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 just switched to the canon r6 mkiii but I use Panasonic s5iix’s at my job. I guess I’m an idiot because I assumed all camera manufacturers have good ibis now but the Canon ibis is fucking dog shit. Almost unusable for video. I really was spoiled by Panasonic.

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.

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.

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