[@geraldundone]

FAQ Answer: This is fundamentally the same camera as the S5 II. So yes, image, rolling shutter, crops, colors, autofocus, stabilization, etc. should all be the same. It's the same sensor and processor. If you want to know more about those aspects, I recommend watching my S5 II review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIrIk517nMtmgJI This video is just about what's different. Cheers! 🤓👍

[@gamedesign1]

Looking like a great camera and something in me keeps saying i should trade my a7siii in for it. But the rolling shutter is important to me because I do 3D camera tracking and don’t want to potentially get bad tracks. I came from a GH5s and went to the A7Siii and I still prefer Panasonics video features. I love the AF, Rolling Shutter and dynamic range of the A7Siii, but Panasonic is just a better experience in my opinion (whatever that means haha). Damn you Panasonic for not making the rolling shutter as good as the a7siii!!! 😭 Do you have any experience or thoughts about 3D camera tracking and rolling shutter?

[@ashley5130]

Is there a way to contact Panasonic we need new lenses 35-150 f2-f2.8 like the samyang and Sony lenses we needs this lens in the Panasonic line up for weddings !!!

[@itsdjbuddha]

I seriously hope they update the S5II with the tracking with a monitor connected. Fun fact, using the DJI RS3 and its integrated tracking doesn’t work in the higher resolutions (same behaviour as connecting HDMI) so hopefully that gets solved. It’s be nice if they offered a $300-$400 upgrade to bring SSD recording and all the other features to parity with the S5IIX (not just the RAW recording stuff)- everything except the blacked out design - unless firmware can do that …….. 😳😂🤦🏾‍♂️

[@itsdjbuddha]

THEY FIXED THE HUMAN DETECT BEING DISABLED IN 5.9K/6K WITH HDMI / DJI RS3 CONNECTED IN THE 2.0 S5II FIRMWARE!!! 🔥 Now …… and this is doubtful, imagine if we can get a paid firmware to enable SSD recording providing there’s no hardware limitation like the USB-C port lol - still waiting on firmware to make the body blacked out 😂🤦🏾‍♂️

[@user-be7tk6rv3g]

@@itsdjbuddha Thanks for the info, DO I need to pay for 2.0 FW update? I don't need prores or ssd recording, I just want the camera to work AF even in 6k mode so I am considering between regular s5m2 and s5m2X

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I can't believe I have to buy ANOTHER camera. Thanks Gerald!!

[@Giovanni-Giorgio]

But the biggest question is.. how will it compare to the zv-e10?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

@@Giovanni-Giorgio 🤣🤣

[@kel.casabo]

I'll say this as a good thing. This video felt endless! How many options can a machine offer? that's honestly insane, as the title says, the versatility of this is crazy. thanks Gerald, keep up the good work.

[@richrollin4867]

Except for full sensor width 4K 60, which is rather disappointing.

[@kel.casabo]

@@richrollin4867 yh, it kind of may be, for some. Me personally, I've been shooting APSC or s35 anyway, so I'm kind of used to s35 60fps, I don't really care, but it's understandable. Industry standard is still s35 tho

[@richrollin4867]

@@kel.casabo I see your point, but it seems a shame to buy a full frame camera - only to use less than half of its sensor for video.

[@KNAPPAID]

​@@richrollin4867 a shame but atleast they gave you the option The a6400 for example does oversampled 4k from 6k at 30 fps ( cropped 1,2x?) , Yet doesnt offer crop non oversampled 4k60

[@sonidojamon]

We were all waiting for Panasonic to fix Auto-Focus for AGES. But they finally did it! And it came with A LOT of other features! Well done, PanaBOY!

[@chriskingcreative]

Love seeing how excited you are about all the features and the SSD handle. It makes me happy to see your joy!

[@terminalhopeproductions]

It's important to note that the current SSD limit for this camera is 2 TB. It's listed on the product page, but not a lot of reviews are mentioning this. So if you buy a pro blade /handle combo or just a regular ssd, don't go over 2 TB. After talking with both Kondor Blue and Panasonic they both used the term " current limit" ...so it's possible that this will be expanded upon in the future.

[@janwedek]

Probably because they use FAT file system so it “just works” under Windows and Mac

[@howardmcmillian5764]

Is 2tb enough for Black Magic raw?

[@urswuergler3969]

4TB SSDs require slightly more power, which seems to be the issue. If one uses a BDM VideoAssist then 4TB are supported. KondorBlue specifically mentions that there may be a delay saving footage but people have been using 4TB memory for quite some time without any issues. The downside? You will not be able to use a 4TB memory when directly attached to the camera.

[@josiahkee]

Impeccable timing, literally started looking at this camera yesterday. Gerald, you're a legend!

[@lutzrenneke4415]

I am so incredibly excited about this camera. I preordered right when it got announced and nearly waited half a year for the first review. Thank you for the great work. Keep it up!

[@laylahassomethingtosay]

How have you liked it?

[@lutzrenneke4415]

@@laylahassomethingtosay Great update for my S5. Besides the cool color I think, the regular S5ii would've been enough. Anyways with the 2TB SSD and 100,- cash back I got when preordered, I think it was a good deal and fundamentally a great camera.

[@laylahassomethingtosay]

@@lutzrenneke4415 Oh sweet, I'm happy for you-- that's great that the SSD was included! Just this morning I went ahead and order an S5ii. I had my eyes set on the x for so long, but then realized that the international S5ii's were on sell for $1290 and couldn't pass that up😅 Plus I figure that my personal work mostly winds up on youtube, so the All-I codecs would really just be for the editing workflow🤷🏻‍♀ I do think the S5iix's are gonna hold their value better though. Even the international versions aren't seeing nearly the same discounts.

[@tomdchi12]

I VERY much appreciate the nerdy deep dive into the BRaw implementation and exposure range!

[@synlfo7828]

Panasonic has made such an amazing camera with the 5ii and 5iix. They have just moved the goal posts waaaaaay far! Currently waiting for the X . Thanks for the amazing video.

[@DonnieGQX]

For the amount of work you put into each video and also the callouts from other creators you definitely should have way more followers IMO. None the less thank you for your service :) Legendary Review.

[@kiez_insider]

The biggest letdown for me was the bad autofocus in 1080p in 60fps or higher on the S5II, but with the fix, I‘ll definitely get the s5iix

[@davidvictory9764]

What do you mean?

[@davidvictory9764]

@Shariq Ahmed🌎💙 oh but so does s5iix fix that? Or what was the guy talking about?

[@davidvictory9764]

@Shariq Ahmed🌎💙 oh that sucks, I am assuming zve1 doesn't have that problem? But I guess 60fps is enough still dumb

[@eyosyastadesse9332]

@@shariqahmed336Gerald was def right in this video about the PDAF working at 1080p, 60fps, whereas the S5II does not (in full frame). I’ve been at B&H all morning comparing the two. Decided to go with the SiiX mainly for that reason (and all black is sleek af). It is noteworthy to mention PDAF at 1080p, 60fps does work for the Sii when you enter APS-C mode

[@alifashrareza]

Dang, you never disappoint. The S5iiX has been on my mind for a while, and a couple of dozen reviews later, I thought I was none the wiser. Then I remembered noticing your review long ago when the camera wasn't in my cross hairs, and I have just looked it up - bingo! Thank you!

[@Passion_Video_and_Photo]

I liked the anology you used for explaining latency with livestream, like it's a quick fraction of a second delay before you answer a question. Just purchased the s5iix and waiting for it to come in now. Upgraded from a gh5. Thx for the video.

[@Giovanni-Giorgio]

This review is as packed with info as the camera has features 👍

[@LoneStarDrift]

Thank you for making this video!

[@GUANTA23K]

Wow, and that's even pre-launch! I'm excited!

[@geraltstelenheimcorneliust8180]

As an FX3 owner, this S5iix, with its Prores and raw options, SHUTTER ANGLE, waveforms, vectors scopes, open gate recording and multiple anamorphic desqueeze options is twice the cinema camera my Sony ‘cinema line’ FX3 is. Sony need to step up their game with the software updates because at half the price of the FX3 this thing is seriously tempting.

[@geraltstelenheimcorneliust8180]

Screw it. Just pre-ordered. Sony has us celebrating low hanging fruit like releasing firmware updates that allow us to shoot in true 24fps with a 1/48 shutter angle, this camera release really puts how ridiculous that is into perspective. I hope this camera is everything it seems in the reviews because if so bye bye Sony 👋 Fantastic review as always!

[@ledheavy26]

​@@geraltstelenheimcorneliust8180 Sony has a better lens selection, and their autofocus is still at the top but I think the new Panasonic system looks really good to where I wouldn't choose Sony for autofocus over the new phase system on this camera. Sony has got to be worried now that Panasonic has reliable AF and is putting it in their feature rich bodies at a lower price point with a better image (imo). Not to mention you get a viewfinder! That's the biggest omission from the fx30/fx3/fx6 for me, aside from lacking proper video monitoring features and shutter angle (excluding fx6 here). Can't wait to see the updated S1 and S1h models.

Thank you! Informative and fun as usual. And a bit nerdy but that’s how we like it :)

[@joelholdsworth]

The RTSP stream is something I've wanted for years. If you record in-studio, you can now just pipe all your coded video straight into the editing station over the network. VLC (or something like it) can take the H.264/5 out of the RTSP stream, and store it into a file verbatim. Having WebCam-style video over USB (i.e. a UVC device) would also be nice to have. This would be useful in cases where raw uncompressed video is desired instead,

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Well, I think you just dramatically narrowed down my choice for my next camera. The S5iix. If it gets the Undone Stamp of Approval, then I have to seriously consider it.

[@brois841]

Thanks for covering the webcam info! It's not a common use case, but I use my A7 III with a Sony 28mm F2 lens for video conferencing and it makes such a huge difference compared to regular webcams. The natural blur, crisp image, excellent face tracking, proper colors, etc. Seems overkill, but it makes a huge difference when I'm on important calls and everyone else is a pixelated blob.

[@liveryko]

If you use the LUMIX Webcam Software you can connect the cameras with USB and it works just like a webcam.

[@justinmayfield6579]

Thanks for the report! I’ve been wondering about the difference it would make these days. I bet lighting makes a massive difference, too.

[@brois841]

@@justinmayfield6579 I don't use any special lighting, but being able to set a custom white balance is good enough. Most webcams use AWB and the colors are constantly shifting, brightness is changing, etc

[@ledheavy26]

The HDMI latency is pretty annoying. If using the Blackmagic recorder at least it has 2 xlr inputs on it though so recording without HDMI sound could not be such a big deal if recording externally and not just using a monitor. It's really great to see the braw implementation has seemingly proper white balance and highlight recovery making this combo much more appealing to me than needing to go to a BM pocket series camera for good braw since I am a hybrid shooter and want a modern lens mount.

[@raksh9]

The braw features of this camera make it very attractive. I haven't tried braw yet, but if this is in the same league as the P6K cameras, it is a very distinct step towards a truly cinema-like image in a hybrid camera, and versatility for challenging lighting conditions.

[@randyrektor]

Ahh yes, I've been waiting for your take. I have my pre-order in!

[@angeloplayforone]

Great to hear about highlight recovery available and fixed WB with BRAW. Since the highlight rolloff is rather gentle without any artefacts on the S series unlike the Pocket 4K and 6K, highlight recovery may actually be quite usable. :) I really have no idea what to use Live stream use for, my HDMI adapter may even have less latency.

Thanks Gerald! Great review - I've been excited to see this camera come out for a while and love seeing it get such a detailed review. Something I've been curious about is, with the S1, the HDMI output would be 8 bit - unless you were recording 4k60 or raw video. Do we know if it's still doing this, or are all of the HDMI recording modes now 10/12 bit?

[@matadormartin]

Is all HDMI output from the S1 8bit do you know? Wasn't actually aware of that.

[@maggiem1323]

Hi Gerald what is the 48-bit color we keep seeing on your charts? Does this mean the Panny can go beyond the 10-bit color depth if unlocked in the future? Great in-depth technical video on a great cam.

[@michevanessen]

[@thinkjazzmedia]

Great review as always! Would that hdmi delay be a problem if using with an ATEM switcher with the audio coming in from an external source into the ATEM? Would there be noticeable sync issues between the AV or distracting latency if using on Zoom for example? Definitely considering selling my Sony’s currently and moving across to Panasonic. Bit annoyed about the diversifying updates and features, particularly on my A7siii. Thanks Gerald!! Best wishes. Joel.

Thing is, since it’s in aps-c, how less good it would be then 4k60 FF? Will the only difference be the fact that I will need to position myself further from the subject due to the crop? Or will it also influence my lenses capabilities from 2.8 to 4.2? Because if that’s so, I don’t see the reason to upgrade to this to get 4k60 and destroy my aperture in exchange… I AM STUCK hahaha… I would greatly appreciate your tech help, and also looking for visual differences examples so I can clearly see the difference….

[@MichaelNguyenn]

Wrong channel to look at since he's more video focused. But generally yes the camera has no issue of taking photos especially with the new autofocus system. But a consistent arguement is just the limited lens selection the Panasonic currently offers so thats something you'll have to determine if its worth it or not.

Of Course you can it's basically a version of an hybrid camera focused on video like the r5c
