[@JimMakosCom]

Every time a video of yours pops up in my feed, I end up wanting to buy the S1H as my main camera for video! Once I do, I'll have to rewatch your videos of course. With that top quality you bring to them, they'll be as enjoyable as the first time I watched them. Great work!

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Jim, your words humble me. Thanks a lot buddy for these kind compliments. And most of all, Really happy they're offering you an informed decision on what would work for you. Happy to have you onboard

[@aquaphoenixx]

@@THEDPJOURNEY I wanted t get the Sony ZV E-10 for video but it has not been available anywhere for months. So after some research I decided to get the Panasonic Lumix S5 (and hopefully make enough money to get the S1H or S1H Mark 2 when it releases) You have one of the best (if not the best) videos on the Lumix S series. Buy getting the S5 I am inspired to do so many more things than with the ZV E-10. In addition I have the S1H to strive for and the lenses I invest in will fit it!

[@24fpsmax]

Yes! Absolutely love my S1H. Seems to be the perfect in-between camera that does everything really well.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

True

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

It can record at any resolution, even at highest quality 6k or 4K for as long as your media can take. There’s no heating issues whatsoever. It has a fan and a very effective heat dissipation system in place.

[@sottosopra4769]

are u videomaker?

[@24fpsmax]

@@sottosopra4769 Yes. I’m a commercial filmmaker. The S1H is my B-Cam and gimbal cam.

[@innanoshe]

how do you feel about it versus the sony a7s 3

[@clifftotten7609]

Man,...you made a SUPERB video. I hope Panasonic pays you for this! I have owned my S1 for almost a year now and I just purchased the S1H yesterday. I have owned MANY cameras over the decades including several XDCAMs and Alphas. I'm now selling my Sony FS7 and replacing it with this S1H. Fantastic job on this video.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thanks a lot Cliff for the support and compliments. I’m sure Panasonic won’t pay anything of course LOL. I would never ask for money to praise any brand, as you know my videos are purely my opinions as a DP, that will never change and this will always be my promise to everyone. There’s enough confusion out there on KZbin that needs to be cleared out, and I feel honesty is a good start. Thanks again buddy

[@ricardorgomez]

It's why I subscribe to your video: a real pro with real experience focusing on features that matter.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Awesome Comments can't get better than this! Thanks Ricardo!

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Wow. After seeing this, I'm seriously considering the S1H as a future camera. Currently, I have the BMPCC4K, which I really love. But, I started out with a GH5, which I shot a feature film with. So, I know that Panasonic makes great cameras. Plus, Panasonic cameras have never had the over heating issues other brands, like Sony, still have. Thanks for this video.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thanks buddy for the compliments... yeah I also had Gh5, then got the BM4K, then now the S1H. It's very worth it

[@TravelingTribeof5]

So happy to see some great content around the S1H. It's really the camera a lot of people are not talking about but a BEAST!

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Very true

[@danquixote6072]

That’s right, a year ago everybody was complaining that each manufacturer was just falling short of producing the perfect camera. As far as I can see, this is it, yet the likes of Canon’s EOS R get far more attention. Great video, loved the animations too - quality.

[@newbeatphoto]

Please keep posting videos! These are some of the best youtube tutorials I've seen. Thank you for moving QUICKLY through lots of information. So many tutorials spend 20 minutes to tell you only one thing and they end up being neither insightful or helpful. Most professionals don't have time to spend watching long, slow tutorials that don't teach us anything. Your videos move quickly and pack lots of information and that is highly-appreciated. All of your information and explanations are clear, relevant, and really insightful. I'll keep coming back to this as my go-to tutorial for any subject you post on and I'll share this channel with my colleagues.

Inclusion of the information about the focus by wire fix is a level above what I usually find on other channels. Its been a big reason Ive avoided upgrading to newer lenses so well done s1H and well done DP journey for sharing that info! A huge headline feature in my opinion

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

My please Mitch. Really happy you liked the content

[@DesignerKollektiv]

Great stuff! And I learned some more about this camera. One thing I don't like about the S1H is the fact that your battery drains much faster if you leave it in the camera. The screen on top keeps being lit up but I think it also uses up the remaining juice in your battery. So, every time you pick up your camera after 3 days, you need to recharge that battery, even when it was full wen it went in. So, I take it out. The IBIS on the camera itself is quite rubbish, it keeps shaking along and with the boost switch on, the images start to look worse than an iPhone. If you want great moving results, use a gimbal or steady cam. Else it's rolling shutter up your sleeve, combined with jerky IBIS correction. but love this camera!

[@davidp158]

Coming from the GH5 and EVA1, I find the S1H to be a great in-between option, with sooooo many features that the other cameras lack. Having experimented with the camera for a few days and reviewing your detailed videos, I'm seriously impressed with all the power packed into the S1H. Yes, it's an "old" camera already by today's fast paced releases, but it fits into my workflow and budget better than the other $4k cameras. Thanks again for your wonderfully informative videos. Solid information packed with great info and motion graphics.

[@haiderromeroperez9015]

What a fantastic video you put together mate, nicely done. The S1H has been a game changer for me and a huge step up from the A7S ii, so glad I didn't decide to wait on the myth A7s iii.

[@christheswiss390]

Wow, again, I learned so much about topics I had never even heard of before. Amazing! Thank you. These videos are far beyond my scope and capabilities, but it's still nice to learn about subjects I didn't even know existed. It's also very humbling. Something I don't believe you mentioned, but I increasingly feel EVERY review should include: does the camera have back-lit buttons. You DID mention the info screen at the top, but not the buttons. Frankly, if buttons are not backlit, the usability of a camera sinks by about 20 % right there.

Hi thanks another great, detailed and easy to understand video. S1h is a beast. Just one little thing. Don't you think that 1080p quality of this camera is a bit poor? 4 downsample is perfect, 1080p a bit soft even when I have it side by side with a c100. What are your findings?

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

How is the stills capability? 90% of my work is film but often on set I need to take a few high quality BTS pics for the client. We do have an A7iii for that but is the S1H capable of matching it in image quality and dynamic range?

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Hey Nic, I honestly haven't tested it in Photos, mainly because of the bad AF.

[@nomad0714]

Hi DP Journey, Very well done and professional video on S1H. I’m a beginner and learning curve is high so these videos are very helpful as it accelerates my learning. Thank you! I have several comments: 1) Lenses. Before buying thenS1H, I had 3 bodies (A73, GH5, and EOSR) that I paired with the EF lenses and focal reducer adapters. With exception of A73 video, these lenses have performed very well with all the bodies. In particular, the 35/1.4 ii and 85/1.4 IS works well with the S1H. What lenses do you use besides the cine lenses?; 2) Varicam luts. Do you use these and/or your own? I love how the colors come out. Canon colors were my favorite but recently but I put the EOSR against the S1H for stills and at least for me, the colors on the S1H were more natural, warmer, more sharp, and had better dynamic range. As a hybrid shooter, I expected the video to be better but not for stills. It would be nice to see a comparison between Canon colors and dynamic range vs Panasonic S1H for both stills and videos?; 3) AF (autofocus). I understand that you shoot using manual mode but do you use af in different use cases? I found it better than when GH5 first came out (or during last 2yrs) but hope it will continually improve in future updates as af has it use case as a one person crew; 4) Raw. Since you own both BMPCC 4k and Panasonic S1H, do you think the raw performance on the Atomos Ninja will be able to compare with BMPCC 4-6k BRAW? Much appreciated in advance if you can comment on the above-mentioned! Keep these high quality videos coming. Thank you.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Hey... let me answer: 1: Yes they work very well with the sigma Adapter, not sure which brands of EF you have, but Sigma works like a charm. I use Sigmas and some vintage lenses. 2-Varicam Luts are a bit too much and extreme. I don't use them no. I work on my own and I have some other LUTS I gathered from before. I will be working on releasing some luts soon. So stay tuned ;) I'll wait to see what the R5 will be and maybe i'll compare them. 3-I don't use AF honestly, but when i briefly tried it on S1H I didnt like it 4-There's only 1 way to find out... when they release it I'll be able to answer that. i can't speculate that far honestly. Hope that answered your inquiries ;)

[@nomad0714]

Yes thank you DP Journey!

[@nomad0714]

@ The DP Journey, for the adapter, I use the Sigma MC-21. Thanks!

[@wanderinmindd8638]

Every time I watch your video about S1H, I feel like end up getting it but I sometimes shoot weddings too and I am afraid to say that I find S1H not a very reliable camera when it comes to shooting a wedding in run and gun. (Note: AF is very important when it comes to wedding) Maybe you should make one video about Auto Focus of S1H just to clear the air !

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

NO need for a video about it unfortunately.... AF is bad in the S1H compared to the competition from Sony or canon. If AF is more important than everything else, then don't buy the S1H.

Hi Sherif, thank for another outstanding video! So great to see how much great content you put out about the S1H - Better than many other KZbinrs in my opinion. Question: What are your thoughts on the upcoming Canon R5? Thanks!

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Hey Omer, thanks a lot buddy for the comment about my videos. Happy to have you onboard. The R5 is still too early to talk about it, but I feel there will be a LOT of catches and fine prints in what they claimed publicly. I'm not expecting much from it honestly, knowing canon...

[@Cobra_Khan]

The DP Journey Thanks for your reply, Sherif. Looking forward to your next video!

[@organismx]

I doubts that Canon will allow the R5 to have more DR and better image quality than the C500mkii. And I have yet to see C500mkii footage on youtube that have impressed me like some of the S1H footage that I have seen so far. Maybe those C500 users do not know how to get the best out of the camera🤷🏽‍♂️ , maybe. Maybe it’s my untrained eyes 🤷🏽‍♂️😂 . All I know is that The S1H is pure 🔥🔥🔥. That DR , The V-Log and the Dual IS makes for a serious combo that is worth not having AF. I have to say that The FX9 has way better colors and DR (check out Austin Black s Video, image and grade is amazing) but its also twice the price and 3 times the size. For small budget BMPCC 6K looks better in my opinion but you got to rig it🤦🏽‍♂️. My S1H will be home very soon !!! And I am not worried at all about the canon R5.

[@stevek7319]

Amazing video! I own an S1H and couldn't agree more about these features! I'll add one more positive (and one negative). Positive: The Luminance Spot Meter is amazing! I use it when shooting V-log and it really helps nail the exposure. Negative: The shutter button is ultra-sensitive and I have inadvertently stopped recording by lighting hitting it. I would like to see an option to disable shutter release for video in future firmware.

[@onurt7730]

The best Videos, like always. Thanks Sherif 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Photographicelements]

Yay! Another awesome cine video from my favorite KZbinr! So glad for this video! The S1H keeps getting better, so happy about the Raw option coming soon; I assume it's 4k ProRes Raw? 12bit Raw? (fingers crossed for 14bit Raw at 23.98fps) Not recording in Raw was my major gripe with this camera. Will it be compressed Raw, like REDCode and BRaw? I also wanted larger media than SD cards, but can live with that. As far as image quality, the S1H will rock over the R5; 14+ stops of dynamic range > 8k. Still hoping for a 4:4:4 affordable camera, but the EVA2 will have that? Glad to hear the S1H has waveform, I use that a lot. I was hoping it would also have false color. Histograms can be deceiving, especially in a dark scene. About the lenses... were you referring to L-mount panasonic lenses? or all L-mount lenses? (that can electronically switch from focus by wire to linear). Most Fuji lenses can switch by moving the focus ring. That's a great option. I almost the S1H had two USB-C ports, one for charging and one for data recording, since HDMI is limited to 4k, or one USB-B and one 12G SDI. The S1H is approved by Netflix which is a great selling when talking to clients or producers. I believe this camera will quickly pay for itself for any professional. When it becomes available, I would your opinions on the ZCam F6; I believe it has the same sensor as the S1H. Thanks!

Yeah this camera is surely great so far, has some quirks still that I'm planning to cover in another review episode, but so far it's one of the top Mirrorless cameras out there. ProRes RAW will hopefully be a great feature, I'd say 12bit linear RAW. Let's see. I'm hearing mixed reactions about the Zcam... gotta test it myself honestly. Thanks again for the awesome comment

[@videocieldiffusion]

congrats for the quality of your video (style and content)

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thanks, happy you liked it

[@SuperDarkstar1]

Your videos are really well done. Good job!

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Thanks Yves... you're awesome!

[@JeanMarcAbela]

I watched this twice! I would love to see the lens focus feature you mentioned in action. It works with all lenses or only the Panasonic lenses? Only Lmount lenses? Are you adapting with the Sigma adapter? I really want to sel my GH5 and Sonyaiii and replace them both with the S1H For stills and video and keep my GH5s as my b cam.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Yeah it works with all compatible lenses yes, not only L mount. Not on old vintage lenses of course. I do use the MC-21 adapter. I actually like the A7III for photos. Haven't really tried the S1H photo features, especially that the AF is not reliable

[@JeanMarcAbela]

@@THEDPJOURNEY. The autofocus in photo mode isn't reliable? That's definitely a hit. I thought the S series from Panasonic had good autofocus in photo mode. Man, what don't they just use phase detectors? I might just wait and see the specs on the Canon side.. I just love all the extras that Panasonic puts in their cameras.

[@ubarhd1]

Great informative video thanks 👏🏻👏🏻

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Cheers

[@ricardoduarte6589]

Just amazing coverage. Hard not to fall in love with the S1H after being aware of all those seldom spoken capabilities. Regarding the lenses I wish you had chosen better glasses than the Sigma, a lesser option in the L mount line.

[@apc262]

Thanks for this - saving for later when I rent the s1H to test before buying... What are your thoughts about s1H vs. the upcoming R5?

[@1HDBIZ]

Very high quality content, in both explanation and graphics. I'm impressed! You did not mention another important feature: The ability to precisely adjust the shutter speed when experiencing flicker of lights and/or screens.

[@SportFlow]

Please, make video about useful plugins for FCPX. I really like the transitions and the zoom-in+blur effects. Thanks! Also, it would be great a tutorial of Keynote used for video animation.

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

I actually left all the links to those effects I used in the description ;) enjoy

[@JohnTSteinbeck]

His tools used are Apple Keynote and mCamRig (free plugin for FCPX) from MotionVFX. His creativity is mind-blowing!

[@BobbyWashingtonvlog]

Hello DP Journey, How would the GH5 look together with The S1H on a music video or feature film? Can the cut together well in post and look similar?

[@veecreations7452]

yeah i want to know about this as well. but since both can use v-log, should be about the same?

[@scottag0]

Having just picked up an S1, this video is making me reconsider the move and going with the S1H instead! :D

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

if you're more into video then S1H is for you

[@AlexDerrick_DP]

Just a note, the Varicams are also weather sealed much more so than Red and Arri cameras too! Panasonic is awesome!

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Yeah they do care about weather sealing

[@henryjackson2271]

Dude, after seeing this. Is the S1H not the closest thing we have to a perfect all around camera or what? I also own a GH5 and I really admire the amount of thought, innovation, and attention to detail Panasonic puts into their products. It doesn't seem like they ever hold back. Good to know they kept that going in the S1H. Your content is top notch and it doesn't look like you hold back either! Thank You

[@THEDPJOURNEY]

Hey Henry, yeah it is surely a great camera so far.... there are rooms for improvement for sure. but that's a great all rounder. Thanks for the compliments on my content man. really appreciate it

[@HanzMedia]
