The last wedding I filmed I wound up shooting the ceremony in raw and the the other parts in camera. It actually worked quite well in helping me to keep from data dumping. The parts where i wanted maximum color and quality looked great and i had plenty of room for speeches and reception.
Great video!!! Especially enjoyed the intro. I had a similar thought when I seen it... I just wanted to sing the AC/DC Back in Black chorus!!! QUICK QUESTION: I cant find the answer to this ANYWHERE ONLINE. I am a hybrid wedding shooter and one of the issues I have with my current Sony A7s III and the A7 IV is the lag experienced in photo mode after firing off 4 to 5 photos and then immediately jumping into video mode to record a few seconds of video. How does the S5 IIx perform in that same situation? Currently I am looking at the Nikon z8 since there is zero LAG in that type of situation. (from what i have seen online) but that camera is $2,000 more soooooo any insight you can chime in on this would be a huge HELP. If the S5 IIX can switch faster than a Sony A74 with a v90 UHS II SD card in it, then I think I found my solution. Fingers crossed over here and thanks for your time and all you great videos.
Seem pretty instantaneous to me if you use the top mode wheel. Obviously, if you’re recording a long video file, you might have to wait a second for the file to close so keep that in mind, but in terms of switching modes from photo to video, it was super fast.
Is the camera only available for the UA-camrs who are reviewing it? And for general public its availability is showing as End of May this month.. Can you explain it please?
I switched from my s5 to a fx30 which i love, but i really want sd recording, so the pro-res 800gb for 1 hr is crazy! I really would just do normal 4k v-log probably. But i LOVE my sony now too, but LOVE the colors of all the s5's. I'm not one to hold onto many cameras, until i get to like using fx6's type gear, so I MAY switch to the s5iix, it seems promising, now with the AF, which was why i sold my s5 originally
Thank you but that lag on external screen is a deal breaker for professional cinematography. Can this be fixed with with a software update. Also, how are the internal codecs because Raw is just not feasible at those sizes.
@@WeddingFilmSchool There is a lag in image if you attach an external monitor so what shows on screen is running a few seconds behind what the camera is recording at that moment. This makes pulling focus manually absolutely a nightmare. This is a long standing problems with Panasonic cameras and they need to fix it.
You have no idea how much i want to sell all my Canon gear and move over to the S5iiX The fact it can be a tight 10bit H.265 with autofocus camera like every other camera company OR a fully fledge cinema camera that can record RAW and anamorphic Do you guys release this camera SLAPS!!!! 😍

Which camera did you shoot the talking head portion of the video with? That footage also looks great.
What lenses are best for a wedding? Thanks in advance.
If you look in the description, we actually have a whole entire breakdown of a lot of the equipment will recommend for a new one if you want to check.
Super cool video.. one question. How do you transcode the BRAW in fcpx?
Can’t. Same as in the last it’s Divinci only… if you want to work in FCPX you just use ProRes Raw
@@WeddingFilmSchool thanks for the reply
You need to use an external app called RAW Convertor or something
Great review! Those raw files are stunning.
Thanks man!!!

I will check
@@WeddingFilmSchool so awesome of you!!!!! Thank you so much!
Your price is you just gotta share this vid somewhere. Lol!
@@WeddingFilmSchool will do.

Great video, would you be confident to use it at a wedding as a A camera on autofocus, with a mist filter on a gimbal, no video monitor?
I have used the S5II so I would def use the X.
@@WeddingFilmSchool Did the af give you a hard time? How would you compare it with a Sony af, throughout a whole 10 hour shoot?
You should watch the full S5II (not X version) review we did. We did a full AF shoutout with Sony and Canon.

prerelease, but this is a production model. I'd preorder though as it probably will sell out!

Can’t go wrong with any of those cams! The S5IIX is a beats though

What do you mean? It has a wide range of codecs. Check out our original S5II review for the full list. It cannot record raw internally though.

No lag.
@@WeddingFilmSchool Are you sure?
@@DineshBhadwal not that we experienced. Given, we are not shooting weddings with a focus puller but it seemed right in the nose to us.

Do you guys release this camera SLAPS!!!! 😍
It’s a super amazing value!
It's H.264
@@salamone100 it has H.265
Super cool video.
Thanks!
So metal
Right?!
I ain't upgrading for like another 3+ years since A7s3 is just perfect, no reason for raw, its so pointless. Focus on the shot, direct better.
The A7siii is certainly a great camera.
Is also $1300 more than the Lumix s5iix.
