Really enjoyed your video. A couple of years ago I decided to go full frame and bought into Sony. After struggling with the menu system, the ergonomics, the flip out screen that doesn’t offer enough to make it worth while and is almost useless in bright sunlight, the auto focus system that seems to work on the principle that close enough is good enough. I had enough and am in the process of selling all my Sony gear. I found a nearly new S5 with the 50mm and 20-60mm lenses on eBay. I know the camera is not perfect. But it feels right when I hold it, it focuses where I want it to and the colour science has got to be amongst the best of any camera brand. I am enjoying photography once more.😊

Cause it's all about shooting at all! :D I really got excited to use a camera like yours and make the switch from my blackmagic too because i want the freedom of that ease of use to go anywhere anytime.

This camera (OG S5) seems to have a 16bit sensor readout mode since the VLOG profile can see all 16+ stops of dynamic range which is impressive but of course the noise counters that back to 12. The S5ii is only capable of seeing 14 stops, which tells me they lowered the bitdepth (might be to speed up the readout)

I agree, I use Panasonic camera since a long time and the S5 has much nicer rendering than the S5II with most profiles. The S5II looks very plastic with very bad fine details rendering. V-Log is OK on the S5II, but not exactly the same than the S5, it has slightly less details but more agressive digital sharpness. I don't know if it's because of PDAF because the GH6 also has weird details compared to the GH5 or the G9. I think it's because of the new engine developed with Leica. For me they killed the fantastic image quality than Lumix had before.

Someone who knows what they're doing can get cinematic images out of both. The A6700's advantage is having comparable image quality to an S5 in a smaller size and excellent autofocus. The S5 is much easier to use, has better monitor/EVF, has dual card slots, never overheats. They're built like tanks. Pro work- S5 no question. Longevity - S5. Portability - A6700.

Whatever works for you! I never got along with the gh5 but that was years ago now haha

I agree the GH5 in 6K Open Gate has one of the best image I have seen. I think if you like this look, you could like the S1H or S1 6K Open Gate, it looks very similar. However the S5 with sharpness at -5 or 0 in V-log is pretty close. The S5II however is a big disappointement for video quality.

It seems like a great cam however I see in most footage yellowish tint and mudy grainy texture spacialy in the background which makes the overwhole image not clean. Is it only me?

LOVE my s5, only downside for me is the occasional moire. No OLP filter makes me think of grabbing a used S1H. Also really inexpensive now. Overall though, the s5 is an incredible creative tool, for sure.

Try a vintage lens! I’ve never had a clip with moire except with the kit lens, good ideas though

@@AveryCaudill I actually only use vintage lenses. And anamorphic. The moire came using a Minolta Rokkor lens.

@@AveryCaudill honestly, I think it’s rare, because I just shot a full length feature film, using only the S5 for two years, and did not see it show up even once, so I think I’m a pretty good example of how rare it actually is, but I did see it making a KZfaq video, and just because of the way I am, I’m so meticulous with my work, I just can’t I’m-know it. I can’t un-see it. :-) I think I’m gonna get a used S1h and make that my A camera so I don’t even have to think about it. First world problems. Lol
