You've always been a dope content creator. When I bought two S1H (still own) you were my go to. I appreciate your outlook an opinions. Lumix makes great cameras and perfect for me. Lumix gang!!
You realize that ARRI, RED, and many other "professional" camera brands have cameras that are exclusively S35 (1.5x crop) sensors? It cropping in at 4k 60 is inconvenient since it's a full frame camera but saying it disqualifies it for professional use is wild
Dustin, thank you for sharing your story. I've been procrastinating starting my own channel centered on Lumix gear in a market oversaturated by Sony and Canon fanboys. Before I could afford my S1H, I did my best on my G7 and binge watched everything Lumix on UA-cam and came across your channel. I'm so glad one of us got around to sharing and showcasing how amazing this brand is for every shooter.
im wedding videographer, based in Spain and I love Lumix camera, when I started, I used Sony and year later I change to my first Lumix s5 mans im so happy to change, cause with Lumix I get everything I ever want, and learn lot from your channel, keep make Lumix content, cause you make great!!
Dustin, thank you for continuing to make videos for the Lumix line. You are one of the very few who still do and I appreciate each and everyone. The "Brand" Ambassador programs started going by the wayside with Canon and their Ambassadors of Light program. Was sad to see that start to diminish. Seems like the Brands would use these better to highlight their gear and the people who use them. Would be something to reach for (a goal or milestone for the Brand and the photographers who use them). Anyway, keep up the great work. There are those of us Lumix users out here that really like what you do and the gear you use. Keep up the good work. Peace.✌
Great video, I have a Sony A7iv, Sony Fx30, lumix s5iix and this week I got an S5ii, made the updates and for me at the moment my lumix are the best cameras for the price .
@@DustinArmstrongPro Dude, I'm not a professional, I just take photos and videos of family and church and I'm even more in love with this camera after the update, I can imagine the feeling of a professional 🤣
Man this video is so great!! Thanks for the transparency, it takes hard work to get into rooms people dream about. You’ve definitely done that and it shows, congrats 🎉 . Also, you were one of the first creators I found that was shooting S5II content when they released it. Thanks for creating this type of content, it’s much appreciated!
Appreciate you watching🙏 That's awesome you found me from the S5II! I'm so behind on S5II content. Probably always will be but trying to catch up on at least some!
Even though I don’t comment very often, I gotta congratulate you for all the stuff you’ve been able to achieve. I’ve learned about Lumix cameras lot from you, and I can’t thank you enough for all the work you do. Keep it up, man!
I have been a Panasonic user from 2013, I still have my MDH2 which i used for events, fell in love with the lumix cameras from gh4 era. Atleast someone's there using lumix for videos, would love to own a lumix one day and yes as you said it hard for someone to buy cameras, still struggling to get my own kit of lumix so i can make good content, love the brand love their cameras. Have been a sony user as i don't have my own camera, but if you ask me i will always go for lumix because i must say lumix is on a different level in term of cameras. Love your videos, gets me motivated to work harder to achieve my dream.
Cool video. I have been shooting with lumix for 3-2 years now. Started with the S1 (amazing) and the S5 and now I am on the S5iix since it came out here in Italy :)
@@klaustrussel io prima usavo fujifilm ma in maniera amatoriale (ero agli inizi) da quando son passato a Lumix ho iniziato a lavorare di più e quindi non più amatorialmente e devo dire che mi sono trovato molto bene! Considera però che io uso solo ottiche manuali quindi zero autofocus. Da quel che so su questa nuova generazione di camere Lumix l’autofocus è ottimo.
@@klaustrussel figurati! Io ho scelto Lumix anche perché preferivo di gran lunga il Log Panasonic, volevo l’open gate in 6k e la stabilizzazione interna del sensore.

Thank you for your content. I would love the Lumix s5IIX for my hybrid type of content. Unfortunately it is out of my budget. Between the body and the few lenses to cover the 16mm to 200mm I shoot at, it appears to be in the $5000 range plus my local sales tax. I know this camera and lenses would cover me for years like my Nikon d3100 (14 years). My other cameras are 5+ years old, but are limited to specific uses. I also like the 4 channel audio option as I am considering getting back into offering service. Please keep up with the content. I was considering a couple of Sony cameras , but after seeing what the S5IIX has to offer, this is the camera I am considering for my next long term use purchase.
Appreciate you watching🙏 I'm sure the S5IIX will be around for awhile and if you wait until your opportune moment, you could probably get a really good deal on one with lenses. Another reason I love LUMIX they seem to do really great deals on their cameras!
Aside from Lumix making the best bang for buck camera gear, how great does their (impossible to get?) merch look? And thanks for putting your time and effort into creating all this content✌️
Lmao I know you can get some of their merch at the LUMIX base in Tokyo, but the hoodies and some shirts have been given to me at events. But don't worry! This is something I'm begging then to start selling. So many people want them especially the hoodie I'm wearing!
Great video!!! Just bought my first camera for taking pictures and some videos on my vacations 😁. Went with the lumix G9II cuz is the best value for your money and I love the image stabilization. Have a question, between the 100-300 and the 100-400 , which one do you recommend? And also , I bought I UHS-ii v60 SD card , but was told I need a V90 instead? Is there a big difference? Thanks for your help 🙏
I'm not as familiar with micro 4/3s gear for LUMIX over S series so I'm not the one to ask haha. V90 though if you're shooting higher bit depth files and higher frame rates. V60 will be fine for most though. Something to consider if you plan to do that though
About to start shooting a web drama satire series. Think Donald Glover’s “Atlanta” but in Memphis. I have the 24-70 2.8 but I want something faster for evening, night and solid DoF. I’m thinking 80mm. I’d even be open to adapting a lens. Any suggestions?
@@DustinArmstrongPro mane. Appreciate the prompt response. I’ll look into it. It’s ironic you drop this video as that same question’s been lingering on my mind since I’ve been working on this project. My initial stance was “what better way to get on LUMIX’s radar than to shoot high quality narrative content, and making it known that their gear was used” You only solidified that stance with this video. Best wishes Bruv. Definitely wanna get in that giveaway. About to follow you right now!
Lumix don't need ambassadors, there's more than enough lumix fanboys on youtube as it is. Strangely enough I do own 2 lumix cameras but almost never mention it.
That's interesting I don't feel like there's a lot of LUMIX fanboys. But maybe it's just the big youtubers I look at. There seems to be a big wave of upcoming LUMIX users. They are still pretty slept on in my opinion
@DustinArmstrongPro definitely. I can't find one video on it..... Shoot with Drones and a pocket 3 using MP4 so would like to keep all the files the same. I don't colour grade as I'm not an illusionist. It would be most helpful!
@@DustinArmstrongPro Yeah, without claim of model number or features it's pretty weak. Then again the P2303A registration from China is now 7 months old...
Well some Camera ambassadors are clearly Bought and Paid for. Then they run on and on about how Blank has no control over what they say. I rather folks just say they are a Blank ambassador for Blank Brands and just leave it at that. And yes Panasonic is severely underrated by most camera users. That needs to change.
Maybe I should make my "why I sold my S5IIX video" private and pretend I still got it :D. Maybe Panasonic is also watching my channel :D - ... joking :D
You never know they might be! I mean I didn't know for over a year and didn't think I'd ever be where I was as small as a youtuber I still am. You never know what could happen🤷♂️
UK Lumix do not support filmmakers in the UK who want to become an ambassador is not accessible. They are totally rubbish unlike the USA Lumix, who allow you to actually keep the equipment.
We love Lumix and the Lumix creators! Stoked to be apart of the Lumix Creators Group🔥
Plus for our episode to come out on the podcast!😉
I gotta Photoshop the one thing for you haha
You've always been a dope content creator. When I bought two S1H (still own) you were my go to. I appreciate your outlook an opinions. Lumix makes great cameras and perfect for me. Lumix gang!!
Appreciate you🙏 hopefully we get a S1H II soon!
Same here 🔌🎬🎥
Panasonic is the best value out there for videographers. You can't beat the S5iix dollar for dollar.
I agree completely!
Can’t disagree
It has a 1.5X crop at 4k 60 and that disqualifies it as a professional use camera, imo.

85mm my dream lens. I got the lumix s5iix too. Now I'm much more motivated to do lumix content plus video related documentary ongoing...
Good luck on the documentary!
Great video 👍🏼 much respect, I like this approach a lot. A part of your story is very close to home with what happened to me recently too. 😊
Love to hear that!
Cool video. I have been shooting with lumix for 3-2 years now. Started with the S1 (amazing) and the S5 and now I am on the S5iix since it came out here in Italy :)
The S1 is what sold me on LUMIX (I rented it for 2 shoots) and S1H was my baby. I love the S5IIX though so insanely underrated.
Come ti trovi con la Lumix? Io ne vengo dal mondo Sony e devo dire che la s5ii x mi ispira parecchio!

Why does no one go through the MP4 video modes?
