LUMIX s5iix is BETTER Than the Sony FX3

In this video I give my opinions on the Sony FX3 and why I think the Lumix S5iiX is a better camera for filmmakers. I cover why I think the Sony FX3 2nd base ISO of 12800 is too high and still noisy. I feel the Lumix s5iix has a perfect 2nd base ISO of 4000 which is a sweet spot, not too high or too low. I also mention how the Lumix s5iix has gimbal-like stabilization over the Sony FX3. Better battery life and better dynamic range when recovering the highlights.
Gear I use and love. 👇🏾

Beautiful grading and camera work! I think you pointed out the biggest problem with the FX3 low light. 12800 is just a bit too high and it has way too much NR baked in on top of a 4k image making the shadows noticeably soft and smudgy. The battery life is interesting. Do you live in a colder region? Lumix cameras and batteries hold up very well in cold climates unlike other cameras. On paper, they're both actively cooled cameras with a decently sized batter, so should be pretty similar.

The fx3 battery was terrible. Just fiddling with camera settings would drain the battery. but on the LUMIX s5iix I get double the battery life

I made the jump to the S5IIX after watching this video. A camera that has almost all of the advantages of the FX3, plus a viewfinder, open gate 6K, way better battery life, internal ProRes, BRAW support, way more codecs, absolutely superior active stabilization, and USB HD recording for about HALF THE COST is pretty tough to ignore. It gives up the usable 4K 120, and uncropped 4K60, but that is about it.

I've used Canon, Nikon, and Lumix for over a decade for military work (personal & work gear). When I got out and worked my first civilian job, my company gave me a decent budget to order whatever camera gear I wanted. I ordered the fx3 and a bunch of Sony lenses, cuz youtubers do make it seem like a god-tier camera. Boy was I disappointed😅. My number one complaint is that menu system is horrendous. The footage that comes out of the fx3 is good, but not "blow other cameras out of the water great." So many cameras shoot quality imagery nowadays. You really can't go wrong. The AF is great, but I'm coming from being taught to manually focus everything you know.

For me the S52 is the best because I move when I am shooting and I am almost 60 and need the Ibis, especially after the 3.0 update. The Ibis is magical. The AF is great as well. They just put the Blackmagic Full frame 6K on sale for $1600 and I am skipping it because I need Ibis but if you don't stop reading this and get that Camera. I love V-log and it has great dynamic range but I admit that is subjective. The S52 weakness is with slow motion. Over 30fps you are in APSC mode for 4K and even 1080p falls back to contrast focus at 60fps full frame. The bottom line for 30fps and under at 1080, 4k, and even 6K open gate the S52 an s52x are GREAT,. For full-frame slow motion look elsewhere,

Depends on what you do. It’s a great camera but it’s readout speed is way to slow for my work. So my best pick is the Fuji’s XH2s, having some of the fastest readout speeds in the market, + its 14bit readout. All great cameras though. Throughout recent years, I don’t think there is any camera out there that is flat out smoking another camera. It really comes down to the operator, how they expose the sensor, and how they process the footage in post.

agree on all points, if anything I would love for them to make an APSC camera so that we can get the APSC cine lenses from Laowa, Sirui etc, yes you can mount them onto the S5II and shoot in APSC mode but I think it would make it more practical for regular buyers who just want a small simple setup that looks amazing yet doesn't cost what the FX30 does.

Both cameras are cool. Native ISO 12800 on FX-3 save my a$$ so many times, and you do not need powerful light sources. FX-3 better to use with Atomos - it will be best option. But S5IIX give the best solution for the price/performance + anamorphic & open gate mode. Colors is perfect on both cameras, but color grading on Panasonic is little bit faster an easier. FX-3 has top AF and Low Light performance and small rollig shutter, S5IIX - top in body stabilization.

The lens is what gives you character, whether it be sharp and clinical or dreamy and vintage. All Sony has to do is do quick firmware update if they really wanted, to compete with Lumix and they would be superior, which is mind boggling that they don't! I think they will...one day.... and I will be happy I remained in the Sony ecosystem. I left GH5 to go to Sony years ago.

Uh oh the Sony fans are coming for you! Lol great video. Hey , the best camera for you is the one you gets you the image you want . I think my xh2s is better than the a7 iv . People come at me like how can you compare full frame to apsc and it's just that 2 cameras being compared. the a7 iv is a great camera but, i too got sold the sony full frame is better . So , now I'm selling my a7 IV. I love the features, the settings , the image quality of my Fujis . AF isn't everything. For me that's all Sony has . Also the AF in my xh2s and xs20 is manageable .

meh not really. Im a sony fan boy, i know they have their limitations and things that arent as good as others. But really Im bought into the market support for sony, its so nice to have mainstream accessories and third party lenses etc.

@@nomadikmind3979 to me that's like iphone users. They know the phones have limitations but they deal with them because third party support for apps and accessories far outweigh the support for Android devices. Trust me I can understand why someone may buy a Sony camera. I'm actually on my second Sony camera but like the first I'm going to sell it. Simply because it's not the tool for me. They are excellent but, the weaknesses in them for me just make them not worth it. I have 2 excellent cameras from Fuji film I just need to not chase the hype. Although I didn't get the a7 IV for the hype. I did get it because I enjoyed the images my brother got from it. I just love the images I get from my Fujis more. Especially in videos.

🤣 na Sony fx3 users will most likely grind their teeth and look for a video to justify their purchase. But I agree, I liked the XH2s over the a7iv as well! Was a fun and inspirational camera. The s5iix and XH2s are still 2 of my faves

Yes! As Sony a7iv owner and Xs20 i would say the same! Image coming from this small Fuji camera is fantastic, yes, ibis and af are bad. But that’s why i bought s5ii and thinking to sell Sony

To be honest i have been using gh5 for a while and got an a7s3 recently. Somehow, i still feel gh5 colors and image quality to be relevant and sometimes even better exposed than the sony's.

I know how you feel, which is how I felt and I haven’t thought of Sony since. I just wish we had more lens options like Tamron and Viltrox etc

I got rid of my A7siii and ended up with the S5 ii and I can't go back to Sony

If you don’t care about the AF then S1H is better with more options, Olpf etc 👊

Strange with battery, I get around 2 hours with my a7siii, i rarely use more than 1 battery on a shoot

Yeah it was disappointing. I wanted it for so long. And I wanted to love it.

Problem with the FX3 is that you can’t turn NR off to see what the second iso is really like.

If they make it 12mp or a faster roller shutter it will compete with the fx3

I think the problem was that you didnt use the Phantom Luts, without those, The sony image is very underwhelming, I would have returned mine without those luts
@lexgraham 3 ай бұрын
That’s the thing. I did. And I hated how my footage looked like everyone else’s. Cause everyone wants to use the same combo. The image was great but it was uninspiring to work with. But tubers like Gawx and others love it and do amazing work.
