I can't wait to see what their follow-up to the S1H is like if this is what the S5 IIx can do.

It can also record photos on external SSD, I asked Lumix on their stream on official Lumix USA channel.

You just explained Intra and Inter in this video and I realised I didn’t know this information. Your basic explanation as to why inter slows down video editing literally turned on a 💡. Thanks, I learned something new….lol.

We’re buying the S5IIX for its video. It blows away all of the cameras you mentioned. Image quality comes first. All-I, Prores and BlackMagic raw is going to sell this camera. Not to mention Open Gate 6K. The quality is mind blowing from this camera. Those other cameras are a FAIL when compared to the video quality from the S5IIX.

Love my new S5II.

Tony the teacher is cool! Started my photograph with you and your knowledge along the way has been invaluable!

Awesome! Really appreciate giving alternatives! Really shows us your looking out for us to get the best for our needs! Thank you!

Just waiting for this video Tony.Thank you for this video.

Wow... The S1 line will be great! Maybe capable of face the big bosses (Z8, Z9, R5, R3, etc)

Life long Canon user still in limbo trying to figure out next camera because Canon closed non-3rd party lens system. If I could afford to blow a bunch of money I would, but Canon has pretty much shut many of us out. As much as I've loved Canon lenses and ergonomics over the years, I can't in good conscience buy another Canon product.

Showing the autofocus images in focus in color and out of focus in B&W was brilliant!

great review Tony !!!

When will you review the Nikon Z 30?

Finally this video is talking about all the other good cameras in that range and category I did so much research literally every video just sings songs of praise of whatever they are promoting Subscribed!

The Lumix cameras will actually do 30fps burst photos with full continuous af. Is the e shutter though.

Great information. I have a Question 😅 I have the Atomos Ninja V & the S5 ii… if I buy this upgrade key… once installed and going to the Ninja. In honest comparison what will I be missing in line with the S5ii x ? Thank for your response because Some reviews are making this even more unclear.

So I wouldn't need a video capture card to record to OBS Studio on my PC with the S5IIx? I could use wifi/USB/ethernet - depending on the quality I want? (Or maybe the bitrate is low via those connections?) Thanks Tony.

As a panasonic lover, I enjoy when Tony uses one.

Live show, once a month would be ace, bring it back 😍

While you can't get ProRes recorded *in camera* on the canon R5/R6, or external SSD recording, by using the atomos NinjaV you can get ProRes recording on an external SSD. (That being said, I own a lumix S1, S1H, and a canon R5c, and have a S5iix preordered).

Hi Tony love quality video which camera was recording u pls let me know very cool

What I would like to know is how to the stills/video (DSLR style) cameras compare to real video cameras when it comes to making video. Nobody seem to directly compare these two styles and I would really like to know how the new stills/video cameras are coming along because at one time they simply could not match dedicated video cameras.

How do you like Panasonic glass and AF? Are they on par with Sony/Canon?

are there any camcorders that can do stills to rival this?...if you like this camera , but also want wildlife or sports type shots, what would you recommend?

which sense do you recommend for shooting 16:9 but also want to crop in to 9:16. Some lenses are wide but too wide. Is there a lens you recommend that is good for both aspect ratios?

Hey Tony, just out of curiosity, why didnt you compare this to the Fujifilm X-H2 or X-H2s? Is it just because of the sensor size? Because to a newbie like me they look pretty similar on paper, the X-H2s also has 6.2k open gate recording with Apple ProRes HQ, full size HDMI etc. all for the pretty much same price, did I miss something? :)

What a breath of fresh air.... NO Z8 nonsense here!! Nothing new there.. just a Z9 inna smaller and less expensive box. Thanks you two.

Hi Tony. What camera did you shot the video with please can you let me know. Thank you. Love your videos keep up the excellent work ❤

Thank you for the explainer on “all- intra“. I’ve heard Gerald Undone be very excited about it with no idea what he meant…

It almost sounds like all the "X" upgrades could be offered as a paid firmware update(s) to the S5 II, do you agree?

I can‘t wait for you to test the Sony Xperia 1 V, any hints when we can expect it ?

No Z8...WTH??!!

Hey Tony; did you see? Nikon released a new camera. 😆

Why not the R6 MK II?

I bought Used stuff from Adorama before and had to send the latest device back due to missing parts with the package. It was a hassle for sure. I have purchased other devices through Adorama before and it was 50/50 on the gear. All those devices are good products, but I am moving away from Nikon and Canon and going with Lumix.

Can lumix please make a full frame landscape photography friendly camera that is like a compact rangefinder? I already have the sigma fp but I miss the lumix ui and I loathe the fact that mirrorless cameras are ridiculously bulky these days and the ideal camera for me being a Leica m11 is something I just can’t afford

Does S5IIX offer any advantage over S5II for still photography?

Is this L mount so that you can use your Leica glass? (those lenses for the SL2 and SL2-S)

7:40 Tony RAW recording doest give you any more dynamic range. Why You say that?

seem like Tony hasn't had the Z8 :)))

Off topic, but do you think the Canon R5c is worth it? I never really hear much about it. Also, are the files difficult to edit for someone who doesn't have a super expensive computer? I love your content. God bless.

Very good knowledge, which was very helpful for me for my channel. I have a better idea what I want to buy.

autofocus will be better on lumix with coming software updates

Why didn't review the Tamron and Samyang 35-150? It's weird not doing a video knowing that they sell like a hot cake

Subscribed as soon as I heard that you don't accept sponsorship from the companies you receive products from. As someone who worked at a Fortune 50 financial institution, I led a team who paid influencers to help with our brand. People need to realize how strong that financial incentive is-- it's real.

adorama not in canada >.>

Motion JPEG is alive!!!

What's happened, Tony? I guess you are the only one who did not review or touch Z8.. What is your honest opinion? I am sure you will do a full review soon.. Thanks always..

If SDcards are economical SSD’s are a gift from heaven. SSD’s are about 4-10x cheaper per Gb, at least 2x faster than the fastest ProGrade SDcards AND you can edit directly off them.

You are probably not aware of the PD auto focus of the Two new Panasonics. The focus is just as good and just as fast as the Canons

Will Netflix approve it?

Why do you crop your head on the shots? Looks a bit claustrophobic.

Just to make sure, in case I missed it, is this video sponsored by Adorama by any chance?

Best Channel on KZfaq of its kind hands down. Actually, the first and second best... the other channels can fight for third place. Thanks for everything you two do.

First. Great Camera

Correction.There is no penta prism in a mirror less camera

Sony a7iv also have a full size HDMI port. Canon don't have that even in R5.

Hahahaha in the early begining he start bashing on the micro hdmi port on the canon without even discussing other aspect that is more crucial to video first 😂

I need color , at least i would take a white sharpie to paint in LUMIX 😅

You only do Canon review. When you reviewed the Sony a7rV you found a way to say Canon R5

Give me 1 wedding speech shorter than 30 minutes along with the promises in the full sun! So with the 2 Canon devices you're stuck with an egg in your pants, will it overheat or not! Then give me the Panasonic cameras with less fast and accurate autofocus, but with images that you can show the family afterwards. I'd rather practice manual focus pulling than take these risks!

Not sure why you didn't mention the sony options. There are many great hybrid and more video focused sony cameras rn.

I was interested in regular s5ii but I have heard phase detect AF does not work in all modes like 1080p. No wireless remote control as well. If like me you are solo content creator having camera away, you need to use mobile to start recording which is not ideal. I am used to my canon with small and handy remote. Even Sony has small remote control! Looks like Lumix is made for film makers who are behind the camera not content creators who are in front of the camera 📸. GH6 has livestream but you need to pay £200 more for s5iix to get it? No thanks.

👍👍

I sold the S5II because of the image quality with regular profiles in video. They use details filtering like on Sony cameras, very fine details look mushy. In 6K these profiles are also have too much sharpness. Yes V-Log is better with good details but there is a lot of noise in low light. I don't understand why Panasonic changed the image quality with the regular profiles, the S1 was just perfect.

Because panasonic doesnt promote much of their cinema line haha so all they do is changing the strategies to hybrid camera

#1. I DESPISE everything Apple. Everything. Refuse to use their hardware or software anything. #2. I shoot my videos in 1080p60 on my Sony A7IV. #3. I'm a "hybrid" shooter, but care more about photos with 95% of my work being photocentric. I guess if I edited a bunch of video files this would be something worthwhile, but for me it's a non point.

The R6 II can just hook up and use it as a webcam/streaming device! It's awesome! Plus it is much faster for photos, and has full frame oversampled 4K 60 whilst the S5 IIs are cropped! Plus the S5 II HD high speed modes are crippled in AF (limited in 120 and none in 180). The R6 II also has much faster sensor speed, and slightly better dynamic range and ISO noise than the S5 II (check James Readers excellent comparison). In real world the difference between All I and IPB now is insignificant. The IQ is the same and the difference in processing is no different. Either your computer can handle the files, or they cannot (all new Macs can easily handle both). This was more of a problem years ago but now even the IPB Light codecs on the Canons are really high bitrate (that's all I shoot). The S5 IIs are great, but overrated by most KZfaqrs who got them for free. Basically if the R6 II came out with all the specs of the S5II, people would have been po'd because it would have been a step backwards in most respects from the R6.

Seems like Panasonic ran out of white paint 😅.

Pana Software is a pita! I own a GH6 and even as we have 2023 sharing video or even fotos vie wifi does not work. To my PC and my MAC neither. Also BT is a pita. In both cases I was able to bring my GH6 into a freeze. I set up at least 200 different smartphones to headset and other things, IR modem to PC in the good old UMTS (!) times etc. But this 2000€ device does not work. So I gave up. Because IF BT is running, it is possible it freezes wich is unaceptable when I use the GH6 in Teams. BTP: My PEN F works great via WiFi, my old A6000 also great and fast to share via Smartphone. I NEVER shared ONE foto via Smartphone in 8 months owing it.

😆Interesting: The NIKON Z8 (its AF) must be so sh*tty, that they didn't dare sending you a testing sample for a review video. Because you would have revealed everything about it, and they know that 😉

You repeat so many times that your are unbiased and not paid by any manufacturers and then you compare a brand new S5IIx with the toy-ish R8 and a 2 year old R6 and claim they are better, that we cannot believe that you are not paid by Canon. :D Canon R6 overheats in 30 mins, R8 in 15 minutes and you say they are better than the S5II or S5IIx which do not overheat at ALL. Tell it to anyone shooting a professional video that a camera is better which overheats in 15 mins, they will laugh at you.

No third party lens support, and Canon’s obstinate refusal to remove the 30 minute record limit ought to outright disqualify it from any sort of “professional” video use. - A disgruntled r6 owner

Me first !

I just skipped whole 5 minutes of your video, guess which?
