Lumix S5II

Idk what camera you are using but my om-3 autofocus is a lot better than my Lumix s5ii and about 80% as good as my canon r8

Did pretty much the same thing a year ago with the Lumix S5ii. Got caught into hype and grass is greenered my way to Lumix. Missed Sony superior autofocus and customizing features. Sold my Sony kit at a loss for Lumix, realized Sony is my system, sold my Lumix kit at a loss, and bought back in to So

I've had some trouble with the S5ii AF, but that's because it locked onto the wrong subject, never because it was slow. Unless by "key moments" you mean something sudden and unexpected, which I have no experience of, it seems a bit strange. Barring the lens' performance (I only use Lumix glass, so I

Does it overall feel snappier than the s5ii? Faster boot, faster switch between modes, faster auto focus etc? I used the a7iv before I bought the s5iix and that thing feels instant with everything, with the lumix is feels like everything is a bit delayed, even when pressing the shutter

As a filmmaker (not videographer) the last reason you should choosing a camera for is Autofocus. Just keep practicing manual, you'll get there. Mistakes when focusing manually look far nicer (even 'cinematic') than with AF which is jarring. How can you be sure the AF on the S5ii is all its chalked u

It should have been a camera and not a video camera. It looks like a Leica, so do everything to make it take top-quality photos and leave the video aside. The 15 minutes of video proves it; the form factor of the body is not made for video! In contrast, the Lumix team decided to make compromises eve

In my opinion, the S1II (like the S5II) is a downgrade compared to the S5 if you don't need fast AF.There is however a

Godox and the Panasonic L-mount bodies may not be a great choice, like it is for everybody else: https://www.reddit.com/r/Lumix/comments/1egjpzb/godox_and_s5iix_is_a_bad_pairing/ There's apparently a lag on firing, and issues with TTL accuracy, as well as banding issues with HSS. Godox might work if you'r

had the s5ii for a minute. yellow means face/eye detect is active but not confirmed focus. green means locked and tracking. the switch happens when half press or when af locks. frustrating they dont explain this. the lumix online course on their site covers this in the af module - its free. also the

I switched over to Lumix S5ii due to the image being way better and regret it. I totally grass is greener’d and miss Sony autofocus real bad. I’m going to pick up another Sony and use the Lumix as a b-cam, as well as a handheld b-roll camera because the IBIS is so frickin good.
