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

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

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

I've always been a ride or die for Panasonic cameras. GH4, GH5, and now the S5IIx. Just a shame that everything prosumer is essentially Sony. If they were to release an FX6 competitor that would be amazing.

Two questions to make you think. What are you missing in not having the desired big 3 camera systems vs your s5IIx. Meaning what more will you gain? Are you sure it's not your skill vs the gear?

Regarding IBIS - Panasonic is on a completely different level. Nikon’s stabilization is nowhere near as good as Panasonic’s, not even close. There’s a simple physical reason: Panasonic bodies have a much larger IBIS chamber, which gives the sensor more space to move and correct motion. It’s not just

I understand your frustration. One of the reasons I LOVED my Panasonic AF100 was that they didn't skimp on the professional stuff. It had XLR inputs, it had locking HDMI, it had SDI video output through a BNC connection, it even had RCA jacks (the yellow one was how you output timecode to another de

I don't have the GH7, but I've got an S5iix. While I do love the camera and I knew that L mount lenses weren't quite as available as some of the competition (Sony in particular), I do feel like the amount of lenses available and the price of them is at least a bit more detrimental than I thought. Th

(Shot on Lumix S5m2x) You'll have to stop down to f8 for the vignette to be acceptable. I'm using the 40mm for street/daily photography only so it's not much of an issue for me (for now). edit : this is with vignette correction on.
