S5...The poor man's S1H! My long and nerdy TECH REVIEW

[@ragesaq]

The quality of this review is totally stunning. Comprehensive, detailed, explained, tested and all done with slick, useful graphics and no fluff.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Really appreciate your awesome comment and support. Happy to know you found it useful

[@MagdaKHindia]

Man, hands down no ONE out there does such eloquent clear presentations.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thanks Maggie!

[@charliemcgrain]

We all need to stop talking about Panasonic auto focus until they change to phase detect. I don't use auto focus, ever, so I am not interested in it. There are much more simple cameras for bloggers who want it. I am a filmmaker, I am interested in the quality and the assist features. The S5 is beyond what most filmmakers need. The idea that I can shoot FULL FRAME, 5.9K RAW, for 2000 bucks is beyond incredible. Many thanks for this incredible content. Brilliant work.

[@DelToro95]

The fact that I find you one of the best channels out there is because you explain everything so detailed and worth knowing. but what separates you is that the motion graphics among that are so useful that I immediately understand what you're saying, compared to just a talking head, talking about the features or explaining certain drawbacks.

Excellent review! Love this so much. You went into so much detail and I was on the fence about this and the sony a7c, but this review pushed me over the edge to the s5.

[@sulogno]

Even I’m deciding between the 7c and the s5..which one did you finally buy? How is the experience?

[@bmwm3man]

@@sulogno I actually bought the a7c, but only because it was cheaper at the time. I still like the s5 more and will likely pick one up in the future. From all of the research I've done, if autofocus isn't a big deal for you, the st would be the better buy. I personally like the colours out of the s5 more.

[@sulogno]

[@vilagivideos3020]

Best in-depth review ever! I am still using my S5, done more then 100 videos for a KZbin channel I would love to mention but it wouldn’t be fair 😊. What I’ve noticed that once you are filming and to avoid pulsing you can tap on the screen of the camera to choose the AF point and not to tap on Set. This means that the camera will wait for the confirmation but somehow not pulsing…. Yes you can’t see any other information in the meantime but still work to try. When window shopping I always come to the same conclusion. S5 is very good camera even 3y later. Thank you for the educational review. It must have been a hard work to put it together. Well done.👍🏻

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thank you so much for your kind comment. And yes, the focus idea you have seems to be a great solution for desperate times when you really need to nail focus. And yes the S5 is great! Didn’t you want to consider the new S5IIX?

[@vilagivideos3020]

I have. However I’ve just got a FX 30, second hand for less the a S5iix. I am bit puzzled over the video quality… in a bad way. I have 2weeks to return it if I can’t make up my mind. I like everything about FX30 but it feels like the video is much better from the Panasonic. The Sony feels like you need to be very careful with how you expose. Any thoughts on this. As you have used both of the systems. Thank you for your time. (Or is it just a matter of FF vs S35)

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

I personally didn’t test the FX30, I have doubts it’s the same sensor as the FX3, and it’s a matter that SONY tweaked the image to match the FX3. Again I’m speculating here. But yes, Panasonic surely has a better image in my opinion, it’s a lot more professional and the closest thing to ARRI look from the affordable Mirrorless market I would say. The thing that drives people away from Panasonic ‘s look is how it needs a lot of massaging after you shoot it and applying their 709 LUT. That’s what people don’t understand when comparing to SONY. Which gives you a lot more contrasting and saturated image.

[@vilagivideos3020]

Thank you, I have packed the Sony up. On the used market the S5ii is about 400 less then the S5iiX. So I may as well look for a lens with it. If needed one day pay for the update. Thank you for your time. Have a good light.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

@vilagivideos3020 glad I can help, best of luck

[@rogerwesterberg]

Amazing review and graphics! I preordered it with the 20-60mm a couple of days ago and will get a free Sigma 45mm 2.8 as part of the deal, and here in Sweden it's cheaper then the new Sony A7C which is crazy. I will use it as my main photography camera and a partner to my GH5 for filming where the GH5 falls short (low-light, dynamic range, full V-log etc) and I already have the Ninja V. I Wish it had a better EVF and Full-HDMI but for the price compared to others in the same range it's a no-brainer for me. I only use autofocus for stills anyway. Would be great to have good continuous autofocus in video but the other specs and things like shutter angle is much more important to me. I plan to get the new Sigma 85 DG DN 1.4 for portrait work, interviews and b-roll. And probably the Sigma 24-70 2.8. Which lens do you use most frequently when filming with the S1H/S5?

[@SkonrokkenTV]

Wow not cool we're not getting a free Sigma lens here in Norway! Hvorfor det da? Why not? Because you have more Covid-19? Going to start shopping in Sweden from now on.

[@rogerwesterberg]

@@SkonrokkenTV You do, the offer is valid in Norway to.

[@EugeneMaynard]

It is a shame that we in Sweden did not get the deal that The UK (and I think the US) got, where you have the choice of the Sigma lens or the Panasonic XLR audio unit. As a GH5 user with lots of fast speedboosted adapted glass, I would go for the audio unit especially as the Swedish price for it is relatively high compared to the UK.

[@neofaktion]

@@SkonrokkenTV I just bought mine with the 20-60mm and got the 50mm 1.8 for free ;) Ikke den verste dealen jeg har gjort

Simply one of the best channels I've ever seen on youtube, It is like Gerald Undone but with graphics and animation!!! Outstanding work...! Thank you for your valuable help I received my S5 a few days ago. I was very afraid to switch to Panasonic because of the AF problem but I'm really happy with the S5, I was a Panasonic micro third user (G7) in the past but I left because of the autofocus and poor low light performance. It is my first Full Frame and now I'm coming from Sony A6400 which is a wonderful camera but know I feel the big leap of Full Frame at an affordable price... Hey men where did you find those wonderful PNG images in your presentations are soooooo gooooood...!

Beautiful work as always my man... I recently sold my S1, GH5 and GH5S and saw the S5 as a missed opportunity with the micro HDMI and DFD. However, this extremely well balanced and considered review might've just swayed me back towards Panny with a truly amazing value cine/photo anamorphic capable cam.

[@babbishm]

Great video. This really does seem like an interesting camera and I think I’ll pick one up to compliment my EVA-1. One thing I think I’m going to miss is the inability to switch native ISO setting, and then adjust ISO from there. For instance with my EVA-1, when I’m in native ISO at 2500 mode and I step down to 2000, it gives me a much cleaner image without taking any substantial hit to dynamic range. Varicam owners do the same thing when shooting native ISO of 5000, they step it down to say 4000 or 3200 for less noise. Anyway sounds like noise really isn’t an issue anyway but it would be nice if we had that level of control.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Yeah I know... I’m about to release the second video covering ISO actually. So stay tuned

[@RobinParmar]

Let's pray for the Panasonic engineers! Ha! brilliant review with amazing graphics. Your critique is right-on, though I am not sure (after watching your other video) if you know to tap the screen to confirm the AF tracking. Though we now have the S5 Mark II with phase-detect AF and the II X with more video features, I bought this original model for its even deeper discounted price. The fact that Panasonic doesn't forget the older models when updating firmware to record external RAW is really nice.

This is such a great detailed review !! Perfect show and tell to properly explain all the features of the camera. Clear for the layman, the enthusiast and I’m sure the pros. Loved the graphs and the timely coloured and animated annotations, accompanied with totally relevant b-rolls to illustrate what you’re talking about right that second (e.g. the cut to the 65mm lens on the S5 on set…). Loved it ! I’m about to scour your channel to see if you have other camera reviews like this one. Gosh that was good ! I have so wanted to love and buy this camera: such an inviting little body that makes you want to hold it and shoot with it, so many good features for photography, but that autofocus for videos is a deal breaker for me. The lack of choice in their lens lineup for lightweight telephotos (e.g. the sony 70-350 or 70-300 FE) is another one for my usage 🥹. Come on Panasonic, please get that autofocus situation sorted! The rest (like lens manufacturer building lenses for the L-mount) will follow.

[@ThePistonPit]

How’s the s5 working out for you?

[@CharlieGreenberg]

@@ThePistonPit Could not be happier :) (well I can if the AF is a little better). Great colors, good workflow, great menu and settings, button leyout is great. Lens selection directly from Pana is not that wide, but I use 80% of time my 16-35 f4 from Pana and another 15% Sigma 28-70 and it covers pretty much everything I need (interviews, product videos, my KZbin creative work, vlogging). Photos are top, easy to edit skin tones. Overall 9/10, no reason to change.

[@EugeneMaynard]

Excellent! I originally only saw the cons when it was introduced but your review was successful enough in highlighting those unique video features that Panasonic has over its mirrorless competitors that I am now seriously reconsidering adding it to my toolkit. However, I shall wait until they deliver on those firmware upgrades to give us shutter angle, video exposure tools and the 5.9K RAW.🙏🏾

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Glad it was helpful! yeah Waiting is always a good thing if you can.

[@mattyskier]

Absolutely amazing review! You spend so much time to make all of these graphics and it's much appreciated! I hope Panasonic adopts a better AF system soon. I've invested a lot in Panasonic since the DVX100b and I've always been happy, but with the amount of gimbal work I'm required to do these days I've decided my next camera has to have a truly reliable AF system.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thanks Matt... really appreciate your kind words and appreciation of my work. Yeah let’s all pray for them to see the light in a new AF system

[@dude1diligence]

The DP Journey but to Panasonic, the S5 already HAS a NEW autofocus system. This is the real bummer. New algorithm = New AF. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Not really... to them they just reached the max development of this system... next step is a new system.

I'm still very happy with what my cams can produce but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't keeping an eye on the future amd can see myself pulling the purchase trigger within the next year. I've got loads of full frame lenses (EF mounted cine lenses) so they can be adapted and I won't be having to invest in a whole new lens line up. Which camera would you suggest for someone who makes video of almost every possible type? (narrative features, music videos, Corp interviews, weddings etc)

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thanks for the support. The camera I would recommend in that case would be the S1H. Even though I prefer the colora of POCKET 6k

[@morgisbordmedia5379]

@@THEDPJOURNEY thanks for taking the time to respond. So I borrowed an S1H for a couple of jobs when it first came out and while I can't deny that it captures beautiful imagery, I found editing those h.265 files it produced very slow going even when I spent a fair while generating optimised media in Resolve. I am curious about the A7s3 because on paper it sounds like the no compromises camera for what I do. Just wondering what your reservations might be with that camera with them being so closely priced.

[@pgulysse1]

Thanks... The graphics!!!! Wow!! ------------------- Panasonic Camera Bodies have good ergo. A lot of customizable controls (dials, buttons). The menu system is one of the best on the market. Since the photography/videography is for sure shrinking, I have the feeling there is a untold race for makers to secure market (nowadays all cameras are good and offer almost the same functionalities, I guess competencies will somehow come to play). Panasonic is known for bringing affordable 4K to consumers (the FZ bridge series). PDAF,... What do you think Panasonic/Lumix should do in the future? then next GH6, the next FZ2500/FZ2000/FZH1... I am sure there is a form of market consolidation coming... Thanks.

As many others have said, great specs review, thx so much. So clear and charts/diagrams really well put together. I used to do info charts for a big company so know how much work goes into this. I have subscribed to your channel, the first KZbin channel I’ve ever subscribed to. Eager to see the AF tests as other reviews have shown it to be OK tracking in video. I don’t know why it’s giving these inconsistent results, maybe there are different FW versions out with reviewers?

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

It’s a pleasure to know I’m the first channel you subscribed to. Yeah AF is inconsistent, in photo mode you get GREAT results. In video it’s not to be trusted. I did many tests and I never got something that makes it worthy of my trust.

[@nashi0]

The DP Journey Thx. I guess you’ll cover this all in your AF video. Would be good to know what settings etc make it work better or worse. Frame rates seem to make a difference. Maybe aperture too? Also subject setting and lighting. With so many different models (subjects) and reviewers, there’s no consistency of shoot environment, perhaps this contributes to inconsistent findings. I’ve never made videos before but want to give it a go, so I have no experience to compare it with, just what I see online.

Easily the best over-view of this new camera on the net. Really & truly great. I have been looking to upgrade from the GH5 for some time now (great as it is), and this new S5 looks to be the ticket. About the only thing I might disagree with you about is it being a more photo-centric camera. Rather, it looks to be a pure hybrid which, if anything, leans towards video (the low shooting rate in stills mode; poor EVF; only 1 fast card slot). Already pre-ordered it, so your video reassured me I had made the right choice! Awesome work, keep it up - liked/subbed

Im so impressed with the production quality of this video! great info and very concise thanks

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

My absolute pleasure. Thanks for watching

[@winniduesseldorf]

Thank You for this comprehensive Information !

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

You’re most welcome

[@oneworldvideo]

Congratulations on a PHENOMENAL review! Instant sub! How do you edit all of your titles/animated graphics? BTW, thank you for being the ONLY KZbinr with the good sense to notice and point out the horrible headphone jack placement that gets in the way of the LCD. This is extremely disappointing! Shame on Panasonic for doing this, especially considering how they could have designed the camera with the jack out of the way, just like Canon is doing with their cameras!

[@loklan89]

Excellent video and detailed info as always!

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thanks again!

[@Rufus-OG]

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Welcome aboard! Would surely love to hear back from you again

[@ubarhd1]

Great S5 analysts video ...fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thanks. Really appreciate it

[@HDBerlin]

A super review, best of the best, content and animation wise.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thank you so much for your support!

[@ruff1draft]

DP Journey you forgot to mention that you can get unlimited recording in 10 bit in FHD (Full HD) in 1080P. Which means you can record in that format and then upscale to 4K when uploading to KZbin and social media

Man, I had to stop the video at 3 quarters of the way!😳..........this is the most definite review of dam near any camera that I've seen on youtube! Awesome review!👍🏾😳 I am considering a camera to take to Brazil to film indoor low light concerts but, also street video! My budget won't do an a7s iii, any suggestions what would be a good contender? X S5, s7 iii, or a7c ?

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thank you so much for watching and for for the support. Hands down the S5!!! For higher budget go for a7s3

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

I left a link to my S5 kit in the description if you’re interested

[@Jazzmarcel]

@@THEDPJOURNEY big 🙏 thanks!.......will check out your link!

[@tangibleplanetvisualmedia1138]

I bought the S1H, the S5 wasn't out at the time. I love it but I need a matching B-Cam. I'm really considering getting this after watching your video. The one thing that is an issue for me is the record limit, but I could just use an external recorder. I'm very excited for the next panasonic camera. I would love something with reliable AF and 4k/60 4:2:2 internal recording with no crop. I'd sell one of these and get that as my A Cam

[@shtrudel-pu1cm]

the best review for cameras. thanks

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

And the best comment for a review for cameras! Thanks 🙏

[@asadsultan1208]

I had been eagerly waiting for your review. I might sell my GH5 and buy this small beast. My wait for GH6 is drying out now.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

yeah i know.... Keep in mind buying this means you're dealing with a whole different lens mount. No idea when the GH6 will come out. but I have a feeling it'll be soon

[@asadsultan1208]

@@THEDPJOURNEY just want the GH6 to 4k60 10 bit internally and dual native iso

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

To be realistic... nothing before q1 2021

[@avarmadillo]

One year later: the Peaking remains trash. A tragic consequence of a camera that also has trash for AF. Otherwise, it's a fantastic camera in virtually every respect, and your reviews are, hands down, the very best.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thank you so much for the kind words, and thanks for watching

[@avarmadillo]

@@THEDPJOURNEY my words are not kind they are accurate and objective. Why won’t Panasonic fix their horrible peaking? What good is a camera that cripples your ability to focus the image?!? Thank you for the time consuming effort to make these fantastic videos. They’re a wonderful resource. Ps Magdalena is amazingly beautiful. Also, I’m not a Panasonic hater. I own the S5, and once owned the S1H. The peaking is better on it. Better on the GH5. As it is the S5 is all but totally focus crippled. It’s. Like a Rolls Royce with no wheels. And you know they could fix it if they wanted to. What could they be thinking?????!!

[@Photographicelements]

OMG OMG OMG IT’S HERE!! (Amy Poler Tina Fey popcorn gif goes here).

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

hahaha... you need 3 buckets of popcorn for the longest review to date

[@Photographicelements]

The DP Journey I love it!

[@endtheproject]

The Panasonic Lumix S1 also has a big Rolling shutter. Perhaps, you can test both cameras, S1 and S5 side by side, and display the images. If you want to use these two cameras at ISO 8000, you will find a noticeable difference in noise. It would be interesting (and maybe surprising) a comparison between the S1 and the GH5 at high ISO... Thank you!

[@gomez3420]

Wow what a great review and I love your style and presentation . The pros and cons and compromises that Panasonic made of the camera are well laid out. My sense is that you feel that you get a lot of camera for your money with the Panasonic S5.

[@Pattern_seeker202]

That's amazing! Thank you for your analysis.

[@SnapHappy]

Excellent review. I just bought one to pair with my S1H. GH5 matched well but S series will match even better!

[@oscarschenk]

Great video. Awesome graphics. Good stuff.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Cheers, thanks

[@rpestess]

Awesome review! Thanks for all the info in a concise form.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Glad it was helpful!

[@HGQjazz]

Nice content. Great explanations! I hope I can get good enough to really appreciate and use this camera to its potential. Right now, I am so dependent on good AF though.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

That Damn AF indeed.... I hope they wake up one day and come up with one that works

[@charliemcgrain]

Is it still stuck with Long GOP while external recording to Ninja V? Excellent work, sir, many thanks.
