engineer here. open gate, 30fps h.265, waveforms, shutter angle, independent sliders for bitrate/resolution/crop ratio/framerate, in-camera double stacking LUTS like panny does now, focus transitions, live cropping... THERE'S SO MANY THINGS THAT ARE SIMPLE SOFTWARE FEATURES THAT SONY JUST SAYS "NOPE" TO
Not an engineer but the Lumix cameras are spec cameras good on paper only. Feature always comes with compromise. No Lumix footage holds up to Sony or Canon's best cameras. Look it up. Lumix sales are also way behind Sony and Canon. Sony and Canon are always chasing RED's image quality and Lumix is way behind. The only thing Lumix users defend are the specs, it's never showcasing the image they produce.
What I would like to see on the Lumix, is open gate or 3:2 selection in all the different resolution/frame rates. So you can get 1080p, 60, 120, framerates, etc.
@ Don’t be sorry. Again, for portrait professional work, Z8 excels LUMIX, but video profesional work LUMIX does better than Nikon. Both are amazing tools ⚒️
I agree, and this part about Lumix bugs me. I need two systems to get different jobs done. Lumix for video hands down. Lumix for photo to a point. For wildlife I can get excellent results with G9ii *in good light. Low light, wildlife - neither L mount or MFT excels.
Was a sony a6400 user , planned to uograde to FX30 but then i starter my research and found that Lumix got some bangers for the bucks . The features are insane . I picked up a lumix s9 as i mainly am a video person and almost save 1000$
21:34 agree! physically locking the sensor and still having ibis would be awesome. Lumix is already great but here some more things I wish to see in the S1H/BS1H successor: - no more crop in 60/50 fps (or have both option) - no more HDMI lag - better rolling shutter performance (I notice it the most in 50 fps anamorphic) - or Gyro Data for handling rolling shutter in post - better 100/120 fps quality - Braw internal :) - Arri Log-C 3 like in the GH7 - SDI output This would be my perfect camera. If they can do half of it I‘m in :). I don‘t need: 8K
Woohoo! Great work again Matthew. I've been following Jason for a while now since I also shoot on both Sony and Lumix, and am glad that he's choosing the right tools depending on the job. Lesson is to stay aware and chose what works best for you at the time, whether it's an iPhone or an Alexa.
I’ve had a chance to play with a buddy’s lumix s5iix and the image that comes out of it is way better straight out of cam with a conversion lut smashed on it.
Well?...I do own both. GH6 - GH7 - S5IIX - FX6 - A7SIII and FX30. I use both Sony and Lumix but yes,..I absolutely do enjoy Lumix the most. Nothing wrong with Sony, I just like how aggressive Lumix is.
I do accept photos straight out of Lumix at a higher rate than most other brands, now I would like to see some higher resolution Lumix models in the Full Frame lineup, maybe an 52mp S5R probably.
A $2000 S5ii and S5iix are killing the game! I still run with a S1 and Black Magic Video Assist and it’s still amazing! Once I add more plus 400 to the temperature and it looks deadly close to my Black Magic Cinema 6k. One camera with and one without, I think I’m good with my 2 6k open gate cameras.
I'm Looking to purchase A full frame camera but a different brand I'm coming from Canon 80D I need help deciding I want to shoot Portraits and street photography
The competition is pulling ahead with features like auto subject recognition, auto track people & pre-capture/pre-burst as well as 8K60 and basics like 4K120 and HD240 with autofocus where Panasonic looses detection mode at 120p on G9II. Firmware is not infallible either, had a bricked S9.
For filmmaking and video work S5II/X and even G9II are amazing. For wildlife photography, G9II has the reach and amazing super slow motion but starts to fall apart in low light. Unfortunately L-Mount is severely lacking in super telephoto as well as fast pre-burst and there's no slow motion at either 4K120 nor HD240p or 300p . The "I have to pick and choose" live view composite is S5II/G9II but not S9 & Hybrid zoom is on S9 but no others and so on is getting old. Panasonic needs a pro camera for wildlife in L-mount with PDAF and high MP for cropping down. Then L mount tops out at 600mm sigma ...no first party . The competition is pulling ahead.
Amazing podcast like always, and love the direction you’re taking see you with Jason made me think that it would be super cool to see an episode with Terry Worfield, which he is a Sony shooter too, but got in to lumix too through the S9. So it would be a really cool one to have and here his prospective too
I have an original S5. Takes glorious 1080P and that's all I need so I won't be needing to upgrade. I just hope the S5 III finally has 4K 120 / 1080P 300 with no crop and autofocus. The colors are beautiful but they're really behind on everything else.
Luckily you've got a LUMIX presence in Australia. Here in South Africa they are basically non existent. When the s5 was realised I had to order it on Amazon which is fine but I wouldn't even know where to send it for a service
Here I am with a GH5S and a GH6 and wanted the GH7 (mainly for auto focus/no streaking) but lately have been considering going into Sony as thats what everybody is using and I always see tag alongs or jobs asking people to have Sony lol...
I’m a canon shooter planning to go to Sony. I love the lumix cameras but I feel like I need an ecosystem I can grow into. The lumix cinema line doesn’t have many options
Fair! The nice part about the L Mount alliance (food for thought) is you can switch to Black Magic Cinema cameras which are insane, DJI chicken 4D which is super powerful, Lecia, and Sigma cameras in the future which I would say could be consider more “future proof”
I’ve changed camera systems five to six times……never have I felt the need to announce it to the world. But then…..I’m not a imUA-camr trying to push products! Seriously though, who cares!
Wellllll that is every 3-4 years and if you are switching systems lenses and camera brands (not just upgrading the camera body) I would still consider that quite a lot😂 depending on how serious of a kit it is
@@MatthewDangyou and if you can't afford to change systems regularly, you shouldnt watch videos like this. Changing from current gen Sony to current gen Panasonic is such a minor upgrade (if at all) but will cost you thousands. Really doesnt make any sense.
love the fact that on all lumix channels no-one talks about the issue with the sound on the s5iix .... that sound destroys footage ... plus no-one talks about the hdmi lag that makes the mounting of a monitor unworkable.... but i like you all find the camera amazing and with no issues .... thats the way lumix will fix those issues....or maybe point out sony issues ...like we care
Tbh I have mentioned this lots of lumix people mentioned this. If you are recording RAW for sure this is a HUGE issue, but as a commercial filmmaker and recording sound separately from it. I turn the sound off and there is zero lag
@@MatthewDangyouRight !!! I’m still blown away LUMIX hate finds its way into the comments. Like Sony doesn’t overheat, Canon Lens equal a small car, BlackMagic has to be rigged with Power and Fuji AF is a whole Vibe. I’m making money with my LUMIX Cameras it’s just one of those viewpoints I’m like… “Are you really using the Camera or just venting recklessly” ? 😂
It’s always the channels with no videos that love complaining. Deep pockets without understanding the beauty of why people use different tools to create is hypocritical. None of the issues you mentioned are deal breakers. Even as a hobbyist these are minimal. Lumix has created a full working camera with few flaws and a beautiful image. Find your reason to create bro.
@@NasosPapanasos never have any issues with my sound. And I don’t use monitors now especially with my GH7 being that’s it shoots raw internally now. My only issue was the streaking in the GH6 and the AF not being there 5% of the time when I wanted which was never a big deal for me.
Thank you for having me on. Absolutely loved the chat. Anytime!

@@contentm3893 “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt”
Is the focus transition avialable in the full frame lumix cameras?
I know it is on my gh5
Lumix is like a well kept secret inside the reviewer community, glad to see this.
Shhh 🤫

That would be great! 3:2 just is the new resolution we all want
I think Nikon and Lumix are the perfect way to go. I have my Lumix S9, S5IIX for video and EDC and my Z8 for profesional photo work.
Sorry for your choices. Even Nikon said their Z9 RAW video image was way behind RED Raw. Since that is true where does Lumix lit in image quality.
@ Don’t be sorry. Again, for portrait professional work, Z8 excels LUMIX, but video profesional work LUMIX does better than Nikon. Both are amazing tools ⚒️
@@soyluisvalenzuelaThe S1R is on par with the Z8

When you touch a Lumix camera you never go back to Sony.
Ha definitely is hard switch once you’ve worked with the color
Blacked out S5iix! Once you go black you…. Nevermind lol
Bruh 😂😂😂😂

Settled for s5iix for hybrid work. And video centric. Support the L mount! Pixis Blackmagic. Leica. Panasonic. FTW

I had to accept having Panny's unreliable AFC and then switched to Sony. Panny may now have a good autofocus but I got used to my a6700
So what about the latest autofocus and tracking feature's on the A12?
Camera wasn’t released or announced when we recorded this episode👍🏻

SAME!
Jason is cool
For sure!
The only catch to me with the Lumix is the moire. It happened twice to me already.
Could it be solved using filters? Mist or diffusion filters
It is only an S5ii/X issue as far as I know, and I'd imagine they'll avoid it in the future.
This is exactly what I am worried about as well! Does diffusion filters prevent moire - especially in nature?
I have both Sony and Lumix for 5yrs 🤷🏽♂️. People been sleeping on LUMIX.
Looks like you are with the wind, never on land.
We just need a new video centered flag ship camera
