LUMIX S5IIX

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 wouldn't say it's video first. It's just that Lumix actually gave you the video features required to fully utilize the capabilities of the camera. The competition often kneecapped their cameras by treating video as a gimmick. Even on Sony cameras, which were popular for video and had capable hardw

My advice would be to keep the S9, and perhaps add another FF Lumix to the mix. You'll be able to use the same lenses, and at same time increase your shooting experience. The S9 is a nice camera for what it's designed for. I have 2 lumix also, and took both of them recently on a trip abroad and glad

The S9 doesn't have any official weatherproofing, so if you anticipate harsh conditions out on the mountain that will defnitely be a consideration. While the build quality on the S9 is good, I wouldn't necessarily call it "rugged" by any stretch. If you're taking the camera out onto the mountain and

Some thoughts as a full time videographer who has shot weddings in the past: I have the r6 mk3. I do not recommend it as a video-only camera. I bought it to be my hybrid body to complement my c70.

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

Actually its freakin amazing, you get paid for doing something that you love, it doesnt matter commercial or not. 90% of us here just spend not make any money with photo or video. Very cool! Is there anything you can share? Also how do you like the S9? I guess for the video work lack of mechanic shu

I was a Fuji X user for over 10 years, I moved to the Lumix. I purchased the S5iiX it came with the S 85mm f/1.8. for (Thank you B&H) free I also purchased from eBay the S Pro 16-35mm used like new for $695.00. I really like street photography the most, so I took the S Pro 16-35mm out for a spin wit

I just get confused by the language some people use when trying to downplay the reality of the overheating. Even in our short exhange, you started at "doesn't really overheat" and immediately went to "it obviously overheats quicker than my S5IIX." It's a bit of whiplash, and I don't think downplayin
