    Excellent review as always Gordon. Glad your review showed how improves the AF is. It's not perfect but very usable. I feel there is too much of over bashing of Panasonic on UA-cam over its AF without providing a real and detailed review of the AF in the same video . Thanks for providing realistic and honest reviews to your audience,it is truly appreciated.

    Hi Gordon, Appreciate you going thru various modes of image stabilisation. I'm watching this on 1080p monitor and I must say that contrary to your comments at 15:25 it seems that IBIS was the most pleasing option, EIS on its own was jittery, and the combo of IBIS+EIS+Boost seemed to get the camera working so hard it took a dive in Auto Focus (although it could have been caused by light change).
    I'm looking forward to your direct comparison of S5 vs GH5S for video in the near future ;) Unlike the S1, this looks more like the camera that paves the path to L-mount alliance land.

    I am about to order the S5 with 20-60 lens. I owned a GH5 with Leica 12-60, got great results but was tempted away to Canon’s 90D because of the auto focus. For me that was a big mistake, I soon realised that any auto focus system is imperfect, but the biggest issue is the relative lower video quality. I have tried everything but I am not happy with 90D videos. I wish I had stayed with Panasonic. Thankfully the S5 seems like a great camera for me at a reasonable price

    I think you asked the perfect question - ‘is autofocus working sufficiently well for you to use confidently...?’.

I would love to see this camera succeed but I’m afraid that to do so, it needs to continuously ‘focus’ on developing this one area.

    Been following these new Lumix full frame cameras as a M43 G80 and G9 user with much interest but sadly these aren't good enough for wildlife shooters - yet!
    With regards to AF I have always found Panasonic autofocus to be annoyingly unreliable but with that said its hilariously easy to just use manual focus for vlogging which is 100% reliable and much more accurate than Sony or Canon AF which can often fail okay not as often as Panasonic but when it does it fails spectacularly!!

    The trees looked a little drunk with Boost IS.
    The autofocus lost your face a few times in the shadow areas more than the bright areas. In my opinion, the autofocus is fine for for vlogging; for narrative or general video production, (I believe) you can override the autofocus with the focus ring on the lens. However, it is a nice feature to just focus on the framing, pan/tilt, gimbal, shoulder rig, etc and not have an AC.
    Impressive how clean the image looks at 25,000 ISO; dual native ISO at 640 & 4000?
    It has the same sensor as the S1H? So same 14+ dynamic range? What is the dynamic range of the S1?
    S1 vs S5 "for video" would be a helpful video.

    First of all thanks for the complete content. I bet there’s been a lot of work behind.
    I think it will be a hit for Panasonic with regard to their usual sales numbers. It will help getting more people into the system.
    There was a lot of expectations about sub 1000 $ cameras but neither Panasonic or Sony are willing to lower the bar. Instead Panasonic is providing great value for money by adding many pro video features.
    I am a bit concerned that pure photography is losing ground and interest. And I will have to pay extra for video features I don’t really need. How much would a photographer’s S5 would have been ?
    Not complaining by any means. 2020 is a hell of a year for mirrorless

    I'm using a G9 now for 50/50 travel photos/film. Like most people in this camp, I'm questioning whether I should step up to FF to future proof myself before sinking even more cash in to µ43.
    I was actually on the verge of adding both the 10-25 and the 50-200 to my arsenal when the pandemic hit and I decided to put it off till I could travel again.
    Now that the S5 has been announced, for not much more i could get both a FF body and a lens in the same focal range as the 10-25 lens alone. Would the IQ be just as good? one's a (very highly regarded) pro lens, and the other a kit with not much in the way of samples and reviews at the moment. But can the sensor IQ make up for this? If so, I am essentially getting the S5 body for 500 bucks (2300 for the S5 with kit minus 1800 for the 10-25).

      You will get better dynamic range with the S5 and you can add the Sigma DG DN OS 100-400mm, it will be sharper, less expensive and with less noise for the same ISO compared to the 50-200mm on your G9.
      But the G9 stabilization is better, the 10-25mm is a very good lens (but heavy), better than 20-60mm S. The 50-200mm is only 650gr compared to the 1130gr of the 100-400mm DG DN.
      It is a tough choice ...

Don't for get, you are not just getting 422 10 bit, you are getting that at "full Frame." M4/3 just does not compare. Also, I shot into the Ninja V which gave me 5.9k RAW, 422, 12 bit, full frame.

      Very different cameras... the A7C is one of the most compact full frame cameras, but it's lacking a lot of the pro features of the S5. The main advantage of the A7C is the autofocus and size... if those points are not as important to you, the S5 is the better (and much more feature packed) deal.

    Finally Full Frame with the size of G9 body! On third try... not a brick... we can travel lite now... since it's hybrid, the question is... will Panasonic cripple this one with the firmware, like with G9, so after 2 years and 3 FW updates we still have same photo profiles for taking pictures and old codecs for time-lapse processing, no HLG photo, HDR or HEVC support... "the photographers" camera! And... still don't have any single wide angle prime lenses for entire MFT system, 8,9 or 10mm, similar to 14mm and 20mm pancakes lenses... or even simple manual focus lens with no electronics for video, landscape photography and again, for time-lapses... for simple tripod use.
    Moving forward Panasonic, leaving behind all people with your old cameras, without any new codecs updates or new pictures profiles!
    This one will get you started at $2299 with a kit lens... and then, they will tell you, we will have 5-in-1 $2800 new lens, two years later... like with G9...
    Great Job, Gordon! Watched both parts of this most detailed review! You put a lot of effort in both parts... I hope they let you keep this camera...

      @@evenaicantfigurethisout it's an option.... but I meant the native mft lenses from Panasonic. Last decade they are making best video featured cameras, but haven't produce a single manual focus cine lens for video, a simple inexpensive set of glass for videomakers... Of course, we can adopt many lenses, including Laowa(which produces horrible color fringing), but that voids all features for lens geometry correction and artifacts in camera bodies, which corrects most issues with supported lenses in firmware.
      Panasonic could of done that many years ago, but they decided to cripple entire MFT system... for years... since GH1-2... "funny" thing is, last year they insulted entire MFT owners community, who invested if their glass, with 5-in-1 10-25mm lens, setting the price of $1800(US) while selling most bodies around $700-$800! We already have 12, 14, 15, 20 and 25mm... we only need 9 or 10mm ultra wide small pancake primes for around $199... I have 3 MFT bodies and also own 2 hybrid cameras(FZ150 and FZ300) with 25-in-1 Leica lenses, 25-648mm f2.8, one of the best glass I have for video(yes, constant f2.8 recording un-cropped 4K with zero distortions), Today FZ300 still sells for $399, the entire camera!... M A R K E T I N G!!! Speaking of which, the S5, same G9 body($904 shipped from B&H last year) with FF sensor today costs $1899 plus tax... question for everybody...would you pay an extra $1000 for full frame sensor "to move forward"?

      In the menu go to cog (third from top on left), then image quality (top centre), and the bottom of the first page is Creative Video Combined Set. This allows you to separate photography and video preferences for F/SS/ISO/Exposure Comp, White Balance, Photo Style, Metering Mode, and AF Mode.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the video!
    I've also bought the same camera a few days ago and I'm super happy with it.
    I am using the same settings as yours (P-MODE), but I have a question: When I zoom in before recording, my preview get's laggy, but when I press the record-button, the lag stops and it's recording normal.
    It's a little bit frustrating, because when I am setting up my shot, the lag can be a distraction.
    What can the cause of that be?
    Thanks in advance!
