- In this video, I take a look at the Panasonic S5IIX and why it's worth the extra cash. As a filmmaker and video shooter, I've had the opportunity to play around with the S5II since December of last year, even shooting a short film entirely on it. But now, it's time to unbox the S5IIX and explore its unique features.

Thanks Armando! This is the closest I've seen a camera under 2500 USD to challenge cinema cameras. And honestly, for smaller productions, this is good enough even as the A-Cam when rigged out properly, especially with the solid BRAW compatibility
Thank you for the quick overview of the differences.
The S5IIX is awesome 👏 great video man
I can buy this camera because of its look alone. Handsome beast.
Ordered my S5 II X on day one of announcement, sold my original S5 back then too so haven't had a b cam in a while 😂 Excited to get my hands on it soon and for the new features coming in!
Wow short and sweet 👍🏼
Hey Armando! Great video once again! Kinda torn between the 2 cameras S5ii and S5iix - is it easier to live stream with the S5iix? Or do you think an s5ii would suffice? Mostly using the camera for music videos/green screen stuff and live streaming. And we're coming from a GH6...
Pro Res Internally is awesome to me. Especially for long interviews
Thank you for this video! I am actually a Canon m50 shooter right now and I want to upgrade to the s5ii and it is already pretty hard to get the money together to buy the body itself and than spend more on the glass, because there is hardly any on the used market around my area.. Those 200 or 300€ make a little difference if you for example rather want to invest in the atomos ninja v to have a better display and more visual video features (:
Firstly I wanted the Canon R6 and the glass for Canon is way cheaper but the Lumix has some impressive video capabilities and maybe it is worth investing in that system now.
I own the S5, amazing camera, in the future I want to upgrade to the S5II X... there's a lot a features that I'm missing ...
Greetings!
Incredible!!!
Armando, have you tested the S5 II with a DJI Ronin plugged in with USB-C camera controls while also having a Ninja V (or any other monitor) plugged into HDMI at the same time? I'm wondering if Panasonic has fixed the infamous black screen issue or not.
On the original S5, the camera’s screen will go black if USB-C and HDMI are connected at the same time.
Hi Armando, Amazing video and amazing camera...I have heard others say this camera has a Moire issue.. did you notice any of that or have you. heard that ..
Will the livestream feature be included in the paid firmware update on the S5ii or is it exclusive to the s5iiX..?
Great video. Thank you very much. I have a few questions: Panasonic Lumix S5IIX vs. S5II both have the same sensor? both have the same video quality? i just got a 5II (no X) no 6K auto focus also 180 150 FPS no auto focus at (X) also same? I would be grateful for your answers.
what windows laptop do you recommend when video editing the highest resolution 6k of this? or what minimum laptop specs should i consider editing this 6k?
Thank you for the video. What the sticker on the bottom says? Is it made in Japan or China?
Can't wait for Blackmagic RAW with its 13 stops of DR measured on the S5IIx either. :)
Tsss esperando la comparativa con la fx3!
What are the correct accessories for using my Lumix S5 II with AC power and where can I buy them?
Armando, man I hope you can clear this up. What is the difference between 4K and DCI 4K ? Will I be able to tell ?
It does look goooooood!!
Nice one Armando! Are you going to do any vids on the ZV-E1, just picked one up
Most likely not, that camera doesn't fit in my ecosystem. It's a very strange camera because it's target audience is vloggers but the price is super high. Don't get me wrong, the specs are killer but at that price point It's a hard pill to swallow.
Hi Armando, I have just discovered that this cameras have no Low-pass filters, so it can easily creates moirè effects. Do you know anything about that? Thanks
Man, I wish there was some review material on the photo capabilities 😢. Especially with the MC21.
Can you tell me a tool to directly attach ssd to my s5iix?It has to be small
Armando, the people who don’t want to shoot video should not pay for the codecs can buy the S5Ii. Gracias por el video.
If they came out the same time it was a no brainer but I got 5months of paid projects done on the S52 beofre the X version become available after it did I did not see enough new features for me to bother since I have a ninja V for ProRes and Raw if I feel the need.
$700.00 AUD difference in Australia currently. We always get shafted on price down here! 😁
I just brought an S5ii I’ll buy the firmware upgrade when it comes out no biggie ProRes isn’t a make or break feature for me
Same
@@amarmuric6083 is it me or I’m not as hyped like it’s cool to have pro res and some of those extra features but not enough for me even though I still can return
@@darealphantom For me it's the USB C recording that is super useful. This camera takes SD Cards and even with a V90 transfers are slow in comparison to a fast SSD. Not to mention you can get that SanDisk Pro 1TB ProBlade drive for $120 which is amazing for storage.
@@mondobytes literally I watched the video again and realized that it does recording straight to the SSD not sure if anyone else does that it’s amazing that feature in itself no need for SD cards literally can get that ssd you mentioned and only use it for the camera 🤯🤯🤯 got me ready to return it but I did get a great deal on it from Best Buy ($1800 open box literally brand new I saved $400 compared to the S5iix) so I will just learn this camera since I’m new to Panasonic first and upgrade for Christmas
@@mondobytes yeah raw codecs and ssd is the future. Actually it was the future in 2018. It's the standard now. RIP anyone who got an S5ii
What camera did you use for this video as your B cam? The camera shot from the side ? The colours look great.
FX3
I'm too invested in Sony cams. just got the ZV-E1 but if I had to buy another camera brand it would definitely be a panasonic.
Sony (minus the frimware updates..) & Panasonic are definitely killing it!
I'm in the situation of choosing between Sony a7IV and Panasonic S5 II. This will be my first step into specific brand. I will need both landscape photography and videography, how you see that Panasonic is a batter option?
I am eager to see you making short movie with this awesome camera ❤😂
We already did 😉
@@mondobytes You didn't leave the link to the short film.
It looks very interesting, Armando. Loved that feature of the SSD inside the handle! 6K and all the external capabilities, although the Blackmagic Design Monitor probably costs more than the camera, lol! Thanks, man for all the info. Nice and compact camera
The top end blackmagic video assist 12G is $1,200 cheaper than the camera.
My S5iiX is waiting at the post office to collect Monday! I’m in a PAL country so most pumped to have Open Gate modes in 50Hz on the S5iiX. My S1H has OG but it only supports NTSC and 24fps. …this all in the context of shooting open gate Anamorphic, and there are simply NO other prosumer cameras that support anamorphic like Lumix does!!!
Congrats! I’m sure it’s painful to wait knowing it’s just sitting there. Enjoy the camera, it’s killer!
Yeah, love the design. I'd take three. 😄
Can you send me the Wallpaper on your pc screen in the background? I really liked it! Also great Video.
I just wish the upgrade gave us all the S5iiX features so that people could choose the color and then what features ya know? Especially since the S5II and s5iix are $200 in price…
For real.. I bought the X because looks have nothing to do with the tool but I much prefer the red accents on the basic S5 and S5ii and wish I could keep them!
Hello. Don't know if it already exists on the channel, but any recommendations for someone who would like to buy a camera for the occasional picture but who is short on budget?
Camera + lens combination would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Depends on the budget. Everything now adays is so good. For occasional photos you may want to get a point and shoot
Hello, hola CRACK!, como andas?, podrias hacernos un favor a futuros compradores de subir materia en formato RAW de la S5 MARK II X para poder chequear la calidad sin la compresión de TH-cam?, muchas gracias desde ya!, estoy entre la BM 6K G2 la GH6 o la S5 M2X un saludo desde Miami Beach, Florida!
We got like hundreds of comparisons of the S5II to the IIX, I am waiting for someone to compare it to the S5, cause at this point I feel like that is not necesarily that much of a upgrade considering I dont use AF.
Same here. And you can get the S5 second hand for around 1000 Euros in Europe...
So the x comes with the braw and prores raw hdmi feature without additional paid upgrade?
That is correct
If u are a filmmaker Which one u choose between Sony fx3 and lumix s5iix ?
Depends on what you're going to use it for.
Only short film
Great video!!! (as always) QUICK QUESTION: I cant find the answer to this ANYWHERE ONLINE. I am a hybrid wedding shooter and one of the issues I have with my current Sony A7s III and the A7 IV is the lag experienced in photo mode after firing off 4 to 5 photos and then immediately jumping into video mode to record a few seconds of video. How does the S5 IIX perform in that same situation? Currently I am looking at the Nikon Z8 since there is zero LAG in that type of situation. (from what I have seen online) but that camera is $2,000 more soooooo any insight you can offer would be a huge HELP. If the S5 IIX can switch faster than a Sony A74 with a v90 UHS II SD card in it, then I think I found my solution. Fingers crossed over here and thanks for your time and all you great videos.
I don’t know in-depth, but from a7s3 to s5llx is not a good Upgrade to be frank..
@@Akhi_Tech Thanks for replying. The A7s III is still the Low Light King in my opinion but I found myself never using any ISO beyond 12,800 and from what I have seen online, it looks like the Panasonic S5 II looks pretty comparable at up to ISO 12,800. I use 1.8 primes and Lighting so I feel safe trading the Low Light strength of the A7s III for the awesome video features of the Panasonic. The S5 II has key features like: In camera LUT Preview, Wave Forms, Open Gate, and the much better in body stabilization are all features that make the job easier. Besides IBIS, I doubt those other features will be included as firmware updates for A7S III. PLUS.... I used the original Panasonic S1 for a couple years before I switched to Sony and I enjoyed that system. I actually prefer working with those files than what I get from the Sony gear I have. I primarily switched to Sony for auto focus and low light ability but back then i did a run and gun production with NO off camera light. So Low Light ability was KEY for me. As for auto focus, I think the S5 II doesn't leave much to be desired. Soooo I should be just fine in that regard. HOWEVER.... if I am completely wrong, I will totally come back here and update this comment because others will need to KNOW this valuable info. Thanks again for all the awesome videos you make and for showing up in the world the way you do. You are a huge help to so many people.
@@JaimeDelRio First and foremost, I’m a videographer and I would like to buy s5 mark 2 just because of the advantages as you mentioned. In my opinion as a videographer, s5 mark 2 is the best BUDGET video camera that you can buy in 2023 and it has tremendous potential with a new sensor… As a sony lover , I think sony cameras all about brand value and they are focused more toward the quality than features ; I’m not say that , its not worth but it’s expensive when compared to other brands . End of the day , i will probably miss 4k 120 fps in lumix s5
mark 2 but i will get plethora of features that this camera provides… totally worth it . 👨🏻💻
@@Akhi_Tech Thanks for chiming in on this. Glad I'm not alone on this perspective.
@@JaimeDelRio 😊
Does it looses PDAF in FHD? Please confirm that. It is the only thing that stopped me from buying the S5ii. Please let us know that wheather it looses PDAF in FHD or not. Please please. I really want to upgrade to this beast but this only thing is holding me back.
That was the case on the S5II in 1080p FF 60p and 50p modes at least.
4k 60p crop???
Where is the movie link you promised in the video? 0:23

Does this camera have real time eye autofocus....for video...????
yes
monster
Well the latency of hdmi output is dealbreaker for me. Same issue was on my S1H, and because of the latency I cannot pull focus even with good cinema lens and a bare hand. So sad to hear that issue has not been solved... yet.
You can disable audio from HDMI in settings and that fixes the latency issue. That’s what we did for our short film and worked flawlessly.
@@mondobytes exactly what I would do if there was any option for sync (waveform or timecode) left.
@@DennisSchmitz We used Deity TC-1 Timecode for our bigger projects and had no issues.
@@mondobytes How does it work, does the Deity TC-1 output audio TC which can be connected to the BMD VA or Ninja V?
@@DennisSchmitz yup!
It doesn’t even shoot 4k 60?
ITS ONLY $2200!?!?!?!? ZV-E1 who!?!?
That’s it, I’m getting an S5 and buying lenses until I can upgrade to the s5iiX
Man, compare this "small packaging" with S1 and S1R retail box, versus this one shoes box... And "come with a charger" this is NOT come with a charger, so this is suck. Soon USB cable will be additional extra accessory. It's not a bummer, but impression that when you stepped into a $ht, not a drama, but not a nice move.

I don’t see the video u made with Panasonic…where is it?

Did you get the gratis Panasonic-Lumix trip & housing Trip to Japan? If so, how about the big box of free lenses in addition to cameras on an unlimited loan time basis. If so, do u feel that such an experience might in anyway have an impact on reviewers like you and others who might have been there as far as neutral factual reviews are concerned? Got to smile, would have been a fun trip. See that lots of Panasonic fan boys & gals cashed in on the deal. Most all of them had glowing reports. However, seems like the new Autofocus upgrades still haven't matched Sony's AF ability. Comments? 😎😎
Does it come with a charger?
No it doesn’t
There is no link for the video you said @0:23

I actually did not like the all black look it was one of the reasons that is holding me back lol.
Was waiting to here about an S1H mk2 but might just get the s5iix.
The color really isn't for me though lol.
Damn camera buyers are real picky these days. Crazy to imagine coloring of like 3 parts is that big of a deal lol.
@@CanditoTrainingHQ i think you are getting a bit too hung up on this lol.
I do like aesthetics even to the cages I use though to each their own.
Still ended dup with s5ii since it was so cheap used as I wait for the S1H mk 2.
does it record open gate?
Yes!
Yes in proresraw 5.9K with the ninja or bmRaw, may 6k option are opengate
Im all for the murdered out look .... BRB calling sony to have an FX6 Black edition
Just be ready for more overheating in the sun.
@@Skapo the FX6 doesn’t overheat??
Hi
We will see the s5 ii price drop to around 1600. Good for the rest of us.
Do you mean rise to 1600? It's already available for $1500.
@@keensoundguy6637 I meant the mark 2 lol. I already have the s5.
How do you think this camera could be approved by Netflix?
If the camera has a Olpf filter on is sensor and do 422 10bit C4K 24fps with log it can be added in the Netflix approve list but I don’t think it will be added soon, neflix will test the reability of the camera
Its not 200 its already way more between
Or find another review video where they have plenty of decent footage to show and not just talking to the camera?
You spent so much time talking about how the camera body is blacked out which is the least important part of the camera.
Why did i get a youtube snowflake language warning before commenting!?
Too bad that didn’t make enough of the X .. can’t find it in stock anywhere, B&H says new stock won’t appear till December 🪦
