S5 benefits that grabbed me, especially for video: > Better grip > Has dual card slots > Dual ISO > 4K/60p video > 1.79x better color depth with a better overall color science > 918.4k dots higher resolution (screen) > H.264/MOV 4:2:2 10-Bit video internal! > Anamorphic shooting modes > Slow motion 180fps at 1080p > RAW Video Output

Panasony A7S5

Forgot one thing about the S5 - its dual native ISO. That's *the* reason why I'm saving for it to use it as a secondary camera to my MFT gear. Also, as a photographer, I do appreciate sensor shift high res photos.

1) Love this isn't sponsored 2) love the objectivity-- 5 pros & cons from each 3) it's efficient

just got the a7c a week ago was close between a7c a s5 . awesome video brother 👍

Very informative video. Thank you!

Awesome to see an Aussie in here, been filming my skate vids with Sony 6400 and the 18 to 105 f4😀😎

Excellent review. Kudos to your models, human and canine.

This is a really great comparison. I love how you compared them with their best features, which is better for unbiased reviews. I also appreciate the review in the field, rather than in a studio. Thank you for this! 🙂

Thanks for the video. It is exactly what I was looking for, since I'm trying to decide whether to buy the Panasonic S5 or the Sony A7c. I like the styling of the A7c better, although that might have something to do with the fact that I owned a Sony a6000 a number of years ago, and it has the same basic form-factor and rangefinder-style ergonomics. I also think the overall image that the Sony produces is nicer - for lack of a better way to describe things, the Sony seems to produce a creamier, richer and smoother image. On the other hand, I don't like the fact that when you plug in an external HDMI monitor on the Sony, you lose access to the camera's display LCD and whatever touch functions it has, including setting focus point. Based on your information, here is how I now think of the two cameras: If you do mostly photography, vlogging or occasional videography where you don't need minute control of all the camera's functions while shooting, then the Sony is your camera. If you do mostly videography and need good control of the camera's operating parameters and good stills photography capabilities are also important to you, then the S5 is your camera. There are three things you didn't touch upon that might be important. First, the S5 offers a 96MP high-res JPEG capture option. Second, in some markets, the S5 with kit lens sells for less than the Sony (In Canada, the S5 is $200 cheaper). Lastly, while the range of native L-mount lenses is limited, you can buy an adapter and use whatever third-party lenses fit the adapter.

Great comparison, thanks mate!

Bravo,ottimo video,mi hai chiarito tanti dubbi 👍

excellent pro review. Now for wedding work, considering other people are filming the material: Comparing general Sonys, 6300, 73, the lot, versus a Panasonic G9, the HD on the G9 just eats up the Sonys. And the post processing is much more forgiving. Hands down whatever the Panasonics simply thrash the competition. Image quality is king, and skin tone always better.

Great video. Definitely high quality editing and the content was well presented. Interested in S5.

Thanks bro very insightful. You helped my decision. Just bought the s5. Do know anything about filmmaking only that I want to direct a short film. Any thoughts on the lens sizes I should use to film in one room? Thanks in advance

very fair video. nice one.

Great video think I'm going s5 as I want the 4k 50/60 miss it for b roll from my Lumix g9 since I switched to sony. Crazy black Friday deals at the moment £1499 for camera, 20-60, official pany battery, grip + moza aircross 2 pro and back pack. Time to say by to my a6400 🤣🤣

I have the S5 and I Love it. If it had great autofocus and no crop in 4k 60, it would be the perfect camera for me. Can't find a better camera under $3000 than this and it only costs $1700 now. The only camera brand that supports two types of RAW, 5.9k BlackMagic and Pro Res.

Hey mate, nice to see a balanced, non-biased for vid. How about a a7iv vs Panasonic s5 video if you get the chance. Thanks

*Do you know if the FREE Davinci and Final Cut Pro can do 10 bit 4:2:2?* I’m deciding between the Sony A7IV, Sony A7C and LUMIX for my first camera. Likely a 24mm GM lens. Can you use LUMIX as video/audio for zoom calls?

Thank you, very useful comparision. I am a Pany boy (M43) but I really like that A7C. The small size is the main reason and FF the other. I will get one next year and use it for low light shooting.

One killer feature on the S5 that doesn't seem to get mentioned a lot is the Dual ISO. I can shoot at up to 6400 ISO in very low light and still get very clean footage. Also the headphone jack is Soooooo worth it. I've been using the Sony cameras for the last two years and when my S5 arrived it's been so nice to have a headphone jack. AF as Shane says is pretty good. Very usable. Colours are amazing on the S5 and V-Log is the full version not V-Log-Light giving 13-14 stops of dynamic range. Also when I use an external monitor I can output the 'on-screen-display' to the external monitor. I love being able to do that as with the Sony I was never sure I was actually recording and missed many a take because of it. With the Panasonic I can have the on screen display on my external monitor and have the border turn red when I'm recording, very helpful and reassuring.

Hi mate, awesome video as always. Btw 9:48 - as far as I know - A7C has a headphone jack too. If you would compare rolling shutter between those two - is there a huge difference? Cheers.

Just found your tech channel. Very impressive, intuitive and detailed to perfection. More than just musically talented, obviously more talents than imagined. Always impressed by the quality of the content 👏 again no disappointments .

Wish it had the Sony autofocus, but dual native ISO, high res mode and a vastly lower price sold me on the S5. Been eyeing both for a while, and just got an S5 with the 50mm for about $300 less than the lowest listed price for the A7C body only.

when you did the dual screen of yourself with both cameras I actually preferred the A7C. Im edging that way because my social media work is fast turnaround - its the content the customers need - I don't think they'd notice a post grade. Plus the gyro stab Ive used in a ZV1 and its so good. PS - Im a Nikon shooter at the moment.

Is the micro hdmi not down to the amount of real estate in these fun-sized cams?

I like your glasses!! Can you send me the link? please

I am a wedding videographer and using g9s for the last 3 years. A few weeks ago I swtiched to two S5s. In a few months I will replace my other 2 g9s with S5

Which Canon camera lands in the same price range of Panasonic S5?

S5+sigma50mmdgdn or a7c+50mmgm1.4 ? Travel and family photography. The image from s5 its amazing

Dzięki. Pomogłeś mi. Wybieram S5. ;-)

I am trying to decide between A7C with the Sony 24-105 and the S5 with the Lumix 24-105, for landscape and portrait photography, with sharpness and auto-focus accuracy (not speed) being the main criteria. Is the Sony 24-105 sharper than the Lumix 24-105, as the dxomark scores suggest ?

I need help on deciding, is the S5 not having a low pass filter a problem for TVC production camera?

You mention the amount of lenses as a plus for the Sony in comparison to Panasonic. But you forget to mention that yes Sony has more options, but there's quite a bunch of other brands that produce L-mount lenses as well. There may not be as many for the L-mount, but all types of the most used sizes are represented now.

about gyroscope: if you use catalyst browse, afaik, shutterspeed has to be at least 200-250, so you cant do cinematic 50 on 25fps. so its kinda useless, dont make the choice based on it if you want close to 50 shutterspeed. thats with catalyst. there is another software you can process the gyro with, called gyroflow, and im not sure if it too has this limitation or not..

2hours of battery life, vectorscope, waveforms, internal lut preview, 10bit 422 internal ..Panasonic iBis..insane color science... you can recover up to 4 stops in raw photos..this camera is litterally upgradeable with xlr module, bat grip for 4hours of non stop use and an ext raw recorder to get 6k raw video. Only downside is af in video nt photo...not to say a7c feels like a toy with it's near to zero grib..put a sony gm 24-70 and after 30mins of use, say hi to pain for me..and s5 is only 1600$ we live in insane times lol

Fantastic comparison. I would also consider the level of support (i.e. firmware updates) though this is about the companies rather than the cameras themselves. I think Panasonic tends to be more "generous" in this regard.

I could film the two cameras side by side for us have an idea of the size.

Hi, it all sounds great, but, I don't shoot video! so in your opinion what camera is the best for still photography? Thanks again mate!

Could you do one on the S5 vs the A7IV? They seem a lot more matched this time around so it’d be very interesting

Thanks for the video, Shane. As an S5 user, I always get envious of the AF-C and lens selection on Sony cameras (heck, I even still own an a6500 and an a6000 when I need AF). Does the a7C allow one to use AF-S in video? Or is it only AF-C / manual focus when shooting video?

The big question is: Why hasn't Shane got all the specs and release date on the GH6 yet? :P Your videos always look great man, regardless of the gear. Maybe it has something to do with the operator?

Panasonic if you're a filmmaker 100% For me as a solo shooter I need good autofocus though, here's to spending a few extra grand on a7siii for AF xD

If L-Mount lens isnt not hella expensive, maybe i'll buy S5. But, its not the case. A7C lens selection both native and third party is really great, they have selection from cheap-expensive, but even the cheap one is great. S5 body is maybe cheap for what its offer, but combine it with the lens? I dont think many who want to upgrade can afford it even for its f1.8 lens :(

Fantastic video - why you gotta convince me to buy the S5?? Don’t you know I have a spending problem 🤣🤣

I can't believe I have finally found a video that covers almost everything that I need it to know between these 2 cameras and still I can't decide, damn it. If anyone could help me.. Basically the only thing that wasn't mentioned here is the video quality in low light. As of right now I have the option to buy either of these cameras as openbox in excellent condition, both with their kit lenses 28-60mm. Sony A7c is going for $1750 and the Panasonic S5 is going for $1800, however if I buy the S5 as New there is a promo that also gives me an extra lens, the Panasonic S85, however as new the Panasonic S5 is going for $2200, I just don't know if that S85mm lens is worth it,getting this camera new for $2200 plus that lens seems a really good deal, but so it is getting either of these cameras as openbox in exellent condition for almost the same price, I think anyways. Please help hereeeeee lol

I always love Lumix

Im a panasonic S1 owner so no bias in this question but isn’t the Sony A7III more comparable?

which camera were you using to shoot this video?

Thank you. Panasonic it is.

S5 ! No contest

When I think of Panasonic, I just can't get pass the auto focus dilemma. No go! Save some more money and just get the a7IV.

I hope this video is helpful if you are deciding between these two cameras!

I'm glad you mentioned lens selection, it's kind of crucial if you're going for AF. Also, if you plan to do photography as well, Sony is the clear winner...

性价比最高的全画幅相机

Lens of lumix is more expensive than sony

Is that woman in the video that chick from MAFS?... I can’t think what’s her name is atm... btw I just purchased the A7C last night in the Black Friday Sales from JB... the website says I should receive the camera in January... gawd I hope not.

Yes, Sony is the one!

The choice is easy, Lumix S5 all day long. Had both, only have the S5 now. Sony feels like a cheap Chinese knock off, build quality and grip are awful, missing a front control wheel, EVF is a joke, and menus are probably the worst around, you won't enjoy it as a creative joy to use.
