Love your comparison videos and your editing man. Been here since 100 Subs and I'm so happy to see you about to break 5K.

Great video and comparison Anthony, good work.

Plot twist: Samyang just announced the 35-150mm 2-2.8 for L-mount. Which is basically the same lens as the Tamron.

Another banger bro! Never considered the ZV-E1 for professional work like that

I bought the Sony ZV-E1 for AF, 4K120. I kept my S1H for image quality, VLOG, open gate, anamorphic, and unlimited recording. They are perfect complements.

Good video 👏 I love the small ZVE1 although I have the bigger FX6 🎥 but don’t forget, the most important thing is the man behind the cam 😉 best cinematic greetings from germany

MAN YOU`RE THE BEST! Can you share some footage from each camera to try to colorgrade? Just your room and you in the frame - to look how skintone goes from each camera. I'd be very grateful!

100% agree. The AF is just not comparable between these two models. So much I love about the S5II, and so much I love about the ZV-E1. Also agree the Tamron lenses are amazing. Great comparison, great work Anthony.

Excellent comparison! One important factor you didn't mention is the price of buying used (which widens the price gap even further). Right now, you can get the Lumix S5II from MPB for roughly $1,500, while the ZV-E1 can be had for about $1,900 used. That $400 difference can easily be put towards a lens or lighting.

Awesome review! Does your ZVE1 have a loose micro hdmi port? I’m not sure if this is normal because on some of Sony’s camera they have Floating structure hdmi port design to relieve stress/froce. My ZVE1 has a pretty loose port moving back/forth. Just wanted to ask if other owers have similar port.

I just did the same thing over the last 2 weeks. I bought the Lumix S5IIX and then grabbed a ZV-E1 yesterday to compare them.

Great video. I stumbled on your channel while investigating the zv-e1. I am also enjoying your other videos! I was a Sony shooter many years ago and loved the systems. Of late, however, I have been shooting Lumix. Recently, I just sold my s5iix but kept my S1h. The s1h despite the focus issues (which I really don’t think is that bad depending on use case) is an incredibly robust camera and I find proves a sense of confidence. I found the S5iix ergonomically to either not be big enough or small enough - so I had to let it go. (Great, great camera, though). To this end, I am now considering the zv-e1 as a compact everyday camera. The new S9 looked promising until I saw the body, which I kind of looks cheap to me. So have decided to give Sony a try again. You mentioned using a LUT to create a constant look between Lumix and Sony. I am just wondering how easy and effective this is? Was always taught to shoot with the same camera brand - but maybe times are changing - your results seem o counter this argument. This may be a good topic for an upcoming video (how on can create constancy across different Brands/platforms) - if you have yet done so. I like your philosophy of using different camera brands in order to benefit from different types of functionalities. That makes sense! Thanks again for a great video!

I absolutely love the plant life in your home. How do you manage that with toddlers in the home? Mine just wanna play in the dirt - so had to get rid of em :(

Thanks for the video, Anthony. As a Panasonic user, I do look with envy at some / many of Sony's offerings. I do admit that potential overheating is a MAJOR concern of rme. (I know that you didn't experience any overheating, but all of my three Sony aps-c bodies overheat like crazy, and too many other report of people using ZV-E1's and even a7 IV overheating, too). Not sure if you have any Canon EF lenses (and an MC-11 adapter), but if you do, would love to know how EF glass pervorms on the ZV-E1 in video autofocus.

Great Video! I'm currently using the GH5 and looking to upgrade to a new full-frame camera. I'm torn between the S5iix and the FX3. Do you think the extra cost for the FX3 is worth it? I’ve watched several footage videos from both cameras on KZfaq, especially in the music video genre, and I find Sony’s look much more modern and cinematic.

One correction. I have both devices and the Portkeys LH5P II monitor. With the ZV-E1, I couldn't connect it (neither with a cable nor wirelessly), while with the S5IIX it works great with touch focus.

Pretty cool. Awesome video. I'm still hunting for an inexpensive s1h. I'm moire-traumatized. ;) Do both of these cameras, meaning the Sony and the s5ii shoot straight 24fps and not just 23.976? I'm having issues with a DCP on a feature i just finished because I shot it on my S5. Annoying. Anyway, awesome work as always.

Just curious have you tried z8? Yes it’s more expensive but a great all around cam.

Hey Which settings are not working for you with AFC of the S5ii?Area+ human,face detection?In HD phase detect don't work at all and the AFC is pure trash. But in open gate or 4K it works fine and is also depending how old are your lens and did you make an update on the lens as well But for slow mo and extrem low light sure sony is better...

Does s5ii ( and s5iix) have problems with jack audio when using an external microphone ?

The ZV-E1 for me since Sony has the vast array of lens & support.

I'm not sure, but in S5IIX, in AF tracking mode, by clicking on the object, there is a point that keeps the focus on the object. Maybe this isn't available in the S5II, but I doubt it.

Great Video Bro. I have a feeling LUMIX will catch Sony in AF. LUMIX has crashed out this much AF fixes in a year or so….Set aside all the other feature advantages in the S5 II - I would rather be LUMIX having to focused on AF Fixes than Sony missing all those other things.

I have the sonyzve1 looking for a second camera. Mainly a content creator shooting talking heads and lifestyle footage. Is the 5ii worth it to add on. Or should I add another Sony camera to not worry about buying more lenses

I would love to see your take on the Sony A7CII compared to these cameras. If I had the funds I would definitely go for the A7CII (or the S5IIx) as I already have the original S5.

I have the opportunity to buy a second hand S5ii or S1H at the same price (1700usd). Which one should I go with? I already have A7IV and ZV E1, but I've got the Remus set coming and want to shoot open gate. Great video btw! Thanks in advance

Hey, man, that was a nice comparison, actually, I was looking to buy another camera to pare with my s5iix and I was looking for something with more slow-motion options so I looked at the g9ii that has the new lumix AF and also 120fps in 4k but I never consider a sony camera like the zve1 and actually it makes a lot of sense, good AF, image quality I also have phantom luts and the zve1 is actually just a bit expensive than the g9ii

for the price of the ZV-E1 you can get a s5iix and a lens

Cheers so much for all your hard work and this is why camera companies are great at making a whole lot of money, it’s called the up and coming iteration 😂😊❤

af lumix s5II is pretty good and i own 2X fx3 - when i got the camera i hated the af, i didnt know that there is no PDAF at 1080P FF 50P and i use that a lot - after i understand this problame and when the PDAF dosent work its not so bad

What SD Cards do you recommend for the lumix s5ii/iix

ZV E1 with a crop of 1.3x at max stabilization is actually suitable for using affordable apsc lenses (for video). The problems (for some) are overheating, no evf, the image quality...

What's the story behind the "Oh Canon" in 6:55? 😂

I am a little confused on the autofocus issue, you can very well tap to focus on the S5II/X, you can even choose for it to track or not. Also I have been using it for weddings and in very crowded place and 99% of the time it focused where I wanted it too. For sure the Sony autofocus is better since they perfected it for years, but I'd say not by a large margin. After taking time (not even that long of a time) to know how the autofocus on my S5IIX behave I never had any issue. Edit : The issue I have with the lumix is when something goes in front of the subject then it switches focus. So I mapped a button to lock focus whenever I see someone or something that is about to go in front of my subject.

Very easy choice for me . 6k and open gate! Sony does not have it. Doing 16.9 only and 4kis outdated in 2024

FX3 is the GOAT imo! 🥰

Just want to give u 1 advice. The image stabilization on every sonys camera works much better with native lenses, even without ois. Make test and you will shock!

@10:24 Why did the Lumix die? Battery?

Zve1 is a monster. S5ii with all intra would be the tits. I honesty can’t believe they held that back. I know the x has it it they can keep pro res on the x model only. Even Fuji xt3 has all intra

Coming from the s5 mark 1 I have been planning to jump to sony. Bad AF is more frustrating than people realize when you are solo and in front the camera. Ruins whole clips.

I sold my a7s3 and got the Lumix s5 ii with some lenses. The Lumix auto focus is god awful. The Influencers out there saying otherwise just do it for the clicks. The battery life on the Sony destroys the Lumix as well. With that said the Lumix is superior in every other way. I kept all my g master lenses, voigtlander and sigma and trusty OG A7r3 for photos.

Nice bro I picked up the zve1 I thought about the open gate but o think about the hassle with more storage

Sony menu better???😅

Anthony 😂 that was a cheap shot at the S5 II, like you fully charged the battery 🪫 and it died 😂

You are so many bad times, why not compare the autofocus of this Sony vs Panasonic g9 mkii?

lumix image game is strong

Sony👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I returned my ZV-E1 because overheating issues after 5min in a 23° room. For me the ZVE1 is disgusting crap.☹

With new firmware lumix is as good as sony in autofocus department......😂😂😂

I have the s5ii. I prefer it over the ZV-E1 since it has that fan. That sony camera overheats. Terrible heat management on that.
