Panasonic S5 II - Review and Comparison to Sony A7IV

Lumix S5 II is Panasonic's first camera with Phase detection autofocus, which takes future Lumix cameras to a new level. In this video we take a look at the features, how they perform, what I do and don't like and also how Lumix S5 mark 2 compares to Sony A7IV.

[@sstteevveenn77]

This camera is objectively a better video camera than the A74 and its cheaper too. The AF might not be as good but it will improve with updates. Almost all other specs are either on par with the a74 or just plain better (like ibis, exposure tools, resolution options, & other menu options). I'm a Sony user and don't plan on switching due to the amount of sony lenses I already own. But pound for pound this camera is really good at that price.

[@LMPS5]

I'm using a6500 looking to upgrade and the lumix is seriously very tempting

[@cweb1988]

agreed.....the S5iix is what the a7IV should have been. a7iv was overpriced for sure. They should have kept it at 2000. But the pandemic scared them into raising it I think.

[@tomhannigan2234]

@@cweb1988 hopefully Sony will bring the price down when the S5ii becomes available to the public

[@jmadsenphoto]

@@LMPS5 It's worth it. I have the original S5. The colors are so natural and easy to work with and the ergonomics are great too. Plus it's built like a tank for a camera of its size.

[@TheFlyFishingFilmmaker]

Only problem is that you lose PDAF when you are shooting in slow motion for certain resolutions ... it ends up switching back to the contrast focus, which we all hate ... oh and 4k slow motion footage is cropped ...

[@THENickRyder]

That was a great spin transition between your home and Japan! I enjoyed it so much I instantly rewatched it haha. Thanks for another fantastic camera breakdown!

[@bigdhav]

Incredible!!?

[@kbarrett1844]

As an A7IV shooter, I am impressed with how good the S5II is, and it’s their first gen PDAF. I see no compelling reason to go back to LUMIX, but for someone looking for a competent hybrid shooter, this seems to be well worth a hard look.

[@markshirley01]

Id still go for the A74, the AF wasn't good enough on the S5

[@markshirley01]

@Emotion Air they'll definitely get better but it will take time. Nikon got there with the Z9 but that took years to get up to speed. I think were Panasonic got the lead in ibis Sony are now catching up, the A7R5 stabalisation is very good. You wonder how much they all can keep improving

[@steinhillstudios1657]

How am I now knowing about this channel?? This was an excellent review, all these music choices were on point. I came here for some final convincing on if to get this camera for my needs...I should have come here first. Great story telling mate.

[@CallMeChato]

I've been using a Lumix G9 for 4 years. It does everything I need and of course I want a new camera. I have been seriously considering the Sony FX30 and abandoning Panasonic. But the S5II is intriguing. For $200 more, it offers far more capabilities than the APS-C FX30. Something to think about. I was really impressed with the lack of focus breathing of the S5 II combo. I know Sony has solved it in software with some of their lenses but I was surprised you didn't mention it because it was very gross on the Sony. Finally, your wife is a peach.

[@orange42]

G9ii probably on the way now

[@CallMeChato]

@@orange42That would be a massive lens saving option. I don’t really need full frame. Any video camera that’s better than my $60,000 1991 Sony ENG SD camcorder is good in my books.

[@kenbest7660]

Great review, as always. One thing you missed was the other edition of this model that will sell for $200 more and will add more video features, like ProRes and WiFi video broadcasting, etc.. It's set to come out in a couple of months.

[@Jerel_with_a_J]

And supposed to be able to hook an SSD to it via the UBS connector. But I agree, fantastic review as always!

Excellent on Panasonic for making the S5II which has proved it's Auto Focus to be great . This was a fantastic review I enjoyed it so much

[@williamburkholder769]

I think this is an amazing camera now, and agree that it will get better with firmware updates. Lumix cameras always do. I would not hesitate to buy it over the competition, not for any one reason, but for dozens and dozens of reasons. Since AF is no longer a deal breaker, it is time to focus on all of the other hybrid features the S5 II offers creatives. THIS is the camera I wish I could have bought in 2013 when I first started looking at mirrorless cameras.

[@gabor.kovacs]

Thanks for the review, and very well done Panasonic, well done. (A Sony user who wants to change to Pana for years, and now the time comes). That first monolog and the hero shots... 👌 wow

[@NickDelDuca]

I switched from Canon to Sony then back to Canon because I hated the Sony default colors. After the 3rd party lens debacle and the slowness of RF lens releases I was just going to suck it up and plant myself back with Sony. But now I'm thinking I might give Panasonic a go.

[@aliabcom]

Brilliant video mate 👍🏻 Panasonic please make an adapter so that all my expensive MFT Pro glass will fit the L-mount system - then I’ll 100% upgrade my GH5 II to the S5 IIX. Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺

[@JWS1968]

I think the Lumix S5ii is at a point now where it's good enough for some applications. As a filmmaker where I can ask an actor to just 'do that scene again' this is absolutely good enough. But for something mission critical, like a wedding, I'd maybe not be as confident. The IBIS on the Lumix is probably the deciding factor here. From what I've heard and seen on youtube it's incredible for in camera stabilization.

Great review. I had not realized how sophisticated these cameras had become. They are computers as much as they are cameras. BTW, you handled the trip-to-Japan disclosure very well.

[@phxpaul]

Really good review! One thing I've noticed on all reviews of this camera, no one seems to like the port doors. I like them. I don't know what Sony or Canon are like, but I'm coming from Nikon, and I have to say the Lumix port covers are far better. Lumix has a metal pin for the hinge, with Nikon, it's one piece. It has a plastic hinge that eventually breaks or tears off. I waiting for my camera to arrive today. It's actually the 2nd one. The first one came from Amazon Renewal, and it turned out to be Japanese market camera, so I sent it back and the US model arrives today.

[@atthemomentfilmmaker684]

In A7IV, there is a setting to make the LCD mon on while connecting to an external monitor and recording.

Leaving Fuji for one of this. Shoot hybrid and SOOC! Which would you recommend ? I’m defer magenta look.

[@芝さん]

20:23 I believe it was a spec that it takes a while to start the camera at the beginning of the day. A Japanese KZbinr (theTakaTube) verified that if the camera is turned off for more than 12 hours, it will turn off completely to save battery power and will take longer to start up. It is similar to the difference between putting a computer to sleep or shutting it down. Just as you would put the computer in sleep mode if you want to start working on your computer immediately after a break, you can turn the camera on once beforehand if you need to start shooting immediately.

[@TonyReidsma]

Could you do me a favor? I’ve asked a few people but can’t get an answer…. With the original S5 the focus peaking (manual focusing) would work well (on the rear screen) when shooting 1080, but when shooting 4K the peaking would not be as apparent. This is a known issue and I’m wondering if this is still the case with the S5 II

[@agenericaccount3935]

I feel like they pulled all the stops out on the marketing push for this and I hope it pays off. They kinda need the win. Sending all the influencers home with an entire ecosystem on "long term testing" loan was brilliant.

[@theSUBVERSIVE]

Considering the price, flight, hotel, etc. This is at least $10-15K per KZbinr, there were about what, 50 channels? That's a big investment for sure, but considering that they have such a good value and product, it was a risky but probably rewardful investment for Panasonic.

[@leslieye8482]

Great comparison, thanks! It looks the S5II is really improved a lot on autofocus. However, I have just bought the S5 4 months ago! ;) Since here must be a lot of S5 fans, I would like to borrow a little space to ask some questions, which confused me these days: I have connected my S5 to Ninja V and carry the camera on a DJI RS3 gimbal. As the S5 does not support blue tooth connection with the RS3, I connect the S5 to the RS3 with a USB-C cable, to use the red button on RS3 to start/stop recording. When I switch on all these 3 equipment, the monitor on S5 is off (How can I turn it on?), the Ninja V is on. At this point, the red button on RS3 does not work (why?). If I unplug the USB-C cable between S5 and RS3, both monitors on S5 and Ninja are turned on, but obviously there is no way to control the camera by using RS3. If I disconnect Ninja V and then connect S5 and RS3 with the USB-C again, the monitor on S5 works, and I can control the camera using the gimbal. It seems the 3 devices cannot work properly at the same time. Did I miss any settings? Many thanks in advance! 😄😄😄

[@ARRAproductionSK]

Okay great video, just wondering why are you comparing a video camera made with a photo camera? Why are you not comparing s5 mark ii vs. Sony a7s iii? On KZbin, you can find hundreds of videos comparing first S5 with Sony A7s 3. Because of 1000$ difference? I will pay that 1000 for the differences that has Sony a7s3 over s5 ii. in 2023 4k 50/60 only in crop mode? Go back in 2018. I’m with Panasonic from GH4 era. I do have 2x S1 and 2 x Gh5, this release of s5ii make me realize how good is a Sony A7s iii.

[@mirogor5333]

Add another $1,000 and another $1,000. For every $1,000 step, there's a camera that's better. Let's not get crazy.

[@jessicagarcia7558]

I think I just found my camera. For the past year I have been racking my brains out on what new camera I should buy and invest in. Sony, Fuji, Panasonic, black magic ,full frame Nikon ❤ I shoot video and I do photography. And I was thinking about the Panasonic SH1 or S5 but I love the way Black Magic looks.

[@PrestonGladd]

Panasonic fall's into the old saying "A Day Late, And A Dollar Short", I have invested too much into Sony bodies and glass to switch. I started out with Canon ten years ago, then switched to Panasonic back when the GH-5 came out, then finally switched to the Sony A7III, then the A7SIII, and now have those plus an A7IV and an FX3. Add the thousands and thousands of dollars of glass ( probably around $14,000) on top of the thousands and thousands of dollars worth of camera bodies (around another $14,000), and like most I am now too invested in Sony to ever switch. Long term Sony out smarted the competition by creating both better bodies and glass years ahead of the competition. I do like the ergonomics of the Panasonic and their video centric options like shutter angle. But I am a one man show, so I need the reliability of Sony.

[@dirkbasendigros]

Focus might not be as quick as Sony ..yet.. however I noticed the massive focus breathing on the Sony and although the s5ii was slower the focus was a lot more natural

[@Frytech]

Ok, things based on your and several other people’s reviews so far Panasonic must: 1 - Continue improving AF algorithms, especially concentrating on Eye priority, 2 - They should figure out how to give us good eye autofocus and animal eye tracking in all the modes, including 4k60, 1080p120, etc., 3 - Absolutely must give us USB webcam option (UVC), ridiculous that it’s not a default in 2023, 4 - Give the ability to use both H264/H265 (and 4:2:0 or 4:2:2, whatever we prefer) in all the modes, 5 - The option to close the shutter when switching off the camera for sensor protection. The camera has already got the shutter, just put a software update and give people that option, like cmon. All of that must come free even before the delivery. Sure, have your another S5m2X model and charge 200 more for ProRes and Raw outputs, that’s pretty sensible, but above mentioned should be in S5m2 by default. Really good video, thank you for this detailed comparison vs Sony!

[@rafanaluzie2062]

Last option is the worst. Cleaning sensor is less pricey than replace your shutter because dust kills it. I have A7IV and I don't use it.

[@Frytech]

@@rafanaluzie2062 Let’s agree that if you don’t wanna use it - just don’t use it, but I’d like to have that option. Replacing the shutter? Why the hell would I be breaking my shutter if all I want is for it to protect the sensor. I’m not a moron to poke my fingers into it.

[@The_0ne504]

Sony keeping the focus on the person while they're holding up an object in front of their face isn't necessarily an advantage. If I'm holding something up to the camera IN FRONT OF MY FACE, it's pretty obvious that's what I want the camera to focus on. Otherwise I'd just use manual focus. Isn't "Product Showcase" literally the killer feature everyone loves on the Sony ZV-1? Isn't the S5II behaving more closely to that?
