Lumix S5II

Debatable They vastly degraded the s5iix image quality with aggressive sharpening and NR post launch (firmware which can't be reversed) and later completely removed streaming functions which were heavily marketed and users specifically paid for with the s5iix over the s5ii Also every other update br

Yes, definitely. I've used other systems as well and always come back to using Lumix the most. I just love their ergonomics, aggressive pricing and menu system - I think the menu system is second best to Leica's. L mount lens selection is excellent now and is getting better every year, most 3rd part

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

I’m about a year in myself with Lumix and it seems you can’t go wrong with any of the primes! I personally enjoy my Sigma 24-70ii f2.8 Art Series with my S5ii for both photo and film. But I recently went out with just the S50mm and remembered how high above their weight these lenses really punch. Es

I've mixed my Lumix S5ii vlog and my second's Sony A7iv slog3 with the same conversation LUT for several years now and literally nobody can tell the difference. Look at my posts and see if there are any giveaways.

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.

I've been harping on Panasonic to fix their heavy spatial NR filtering they use on internal codecs for a long time. I noticed it starting with the S5iix on the first update in June 2023, I have a document written on it too. Unfortunately a huge downgrade after that update and it just looks very blan

High frame rates on the S5II which require an APS-C crop, selfie/vertical videos, Astro & landscape photography. Plenty of uses for a 16mm prime, especially a quality one with AF. Much more accessible than the sigma 14mm or 15mm Art lenses, wider than the lumix 18mm or Sigma 20mm primes.

I think Panasonic has the video game on lock. Also , if you’re looking for a camera there are 2 or 3 S5IIx listed in r/photomarket

I haven't used any of these cameras but I do own the S1ii and have been researching Lumix gear....too much. IMO The size difference between the S9 and S5ii is basically a non factor unless you plan on carting it around in a bag (with a cage it will be difficult to put the S5ii in a small camera bag
