The 5d mark ii introduced the possibility of a new aesthetic (full frame at f1.4 or even 1.2 really wasn't seen anywhere - even on big productions), made it accessible to small crews, basically made vimeo's business model work for a couple of years, and created entire industries that are now occupied by Tilta, SmallRig, Zacuto, Wooden Camera etc. I'm sure if Canon hadn't done it, someone else would have (I mean Nikon beat them to it with the D90, but it just didn't work well). Given what I've seen about it, this camera looks great but just not sure it's in that same category. I think you could make a case that the a7s was pretty important (the low light capability made new things possible and I suspect was the beginning of the move towards Sony on the part of small crew / single shooters). Maybe the c300 as well as the first mid level camera to get interchangeable lenses "right". All three of those cameras changed the way production works and basically changed the culture. Does this camera do that? I suspect it does what it does really well, but there are other options out there (maybe more expensive) that are pretty amazing as well. Myabe I'm missing the importance of open gate. Or maybe it's just a nice feature that represents the next step in camera evolution.
Best value hybrid on the market currently. And active cooling on a hybrid camera is the way to go! BTW, update your camera to the latest firmware. The E stabilization modes have been revamped to correct for the corner wobble at ultrawide focal lengths. There is a standard setting (9% crop) and a high setting (~42% crop), the latter is more for running with the camera but the standard setting already looks phenomenal.
I've been truly questioning if all the TH-camrs saying "this camera is on par with an FX3" were right, but given that you switched from a C line camera to this one is just the proof I needed. Now it's a question of good glass and actual knowledge. I wish I'll be able to take beautiful wedding videos one day with this set-up! Great video!
I just got mine last week finally, coming from S5. In the past I’ve been fortunate enough to shoot on cine cams for work, but these things are the real deal. You can blind test the S5IIX against the FX3 and it will win points. I plan on keeping this camera as long as I can.
Not only is the camera amazing but Lumix does live streams every Thursday so anyone interested can always ask their questions to Sean there or let them know features you'd like to see in updates. Really cool to see a camera company actually care. That and they update frequently and the updates are always shockingly amazing. Can't wait to see what you do with this camera, Matt. There's also anamorphic IBIS if you ever go that route.
Man this is so refreshing to come across. I made a short film on the original S5 and it was the most enjoyable shooting process I’ve ever experienced (and it looked great if you ask me). Nice to see more filmmakers using it.
Welcome to the Lumix Crew, curious if you use V-Log and how you have gone about grading the footage afterwards. Is it a simple Rec709 Conv for you or something else. Thanks and great work on all your previous videos :)
Solid choice. I respect and agree with your mindset on gear and investing into spec projects. Look forward in seeing what you create with this :) It always amazed me Canon didn’t put 10bit in the C200.
Fascinating. I am very happy I went with an s5iix as a new art tool, as many actual videographers love it. I am blown away at the features, and still learning. Lovely shots, and graded beautifully Checking the REmus lenses out any time ?
I love my S5ii, but notes: roller shutter is pretty mid, and wider lens do seem warpy on the corners (anything above 28mm seems fine) and i hope it's possible the s5ii will gain access to the new panasonic xlr module 2 with the 32 bit float it's also a baller stills camera too, it's fun to use the Real Time Lut function for photographs
When you use E-stabilization set to standard it will rid out of warpiness on wider lens. I get wobbly and warpy footage with Sigma 28-70, but with Sigma 24mm or 24-70 is less warpy than on 28-70.
This camera is underrated. I moved away from my Sonys and Blackmagics and am really happy with the the move. Excited to see what the S1H, BS1H, and the EVA upgrades will be like.
It's decent little camera. I used mine for a few corporate vids then sold it. It didn't blow me away, but I do kinda miss it. I sold it and a couple of sigma lenses and did well quite well. Ended up being cheaper than what I would have paid to rent all the gear for the projects. The codecs it can record to the ssd are pretty amazing.
Confused why the value is the LUMIX S5 II/X dropped so low on eBay in a short time, they can be had so cheap compared to other competitor cameras. Great cameras! Biggest bargain out there in my opinion. Only downside is the small lens selection compared to E Mount, hope L Mount catches up soon.
They are primarily used by knowledgable video shooters. Virtually no appeal among photogs, hybrid shooters and fanboys. Photographers have historically held up value of bodies and old lenses.
The first 3 minutes is exactly why more and more I'm pulling towards getting an s5iix. Plus I want to eventually step into the Anamorphic world. What better camera then one with internal Anamorphic Support?
I moved from Canon 5d3 to Lumix s5II which I was using for photo and videos for long time, perfect swtich (still not convinced with its photography compared to the Canon 5d3, but good video camera) which luts did you use for the S5II parks footage in the video ? beautiful work :)
Glad that you ended up buying this. Didn't you think the camera sensor was very sharp? Especially after Arri. Or did you add a little blur in the post?
Im still using C200 like my Cinema Camera - espacially for music videos, shorts docs, commercial and cine promos. But i have S5IIX too and this is my main hybrid camera - for events, corpo things. And this is perfect B cam for C200 - after a little work in post ;)
Right on, man. I had a Sigma fp - loved it - but there were too many blockers to just making stuff. I’ve had the Lumix for like a month and already shot 3-4 small projects with it. Absolutely stunning feature set for the price with lots of room to grow!
@@yojonass From my use case, which is about half on sticks and half on the go, I came to find that I wanted a camera with decent AF and ibis. I had to rig out the Sigma fp to compensate for not having those and it was taking away from the small form factor. I still love the image that comes out of that tiny camera but my kit is actually smaller and more reliable now with the Lumix. YMMV!
I have the 16-28 and the Sigma 28-70 is a great pairing! If you end up rigging up the s5iiX, you can add rear ND filters with either PL or EF mount to L mount adapters. Love your color! Do you grade yourself or work with a colorist?
Love all those shots! Sigma 28-70 is a great choice for being bit more compact than a traditional 24-70. The Sigma I series is worth checking out too, especially the 45mm F2.8 for a really tiny setup. Also considering the 17 and 90mm options as a mini 3 lens setup. I'm also on a big downsizing trend! I'm actually considering swapping from my S5 II to an S9 to get an even more casual/run and gun setup for everyday life (with it's own downsides of course). The IBIS really is the big deal with both of these cameras though, lets you be way more spontaneous since there's less need to rig it or use a gimbal. It was one of the deciding factors vs Sony for me. That and Panasonic don't really hold back features, they seem to pack in as much as possible for the money. Also regarding the stabilisation - boost stabilisation you mostly want to leave off unless you're stationary since it tries to replicate a tripod but it fights against natural camera movement/pans in a bad way causing jerky movements.
Yeah Panny definitely ain't holding back on features which I love so far. I've been playing around a bit more with the stabilization features, I updated to the 2.0 firmware and it seems to get a bit better with warping but does feel a bit unnatural.
@@MattAitia Yeah it's really refreshing vs the other companies! From what I've tested and also read from other accounts - the warping is more pronounced below say 20mm (just due to how the sensor shifting works) and the more extreme of a wide angle you get the more obvious the corners warping are. How is it looking when you try it handheld at 28mm on your lens? I've had some pretty smooth results on my 28-70 but I definitely spend more time past 35mm.
@@Matt-fo4gg I did some more testing yesterday, with the new high e stabilization on firmware 2.0, it crops in quite a bit but you can use it at 16mm. Almost feels like it's on a gimbal
@@MattAitia That's awesome, I suspect I've not needed e-stabilisation much yet since I've not gone as wide as you have. Good to know it's there as an extra on top of IBIS! It really unlocks a lot of shots and locations where discretion/looking less professional is key without a gimbal/rig (much like your shots at the start of this video/on the ride too)
@@yanickcrepeault-fortin5409 as mentioned in the video I had just purchased the camera and only used it in those shots for lowlight. So far it seems clean
The biggest issue for me is lack of OLPF. S1H was great but manual only focus really, all the other series suffer with moiré due to lack of OLPF, sadly.
@@MattAitia I both can and will 🤣leaving it out is just pointless IMO, and introduces a load of problems for near zero benefit. I think they only do it to make the H look better TBH.
Hello buddy, amazing video the IBIS is eater for 20 and above, so for less than that you will have a bit of wobbles, but it is not going to be as horrible as before anymore, because they have fixed through firmware some coding
It was sort of depressing when I saw your listing on FB Marketplace as you were one of the only ones still making c200 content. Looked like a pretty robust package but its crazy seeing how much the price has dropped on these cameras....hopefully you managed to get some return on the sale...the camera market in Toronto can be crazy sometimes...
Great review, thanks, I'm thinking of making a similar move, and this camera is so good for the price. I'm a little concerned about the rolling shutter and the moiré - where I live we're surrounded by pine and larch trees whose needles show up any moiré in a flash and quickly make footage unusable, but I've seen there is an OLPF mod that can cut this if you're prepared to send the camera off (and I think potentially void the warranty). It also slightly reduces the sharpness, which is probably a good thing. How do you get phantom power to your Rode NTG4 with the xlr - 3.5mm cable? Curious...
totally agree on not needing the latest stuff. I always wanted a large 'traditional' cinema camera, like an Alexa Mini, or a Red Dragon/Gemini, or a Venice. Ultimately ended up going with the Sony F55 after CVP's video last year (2 years ago now?) and it's been perfect for me. The camera is 13 years old, and looks incredible, even when the footage is played right next to some of the modern cameras from Sony. It gave me the traditional workflow I was looking for, at a price I could afford, and justify.
i was considering this one or the Nikon Z8 last year when upgrading to fullframe from fujifilm. i gotta say: the Z8 is not that great for video, especially at lowlight. i'm considering getting this one after all as a b-cam/a-cam for video & lowlight work.. edit: the Z8 is still amazing and I know that if I'd have gone with the S5IIX I would not have made the progress I've made in my photography.
@@mdenjoyer831 definitely go with the s5iix link in bio.... just kidding. I don't know homie, a part of buying a new camera is doing the due diligence to find what's right for you
@@MattAitia I'm watching in 4k it should be detailed as in other video reviews, I guess if you added film grain maybe it make it softer in compression..
It looks a lot like what I get out of my Canon M50. Almost identical, except for the crop. Like you, I'm told I'm supposed to be upgrading to FX3 but keep thinking of other choices. We'll see what I end up getting. The FUJIFILM GFX 100II has the best look overall but is priced as much as two FX3 bodies.
@@MattAitia it’s a power house like you stated in your video, I only said it because you said downsize from c200 to s5, but would’ve been a down size from c500 to s5
Its crazy how cheap good tech has become. I don’t like your skin tones in this video tho. They feel to magenta to me, but that’s just my taste. It does look way better than any Sony video tho. Can’t stand the sharpness of Sony.
We never appreciate anything until it's gone--my prediction. But we don't know until we try. It'll be fun to follow your new adventure! I'm not bashing the S5IIX, but it's a hybrid camera, not a cinema camera. Canon put all their effort into creating the best cameras for video only. No client will ever complain about how they look through a C200. None. Why? It isn't a mystery. Again, the camera is designed from the ground up to make people look great on camera. The sensor is optimized for video. The electronics are optimized to give the best look at the lowest bit-rate. (but you want RAW, you can have it). The controls, the power, everything is designed so you spend the most time framing your shots and the least time fussing with menu selections. Except when setting up a mic, when do you need to go into the menu? Small cameras are important. You need to have something. Perhaps the S5XII will remain as that camera. But to make a living? Ultimately, people want how they look on a C200 and not a S5XII. Again, not bashing any cameras here. Just speaking for myself. I like how I look better on a C100m2 for example, than my GH6. I'll be curious to see how your experiment goes because you're a super talented filmmaker!
Yeah according to him, his type of clients don’t care what he shows up with. Your argument is the image, and there isn’t a big enough difference to justify keeping it, so of course downsizing, saving money, and saving himself the friction and headache is a smarter move for him.
@@BrandonTalbot I believe it's lack of clients/work which has led him to downsize. He'll appeal to YT viewers who love the Panasonic system. He will be welcomed. Appreciated. But... I don't want to say anything else ;)

6K open gate sounds yummy
tis
it's cool that it shoots 6k, but I'm watching video in 4k and there is no details, did you blur them or what happened?
TH-cam compression
@@MattAitia I'm watching in 4k it should be detailed as in other video reviews, I guess if you added film grain maybe it make it softer in compression..
why not bmpcc?
🤷🏻♂️
what about gh7
garbage
Wanted FF
crazyyyy
🤪
It looks a lot like what I get out of my Canon M50. Almost identical, except for the crop. Like you, I'm told I'm supposed to be upgrading to FX3 but keep thinking of other choices. We'll see what I end up getting. The FUJIFILM GFX 100II has the best look overall but is priced as much as two FX3 bodies.

@@MattAitia What will I do with my EF and EM lenses?
@@CringePanda pretty sure you can adapt EF
Dude was that the MGC agricultural fair??
it's the CNE in Toronto
S5 aint a downsize tbh
why's that?
@@MattAitia it’s a power house like you stated in your video, I only said it because you said downsize from c200 to s5, but would’ve been a down size from c500 to s5
Its crazy how cheap good tech has become.
I don’t like your skin tones in this video tho.
They feel to magenta to me, but that’s just my taste.
It does look way better than any Sony video tho.
Can’t stand the sharpness of Sony.
Copy that!
I wish more filmmakers on TH-cam understood how to do audio for their video correctly..
Is my audio not up to your standard?
@@MattAitia a little touchy, huh? Hey, you’re a filmmaker, go listen and figure it out.
We never appreciate anything until it's gone--my prediction. But we don't know until we try. It'll be fun to follow your new adventure! I'm not bashing the S5IIX, but it's a hybrid camera, not a cinema camera. Canon put all their effort into creating the best cameras for video only. No client will ever complain about how they look through a C200. None. Why? It isn't a mystery. Again, the camera is designed from the ground up to make people look great on camera. The sensor is optimized for video. The electronics are optimized to give the best look at the lowest bit-rate. (but you want RAW, you can have it). The controls, the power, everything is designed so you spend the most time framing your shots and the least time fussing with menu selections. Except when setting up a mic, when do you need to go into the menu?
Small cameras are important. You need to have something. Perhaps the S5XII will remain as that camera. But to make a living? Ultimately, people want how they look on a C200 and not a S5XII. Again, not bashing any cameras here. Just speaking for myself. I like how I look better on a C100m2 for example, than my GH6. I'll be curious to see how your experiment goes because you're a super talented filmmaker!
Interesting take, thanks!
Yeah according to him, his type of clients don’t care what he shows up with. Your argument is the image, and there isn’t a big enough difference to justify keeping it, so of course downsizing, saving money, and saving himself the friction and headache is a smarter move for him.
@@BrandonTalbot I believe it's lack of clients/work which has led him to downsize. He'll appeal to YT viewers who love the Panasonic system. He will be welcomed. Appreciated. But... I don't want to say anything else ;)
