[@nelsdawgy]

I bought this camera and Panasonic gave me the camera at 25% off so I could do a short film for them... LOVE this camera!!!

[@TheLostKuma]

This is actually very in-depth. Going to have to watch it more properly at home after work... I'm really glad to see the 4k live crop has made it over... wasn't able to find if it had or not. I didn't even know it existed until watching one of your gh5 videos to begin with. 8 more days til that s1h rental.

[@christaylorphoto]

Fantastic video, thank you so much. I've been using the S1H since Dec 2019 and still picked up some tips from this. Loving your work!

[@JonackFilm]

I have this camera since 2 months now. It is amazing

[@robinmordasiewicz]

I can’t stop loving your new aesthetic, but I repeat myself.

[@gibblsworthiscool]

the waveform monitor being set to one of the top function keys can help easily measure levels in the foreground and background and provides a ton of live information that may help expose better than the exposure meter tool.

[@zacredacted2137]

You are very good at staying right in front of that backlight lol. New set up looks really nice 👍🏻.

[@labrow]

I love this. So much love and enthusiasm. I’ve just got the S1H after years of Canon and I’m blown away. I got so much from this video, thanks.

[@KeithsTVHD1]

How are you liking the Panasonic so far?

[@labrow]

@@KeithsTVHD1 Very much. I'm massively impressed by how well aligned to video this is, rather than it feeling like a bolt-on. No need to wade through menu options that aren't relevant to you. Lots of well thought-out features and little touches. It does't have the quick and sure autofocus of the Canon, but I knew that in advance and it's not a deal-breaker.

[@markspinks9998]

Awesome 🤘 I just Bought the S1H .....thanks for the video

[@MichaelJLong]

The ability to set shutter angle would be so huge. Nice vid. Thanks for sharing!

[@followtheboat]

Just watching as I type this so maybe you'll cover it anyway but my most used feature on the GH5 is to assign focus lock to the front function button. Put the camera in MF, point at your subject and hit that function button. It focuses faster than AF and locks in, to be overridden by the focus ring when needed. This trick is particularly useful when talking to camera. Hold the camera out in front of you and that function button is easy to hit before hitting record. I used this as a workaround to the GH5's dodgy AF but now I use it all the time, always stay in MF and never miss a shot. I'm loving your clips on the S1H because it's a beast of a camera. My only concern is the size for vlogging. I moved from FF to m43 for this reason but miss the low light capabilities. Keep up the great work.

[@DonAbaddonn]

Excellent info my dude. So under-rated video.. come on YT algo.. do your magic !!

[@markattardo]

It makes me happy to see the hotshoe cover is in it's proper place😁 Even though this is about the beast, the GH5 is killing it! You really have the studio setup dialed in.👍👍 Oh yeah, good tips too.

[@TheEverydayDad]

Thanks Mark! Yeah I’m really liking how it turned out 😁👍

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

@@TheEverydayDad We are all waiting for you to test the Fimi palm and 360 ONE R !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VS GP 8

[@aerofart]

TED, I’m enjoying to see you excited about the S1H and being how much you love the GH5 (as do I), I am far more likely to trust your opinions of the S1H. But the reason I was motivated to comment today is how excited you are about discovering the cinema info and control screen on the S1H. I kid you not, I just discovered it’s usefulness myself on the GH5 after owning it for a year. It’s an amazing feature that just has NO EQUAL in video shooting found in any other prosumer cam (e.g. BMPCC 4K/6k, ZCam, etc). Eureka!

[@georgenada6413]

Glad to hear you like the v-log so much on this camera and that is seems to be the full version. I have it on the GH-5 and have always found it, like many others, kind of broken! I don't even even up using it.

[@bobbeaman1]

Love your channel, bud. Let us know when you come back down here with the rest of us where you started. ;-)

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Thumbnail looks good!

[@TheEverydayDad]

Thanks! I got nervous and switched it out for a minute but it’s back in force 😅

[@ThisIsTechToday]

@@TheEverydayDad ah, you got rid of the one with you in it?!

[@didriketholm6852]

I'm a recent convert from Sony. Got the S5 and I'm loving it so far. I got the camera for photography because of their super res mode, 6k/4k photo and most importantly the live composite mode. I'm just scratching the surface on this camera.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Epic video Everday Dad! Just ordered an S1H! Does the S1 have live cropping as well? I couldn’t find it

[@TheEverydayDad]

The S1H does the S1 doesn’t 👍

[@Arri.]

Thank you sir life saviour😊

[@DreamingJaguars]

Hey dude great video man that display menu is awesome!! Game changer👌 can I ask? I’ve custom set my luminance spot meter but how do I make it bigger??? Yours looks about three times the size of mine?? (There’s a joke there??) Many thanks dude!!

[@WinslowLincoln]

Enjoy your presentations. When using the internal intervalometer, does the constant preview still work?

[@rdfilms.]

It can also shoot 1080p @ 120fps with sound and AF ( please search it in codecs lineup FHD options) Love the camera!

[@BadKarma714]

I got a lumix G7 and I love it I just wish I could get a monitor to work on it while recording

[@BobbyWashingtonvlog]

Hey EVD, do you know how to use timecode with a field mixer like the Mix-Pre 6ii?

[@itsmepandey_]

Thanks

[@richardwhitfill5253]

Gary. I.enjoy watching your videos even if I'm not going to buy the camera. I bought a gh5 and a sony. a 7 iii based on your presentations. Richard in Dallas , Texas.

[@simblethings]

Constant preview being off gives a more DSLR-like experience, which can be good for a lot of people switching to mirrorless. I have constant preview on a shortcut button on my GH5.

[@JayHawkins]

Do you have a video going into more detail on the Ninja V + iPad setup you're using here?

[@thirdGenX]

Hi TED, can you use the camera (video recording) while charging via external power banks through that usb c port?

[@tysonmurray4318]

Awesome video! Do you see yourself using the Panasonic Eva1?

[@TheEverydayDad]

I’d give it a shot if I could get ahold of one, but I actually really like the form factor of hybrid cameras 👍

[@tysonmurray4318]

@@TheEverydayDad I love my Sony FS5 but I dislike the slog. The V log sounds interesting. Thanks for the video.

[@pecx86]

What do you think about new Panasonic HC-X2000?

[@RJinspire]

That's a beast of a camera, thanks for this video. How heavy is the camera and is it worth considering for a solo travelling vlogger?

[@TheEverydayDad]

I mean it’s pretty big, if you are used to big cameras with iffy autofocus then go for it. But I will stick with my GH5 if weight is an issue 👍

[@RJinspire]

@@TheEverydayDad, GH5 costs around $2,000 😱😂, I'm a backpacker solo travel vlogger😱😂. I need a lot of help (donations) to get any camera that's over $1000

[@weedanwine]

@@RJinspire You'd be better off with something like the M50 for traveling with.

[@RJinspire]

@@weedanwine I'm looking for one at the moment. Canon G7 Mark III is a bit too expensive. I've read many reviews and this channel has been brilliant on giving a full review on the M50, thanks

[@weedanwine]

@@RJinspire If you really wanted to go small then you could get a Sony X3000 or GoPro. But M50 gives you more flexibility and can be used as a studio cam when you're not travelling too. There should be some good deals on the M50 if you get it used. i bought the GH5 for £2500 with 3 lenses, but I use it more as a studio cam with occasional outdoor filming. It's not what I would choose to take backpacking with me.

[@JesseGollCodes]

Man, that shutter angle feature looks amazing, and it has a flippy screen? It's like Panasonic was listening to content creators when they designed the S1h

[@TheEverydayDad]

If only it didn’t weigh more then the rest of my camera gear put together 🤣

[@JesseGollCodes]

Hahaha, yeah it is a beast to carry, I remember how heavy it felt compared to my A7III w/24-105 f/4 when I tested the S1h in August. But for all those features and the built-in cooling fan there had to be a trade-off somewhere. It's still lighter than my old A77II with the battery grip installed, so that's a win right?

[@JesseGollCodes]

@koma yes, yes I do, I want a flippy screen, 4k 60, 10bit 4:2:2, full frame, good reliable autofocus, good low-light performance, good battery life, at least 2 UHS-II slots, and under 5lbs. That's not too much to ask right?

[@KeyboardScraps]

You should check out the GX85!

[@berelentless2572]

TEDD, will you review anymore Nikon cameras in the future

[@mikemcglasson1286]

So, if I use the crop modes, I'll be able to use lenses that don't cover the full frame censor?

[@thefilmmaker84]

Hi, can you help me please, I have the S1H, and I'm having trouble trying to figure it out the value from custom white balance that I shot the grey card. Is that possible to know the value? (To add the same WB value in another camera)

[@fredericlauwaert9246]

I have a question, do you have tip for picture profile on nikon Z6. For concert videos, wb etc, (best filming in flat or neutral)? :) To do not too much color grading after, i film in 4K/30 and 25. Sh1 is for when i can make pro videos, in some years lol Greets.

[@EdStarkey]

Another tip is you can program your button just by doing a long press. But the big update is high frame rate mode. Where VFR records in 8-bit with no audio or autofocus, HFR mode records 10-bit and it lets you record 1080p at 120 fps with audio and autofocus! You have to do the slowdown in post, but all the frames are there.

[@BNC593]

Thanks for this excellent review. Only something I’d like to clear up. You mention to use Luminance spot meter and to expose for 0 Stops for skin with this tool. I do not suggest this since 0 Stops with this tool equates to 42 IRE. This is underexposed for skin tones. I’ve hearing shoot for 55 IRE ( 55- 60 for fair skin). The Vlog 0 Stop exposure is for the typical 18% gray card (40-42 IRE). I don’t own the SH1 ( wish I did, LOL), but I do own the S5 with the same sensor and similar feature set less the internal 6K and a few other goodies.

[@clifftotten7609]

As a former 25 year Sony shooter, I friggin' LOVE the S1. There is only one thing I would it could do. When running under auto shutter or auto iris or auto gain/ISO....the S1 HIDES what settings it is using. Sony's never do that. Sony's will always show what auto parameter it is using at the moment in real time. C'mon, Lumix,....stop covering that info up and just display it for us! Great video!

[@MichaelJLong]

Also the horizon scope on the display makes it feel like you’re flying a plane. And let’s be honest, pilots are just cool.

[@donnalanataheath3152]

Do you live in Ohio? I notice your rock the OSU hat a lot. It also looked like you were MTB at East Fork State Park.

[@Ryan-Payne]

You actually don't need the VFR mode on the S1H, it's my favourite part. The S1H allows you to record up to 120 FPS with audio in the 4:2:0 10 bit h265 codec which you then interpret down to 24p in your NLE. - [FHD] 1920x1080 119.88p, 150Mbps (4:2:0 10-bit LongGOP)* If you want over 120 then you'l have to downgrade but when you can get 120p 10bit why would anyone go beyond?
