    I just shot a feature film on this camera. Absolutely blown away by the image, pure poetry. You will need to spend 70k on an Arri to get a better image. I shot into the Ninja 5 at 5.9k RAW. 422, 10 bit 5.9k RAW out of a camera body you can get for 1,300 bucks!!!!!!! (I think it is actually 12 bit going into the Ninja) I was shooting GH5 before I came across this camera, but I will never go back to micro4/3rds after shooting full frame on this machine. My DP said exactly the same thing and is now selling his GH5's. You do get slightly more rolling shutter, because of the full frame, so you would have to design your shots differently for an action film, but I cannot say enough great things about the S5. I was shooting GH$ and GH% before this and have to tell every filmmaker out there, FULL FRAME is 10 levels above M4/3. Obviously, if you shoot sports, or want a faster burst rate for stills or higher frame rates for slow mo you choose a different camera, but for narrative filmmaking this camera is stellar. I could be tempted by the Red Komodo because if the global shutter, but I prefer the image and color science out of the S5. Highly recommended. Thanks for the review, but you might even have under sold this fantastic machine.

    As an s1 owner the only thing that would bother me is seeing the focus of panasonic and the firmware updated to be focus on the s5, and the feeling that the s1 is neglected. I had that feeling when firmware updated began to roll out. But now i see that the s1 will be getting the raw over hdmi as well. But i do feel sometimes worried that the s1 is kinda being treaded like an old camera instead of a flagship camera as id like it to be. Also, i do have to take into account that the the entire firmwares updated did no even exist year's ago... We should still feel very fortunate that this products keep getting better after we buy them. For example, its incredible how much my autofocus has inproved since this last update I've even used it a few times :) so Even tho we are use to this i think its pretty amazing.

      I had the GX7 and the GX8, since those years where Panasonic only had the M4/3 format I have dreamed of a fullframe with the design of the GX line, Sony was ahead of them, although it seems a camera with many debts, Panasonic should surprise and offer a product as it always does: balanced and more cerebral.

    I currently focus on documentary films (on a very lean starting budget; all out of pocket) and my initial canera is the old Panasonic UX-180.... . I am looking at the S5 because the color science is similar, but it can push me closer towards the future..... from 8 bit and beyond. Plus it is a package that I can take on the motorcycle as well as hike with and has the weather resistance that the UX-180 does not have..... for out of the box, I can match the UX-180 with Cin-D mode, or switch to V-Log between primary and B camera..... that is my thinking anyway.

    Nice review! I really would like to get into full frame for my portrait photography business. I wish Panasonic had simply put a full frame sensor into a G9 body! It's still the best mirrorless camera body I've used. The S5 looks great but I would so miss the top LCD status panel. The S1 layout is more to my liking but it's such a brick!!! Like someone took a G9 and recast it from lead. Native L mount lenses are pretty hefty too -- Nikon's Z glass seems noticeably smaller. Nikon's Z6ii seems like my next best option but then I lose all the familiarity I have with the Lumix system. Woe is me 😂

    I upgraded from the GH5 to the S5 and although the S5 its a great camera, I'm not comfortable shooting with it. The viewfinder is awful and impossible to nail focus with it. Visually there is no that much differences between the S5 and the GH5 but the Gh5 feels so much nicer and better ergonomically when working. With the S5 I found myself changing the shooter speed all the time by mistake and the grip doesn't feel as good as the gh5. Probably the S1 is a better camera, but I was concerned about the weight. I'm still considering changing it for the S1

    to be honest as a perspective buyer looking at s1 used prices and s5 new prices, i dont know if there is exactly a reason why i'd be upset for the s5 if i chose to buy the s1 lol
    Sidenote: i feel like the ibis performance difference of half a stop is due to the smaller footprint and weight not because it is an inferior ibis. i noticed this switching from canon 6d to sony a7 (the original) as the weight of the lens and body was also a way to "stabilize" my shots. and i can see physically that my hand shake affects the smaller camera a little more. which can go off to around half a stop of a difference. just a speculation

    • @T.R.A.N.C.E
      @T.R.A.N.C.E 4 роки тому +5

      I can explain. Basically Panasonic was full of themselves when they released S1 and S1H, thinking people would buy them based on GH5 fame. But S1H was way overpriced and lacking some critical features they were probably going to add in an update while the S1 feature set was purposefully gimped to not sabotage S1H. The products thus flopped and Panasonic panicked, decided to forget about S1 and S1H and put all resources into developing a camera as cheap as they can called S5 but with features of S1H/GH5 and more, trying their hardest to get the GH5 owners to convert after their failed attempt with S1 and S1H. It may actually work, but unfortunately leaves owners of the S1 series with a bad taste in their mouth. If Panasonic have any integrity they will update the S1 with these features, but they won't, they already made S1 owners pay $200 for a v-log firmware update, while the S5 just comes with these features plus more and at a lower price point. Basically Panasonic have their heads up their arses, but the S5 is undoubtedly a nice feature rich camera.

    S1, S1H, S1R, S5, the Panny cameras don't display actual image on neither EVF nor LCD, landscape photographers will find it difficult using CPL filters, because when they turn the circular polarizer, the image in the EVF or LCD stays unchanged, it's rather difficult to find the best angel for the polarizer. Very frustrating .... Maybe by taking several images or by pressing the preview button several times......

      @@AlexJenkins From what research I have done over the past few weeks, I had shortlisted the Xt4, Z6ii and S5 cameras best suited for my needs i.e. 4k 60fps 10 bit 420 or cropped 422, 24-26mp sensor (FF but if not , then asp-c) with good balance of image and video capture capabilities.
      But each of these is not the perfect camera.
      Xt4 is not a FF, Z6ii cant do internal 4k 10 bit and S5 auto-focus is just way too bad for videos.
      However, I think it will be best to wait as Z6ii will release a new firmware in Feb 2021 that will allow for 10 bit recording (dont know if its 420 or 422, fully internal or 422 external). If they give option of 422 4k 60p fully internal , even with a crop, then this will be the camera for me.
      Also, Olympics is always a thing, these camera companies always launch new models with better features to capitalize on the fact that people buy new cameras for the Olympic events when they go there, and since this time Olympics are gonna be in JAPAN itself, where most of these companies are based, its no brainer that they all will try to outperform each other to increase their sales and make for the losses they all have suffered due to Covid.
      However the Olympics will be in July, and if you can't wait that long, then at least its best to wait till Feb 2021 when Nikon, Panasonic and a few others are expected to release new firmware upgrades for their S5, Z6ii cameras which will make these even better for videos.
      Till then, I will continue my research on youtube and the net because this will be my very first camera and it will not be just the camera that i will be buying but the whole ecosystem , most important of which are the lenses!
      And the best ecosystem for lenses are with Sony and Canon, mostly because they have been around for so long and hence are easy and cheap to buy.
      Cant say the same for the Fuji and Panasonic, and from what rumors i have heard, Nikon is bleeding a lot of money and may not be the best ecosystem to stay in the long run.
      The best ecosystem is with Canon and Sony, but they just don't have the cameras that I need right now ! lol (A7siii and R5 are out of my budget! , R6 is just a 20mp camera).

Ibis is absolutely mind boggling and it’s body is same as S1H and with the promised updates it’ll be close to S1H. I got S1 Body+ 24-105F4+ Vlog + Extra battery for 2450$ which is quite a deal for such robust features.
