    I stopped 1 step shy of the X and went all in on the S5II. I regret nothing! My approach is a bit different... all that dynamic range we get IS GOOD but what it really allows me to do is be able to recover better from my exposure mistakes, haha. Great video and glad to see we're still Lumixing.

    Nigel, I hope you don't take offense at my comment. I'm really happy that you are growing your brand and are able to afford and grow with higher quality equipment and gear that fulfils you as a creator and individual.
    However please dont forget that you have some followers like me from when you used to make content on budget mft cameras and focusing on value that can be derived out of the tight budget category which is why many of us followed you! It's a bit sad that I personally couldn't grow with you but I would kindly suggest that you also include us in future videos. :)

      This comment hits the feels. I purchased a gh3 because of Nigel’s great information long ago. I sold it regretfully for an a7iii that one week after purchase the price dropped and they wouldn’t honor a discount. So I was forced to return it. I got sticker shock and decided not to repurchase at the better price and have not used a decent camera since other than my phone. It feels like a big hole missing in my life. I’ve been looking at the s5iix with the discounted lenses but I have been seeing so many UA-cam promotions about this camera I am scared . I’ve been thinking about the cannon r6 ii as the only option but ends up a bit more expensive.

    Great review Nigel! I wonder where your wired mic went to for your on-location speaking-to-camera shots? Was recorded in body or separately?

  • @wakuyanow
    @wakuyanow 8 місяців тому

    The s5iix looks like a great camera. I guess the full frame makes it preferable to the g9ii? Plus, having already owned the s5, you have the lenses. Both these cameras are so impressive. I think it is funny that, except for the lenses, they are the same size. If you have a chance, I'd love to see you discuss the two cameras in relation to each other.

    • @NigelBarros
      @NigelBarros  8 місяців тому +3

      Yes if I get the opportunity I will compare them, I still love micro 4/3 but full frame definitely has its advantages!

    • @wakeywarrior
      @wakeywarrior 6 місяців тому

      Micro four thirds is an end of life format. I had a G9, great camera, but you want to go full frame now really. Can get much smaller lenses as well nowadays, not much difference in size when you compare what the apertures and focal lengths really are on each camera given the crop sensor. G9 II has sold very poorly apparently.

    I got to test out the S5IIX from Panasonic UK last month, really, really loved it. My main camera is the FX30 from Sony, which in almost every metric is a "better" camera, but the S5IIX suits my style so well, I'm genuinely considering picking one up to use for projects where the Open Gate could be valuable - because it is. The question is can I justify investing in the new camera and new lenses just for a 3:2 6K aspect ratio.
