No, these are digital photos. I shoot with the LUMIX S5II. I’m pretty new to this hobby 😅, but one cool thing about the Lumix is you can apply LUTs right while shooting.

LUMIX rejection on luxe weddings
I've mixed my Lumix S5ii vlog and my second's Sony A7iv slog3 with the same conversation LUT for several years now and literally nobody can tell the difference. Look at my posts and see if there are any giveaways.

My long-term LUMIX S1 ii review
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

Beginner dad: What’s the best hybrid camera hybrid (S9 vs other options) for my situation?
I use my camera almost exclusively for family life. 10 bit video, reliable human tracking and good stabilization are the main things to look for in a hybrid dad cam. I wouldn’t recommend an OM-5 or GX9 for your use, because they both lack 2 out of the 3 things I mentioned above. I’ve owned an E-M10

I finally did it. Now someone teach me what I’m doing lol S5IIX
Welcome, the S5-IIx is definitely a good choice for starting into photo and video with a real camera. This is a huge field. I think it's best to look thru a number of YouTube channels that are doing tutorials or show how they work with the cameras. There are lot's of channels and they have very diff

Problems with the S1II
The AF part- 100% my experience (with s5ii at least, the s1ii should be only tad better). The “wide zone +tap to track which actually works and doesnt loose subject” mode on sony is ideal for run&gun/ events and panasonic just makes you concentrate on checking if the focus didnt drifted off instead

Lumix S5ii vs Nikon Z5ii for stills?
Generally, yes. Nikon Z5ii is better for stills and Panasonic S5ii is better for video. Nikon Z5ii has a better autofocus (same as their high-end bodies, better subject recognition and tracking) while the Panasonic S5ii has more video options (6K Open Gate for instance). Both bodies are capable of d

S1ii vs S5ii can you tell the difference?
This illustrates the point that most cameras within the last few years are very good. Unless you need a specific feature, even baseline cameras are awesome. I use 2 S5iis for mostly corporate video shoots and I couldn't be happier. As a Lumix user as far back as the GH1, I love Panasonics focus on v

My first camera and I chose s5iix
Interestingly, I think the S5 ii is anything but soft as it doesn't have an OLPF. It is why a lot of people still feel the S1H is the best 4K Panasonic camera.
