Lumix S5 VS Lumix S5 ii Epic Battle  

Agreed, the OG got that image quality.

I appreciate you man, I needed this, although I did buy my S5 several weeks ago. Just needed confirmation that I made a good buy.

I am so glad I held on to both my S5 despite temptation to "upgrade". Also I have not updated to latest firmware, which gives me a chance to check the latest firmware on one of my S5s against last year's firmware V2.4 on on my 2nd S5.

Loving it, cheers brotha from the UK!

Great video! Never thought that the upgraded autofocus would hinder the image quality 🤷🏾‍♂️ love my S5, pair up with the Ninja and it’s a cinema beast!

Great video - thank you - Do you think that the image quality of the two cameras would be closer if they were both in manual focus ?

#LumixGang great work. The S5 OG's image is amazing. i am never getting rid of my OG S5. I still got my eyes on the S5 IIX . Hopefully will get it this year. keep up the good the work.

there is something about the OG S5 that is lacking in the S5mkll there is some character to the image the camera produces that makes me love it, and for some reason I find myself going out with this camera every day even when I don't plan to shoot. I love my GH5 and my S1H but is like this S5 hooks me the more. I am looking at the 24-70 f2 to match. It's childish to complain about the autofocus because for what this camera is made for, you'll be doing manual focusing. I am aware before I make my move, I have No regret, you earned my sub.

Thanks for the tests. Yeah, sad to hear about the worse image quality of the S5 II. I am thinking of getting the Ninja V for my S5 OG and then converting the ProRes RAW to Cinema DNG for use in DaVinci Resolve.. unless I can find a great deal on the BMD Video Assist 12G. Also, just subscribed to your channel.

Like the video. I have a GH6. and S5iix and love them both. Can't wait for the GH7.

Hello Man! Nice video as usual, The Lumix S5 is a very good camera, I have my s5IIX but as the second camera I am still using my BMPCC4k, I can match them both ok, Is pretty interesting to see how good the s5 is. Now I am personally on a quest hahaha I am saving money from now on to get my hands on the future S1H mark 2, now this buy is just because for a long time my dream camera has been the S1H, I love the form factor the weight, the image, but when I got the money for the s1h the s5IIx was already out so I went for s5IIx, but me buying the s1h2 is just because I know I am going to love it, I just hope they keep the same or similar form factor as well as the price (if rumors are true the price might be a bit higher, let see) hahaha

I can comfortably say I’ve never had auto focus issues with my OG S5 once the settings were dialed in even the tracking has been almost perfect

Good stuff! I kept my S5 and added the S5ii to have the best of both worlds.

Great comparison brother.

I got the s5ii, and for what I do - it's plenty good. I think the iix raw codecs are a lot better looking. Being said, i agree the s5 looks better, and it's a stupid good value right now - people are selling them for 600-800$ on facebook. That's a no brainer for anyone looking to get into pro work on a budget

I can't believe the S5ii exposes so much brighter...are you sure this isn't user error?

This was the exact video I needed. However, I would have loved to see the autofocus shot at f2.8 rather than around f12 as it doesn't seem to reflect the true capabilities of the speed of the autofocus.

Let's goooooo

I think some features they took off was to be able to sell the s5ii x

Great vid !!…. Can’t see any of the ig links

S5ii looks like it also let's in more light somehow

The original S5 has the more cinematic look.. :)

You already know man I never liked the s5 for some reason. Just never liked using it. Fug it
