Sony a7cii vs Lumix s5ii - 4k 60fps Video Comparation

[@joshclark8385]

I much prefer the colors coming out of the lumix over the sony. I do however prefer the form factor of the A7C II over the S5ii.

[@Digitalfiendscom]

I felt the opposite - the A7cii seemed to have better dynamic range. The shadows looked crushed on the S5ii in a lot of those ISO 100 shots. The S5ii almost looked a bit oversharpened in some shots. Both seem to be excellent cameras though.

[@joshclark8385]

Good point. I think I will pull the trigger on the A7C II this week@@Digitalfiendscom

[@leafcatcherstudio]

@@Digitalfiendscom It’s hard to draw meaningful conclusions about dynamic range from this test because neither camera filmed in their log profile (the ISO in this test is below the minimum for what each camera’s log profile requires). Filming in non-log profiles leaves a lot of dynamic range on the table and there’s variance in contrast and dynamic range between the picture profiles within a camera, let alone between cameras. Comparisons of log profiles are more useful for actually using the camera, unless you’re not planning to film in log at all.

What wind/dead cat is on the S5ii?

[@lumixbrothers]

Different lenses, different camera settings. The panasonic clearly has a contrasting style because the dynamic range even on my gh6 is better than here in the video. There is clearly a bias towards Sony. I think this video is unworthy.

I'm not too fond of Sony cameras; I prefer Lumix, but the reality is that Sony beats Panasonic in terms of dynamic range. Nothing is altered in this test.

[@narottamsapkota5878]

For me, Lumix S5II looks sharper and the color is a lot better than A7CII

[@goawaybaizuo]

That difference in IBIS @3:40 is pretty crazy. I much prefer the s5ii colors. The ISO on the Sony wins, though. Unfortunately, since Panasonic is a much smaller company, they are using Sony sensors from the pervious generation (like 2018). I would love to see what they could put out if Canon or Sony gave them access to the newest sensors. Unfortunately, I doubt they'll do that. Panasonic is by FAR the most consumer friendly company imo. They listen to feedback, do everything they can to exceed customers needs, and constantly upgrade older cameras with new firmware. I would support them solely on the pro consumer vs. anti consumer practices of say Sony or Canon (Sony locks out the ability of 3rd party lenses and canon just price gouges like crazy)

[@tecniralph]

Agree 100%

[@mac24x7]

Here the s5ii had better ibis even though it was using a third party lens! With a panasonic lens the stabilization would be 2x better!

[@hayashimushroom]

i am so happy i have switched from Sony to S5 so much nicer colors

[@picturedis]

I dont use neither cameras but comparing both camera at dramatically different apertures is no brainer. 1.8 will always be soft and the 2.8 which is closed down will be detailed and crisp. It no rocket science. A balanced comparrison will both at the same settings. Why take so much effort to do a side by side is non relevant?

[@tecniralph]

The comparison was with similar apertures. Read the red letters at the top of the video.

[@MrJayclas]

Why use f2.8 on both cameras?

[@tecniralph]

It's not f2.8. Look at the red letters at the top of the video.

[@AntriusEllington]

I have the Sony a7cii and I love it but this is a no contest as far as image.

[@milky_reacts]

Man i hate sony colour profile, otherwise is perfect

[@theendurance]

sony dynamic range is so much better, lumix looks like a gopro footage lol

[@matungb8789]

Lumix s5ii have iso100 ??

[@tecniralph]

Yes

[@emmanuelponsmota6399]

Como? A lo máximo que la puedo bajar es a 640

[@rajeshkumar-zq6gy]

I dont know how Lumix S5ii is better then Ac7 II. I have 4k monitor and can clearly see sony has much color and dymanic range. The highlight, shadow and color is better on sony

[@tecniralph]

Agree 100%
