LUMIX S5IIX

I ran some test shoots with my X100V and the S5IIX and have to say that, even with F-Log, the footage already looks remarkably similar. I then converted the X100V F-Log material to F-Log2 using a Color Space Transform (CST) (which likely introduced some color shifts, as the X100V doesn't natively su

I switched from Sony (a7r5, a1) to Panasonic last year. Picked up the s5iix and a few lenses. I fell in love with video on that camera, and for photos is was pretty good, but nothing I would write home about coming from those two Sony bodies. I’ve since purchased the s9 (which I love for a small wal

No, it will not be 2x harder at all. Raw is pretty overrated in my opinion. The fundamentals of composition, lighting, blocking, costume and production design will have a much larger impact on your images. Example: I recently directed a feature film shot primarily with an ARRI Amira. A limited numbe

Panasonic S5IIX. I love it because I prefer Panasonic’s color science over everyone else’s.

After 11 or 12 years as a Fuji user, first X-E1, X-T2 and X-T3 and boatload of lenses. I moved to Lumix Purchased full frame S5iiX and lenses, very happy with the move. Very Fuji like with the LUTS color system, only better IMHO. The camera body is heaver but the f/1.8 primes are very light and shar

I'm so glad you like them! Comparing the A1 and S5IIX is like comparing apples to oranges, honestly. I no longer shoot with the A1 but when I did I used it specifically for aviation photography. The burst speed on the A1 is the best I've used for capturing high speed action. One thing that surprised

If the focus is supposed to be the bottle, you didn't do a good job of maintaining that focus especially in earlier parts of the film. The shots of him paying for it are too wide. The top-down shot of him paying for the bottle was poorly framed and it should have been cut for a different shot. The w

I see a lot of these posts and similar posts on YouTube, it makes me happy people are seeing that Sony isn’t the glowing messiah that a lot of people make them out to be (nothing like a bit of hyperbole). Not that there’s anything wrong with Sony cameras mind, they have a whole heap of great cameras

Where are you located? You can easily find an original s5 used for somewhere between 600-800 USD and sometimes even less and it is still a great option especially as a B-cam. Unfortunately there are not many other options for L-mount cameras in your price range, other than trying to find a deal on a

So I started with the s5iix. The phase detect autofocus was perfect for my needs as I don’t do any professional sports. It locks on. Not as good as Sony but not much worse, and the ibis blows Sony out of the water. I also significantly prefer the skin tones coming out of Panasonic cameras, and for v
