    I bought the S5 I and around 2 years after the S5 II X. I am NOT selling my S5 I as I want a 2 camera setup for my own UA-cam channel that is indoor / talking head style. The S5 I is a great second camera. No point in selling it and taking a huge loss. It is still a great camera.

    Hello I'm thinking of buying the S5 or S5ii I'm mainly using it to film when my standup set will the focus and low light be ok with a S5 or do I opt for an S5ii I'm so confused but I really don't want to spend much

    You can shoot 4k, 60, 10 bit (420) on the original S5 and the recording limit is only in 4k. 1080 is unlimited.

    The autofocus is not that bad if you adjust the sensitivity and shoot with AFS rather than AFC. Also you can bump up the f stop higher and iso as well to compensate for the autofocus pulsing.

    I haven't shot photos since I sold my Nikon D40 6 years ago. 0:53 Too late! Last week I'm not sure what happened, but I started researching what camera to buy out of the blue and today I won my new S5. I can't wait to start shooting again.

    Interesting that I should find this video today. I bought a new s5 last night for $850. Am planning on using it exclusively with the Ninja V, and also have a set of Nikkors that I will put on it when I am not using my Zeiss glass. I’m excited to put the camera through its paces. Thanks for the video.

    Please help me find the movie I've been looking for for years. Description: A girl and a boy are put in a military box where they are being tested. After that, this military base will no longer exist. These two people will not remember their past. After a few years, they will be able to escape from this box. They will be the same as they were. They will end up in a world where everything is based on electricity. All their relatives will be dead. When they find out, they try to steal a time machine so that they can go back.

    I saw the s5 performs a little better in low light, can you increase contrast-based detection auto focus with raising the in-camera contrast and sharpness? I am thinking of getting one over the fuji series as I have a G9 but a Sony full frame, so this is a tough call, but I love lumix, and mainly record in low light

    I'm glad to see that there are people talking about these old camcorders in capable hands they perform surprisingly well. I'm mostly filming in low light conditions which can be challenging but it can also look cool the shot at 6:40 is my favourite example of this in the video. I'm curious what tips if any could you give for filming in low light conditions with such cameras?

    by influence like these videos, I brought S5 + 20-60mm + 50mm lens from amazon. But I really failed to understand why there is so much hype? The image quality was bad, grainy, not good color sign. Autofocus is shit, I checked many videos of AF settings but nothing seems worked. I do mobile photography, the quality of S5 is bad compared to my honor Magic 5 Pro. I am confused, Full Frame, super hype but this s5 felted like I was cheated. I returned back and planning to get Sony A7C M2.

    • @tomefilms3438
      @tomefilms3438 3 місяці тому

      If you're planning on buying something else, it probably won't help you anyway if you're able to compare a mobile phone to the Panasonic S5. If you've watched as many videos as you write, you could have noticed before buying that the autofocus is not good in the S5. The rest of what you write are just the words of someone who doesn't understand the settings and relies on auto mode. That's what it sounds like to me.

    • @rajeshkumar-zq6gy
      @rajeshkumar-zq6gy 3 місяці тому

      @@tomefilms3438 There is no rule that we should not compare mobile photography with Full Frame. I am investing money for content creation. I have used pro mode in mobile, aware of aperture, shutter, ISO, etc. I have tried this S5 on both AF and MF, have tried all settings explained on the YT. In my opinion its not worth, the image were bad, I used both 20-60mm and 50mm kit lens. When yo take a picture on normal condition the output should put a smile on your face not forwnie. Hopw you understand.

    Is it worth shooting in Prores Raw vs shooting h265? I dont see a major difference in quality. I once troed the ninja v with my s5 and the colors in post looked different, after converting to rec 709. Too much saturation and the contrast curve looke weird (i used the same rec 709 lut as usual and tried CST). So i decided its maybe not worth the hussle. But what do you say is it worth for the image quality and did i do something wrong?

    Since a 600 dollar atomos seems mandatory, you need to factor that into its price. With the worthless af and terrible internal codec options, this needs to be 500 bucks. Add the 600 dollar atomos and you get a 1100 dollar cinema camera that can’t af worth shit but will give you great footage with a little extra work.

    For manual vintage lenses ( and not only ) wouldn’t a PD movie auto focus system solve the problem ? I have rigged my S5 with an Atomos Ninja V on top of it, but the auto focus problem isn’t solved yet. Can’t make up my mind between the DJI ( LIDAR ? ) auto focus system or the newest PD Movie system 🤦🏻‍♂️🤔 Great content! Keep it up 👍🏻
