I've seen almost everything on YT regarding the choice of equipment, and this review is truly the most honest and without any visible sponsorship 😅 great job 😍

Something that not a lot of people know about (understandably) is that Panasonic is quietly developing an in house sensor which I think it huge with how their bodies could be looking after the S5iiX, I don’t think we will see these in house sensors for another 5-7 years but that isn’t very long in camera time. I’m glad I bought into Panasonic after years of hopping brands. It’s where I started and it’s where I’m staying.😊

Great review and production

Great work 👏🏼 I do feel the s5iix deserve to fight out against the fx3 tho since they share the same sensor type

An excellent demo !!

Great video!

Stunning video production. Don't need KZfaq go be a Cinematographer. You're Goooooood!!!

I was torn between the Fuji XH2s and the S5iix when looking for a video leaning prosumer hybrid. Ended up going with the Fuji , would of been cool to see the XH2S in this. It stacks up really well against both of these cameras

Do you shoot mostly Panasonic now?

I decided to get both b

This video needed more of you sitting there in the frame and less actual footage from the cameras.

Bro you got an IG love your videos

The new S5iiX 2.0 firmware just brought this camera to another level.

I'm a massive fan of the Panasonic Lumix releases in the past couple years. I have experience with Sony, Canon, Fuji and Nikon for both video and stills. But, none of these compare to my Panasonic BS1H, which is fully geared toward video. It's a box camera without an LED, so you'll need an external monitor. But, if you're recording 6K RAW, you're using either a Blackmagic Video Assist or a Ninja. I have both, and I switch back and forth as to which I prefer. Anyway, some of my favorite features on the BS1H... Both SDI and HDMI output simultaneously, which means I can use the Ninja and and SDI EVF simultaneously. A dedicated time code port. Ability to use 180 degree shutter - or really any shutter angle. Small form factor, but really well built. I understand that a video centric box camera with no LED is not ideal for everyone, but if you're serious about making independent movies or documentaries, it's really one of the least expensive and best choices. Having said this, I'm going to add an S5IIx as my B-Cam, or I'll use it for times when a larger built out rig is not practical. The S5IIx also gives me still capabilities in the event I need stills. I tend to agree with you that the industry seems to focus more on a balanced hybrid approach - they seem to take a stills camera and add video functionality. I feel the future is the reverse of this - more focus on video capabilities and less focus on stills.

Lens selection is one of the top 3 factors when choosing a camera system.

i much prefer the sony fx30 for what I do. I know its not full frame, but full frame isnt everything and with the right lenses and skill you wouldnt know im shooting with an apsc. I just prefer the usability of the fx30. from the grip and how it feels in the hand, to the really simple and easy to use menu system, to the 4k 120fps slow motion, the auto focus and everything mentioned in this video. I think, if I needed to take high quality photos as well as videos, then Id probably go for the panasonic, but then if I needed a high quality hybrid it would be an alternative sony camera. But for video, I love the fx series.

which to get i wanna make videos like GAWX

Should just get the S5-ii

I’d love a camera that is portable enough to stuff in a fanny pack with a compact lens for travel and nights out. I worry by he S5II is too big ?😊

Panasonic GH1 was the camera to push consumer video not 6d or d700

I feel it would be a better comparison between Sony a7iv vs lumix s5iix instead

Exactly! Overheating = Professional Work! Do U get that Sony? Again do U get that Sony? NO more overheating cameras out the door! 😎😎

Why did you the FX30 and not the FX3?!? Full frame vs full frame🤦🏿‍♂️

Seeing these videos I can't help wondering why people always forget there is something called Blackmagic pocket for half of the price of the sony.

your audio wich was at starting was irritating

Give me 12bit 444 .mov internal recording at 4K, I would be happy, I don't need RAW. Oh, and global shutter.

I have the Lumix s5ii. Image quality is insane. I do have the Lumix GH6 though and I get the same image quality on it though, since the colors that come out of that is the same. Its a micro 4/3 system though, I get a 2x crop. I just place the camera a little further back when I make my workout videos to make up for it. FX30 is APS-C crop system, its not bad, better than your iPhone you're carrying around in your pocket, still a massive sensor compared to a phone. The s5ii will crop in anything higher than 30fps though. I'll just use the same technique I use on the GH6 to get a wider perspective. For workouts, have to go wide, people can't see what I'm doing if the camera is close. Interviews and making product videos though, have the camera close, it makes sense then. Going wide won't do anything good then. Hey though, crop sensors aren't a bad thing, they have their use, its actually good if you want to get really close up shots, for photography. They all do photography as well, its a hybird system, they're just more built for videos.

Full frame sensor, 6k, 4k60p no crop, best stabilization in the industry, decent slow mo, 92mpxl stills, Prores, Braw, for $2k+free lens, come on buddy thats a no-brainer.

What a ridiculous comparison… You should’ve been comparing the Lumix with the FX3… That would’ve been much fairer… Full frame against full frame. How do you not know this?
