Lumix S5II

Hey there! Full time business photographer videographer here. Looks like you’re hitting the limit of using a hybrid photo camera for long form video. The Nikon Z8 is an incredible camera, but some would say it isn’t built for hour plus continuous recording, especially in a theater environment. Readi

S5iiX and S1ii longtime user here! Been in this situation hunting lenses, many times, for10 yrs. Short answer if one-and-done: Sigma 20-200 Tried almost all Sigmas and Lumixes, bought every FF L mount focal length from primes to zooms, 14-200mm. M4/3 too. Can't go wrong with any starting out really.

It’s totally worth it, you will love this camera. I’m a full time wedding videographer/photographer and S5ii are my main camera currently and I’ve been using LUMIX for 10 years. I’m upgrading to S1II soon!

S5ii bro. Everybody here saying Sony but I truly could not be happier for my decision to go LUMIX. Like seriously I really could not recommend it enough. I freakin love that camera. I’d say rent both for a day or a weekend and try them out first. A worthwhile small investment for such a big decision

I've run my S5ii for 2-3 hours straight in 90+ degree weather in the sun continuous and I never even think to check it because it just works. I was caught off guard when people started reporting overheating for the S1ii because I've had such a good experience with Lumix and the S5ii.

Having owned the S1R and now the S1Rii, the original was a much nicer built camera, with great design touches, I much prefer it from a handling perspective. (I miss the top screen!!) But the S1R’s autofocus is pretty crap, if you’re doing static portraits and landscape work it’s fine but good luck d

I love my S5II, but the only thing that I can see wanting in the future is more resolution. I don't know what Lumix' sales are like, if there's enough to justify all s5 competing with the S1, or not. In my mind, the S1IIe is basically the updated S5II, they'll just need to drop the price a bit when

Here are my tips/what I do. My AF is tact sharp, around the 90% within Sony and Canon range. I also use the 24-70 S Pro, as well as the 70-200mm S Pro (f2.8), 16-35mm S Pro, and a bunch of LUMIX Prime lenses. Update to the latest firmware that released yesterday. Turn AF Detection Setting on. KEY PA

Tbh S1ii is everything that FX3II could be. Besides NDs I cannot image anything that would make it miles better than S1II. Sony will not give it RAW (that's for sure) and imo very unlikely that they will give it NDs - they want to protect higher offerings in the lineup. Unless you know that you will

This illustrates the point that most cameras within the last few years are very good. Unless you need a specific feature, even baseline cameras are awesome. I use 2 S5iis for mostly corporate video shoots and I couldn't be happier. As a Lumix user as far back as the GH1, I love Panasonics focus on v
