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.

People just hate panasonic for no reason. Thats what I wrote. Plus a personal story how sony fools customers. Yeah the s5iix is a really robust camera.

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

It's always great to hear another person's experiences. Speaking specifically of native lenses (since I don't dive much into third-party due to color rendering), I think you've highlighted the main issue with Panasonic/Lumix, which is consistency. Their lenses can be excellent, but their quality con

I'll trade you my "perfect" S5M2X for your "faulty" S1M2E any day 😂 I use both the S5x and S1 II, professionally, neither have overheated on me, including long takes and shooting in the sun. While the S5x is great, the S1 II series is a compelte rework of the body and ergonomics, everything is bette
