Great video! I've had both as well, ended up sticking with S5IIX. That stabilization makes a world of difference the way I film. Even though I prefer Lumix over Sony I always watch these types of videos to 'justify; sticking with Lumix.
how do you over come this problem I wonder >>> AND while the S5II may work for you :) HERE my beef with the Panasonic S system as a filmer and photographer. So while the S series may work for you :) For me it has one >>MORTAL FLAWMORTAL FLAW
I own a S5iix and can say that for the money it is very hard to get a better compact mirrorless camera at the moment. The Sony does look like it can last longer but for me that is the only reason why I would pay 300 dollars more for the Sony A7IV... In the end both cameras are great and it is hard to go wrong with either one.
@@LuisCruz-yg6rsyou can buy an A7IV in excellent condition used for under 2,000 easy. I’ve seen them as low as 1,700. Another benefit of Sony vs lumix is lens options. Sony FF has been around much longer so many more 3rd party lenses and what not, and the lenses seem to be getting smaller too which is nice.
Used both and definitely the S5II. I think the A7IV only has the autofocus thats better than the S5II but Lumix did just released a huge update which improves the autofocus and it now competes with all the other mirrorless
Lumix user since 2016, recently switched to Sony Full frame Godlike autofocus, love the colors, horrible IBIS. Switch to Lumix S5II and never looked back.
Kensei, video quality and production quality going up every video you make! Great job! I like how technical this video gets on the differences between the two bodies.
Uhh... you lost me at 1:56 "A7IV is better because you just get to choose what you want." Right after mentioned that the S5IIX has way more options. Looks like you might have been confused again.
Nice video bro. I just sold my S5IIX after 2 weeks, and switched to A74 because of: - Losing PDAF on 1080p60 or above - Lowlight performance isn't really good (even the original S5 is better than S5IIX) because of the phase detect pixels, Lumix company confirmed that, i believe. - HDMI latency (~1 second), but u can change the HMDI output resolution to 1080p and turn off the audio recording, it will be improved. - The moire performance is not good. - The PDAF is good but it missed focus a couple times when i was working with client so it makes me unconfident sometimes. - The lenses are quite expensive and limited than A74. - And the last thing, when i was editing the S5IIX's footages, i noticed that the sharpness is not as good as the older models of Lumix that i've used (like original S5, GH5, GH6,...), it seems more digital sharpness even compared to A74. But anyway, i still love the way they made S5IIX, it's a great camera, it's just not for me. And guys, remember this, the best and perfect camera doesn't exist, just the most suitable camera for your needs exists, and in my case, it's A74. Have a great work ;)
I though about getting the lumix, but the choice of lenses and the cost of selling up was not worth it in the end. I also love nature photography video and the Sony wins for that (lens choice and auto focus) I have never had the A74 overheat even in Kyushu mid August. My view is choose the system you like based of what you do and stick with it, the best thing you can do is learn you craft rather than gear.
For me, I value having 4k60 uncropped and 4k120 for my work so I will go for the ZVE1 over the panasonic for video purposes and I do not do long form recording
Well...I have a S5IIx since 6 months ago...I realy love it, but it´s true, it´s better for video /it´s awesome for photography too, but better for video). And I make both things...I´m eally happy with it. I had the kit with 2 lenses by the way, the 20-600 (incredibly good, being a kit lens) and a 50mm. Jus tneed a 85mmm and perhaps a 16...and I´m done. And i wouls add that the dynamic range in S5IIx it´s better in highlights. So if you shoot in conditions with strong highlights, S5IIx it´s great for you, while have a very decent performance in low light.
The black out style of S5IIX is cool until I'm in a dark room (or almost any room) I need a flash light to set the mode dial. Not everyone has built in night vision. I wish that was still white. Other than that This is my go to camera for photos and video over my Sony stuff. With the new firmware, the S5IIX IBIS has made all of my gimbals pretty much obsolete.
Great video! Now I've discovered you and I've seen some of your videos and I appreciate what you do, in fact you make the comparisons very well and point out all the points that need to be known. I watched many comparisons on RU-vid, but none of them enlightened as clearly as yours. I had doubts whether to take the Panasonic lumix S5llx, but I saw that it does very well. Now my question is between Panasonic limix S5llx and Sony FX30 which one is better in low light for events, which one should I get? it's my first camera and I've been thinking about it for a few days. Please, I want your professional opinion. Thank you!
I recommend you to get S5iiX:) Honestly, both are great camera, so your decision won’t be incorrect. In KA’s video, there’s FX30 long term review and S5iiX review. I bet those vids would be very helpful for you. Have a good camera trip👋
@@KenseiAkatsu Thank you very much, I just ordered the lumix s5llx and I'm waiting for it to arrive. A video with the lumix S5llx settings, exposure mode, iso, auto focus, the meaning of the buttons, especially the two mode selectors, was also good. many people are now discovering this wonderful room. it is not only sony on the market. Good luck with as many videos as possible!
The fact we can choose a7iv or s5iix in that price range makes 2020 or later as the golden era of mirrorless. I wish Panasonic does better in distribution in South East Asia, especially with their L-mount lenses availability & pricings, hard to get sigma's too. That's the only problem that prevented me dipping my toes into Lumix Full Frame.
It is all about the color! I have a Sony a7r3, a6400, but my GH6 and Olympus Em1 iii have much better color. I would go Lumix if I had to choose...of course the lenses matter a lot too! So much to consider!
I used the fx3 and the a7 and I literally shot a musical with ton of singing and dancing and movement with autofocus and with the new update the autofocus was amazing nothing went out of focus and no jumping around and shot it all hand held with my s52x I’m so glad I bought this camera I fell in love with Panasonic when I used the eva1 and with the autofocus fixing it feels more natural
S5ii made for video. Stills secondary. Hard to get a perfect hybrid. Going to lean one way. Fuji has similar ibis for video. Not natural. Likely made for photos first. Not video.
Lumix S5ii is $2,150 with the 2 lenses or the Sony A7iv for $2,500 body only with zero lenses at best buy today. I am more than happy with my amazingly stabilized Lumix hybrid camera.
I'm a pixel peeper so if lumix s5iix had more megapixeles would be a perfect camera for me. I still prefer it though, I have it. Also after the firmware update the ibis is mind blowing, almost like gimbal.😊
To me it makes no sense to compare the sony to the lumix as sony lacks to many fearures to be compared. The Sony has no fan and overheats very fast, it has no 6k and no open gate, the ibis is bad as well. I would never buy such an outdated camera.
I had the s5iix and idk man the camera just felt slow… really laggy, and just felt like a slouch to use.. but the photos and colors and video was good..
I own it. I had the same impression when taking pictures. Once I changed it to use mechanical shutter, instead of electronic shutter, it totally changed the responsiveness. Not sure if that would've made a difference for you.
In which of these two cameras is the moiré effect more noticeable when shooting video? The S5IIX does not have an AA filter, but it is not certain whether the A7IV has one, as the information on the Internet varies.
You just breezed over the facts the Sony is non reliable long form shooting 😅 1 hour before overheating can’t be standard. Come on Sony it’s mid 2024. Imagine buying a car that should go 300 miles per fill up and it dies at 150 miles. Our expectations for $2200 is a pretty low for brand loyalty when the resulting images are so close now.
a7m4 was overheated when I was filming interview and event. So if I gotta do anything even super long recording by just one camera I wanna use LUMIX. If I have a7s3 as well that is not gonna happen tho...💸💸💸
It’s a shame that Sony won’t update their firmware etc. to give Sony features like internal luts etc. I’m thinking of switching to Lumix just because of this.. the a7 4 has to be updated. I want more features and I know my cam is perfectly capable of it
AND while the S5II may work for some :) HERE my beef with the Panasonic S system as a filmer and photographer. So while the S series may work for you :) For me it has one >>MORTAL FLAWMORTAL FLAW
THIS! I was about to write sth like that. I didnt liked this video review. So dishonest imo. Also after 10 days from new firmware update for Lumix, what is game changer even more.
I jumped from Sony to Lumix , Sony has slightly better AF in video and much wider range of lenses. Lumix had much better ergonomics( i would say excellent) and very good cooling during video. Kit lenses of Lumix are better that kit Sony lenses
I only watched your channel because My girlfriend was watching because she thinks you’re so cute… Sony‘s auto focus blows away the Lumix and the Lumix ibis blows away Sony ibis… So…?
How good is the auto white balance for night photography on the Sony? I have the Panasonic s5ii and it is really bad for night photography. The photos are excessively warm. It makes my process slower because I need to spend too much time fixing it. I didn't have that problem with my Olympus camera. So I may switch away from Panasonic
Change white auto balance to ABWC and it will solve problem tor you. But to be honest auto white balance is wrong choice, and will cost you additional work in post
I had both, lumix feels a lot better, solid and big, feels expensive. Sony is not bad but feels more plastic and I hated that overheated, that was my main problem. I never had an issue of camera turning off but just the fact to feel the camera hot was annoying
@@leonardocabrera468 ... had the A7IV, too. That's why I asked that question. A7IV did overheat several times for me... rear section of frame is mostly plastic. Body was not the same as my A7SIII.
