What is Panasonic doing?!

[@quiztasiarocks]

The game changer for the S1H II has to be if Lumix put in internal nds with little to no colour shift. I doubt they will in a mirrorless body, but god I want them.

[@Eric.mov_]

The S5IIX punches well above it's weight and competes with higher end cameras that cost almost double. I bought an S5IIX over the Fx3 because it basically does everything the Sony does minus the higher frame rates. Better codecs, better image stabilization, better colors (yeah this is subjective I know) and it was less than half the price. The S1HII is has the potential to be the camera to beat all other cameras. I just hope Panasonic doesn't cripple it

[@adnan_velic]

@@Eric.mov_ the s5iix is a great camera and I mentioned it in the video but it’s not competing with an fx3 in the video department not only in frame rates but also rolling shutter and low light capabilities. It’s also not competing with a z6iii which is the s5iix main competitor and it’s definitely not competing with a z8. My point here was that Panasonic doesn’t have a high end body to compete in 2024. I also think Panasonic is cooking up something special with Arri and I would love to see this match made in heaven produce something incredible.

[@fredriksvard2603]

Idk. The moire/flickering means it gives you a taste of high end but it's also crippled. Production companies with decent budgets won't skimp on the camera, going from s5ii to fx3 isn't a big jump for them. Fun camera for run and gun solo shooters and hobbyists.

In Italy we say Coffee should have the 3 C: Comodo (Comfy), Caldo (Warm), Corto (Short), But shure if you get over 30 sec it's gonna cool down Buddy, Thanx for the "espresso respect", Anyway Coffee a part, awesome video. Rock On!

[@adnan_velic]

@@MaxPhotoGraphic I like this 3 C’s you have in Italy. Thank you for watching the video really appreciate it 🙏🙏

[@Khainchi]

And more importantly Panasonic has to walk this camera out sooner than later cause this is the best time to capture some market Sony people were waiting eagerly on fx3ii but no signs of that camera yet and sh1ii can very well be a killer that can win all them waiting on an fx3mark 2,and why not s1h next thing is long overdue but Panasonic is weird

[@ExaltedMediaInc]

you are right about the 30 second rule

[@adnan_velic]

@@ExaltedMediaInc you know what whenever I drink my espresso after that 30 seconds I feel like it becomes way more bitter.

1:30 in 5 Years Panasonic has relesed S1H S1R S5 S5ii S5iix S5D S9 G9ii GH6 GH7

[@adnan_velic]

For sure! My point here is that they haven’t released anything to compete with z8, r5ii, fx3. The entire video is about Panasonic HAS to release something to compete with these cameras and I think they will.

[@aiseurnae5976]

The S1H/S5/S5II/S5IIX/S5D and S9 use the same sensor. This is the same story with the G9II/GH6/GH7. Their full frame are limited to 4K30fps full sensor and they still have pretty bad rolling shutter. They have absolutely nothing to compare with the R5/A1/Z6III/Z9 etc.

[@coin777]

@@aiseurnae5976 wrong

[@adnan_velic]

@@aiseurnae5976 this is a great point and exactly where I was going with in my video. Major crop at 4k60 on the s5iix meanwhile the z6iii can shoot 6k60 and in nraw and ProRes raw for a little more. Panasonic has a lot to catch up to.

[@diluteduk]

Panasonic released the S9 this year. Full frame.

[@adnan_velic]

@@diluteduk that’s a vlogging camera. My point is Panasonic hasn’t released anything to compete in the flagship space.

[@xanderross]

Is it really necesseray to release a new model every year or so instead of doing maybe software updates (when possible). Sometimes, I have the bad impression Camera manufacturers are doing the same thing than Smartphone one, releasing a brand new model each year, but just with a new feature... When I see some models from Panasonic, like the G9, 2.5yrs of updates and after that, done...

[@adnan_velic]

@@xanderross I don’t think every year but the s1h hasn’t been updated in like 4 years. I think it’s due for an upgrade actually their entire s1 line up needs a refresh.

[@jimgiraffe5253]

panasonic spent all their r&d budget on employing smooth brain youtubers as part of their marketing team , chasing that social media / opengate / vertical crowd.,.. a proper race to the bottom. you know the real time luts are just so much fun ? their marketing team need sacked off and a drastic course correction needed.

[@adnan_velic]

@@jimgiraffe5253 man I hear you on this! Seems like these brands are focusing more on bloggers over filmmakers who spend serious money on their cameras.

[@The_M_and_R]

Please share what camera and lens you used to record this talking head video. Also settings like ISO and picture profile used like log or anything else.

[@adnan_velic]

@@The_M_and_R hey! This is with xh2s and 16-55mm f2.8. Flog2 converted to arri log c3 in resolve using CST. Then I adjusted the highlights a bit and mid Townes slightly. I also moved the hue to orange a little because the image was too blue and cold. Hope this helps!

[@adnan_velic]

Also ISO 1250 here.

[@adnan_velic]

Auto WB but next time I will manually set WB.

[@rubeeprod]

I dont know what about u guys, but I’m leaving pana… I can’t wait no more… waiting for a S1r II from 2 years now… they really need to change their sensor

[@adnan_velic]

@@rubeeprod what are you shooting with now?

[@rubeeprod]

@ S5ii 💯 but need more megapixel

[@BuzzAdven]

S5R

[@adnan_velic]

@@BuzzAdven like a high resolution S5?

[@BuzzAdven]

@@adnan_velic Indeed, I think its just rumours right now.. But honestly, Im not sure how well that would go as high res generally impacts low light and noise performance in video.. So it makes me think its not a good rumour, since the S5/ii/iix lineup has generally been a "video first" camera.

[@CINENIMUS]

Panasonic is doing what they done best for ages, sell cheap camera bodies. The hallo cameras don't really sell and they will release S1 successor when the cheapo sales dry out. If you can't make amazing images with these cheap cameras - the much more expensive camera wont make any difference.

[@adnan_velic]

@@CINENIMUS I agree to a certain extent with you… A z8 isn’t $4000 just because it’s $4000 for no reason it’s because it has better rolling shutter, ProRes raw, nraw, good dynamic range, 8k 60, 4k120, great photography these are all things Panasonic does NOT have. These are all tools filmmakers use. It’s not ONLY about making the image look good it’s about making the image look good under any environment. Panasonic needs a high end body because the s5iix is very much outdated compared to the competition.

[@fredriksvard2603]

@@adnan_velic I'm pretty confident Panasonic has made a conscious decision not to focus on high end bodies. It's the other way around, the competition is outdated compared to the s5iix. The competition isn't z8 or 8k 4k120 cameras, that's not the space the s5iix occupies and it's not the space Panasonic tries to compete in. They're doing well catering to the budget market who's willing to live without those features. Providing full frame bodies with good stabilization at a low price is a good idea, the only real world problem now is that the moire renders the s5ii useless for those critical pro shots.
