Thanks mate, yeah S5II for night shoots and bokeh and GH7 for the slow-mo, 32Bit float and other features. Cool combo. Hopefully some of these new GH features will transfer to their full frame range at some point. Fingers crossed!

Glad you enjoyed it. Now that the streaking is fixed and it has some really cool features it’s a really good system to get into 👊🏻🎥

Thanks for stopping by Cam! 🫡

lol

Thanks Peter!

I haven't really used AF on the S9, I was so into shooting on manual vintage glass haha, but in the limited time I used the Autofocus it was very similar to the S5II experience, which is good depending on the use case. From my experience with the S5II human & face/eye tracking works really well, it also has sensitivity and speed adjustments for finer control. The object tracking does not work well for me, it's definitely not as sticky as the Sony and does bounce around a bit so I hope Lumix can improve on that side. If you want to take a look at how autofocus works for face tracking, my 'LUMIX S 100MM Macro F2.8' video shows some pretty impressive results. Personally, on the S9 I care mostly about image quality, shutter angle, waveforms, LOG profile and how easy it is to grade. I shoot some photos for fun, so the electronic shutter doesn't bother me too much - EVF would be amazing to have, I wish they included that! And yes of course I would love it if there was no record limit, but with its small size and no fan there are some compromises. For the things that I use this camera for, its not a big deal. - what I'm trying to say here is everyone has different needs, for some, this camera might make no sense but for others, it will. I'm already invested in the L-Mount system with all the lenses and few of the bodies, so the idea of a portable L-Mount is really fantastic.

1300 subscribers, yet this video somehow reached you 👀

It almost looks like a gimbal! 😂

Stunning!

Really appreciate your comment brother, it means a lot! Usually, my videos have more talking head shots but I think it's quite important to let the images speak for themselves in this one, so the majority was shot on the S9. Pretty stoked about all the images I was able to capture with this compact setup! Any questions just DM me on Instagram 👊

All no-AI cameras are the same in this respect, irrecpectible of the sensor or the manufacturer. Phones using AI are much better at shooting in HDR / storing high-dynamic scenes. You can also do the same on a proper camera, but it requires some pre-planning and using formats like vlog.

Thanks Alex! Always awesome to hang out. Yes!! lets shoot some cool stuff 👊 Thanks for being in this video! 😉

So you deserve a shity overpriced phone. I want a camera

@@castielvargastv7931 sure no phone camera beats a dedicated one but most people won't carry that dedicated camera all the time. And with the right skills anyone could make "good looking" videos these days. To each their own.

I mostly used the H&Y RevoRing VND+CPL (It's quick and easy to put on and works well with lenses from 67 to 82 filter thread size) - a big downside is if you bump it, it might fall off lol... so just need to be careful with it. Otherwise, the Freewell VND 2-5 & 6-9 stops is the other ones I use if I need a more secure mount.

Here are all the lenses that I have used to film this video: 1. Helios 44-2 58mm f2 2. Nikor 45mm f2.8 3. Voigtlander 35mm f1.5 4. Lumix 18mm f1.8 5. Lumix 35mm f1.8 6. Lumix 28-200mm F4-7.1 7. Sigma 24-70 f2.8

Thanks brother!

Thank you, appreciate it!

Oh yes! The battery life is actually really good. I brought a lot of spare batteries with me but on a long day that started 9am, shooting photos and this video along the way until late night I only used 2 - 3 batteries. If it's a chill day you probably could get away with using just 1 or 2.

Thanks a lot! It's been great to shoot on a compact and light body yet getting as good visuals as the bigger S5II.

Definitely not the cheapest camera out there but with all the features it packs, being full frame with amazing IBIS + the portability and overall fun-factor I think it’s a good value camera. But of course it’s not for everyone as it does have its limitations.

So fun to use especially with small and quirky vintage glass.

LOL! yeah i was about to delete mine as well after watching this

🤣Hahah you guys! Thanks for being in the video, always fun to hang out. 📸🫡

This camera really inspires me to be creative, with the features it does have so I really wanted to push it to its limits with its stabilisation, low light capabilities etc. Yes of course there is no perfect camera, every system has its limitations. I have the Sony FX6, it’s a fantastic piece of kit… is it perfect? no way! It has a lot of missing features - no waveforms, no Open Gate! - even though it has a 3:2 sensor you can never use it, which is crazy… I can go on and on. S5IIX, I love it but also it has its disadvantages. It’s all about the right tool for the right job. Every camera has some limitations. Fun fact, having limitations makes me more creative. Sometimes I just like to take one prime lens rather than a zoom, it just makes you think harder and keeps the creative juices flowing.

Awesome, thanks for watching! All those creators have made videos about the S9, check them out if you want to find out more. :)

Like sony a7c or sony a74 so whats your point?
