Coming from Blackmagic cameras that's why I got Panasonic instead of Sony fx30 because I can record braw and external ssd recording, so it fits my workflow which I am used to already using blackmagic cameras
I knew what BRAW was before I got into cameras 📷 😁 Basically coming from a visual effects background & having DaVinci Resolve experience. The BM Pyxis 6K would still appeal more to me with its internal BRAW, box design, and menu system which I think is the most user friendly there is, but that's probably subjective.
I shoot many works on an Ursa, even short movies, and never used BRaw. ProRes is always been enough. But, of course, many use it, especially for short clips, like commercials and institutional works.
Regarding the sharpness (same applies to noise reduction): When not in VLOG, you have the option to go from 0 to -5 and to +5. When in VLOG, you have the option to go from 0 to 10. That is the same idea, with 0 being the equivalent of the -5 of the other modes. So it is still 10 grades of adjustment, starting on the lowest. This is how I see it. Cheers from another S5IIX owner! 🙂
I own one of these beasts since last december...I really enjoy to make video and also photography...both professionally. And yes...reliability is it´s name. And the color science (I come from Canon too)...the presence of the camera, the character...I´m really happy with it.
I just used the S5 II X for three days of shooting in various conditions: dynamic setups; under the sun while in the water to my waist (for almost two hours in total); on a boat, on a dinghy in the middle of the sea, and at night. I have to say it is really reliable. It did not overheat, at the point I forgot it could even be an issue; great dynamic range, even in the worst situations; never used more than two batteries in a day. It has is small issues, like every other camera, but I really like it.
Quality insights right here. So bored of the technical reviews and this was breathing fresh air. Focus on use cases is super valuable. A true gem, buddy 🙌
@@ThiloWitting yes not specifically with Canon per say but a lot of brands are hyped especially on RU-vid all have their pros and cons. This is a great example of a budget camera that just performs well from what I have soon. I need to buy one to actually see for myself though.
Canon really dropped the ball with the r5 - at least from a hybrid / video perspective. I still have gh5 5s ii and 6 and almost considered going to sony for the a9iii - now you have me thinking s5iix - waiting to see if anything interesting comes out this spring. Cheers and great video 👍
Thanks man! I mean if you have the s5ii you should be good and seems like you have an amazing camera lineup. I think there isn’t this big of a difference, maybe just if you need the extra recording options or just for the design haha.
Hey, yes filmed with the S5IIx and I have a video about the lenses that I'm using with the cam here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TgZUDaDBAzs.html Hope this helps :)
Speaking of 4K 120fps... maybe Lumix should try and get the 12MP sensors that Sony uses in the ZV-E1, since it has a much faster readout. Maybe put it in the same S5 II / IIX body (to save costs), since they are using the smae body for the G9 II as well. Add a dedicated timecode input and sell it for the same price as the S5 II. (The timecode input could be a similar solution to what the a7S III has now where you buy an optional cable and plug it in to the USB-C port.)
THE FATAL FLAW that killed it for me was that the camera "forgets" the focus point in MF mode when switched off and on ( when using non focus clutch lenses ) !
Have you seen the olpf filter upgrade from Kolari? Might help with the overall sharpness and gets rid of moire. I’m using anamorphic lenses on my S5ii x so it’s definitely not too sharp for me.
Hey, thanks for the tip, definitely going to check it out when I’m back in Europe. And also might try the anamorphic lenses at some point. Do you use the Sirui lenses?
I'm using the Blazar Remus lenses. I sold my Sirui lenses and got the PL mount Blazars with the amber flares. It's interesting because even though they are 1.5 instead of 1.6 the Blazars have more anamorphic character to them. Also I like that you can mount the PL lens sideways for doing vertical anamorphic.@@ThiloWitting
I’m considering going from the Canon R6 to the S5iix but I’m hesitating bc the R6 has such great AF & tracking on the PhOTO side especially for things like wildlife. I shoot hybrid but definitely don’t want to feel like I’m downgrading on the photography side. I also shoot using Flashpoint strobe lights and want to make sure the s5iix works well with them. Any thoughts? Would you recommend the switch for me as a photographer who wants to also do video? Thanks!
Hey, puh hard to tell since I’m rarely taking pictures, but I find the AF on the S5iix mich better then the Canon R6 AF which often disappointed me. But I’m not sure how reliable this is for wildlife since ofc here you need a super fast AF. Maybe in this case try to rent the camera for a day or two and try it in action of this could be worth the switch. I made some videos of dogs here and there and the af was working great for me, but yeah better you test this for yourself before making the switch 🙌🏼
hahaha booth so good the bg looks like green screen 😂 totally agree with you. lumix is such an underrated camera brand. i actually think camera companies need to release less camera models, and concentrate on making each model count, like lumix! just wish my gh6 had the pdaf....😅 hahah
Haha yeah the airbnb was awesome, but in a smaller place now unfortunately 😅 And agree, and just listen to what people actually need. I think lumix always tries to listen and improve. 🙂
Die Canon R5 bekommt man teilweise schon für 3k, die ZCam E2 hat 4k 120 für 2000$ und die Sony A7S III $3,499 Ist ja kein must have für mich und man hat ja 4k60p recorden, aber ich denke mit der S5IIx hätten sie da halt extrem Konkurrenz machen können, und wenn's nur über die SSD geht oder über nen externen recorder aber wenn 5.9k ProRes Raw geht, dann bekommen sie sicher auch 4k 120 rein
@@ThiloWitting bei mir kostet die canon mindestens 3.9000 ohne objektiv und canon objektivpreise sind eine frechheit. Die lumix bekomme ich für 2.400 mit objekitiv . die canon läuft auch heiss hat wabbeliges bibis, schlecht editierbare video files weil schlechte codecs . Die camera ist is ausser fur fotos nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Die z cam ist nicht vergleichbar und kann keine fotos, braucht einen haufen Zubehör damit man lislegen kann also pusteblume mit 2000. Eine sony s3 kostet kostet um die 4000 ohne objekti und macht 12 mp fotos Es gibt keins kamera die so viel kann wie die Lumix für den preis
@@ThiloWittingthe z cam e2 is micro four thirds, the full frame is the e2 f6 wich is like 3000 euros and needs to be rigged which goes over 3000 euros.
