panasonics marketing dept decided to employ a load of youtube shills to tell us how much fun panasonic is. the maketing team need cleared out and people with integrity brought in. if they made a camera with amazing specs , they wouldnt need all these shills with silly beards , awful tatts ans silly looking baseballcaps - the shills are so uncool, at the recent lumix events it looked like it was a homeless/ s3x offender day trip. creepy looking bunch of degenerates that makes me not want to be part of any lumix collective. they have an image issue

[@CelticCameras]

why do all the lumix shills / creators on these launch videos all look like they are in need of a good wash and shave. like a homeless / weirdo convention. then the tattoos , lumix need to review the optics on their shills... if you are unkempt and have bad tattoos then lumix want to recruit you to shill hard for them, heck, they will even give you a hat to hide your baldness

[@IsawUupThere]

I like Panasonic because they don't treat their customers like idiots. You get waveforms, shutter angle, vlog, prores(!). Their mid-level cameras feel like professional gear, whereas something like a Canon R8 feels like a pos that you want to immediately upgrade. I had the original G9 and am still holding on to the GX80 and i don't understand what the issue is supposed to be with the AF. If you're in AFS, DFD works as good as anything else, and the new ones have phase detect. I just shot dragonflies in flight today with my G9II. Yesterday I shot bee eaters. Yet some of you out there can't seem to get your dog in focus. The lenses are ridiculously cheaper and lighter. I found the 200mm f2.8 for $750. A 400mm f5.6 for FF is at least 3x that without a TC. Same story with a lot of other lenses. Dollar for dollar it's an extremely hard to beat system. I travel with a backpack and to me, being able to save 1kg on my camera gear is absolutely huge.

[@OfficialSushiSystemAmbassador]

I have to agree. MFT is a great system!

[@Bill-NM]

DFD works great for afs and stills, it's the continuous AF that gives people fits.

[@e.adeloye]

I have the S5IIX And I agree that Panasonic offer more bang for buck than any camera within its price range. I think the problem with them as a company is: 1. They are relatively slow to adapt to the industry. I saw an interview wherein a representative explained their slow adoption of the PDAF was because they wanted to see the limits of contrast detect. While in spirit that is a good idea, I think pushing the tech should be in response to market and not a desire to just maximise a value without any single customer in mind. 2. I think their marketing is honestly their biggest hurdle to their success. Sony makes sure to put these cameras in front of big names, doing big projects and for the life of me, I can't remember seeing that from Panasonic at all. 3. I think the master of all situation doesn't really allow them to have that one thing they can always say "we are the best at" besides stabilisation. Which is nice, but it's not enough for people to leave eco-systems. I think they should really be pushingthe convenience and adaptability of the camera more than anything else

[@DocBoA]

I’m renting this camera right now and am disappointed in the af. I will try af-s for a few days. Thanks for the tip

[@IsawUupThere]

@@DocBoA If you don't need AFC, I would always go to AFS because it focuses faster. That said, AFC has worked well enough for me so far for burst shooting and for video. I took a 1min clip of two dragonflies fucking through the reeds today, and it held onto them for the entire time. 🤗 If you have it on all focus points, it might get distracted, but with single point plus or focus groups it has worked for me. And if you have it on animal detect, it will not detect humans properly. You have to tell it what you want it to detect.

They look horrible because of the fast post processing that they have to do on those they: do them in real time, the actual sensor is the same as the GH5, so that’s what it’s capable of but to get the image out and processed immediately they’re probably compressing the snot out of it

Panasonic has been slow to realize what people want. Now with PDAF, new m43 sensor, affordable FF cameras, and good selection of glass, they have potential to do even better than the competition. They did stub their toe on the S9 though when it could have REALLY been a hit. Still with the GH7, hopefully an updated S1R and new small M43 bodies the future could be very bright.

The Panasonic S9 is the new, hottest camera displacing the Fuji X100VI. The S9 is the camera all of us have been aspiring towards. I have preordered one.

One thing Panny doesn't get enough credit for is the USB-C SSD recording. They probably weren't the first, but that feature is to me very very overlooked. Sure it's annoying having to mount it somehow, but most people put small cages on their cameras anyway. It gets you away from expensive media with small storage sizes and can get most around the need for an external recorder, providing you don't need BRAW (just convert Pro Res to CDNG if you want to use DaVinci).

Plus, the menu system and customization is super intuitive and it doesn't have any head-scratching UI choices. But, I feel you on pretty much every point made about the company. They especially need to revamp their marketing, for sure. They really aren't getting the love they deserve, but at the same time, I understand the branding perceptions. Fortunately, that doesn't affect how my photos turn out. I apologize to everyone that i just offended with my love of the Lumix :D

Panasonic MFT is where they should be focusing (rimshot) imo at least for their shooter-centric stuff. The G100 and GX series are wonderful portable cameras, let down only by aged sensor tech... if they'd update MFT bodies to new sensors with PDAF alongside something like a 14-90mm f1.8 travel zoom I wouldn't even think before buying it. The error they made was thinking they could outshoot the big three on full frame, without the tech to actually compete. I actually agree the best split would be FF-video centric for creators alongside MFT-photo centric for travel shooters and ageing hipsters.

I shoot weddings, so I want a camera that doesn't put a lot of work into color correction. and Panasonic delivers that. And as they said in the comments, I don't know what the Panasonic heating icon looks like, as for the Sony one, I got tired of seeing it.

[@shinzouproductions8770]

I own the VariCam LT and I still think it's one of the best (albeit chunky) cinema cameras on the market. The lowlight is absolutely STELLAR and I love the color rendering from the sensor. I compared it to the S5IIX and I'd still take the LT sensor over it (granted I'd also take the GH5 sensor look over the S5IIX, the reds are oversaturated in my opinion). I wish Panasonic would forget photo (for now) and go all in as a video camera company. They already make some of the best broadcast cameras on the market. Fly with it!

[@alexsystems2001]

The thing that disappoints me so much about Panasonic is that I bought my GH5 in I think 2018. The autofocus was slightly poor in 2018. So lumix didn’t listen and released the GH5 II, then they released the GH6 and STILL no autofocus fix. So I was vested in the lenses and batteries and XLR adapter kit. Lenses aren’t cheap. So after the GH6 I gave up on Panasonic and sold all my micro 4/3s stuff. Why didn’t they do this years ago? Why did they screw their fan base that were just waiting for a GH5 with fixed autofocus?

[@zetacrucis681]

Love my cosmetically subpar optically superb Nikon 85mm f/1.8 G. Best 130 quid ever spent. Gets lovely sharp clean images wide open in low light. At that focal length 1.8 is probably max tonehage for practical use that still keeps enough of the subject in focus. Wide aperture is for gathering more light not for taking blurry photos 😜

[@SMGJohn]

Panasonic is a great system, for 99% its far more then they deserve. I do agree that no AF in high frame rate modes is nonsense cripple, the sensor does top out in 4k120p though its not capable of anything higher, but guess what! The Olympus OM-1 sensor is actually capable of 4k480p, ridicules of Panasonic to not use that 20mp stacked sensor, its actually 80 megapixels pixel binned to 20mp, although 80 megapixels firing off at 480fps gonna require some cooling and processing power.

Consumers have less spending money.

Comparing the footage from the Canon R8/85mm in beautiful light vs the Zf/85mm in shitty light only shows how much more important lighting is than the camera/lens combo.

Liki... I love my panasonic G9 and its amazing...

[@solarion33]

only review models got around so far so I'll wait to see new owners using it , There's still a lot of people with mft glass so it will appeal to them first and foremost , but there's also many affordable mft cinema lenses nowadays. also you don't need a gimbal for it which is a big selling point , and beside the additional audio unit and a mic you don't need any more gear to produce some serious video with its internal storage nowadays many places will require a filming license if you show up with a bulky filming setup. with mft you can even get away with a long zoom lens .. so street shooters will also love it for the photography side. the only compromise is depth of field and low light which doesn't seem all too bad by the few tests I've seen but a fast lens can cure that. In many ways its much better then the fx30 which has terrible and unusable stabilization.

[@БольшойБратухин]

I love Panasonic. Love its colors. But now shoot on Nikon Z8 'cuz of N-RAW😊

[@bobtronic73]

The Nikkor 85mm 1.8 G is a nice lens. I had it for my old Nikon DSRLs. Good price and image quality and fairly light. Not sure about 3D pop though :) I think the 85mm Z lens has a bit more contrast. Not sure if that is worth the price though.

[@bailey.nt86]

I never had a bad shoot with the 85mm f/1.8g for what it is, and the price. It's a beautiful lens. I never thought " gee i really should have got the f/1.4 g instead." It's not super bad for video either on a Z body. Nikon never replaced the 135mm f/2 DC FX with a G version cause that lens was that damn good. It won't autofocus on Z bodies because it doesn't have a built-in autofocus motor. If you would like an autofocus 135mm on a Z body, your only option is the $2,500 "plena" which is a real shame.

[@oliverdesouza5741]

The 85mm f1.8 looked fine, but the f1.4 is better pop-wise. You don't need the 1.2 unless you are doing lots of portrait work on the side. Obviously, a 50mm is better for full body shots. It also looks like you were in Rich Tone Portrait for the outdoor shots. Standard, Portrait or Neutral would be better to reduce the saturation a bit.

[@hotfootrabbit]

Wow this one is really ruffling the Panny boy's feathers in the comments.🤣 Some people take it so personal when you get critical of their chosen brand. If a particular system is working for YOU and it's putting food on your table then who cares what others think. Like I would pick up the S5 IIX in a heart beat because it straight up kicks ass when it comes the video features and at $500 less than the A7IV like what? False colour, BRaw external recording. Yes please! However when it's comes to actually using it on jobs I do, it some how manages the to fall short in the odd areas. Like you lose phase detect autofocus in HD 120. Huh? No 4k 120? Okay fine 4k 60 then but it has a 1.5 crop. We got 6k open gate but no 4k 120 and cropped 4k60. Why Panny why? You were so close. With the Sony APSCs FX30/A6700 I get my high frames including HD 240 but lose all the pro video features. Like how they gonna call the FX30/3 cinema cameras and as of writing there's no shutter angle? They took the resources to implement that junk focus mapping mode but no waverform, false color or vector scope? All we go for exposure are the zebras because that histogram just trash. Sony why you make us suffer like this? Damn I went straight rant mode just now lol

[@djvidual8288]

I just started getting into cameras and a friend of mine recommended your channel to me. I don't understand your 3D pop stuff you are continuesly talking about. Isn't that just how much light gets in the cam like shallowness of the depth of field? I like your weirdness/style and that you test all the stuff yourself, but there are a lot of times, where I can't follow xD

We shot a movie called "Anni3" coming soon, with Lumix S5II X and Sony A7S III; the image of Lumix is much better. V-log is much better than Log 3. The image is more cinematic. Sony doesn’t even have waveforms. KZbinrs don't understand it. You have to ask a filmmaker. And I have a lot more to add.

[@PossumReviews]

The S9 is the dumbest product since the G100.

[@ipti8]

I went Panasonic because no one wants them. I am happy with my super budget GH4 (2014) setup, provided I do not use autofocus. To learn, experiment, and create on a budget the used Panasonic market is good, mostly because, well, other brands are better and preferred. That said, my GH4 can do things that a GoPro or my phone can't do and I appreciate it greatly. Also, if someone tries to grab it I laugh and say good luck pawning that shit dude! Well, aside from if you are adding Leica lens, but I am not there yet.

How does astrology work if the sky is a dome? You spent the first min or two bragging that you're "sponsored by the people" when the big brands won't deal with you then you shit on Panasonic for almost the same thing? This channel should be called Camera Contradictions. As for Panasonic; they're in a better place now (at least with the hardware they sell) than they've been in a long time. They offer more for less (for the most part). If they spent an unreasonable amount of money advertising, they'd have to charge Sony and Canon prices.

[@jessejayphotography]

Camera stores are not a good metric for camera sales. People that want a Panasonic know why they want one.

[@kazino21]

Thinking to ditch all my older 6D canon FF DSLR and L lenses along with or my Olympus M4T kit (just impossible to get a very shallow depth of field and bokeh, even a F1.0 is f2, on FF so many reasonable priced options for 1.8 or larger aperture) for Fuji (for the hands on experience, getting shallow dof seems unnecessarily expensive compared to FF though) or FF Panasonic (for the Leica lite look fairly priced FF lenses in DOF terms). What a lovely choice to have from Panasonic

This is BY FAR your worst video ever. Shame on you. Panasonic is the videographer's only real friend on the market. They're a onemanband camera man's dream.. They are the only ones that give you the specs and analytical tools of a first class cinema camera. I agree they were late on phase detect, but when they did it they did it right, and the AF is excellent and utterly dependable. One more iteration and they will surpass Sony AF. Note Gerald Undone's recent videos of the GH7. It's a sterling review, as were those on the S5ii. And the S5 and S5II have wonderful images with stellar stabilizatoin. The cameras are totally fluid to use, and supremely programmable. I could NEVER go back to using Sony, with their weird colors and horrific menus, and shaky stabilization, or Canon---a company that manifestly HATES hybrid cameras and hybrid camera shooters, and they constantly punish video shooters. They continually cripple their hybrid cameras and try to force you into their ultra high priced, studio-limited cinema cameras. Big money, lean in specks. Try to get a simple white balance on a Canon camera---get my point. You start shooting in the early morning, and by evening you're still trying to get the white balance. Horrible. And they continue to do this model after model. They care nothing about you but to take your money, with their overprices garbage. And resale value?!?!? You lose thousand of dollars on their cinema models. I recently purchased a C300 mk ii for $2000.00. Original cost? $16,000.00. Absorb that depreciation on your budget! Panasonic doesn't do anything of the sort. They're the best value BY fAR on the video market. They're a great company, and they seem to be carrying on the Kaizen philosophy fuji has abandoned. Their cameras are reliable and the best, their v-log is a dream to edit. Compare that to S-Log as you tear your hair out to try to make it look anything that's remotely natural. Sony never looks right, and it's almost impossible to figure out what's exactly wrong with it.. As for you, just wait until Hell freezes over before you see C4k in a Canon or Sony camera. Not that it matters, since their hand held footage is totally useless and impossible to grade. I wouldn't shoot my kids 5 year birthday party on a Sony---if I had one. (A 5 year old, that is.) Shame on you, biting the hand and tearing down on the only camera company that feeds the needs of the video shooter. Have you ever seen the Panasonic FB page? It's filled with video shooters. REAL video guys, who are not so crazy to demand 960 slow-mo. Then look at the others, and all you find there are pixel peepers obsessing over their boring photos. You have better content that this! If I were you, I would apologize to Panasonic for being so viciously unfair to the brand and the company. Come up with some appreciation for Panasonic's efforts, which are consistently better and better. Even the S9 is good for those it is made for. And, bye the way, there's such bad information on this video on Panasonic I'd strike it from my content. Shame on you!

It's sad because Panasonic cameras are magic when you know how to use them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJikl5xpZs6iodUsi=67n5s07MTQ1pvwpK - skip to 4 minutes into that video for the otters. Voigtländer 60mm f/0.95 lens. Panasonic MFT user for 10 years with the best lenses ... not a system hopper ... if Panasonic kills their camera business I'll shoot on the system until my cameras and lenses fall apart. I watched the whole video, that stock image used from Nikon will hurt them, and they do need better marketing. Regardless, I love their cameras and will not settle for the mediocre video features the other systems offer.

@@adidabax6809 lol I’m not pressed about the camera. I don’t want it. But for any industry, the best way to grab market share when you’re newer is to offer a highly competitive price.

[@bloodmoney88]

I think, as an amateur, the visuals have met my expectations and surpassed them in most cameras. Finding the best... is it worth the hunt? I'd just like a fair priced unit that can film in 1080... 4k, I'm 60 I can't even see it, so I do not need it, nor want it as if I even wanted 4k I haven't the computer power to edit anything of size... and internet publishing... youtube in Australia, because... Australia, download speeds... speed is a lie. If I try to watch youtube above 720 it chunks spits & farts. I watch you in 720 fine.

[@alexsystems2001]

The other disappointment that strayed me away from the Panasonic full frame cameras is their lack of good native glass. EVERY other brand has a 16-35 F2.8 native glass. However Panasonic has the crappy 16-35 F4… come on Panasonic… I don’t want to get a sigma, I want a bag full of Panasonic glass and their S1 series, NOT a single of them has good autofocus. So you’ll have to buy non native glass with a poor autofocusing camera. The business model doesn’t make any sense. Then they sabotage their own products, if you bought a S1, the S5II is almost better in every way. I understand offering more bang for your buck BUT why would you offer the S5II before you released the S1II or the S1HII, you know?

[@ScreenFiends]

There could certainly be more native glass, but to say the native glass they have is poor is abject nonsense. The 50mm f1.4 pro is one of the best lenses I have ever used on any system, they have two 70-200 (an f/4 and 4/2.8) thier line up of f/1.8 primes are some of the most well thought out lenses avaible, ranging from 18mm to 85mm with the same size, weight and dimensions, their lenses have some of the best breathing correction, meaning there is no need for the camera to fix this issue in the camera. Also the S5II came out 4 years after the S1, it should be better than the S1. The S1II will be better than the S5II, welcome to cameras 101. I will admit though, that keeping users waiting such a long time for the S1 evolution is highly frustrating. Once a reasonably priced camera comes out that features everything I need, I will be buying that system, regardless of brand. The Nikon ZIII is sounding promising.
