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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
