Agreed, the OG got that image quality.

[@LumixGang]

Yeah, now I realize why Panasonic always told us that phase detect autofocus degrades image quality.

[@BarryJohnson]

@@LumixGang Yep, they had been saying it. It's all good the vlog still looks great.

[@LumixGang]

Yeah and the convenience is top notch.

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.

[@LumixGang]

You made a good decision holding on to your S5 OG it's a great camera. Let me know how the firmware version test works out #LumixGang

[@dubscee6472]

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.

[@LumixGang]

No problem!!! The S5 is a great camera and I use it more than my S5ii on things outside of KZbin. #LumixGang

[@jungleboy1]

Loving it, cheers brotha from the UK!

[@LumixGang]

Thanks, I really appreciate it! I hope that you stick around for more content.

[@karikaru]

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

[@LumixGang]

I love my S5ii and I would choose it over my S5 OG 95% of the time. But budget is a big factor for most people and like you say the S5 OG used is an insane deal at the moment. #LumixGang

[@A1Bokeh]

Let's goooooo

[@LumixGang]

Let's get it!!!

[@daprincehwc]

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.

[@LumixGang]

No subs you're Gang bro!!! I feel you on the image quality difference and the S5 being a camera that you just want to take with you...My S5 is with me right now 😂😂😂 Thanks again for stopping by and checking out the video.

[@jockturner1547]

I do wish the s5 had the all-I codecs the s5iix has though…

[@NkProdTV]

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!

[@LumixGang]

Thanks I appreciate it. When I had an S5 the first time I had a Blackmagic video assist and the image was top notch

[@RoostersRoadTripsCo]

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

[@LumixGang]

I wanted the GH6 but I didn't want to have different mounts so I got another S5 OG

[@GideonNtxbeni]

#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.

[@LumixGang]

Yeah the S5 OG is special. I'm not letting this one go. Thanks bro and I know that you're going to love the S5 iix when you get it.

[@yosuhanverdecia]

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

[@LumixGang]

Thanks bro! I can't wait to see what the S1H ii brings to the table. I will upgrade to it down the line but I'm not in a rush. I can't wait to see what you create with it bro. Subbed!

[@yosuhanverdecia]

Thanks man !!!!!

[@LumixGang]

​@@yosuhanverdeciaNo problem

[@unmannedflight]

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]

Thanks! To be honest I think that the image quality wouldn't change much if any at all.

[@antriusellington8508]

Great comparison brother.

[@LumixGang]

Thanks brother! I appreciate it 💪🏿

[@marinrealestatephotography]

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.

[@LumixGang]

No problem bro and V Log in to S5 ii is ok but the other profiles not so much. I had the Blackmagic video assist 12g when I had the S5 OG the first time and the BRAW image quality is nice. I may get it again if I can find one at a decent price also. Thanks for watching and commenting on the video! #LumixGang

[@marinrealestatephotography]

@@LumixGang Thanks for the confirmation that on the S5II the V-LOG is ok. Yeah, the worst looking sample footage had been shot in the standard picture profiles. In reality, I try to shoot in V-LOG 95% of the time, but there are certain times that you got to just turn around quickly. Thanks again.

[@LumixGang]

No problem and I mostly shoot in V Log also but I used to love Cine D2 on the S5 also. #LumixGang ​@marinrealestatephotography

[@itsstyles493]

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

[@LumixGang]

Yeah the OG's autofocus is good for most situations. #LumixGang

[@iamzr81]

Help me G. What is the best AF setting for the OG S5? I am struggling with it in video mode like hell. Always loses focus. I shoot models all the time and when I have the focus and go closeer or further with human/eye detect AF I cannot go that slow to never lose focus of the face, however I only take a few steps further or behind.

[@baihu4u]

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

[@LumixGang]

That’s a great combo. Thanks for watching bro!

[@Aviciiz]

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

[@LumixGang]

Yeah bro...It was like that on my multi cam videos also. I always have to darken the images on the S5ii to match the S5 OG

[@witheverybreath]

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.

[@LumixGang]

It was at 2.8 @24mm lol

[@witheverybreath]

@@LumixGangthe shots of your son with the ball, why are the backgrounds in all those shots so in focus? I am curious as I am on the verge of purchasing one of these bodies.

[@LumixGang]

Maybe it was the distance between him and the camera

[@game2572]

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

[@LumixGang]

Yeah but to be honest I think that they should’ve just made the S5ii x and not the S5ii even though I love my S5ii

[@troyhanzgrees]

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

[@LumixGang]

Thanks brother! I'm reconstructing my ig it'll be back up soon.

[@iammz81]

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

[@LumixGang]

It sure does.

[@A1Bokeh]

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

[@LumixGang]

That's what what I thought also. The image looks brighter on the ii.

[@A1Bokeh]

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

[@LumixGang]

Lol, I know bro...You were always an S5 hater😂😂😂
