12 REASONS Why I'm Using The Lumix S5iix In 2023!

[@Christian6AT]

How good is it for rollers and motorsport photography? Can the autofocus snap onto cars?

[@TheCarCreative]

Sure can! Tracking autofocus, zone focus, all kinds of focus options that are just as good as the competitors.

[@Christian6AT]

@@TheCarCreative Seems like a winner then!

[@odd02]

3:16 the frame wobble is very apparent. I'm assuming you were recording with a pretty wide lens like a 16 or 18 here. I know a few reviewers has mention that anything lower than 20mm the edges start to wobble alot.

[@DualArtss]

Wobble is wildddd

[@zerobubble3063]

Whats the lens for vlog?

[@amermeleitor]

Have you tried Nikon? Nikon its know for the highlights recovery in photography, and with N-log and N-raw could be one of the best in the market

[@johnclay7644]

good informative video on S5 mk II X

[@TheCarCreative]

Thanks mate. I appreciate the feedback.

[@SakkiDuran]

3:46 yeah but I think the new Canon R6ii has dual iso, can you confirm?

[@PersistentMedia]

@zitroadrian Great review. I've had my A7IV overheat on me on shoots and that alone makes me worried on every shoot. Lumix seems like the way to go! Thanks Alex!

[@TheCarCreative]

Ya I hated the overheating risks with the canon cameras as well. For them to offer that at such a low price point is amazing!

[@StephenHerron]

@stephenaherron That Bluetti power bank looks pretty cool! Could definitely see that coming in handy on shoots! I really want the S5mkiix just wish it shot raw internally but it's always a give and take. The v-log is probbaly good enough for me in most cases and I can pull the trigger on the blackmagic video assist in the future as im on Resolve, all the options are really nice though. Nice review!

[@TheCarCreative]

Ya it’s a pretty cool unit hey?! I personally won’t actually end up using a lot of the raw features as I feel like most of the codecs that write to the SD cars are good enough for what I do. Big jobs though I could see it being helpful. At least they give you all the options! 🙌🏼

[@howiedoo1111]

Great video! Thanks for being thorough!

[@TheCarCreative]

Thanks for watching! Means a lot! 👊🏼

[@erg1450]

thank you for the detailed information, did you have a chance to compare the S5IIX with the new Son zv-e1?, they are about the same price. Also, what gear did ou use for this video?, IMO it looks a bit soft images.

[@DamianBartolacci]

I have the 85mm and the 35mm. They are indeed the same shape but the 85 is slightly heavier than the 35 and you may need to make slight adjustments when using a gimbal.

[@TheCarCreative]

Thanks for the heads up! The motors were able to handle the difference in weight but I’ll keep my eyes out for that for sure. Thanks for watching! 👊🏼

[@Luka_Film]

50 мм у других производителей намного меньше !

[@youfollow_]

Lumix needs to do wobble fix

[@9adriano21]

I would say some of it is because of rolling-shutter so maybe not all fixable but it be good to reduce it. That being said I much prefer some wobble than the jerking of the Sony IBIS (a7IV), that really ruins shots

[@youfollow_]

@@9adriano21 I notice that when the ibis is off , it do t wobble but active is wobbles less than canon cameras which is acceptable. They need to correct it still for better use

[@KDrixx]

i mean its not a vlogging camera..!

[@youfollow_]

@@KDrixx but it have the use to vlog

[@TheCarCreative]

I noticed it a little bit as well during the walking stuff. Shot super wide at 16mm so would make the wobble more prevelant. I’ll chat with them and see what we can make happen, it’s a good note to make. Thanks for the input! 🙌🏼

[@mikenorsa5193]

Nice video, thanks! I just got the S5II and I like it a lot. But there is no full frame slow motion with autofocus, even in 1080p??? I can accept no 4k60 full frame but coming from an Sony A7Siii and missing my GH5 qualities I went back Panasonic on this model. it's very frustrating that there's no autofocus when shooting full frame slow motion frame rates in any resolution.

[@TheCarCreative]

I don’t know what you’re using but I use 1080p 60fps with autofocus…

[@mikenorsa5193]

@@TheCarCreative I'm new to the camera so maybe it's user error but when I put it in full frame 1080p 50/60 it disables autofocus. It will work in apsc 1080p slow Mo but it just stops working when I change to full frame in 50/60. Are you getting autofocus in full frame 1080p slow motion or apsc?

[@samuelboatengyt]

this is just amazing, can not wait to recive mine. Well done video mate

[@TheCarCreative]

You’ll enjoy it for sure.

[@CpIt69]

how's the focus for 1080

[@TheCarCreative]

Just as good as 4K as far as I can tell.

[@doctorkj5640]

Are S5II and S5IIX made in Japan? What the label says? Thank you in advance

[@TheCarCreative]

I’m not 100% sure but I am fairly confident that they are yes and they are a great company to work with for sure.

[@fellowcitizen]

Subbed and awaiting more S5iix!

[@PERIKLISTSINTZAS]

i have the s5 and the image quality of this camera is something else specially with 35mm lens .I was inpancient and i bought canon r8 until new lumix s5iix would be ready for delivery,but now even though i am very pleased with these 2 cameras ,you conviced me to decide to sell lumix s5 for s5iix😄

[@TheCarCreative]

If you don’t plan to use ProRes files you could also just get the S5ii and it has all the same great features just no ProRes.

[@rendermanpro]

+ menu for people, and not for robots. Smart menu system is a huge plus.

[@davey_gravy]

The more and more I hear about the S5iix, the more I want it. I think its such a great option for so many of us out there

[@TheCarCreative]

It’s a pretty great option for sure! Cost effective and packed with things creators actually use 🙌🏼

[@9adriano21]

What for the S1 II,

[@TheCarCreative]

I wish they had that too. It would be a perfect camera with full frame slow motion.

[@teamscoobydoo]

Thanks for the review. I might pick up this camera over the fx3 and a7s3 for my video only camera. It's tough since I've been going back and forth between the a7s3 and fx3 and now I discover the lumix s5iix which fits my needs since I post social media content. I'm already in the Sony ecosystem which I have the a7r3 as my photo camera with GM 24-70 2.8 and GM 70-200 2.8. What would you do in my situation?

[@TheCarCreative]

Man, that's tough. If you're already in the Sony ecosystem and are happy with it then I don't see a need to switch. Being able to use all your lenses for photo and video is really helpful honestly, so that to me would be a draw back for you having to bring multiple lens types to shoots for different camera bodies. I know for me though, I have found the Lumix to be a great "everything" camera. I don't need the large file sizes from the larger "photo centric" cameras, in fact it slows down my work flow with big file sizes. 24mp photos has been more then enough for me to do professional work and print. If you were looking to switch to something else, S5iiX is pretty damn cool. You could watch the video I made with this camera against the Sony A7Siii and that might help you a step further. I appreciate you watching mate, hope this is helpful!

Those sound like some serious specs! I would be curious the price point if it's an approachable price point for upcoming creators? Honestly though most cameras these days will be sufficient but I have never found a camera that creates content the same way I see it in my mind like the Lumix. Thanks for watching!

I love my S5ii & Dji Rs3 mini. I also think once I get the 18mm f1.8 i'll have the perfect s5ii setup & that 4k won't matter

[@AfoteyAnnum]

@afoteyannum This is the one camera that will make me seriously consider switching to full frame... It's like a full frame GH6, which is just what I've always wanted lol

[@freepeace9067]

Is it? 4k120 is a big part of what the gh6 offers. So is uncropped 4k60.

[@TheCarCreative]

Ya the full frame is a big selling feature if your looking to jump into it! Technically you’re already on the “cropped” slow motion with the micro 4/3 sensor? So it’s just a big win with going full frame and getting better bokeh and low light performance. I’ve never used the GH series but I hear great things.

I purchased Lumix S5, and S5ii before Lumix reached out to send the Lumix S5iiX. Not paid at all. I already have their favour. I genuinely love sharing my experiences on KZbin and as I said in the info I have used Sonys and canons all before in my 10 years as a creator and I like this camera the most. Just my opinions, take what’s good from it and hopefully you enjoyed the content mate. 👊🏼

[@hmmmmm2555]

@rusti_is i am in the market to move up from aps-c to full frame and now trying to decide between A7Rii, z6ii or this new DC-S5ii. primarily i wanna shoot photo but some video here and there as well in nature, landscapes, street, cityscape and portraits. i do want best quality obviously but also considering lens options and cost overall. part of the reason i am not considering Canon is their new stance and blocking third party lenses. i am not a fan of closed ecosystems and would like to leave myself the option to choose. what would you recommend?

[@a.rec_film]

your channel has become a place for advertising for some time. It's a shame because it started out well. Unsub but wish you much good

[@TheCarCreative]

Hey mate. I appreciate your honest feedback, and from a viewers perspective I can see how you could get to that opinion. It's definitely tough as someone who creates free content for audiences to consume, to ride the balance between making content that can put food on the table, and create content that I know my audience will enjoy. This video for example... I was paid by neither Lumix, nor Bluetti to create this content... in fact I'm GIVING a free product away to those that want an opportunity to have it. I am personally excited by the Lumix camera system and have PURCHASED the camera for myself, hence why I made this video. I think for most content creators it is a fantastic option that is cheaper than most and checks a lot of the boxes. I enjoy educating people on their options and hope that this a place people can come to learn, and gain tools for their own content creation. What I see on KZbin is most content creators getting sent products and creating relevant videos for people to educate themselves on those products. I don't feel I'm doing anything different, do you? I'm offering valuable information to people in my community in order to equip them for their own creative ventures. You could also just skip the ads if you don't like it =). Wish you all the best mate and I appreciate the time you've given to the community while we had ya!

[@WhatsyourForte]

Creators have to eat and make money also.

[@a.rec_film]

@@TheCarCreative As I mentioned above, you started very cool, I watched from practically the beginning. I appreciate every youtuber and creator on this site. However, strangely enough, the last 2 days have been a rash of reviews and positive reviews of this camera alone. Unfortunately I don't believe in such a coincidence :) What I write below does not apply specifically to you also without offense but .... ... I don't understand filmmakers who can't say clearly: yes, I got this equipment as part of the collaboration, I also got a fee for this film. However, I tested this equipment and I think it's time to switch from my Canon / Nikon / Sony because this product is perfect for me. You are thus credible, sincere and do not hide that you are a filmmaker who lives from collaborations - this is normal. The worst thing is to hide that you don't have cooperation when you have it. Once again, don't take it hard, this is probably a message to all creators - by being sincere you only gain. I wish you a lot of right choices in life and joy in what you do - that's the most important thing.

[@cagondei]

@@a.rec_film Mate they all publish the reviews at the same time cos that's how embargos work, they get to se a movie, play a videogame or test electronics early and in return the brand chooses a date close to release when all press will publish their opinions, that way they can get max coverage across multiple creators. Does he sound too excited talking about the new Lumix? Well, it's a 4.000€ camera sold for half the price, why shouldn't he be happy? Gerald Undone is what, a Sony shooter? Loves the S5ii and X. Lok and Jordan Drake, former S1H, S5 shooters who openly complained about their autofocus, love the new cameras. The only conspiracy I see here is crop in the 4k60 being a negative factor when it's, again, something only much pricier cameras get to avoid. If you were following Alex for that long you'd remember he clearly stated his honest reasons for switching, how he didn't get to travel to Tokyo like a lot of other youtubers (trips paid for by Panasonic iirc) yet he still BOUGHT the S5ii early on, and yeah, maybe all creators could start the videos presenting the legal background for all equipment they use but by the 5th second much of the audience would be gone in this tiktok world. ***I fully paid for my Lumix S5 :/
