I kinda enjoyed watching this review, you explain everything with the smile on your face (and I see that filmmaking is your passion) and this makes the video so easy to watch, thanks
Subscribed, thanks YT algorithm! I have the S5II but love, love the GH6. The screen on the S5 is what’s holding me back from shooting on it more. The versatility on the GH6 screen is awesome
I love when the algorithm brings dope people this way! I hear you! I have that same screen from the GH6 on my S1H and miss it. I occasionally still find myself reaching to the bottom trying to tilt it up on my S5IIX hahaha
Camera is such a beast man. Great review. Small thing, but you keep hitting the desk with your hands and the sound of the bump is all over the video. Maybe change your mic setup so it's not on the same surface as your hands or something. Just a friendly tip!
Thanks Cesar! Vertical kinda sucks, but honestly, makes a lot more sense for mobile device delivery. Also have you considered the Lumix DMW-BGS5 Battery Grip? It will add both weight and battery life to the setup
Thanks for taking the time to watch Jay! It does make sense for mobile device delivery… but I wish it wasn’t the norm 😞🤣 I haven’t actually! That’s a great idea. I may pick one up!
Bro! Good video but you gotta get the mic off the table if you're going to keep thumping the desktop with you hands. Audio.... the ofter overlooked necessity of video production.
I know I get too excited and start smashing the table bro 🤣 I didn’t notice until I started editing and was like “ I guess this is gonna be a ASMR video now” 🤣
Subscribed directly, nice channel, and I agree with all the positives (I have a S5iiX and the original S5), but I prefer a lighter camera, for me is is just fine like it is. Small feedback about the sound of your voice in this video: for me it has to much bass (checked both with speakers and headphones). For the rest, top notch 👍
I'm glad you enjoy the weight! Do you typically do hand held work? Thank you so much for the feedback! Ill work on that. I really suck with audio and the fact that I kept slapping the table doesn't help haha
@@cesarlorca_ Handheld or tripod... I'm really not into gimbals... I do also have a cage with handle on it, and often with a SSD attached on it. But that makes it still quite light weight, although it also depends on the lens.
great review! love the shots you mixed in with the talking head. was wondering how you get your footage to display as 'widescreen' in youtube, any hints? thanks!
I appreciate that! It’s a great way to show what these cameras are capable of. And of course, Instead of adding black bars in post I just edit in a 4096x1716 timeline 🤝
Good video! I’m currently shooting music videos with the GH6, but I want to upgrade to a full-frame camera. Now I’m torn between the Lumix S5iiX and the Sony FX3. Which one would you recommend? Is the extra cost for the FX3 worth it?
Man, both the cameras are so good I can’t even lie. The only reason I’d say to go lumix is because you already know the ecosystem! But both cameras are power houses!
I chose this camera specifically over m43 because of the light weight. VERY helpful for the adventure video and photography projects I work on. Less fatigue.
Hi, Cesar, thanks for the video. Tell me, please, how often do you face the moire issue? I think the s5ii/s5iix is fantastic, but the lack of low pass filter is killing me. Share with us your own experience, please

@@cesarlorca_ Thanks. How do you crop the video into vertical in post? Not sure what editor you use and if it has an auto crop or if you have to do it manually.
@@michaelbell75 I always have my grid on my camera! So I keep the subject in the middle of one of the three grid lines and I know I can reframe it. I use resolve to edit but both resolve and premiere have a auto reframe feature so I just use that!
This means the world!! The s5ii doesn't have the same video features as the s5iix out of the box but LUMIX did drop a update. You can pay to unlock the features if you already have a s5ii to get it but the cost ends up being almost the same as buying a s5iix! I think it comes down to which body you like the most!
what about the hdmi delay? Does it bother you a lot. Its actually the thing that holds me back the most. I am shooting on a bmpcc right now and there is literally no hdmi delay and for working with a focus puller this feature is essential for me
It did bother me at first but I found a work around I saw a video that said to take the audio input out of the monitor and it fixed the delay a ton. There is still a little but it’s definitely manageable
Thanks for watching!!! I haven’t had any issues with moire but I did notice the monitor lag. I don’t record externally and just use the monitor for viewing so a quick fix is to go into the menu to turn off "Sound Output (HDMI)". This will stop audio from going to the external device, but it fixes the delay a ton!
Thank you for your presentation. I thought to upgrade to it, but decided against it, because am still dealing / learning the 6 I now REGRET watching your presentation. good luck
once u see af squares pop up on the screen on the face just tap on the square to lock it, you will see cross-marks appear on the square and it will stay locked
It totally depends on you’re shooting style and if you’re primarily going to be need 60 fps often. If the crop bothers you then I’d say the Sony but if you don’t mind a small crop then I’d say lumix. I don’t shoot slow motion a lot but I’m not a fan of the crop
I agree… But I’ll be even more upfront about it… If you like vertical video, then you’re completely clueless. We live in a horizontal world. Can you imagine standing at the edge of the ocean and you only look up and down and you don’t see side to side… Let’s put up a sign; morons for vertical video. Panasonic a nice camera, but Sony gives you a much better image. At least that’s been my experience.
Great camera but that 22ms readout speed is unbearable - I’d even say unacceptable with the tech available here in 2023. Regardless, great camera for the price it’s at the horrifying rolling shutter performance won’t affect some types of shooting styles.
I was unaware of this issue and tested it today. I did see the rolling shutter especially at around the 70mm range. I agree that it wont affect some shooting styles buts its definitely something to take note of
@@Yupthereitism I’m not being dramatic at all. In fact, I’d say it’s you being dramatic, since you’d go the length to insinuate I need to be better when all I did was speak on the reality of a camera’s weakness, even after I said it’s still a great camera and the RO speed won’t affect some shooting styles. An interesting statement by you, honestly, because one - it’s understandable you’d think that and two - you’re neither right nor wrong lol. Any cinematographer would use what they have and base their shots according to their camera’s limitations, myself included. If I absolutely needed to, I would use this camera if I didn’t have access to another, and I would form my shotlist according to it. But it doesn’t matter how good of a cinematographer you are… a 22ms readout speed will not render motion well, especially when panning, or better yet.. whip panning. In fact, one wouldn’t even need to pan… if you were filming out of a car window at 45mph and a light pole that was 10 meters away passed through the frame perpendicular to the direction the camera is pointing, it would look like the leaning tower of pisa, as well as any other parallels around the same distance in frame. That’s one example. It can affect something as simple as a subject waving a flag, with the appearance of the flags shaft being warped. For those reasons, and many others, cinematographers will upgrade from cameras like these to cameras with sub 10ms RO speeds, because they simply render basic motion better.
@@Eyeofkamau I totally agree with you and thought about the same that the rolling shutter has such a huge impact on the motion rendering but on the other hand the bmpcc6k has also a pretty bad and slow shuttter, though the image coming from this camera is insanely beautiful. so i think it's not just the rolling shutter. Altough I see the issue and I also always see the results of rolling shutter in video.
@@chrisjmedia indeed. It ultimately boils down to working within the camera’s limitations. Incredible things can be created with this camera still - it just won’t have the versatility of cameras with faster readouts, but not every shot requires a blazing fast readout. So, this camera is still great
I personally don’t like vertical video because it ruins composition. I’m such a sucker for creative story telling through composition but I may also just be a whiney baby about it hahaha

Would this be good for hybrid travel and mini documentaries ? Run and gun style no rig

This means the world!! The s5ii doesn't have the same video features as the s5iix out of the box but LUMIX did drop a update.

Glad it was helpful!
can you comment on slow-mo and autofocus together? did they fix firmware or not? talking about loss of PDAF at higher frame rates
Gonna test this!
Are you also experiencing the issue where the option to down convert the resolution when an hdmi cable is plugged in is greyed out?
I haven't had that issue!
Do you use a screen protector for the LCD, and if so, which one?
I don’t use one! But that’s a great idea
Also I agree the AF is great for interviews but it has a ways to go for multi person shots and the tracking mode has been useless to me unfortunately.
I usually stop up to around a 3f or 4f when I have multiple people in frame but I'm going to test that out to see how it performs next time!
once u see af squares pop up on the screen on the face just tap on the square to lock it, you will see cross-marks appear on the square and it will stay locked
