I bought the S5IIx with 20-60mm, 50mm and 70-300mm. I took the Blackmagic VideoAssist 12G, SmallRig 99 V-mount batteries and stacked them in the rig. An excellent combo for run n gun travel documentaries. Stabilization is perfect, I no longer use a tripod or gimbal. I record everything handheld. BRAW is a dream, flexibility in DaVinci is top. Although I also have the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8, I think the Lumix 20-60mm kit lens is a great choice. Way less sharp than Sigma but gives a good film look in my opinion.
Video is becoming more popular than photography because you can extract photos from a video but not the other way around. Photography will never die though. Canon needs to catch up and respect their amature users a bit more.
@@snowwalker9999 Canon needs to catch up how? They recently released two so called hybrid lenses that are way more video focused than they ever had before. RF 24-105mm f2.8 & RF 35mm f1.4 And this is seemingly just the beginning. Rumor has it that two more such hybrid f1.4 primes are coming this year (likely 24mm & 50mm).
@@TerraThink we were talking about sensors and camera feature not lenses. No needed to take it personally. Everybody knows Canon makes the best lenses.
@@snowwalker9999 I do have a Canon, but I've looked into switching to Sony, and I've previously been fond of Panasonic (MFT sensor). It doesn't matter to me if you like Canon or not. And I'm not sure if they always make the best lenses. Sony, Tamron etc. have released some great glass in later years (Sony 24-70 f2.8 II, Sony 70-200 f2.8 II, Tamron 35-150mm f2-2.8 for instance, and I'm very curious about the rumored Sony 85mm f1.4 II). I was just wondering in what way you thought they needed to catch up? :) What sensor tech/camera features do you see a lack of in Canon's lineup?
It especially feels that way if you compare with third party options for e.g. Sony. But if you compare e.g., Canon RF 50mm f1.2 on BH with Sony 50mm f1.2 on the same website, they both actually cost the same ($2000). With that said, the Sony lens is newer so it might go down slighty in price as time passes (to like $1800).
@@TerraThink Sony 50mm 1.2 is a fair bit lighter, less CA and sharper with smoother transitional bokeh compared to the canon - you're getting more quality for the price compared to the canon RF 50mm 1.2
@@infantfrontender6131 Yes, Sigma is always cheaper (Tamron too). But a lot of people are a bit mistrusting of 3rd party lenses. So they prefer to pay double to get native glass. Otherwise Sony probably wouldn't be selling any lenses themselves :p Just bodies for Sigma & Tamron lenses.
I have aS5IIX...and it´s a 6k sensor. So actually 6k it´s of course better than 4k, and it´s 4k it´s downsampled from 6k...so...perhaps this video it´s not as accurate as could be, he he. But somethigis true: both are great cameras. Just S5IIX has a lot of functions and every single button it´s customizable.
Awesome comparison brother. Panasonic has definitely checked all of the boxes for me and made me leave the canon system. That doesn't mean Canon doesn't still hold a place in my heart. LOL!!! If Canon starts to offer more in their hybrid cameras like lumix does, and not try to drain accounts, then I might consider adding them back into my life. Until then Lumix has a major advantage especially for what I do when it comes to documentary/music video work in multiple environments.
Good video but sounds like you missed a few big video features on the S5iix like Open Gate, recording to SSD, ProRes, Proxy recording, Frame-io integration, shutter angle, timelapse
Does anyone have a preference when it comes to photos? I want a S5IIX for the video, but I think I might like the R6 II more for photos. And I do both…
your videos are great, subbed. decided photography again as a hobby and bought my first full frame camera after watching your videos. chose the s5iix with 20-60, 50mm and it comes with a free 85mm part of the deal. gonna try learn a bit of videography as well. main use will be urban/street photography, secondary use for outdoor/wildlife as I bought a sigma 150-600 with it. i had a nikon d7000 i havent used in years but didn't want to invest into older F lenses so I'll adapt my AF and AI lenses to my new camera instead.
Upto 30 fps, the S5IIX has a whole stop advantage in DR. At 4k 60fps, they're about the same as the S5IIX needs to crop in to APSC. Canon is limited by CLog3 as the DR in photography is quite close to the S5IIx.
@@KenseiAkatsu yeah i saw this video, S5II vs Fx30 and this video was amazing. 🔥 But S5IIX is newer version. And price is too close. So most people can get new information from you.😊❤️
I don’t know if it’s a RU-vid compression issue (I haven’t download the files yet), but in the lowlight comparison the Canon side, on 640 ISO has pretty severe macroblocking, and falls apart pretty quickly when ISO starts going up. I’m perplexed, because the S5 side seems to be much more usable in all conditions. And the same with some shots on the porch, where the highlights rolloff on the Canon is simply abysmal. I’ll check the files soon and see for myself.
After some tests I can say that the macro blocking is totally absent on the file, and even using RU-vid on the PC; just a TV issue, a suppose. Still, I can see Canon preference is to give an edge on skintones but it's pretty yellowish as soon as the lights goes down. The Panasonic is more natural looking in low light. Noise is pretty much comparable, the Canon is a little bit smoother, but also darker and less detailed and maneuverable (Pana is easy to match to Canon colors, less easy is the opposite). It goes down to personal choice, not a clear winner, for me.
for me Canon is better in every aspect its even not close in skintone and contrast aspect, BUT this big "but" stabilisation is on the whooooole different league and this is so important! because gimbals are mess... but if with gimbal canon is way better
Canon is great with handling skintones, but one thing many Canon users that I know complained about (with the 5D, to be sincere) is how, in lowlight, everything is just yellow. I hope the R mirrorless series doesn’t have the same issue.
@@Promikes Good to know, but still, I want to see how the results are in harsh environments like tungsten lowlight situations. I'm messing a bit with the files and I must say that the R6 is quite good. It all goes to personal preferences, speaking of color science
The s5iix is amazing, however, there’s a lot of reports that lumix s line lenses have poor QA, and suffer from glue or whatever separation which causing noticeable bubbles inside the lens. I checked my 50 1.8 and I can see thick layer of separation around the glass, I don’t know if it will degrade more and how is that affects the image. But it’s very very disappointing and worrying. I hesitate if to invest in this system or get rid while I still do not have a big park of lenses. What a shame!
@@KenseiAkatsu It's quite hard to notice at first even if you have it. I was using a flashlight and inspecting it under daylight same time, but when you see it, it's obvious, thick round layer around the edges somewhere inside. UPDATE: looked at my 20-60, and there's oil spots just behind the front glass around the plastic/metal ring of the zoom element. I'm quite honestly shocked. I've never seen anything like this even in my 50+ years old glass... if they don't fix these production lines, it will be the end of lumix.....
That's not even a question, until Canon stops treating its customers like garbage and allows third-party lenses. 😂😂 But anyway it's interesting to watch this video.
