The quality of this review is totally stunning. Comprehensive, detailed, explained, tested and all done with slick, useful graphics and no fluff.
Really appreciate your awesome comment and support. Happy to know you found it useful
Man, hands down no ONE out there does such eloquent clear presentations.
Thanks Maggie!
Jesus Christ. This comparison is a masterpiece. Perfection. The visualisation, the dark theme, all the infromation... The video is 27 mins long and I felt like it was 10 minutes. You're awesome!
You've got a new subscriber.
Wow, thank you! And welcome aboard!
The BEST video about Panasonic S5 (and I watched dozen of them !) !
Means a lot to me... thanks for the support
totally true! :)
I love your work! Your graphics & cutaways are some of the best I've seen on TH-cam. Simply fantastic stuff!
Agreed, definitely the best I'm aware of.
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate it
Totally agree!
Super Video. Great job. What program do you use to create the graphics and cutaways?
FU Glenn!!
The fact that I find you one of the best channels out there is because you explain everything so detailed and worth knowing. but what separates you is that the motion graphics among that are so useful that I immediately understand what you're saying, compared to just a talking head, talking about the features or explaining certain drawbacks.
Thank you so much for the kind words. Makes all the efforts so worth it
Thomas Larmit I agree I have learned so much since subscribing. Great channel!
yes... it makes the video special!
Really appreciate your support guys! Thanks again
Best camera reviews on TH-cam! Straight to the point! Hate all the non sense from others.
Thanks a lot Aleks for your awesome compliments... really appreciate it
this is definitely a far better (p)review of this camera than many other bigger channels
Thanks a lot for the compliments! Really appreciate it
This is without a doubt, one of the most informative reviews I have ever watched.
Thank you so much Jason. Glad you liked it
The info, the motion graphics, and sound design! so much time, effort, and care went into making this... wow.
Reallly appreciate it,... thanks
No Bull-shit, straight to the points. One of the best review videos... Great Work Man
Thank you so much for the kind words and thanks for watching.
Glad you're back. Would be great to see some more of your S1H related videos!
Yeah I have a couple more planned. Will update hopefully soon
Wow. This is a great video. Clear explanations, real world perspective from an actual pro, and top notch graphics to help drive it all home. You are very talented. Thank you you for all the hard work and sharing your knowledge.
Thanks a lot Brian for the support, really happy you enjoyed the episode and got something out of it. Would love to hear from you again
Panasonic need to bring you on board as part of their marketing team. Your presentation and the effort you put in is incredible.
Respect that it's a fair and unbiased review without an attempt to cause contraversy and hate between viewers regarding brand comparisons.
Thanks Ed. Appreciate your kind words
The production quality of this video is quite insane. The information is gold and the narration is easy to understand. Big up!
Really glad you found it useful. Thanks for the support
Without a doubt. The highest quality review video I have seen in a long time.
Very impressive!
Thank you so much James! Glad you liked it
We all need to stop talking about Panasonic auto focus until they change to phase detect. I don't use auto focus, ever, so I am not interested in it. There are much more simple cameras for bloggers who want it. I am a filmmaker, I am interested in the quality and the assist features. The S5 is beyond what most filmmakers need. The idea that I can shoot FULL FRAME, 5.9K RAW, for 2000 bucks is beyond incredible. Many thanks for this incredible content. Brilliant work.
I own the S5 and watched video as a “reminder” of features…..fantastic…I had forgotten many features like continuous powerf
Technical, no frills, smooth graphics, I love your videos and I think they're the ultimate 1 stop shop to learn about a new camera and how it compares to similar offerings. Thank you very much!
Wow, thanks! Really Love the 1 sop shop reference :)
Your reviews are so informative and enjoying to watch! Thanks for the hard work you put into this.
Thanks a lot Amr for your kind words and support. We truly love to hear from you again
I came for a basic comparison and was taken to school , I learnt so much from this video. keep up the good work sir.
WOW! The editing is AMAZING!!! especially the size comparison part!!
This is my 1st full frame camera since my 80's SLR.
Oh wow! Welcome back then
You are one of those who explain the review in a very objective way, I like it.
Really appreciate your support! Thanks for watching
One of the best camera reviews and comparison videos I’ve ever seen! Thank you!
Glad you liked it! Welcome aboard jordan.
Love your presentation. This is the best s5 review video out there; straight to the point; amazing detailed visuals to make everything understandable, and great unbias review. Bravo! and subbed!
Thank you so much Somnang for the compliments.. really appreciate your support. Would love to hear from you again
Wow! Much higher quality than I expected and a great video!
Thanks Alex, glad you liked it
Fantastic video! I love all for he graphics and information. Excellent job and thanks for the video 👍
Great to see another video from you. Always informative and top notch!
Cheers thanks
Excellent video! Was looking at Xt-4 until this came along. Really well done, well produced. And like others are saying, amazing motion graphics! Keep it up, one of the best video centric channels out there. You deserve way more views! For any aspiring youtuber out there anyway.
IMO, the BEST and most technically proficient MOST PROFESSIONALLY PRESENTED (and highly creative) review on the whole of TH-cam. BRAVO! Award Winning stuff.
Thanks again ED! You're humbling me with your lavish compliments!
Appreciate your honesty and objectivity! I do value your professional opinion explicitly. You’re the best👍
I appreciate that!
I've watched this video 10 times and I learn something new every time. I think I will own one of these cameras eventually. Thanks again for the analysis!
Glad it was helpful! And happy it helped you understand things more about the camera
This is such a great detailed review !! Perfect show and tell to properly explain all the features of the camera. Clear for the layman, the enthusiast and I’m sure the pros. Loved the graphs and the timely coloured and animated annotations, accompanied with totally relevant b-rolls to illustrate what you’re talking about right that second (e.g. the cut to the 65mm lens on the S5 on set…). Loved it ! I’m about to scour your channel to see if you have other camera reviews like this one. Gosh that was good !
I have so wanted to love and buy this camera: such an inviting little body that makes you want to hold it and shoot with it, so many good features for photography, but that autofocus for videos is a deal breaker for me. The lack of choice in their lens lineup for lightweight telephotos (e.g. the sony 70-350 or 70-300 FE) is another one for my usage 🥹.
Come on Panasonic, please get that autofocus situation sorted! The rest (like lens manufacturer building lenses for the L-mount) will follow.
I want to give you 100 thumbs up! So much information videographers really want to know about camera. Love you work!
Really appreciate it Pavle! I wish I can give you a 1000 like to such an amazing comment
Spell Bound...! Take a Bow.. What an Amazing Review and in Depth Analysis. Loved Every Part of the Review.
Please keep doing more and more. It saves lot of time for each one of us looking out for help/info. Thanks 👍👍
Thank you so much for the compliments. Glad you liked it
S5... the SMART MAN's S1H ;) Great review!!
Thanks Richard... yes totally agree
Certainly the best objective review out there. You mainly provided facts, without including your own opinion.
Finally TH-cam recommended an excellent channel. Really liked this review, the detail and your very professional graphics. Super impressive. Subscribed 👍🏻
Welcome aboard! Would surely love to hear back from you again
Liked the video as always! Keep up the quality man!
Thanks Sagar
Thank you for the tech review. Exactly what i been looking for. I preordered for it to B-cam for my S1H!
Glad I could help!
Brilliantly put together. Well done
Im so impressed with the production quality of this video! great info and very concise thanks
My absolute pleasure. Thanks for watching
I watched this review like a blockbuster. You have the most visually compelling camera review style out there!
Thanks Akmal!! Really happy you enjoyed it ;)
@@THEDPJOURNEY Your S5 Review is Epic. And I love that you dig deep into technical stuff but it's still pretty easy to understand. Your videos are easier to digest than Gerald Undone's reviews because you put a lot of work into graphical elements, it's so much easier to understand complicated stuff where there's graphical support. Do you make all animations yourself?
Thank you so much Akmal again. Yeah I animate everything myself. Happy to have you onboard
Excellent review! Love this so much. You went into so much detail and I was on the fence about this and the sony a7c, but this review pushed me over the edge to the s5.
Even I’m deciding between the 7c and the s5..which one did you finally buy? How is the experience?
@@sulogno I actually bought the a7c, but only because it was cheaper at the time. I still like the s5 more and will likely pick one up in the future.
From all of the research I've done, if autofocus isn't a big deal for you, the st would be the better buy.
I personally like the colours out of the s5 more.
@Jerimiah Cook yeah exactly! I feel the same too :)
Awesome review as usual, congrats Sherif, so quick and clean.
Cheers! Thanks for the feedback. It’s a bit long though.... but couldn’t cut it any further
The DP Journey : stop saying it's too long...It's perfect and so pleasing. Thx for this great work and keep up releasing these. I know the work that it is, but just watch your like/dislike figures : it never happens on YT to get so many likes without ANY dislike. Really worth it. Congrats Sherif
Really appreciate your support! And yeah... dislikes are inevitable! LOL
Thanks to your videos on pro res raw, I made the jump and got the S5 + Ninja V Plus. And I love it.
Nice review. Not necessarily much that I didn’t already know (okay, a few points) but compiled into an articulate, concise and credible review. I’ve subscribed! Keep up the good work.
Welcome aboard! Glad there was "a few points" that you didn't know ;) I'll take it as a compliment. Thanks again
Best channel on TH-cam. Great graphics. I’m a visual person. The graphics help me tremendously. I bought this camera less week.
That's amazing! Thank you for your analysis.
Product reviews don't get better than this. Thank you.
Thank you so much Marc for the support and the compliment. Glad you liked it
Excellent video and detailed info as always!
Thanks again!
Awesome review! Thanks for all the info in a concise form.
Glad it was helpful!
Best review yet on the S5. Full of useful information
Thank you so much, really appreciate it :-)
We bought two S5 cameras and love them! They cut well with my BMPCC 6K Pro and actually perform better in low light. It’s quite amazing.
Love your graphs and talk!
WOW! What a review and very well done video!
Thanks John. Appreciate your support
Another amazing review, just top notch!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative video and well detailed. Thank you for your great effort! This helps me make a better and more definitive decision.
Really glad it helped. Thanks for watching
love the graphics and effort put into the production bro
Cheers thanks
Great video, lots of interesting info and slick presentation. For the price point, seems like a solid hybrid camera.
Agreed! Thanks for the compliments
Simply one of the best channels I've ever seen on youtube, It is like Gerald Undone but with graphics and animation!!! Outstanding work...! Thank you for your valuable help I received my S5 a few days ago. I was very afraid to switch to Panasonic because of the AF problem but I'm really happy with the S5, I was a Panasonic micro third user (G7) in the past but I left because of the autofocus and poor low light performance. It is my first Full Frame and now I'm coming from Sony A6400 which is a wonderful camera but know I feel the big leap of Full Frame at an affordable price... Hey men where did you find those wonderful PNG images in your presentations are soooooo gooooood...!
THANK YOU so much Jose!! Your words of support are what keeps me me doing what I’m doing in this channel. Glad that you’re happy with your S5! Don’t forget to make films with it and most of all share with the world!
Thanks again
Excellent! I originally only saw the cons when it was introduced but your review was successful enough in highlighting those unique video features that Panasonic has over its mirrorless competitors that I am now seriously reconsidering adding it to my toolkit. However, I shall wait until they deliver on those firmware upgrades to give us shutter angle, video exposure tools and the 5.9K RAW.🙏🏾
Glad it was helpful! yeah Waiting is always a good thing if you can.
I've ordered my S5. It will be my first experience with full frame. Considering that I'm a fan of Panasonic color science, I am looking forward to it. Once I saw you had a video on the S5, I knew I had to watch it. Thanks for your thorough "nerdy" analysis.
Great vid and review. Nice explainer graphics too.
Excellent review, Sir.
just found your channel and your content is top noche! Good job and really looking forward to following you more!
Dude u nailed it, you explained everything perfectly.
Great review as always!
I appreciate that
A super review, best of the best, content and animation wise.
Thank you so much for your support!
Insanely good video! Packed with information!
Wow what a great review and I love your style and presentation . The pros and cons and compromises that Panasonic made of the camera are well laid out. My sense is that you feel that you get a lot of camera for your money with the Panasonic S5.
Thank You for this comprehensive Information !
You’re most welcome
Brilliant review! Well done 👍🏼
Cheers thanks
Great video. Awesome graphics. Good stuff.
Cheers, thanks
Superb review ! Thank you very much !
Cheers thanks
Excellent review!
Your graphic is awesome!! Fantastic !! Easy to understand !! Thanks !!
Thanks for the support. Glad you liked it
Great S5 analysts video ...fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks. Really appreciate it
Wow, a great review. I like how you mention the camera capability along with your viewpoint or recommendation how it can improve in very clear graphic presentation. I hope Panasonic will listen to your professional feedback and improve its camara especially AF.
Thanks again for this Great review!!.. Please do video tutorial how to make beautiful presentation like this clip too..
Glad it was helpful! And yeah let's hope they change this AF once and for all... Thanks again for watching
Absolutely amazing review! You spend so much time to make all of these graphics and it's much appreciated! I hope Panasonic adopts a better AF system soon. I've invested a lot in Panasonic since the DVX100b and I've always been happy, but with the amount of gimbal work I'm required to do these days I've decided my next camera has to have a truly reliable AF system.
Thanks Matt... really appreciate your kind words and appreciation of my work. Yeah let’s all pray for them to see the light in a new AF system
The DP Journey but to Panasonic, the S5 already HAS a NEW autofocus system. This is the real bummer. New algorithm = New AF. 🤦🏻♂️
Not really... to them they just reached the max development of this system... next step is a new system.
The DP Journey I truly hope what you said is true. Im a fellow Panasonic user and I hope they stay competitive, which means AF...the only thing they are missing, but it is the elephant in the room by now.
I just had to subscribe to your channel. Amazing how informative your videos are. I have seen so many videos from other youtubers to learn about the S5. All I had to do was watch your video. I ultimately decided against the S5 because of the autofocus. Now I'm looking forward to the A7IV and the GH6.
the best review for cameras. thanks
And the best comment for a review for cameras! Thanks 🙏
DP as always THE BEST !!! Thanks so much for your amazing jobbb !!!
:-)))
Always a pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Best camera review video ever!!!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
So happy you liked it
As many others have said, great specs review, thx so much. So clear and charts/diagrams really well put together. I used to do info charts for a big company so know how much work goes into this. I have subscribed to your channel, the first TH-cam channel I’ve ever subscribed to. Eager to see the AF tests as other reviews have shown it to be OK tracking in video. I don’t know why it’s giving these inconsistent results, maybe there are different FW versions out with reviewers?
It’s a pleasure to know I’m the first channel you subscribed to. Yeah AF is inconsistent, in photo mode you get GREAT results. In video it’s not to be trusted. I did many tests and I never got something that makes it worthy of my trust.
The DP Journey Thx. I guess you’ll cover this all in your AF video. Would be good to know what settings etc make it work better or worse. Frame rates seem to make a difference. Maybe aperture too? Also subject setting and lighting. With so many different models (subjects) and reviewers, there’s no consistency of shoot environment, perhaps this contributes to inconsistent findings. I’ve never made videos before but want to give it a go, so I have no experience to compare it with, just what I see online.
Excellent review. I just bought one to pair with my S1H. GH5 matched well but S series will match even better!
Congratulations on a PHENOMENAL review! Instant sub! How do you edit all of your titles/animated graphics? BTW, thank you for being the ONLY TH-camr with the good sense to notice and point out the horrible headphone jack placement that gets in the way of the LCD. This is extremely disappointing! Shame on Panasonic for doing this, especially considering how they could have designed the camera with the jack out of the way, just like Canon is doing with their cameras!
This review is insane, thanks!
Thanks again buddy
Great presentation as usual thanks 😊😁
My pleasure!
This review made you look like you have 2 million subscribers. Respect!
Wow, great presentation, awesome content.
Cheers thanks!
your video is so pro and well-made!
Better info than most other S5 videos.
Great review ! Very intriguing 🧐
Thanks Ralph!
Beautiful work as always my man... I recently sold my S1, GH5 and GH5S and saw the S5 as a missed opportunity with the micro HDMI and DFD. However, this extremely well balanced and considered review might've just swayed me back towards Panny with a truly amazing value cine/photo anamorphic capable cam. Let's all hold hands and pray that they save us all and themselves from a horrifically dystopian duopoly of Canon and Sony.
🙏 amen
Amen!
Just for the record... Today I bought S5 just because this video. You shown me so many great features that I decided to buy one (even the terible AF). After a few hours of testing I love it. So thanks! Panasonic should pay you a fortune!
How’s the s5 working out for you?
@@ThePistonPit Could not be happier :) (well I can if the AF is a little better). Great colors, good workflow, great menu and settings, button leyout is great. Lens selection directly from Pana is not that wide, but I use 80% of time my 16-35 f4 from Pana and another 15% Sigma 28-70 and it covers pretty much everything I need (interviews, product videos, my TH-cam creative work, vlogging). Photos are top, easy to edit skin tones. Overall 9/10, no reason to change.
amazing review !
thanks for watching, Appreciate the kind words
Let's pray for the Panasonic engineers! Ha! brilliant review with amazing graphics. Your critique is right-on, though I am not sure (after watching your other video) if you know to tap the screen to confirm the AF tracking.
Though we now have the S5 Mark II with phase-detect AF and the II X with more video features, I bought this original model for its even deeper discounted price. The fact that Panasonic doesn't forget the older models when updating firmware to record external RAW is really nice.
Thank you for properly marking each section of your video including labels. :)
Glad you like them!
