Thanks for watching and being apart of my creative journey. Doing this job, being able to support my family, and have access to creative tools like this is all thanks to y'all watching these videos.
Intermixing brands is the way. Everyone wants every system to do everything. Meanwhile, each system has major strengths which can slot into individual use cases. Once you start treating them as more specific tools, things really come together imo.
Long time follower/subscriber here. Been really hoping to see you do some of your dope street photo walks using/trying out the Lumix S5 series every since that 1 brief video you did trying out the Live View Composite feature with the original Lumix S5. Please consider giving the S5ii(x) some photo shine now that you actually own it, since there's not really any well established dope photographers showing how good of a photo camera the S5ii(x) really is, here on UA-cam. Looking forward to more content as usual though. 👍
I'm just about to pull the trigger on getting the Lumix S5iiX. Definitely more for the video side. The photos that Lumix can take is a huge plus since my Bmpcc4k is a video only camera. Great video Evan 🙏🏽
The intro is the second video I've seen with a baked-in transcript. What is the benefit of doing this? Has there been some sort of "best practices" message that promoted this?
I’ve shot Sony, Canon, Fuji , Leica and I love them all for different reasons. I wanted a Q3 but tried my friends and the photos are awesome but I didn’t like the way the camera operates so I bought an A7cii. I now have something similar to what I use for my pro work (A1 and A7iv) I also bought an M11 because ooooo Leica which was fun but it wasn’t for me. If I’m shooting with manual focus I rather just use a film camera for that Leica rangefinder experience. I kept my Leica MP and it’s the only Leica camera I use now . Everything I use professionally is Sony and I’m definitely happy!! 👏👏👏 it’s cool to see you switched not because I’m Anti Leica( I’m Not anti any brand ) but because you completely understand that they are so similar and getting the same result but saving thousands is a good feeling haha
Great video Evan. I am curious as I'm in the same boat, how do you stay motivated, creative and honesty awake with a toddler? lol. I have an 11 week old so I definitely hear you on the sleep deprivation - I'm trying to keep creative and motivated but sometimes I am exhausted.
Awesome work man, nice to see you giving other brands the spotlight and panasonic is doing some amazing work recently. Question, do you still use the Oppo? I would love to see more content made from it, the last video was dope, made me wanna buy one
Cool video- I have a lot of the same setup- however I went with the nikon zf, although I shoot 99 percent Leica. Sort of a not very smart decision considering the lenses, however for video work the ibis is amazing and the pre focus function got me. Let me know if you want to trade bodies to try out / review!
It was honestly about time before another change came for the new season. I feel like I happens towards the end of the year, mainly the last 4 months. Awesome discuss as usual, Evan. Can't wait to see what's next honestly. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Definitely! The last few months I’ve really started to find my rhythm of how to make videos I enjoy that are also relevant, while still creating opportunities for me to do photography. Thanks for the support and for watching!
I was even thinking about switching my whole setup from Leica SL2 to Lumix S5II. However, when I thought about it, the loss of 47 megapixel files is kinda weird, because I do a lot of crop in when I edit my photos. Thought about it using it as my B camera but that would be too much. Now after watching your video, I think I will just wait out until the Leica SL3 with the better phase detect auto focus to come out.
Like you I switched from Leica to Panasonic when it comes to L mount. (I kept all my M stuff). I went from SL2S to S5IIx. The phase detect AF and it being lighter is what did it for me. As for you I can see why you switched. All makes sense. And you don’t need new lenses to switch. Keep up the great videos Ev. Congrats on becoming a dad!
I’ve been shooting video with my Lumix GH5s for nearly 5 years now and it gives some of the best footage for the relatively inexpensive (comparatively) price point in my opinion. Love the v-log and ALL-I for color correction. Great video!
Had a Lumix in 2003. At the time is was the best digital camera out there. I thought about getting another but I want to stick to one type (I hardly touch my Fuji and am considering selling it) Recently pre ordered the Nikon ZF but I cancelled it.
Leicas are fun until your camera disappears for months (literally) at a time for maintenance, repairs, etc to Germany. Love the cameras and lenses but I need my tools, as do other photographers do, and can’t do without them for a quarter of the year and longer.
Great video- I went with the zf over the Panasonic. I shoot with m, sl2 and a q2r. But needed something with more video function. The ibis, pre focus and design got me in for a a zf. Probably not the smartest decision but fairly happy so fair with image quality, build quality. I just couldn’t get behind the confusing nature of the Panasonic.
@@505NP I think coming from cameras that all offer a more tactile experience has skewed my perspective. Even the z8 seems more dslr like than the zf. I guess cameras that don’t offer a tactile experience are just not appealing to me anymore.
Gosh , it's a shame how much the Leica has worn ! , £5,000 camera too , it's worn pretty bad , I hope that you can replace it with something that will last longer ?.
@@ForTheViolence I'd feel more inspired with that money in my pocket, personally. But if you have money to spare, I'd gladly take it to inspire you too! Lol.

Great one mate. Stoked to see you dive deeper into filmmaking, and your grade on this was top notch. Also that fall HAD to hurt 😬
Great. Nothing can beat Panasonic Lumix as far as quality matters. Proud user of Lumix cameras since 2009. Never looked back!
I do not see a color diff with my s5IIx vs the leica. I wish I new that before buying
The exact camera I'm thinking of upgrading to. Now I feel confident
Man your colour grading at your videos is just on point. And they are sharp too

Leica colour for photography is exceptional

Narcissism Overcome! Breaking the Leica Light Barrier! Keep on the Path with your new Lumix s5iiX. 😎😎
I tried M lens on S5m2x all day long today, and I'll never do it again. Disappointing results.
I'm just about to pull the trigger on getting the Lumix S5iiX. Definitely more for the video side. The photos that Lumix can take is a huge plus since my Bmpcc4k is a video only camera. Great video Evan 🙏🏽
I still have to play with the photo stuff but for video things exactly what I’ve been waiting for!
New Balance HQ is right down the street from my home. Also my family is some how related to the owner from back in the day.

Coming from a s5iix shooter Iam really tempted to get an sl2 because of the 4k 60 no crop 🤔

Are you slapping Leica L glass on that s5iix? Shooting with the s5ii currently

Great video! Lets get a photo session in!
The S5 line is awesome, good choice.

Man I’d love some more street photography!! Keep up the killer content!

The Lumix s5iiX is such a great camera!
I’m extremely impressed! Loved how the intro for this video came out!

Thank you! And yeah the l mount was a big factor for me also, I can’t wait to use my 35 summicron more on this camera 🙌
2:07 Leica SL2 and Lumix S5IIx... There is only a difference of 1 letter
I’ve been shooting video with my Lumix GH5s for nearly 5 years now and it gives some of the best footage for the relatively inexpensive (comparatively) price point in my opinion. Love the v-log and ALL-I for color correction. Great video!
I tested that camera last year working with lumix and I really liked it! That’s what made me confident to go with this s5 variation!
I really like your honesty - to audience and yourself. And Lumix - is great, I love them since GH5 :) And yes - to color grade vlog is easy ;)
Had a Lumix in 2003. At the time is was the best digital camera out there. I thought about getting another but I want to stick to one type (I hardly touch my Fuji and am considering selling it) Recently pre ordered the Nikon ZF but I cancelled it.
Where do you get your prints done?! I love them and can’t seem to find a place that does them like yours.
ACI is one of the places I use!
It’s crazy that I was thinking after the last video, why switch to Nikon when Lumix exists
Omg I have ordered the exact same lumix for the exact same reason 😂
About time you switch 😂
0:07 New Balance game on point!
Congrats on becoming a dad!
Thanks! Haha slowly figuring it out!
You made the switch! So sick!

Does Lumix have a camera that can replace convince of Leica Q series?
Great Video
Great video- I went with the zf over the Panasonic. I shoot with m, sl2 and a q2r. But needed something with more video function. The ibis, pre focus and design got me in for a a zf. Probably not the smartest decision but fairly happy so fair with image quality, build quality. I just couldn’t get behind the confusing nature of the Panasonic.
what is the confusing nature of panasonic?
@@505NP I think coming from cameras that all offer a more tactile experience has skewed my perspective. Even the z8 seems more dslr like than the zf. I guess cameras that don’t offer a tactile experience are just not appealing to me anymore.
@@D.Trider hm so the panasonic did not offer a tactile experience if I understand it correctly?
@@505NP certainly not as much of an analog feel from Leica, the Nikon zf and the Fuji x series.
fair enough@@D.Trider
Gosh , it's a shame how much the Leica has worn ! , £5,000 camera too , it's worn pretty bad , I hope that you can replace it with something that will last longer ?.
Alright so I gotta know, what shoes are those? 🔥
1:17 was CRAZY lol hope you are good
Haha thankfully I am but that could have been a bad one!
That is a very fine choice, sir !
My GFX100II had the Flog2C update and the color is WAAAAAYYYYY better
Dad life is a fun and awesome life! Blessings
Appreciate it!!
i think Q3 and SL2 exclusively for photo is redundant.
Why are you still wearing these shoes?😊
The Leica sl3 will replace both…
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Leica is meh 😑 with the price. It’s a luxury not a tool!!
Disagree. In creative spaces the enjoyment from using a tool creates inspiration. Some people can afford a Leica.
@@ForTheViolenceUm still doesn’t justify price to performance ratio
Oh the hate. Heirloom quality. Industrial design. Inspirational feel and output.
@@ImageTwoImage It's a luxury item, like an LV bag or Hermes. And it's priced and marketed as such now. That's not hate. That's reality.
@@ForTheViolence I'd feel more inspired with that money in my pocket, personally. But if you have money to spare, I'd gladly take it to inspire you too! Lol.
