Aaah this whole trip was so much fun! What would you like me to cover next? I’m thinking some “real time LUT” photo walks and a comparison with the GH6 👀
Nicely filmed Emily, and great to meet you too. Love your sample images and videos. Hah! PS - consider adding some index / chapter points for easier indexing!
Beautiful photos and wonderful review as usual with the Emily style presentation! REAL TIME LUT IS AMAZING! And it was so great meeting you in person in Japan finally!
I just bought the original S5 a few weeks ago. Couldn’t resist. You knew a new camera was being released because there was fantastic deals on the S5. I love this camera and look forward to upgrading to version two in a couple years when the price comes down like the S5 has now.
@@MicroFourNerds Glad you had fun in Japan! I've been in Japan 20+ years, traveled to all 47 prefectures but have more exploring to do. Always love your posts.
Lumix did this unveil right. They identified proper genuine influencers in-segment. Nobody who has trust problems. Flew them in. Handed out gear (for keeps, I believe?) Let them be honest. I think it's gonna work out for Lumix on this one.
Great video Emily! The pictures from Tokyo looked amazing and honestly what Panasonic did with the S5II is terrific, it’s such a capable professional camera but at a quite reasonable price. Would love to see more open gate / reframing stuff, like editing one sequence three ways with widescreen, 16:9, and vertical?
I just want to thank you for your amazing 'Open Gate' diagram and explanation. First person to walk me through it in a way my dim self could understand.
@MicroFourNerds my 2023 aim is to get my videography to half the level of my photography so it's about time I dialled in some learning. Only just discovered your channel recently and your work is fantastic. Keep it up!
Thank you for including 1080p in your video review and slo motion test. Many other channels exclude it like the plague but the reality is 1080p is a very useful format for recording video and it's usually where you get more fps but at the cost of resolution which is fine because we often deliver in 1080p for social media anyway.
Great video, so pleased Panasonic have finally gone PDAF. love the open gate thing as well, very useful for reframing. I was wondering when someone would give us a basically full sensor readout at 25fps. Amazing.
Always loved Panasonic, but did sell off all my MFT stuff to go all in with Fuji. I’ve got Nikon DSLR FF and have been looking for a FF mirrorless but AF has always concerned me. However, this camera actually seems stellar! I think it might be the one. The great LUMIX menu, FF, a true hybrid that can now equal Sony at a great price point. Glad you got out to Japan with the usual suspects - amazing for your channel and well deserved. You make great content. Your channel for sure deserves to really grow.
Nice review 🎉. I loved the photo review part of this video. Everyone else don't get as detailed on photo and focus more on video. Thanks for the video.
Great upload, Emily! Thanks for all your Lumix content...considering an upgrade from G9 and GH5ii to S5ii for low light filming as an astrophotographer, I'm usually out in the dark! Lol! Your vids were invaluable when I started in Micro 4/3 and you're continuing the great content in the full frame game too! :) Best wishes from north of the border! :)
Another great video Emily, thanks. This looks like a great upgrade. One added bonus, this and the original S5 use the same battery. No need to drag two chargers around any more.
What an amazing review and your photos and videos are the best I've seen with all of the reviews this camera. Congratulations on being a part of the launch 🥳🥳🥳
great to see you there Emily !!. Your honest and always charm and fun style is a joy to see. I'll keep an eye on this camera, but with Gh6 now are too many options!!
Wow - you got exceptionally interesting footage. And covered some different topics than others. 🥳Beautifully shots, Emily, and so nice to have met you! ❤ cheers! 🎉
Love it, Love it, Love it!! So good to watch, you are very natural. You should be a UA-camr when you grow up! I feel very privileged to see my face in it! Thank you Emily!
Thanks for the video. Excellent work. I just shot a feature film on the S5. I shot into the Ninja V so I was getting FULL FRAME, 5.9k RAW Proress 422, 12 bit at 400 Mbs. The image is poetry. Mind blowing at this price. I don't use auto focus and I don't like that they are charging for the RAW output on this S5Mk II. I just don't think I need an update. As a narrative filmmaker, who always needs a monitor (Ninja) on the camera for framing and focusing, the first S5 is all I will need, probably, for the next 5 years, and, for the price drop you will now see on the original S5, you can get a Ninja and go for the FULL FRAME, 5.9k RAW Proress 422, 12 bit at 400 Mbs.
Excellent review. Interesting about the LUT for stills, thank you for mentioning this feature. I thought your still images and video of Tokyo scenes were lovely.
Thank you for your review of the Panasonic A5ii. Please forgive me. I thought you were a micro43 photographer. So I’m surprised to see you were invited on the Panasonic junket to Tokyo. I will ignore the phase detection on the sensor. Everyone in the Panasonic community was expecting this at some point. Glad it finally arrived. I am not interested in entering the full frame world. I am satisfied with my APAC and micro 4/3 gear. I am excited at the prospect that this camera will be shrunk in the new Panasonic G9ii or G10 will look like this camera. Oh boy! LovedYour
@@MicroFourNerds OMG! I just purchase this beast. I do street photography and some video clips. I will hold you to how good the S5ii is for photography. I’m setting the menu up now. So many choices, especially for video. Too many choices as I don’t understand the differences for the video features. Bought the 50/1.8 &85/1.8 lenses. Like the body, they are small and lightweight for full frame. Why have none of the reviewers mentioned his? Regretting there is no built in stabilization in these lenses for dual stabilization. Hoping the IBIS is good enough. I’m a LUMIX M43 shooter so thank goodness the menus are familiar. I’m afraid the S5ii may be more camera than I can handle. I hope not. I love the vivid colors you get out of this body. I looked at your luts video and will struggle trying to figure out how to use this feature. My heart is also with the tiny cameras. Now I have a larger & heavier kit I’m looking forward to using it. I have my favorite two parades of the year in the next two weeks. S5ii don’t let me down. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
Hey Emily, can you verify whether the S5 ii still has the "live view composite" feature? On the original S5, that was essentially a really awesome way to use a sort of bulb mode. So far however, in regards to this camera no one has mentioned the feature in these initial reviews and I can't find any mention of it online. Fantastic review! Your production value just keeps getting better and better!
It is coming via a firmware update. I asked myself as I love that feature!! So it definitely is on the way but isn’t in the camera currently at the 1.0 firmware. Hopefully it’ll be in place before launch 🙏
You are killing these reviews, informative, outside the box usage thinking with your lovely personality and sense of humour in the driving seat. The IOM TT will soon sneak up, try the slow mo then!! On that note, I wonder how well the auto human and eye detect focus works on subjects wearing crash helmets, i’m thinking sports photography. I use the G9 when I go to BSB but use zone focus more often than not, still homing those skills, which can be a bit hit and miss, we’ll for me at least. So do you get to keep the s52 or will you buy one, would love to see more on this camera from you in future as a potential owner and L mount system belonger!! ? Thanks, the Lumix ambassadors do a great job and your amongst the top ones in my humble view. 👏
Thanks so much! Ya know, my dad has lived on the Isle of Man for nearly 20 years and I’ve NEVER been to see the TT! He always leaves the island that time because it’s so busy 😂 I really should go it would be a brilliant test for a camera. Yes I have the s5ii and shall be making many more comparison videos etc in the coming weeks 😁
@@MicroFourNerds I can understand why your dad would leave during the TT, especially if he’s not into motorbikes, the island becomes, shall we say, a parallel universe. For many the TT is a challenge morally too because of the accidents, and sadly the loss of life, I juggle with some times, just saying before you commit. However, the TT is also an amazing spectacle, it’s expensive but maybe dad will let you stay at his, if he doesn’t let his house for the two weeks already, wouldn’t blame him, quite a profit to be made there. You’re very close to the racing, the ultimate test for any camera. I’m so tempted just to take the plunge and get it, it is the first of a new phase after-all!! I’m keen to know how much of a difference the S52 makes to your wedding photography and videos, mind you your pretty ace at that anyway. 👍
Great video Emily 🙏. I'm following you from good lens collection days of MFT. You have a lot of experience with Panasonic systems I can say. In your future videos I'll love to see if you cover the following topics: *Test all the existed full frame Panasonic lenses for performance with new Panasonic S5MII phase autofocus engine in day and night environments both photo and video. *Open gate shooting style possibilities with this new camera as much of the audience like me are in search of a tool with fast social media content creation. *slow motion capabilites of this camera with phase detect with different subjects, multi subjects as create cinematic feel.This feature is available as S&Q option on dial but how it performs with new auto focus. *Live crop is my favorite, if possible please cover that topic with new phase detect. It is much used feature as save lot of time in post. What new codec it covers with it. Is 4k live crop Panasonic added with this new S5MII or still full HD? If it is still full HD please inform Panasonic research team to add 4K or 6K live cropping in S5 mark 2 with an update. I know they are listening to you. I know I've requested a lot but I'm excited my favourite system now have a phase detect autofocus. And you are the best who can explain all in detail. Thank you Emily for all the great videos 🙏.
Great video, thanx! It seems to be a great camera. I have the S5 and love their camera set up. I just struggle with panas skintones. How about making a video about this. Maybe you can show us, how to make them warmer!? Thanx
This camera is great and everything (the original S5 is still great as well), but what about MFT? The G Series specifically? I fear it's dead. Thank you for covering photography more than just an afterthought though! Most reviewers just kept talking about video.
I've noticed your photography with this camera on other videos. Seems like you really like those Lumix f1.8 primes. Would you recommend just grabbing a whole set since they're so economical? Any ones you prefer over the others?
I really love the 85mm and the 35mm. The one I’ve used least so far is the 24mm, as I find if I want something wider I may as well pick the 18mm. I think if I could pick only one I’d choose the 35mm 😊
@@MicroFourNerds thanks! I've since checked out your video on the whole set. I probably should have been subscribed so I fixed that too lol. I'm curious about that 18mm too. I'd planned on the 85 but you sold me on that 35mm 🙌
Great video, the photos from Tokyo was amazing. The camera is great I wish they include the 4k60p with no crop anyway I think is the right camera to upgrade from my gh5.
It was hard to get your video to show up in search results! Everyone else has their video titled with a space between "S5" and "ii". Just so you're aware if you're not already!
I am currently in the Philippines with my G9. I am new at shooting video, but I have recorded most of my trip on video. I need to work out what software is best to process it and how to add sound mixed in with the original sound. I won't be using the video to promote something else, but I realise I need to keep it interesting for the viewer.
Emily I’m so glad to watch your video! Would you say the s5ii’s hd120p-180p (cropped 180 is sharper i hear) is a sharp as the gh6 hd120-300fps? (Gh6 4k 120 is def sharper lol)
Great review Emily!!! just wondering if anyone has done a comparison video with the LUMIX S1H v LUMIX S5II..? would like to know how they compare? thank
Beautiful pictures :) Thanks for metioning my favorite menu function, I love it on my S1H and really miss on S1.Does camera also remember different settings in video mode and photo mode or it keeps current settings after switching mode?
Hey Emily, here’s my question. If Panasonic was to release a GH6s with the same features as the S5 mark ii x. Which one would you purchased, & why? By the way, I purchased your Everything pack. Nicely done, keep up the good work.
Brilliant thank you hope you enjoy it! That is a good question because both cameras are aimed to a slightly different purpose. The gh6 (gh6ii) honestly easily wins when it comes to high end video options. We have no crop, ever. We have 4k 120p we have the ability to record ProRes internally. It’s very video centric. The S5ii is great because it really splits down the middle and caters for photo and video. The larger sensor does perform so well at night. Because I have invested in so much m43 glass, I think the gh6ii would be the winner for me! The gh6 as it is is almost perfect!
I was thinking the same thing for myself. I own the GH5 & the GH6. So a newer GH6 mark ii would be the perfect camera. I use my GH6 only for construction photos, & videos. So autofocus is not a big deal for me, for now. But it would be nice to have the next-gen technology in this camera. Thanks for the reply.
Panasonic realized that UA-cam drive sales and that UA-camrs are not photographers. They are just people who talk to a camera so the only thing they care about is video auto focus so you can make a camera that’s mediocre as long as your video auto focus is amazing, and every single UA-camr will freak out over it. For the rest of us, what is it like as a camera?
Aaah this whole trip was so much fun! What would you like me to cover next? I’m thinking some “real time LUT” photo walks and a comparison with the GH6 👀
Real time LUTS is super fun and tbh something I’ve asked for in the way back past! I think those both sound like awesome ideas
I think it'll be interesting to compare to the GH6. I use my S5 with a GH6 now and it's a killer combo.
@@marklondon8793 filming a comparison this Friday, I’m excited to see the results myself!
L mount starter kit would be great :)
Oh oh I know - a comprehensive shutter angle explanation for newcomers
Nicely filmed Emily, and great to meet you too. Love your sample images and videos. Hah! PS - consider adding some index / chapter points for easier indexing!
Omg I knew there was something I still had to do 😂 thanks Gordon! It was so lovely to meet you too!
@@MicroFourNerds I often forget!
Beautiful photos and wonderful review as usual with the Emily style presentation! REAL TIME LUT IS AMAZING! And it was so great meeting you in person in Japan finally!
Thanks so much Richard! ☺️🙏
Emily this is such a fantastic and detailed review! I love all the real world examples and I feel the same way about IBIS!!
Thanks so much Julia! I’ve been binge watching your vids since Tokyo, you’re such an inspiration. Can’t wait to see what you create this year!
I’m loving this girl in particular… love the way she talks and organize her contents ❤
Looks like the camera the world has been waiting for.
Thank you for your videos, they are always so nice and relatable. I love nerds.
So glad they got you on this trip! Great footage. Amazing camera but as an S5 owner already I'm in no hurry to upgrade.
Those photos & B-rolls are gorgeous! Makes me want to fly out there again!! Good meeting you in Tokyo 😀
Thanks so much Kai! 😁

I bought a second S5 for $1500 with the 85 1.8. That’s $1,000 for a full frame 4k60 camera with no AA filter! What a deal!
glad you had a great time in japan!
Thanks so much Patrick!

I think it's gonna work out for Lumix on this one.
Gear for loan I believe, but they would’ve receive great discounts. I saw them get all the lenses too but it’s only a couple months loan I believe

everything is good but it doesn't have aa filter like my g85 😭
I wished they had 1.4 native lenses like a 85/35/24 primes
Hoping for a GH6II to supplement my current camera
Great review! I’m tempted to get one and slap a nice long lens on it!
real time luts and film sims should be the focus for now instead of increasing megapixel counts. That's just make everything easier.
Very good auto focus, great video as always ✌🏼

I really love the 85mm and the 35mm. The one I’ve used least so far is the 24mm, as I find if I want something wider I may as well pick the 18mm. I think if I could pick only one I’d choose the 35mm 😊
@@MicroFourNerds thanks! I've since checked out your video on the whole set. I probably should have been subscribed so I fixed that too lol. I'm curious about that 18mm too. I'd planned on the 85 but you sold me on that 35mm 🙌
hey! nicely done. ty
Great video, the photos from Tokyo was amazing. The camera is great I wish they include the 4k60p with no crop anyway I think is the right camera to upgrade from my gh5.
Yes the apsc crop is sort of the very last feature they could improve upon I think! We’re spoiled on m43 with no crop
It was hard to get your video to show up in search results! Everyone else has their video titled with a space between "S5" and "ii". Just so you're aware if you're not already!
Make camparison video Lumix gh6 vs lumix s5 mark ii
Filming that right now actually! 😁📸
I want you to do a comparison to gh6
On its way soon! 😁
I am currently in the Philippines with my G9. I am new at shooting video, but I have recorded most of my trip on video. I need to work out what software is best to process it and how to add sound mixed in with the original sound. I won't be using the video to promote something else, but I realise I need to keep it interesting for the viewer.
Emily I’m so glad to watch your video!
Would you say the s5ii’s hd120p-180p (cropped 180 is sharper i hear) is a sharp as the gh6 hd120-300fps? (Gh6 4k 120 is def sharper lol)
Great review Emily!!! just wondering if anyone has done a comparison video with the LUMIX S1H v LUMIX S5II..? would like to know how they compare? thank
Brilliant video.
Beautiful pictures :) Thanks for metioning my favorite menu function, I love it on my S1H and really miss on S1.Does camera also remember different settings in video mode and photo mode or it keeps current settings after switching mode?
Hi ! Great video as always 😊 I wondered if your camera takes a few seconds to turn on after you pushed the on/off switch ? Thanks a lot !
It does! A lot of the lumix cameras do unfortunately. It's quite annoying
@@MicroFourNerds thank you for your answer ! I almost sold it for that reason, but the IQ and color science got me hooked 😅
Hey Emily, here’s my question. If Panasonic was to release a GH6s with the same features as the S5 mark ii x. Which one would you purchased, & why?
By the way, I purchased your Everything pack. Nicely done, keep up the good work.
Brilliant thank you hope you enjoy it! That is a good question because both cameras are aimed to a slightly different purpose.
The gh6 (gh6ii) honestly easily wins when it comes to high end video options. We have no crop, ever. We have 4k 120p we have the ability to record ProRes internally. It’s very video centric.
The S5ii is great because it really splits down the middle and caters for photo and video. The larger sensor does perform so well at night.
Because I have invested in so much m43 glass, I think the gh6ii would be the winner for me! The gh6 as it is is almost perfect!
I was thinking the same thing for myself. I own the GH5 & the GH6. So a newer GH6 mark ii would be the perfect camera. I use my GH6 only for construction photos, & videos. So autofocus is not a big deal for me, for now. But it would be nice to have the next-gen technology in this camera. Thanks for the reply.
Panasonic realized that UA-cam drive sales and that UA-camrs are not photographers. They are just people who talk to a camera so the only thing they care about is video auto focus so you can make a camera that’s mediocre as long as your video auto focus is amazing, and every single UA-camr will freak out over it. For the rest of us, what is it like as a camera?
How is this FF camera smaller than the G9 and way smaller than the GH5/6?
