LUMIX S5IIX

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

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

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? I ask #2 because I don't know much about s5IIx capabilities so I looked up what is important to me as spo

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

The next line is Editing always plays a factor, but when I compare my S5IIX to my ZR, ZF, or Z6III... hands down nikon looks better. so they swapped from another full-frame camera, nothing to do with m43. Just happened to be Panasonic.

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

Wow, S tier camera handling skills; very sharp and contrasty photos. As for protection of the camera body: search for “Anti-Scratch Camera Skin Wrap Sticker Coat Vinly Protective Film Body Protector Decals Cover for Panasonic LUMIX S5 Mark II S5II S5IIX S5M2 S5M2X (Circuit Black)” or something like

I am an also a low budget horror film maker and I've got the S5İİ X and I fucking adore it. I recently shot a proof of concept horror short with it and the image coming out of it was simply stunning with just a simple grade on Davinci Resolve and I wasn't even shooting ProRes to an SSD, just a all i

If budget is a deciding factor, why not start out with the S9 or S5II/X and the very good 20-60mm kit lens? It is regarded by many as one of the best kit lenses ever made. In any case the kit lens is so discounted when bought as a kit that it doesn't make sense to not get it, unless you find a very
