I Left Lumix(For Now)

[@jacksp8de]

I like how you shoot these beautiful black folks with the Lumix. Skin tones look great. I have the Sony A7iv and I love it but I was thinking of switching to the S5IIx because I used to rock with the GH4 back in the day and love the color science. I have the Blackmagic 6k and that's my favorite look but tired of having to rig that hoe up every time. Lot to think about.

Same way I felt when I knew I had to leave Fuji. Nikon solved my issues but Fuji will always hold a place in my heart.

[@Photomeike]

For video either Black Magic Pykxis or Sony FX… is my guess.

[@Bigcookfilms]

Maybe bro

[@striderkiba9321]

i agree man, for me the gh6 should have pdaf, then the 20-60mm lens should have made it f4 and go all in full frame, when you lack market share you have to do extra make people want you. lacking 4k 120 and better read out for rolling shutter,even in crop, and the s9 should have been like a fx3 instead of like marketing it like an advanced point and shoot. they have great features but lack of innovation and there marketing division is really failing them.

[@Bigcookfilms]

Yeah, I've always said that Lumix marketing division is in hell

[@a3_vizualz]

I need something a little better on the photo side.

[@thalifeofkarter2914]

@ the funny thing is we are on completely different ends of the spectrum, and they aren’t fulfilling either of us. I want them to embrace the box style and go more video heavy. An you want something closer to Sony a series photo specs. Yet Panasonic is lagging behind on both😂

[@Bigcookfilms]

Thanks bro and you know that I have to set a hook for the next video

[@rumenalexandrov]

I feel the same for my Fuji's. I joined when they announced the XT-3 which was the best camera to get if you want 4K 60fps at 10 bit even Sony didn't have that at the time. Fuji promised a strong push into the video world, and autofocus improvements, but then they just kept disappointing camera after camera to a point where now I also want to switch despite how much I love the image I get

[@Bigcookfilms]

Hopefully they give you what you need soon

[@YFMMediaNetwork]

Big Cook every time you change cameras new Lumix comes out. Appreciate the content bro!!! It will always be camera wars. L mount is about 5 companies Leica, Lumix, Blackmagic, Sigma, and DJI. So it will be okay with market sharing. Camera world is like Cell phones all the smaller cell phones make cell phones to stay around and survive. The community is very strong on the L mount is very strong.

i moved from GH5 to Pocket 6k , S1H and S5ii where my firt options but the 1.5x crop when shooting highframe rates was something i couldnt get over , that and the drop in bitrate from 422 to 420 when it crops

[@Bigcookfilms]

The image coming out of the 6k is top notch

[@dasaen]

I agree. The pricing of their new m43 gear is also hard to bite (outside wildlife and supertelephoto). Specially now that other brands are doing a ton of budget friendly gear. I still will keep m43 but I am looking for a 24-70mm + backup body, and it probably will end up being outside lumix. Looking forward to see your pick.

[@Bigcookfilms]

I hope that in 2025 Lumix has a resurgence

[@MrGregRitter]

I just switched back to Lumix from Fuji for the better low light. The S1 and S5 are great value right now and I primarily shoot Real Estate stills, so AF is no big issue. I really like your POV though and appreciate you have to do what is best for you. I look forward to seeing what you create with your next system and will continue to follow your channel. Thanks for the great content!

[@Bigcookfilms]

Thanks and the S1 and S5 are great cameras in their own right.

[@xdanielpatrick]

LUMIX has some damn good cameras but you are def right about the criticisms. Feel like they are very slow to release new stuff (that their core base wants) compared to the competition. Thought the S1 II or S1H II would have been here by now and the fact that they are split between Micro four thirds and full frame with no room for growth doesn’t seem like a great move. Sony you can start with an a6000 and gradually go up to an FX6, FX9 or Burano, same with Canon you can start with an R100 and go all the way up to a C80 or a C400. I’m still using an S5II and enjoy the camera more than my past Sony cameras but long term idk feel like they aren’t providing enough confidence in the S line specifically for pros and enthusiasts. Feel like they need to step up their processors too. Don’t want LUMIX to just be a novelty brand.

[@Bigcookfilms]

I know that when they release the next S line camera it's going to be a banger. I just need something that Lumix doesn't offer at the moment

[@kameralife4817]

This is real talk. I lost a lot of cash selling my Pro S lenses going back to Canon but I make a living so had to be done. Still have 2x S1H mainly because I cant sell them for the current price used now. Lumix had enough time to sort this by now.

[@Bigcookfilms]

[@rapbisnar]

Im gonna go and guess the A7cii/fx3. With that said, all i want is a Lx100 mk iii with pdaf lol. But I do understand where you're coming from. I was gonna make a video on Panasonic and how they're going further from the competition, especially with those 2 cameras that were just announced. Honestly, all they have to do is implement the new pdaf system in their older cameras like the g85 or g100, and of course, that lx100. how possible is that is up to their team but whatever their reason is for holding back, unless its lack of physical parts, makes absolutely no sense to me.

[@cammackey]

We gang gang no matter what. In this current era of cameras.. we all have multiple needs and there’s not really just one camera that does it all. I like Sonys cause they’re work horse cameras that just get the job done but have almost zero features that speak to my artistic side. Nikon is doing some wild wild stuff rn, but similar to Sony, no open gate or features like lumix offers.. Lumix cameras are the only full frame open gate offerings with AF.. and full anamorphic support. So they win big for that and all their other almost cinema camera like features. But if any other company started to put all those features into their cameras.. lumix is gonna have to bring the heat. At the end of the day, I sadly have to operate multiple systems cause I do too much 💩 and they all require a different tool.

[@Bigcookfilms]

I feel you bro as your work and your journey speaks for itself...I don't use open gate or anamorphic so it's not that important to me. I will miss the image stabilization and the reliability in video but...My needs have changed and the features that it need aren't in Lumix cameras as of now.

Damn G, I feel ya tho. I got LUMIX and Sony

[@d.edwardsfreelanceeditorvi4212]

To be fair canon just put c log 2 in a mirrorless camera, R5ii. Everything else has been. Clog 3. Plus the overheating, battery life issues they had in the R5 and R6 was major issues. Lumix s5iix made me look at Panasonic over other brands. I’m video first and I can’t find anything that matches it outside of a cinema body. If Nikon decides to add waveforms and open gate in the z6iii I may look that way. Sony doesn’t do internal raw but they have everything else you would want.

[@Bigcookfilms]

I understand where you coming from bro...Just stick with what works for you

[@rumenalexandrov]

I don't know what is your shooting style, but I would recommend to only get 1 or 2 autofocus lens for whatever system you have and all other lenses go for EF or PL lenses, so you dont get as stuck into 1 system again. Every company has their high and low points. You also go full manual lenses and get the DJI lidar which will probably be ok for most jobs.

I could never pull the trigger on a Lumix full frame camera. I kept my GH6 along with all my Leica glass. For full frame I went with the Sony A7Cii 422 10 bit up to 60fps, I absolutely love it. Definitely go with Sony however, if you can wait for the Sony A7V to drop that camera is going to be a 🔥 hybrid.

[@bigrobotnewstoday1436]

I was in one small camera store and one of the guys said Panasonic is a hard company to do business with. If you want to carry Panasonic you have to order all the models. He did say Olympus is better to do business with and they can't order one or two models for the store. This was maybe six or seven years ago. Pioneer is another company I heard that is a pain to deal with. Back in the day I use to go to this Laser Disc store before DVD's came out as a kid. And I was asking the owner why don't you sell a few more models of Pioneer Laser Disc he said something like Pioneer wants you to order everything from them. I think he had one model and a few Pioneer speakers. I guess they gave him a break one time. These companies with this mindset I don't think are very smart. One time I went into a very small camera store and I think that store only have Canon and Sony cameras the SLT cameras this might have been 2016.

[@Bigcookfilms]

I hope that Panasonic doesn't have those types of business practices.

[@JosephAirborne]

Same thing at my local camera store said Panasonic is very difficult to work with.

[@bigrobotnewstoday1436]

@@JosephAirborne The other thing I don't like about Panasonic a lot of their cameras are buggy. GH2 banding issue at ISO 640 very hard to see but at ISO 800 and above very easy to see. Also their is a white balance shift to a very strong green so you have to play with the white balance and try and compensate for the shift. Panasonic GH4 there is a audio drift issue after about a minute or two. Panasonic GH6 there is a issue filming a window that is bright that the GH5 did not have. Panasonic G9 a real estate photographer found at ISO 200 lifting the shadows blacks turn to purple. The real estate photographer was lifting the blacks on a black couch. The fix is to use ISO 100. Panasonic S5ii and S5iiX there is a really bad lag with the electronic shutter some wildlife photographers about a 0.3 or 0.5 lag. Google S5II Electronic Shutter (30fps) Delay there is a video there to watch. Panasonic said that's the way it is. Because now they can't fix it. I think Olympus and OM Systems are better then Panasonic. I do own the Olympus OMD E-M1ii. Never used Leica but I hope they are less buggy than Panasonic.

[@sdhute]

Lumix deploys the Kaizen methodology. They add features as time goes on. Where Sony, canon, Nikon will make you buy another camera for the upgrade. Lumix just adds those for free in firmware. I’ve left but always come back. Only thing Interesting me now is Nikon

[@Bigcookfilms]

Nikon have been updating their z9 and Z8, Canon have been updating their cameras also. Lumix is great with firmware update.

Lumix has not have first a upgrade path from S5 to the S1, S1R, S1H, second an upgrade path from complete entry level camera in the L-mount to S5, third they don’t have a high speed L mount camera and telephoto lenses. The fifth problem is the 1.4 and 1.2 primes. All above in a very competitive FF market.

[@thestudioexposed]

Unless Lumix is giving you money, have no loyalty! And that means no loyalty to any of these brands. Rock out with what makes capturing content easiest and gives you the visuals you aspire to share. Have no loyalty goes towards everything, shoes, clothes, cars, airlines, etc. It's all based around consumerism and we vote with our dollars. Sony, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, even OM-Systems, each offer something for someone at various price points. Find what makes YOU happy and rep THAT gang! And if they make you unhappy, don't be pressed- just be out and onto the next. I started in film with Minolta (film), moved to Nikon (film), then Canon (digital) switched to Panasonic real quick and now I'm sitting in Sony's camp using their flagship and I'm super content. Of course, all of this is over the course of 25+ years so I don't want you to think I'm a madman but what I am doing is sharing based on experience- you've gotta go with what works for you and makes your work shine. Right now for me, it's Sony. And I'm willing to bet it'll be Sony for you as well. Best of luck switching gangs :)

Notta lumix shooter anymore. Started with a g7 then moved to the canon rp now shooting on the r5c. And on a spec point I feel like there’s a lot of things that Lumix is doing right. Like I’ve considered buying a s5iix I was a primarily county shooter. Because if you compare Lumix to Sony Canon Nikon, they’re the only manufacturer that gives you shutter angle open gate recording recording to an external SSD. All features that I wish other companies would put in their products not this point the only thing you’re missing I feel is a camera with a very sensitive sensor like 12,800 ISO

[@Joshua-McField]

I say all this and I know the camera isn’t perfect, but it has been a consideration, weak points for me is HDMI lag and minimal upgrade path. Honestly I’m hoping to see a new Panasonic cinema camera within the next two years. Panasonic is wasting their time. And I hope they put it in the hands of a director of photography that can make a movie with it to give it like the same recognition as the FX3 because there’s no reason why its cant

I don't blame you brother, stay at the top, but then the top is ARRI, lol... Can't wait to see you there, and YES YOU CAN. On the side of Lumix: The thing about giving Lumix up is: STONEWALL RELIABLITY... If you're in certain genres ie.. Weddings, un-repeatable events, you would be HARD pressed to find any other Camera system that won't EVER over heat, keep color fidelity throughout the iso range etc. I still have ONE of my GH5s and it won't EVER leave my dead cold hands, LOL. Why? Because it never fails, AND has a very long battery life, and it just so happens to produce great results. But you're RIGHT, Lumix been BULLSHITTIN with the AF, and now everyone else has closed the gap on Lumix's 10-bit and 4k no-crops. Problem with the S-series is: NO LENSES. And that my friend, is a gap they will NEVER close. Any modern filmmaker[I hate that term], is going to own at LEAST one Sony these days. It's actually a SURPRISE that Lumix was able to catch Sony SLEEPING in 2017, well, CLEARLY, Sony said bump that, we will Run Lumix over, and HAS. Caveat is this: Price Point - No one does what Lumix does FOR THE PRICE.

You're right about reliability in video I thought about this before I sold my lumix camera and I'm thinking about getting a GH5 for nostalgic purposes. I don't really record long form content (I just finished my contract with a podcast) so I'm good with my decision moving forward.

Thanks brother I appreciate the support

[@highlycreativedigital5472]

Bro, we are spoiled. but in practical use, I don't care. lumix looks better than Sony. Dule pixel AF. make the s5xii the best budget highbride. Right now, what do your lenses look like?

[@Bigcookfilms]

I had the S Pro 24-70mm f2.8, S Pro 70-200mm f2.8, 18mm f1.8, and the 85mm f1.8

Hmmm .......Could it be Nikon ? lol

[@Bigcookfilms]

If you don't know by now stay tuned!

[@MadefromJava]

The cliff hanger at the end 🔥 interested to see the chapter in your journey. If I had to take a guess, I think you went with the Nikon Z6 iii or maybe Z8.

[@Bigcookfilms]

Thanks brother and maybe you're right. Hopefully you'll stick around to find out?

Much respect

[@Hexlord]

That's a pretty dramatic way of switching system. Hope you come back one day (from the sample photos/videos you posted up, I don't see any autofocus issues you mentioned) and hopefully get less influenced by all the marketing nonsense. You do you.

[@Bigcookfilms]

Those videos were from my S5ii which have great autofocus. I was speaking about the older models like the GH5, S1, and S5 OG.

[@Hexlord]

@@Bigcookfilms yes those are indeed the older models but the other brands ain't doing shit about their older lineups as well.

[@Bigcookfilms]

I was making the reference to why I started LumixGang. The older models were relevant

[@MrJapanforce]

Nothing can beat lumix. Especially for those who know. Proud user of Lumix cameras since 2008. Never looked back. So sorry for all those toxic haters

[@Bigcookfilms]

No need to apologize for others...Lumix have the best price to performance midrange cameras imo. My needs are changing so I have to go with my needs

[@bigrobotnewstoday1436]

KZbinr Justin Porter Media said he likes Nikon the best for wedding filmmaking and he really likes the Nikon 24-120mm f4. He made a really good video why he likes Nikon and its not a fanboy video just facts. Also I don't even own a Nikon camera.
