Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 січ 2023
- Lumix S5 II is Panasonic's first camera with Phase detection autofocus, which takes future Lumix cameras to a new level. In this video we take a look at the features, how they perform, what I do and don't like and also how Lumix S5 mark 2 compares to Sony A7IV.

This camera is objectively a better video camera than the A74 and its cheaper too. The AF might not be as good but it will improve with updates. Almost all other specs are either on par with the a74 or just plain better (like ibis, exposure tools, resolution options, & other menu options). I'm a Sony user and don't plan on switching due to the amount of sony lenses I already own. But pound for pound this camera is really good at that price.
I'm using a6500 looking to upgrade and the lumix is seriously very tempting
agreed.....the S5iix is what the a7IV should have been. a7iv was overpriced for sure. They should have kept it at 2000. But the pandemic scared them into raising it I think.
@@cweb1988 hopefully Sony will bring the price down when the S5ii becomes available to the public
@@LMPS5 It's worth it. I have the original S5. The colors are so natural and easy to work with and the ergonomics are great too. Plus it's built like a tank for a camera of its size.
Only problem is that you lose PDAF when you are shooting in slow motion for certain resolutions ... it ends up switching back to the contrast focus, which we all hate ... oh and 4k slow motion footage is cropped ...
Ooooh this a solid vid! Great to finally meet you BTW! 🤟
Thank you kind sir, I loved your video too! And so nice to meet you too!
❤
Faruk... you're editing, and the music selection on this one is top-tier. Also I love the documentation of our amazing trip! So much fun to see you and hang out in Tokyo! Great work on this!
Thank you so much for your kind words Dave, It was so nice to hang out with you too! What an unforgettable trip this was!
@@iPhonedo Absolutely man! Hopefully, we can go back again soon! :)
As an A7IV shooter, I am impressed with how good the S5II is, and it’s their first gen PDAF. I see no compelling reason to go back to LUMIX, but for someone looking for a competent hybrid shooter, this seems to be well worth a hard look.
Id still go for the A74, the AF wasn't good enough on the S5
@Emotion Air they'll definitely get better but it will take time. Nikon got there with the Z9 but that took years to get up to speed. I think were Panasonic got the lead in ibis Sony are now catching up, the A7R5 stabalisation is very good. You wonder how much they all can keep improving
That was a great spin transition between your home and Japan! I enjoyed it so much I instantly rewatched it haha. Thanks for another fantastic camera breakdown!
Incredible!!?
Excellent review as always. Great breakdown.
Wow! awesome review! ....AND....... WHAT was that music in that Jordans sequence??? awesome!
Awesome review! So fun to watch. It was great meeting you in Japan. Have a great 2023
Thank you so much! It was so nice to meet you too!
Your intros are the best! Great review for a great camera.
The editing and music are top! Pleasure to watch review like this.
your editing is insane!!! that transition to Japan was awesome!
Fantastic review Faruk! Was huge fun meeting you in Japan!
I love your video too, it was so much fun to hang out with you. Hope we can do it again sometime!
How am I now knowing about this channel?? This was an excellent review, all these music choices were on point. I came here for some final convincing on if to get this camera for my needs...I should have come here first. Great story telling mate.
Imagine getting a full kit lenses and all, and they give a cheerful “yeee””
I would go bonkers , let alone the invite. Good for you , and all the nice videos you make!
Thanks for the review, and very well done Panasonic, well done. (A Sony user who wants to change to Pana for years, and now the time comes). That first monolog and the hero shots... 👌 wow
Great review. I had not realized how sophisticated these cameras had become. They are computers as much as they are cameras. BTW, you handled the trip-to-Japan disclosure very well.
As always I enjoyed your video, because I think it's an excellent detailed review and a perfect description of your experience with this new Panasonic camera. Thank you sir. 🥳👋
Excellent on Panasonic for making the S5II which has proved it's Auto Focus to be great . This was a fantastic review I enjoyed it so much
Brilliant camera and most detailed video review on the camera features. Brilliant job. Requesting to do a review on the photography capability of the camera.
Thanks and Happy New Year to you too.
I really appreciate this video
Great review 👍
Beauty. Another Faruk masterpiece. Well done, Sir.
The comments pretty much cover all my thoughts about the camera and your review except one, exceptional intro!
Very impressive for Panasonic! And another beautiful video from you!
Great review... Your the best !
nobody talks about the products shots which were are amazing, great job on that
Great video. Deciding between the S5ii and A7IV right now. Really helpful information. Thanks!
I own the a7lv and o can Tell you , it overheats. If you need to record for long period of time, watch out. Even in 4k 24p. I had to buy a cooler in order to keep shooting for more than 20 minutes
@@fred.studioninja thanks is Fred. I ended up buying the s5ii about a week ago. Loving it!
I think this is an amazing camera now, and agree that it will get better with firmware updates. Lumix cameras always do. I would not hesitate to buy it over the competition, not for any one reason, but for dozens and dozens of reasons. Since AF is no longer a deal breaker, it is time to focus on all of the other hybrid features the S5 II offers creatives. THIS is the camera I wish I could have bought in 2013 when I first started looking at mirrorless cameras.
Your review of S5ii is the best so far. Thank you
Looking forward to the Leica SL3-S. Thank you very much, video is a joy to watch as always 🙂
Great hanging out with you in Tokyo man!
It was so much fun!
i really loved the part at 6:44
haha it is my favorite part too!
Great review, as always. One thing you missed was the other edition of this model that will sell for $200 more and will add more video features, like ProRes and WiFi video broadcasting, etc.. It's set to come out in a couple of months.
And supposed to be able to hook an SSD to it via the UBS connector. But I agree, fantastic review as always!
Thanks mate. Appreciate the effort.
Nice review and comparison and all, but most importantly… magnificent beard!
I've been using a Lumix G9 for 4 years. It does everything I need and of course I want a new camera. I have been seriously considering the Sony FX30 and abandoning Panasonic. But the S5II is intriguing. For $200 more, it offers far more capabilities than the APS-C FX30. Something to think about. I was really impressed with the lack of focus breathing of the S5 II combo. I know Sony has solved it in software with some of their lenses but I was surprised you didn't mention it because it was very gross on the Sony. Finally, your wife is a peach.
G9ii probably on the way now
@@orange42That would be a massive lens saving option. I don’t really need full frame. Any video camera that’s better than my $60,000 1991 Sony ENG SD camcorder is good in my books.
Definitely going to be getting the S5II 😍
What song started playing at 8:37 ? It sounds so much like Kawehi! I love it! Great review and I swear your music choices are always the best in your videos 💪🏻
'Til You Show Up · Windshield
(it's a sample song by Epidemic Sound)
This was a fantastic review sir I enjoyed it lot 🎥💥 S5 is really good
I switched from Canon to Sony then back to Canon because I hated the Sony default colors. After the 3rd party lens debacle and the slowness of RF lens releases I was just going to suck it up and plant myself back with Sony. But now I'm thinking I might give Panasonic a go.
As a Leica SL shooter for stills, using all the yummy Leica lenses for this camera for video has me sold! Let's face it, no one craves Sony color.
Two things did panasonic well: an amazing camera and a stunning marketing event.
I am so eager to get my hands on the S5 II...
özleştik ya faruk beycim
12:20 Must be a lot of fun to have such an animated person in your life 😃
I watch all the videos about s5ii
But you are the best..
I already have this camera..
Thanks 😊
GREAT REVIEW GREAT CAMERA, FINALLY PANNY!!!! still love my gh5 but this is a Giant Leap For Mankind. now the X. WOW. Happy New Year dude Marty Sender You Tube
I only bought my S5 6 months ago but oh god I'm tempted
Very nice comparasion. Really good job. I just wish if there could be some still comparasion done, also with some presets and colors comparasion. Almost nobody does that, which is shame if it's all hybrid cameras comparasions, not only videocameras :)
Brilliant video mate 👍🏻 Panasonic please make an adapter so that all my expensive MFT Pro glass will fit the L-mount system - then I’ll 100% upgrade my GH5 II to the S5 IIX. Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺
I think the Lumix S5ii is at a point now where it's good enough for some applications. As a filmmaker where I can ask an actor to just 'do that scene again' this is absolutely good enough. But for something mission critical, like a wedding, I'd maybe not be as confident. The IBIS on the Lumix is probably the deciding factor here. From what I've heard and seen on youtube it's incredible for in camera stabilization.
Great review as always, thank you! I bought the S1 1,5 month ago, the S5ii is now a better option I think, mainly because of the weight of the S1. Do you know if the S5ii has focus transition? The S5 didn’t I thought.
I'm melting away - like ice in the sunshine.
Pissed me off that every single blogger only reviewing AF and video capabilities of this camera.
The “X” version of the camera provides video tools that Sony doesn’t in some cases. That will be the one for competent video tuned for all sorts of video uses.
Hello Sir! Curious to know about the mic you have used when you walked from distance towards the Camera on the Beach. I can see multiple mic options in your video description but it would be great if you can tell me exact model. I am looking to enhance audio quality on my outdoor videos and main focus is on wind noise cancellation and steady voice while walking at variable distance from the camera. Thanks in advance!
All the s5 ii issues in the video appear to be firmware, but thank you for doing these types of tests, because they should lead Panasonic to fix them in an update.
Those b-roll shots are 10/10 👌
With the stabilizing test following your lady, the A7IV seems to deliver much sharper frames looking at her hair and pants print. Different shutter speed? How is the S5 II image quality compared to the A7IV?
I was about to buy the FX 3 but now I'm considering this.
What are you planning to do with it? Corporate gigs?
Can I just say the image out of the Panasonic is better compared to the Sony in the autofocus test … AND the lens breathing on the Sonylens is crazy compared to the Panasonic lens 15:36
I think I just found my camera.
For the past year I have been racking my brains out on what new camera I should buy and invest in.
Sony, Fuji, Panasonic, black magic ,full frame Nikon ❤
I shoot video and I do photography.
And I was thinking about the Panasonic SH1 or S5 but I love the way Black Magic looks.
But this camera really caught my attention.
Also I am coming from a Panasonic background Gh4 and GH5 and og bmpcc.
I can’t wait 🎉🎉🎉
Epic transition at 05:44 , slick!
the focus breathing compensation on the s5 was nice to watch, I assume that was happening internally and not the lens
@16:45 i remember seeing another reviewer say that the camera can get out of focus when a part of the shoulder begins to show. Is this an example of that? Nice vid. Makes me want to see my 2 GH5s and buy 1 of these.
Faruk Beyciğim her videoda diğer videolarınızın üstüne koyuyorsunuz tebrik ederim.
Fotografa başlamak için sony a6000 almayı düşünüyorum. Sizin bir tavsiyeniz var mı?
Time to upgrade or just complement my S5 with a S511x (love the write to SSD option there). Love there tools and Anamorphic support, but would love to see AF Anamorphic lenses.
As a Sony user I am impressed with how good LUMIX S5 II is , maybe I will move to LUMIX
Really good review! One thing I've noticed on all reviews of this camera, no one seems to like the port doors. I like them. I don't know what Sony or Canon are like, but I'm coming from Nikon, and I have to say the Lumix port covers are far better. Lumix has a metal pin for the hinge, with Nikon, it's one piece. It has a plastic hinge that eventually breaks or tears off.
I waiting for my camera to arrive today. It's actually the 2nd one. The first one came from Amazon Renewal, and it turned out to be Japanese market camera, so I sent it back and the US model arrives today.
How easy is the color grading and/or what LUT did you use? I've been trying to get away from my GoPro Hero 8. Which requires very little of anything post. I've had a TON of issues with many other cameras.
Leaving Fuji for one of this. Shoot hybrid and SOOC! Which would you recommend ? I’m defer magenta look.
Cool beat. Thank you
How are you able to use the musical track from Windshield without getting banned from Utube? Great Video as usual
Great comparison, thanks! It looks the S5II is really improved a lot on autofocus. However, I have just bought the S5 4 months ago! ;)
Since here must be a lot of S5 fans, I would like to borrow a little space to ask some questions, which confused me these days: I have connected my S5 to Ninja V and carry the camera on a DJI RS3 gimbal. As the S5 does not support blue tooth connection with the RS3, I connect the S5 to the RS3 with a USB-C cable, to use the red button on RS3 to start/stop recording.
When I switch on all these 3 equipment, the monitor on S5 is off (How can I turn it on?), the Ninja V is on. At this point, the red button on RS3 does not work (why?).
If I unplug the USB-C cable between S5 and RS3, both monitors on S5 and Ninja are turned on, but obviously there is no way to control the camera by using RS3.
If I disconnect Ninja V and then connect S5 and RS3 with the USB-C again, the monitor on S5 works, and I can control the camera using the gimbal.
It seems the 3 devices cannot work properly at the same time. Did I miss any settings? Many thanks in advance!
😄😄😄
In A7IV, there is a setting to make the LCD mon on while connecting to an external monitor and recording.
What machine is that with which you recorded the shoes?
informative 30min review.
Is there a 8 bit 4K recording option as I would use that for interviews
Do you suggest upgrading from a7iii to lumix ? does it perform well under low light , autofocus in low light as compared to some of the latest sony camera ? Also how about the color management while editing ?
love the review and your wife (I assume it's her) is really funny. When I rented for test Fuji and Canon to check the autofocus, I asked mine to do the same. It was so difficult to convince her and she was all the time bored throughout the test. Please tell me the secret, did you spike her drink? :D
20:23 I believe it was a spec that it takes a while to start the camera at the beginning of the day.
A Japanese UA-camr (theTakaTube) verified that if the camera is turned off for more than 12 hours, it will turn off completely to save battery power and will take longer to start up.
It is similar to the difference between putting a computer to sleep or shutting it down. Just as you would put the computer in sleep mode if you want to start working on your computer immediately after a break, you can turn the camera on once beforehand if you need to start shooting immediately.
There is an intermittent stuttering with the footage. I noticed this on another channel as well. Is that a Bug with the S5II?
re the issue you pointed out at 3:12 does it happen if it's set to "locked on"?
I was hoping you could help me decide between the Lumix S5 and the new S5 II.
For context, I’m starting out with photography and I’ll be going to film school soon, so I want to buy a hybrid camera that performs great for both stills and video, that will also grow with me as I develop.
I’ve found the S5 with a lens for £1400 and the new S5 II is about £2300 once you factor the lens in. The S5 has almost all the functionality I think I’ll need and at this price it’s a great deal but I’m unsure if I should save up a bit longer and get the newer version with all the updates (i.e. better autofocus and unlimited video recording at 4k etc). Which camera would you recommend buying in my situation? Is the S5 at £1400 too good to pass up or should I hold out for the S5 II? Loved the review and thanks in advance!
The S5 ii is the perfect Partner for my GH6 (uses the Same Batteries).
I can see why Panasonic chose you. The B-roll shots you did were stunning, Japan looks beautiful. Great marketing from Panasonic too
24:32 : Didn't realise my S5 has no downconvert like the GH cameras have... The only time I had to have 1080P output on the S5, i was recording 1080P aswell so i didn't notice.
I had to go in the menu to double check after watching this part.
I am very curious to see some 1080P120 shots in APSC mode (both h264 or h265), do you know who can send that to me ?
Wow, your review is the first I've seen to mention the auto-switching to the EVF when held close to your body! As someone who shoots almost exclusively from the hip, this is really good to know. I got a little confused though-- were you able to find a workaround for the S5ii or only for the a7iv?
There's an evf button right next to the evf that cycles between auto, LCD, and evf. It's kind of a non issue?
@@orange42 Awesome, thank you!! I think I'm sold on Lumix then! Now to decide if I have to patience to wait for the S5iix or not😅
@@laylahassomethingtosay Definitely wait for the x with the added versatility which will future proof the camera the extra $200, it makes no sense to buy the base S5ii. Thats coming from someone who knows they really dont need the added options and actually prefers the look of the red ring and white text on the base model over the blacked out look of the x... Im buying the X on a interest free payment plan and paying it off slowly before release so it is a much more manageable purchase and then should I need a camera with good autofocus (I normally manual focus anyway, unless on a gimbal) I can just hire a camera until then.
That being said I do own an original S5 so I can make do until may. If you need a camera now, the S5ii is a great purchase and should you need higher image quality in the furture you could always sell the s5ii or maybe you're successful enough by then to just buy a second body haha!
@@jockslifeatliftvideoproduc8528 Haha yeah, I haven't got enough money to justify two bodies, but I have got enough to justify taking the plunge on the S5ii and later paying the difference necessary to trade up to the x, should I find that I need it. For me it came down to this...
Reasons to get S5iix:
External SSD support. The other features seem nice, but that's really the only one that I could definitely see myself getting use out of.
Reasons to get S5ii:
I like the look better. It just excites me more than the all black design and at this price point, I want to have that emotional connection.
Release date. I've got a couple trips in March and May that I want to record, and my current DSLR is really lacking in video features.
For what it's worth though, I think you're making the smarter decision than I am. They're both great cameras, and in the end my decision was largely driven more by emotion than logic😄 Still if I find myself constantly running out of storage or having problems with Panasonic's IPB, I might be cutting my losses to skip to your side of the fence.
And congrats on the new camera heading your way!! It sounds like we're both in for an exciting year😋
@@laylahassomethingtosay It sure is a shame that I cant have the X with the red ring under the drive mode dial... I dont get the appeal of the all blacked out design and Id argue it could effect functionality as itll be harder to read the text and symbols on the buttons at a quick glance. I bet you love your S5ii and be getting it much sooner than I will be hahah! Have a lovely 2023
Nice to see Panasonic finally learning from Sony, and massaging UA-cam influencers. Yes the phase detect is incredible, apparently competitive with Sony, and better than Canon and Nikon. The Lumix features were always the best for video, and with state of the art AF it makes Panasonic Lumix a very attractive option. However, I am much less interested in L-mount than seeing a GH6 M2, G9 M2, or GH5 M3 with phase detect. FF is okay, but I prefer the smaller size and weight of MFT lenses.
Good review, I guess you don’t have the camera anymore so you wouldn’t have updated the FW to FW3.0 which supposedly enhance and fix many of the AF-C issues ?
Hahahahah you really have the best intro of all the comparation youtube game. Muy bueno
I wished for Christmas that we get min. 1 video / week from Faruk. :) I hope my wish come true! Please, please!!! We need for this! :)))
Thanks for the video! Is it possible to force APS-C/Super35 crop mode for video in 24fps - to get extra 1.5x reach - while getting the entire 4K res with full frame lenses, like some Sony cameras?
Yes you can switch to APS-C in the modes that you can shoot in Full frame.
Does the S5ii image look soft compared to A7s3 snd A7iv? I want to like the s5ii but i can't get over the soft image
Question is, will it be as good in the low light as the a7iv. As a wedding videographer the a7iv is pretty incredible even when using 4k60 crop mode. Better than the fx30 as I owned one for a month before returning it and switching back to the a7iv. Better ibis would be nice for sure. The fact that you can go full frame in 4k30 if you need extra low light capabilities is insane
haha you got me on that intro
I feel like they pulled all the stops out on the marketing push for this and I hope it pays off. They kinda need the win.
Sending all the influencers home with an entire ecosystem on "long term testing" loan was brilliant.
I m not going to buy it but I always like the way you review cameras...
Well done 👍 I will buy the S5iix when it comes out next month. I’m shooting with Sony and will stay with it, it’s just the cooling system and the image stabilization, Sony either doesn’t have or can’t compete without a big crop. Too many features, and for the price I have to have it.
Panasonic fall's into the old saying "A Day Late, And A Dollar Short", I have invested too much into Sony bodies and glass to switch. I started out with Canon ten years ago, then switched to Panasonic back when the GH-5 came out, then finally switched to the Sony A7III, then the A7SIII, and now have those plus an A7IV and an FX3. Add the thousands and thousands of dollars of glass ( probably around $14,000) on top of the thousands and thousands of dollars worth of camera bodies (around another $14,000), and like most I am now too invested in Sony to ever switch. Long term Sony out smarted the competition by creating both better bodies and glass years ahead of the competition. I do like the ergonomics of the Panasonic and their video centric options like shutter angle. But I am a one man show, so I need the reliability of Sony.
Your wife is awesome.. really make me laugh with her expressions :) Great review!
Greak work! Seems can't avoid to see the apparent color layers of the sky. Didn't you use 4:2:2 10 bit?
