Bro I have seen countless reviews for this camera but the features that you have mentioned in this video have not been discussed by any other channels. This proves what a HYBRID beast this is. Thank you for the review! I was considering sony APSC but S5|| features are amazing for both video and photo.
I like the tip about focusing on a color or something like that - it can definitely be overwhelming otherwise. Killer images and I love the colour tones you're getting on the preset! Definitely buying that asap!
It's also great fun to give yourself a limitation; it makes you approach the whole thing differently! I try to do this every time I go out just as a bit of a mental warm-up✌🏼 Appreciate you dude!
It never dawned on me to look for light rather than subjects. I'm not super heavily into street photography but that might have been influenced by that wrong mindset. Usually they looked a little flat (both from my S5ii and G9). I think this might be why. Should hold me in good stead for a trip to Japan I'm doing new year. Great advice, thanks! And that LUT of yours suits the LA backdrop almost perfectly.
XPan is so cool - the great thing too is that if you shoot JPG and RAW, then you'll still also have the full 3x2 file just in case you decide you're not feeling that widescreen look anymore✌🏼
Love this mate! Some great suggestions to get me inspired to shoot. Looking at adding the Panny 35mm 1.8 to the kit and this has helped with my decision!
Good to see you made it out to the Santa Monica area, great place for video and photos. If you ever make it to Nor Cal check out Lake Tahoe, I just posted a anamorphic video I filmed with the X, it's beautiful there.
I was born in LA and lived and shot there for most of my life. Looking at your photos was like a trip through memory lane; even now I can tell exactly where you were when you shot them. I have little to add to your excellent advice except for one thing: be willing to document the streets as they are. For example, LA is a car-focused city, so you will rarely see crowds of pedestrians as you would in NYC. San Francisco is known for its hills. Philly is known for its row houses and murals, and so on. As your own examples demonstrate, it's about being more excited about what you do see than what you don't.
Great video as always. When out taking pictures i often make sure to get different angels. I have the 3 pic rule if poss. I will take 3 pictures of the subject at different angles. Of course if the its car or moving subject i just take a single picture but will take 3 pictures of 3 different cars from 3 different angles.
@@JoshCameron definitely - far too long! I'm heading out before the end of the year though, dusting off ye ol' street photography cobwebs. Your photos from LA are insane by the way.
I have a question. What color profile do you use for your photos? Personally I shoot with log to get the widest dynamic range, but when I open my photos in lightroom classic they are underexposed whereas they were superb on my lumix s5. I read on the internet that this could be due to the color profile. Have you ever encountered this problem? What color profile do you use for your lut? Thank you for video !!!
I'm interested in how the stabilization works with vintage manual lenses, for photo and video. I have a collection of old manual lenses and the IBIS is key to manual focusing long lenses and for get usable videos with manual lenses. It could be a good idea for a video.
@@JoshCameron no one in particular. But could be interesting to try from wide to telephoto. A 28mm, something between 50 - 60mm, and a long portrait like the Nikon 180mm f2.8 or other. The longer the lens, more difficult to focus manually, even on tripod, because the trepidation. Just try what you have in hand, vintage or something new, like manual chinese lenses.
Works like a charm! Been using a bunch of different vintage lenses vut ever since I tried the 70-210canon fd, it just lives on my S5II. Defenitly looking forward to see more content of old lenses on the s5ii (x)
It's simply because the camera has one less step to do before actuating the shutter. When in manual mode, the camera only needs to close the shutter, but with autofocus switched on, it needs to acquire focus, and then close the shutter. So, depending on the scene you're photographing, it could take a bit longer for the shutter to actuate depending on how challenging it is for the camera to grab focus. Hope this helps!
Where has been your favourite place to do street photography? Let me know! I'm looking for trip ideas😂
Barcelona I quite liked to photograph

Austin TX is a great walkable city with tons of street art, nature, oddities and cool architecture!! You have to check it out one day!
New York City is an amazing place for street photography, day or night
New York City. My home town.
I got the s5ii with 24-105 lens last Saturday I love it

awesome photos Josh!!!
I learned from the best! Thanks for being my tripod🤣
Ouhhh very nice man, LOVE the XPan stuff you shot - I gotta have a go with that

That's awesome! Where are you based now? Would love to see some of the shots you got during your time in LA to see how a local does it!
Bro you and Emily have the best grades on your photos! Presets?
I spoke to soon. I need to go pick this preset up now
Ah thanks dude! Appreciate it!
Those images were crisp bro! Solid advice 🫡
Great video as always. When out taking pictures i often make sure to get different angels. I have the 3 pic rule if poss. I will take 3 pictures of the subject at different angles.

Yayyyy another video

Thanks dude! Haha the hoody is cool right? They need to make them available to purchase!
My favourite content from you 🙌
Next year we have to start doing some photo walks again mate, it's been too long!

These shots looking spicy 🥵🌶️
Great Breakdown 🎉
Thanks mate!
I like that hoodie, where did you get it from?
love your work bro! what lenses were you using for the night carnival stuff?
Thanks Andrew! Appreciate it! If I remember correctly, I was only using the 28-70 F2.8 from Sigma :)
@@JoshCameron Thanks for that!

On S1H and S5II IBIS perform even better with Vintage lenses. Maybe because you must set focal lenght manually.
Where did you get the lumix hoodie?
Which aspect ratio do I need for Instagram please
Hey Josh, I have a question. My s5ii shutter goes off so much faster when I'm in manual focus than when using autofocus. Is there a reason for this?
It's simply because the camera has one less step to do before actuating the shutter. When in manual mode, the camera only needs to close the shutter, but with autofocus switched on, it needs to acquire focus, and then close the shutter.
