I dont get why they didn't give us the rear screen mobility of the s1h and instead used the inferior flip out only screen. what's it cost like an extra 5$?
Is there a way to reduce the latency down to acceptable levels? I've heard about turning off audio over HDMI but the reduction isn't enough. Would it help to reduce the output resolution? Is that even possible? Is it a hardware issue? If so, could it be fixed by replacing a component?
@@kevinforget549 The flip-out screen is great because it allows you to mount a V-lock battery on your rig without blocking it. You can then use the flip-out screen to navigate menus while you use an external monitor to film with. A 3-inch monitor is way too small to film with anyway. They just need to fix the HDMI latency issue.
@@bjarkisteinnpetursson9736 the only other way to further reduce latency is to increase framerate. you can film at 48 fps and do a 2:1 pulldown and it will look the same as if filmed at 24p.
Many thanks for your detailed hands-on! I own the original S5 and recently bought a Lumix S5 II and S5 IIx. Unfortunately I had to return both units, because they had exactly the same audio issue: If you connect an external microphone via the jack audio input, there is a high frequency pulsating sound that doubles its frequency when you switch the frame rate from 25p to 50p. This annoying sound can only be heard very quietly, but it is disturbing in quiet passages during interviews, for example. And yes, it does not go away as soon as you hit record. This is a step by step guide to reproduce the problem: 1. Set the camera to movie mode in a quiet room 2. Connect an external microphone to the Mic-Port (if it is a battery powered device, you can leave it switched off) 3. In the audio menu, set the „Sound Rec Gain Level“ to „Low“ (in „Standard“ the issue is less pronounced) 4. Set the Audio Level to Zero or + dB to emphasize the issue 5. Put your low impedance headphones on (e.g. EarPods) and note a pulsing high pitched interference sound 6. Press the lens lock/unlock button to make the sound disappear for some seconds 7. Toggle the Movie Recording Options from 25p to 50p to double the speed of the pulsing sound 8. Switch the dial “Movie Mode“ to Manual "M“ to hear the sound change it’s frequency Please note: This interference do not occur using the onboard mics or the DMW-XLR1 unit.
I'm really excited for Panasonic now; Now that PDAF is solid and Dual Gain ISO is available, their next Cinema Camera (BS1H II) is going to be amazing! I might have to switch again!
Me too. Now that Panasonic is starting to clear the autofocus hurdle, I feel like the slow readout is one of the last remaining obstacles. If it gets a faster readout, the S1H II would be very close to my dream hybrid camera. I would upgrade from my S1 ASAP.

Thanks for such a detailed explanation into the All-I and LongGOP formats as well as the streaming options. Your the first UA-camr to specifically talk about these things in such clarity with the S5 IIX. Definitely on my buy list
I've had mine for a little over a year. Great camera. I use it for run n gun travel videos. Stabilization is perfect. I shoot everything exclusively handheld, I don't carry any stabilizers or a tripod with me. I combined my S5IIx into a rig with Blackmagic VideoAssist and SmallRig V-mount batteries. A real small cinema camera. BRAW is wonderful to work with in DaVinci.
Very tempting. I shoot the old S5 into the Ninja V, so I already get Full Frame 5.9k RAW Prores 422 at 12 bit. The image is poetry. I shoot narrative film and don't use AF so while PD AF is a fabulous new offering from Panasonic, it does not affect me. The internal codecs and improved IBIS could provide some redundancy for the Ninja and the Ronan Gimbal and that is always welcome, so I am still deliberating. I started out on the old Panasonic DVX 100A, so what I already get out of the old S5 is already mind blowing. What I would really like to see is better handling of rolling shutter, (global shutter full frame???) but I am not complaining. I might have complained if I had bough the S5II and realized I had to pay extra fro RAW while the older model came with RAW on board, or that the S5IIX was going to arrive so soon after as a much better deal.
Great camera. I combined my S5IIx into a rig with Blackmagic VideoAssist and SmallRig V-mount batteries. A real small cinema camera. BRAW is wonderful to work with in DaVinci.
Great overview thank you. I don’t mind the blacked out branding in front but on the buttons is a bit mad. Tipp-ex time! We need much better rolling shutter and UHD 50fps Full Frame, like the A7SIII. Without those it’s not as compelling an upgrade from my S1H. Great for a first time Panny user though. Bring on the S2H!
I'm so excited to see what the update to the S1H brings too! But yeah, for the price, this is ALOT of camera for the money. Thanks for watching/commenting Oli! Jake
besides phas detect autofocus, this is the same sensor and performance as s1h, plus a less-quality body, worse viewfinder and screen flip mech, so wait for s1h ii as s5ii is giving u the s1h-spec with great price tage, s1hii will be the next gen flagship
I've noticed that panasonic cameras consistently have darker blacks on Prores files. Likely a little less DR. If you relook at the test shots for sharpness, the difference really wouldn't be that strong in the 6k h265 vs 5.8k prores if the 6k simply had contrast added to match. I don't believe the prores is actually much sharper looking at the font. Just darker.
I would be interested if they used C-Fast type B like the GH6. It’s disappointing that everything useful needs an external SSD, because that USB C port is so damn useful for keeping a charge in the camera during long event shoot days
Your footage looks great, even on youtube. We got exactly what was announced with S5II's release, but I'm torn between this camera and the (still unannounced) successor to S1H as I prefer the look of 60fps footage whenever possible (I'm an amateur). One could argue that I could buy now and upgrade later, but it's a hassle I'd gladly skip.
It’s not possible for the S5ii or S5iix and not because Panasonic doesn’t want you to have it, and is software blocking it, but rather that the sensor readout speed is not high enough to facilitate full frame downsampled 4k with no crop at anything higher than 30p
even the sony a7iv cant do 4k 60p without crop. the only camera in this range that can do 4k 60p without crop and oversampled from 6k, is the canon r6ii. even the canon r8 at $1500 also with same sensor can do 4k60p without crop.
@@thebramputra The Sony doesn' have 4k 60p w/out a crop. Sure you could get the R6ii, but you would loose out on a lot (!) of professional video tools (eg. Waveform, spot metering, codecs, ...)
what we really need is something like a Panasonic version of the Nikon z8. 8k 60 stacked sensor with a 14 ms readout speed or 4.6 ms line skipped 4k and internal raw and prores, do away with the crops, the slow readout speeds, and external raw to give us a clean setup in a powerhouse of a camera. hopefully that will be the new S1H2.
Thanks guys for the video! Have you considered the idea of doing a deep review of the DJI ronin 4D with the flex module? I'm considering of buying it from your store but there's no tecnical review of the sensor, colors, how the d-log works and the functionality of the flex module. I saw a lot of reviews and videos but they are all very "general user experience". Love the channel
Thanks for watching and yes we should be at some point, we've been waiting for the 8K version to hit the market, so fingers crossed it does soon and we can get something out there! Jake
Great video! Excellent information as usual. If you were on this side of the pond (US), I’d buy gear directly from you! Any chance of getting a detailed BTS of your coffee shop shoot? Lenses, settings, lighting & grade? The quality is outstanding and making me think of jumping from Sony.
You can get 8TB Gen4 SSD for as little as 170 USD (not a typo) now a days, grab an external case for around 20 USD and say bye to SD cards. Also, someone should release a RAID 1 version of the external enclosure for redundancy backup, professional filmmaker would very much like that.
Gerald Undone mentioned that the AF in the S5 II whilst using the HDMI lost some of its subject detection. Apparently, this is not a problem in the S5 IIX, but I'm wondering if Panasonic might fix the issue in the S5 II with the paid upgrade, or potentially in a firmware update. I'm eager to hear any information you guys might know. If the issue is fixed, I'd happily stick with my S5 II and a paid upgrade.
Seems like a great camera, but I'm not a fan of the blackout branding. It's fine on the logos, but not on the buttons, I like being able to see my settings clearly and quickly. Wish they had gone with red if they wanted a different color
Excellent video. I've really been impressed with all of the videos I've seen of the S5iix. It's definitely a game changer. My question is, if I wanted to adapt Canon EF lenses which adapter would you recommend? Thanks in advance.
Hi there, great review. You mention things, that the vast majority of the other reviews don't have on the screen. You have some really useful overview-tabels. Would it be possible to publish the links or pdf in the shownotes? Would be awesome. Thanks!!!
Thanks for another great review folks. Any suggestions on preventing moiré on the S5 range?! I get it sometimes when shooting architecture, clothing (denim jeans!) or even upholstery/furniture. Have tried mist filters... Meanwhile, looking forward to the ALL-I at 4K and 1080p higher frame rates. Been shooting ProRes Raw 4K 50p recently (S5 + Ninja to get better than 10-bit 420), but ALL-I 4K 50p 10-bit 422 would be plenty good enough and ProRes Raw just too much data! :P
This will be my first lumix camera, and hopefully a good addition to my Varicam family. Thanks for the review. Answered a lot of questions. I’d Would love to see what kind of image this camera can render w Zeiss Otus lenses 🔪 👀
2:14, i dont understand that chart, you cant use the whole sensor on higher resolutions than 1080p? Why is APS-C in front of higher resolutions, even in 24fps we will have a cropped APS-C format??
Thanks for this great review! Just wondering what would happen if you use a EF lens with IS and turn it on? On the GH5 if I adapt a EF with IS you can only have either body or lens IS. They don't work both at the same time. Thanks again
The big question I have is can you stream rtsp/rtmp locally to OBS on a laptop over ad hoc wifi from multiple s5iix's for easy wireless multicam monitoring with no extra hardware? Frankly the only thing added that seems useful is the streaming and the only thing it seems useful for would be using the wireless video feed on a local network. Streaming wired HDMI via phones or laptops and a $10 dongle is so trivial these days the streaming capabilities otherwise seem fairly pointless and the massive prores and intra formats seem like a somewhat poor fit with such an inexpensive camera with a fairly old sensor. Anyone with the budget to handle massive files will probably look to other cameras that don't record over a flimsy USB cable, and in practice the intra files never seem worth it for 4x larger files with no noticeable quality improvement in practice. Proresraw and braw both seem somewhat software-limited and praw is so huge and doesn't offer that much benefit for cameras that record with dynamic range and noise that fits quite well in a 10b log container anyway.
i have the S52X. 50 FPS Fullframe is not possible, only in APS-C. I hate this so much, if I had known that before purchasing, I wouldn't have bought it.
Is there a way to reduce the latency down to acceptable levels? I've heard about turning off audio over HDMI but the reduction isn't enough. Would it help to reduce the output resolution? Is that even possible? Is it a hardware issue? If so, could it be fixed by replacing a component? I really want to buy this camera but the HDMI latency is an absolute dealbreaker for me as I always use an external monitor, never rely on autofocus and often have a 1st AC pulling focus.
Be careful with the All-intra recording. It doesn't always mean better quality, as the compression less efficient that long-GOP. I guess the All-i files will always be easier to read, but the quality of an H265 long-gop recording is way better than the one of a Prores All-i with the same bitrate.
@@nigerian-nightmare a7s3 will be 4yo this year, it can do 4k120 no crop. Why Panasonic guys cant include this feature tho? My fav cam is Lumix S1, so we need the S1m2 with 4k180 :)
Maybe cos the price, at 2k usd none full frame camera that can do 4K 120 (I think) so probably they are reserving that feature to more expensive model like the s1 :p
the a74 has a crop at 4k60 as well. In order for them to bring down the cost of the camera they need to use an affordable sensor. its a limitation of the sensors read out speed. The rolling shutter is about 21ms when recording 4k FF. When filming in 24fps each frame lasts for 41.664ms (Milliseconds) If were to film at 48fps each frame would last for 20.832ms. With a rolling shutter of over 21ms it is not possible for this sensor to film at high frame rates without a crop. There is nothing they can do about the 4k60 crop through firmware, however I do hope they are able to at least reduce the crop in 48/50fps modes to a 1.2X crop.
one thing I hate about my s5 is that it doesn't down convert 4k signal to 1080p so I can't use a lot of cheaper monitors and transmitters, even the GH5 has that feature. Is it avaiable on the s5ii and s5iix?
Will the braw files from this cam match the blackmagic footage from bm cameras (6kpro & ursa g2)? I already have a 6k pro but looking at picking up one of these to pair with it for times where I need autofocus.
Yeahhh for most people I would buy the S5ii over the S5iix the thing is I got mine cheaper than S5ii due it being on sale briefly here. But lot of the video modes can't be recorded in a regular SD card and needs an SSD.
Hey man - I’m wondering what your thoughts are on this camera in comparison to the C70…I found a c70 bundle for $4200. C70 worth the extra, or is the S5iix capable enough for the $2k less? Looking to do short films and client work.
@@michaelbell75 c70 bundle didn’t come with any lenses, just batteries cage and EF to rf. I was thinking of pairing with sigma art f/1.8 but worry the Panasonic will be close enough and cheaper in image quality plus full frame. Thoughts?
@@michaelbell75 why specifically? S5iix full Dean with external ssd support and external raw support and more codecs. Devils advocate here but for about half the price, why still choose super 35 c70?
they really need to include some kind of SSD bracket in the box if they're really touting the external prores function. Pretty lame too that Panasonic is again charging for arbitrary firmware locked features like Prores RAW. The original S5 already came with it on board and it was one of its main value propositions.
I think the big difference between the two is the usability and tools available when shooting video, the S5II X is much better in this regard! The IBIS is also incredible in the S5IIX which will be good for run n gun work like Weddings. Jake

Thanks for this great review! Just wondering what would happen if you use a EF lens with IS and turn it on? On the GH5 if I adapt a EF with IS you can only have either body or lens IS. They don't work both at the same time. Thanks again
The big question I have is can you stream rtsp/rtmp locally to OBS on a laptop over ad hoc wifi from multiple s5iix's for easy wireless multicam monitoring with no extra hardware? Frankly the only thing added that seems useful is the streaming and the only thing it seems useful for would be using the wireless video feed on a local network.
Streaming wired HDMI via phones or laptops and a $10 dongle is so trivial these days the streaming capabilities otherwise seem fairly pointless and the massive prores and intra formats seem like a somewhat poor fit with such an inexpensive camera with a fairly old sensor. Anyone with the budget to handle massive files will probably look to other cameras that don't record over a flimsy USB cable, and in practice the intra files never seem worth it for 4x larger files with no noticeable quality improvement in practice. Proresraw and braw both seem somewhat software-limited and praw is so huge and doesn't offer that much benefit for cameras that record with dynamic range and noise that fits quite well in a 10b log container anyway.
ROTFLMFAO right slick
SF IIX or FX30? 🤔
Really? If you value extended firmware support, much better built, better sensor and video specs to work with, there is only one choice: 5IIx
i have the S52X. 50 FPS Fullframe is not possible, only in APS-C. I hate this so much, if I had known that before purchasing, I wouldn't have bought it.
the new g9 mark 2 will have prores kinda weird the s5 mark 2 doesn't have it
Saved $200... bought a black sharpie instead.
I’m sure you heard this before Sony fx 3 or this ? (LUMIX s5iiX) 😅
Good Day, I am interested in the name of the SSD enclosure
Was these videos shot before color grading?
Why didn't they include a low pass filter 😢
when do you think we will see cameras that can record in av1 encoding? would be great to get the image improvements with the same datarates as x265
I thought it can record raw to an ssd, but I guess I want too much for the price
Afraid not :( Jake
How good is the auto-focus on this camera now?
Yikes, I got mine for $3000AUD, which is like £1600, why is camera so much more expensive in UK??
panasonic always looks a bit too warm and with some magenta. im sure one can grade this out.
So sad the condor blue handle uses Sandisk SSDs of all options available. I bet they are quite annoyed about the whole Sandisk scandal...
Is there a way to reduce the latency down to acceptable levels? I've heard about turning off audio over HDMI but the reduction isn't enough. Would it help to reduce the output resolution? Is that even possible? Is it a hardware issue? If so, could it be fixed by replacing a component?
I really want to buy this camera but the HDMI latency is an absolute dealbreaker for me as I always use an external monitor, never rely on autofocus and often have a 1st AC pulling focus.
Does this camera have real time eye autofocus... For video...????
Yes it does. Jake

@@CVPTV thx
Disappointed there’s no FF 4:3 in ProRes or All Intra! 🤦🏻♂️
Be careful with the All-intra recording. It doesn't always mean better quality, as the compression less efficient that long-GOP. I guess the All-i files will always be easier to read, but the quality of an H265 long-gop recording is way better than the one of a Prores All-i with the same bitrate.
Uhm no.
@@RubenStuveling ok
if shooting BRAW only with manual lens, using a blackmagic video assist in 4K Dci... is there an advantage of the S5 Iix vs the regular S1 ?
Why the heck can't they make it record 4k120 with no crop? Would be perfect. Same frame rates as previous generation, sigh
It can't even do 4k60 without crop. 4k120 is asking for much.
@@nigerian-nightmare a7s3 will be 4yo this year, it can do 4k120 no crop. Why Panasonic guys cant include this feature tho? My fav cam is Lumix S1, so we need the S1m2 with 4k180 :)
@@TonyLaPron because the a7s3 is a 12mp camera and this one is 24mp and costs a thousand dollars less.
Maybe cos the price, at 2k usd none full frame camera that can do 4K 120 (I think) so probably they are reserving that feature to more expensive model like the s1 :p
the a74 has a crop at 4k60 as well. In order for them to bring down the cost of the camera they need to use an affordable sensor. its a limitation of the sensors read out speed. The rolling shutter is about 21ms when recording 4k FF. When filming in 24fps each frame lasts for 41.664ms (Milliseconds) If were to film at 48fps each frame would last for 20.832ms. With a rolling shutter of over 21ms it is not possible for this sensor to film at high frame rates without a crop. There is nothing they can do about the 4k60 crop through firmware, however I do hope they are able to at least reduce the crop in 48/50fps modes to a 1.2X crop.
what lenses did you use for the coffee house shoot?
one thing I hate about my s5 is that it doesn't down convert 4k signal to 1080p so I can't use a lot of cheaper monitors and transmitters, even the GH5 has that feature. Is it avaiable on the s5ii and s5iix?
can i use a usb c hub so that i can charge with power delivery and also use an external usb drive?
Nice
Rolling shutter performance?
Will the braw files from this cam match the blackmagic footage from bm cameras (6kpro & ursa g2)? I already have a 6k pro but looking at picking up one of these to pair with it for times where I need autofocus.
Bro you look like indian bollywood actor hrithik Roshan ❤😂
How muchs sharp is the HD 180fps and is there an option for 120fps but with more resolution?
Now put the AF in the micro four thirds cameras ffs
Yeahhh for most people I would buy the S5ii over the S5iix the thing is I got mine cheaper than S5ii due it being on sale briefly here. But lot of the video modes can't be recorded in a regular SD card and needs an SSD.
Wtf is “crop” on 60/120fps for ex
Hey man - I’m wondering what your thoughts are on this camera in comparison to the C70…I found a c70 bundle for $4200. C70 worth the extra, or is the S5iix capable enough for the $2k less? Looking to do short films and client work.
Get the C70. The fast Leica primes you would want to shoot with this are more than the C70 bundle.
@@michaelbell75 c70 bundle didn’t come with any lenses, just batteries cage and EF to rf. I was thinking of pairing with sigma art f/1.8 but worry the Panasonic will be close enough and cheaper in image quality plus full frame. Thoughts?
@@philrodfilms If my main focus was video, I would take the cinema camera every time.
@@michaelbell75 why specifically? S5iix full Dean with external ssd support and external raw support and more codecs. Devils advocate here but for about half the price, why still choose super 35 c70?
I wish for a Sony version of this camera🥹
Does it has digital zoom?
Can I record in 8 bit 4k on the Panasonic S5 Mark ii x as I would like to do long form interviews in 8 bit
At 4:48 what website is that from? Does it show other recording codecs too for other cameras?
Great video btw
How's autofocus on this camera?
s5 mark 2 does have prores?
What camera do you use for youtube?
This is a mix of Panasonic S5 II, S5 IIX and RED KOMODO. Jake
Panasonic s5 2x vs bmpcc 6k pro ?
Does it have TC In?
Can it do no crop in 4k60 with ssd?
Is it possible to charge the camera and Record to SSD at the same time?
no. you can but wiht a dummy battery.
they really need to include some kind of SSD bracket in the box if they're really touting the external prores function. Pretty lame too that Panasonic is again charging for arbitrary firmware locked features like Prores RAW. The original S5 already came with it on board and it was one of its main value propositions.
so buy a Sony and never get updates
is this better then the xh2s for video? i do weddings and realesate
I think the big difference between the two is the usability and tools available when shooting video, the S5II X is much better in this regard! The IBIS is also incredible in the S5IIX which will be good for run n gun work like Weddings. Jake
does it still lose pdaf at 1080 50?
So you can't record BRAW directly to an SDD?
No, only to an external Blackmagic Video Assist. Jake
@@CVPTV OK thanks Jake. Still getting the camera but now have to think about rigging it out more.
