace, and out.
1:17.. Audio ✨
SF55II is my favorite camera.
never had the GH6 but came from GH5 for video and Canon 5d3 for photo, now with S5mk2 for vid and planning on GFX 50s for photo. I'd be pretty content with that combo. No Sigma MC21 + ef glass for you? for super telephotos?
Camera conspiracies, what should I buy the zve10, r50, Rp or a6400? Jn a beginner. I want to do photography or videography as a side hustle. I'm looking for a budget setup with one good lens to start with. I'm thinking of the 50mm lens for the Rp fullframe and a viltrox 35 for the crop sensor Sony and rf35 for r50. Help me please.
A6400
To answer your question on Fuji 3.0 for video, it's still horrible. It couldn't acquire bird half of the times in video. 240p is still shitty.
1:07 had watched your Xt4 vs Xh2s video, xt4's 2k looks better, is xt4 still good option of 2k in 2023, or is there any other better options.
00:46 surprised, was not expecting yo get answered. But its cool
Audio is on spot.
R8 no ibis no mechanical shutter lot of dents should we buy it ?
Buy it and then throw it in the trash can. Yes, you'll lose money but you'll be keeping it away from hurting someone else. That's some real philanthropy :)
Camera conspiracy for you: Canon R8 price in UK is £1699 in US $1499 which is £1250 at current exchange rate. Why that difference? Panasonic Lumix S5II in US $1999 in UK £1999. Panasonic exchange rate is about right, Canon is a big rip off!
Yes - same problem in Australia. In some online stores the Canon R8 is advertised for a price that is higher than the S5II! Makes the choice pretty simple really.
I mean I'm not even interested since I'm into 1080p and a whole lotta aliasing (OG BMPCC OG fanboy here) but yeah, ugh. Why?
Bloody Mitsubishi
$1499 + tax
@@kacperpietron so Panasonic pays tax for you? They offer Lumix S5II at the same price in UK and USA!
I prefer the stealthy look of the S5 IIX. I just wish there was a new G-series camera with PDAF - and a stacked BSI sensor.
I think the GH7 will probably be your perfect camera, it will have a fast sensor readout, flip screen, PDAF, and probably 4K120 and 1080p240 slow motion, plus V-Log, the smaller more portable size and a pretty nice portfolio of lenses.
I don't know about the "stealth" look. Personally I prefer the classic Panasonic body design with its signature red accents that make their cameras look more fun.
@@randomoneforstuff3696 It's for the scrubs. They like "all black". The red accents went well with Zacuto gear too, I agree with you that it was a better color scheme, more fun as well.
GH7 could be close to a perfect camera. But with the tiny sensor the Micro Loser Thirds has, it can never be a perfect camera. Except unless you do wildlife only.
@@berkertaskiran lol you should watch why extreme depth of field is not cinematic (most of the time): th-cam.com/video/b63soRBbf3g/w-d-xo.html
@@randomoneforstuff3696 Dear Sir, as a pocket user (a 2.88 brutal crop) I disagree. If I could I would upgrade to medium format yesterday.
Jokes aside, yeah of course there's place for deep DoF and often cinematographers use apertures like 5.6 more than anything. But crop larger than 1.5 is really hard to deal with.
I can tell this video was recorded in 1080p and then uploaded in a 4k wrapper for better compression. You thought nobody would notice, but I did.

What do you think about the new Sigma 60-600mm paired with a Panasonic S5II? Could this be your perfect combination? Don't you dare to murder me for my third party lens suggestion!
At the end of the day, slow motion video is just high speed photography
Great video as always
its basically a paid upfront firmware upgrade with a bonus in esthetic.
It allows you to record to SSD and you have more internal file recordings. So not just a paid upfront firmware upgrade.
where can i get that map you have in the background?
amzn.to/3F2iIBr
oh god, was that 150-600 with shaky footage on the s5 my video?! lol
Just to throw in some S5ii(x) explanations: the S5iix almost certainly has additional hardware (controllers, faster internal data buses, etc.) that allow it to do all the things that the S5ii non-x can't even with the paid upgrade. And the upgrade is paid probably because having this feature in your camera as a manufacturer means you pay licence fees to the lizards squid alien demons from Apple. The blacked out design may be practical, but I agree it doesn't look very good. The lack of lenses really does my head in though. It's a young mount, unfortunately.
If that is the case, then I feel like the S5 II + upgrade should be cheaper than the S5 IIX.
I think the lenses are actually pretty good, though. The first-party f/1.8 primes are great, and Sigma has all the other stuff pretty covered, including portable lenses (contemporary f/2 primes, 28-70mm f/2.8) and pro-grade lenses (24-70mm f/2.8, ART primes). The 18mm f/1.8 is particularly a lens that no other mount has. Honestly, the only thing it's missing is Tamron. I honestly prefer Panasonic's first-party primes over Sony's, though Sony has better zooms.
@@mbvglider I agree, the paid upgrade doesn't make a whole lot of economical sense. People who know want that should just wait for the S5iix.
As for missing lenses - besides the 20-60, Panasonic has just made bog standard lenses (and sometimes making them even more bog standard by using the same housing - I do understand the advantages though) and the longest lens they have is a cheap 70-300. Sigma is great for cost and sharpness, but that's it, really.
@@AIP404 What makes you think tele or super tele is used only for wildlife? And besides the brand new Sigma 60-600, there are no superzooms or at least something like a 24-200, no tele primes. Lenses they do have tend to be expensive and fat. Sony, Canon, and Nikon all understand that compact and affordable lenses are desired nowadays. Panasonic is still in the "anything for optical quality" phase.
I think they're just milking. That's the only explanation for two very similar cameras. It's not a coincidence that they do this when they make decent AF. It's kinda pathetic tbh. They offered proper codec even with GH4 and now they make this BS. We must demand internal raw video for all cameras and instead they give you All I in another camera like it's a solution for anything. My freaking phone offers raw stills and they can't offer a proper codec in their 2000 USD camera? Let me tell you, lower end bitrate 10 bit All I, isn't even very good for grading and professional work and they choose to hold that back. They deserve a consumer backlash and any other company that tries to do the same.
It is easy to do camera reviews. But if you wanted to take a camera for travel (so we are talking small body size, low weight and may two lenses that do it all for general travel) that don't put you off going for a walk with all the equipment and more importantly look inconspicuous with it (before some tries to grab it off you) - what would you take? Micro 4/3 is off the - GH6 has a massive body. Any full frame is way off. Maybe you are going to say the Sony X3000 - but remember they don't make that anymore. I have had the Sony RX100 VII - totally unusable and sold it - as you can't see I thing in bright light either on the LCD or via the viewfinder. I think I found my solution - but I am not saying here right now. I do have amazing video and photos from my trip though.
Not fair. Which camera is it?
@@BackusCreativeImaging For me I took an X-T5 with the 18-55 and 55 - 200. Really small package, and have some amazing things to look back on. I don't video myself, and in India where I wanted to be non-obvious, not having a massive flip out screen to the side of the camera was a big advantage as I did not stand out in the crowd. The 18-55 is 2.8 at 18mm so is fast enough to be really good at night time.
@@colinhoward2200 In the end its all about the camera that works for you. Don't let the TH-cam scrubs tell you your camera isn't good if it works for you. Learn it well and before you know it, you'll produce better pictures than they can on full frame cameras. Keep being an independent thinker :)

150-600 stabe is actually pretty good. Even on my EOS R I can get good video with it handheld. Give it a try.
Because your EOS R doesn't have IBIS. Any camera with IBIS will fight the stabe of the lens.

HALP! Fuji 50-140mm w 2x teleconverter or 100-400mm? For documentary and wildlife videos and for some photography work (sorry).
It's a dilemma for me to choose one of these cameras for commercial works and short films.
Gh6 vs s5iix vs fuji xh2s vs a7iv??😓
You can't really go wrong
I got the xh2s and I love it ! Still Looking at buying the S5ii too though
Recording to SSD is huge. And recording raw to SSD as well. So, yes, a separate model. That being said, the S5iix is worth the $200 difference. Sure, the S5ii is probably sufficient for most users.
Yodobashi Camera people tell me the s5ii-X is for livestreamers and anybody wanting to do a truck-pan motion from 8K. Nobody there said anything about external recording SSD.
Can you give a $100-120ish solution for a tripod that can use the Ulanzi F38 system?
which path should i go for? sony zve10 + sigma 18-50 2.8 --> fx30/ next a6xxx flagship or fuji xs10 + sigma 18-50 2.8-> xt4/xh2? my main uses would be for filming myself for social media (dance) and also travel films. so most of the time i'd be trusting the camera with focusing when i film myself outdoors. imo i love fuji but idk if the autofocus will be able to keep up with my fast movement while i dance and want that blurry background for a shot. since this is gonna be my first camera, i'm mainly looking for 4k 30 with good AF and color science. let me know your thoughts!

Audio is definitely compressed -- similar to a McDonald's cheeseburger under a steamroller....

At 12800 ISO, the Canon R looks a lot softer than the Sony A7Siii
If you're at 12k iso, something is wrong anyway
Not for the A7Siii, in slog3 the base ISO is 640 or 12800.
@seeyouseemee3863 I'm sure there are uses for it, but people seem to see it as a way out of needing fast lenses or good lighting. I tried shooting a concert with an a7iv+f4 lens at 12k iso and i might aswell have used a phone.
Ahh I remember the days when you used to criticise people with mics in their shots 😂what happened?
About the audio, cant remember ever have a problem with your audio.
Tell me it's true-1080p 24/25/30fps FF (Full-Frame) use PDAF. 1080p 50/60fps FF use DFD (old contrast method). 1080p 50/60fps APS-C mode use PDAF. 1080p with any fps higher than use DFD. 4K 24/25/30fps FF use PDAF, 4K 24/25/30/50/60fps in APSC mode use PDAF. 6K 24/25/30fps use PDAF.
Any frame rates above 50/60 FPS whether its 1080p or 4k Doesn't have PDAF...thats it..till 50 /60 PDAF is present..
easy answer - one of the two is looking much better!
unfortunately you got to pay for it😂
You cut me man, Fuji rules forever

EOS R bro come on, try the C70 and FX 3
I think I was that guy who "complained" about your audio being lower than everyone else's. Thanks for going through the process of raising your levels. You are still 8.1 dB lower than the target limit though. The problem however is not that you are inaudilbe (for a few of your videos, your volume is really low, however it's better these days), the issue is that other videos that are loudness-optimised sound really loud suddenly, and if I watch your video after one of these, it is really low in comparison... Hope that makes sense.
This is a youtube problem and not a content problem. They know the loudness of every video they have, they could just let you equalize it automatically to a specific target. And the -14LUFS limit is way too little dynamic range.
Quality over loudness. The music world is already ruined from overcompression and maximizing loudness… killing subtlety, dynamics and realism, not to mention harsh on the ears and causing fatigue.
@@Kobrar44 Agreed. At the very least, they could let us have the choice of normalising it (or not), with level choices, just like Spotify does...
@@lekmusic I agree with you about overcompression and the resulting death of dynamic range. My original comment was more about how Casey's overall volume level was sometimes so low that he would be hard to hear at the same speaker volume as another video.
@@JasperLevi interesting I didn’t notice his channel as being lower than others - I do listen to lots of other stuff. Perhaps the channels you’re listening to are doing extreme maximizing…. Anyway :)

Gh6s Phase Detect,bigger sensor 8k internal Prores,2 Cf Express, no stabe😮Thank You
8k needs super high MP, every other spec will be crippled.
His "ProRes" won't even look as good as my regular LongGOP recordings because he doesn't know what he's doing: th-cam.com/video/eqF4R79NB3M/w-d-xo.html - You can benefit from ProRes if you do green screen work needing precision, but for most web work or independent work it's not necessary. It doesn't take long to make proxies from H.265 footage in Resolve with quarter resolution. ProRes is just an intermediate codec, All-I mode produces the same results at a practical level, but the scrubs see "Pro" and they go crazy, just like when Sony slaps on "Cinema Line" to mediocre cameras and the scrubs eat it up. Like what was said in the 2011 documentary "Empire of Dust", I'll say the same: "it's all so tiresome".
@seeyouseemee3863 I said "same results at a practical level", notice the word "practical". If you get your exposure and white balance right in camera, you don't need as much latitude in post. Learn to expose right. That also means I can color grade a video like this in about 10 minutes by tossing on my custom PowerGrade in Resolve because everything was shot correctly in the field: th-cam.com/video/eqF4R79NB3M/w-d-xo.html - I use the cinema camera in my eyes to properly meter subjects at the middle grey target. I'd say I do a fair amount of post processing. I make my own conversion LUTs manually for cameras (such as LOG to Rec709 approximation with no tone mapping) using a DSC Labs ChromaMatch Pro color chart. I denoise using Neat Video. I sharpen in luminance channel of LAB color space. I control tone mapping myself along with highlight rolloff and highlight bloom (only scrubs use mist filters) in post. Anyway, my point was and still is: ProRes and All-I are over rated for "most" web and independent work. It's not necessary if you know how to expose shots. Obviously I know denoising is better with say ProRes over LongGOP, but at an everyday practical level it's not, for web and independent work. Go watch the 32 hour color grading course for Resolve on Udemy, the dude had to fix Arri RAW footage shot by noobs who don't know what they are doing. He'd have loved my LongGOP footage since it's shot correctly. The motto is: learn how to use the camera. I'm not saying these higher end codecs aren't useful (they are better than LongGOP), but I see scrubs not knowing what they are doing then relying on higher end stuff without really understanding exposure. That's all I'm saying. It won't compute I know, but I tried.

X-H2s firmware update also tested for video, not everything you want here but if you're interested this is the link th-cam.com/video/7LXSA7CIqbo/w-d-xo.html
It performed terribly with that dog.
@@cameraconspiracies Also at 3m25s into that video the AF tests were done at f/5.6. Lol. Everything was in focus. "It's all so tiresome".
The issue with the X-H2S is that it is more of a photography camera than it is a video camera. Just look at how they have set up some the features: setting ISO obliterates the histogram, only one auto iso can be set and it can not be changed or tied to the frame rate, etc. The list goes on and on. I believe FujiFilm has the hardware to make this a great video autofocus camera--the XH2S has 2.2 million hybrid phase detect autofocus pixels and contrast autofocus pixels.
So many reviewers talk about Kaizan but do not understand what Kaizan even means. What Kaizan means is small, incremental improvement. And that is exactly what firmware 3.0 is. A small incremental improvement--very small. What FujiFilms needs is Kaikaku--radical change. Because only radical change is going to make the improvements that FujiFilm requires for improved video autofocus.. What FujiFilm needs is to get a new team of individuals to work on video autofocus to make the radical change this camera requires. But as long as we have these photographic fanboys at FujiRumors fawning over everything FujiFilm puts out then there will be no incentive for FujiFilm to change. The sad thing is, I don’t think FujiFilm even knows (or cares) how bad video autofocus is on the X-H2S. They pat themselves on the back and say look, were better than we were with the X-T3 and X-T4. While they are better, the other companies have made improvements that have eclipsed FujiFilm. Why is a 4 years old A7SIII still better way better with video autofocus than less than a year old X-H2S?
I got at an X-H2S at a price well below market price as a friend that was disappointed in the autofocus and made the move to Sony. However, this will be my last FujiFilm camera. Others interested in videography should follow suit. That is the only way the message will get sent to FujiFilm. Because their modest improvements with version 3.0 is truly an insult. Look we have drone and insect subject detection. Do they really think they are fooling anyone with these kinds of statements!

"Slow Mo" is for idiots! Use software to slow the video down, if you want to watch paint dry! The low light performance is the key for any camera/lens, except for cameras, which are specifically designed for daylight, like the best zoom camera Nikon P1000! Here is a conspiracy for you: the Sony a7S is the best camera for low light because it uses pixel binning! The senser is not 12 MP, as Sony lies, but 48 MP with pixel binning! When Sony turns on the pixel binning, that's the second ISO base, and that's why it gets much cleaner! You see, with pixel binning smaller pixels into a big one, you get the same brightness as the big pixel, but with much less noise!
A7siii: “its 12 mp nobody is taking pictures with it”. Thats is why people are still shooting the d300, d700, original x100 and even lower mp like the fuji s5 pro or d100. They are all used for photos and render colors wonderfully
