Nice video. S5IIX is my main camera. Here are a few things on my wishlist: - Fix the HDMI lag, especially without having to disable audio via HDMI - An updated XLR adapter with: more robust parts (especially the hotshoe foot), more granular gain and low/high pass settings, ability to have a safety track when only using 1 mic - 2 USB-C ports so we can connect both an external SSD and power delivery

Would love to have a movable external viewfinder, and the Focus Box peaking from the EVA1.

Absolutely love my EVA 1. Need an update to this form factor.

I have an S5 and i plan to use it to make some films. I can't wait for the new S1H! I agree with everything you said!

AA filter is a must on top of everything mentioned for the next gen. As an S1H user in a hybrid capacity, its never compromised the stills, in fact I typically prefer them to the s5 and s5ii that I also use.

1 - Allow complete disabling of internal processing (noise reduction and sharpness) with internal codecs (0 isn’t truly 0 in the S5 & S5II/X). It’s a stupid limitation, forcing the camera to use processing power that we don’t even want.. 🤦🏻‍♂️ 2 - OLPF in all video centric models. We don’t care about ridiculously sharp images, especially when moiré creeps in and ruin everything! 3 - Add a Shutter Angle ONLY lock option in the Operation Lock menu. I literaly have to put a piece of black gaffer tape on the dial to prevent accident that would ruin the footage.. 4 - Truly fix the HDMI lag 5 - Stop downconverting 33x LUTs into shitty 17x for monitoring V-Log. When using RealTimeLUT, the monitoring is in full 33x, so it makes no sense that the camera wouldn’t be able to do it when shooting in V-Log.. it’s full of banding artifacts/macro-blocking, especially in underexposed areas. In 2024, that’s innacceptable. 6 - Reduce Rolling Shutter below 16 ms 🙏🏻 7 - Redesign connectivity so the HDMI cable will allow us to tilt the screen. PDAF is excellent and very useful, but since we can’t control it from an external monitor, it sucks that we can’t fully articulate the screen. Also, the S1H screen design would be better. 8 - There’s a weird glitch on my S5IIX : When I fire up the camera (or swap batteries), my custom presets (V-Log + monitoring LUT) load with a 2nd instance of the LUT baked into the footage. If I start recording, it’s like i’m using RealTimeLUT (one instance of the LUT will be baked into the file). It’s like i’m both using V-Log + LUT monitoring & RealTimeLUT at the same time.. which is not even possible. The only way to make this go away is to either rotate the right dial a few notches and come back on my custom preset (then, the 2nd LUT disappear and everything is back to normal). Freaking annoying!

A EVA-2 would be awesome, i would love to see it as well !

Greats takes and I agree with all the points. I don't think we will get an EVA 2 from what I hear BUT now Panasonic are officially merging the professional and consumer divisions I expect some great developments.

Personally one thing that always has been bizarre to me is the fact that you can only display info on the camera screen, or the monitor screen and never both. This was possible all the way up until the GH6 which suddenly took away the ability to mirror the UI along with a few other weird steps backwards like long startup times, long delay in record starting, and a still occasional HDMI low frame rate judder at times. I agree about a large Cine camera too. The Varicam was killing it for a time and is all but dead at this point. Although I recall the broadcast and prosumer Lumix line getting combined recently if I’m remembering right…could mean some new pro gear.

completly agree, can you do Blackmagic next?

Panasonic already has the Varicam, which was a viable RAW shooting rival to Alexa and RED, and the first camera to have dual iso.

I think for the price what the S5ll und the x offers it is actually the best what you can get. If they will bring the S1Hll with internal electronic nd and maybe a global shutter ..or reduce the readout to 5-7ms it will be the new king of indie camera. I guess in the next months the real Gh5 successor will be nominated!!!

It is called upselling. - Definition: Upselling is the practice of encouraging customers to purchase a comparable higher-end product than the one in question. KZfaqrs making complaining videos about "issues" only helps those brands in selling. Free commercial for the brand. yeah. ;)
