s5ii

Camera “phone” or if you have a budget g85 with mechanical lens for cheap. Medium budget Panasonic s5ii and a lens. Audio need shure 7mb or similar based on budget xlr is king. Good mixer so many options. Just make sure it’s 32 bit float. Helps in post Editing. Davinci…. That’s all you need!

I did because I'm ridiculous and wanted to treat myself. It's been so much more work than a beginner dslr to figure out and program a "one size fits most" mode, and only I can see the difference in the photos locally since they always get compressed online, even in dedicated cloud storage, but whate

Panasonic literally said after last years’ S1s that the no other flagship camera is coming in at least 2 years so the only informations about S1HII are from people who just wishes it to be truth lol Why would you be disappointed? What do you think new S1s are lacking? Heck, even S5II? Its 2026, almo

Not sure if my opinion is of any value to you, but I'm a former S5II owner. I took advantage of Panasonic LUMIX's trade-in trade-up promotion, which provided me a $400 discount on the purchase of the new S series camera and I received ~$850 in value for my S5II (varies depending on condition, mine w

Either the Sony or Nikon ecosystem. Sony has the largest lens catalogue and Nikon has some interesting offerings like the Z5ii/Z8 which is priced very competitively. I would avoid the RF series because of the close mount. The Z5ii is pretty good bang for the buck, and Nikon has the f1.4 non-S lenses

As the one who converted from G9 myself, something like S5II will suit you just right and will improve autofocus because it now has PDAF instead of just DFD on G9. I did use S9 at first but really missed EVF, so took advantage of this Best Buy deal, that gets you S5II, 20-60 kit plus free 85mm f1.8

I think 7Artisans makes fantastic low budget Cine lenses. I shoot on an S5iiX, and I currently own only one 7Artisans: the 14mm Spectrum Cine for L-Mount. It's a full frame lens (I believe the Vision series is APS-C, yes?). Regardless, they have a fantastic build quality. The focus throw is 270 degr

Fujifilm has more fun factor for sure. I really like the user experience. I traded an x-s20 for an S5II. I have also owned an X-H1 and X-T30 II. I do miss the smaller size and more affordable lenses, but I didn’t really care for the film simulations and if you mainly develop raw files, I will say th

Both companies have put MFT on life support. I don’t want to say it’s impossible, but I do think it’s basically impossible. I expect Panasonic will only make large professional cameras, on MFT or FF, using the G9II/S5II body shape. They are clearly committing to that body for consistency in professi

Sony undoubtedly has fantastic cameras, I think few people disagree. And whilst it was Canon (with cameras like the 5D) that started the DSLR/ mirrorless revolution - they never really specifically made or marketed their cameras towards video. Sony did (and Sony of course does have excellent pedigre
