Patrick Tomasso I'm thinking about buying either the S5 or a Sony A7c for my person studio where I will be performing live music streaming as well as cutting video content concerning my music project. I'm just wondering if you think the relatively poor autofocus would be a deal breaker for that application Vs. the Sony. I think I much prefer the look of the Panasonic out of camera, and the 10 Bit applications for shooting music videos DIY also appeals to me. I realize you can color grade anything to look nicer, but I feel like when there's less work that needs to be done there's less of a chance you'll overdo anything.
I literally just got chills when you showed the pro res raw footage. Crazy thing is, i was watching it in 480p. Panasonic just came with the next gen version of the GH5. This camera will have the same legendary impact on the game. Ppl years from now will be making “why the s5 is still the best camera for beginning filmmakers” type videos
3 years later, I just bought this setup. It's paired with my MD and MC Rokkor lens collection, and I've fallen in love with photography all over again. Is it worth it in 2024, even with multiple updates and mark II's, etc? 100% YES. This video helped me decide on my purchase, thanks!
Dude. Coming from a 6D, nearly bought the GH6. You've sold me on the S5. Hybrid usage for me and the price is incredible. Really enjoyed your videos so far - just subscribed!
Man the falls, moods hitting right. Looks like a ghost town. Wish the S5 was out before I dropped all that $$$ on the S1H, value on this thing is (as you said) REALLY good. Enjoyed this one mate, nice to see you and Lee out doing shit.
yo thanks for that feedback that's good to know! i've always been struggling with having to put borders on photos and i never loved full screen 16:9 for photos either. might keep this up when im doing slideshows.
Now it's even better with a bunch of Lumix reasonable price prime lens.I looked at some photos from this camera with the 50 mm 1.8 and the images are stunning.
You had me laughing hard at several points in this video 😂 Great video man - 4:3 is a really interesting look, great for sharing photos in video! S5 is an absolute beast of a camera. Keep up the good work man 👏
I also use xt-3 and recently bought the lumix s5 with 20-60 lens and the lumix 85 mm 1.8. As much as I lime fuji colors this lumix surprises me with how good the color came out. I’m glad I bought it. Will pair this with my xt-3 for clients works.
Wow a Dodge Horizon! Must be the last one on earth. I had the good fortune to once own its sister the awesome Dodge Rampage. I drove a waitress home and she asked me if I lived in a trailer.
Great video! I’ve been on the fence about going to a full frame Lumix. There’s just something about Panasonics color science that I haven’t been able to replicate in my Sony cams. Really slept on.
the new color science that was introduced with S1/S1H etc that's trickled down to the S5 and BGH1 is one of my favourite out of camera looks right now. I'd say only the BM Pocket's are better in the sub $5K range. That being said.. S-Cinetone is really nice on Sony. I plan on doing a video about Lumix's latest Like709 profile which reminds me a lot of S-Cinetone.
@@impatrickt I’m working with S-Cinetone now. Its a great look but not *my* look and it really punctuates the difference between the sony and lumix footage in my videos. I’ve got a lot of work to do to get my head around it.
Such a good review! I had no idea about this camera. Surprising that it hasn't had much uptake in terms of content online about it. Those photos and that footage looked fantastic
There’s so many good cameras out. I started TH-cam with the GF1. This camera being this good and this cheap is tempting. Panasonic holds a special place to me.
9:41 those photos from the slideshow look just SO freaking amazing! How are these images edited, if I may ask? They've got that super genuine 90s kind of film look
Dang it’s been a while since I came by. Really missed your videos! This was too good and that classic PT vibe really made me feel nostalgic. Wish I could make some content again soon 🥲
I really wanted to leave a negative comment because of you saying to trole at the end but I want to stay here and I have nothing negative to say but for really thanks for the video it really cleard so big stuff up for me and I just made the switch from my canon and bought this camera just after the video thanks again
I'm actually a big fan of the aspect ratio. I get so bored of looking at 16:9. Also I've gotta say, I still like the Fuji look a bit more. Just a subjective thing, but it looks less digital to me.
Just came across your channel from Gerald. Loving your stuff on the S5 since I was just given one to test! Loving how good you make it look so I'll be deffo checking in for some pointers. Cool video. Great shots! :) Cheers Patrick.
@@FDFchannel1 it’s a Sony killer imo, video autofocus is a little different than I’m used to with Sony though and requires some tweaking. You have to make sure you use the right AF mode for what you’re filming and it’s not as fast but has good tracking. Photos have blown me away, lowlight is probably 7/10 compared to Sony but still very usable
Great info, I’m definitely keeping an eye on this camera. In the next year or so I need to get a camera. The vibe you have going with your photos on Twitter have been fun to see!
@@impatrickt you don’t have any concerns getting into the L mount? I know a lot of people seem to be skeptical or not the biggest fans of the L mount and the lenses that are available for it.
@@dericsanchez4081 ive never understood why. you have 3 massive companies making killer lenses for it (Leica, sigma, and panasonic) + you can also adapt a bunch of lenses. the roadmaps from Sigma and Lumix alone are better than anything Sony or Canon has announced for RF or E-Mount. Those new e-mount primes are all f2.5. The S Primes cover the entire spectrum at F1.8 for less than $700 a pop and they're compact. Canon FD lenses look especially good on these cameras for video too.
@@impatrickt yeah I agree. I think some people just see the GM lenses that Sony is releasing and then crap on any other lenses. But I mean those cost so much more than the S primes will for Panasonic. I was even thinking about getting just the body and the new Sigma 28-70 f2.8 but maybe it would be better to just get the kit lens and then the Panasonic or Sigma 85mm...
@@dericsanchez4081 I cant fathom how anyone could think Leica is the cream of the crop for glass... and then think L mount isn't worth investing in. It's bizarre!
Subscribed, Love your style but oh man those pictures of the motel are outstanding and are some of the most film like images i've seen come off a CMOS digital. I'm very interested in how you are editing in post, are you using specific luts or adjusting colours specifically in lightroom? Incredible going man.
@@impatrickt Thank you for the reply! Been using LRC for a couple of years now but may need to give C1 a try, I usually try play around myself and try use Luminance/Sat values to subtly tweak the images without going 100% instagram preset! Keep making awesome vids man.
This was the most pt video ever made, and i loved every second of it. now the real question, will you use this camera for your new twitter of you holding things? THE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW
@@impatrickt the 12 pro Max portrait is a HUGE upgrade from my 8 plus. I’m constantly impressed. But when it comes to video I still like “the look” of my little canon M6 better and I can’t figure out why. 🤷🏻♂️
Great video! I had ordered one earlier today and this video is just confirmation that it was a good move. Thanks so much! I'll check out your other video on it ;)
A7C is great too. If you’re happy with it - the A7C is lighter and has better autofocus. The S5 has better video specs other than that - the 10bit is a big advantage. I love both Sony and Panasonic. S5 and A7C are both great. Just depends on your preference.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis the colors on the a7c are like the older Sony’s (a7iii and a7sii) I’m not a fan. Also don’t like the body style. Looks like a cheap tourist camera.
@@impatrickt I do prefer the S5 body style as well and the colours from the older A7 cameras are harder to work with - and I don’t like the straight of of camera settings either. I get colours, in my view, equal to my GH5 in the A7iii in video with HLG3 and the Leeming LUT. So there are ways around it. I prefer Panasonic usability in general to any other system - but you can great work out of the A7C and be happy with the camera too depending on your needs. Great channel, man. Keep the S5 vids coming. 👍🏻👍🏻
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis yeah I think the GH5 is extremely dated now in color science. its a shame they never gave it a firmware update with the new processing on the BGH1. I even had the GH5II for a few weeks and wasn't impressed.
Thanks for the review. Best hybrid as of now. Just got mine in yesterday. What micro hdmi are you using for raw? Looks like you're not using the coiled atomos brand which is what im trying to avoid as well.
Ok, so I'm a beginner filmmaker/video editor who just graduated college with a Communication Studies: Media Production degree and I'm looking for something to step up my game in preparation for finding an entry level job that might have me travel and shoot things. For about $2400 I can get the kit lens, the Ronin SC, two really nice SD cards, and an adapter so that I can still use my EF mount lenses (with limited functionality, but it's better than nothing). Do I get this or the Canon EOS R (or a different camera)? I know anything is an upgrade from my Canon T5 but I wanna make sure I make the right purchase decision here. I'm also huge into photography as a hobby so being able to shoot awesome stills is a bonus, but it's not neccesary if going for something like a Blackmagic Pocket 4K would be THAT much better for the money when it comes to video. This video is awesome and I really like your content regardless if you're able to get back to me or not but I'd love to hear your input on this.
Loved the way you shot and presented this video, just looks sooo nice!! I'm cureently saving up for a new camera, and I've been contemplating whether to get the Lumix S1 or the S5. Currently I'm leaning towards the S1, as despite being a couple years older, it's still a beast of a camera. That being said, after having watched this video, I know I'll be getting a solid camera if I get either of them.
yeah the only major glaring issue for me with the S1 is the size. I really can't stand big bulky cameras. I just do too much work that's fast paced and on the go - I love that the S5 feels smaller than my GH5, and if you need to rig it up for a longer production you have a nice compact base point + once rigged you'll be using an external monitor anyways so you can just Ninja V the 6K Pro-Res or Pro-Res RAW and the recording differences go out the window between the two. I'm honestly going to start shooting the 10 BIT HD 24 on this camera for TH-cam. It's so damn sharp. Photo wise both cameras are indistinguishable in image quality. You'd have a hard time seeing a difference in video too. Hope that helps you save some $$ for lenses which is where you'll see the most vast improvement in image quality.
I'm about to shoot a film and I want to shoot it with a full frame... I've been using the Sony a6400 for a long time. Actually just shot a feature film during the pandemic with my LG V40 smartphone, and it was awesome, so no tech snobbery here, for sure. I've been deep-diving your videos. I'm leaning toward this camera now. All your fault. ;) I mostly use manual focus, even when shooting myself, and so, just "decent" autofocus is fine with me. The stabilization sounds key for me. Anyway... Thanks for all the amazing, generous content. I've learned so much from your channel about Panasonic, after being a "Sony only" person for quite a while. Peace/Respect
Note: also check out the Panasonic firmware updates that add significant features with every update (also grab an updated manual while you're at it - they update it with every feature update). Fantastic camera.
Hey! :) thanks for this video! I'm thinking about upgrading to this setup - i shoot mostly dance videos and movement concepts and i'm worried about the auto focus for the times that i use it. Do you think the system will be good for that? Thanks!
Ok so I’m currently running a GH5 and G9, 80% video work. I have been disappointed a couple of times recently with the noise in the image at early morning shoots. I have been close to getting a GH5s for it’s low light capability, however the full frame on the S5 would give me the desired results....I think. Any comments?
Thanks for the rad info. I'm gonna get this camera tomorrow. Just my 2 cents as a med student who's done his thesis in nutritional medicine: I'd advise you to avoid any stress and animal products to alleviate your IBS ;)
Thanks for the nice video you posted, full of technical and thoughtful details. in fact it is really a well made and complete camera, Pro-sumer and Pro, for a demanding and evolut use. To be considered with the excellent Sigma Contemporary optics, especially the standard “Sigma 45mm F2,8 DG DN C”, the Zoom 28-70mm F2.8 C, and 24-70mm 2.8 Art for a highly professional use of course.....

Currently I'm leaning towards the S1, as despite being a couple years older, it's still a beast of a camera. That being said, after having watched this video, I know I'll be getting a solid camera if I get either of them.
yeah the only major glaring issue for me with the S1 is the size. I really can't stand big bulky cameras. I just do too much work that's fast paced and on the go - I love that the S5 feels smaller than my GH5, and if you need to rig it up for a longer production you have a nice compact base point + once rigged you'll be using an external monitor anyways so you can just Ninja V the 6K Pro-Res or Pro-Res RAW and the recording differences go out the window between the two. I'm honestly going to start shooting the 10 BIT HD 24 on this camera for TH-cam. It's so damn sharp.
Photo wise both cameras are indistinguishable in image quality. You'd have a hard time seeing a difference in video too. Hope that helps you save some $$ for lenses which is where you'll see the most vast improvement in image quality.
I think its time you review lumix S5ii
Excellent video! One point, if I’m behind the camera can’t I just keep touching the lcd to bring back the focus on the subject I want ?
no it just hunts and makes it worse
Well, I'm sold.
dude you'll love it... but I might wait to see the update to the S line ;)
I'm about to shoot a film and I want to shoot it with a full frame... I've been using the Sony a6400 for a long time. Actually just shot a feature film during the pandemic with my LG V40 smartphone, and it was awesome, so no tech snobbery here, for sure. I've been deep-diving your videos. I'm leaning toward this camera now. All your fault. ;) I mostly use manual focus, even when shooting myself, and so, just "decent" autofocus is fine with me. The stabilization sounds key for me. Anyway... Thanks for all the amazing, generous content. I've learned so much from your channel about Panasonic, after being a "Sony only" person for quite a while. Peace/Respect
cheers! good luck with the film.
@@impatrickt thank you
Thanks! I just placed my order. 🤙🏽
heck ya. enjoy!
I’m triggered by this aspect ratio and intrigued all the same
to preserve the director's vision
@@impatrickt but you didn't even shoot on IMAX 😏
Sir how to get correct image in viewfinder or monitor before Photoshot.... As like as what we see in video... Shoot
S5 or A7SIII?
I'm looking into a profressional 4K 60 full frame, I don't want to compromise quality.
Both great.
I have to ask since you usually link the fujifilm xt3 as your favorite camera- do you prefer the s5 to the xt3?
By a long shot. XT3 is a fun hipster camera. I probably won’t ever get rid of it.
Note: also check out the Panasonic firmware updates that add significant features with every update (also grab an updated manual while you're at it - they update it with every feature update). Fantastic camera.
Hey! :) thanks for this video!
I'm thinking about upgrading to this setup - i shoot mostly dance videos and movement concepts and i'm worried about the auto focus for the times that i use it. Do you think the system will be good for that? Thanks!
dont buy panasonic for autofocus
Your review is insightful. Question: do you have any idea if the S5 and the GH5 colors can match up well in a multi-cam shoot?
Gh5 looks pretty dated now but you could get it close enough.
@@impatrickt thank you.
Great video, funny and informative. Im looking at the gh5, im a beginner is that a good camera. You got a new subscriber from Norway.
GH6 is months away. Probably wait!
@@impatrickt what do you think the gh6 will cost. I see you can get a pretty good price on the gh5
@@EspenJohan probably the same as the GH5 now. Gh5 is too old to buy now. I’d wait.
Hi Patrick, wait for the GH6 or get the S5 now?
@@ChrisHeathFilms S5
Great video
Did you get any moire or aliasing in 4k or FHD
It's something I cannot stand
Thanks
you will if the lines are fine enough
Ok so I’m currently running a GH5 and G9, 80% video work. I have been disappointed a couple of times recently with the noise in the image at early morning shoots. I have been close to getting a GH5s for it’s low light capability, however the full frame on the S5 would give me the desired results....I think. Any comments?
The S5 is cleaner at all ISO values compared to the same ones in any Lumix MFT camera.
I’ve seen a deal where you could get the kit 20-60mm & 50mm bundle with the s5 for $2299 amazing.
ive seen that kit for 1699
4:3 ¿! 🤓 it feels like the 90s but kinda cool 👍
it is the 90's
Thanks for the rad info. I'm gonna get this camera tomorrow. Just my 2 cents as a med student who's done his thesis in nutritional medicine: I'd advise you to avoid any stress and animal products to alleviate your IBS ;)
appreciate it!
Guys this is going to be my first camera as a beginner film maker, wish me luck!
PT now stands for perfect timing.
😂
Thanks for the insight man. I'm looking for a 2nd body.. my first is sony
Happy to help! Holler if you have questions.
Thanks for the nice video you posted, full of technical and thoughtful details.
in fact it is really a well made and complete camera, Pro-sumer and Pro, for a demanding and evolut use.
To be considered with the excellent Sigma Contemporary optics, especially the standard “Sigma 45mm F2,8 DG DN C”, the Zoom 28-70mm F2.8 C, and 24-70mm 2.8 Art for a highly professional use of course.....
hi, thank you for the content. What Uv filter was feature on the S5 in this video?
I don’t own a UV filter
It looks more film like than Fuji?? I'm sold
nah anything can be edited to look however you want
Can it use the same lenses as the G series camera
no
How would you say it compares to the EOS R6 (which is $2500)?
I don’t like canon. Couldn’t say.
I subscribed, when he said, "Don't Subscribe, you'll get more of this bullsh*t". Also, funny as f*ck.
I have IBD. Colon removed bc of colitis. Interesting choice of color grading. I want this camera tho! I have the m50
