I prefer your "on the field" review. The last video was great: most of us cover events, news and work for small brands. Is really usefull to see the performance of this cameras and leses on those scenarios. :) I got the S5 the kit and the 50mm... i am between the 70-300 and the 70-200 f4... i think i can use the reach of the first one more than the f4
Why are you in tracking mode if your switching subjects (lens to box to wall)? Tracking is typically to track a single object they stays somewhere in the frame
There is definitely something odd going on, because I've seen tests that look nothing like your test. Here's one from Bernard Bertrand "Lumix S5II vs Sony A7 IV - Autofocus tests and stabilization", where the Sony A7 IV camera AF looks a lot slower than the S5 II camera.
What a lot of these reviews do not show is in low light situations or where there is less contrast between subjects. I noticed that with good lighting, the AF system is very quick, smooth and reliable (just like in his video). But in darker environments or where subjects have less contrast that the AF struggles.
This looks a honest AF test. Thanks for sharing!

Which Lumix lens do you think provides the best AF to the S5ii?
If you want the best auto focus, stick to Lumix S line lenses. I made a video on the 70-200 f4 lens if you want to see a comparison
What mode is “single point”? Is not an actual mode on my S5II, what Framerate and resolution are you using?
Correction! I meant 1-area (I was a Fuji user before and it was called single point). I shot the video in 4K, 24fps
Is this only for the particular lens?
I did a review with the kit lens (20-60mm) and it tended to do the same. I think it’s an af issue at this point with the camera

Check out this video where he films in low light. You can see some instances when the AF hunts a bit
