Another great review, Gordon, thumbs up!

S5 have 4k live cropping function?

Thanks, I may not do it for every camera

You're welcome!

It's a nice combo!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the views!

Oh! Is that a good thing?

Thanks!

You're welcome!

I’d keep them and rent them out. Can make a considerable amount of money back before you sell them if you want

Thanks!

I would love to see your feature film if you don’t mind sharing it (or have permission)? Cheers

You're welcome!

Yes, I tend to lock my shutter and aperture when filming and just use auto ISO to balance the exposure.

Sigma will bring them - they already have a 100-400 in the L mount.

Any opinions on the new gh6?

@@felipecourtois7883 It seems to be a very good Video Camera and a good stills Camera. I own the new OM1 and it is AMAZING!!

@@TITAOSTEIN was it stills or video that locked you into the om1? Just curious

@@felipecourtois7883 both! The IQ and AF are very very good for video and stills.

I prefer to film with the 6400 for its AF

@@cameralabs Thank you. I have the 6400 and was considering switching for the S5.

not as good as sony and canon AF tho. that's the only weakness. though if movement isn't too, s5 seem pretty usable.

MyOwnSoul You do know you could just lock the subject in focus and it will not hunt or lose focus. It only happens when you turn on auto focus you get hunting and pulsating effect.

The auto focus isn’t bad you can adjust the speed and the movement of it in the settings

I show you what the AF is like in the video, what did you think of it?

@@cameralabs I would say the focus when your face is in the same spot in the same distance is great, but when it comes to CATCHING and searching you around the viewfinder, it has quite some problems.

The Sigma L mount lenses are well-priced.

Thanks! I don't understand either!

@@cameralabs I think they are dislike bots.

@@DeepteshLovesTECH why would someone put the effort into disliking me that much?!

So long as you watch them both!

@@cameralabs of course

It's also a great price new

Aye, got mine (1 year old, 1200 shots) for just 850€ which is just a killer-deal. I don't need PDAF for my videos, also inferior battery life, more weight and a fan are big no-gos for me. Mk1 for the win!

You will get better dynamic range with the S5 and you can add the Sigma DG DN OS 100-400mm, it will be sharper, less expensive and with less noise for the same ISO compared to the 50-200mm on your G9. But the G9 stabilization is better, the 10-25mm is a very good lens (but heavy), better than 20-60mm S. The 50-200mm is only 650gr compared to the 1130gr of the 100-400mm DG DN. It is a tough choice ...

Very different cameras... the A7C is one of the most compact full frame cameras, but it's lacking a lot of the pro features of the S5. The main advantage of the A7C is the autofocus and size... if those points are not as important to you, the S5 is the better (and much more feature packed) deal.

Potatojet has it. Recovers blown out highlights uncannily well

How much are you spending, and do you have any lenses?

@@cameralabs i recently sold all my old gear, have no camera and no lens... Starting from scratch...

@@aniruddhadeshpandestudio2891 I can't help you if you don't provide a budget.

@@cameralabs oops, well looking to keep it below USD 2000...

@@aniruddhadeshpandestudio2891 including a lens or body alone?

Good choices!

In the menu go to cog (third from top on left), then image quality (top centre), and the bottom of the first page is Creative Video Combined Set. This allows you to separate photography and video preferences for F/SS/ISO/Exposure Comp, White Balance, Photo Style, Metering Mode, and AF Mode.

If you're one of the many who use Canon and Sigma lenses with Speedbooster on the GH5, you'll only need an adapter for the S5.

@@raksh9 I'm agree. The S5 body is cheaper than GH5 new body + new Metabones XL. I'm really tempted with S5. But still waiting for more review though.

Kipon & Sigma have a whole series of affordable L mount lens, you don’t have to buy native, you could also buy EF or F mount adapters for affordable Canon and Nikon glass.

Gh6 or bust for panny for me, I’ve invested in 11 lenses. No way I do anything else Panasonic if they don’t come out with a GH6 soon

Aaron Harper On this note: if they bring a GH6 the Leica 10-25 f1.7 will sell like hot cake. Without GH6 I will not buy this lens - or any other MFT lense.

Sometimes there's more than double the res difference between 1080 and 4k on some cameras. i can't remember off the top of my head for the S5, but I'd have mentioned or shown any differences in this video,

Maybe a power saving mode? Or try turning off and on after you zoomed?

@@cameralabs I think I found the solution, if I click on the +- button and I lower the number, the lag is gone. But I can see that you have a MM icon instead of +-. Is there any difference between the two?

@@sequelproductionsfilms I think one is within the movie mode vs the photo modes

@@cameralabs That's probably it! Thank you!

@@sequelproductionsfilms yes, always make sure you're in the movie mode when you're filming video

Doesn't this have something to do with the sensor limitation on the supplied sensor (which is supplied by Sony incidentally)??

Do you mean log recording? Most log modes are between 400 and 800iso at their base.

No, in 4k 60p, it's only APSC on the S5. It can be 10 bit, but 4:2:0, not 4:2:2.

@@cameralabs Thank you. How can I edit 10 bit using Windows 10? Cyberlink PD can not handle 10 bit video clips. Can I just upgrade to intel 9 processor to edit 10 bit clips?

@@MarieLou3M you could try Premiere or Davinci Resolve, or just don't shoot 10 bit - I don't!

@@cameralabs Thank you, I don't shoot 10 bit on my GH5 but missing 4K 60fps on S5 is a downside.

@@MarieLou3M I'm not sure what you mean - the S5 does have 4k 60. Although as you know it's cropped. is that the issue for you?

Oh please. Panasonic does not care about youtube whiners, either you learn how to shoot in manuel focus or go get a cheap overpriced Sony, Canon or the overheating Fuji. And Panasonic will be in business a very long time. It's funny that no one complains about the micro 4 thirds Black Magic Design which has no auto focus but wanna complain about Panasonic, SMH.

Definitely, it's a very strong camera.

No, sadly not,

Laowa 7.5?

@@evenaicantfigurethisout it's an option.... but I meant the native mft lenses from Panasonic. Last decade they are making best video featured cameras, but haven't produce a single manual focus cine lens for video, a simple inexpensive set of glass for videomakers... Of course, we can adopt many lenses, including Laowa(which produces horrible color fringing), but that voids all features for lens geometry correction and artifacts in camera bodies, which corrects most issues with supported lenses in firmware. Panasonic could of done that many years ago, but they decided to cripple entire MFT system... for years... since GH1-2... "funny" thing is, last year they insulted entire MFT owners community, who invested if their glass, with 5-in-1 10-25mm lens, setting the price of $1800(US) while selling most bodies around $700-$800! We already have 12, 14, 15, 20 and 25mm... we only need 9 or 10mm ultra wide small pancake primes for around $199... I have 3 MFT bodies and also own 2 hybrid cameras(FZ150 and FZ300) with 25-in-1 Leica lenses, 25-648mm f2.8, one of the best glass I have for video(yes, constant f2.8 recording un-cropped 4K with zero distortions), Today FZ300 still sells for $399, the entire camera!... M A R K E T I N G!!! Speaking of which, the S5, same G9 body($904 shipped from B&H last year) with FF sensor today costs $1899 plus tax... question for everybody...would you pay an extra $1000 for full frame sensor "to move forward"?

I tell you in the video and provide links in the description and pinned comment.

Ha ha! I'd not thought of that!

@@cameralabs You say it very quickly lol. I think this is a perfect camera for night footage. Much more complete than BlackMagic Pocket 4K. One needs a good auto-focus only when one does weddings etc, otherwise which serious videographer would trust continues auto-focus.

that's my curse

If the dancers are in a show and you're in the audience, it should be fine, but if you're on stage and closer to them, you'll prefer the continuous AF of Sony and Canon.

@@cameralabs got a brand new alpha3 for 1400$ went for it, im not disapoointed

@@MounMoun69 Great camera

You can ask me directly! Most of my samples are shot / filmed around Brighton UK

@@cameralabs will do that in future, tahnk you.

You do realize that that is like the easiest thing to fix ever when shooting 10 bit?

Also, for the vlog, it's accurate for his skin go have a slight green tint, since he's in the actual forest so most light hitting him has bounced off of the leaves.

@@omeharto288 U R mistaken ,, Panasonic produce skin tone in green channel both vlog n cined

@@omeharto288 when iam trying to fix that. the skin tone gone red channel the colour look magenta

@@isart3757 well I have never had any problems with that, try using the hue slider with the skintones line.

Did you watch the video?

KZfaq punishes videos that are too long, so if I went slower, it'd get less views!

@@cameralabs I didn't know that, Gordon. Thanks for the info.

Too bad :(

Most dedicated camcorders have v small sensors, non-removable lenses and far fewer pro features. Models like the S5 are not stills cameras, they're hybrid cameras, designed for both.

@@cameralabs, lol. Even handycams can also shoot still images!

@@quazisanjeed6395 The same versatility and image quality in a dedicated video camera costs much more. The Sony FX9 is more than £11k, the Panasonic S5 with with 20-60 lens has a street price of around £1600. Another £1000 will buy a good mic, cage and Atomos Ninja.

@@borderlands6606 pros aren't bothered with those. They select pro-grade equipment. The one presented here doesn't meet those requirements.

@@quazisanjeed6395 Professional equipment is any gear that makes money for the user. A content creator, wedding videographer and broadcast filmmaker have different requirements. For some a small sensor and fixed zoom lens would be adequate, for others not so. If you want the highest visual quality and industry build standards (interchangeable lenses, high data rates, solid codecs, ports, electronic or manual focusing devices), expect to pay x5/10 of the enthusiast equivalent. Mirrorless cameras can achieve most of those criteria, which is why they are increasingly popular for revenue earning jobs.
