Recently got the s5iix myself, lumix does throw everything and the kitchen sink in their cameras. Great value for the money.

[@OasisExplorer]

Excellent choice for videos. S5IIX is an amazing mini cine camera, I have been having lot of fun since last year with it.

[@KofiYeboah]

Welcome to the tribe brother man!

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Hahaha the darkside

[@quiztasiarocks]

I’m waiting for the S1H II. Excited to see what comes with that camera.😊

[@sweet-triple-UK]

Got myself the S5IIX a few months ago and still growing into it, nice to see the open gate in action as I haven't started using that feature yet!

[@1rcbking]

I got the s5, had it for a few years, it is an everyday work horse, very solid and dependable, been in rain, mud and heat.. has never let me down. The image quality is still amazing. The s5 2 is definitely on my wish list just for the auto focus alone, if not anything else…

[@joserangelve]

I use an Adata SSD, not listed, and works perfectly well. I love this camera.

[@MrJapanforce]

proud user of Lumix cameras since 2008. Never looked bacl. Lumix for ever.

[@50450720]

The S5iix offers unbeatable value for money, great colour science, decent AF (at last) excellent ibis and goid battery life for a very hood price.

[@harryvlogs7833]

Nah excellent af very much on par with sony

[@smokelessfire]

I bought this camera. I felt a bit mislead by reviews on KZbin since almost no one mentions that you can only record open gate in LongGOP. Not B.raw, not ProRes, not allintra, not with an SSD. All of which are much better than LongGOP. Even when attaching an external recorder, open gate is only LongGOP.

[@pitterpatterlf]

Whoa that's a major cripple, I've never seen that mentioned by anyone!

[@danielbarajasmedia]

Welcome to the club. I switched, but I'm not done with Sony. Got rid of my A7RV for the S5IIX. It's a tool and so many Sony fanboys/girls get butt hurt when they hear people moving from Sony to other brands. Some don't use these tools for an income and don't really understand it at times. I'm a Sony fanboy. As a realist, I knew buying the S5IIX was a no-brainer for the work I do.

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Haha yeah that seems to be the go for the whole internet. People forgetting that they’re tools for the job we need to do and the s5iix is exactly that

[@sardanapalos]

@@sardanapalos other than 4k 60p full frame there is no reason to go Sony. It might change in a couple of months though

[@JaredBishopFilms]

I've been using the s5ii for 1.5ish years and love it. I kept dreaming about the A7siii and fx3 for wedding films, then had the chance to use them and was surprised that I immediately missed the S5ii. Also for grading V-log I've been loving Panasonic's official "vintage" LUT, it's been even easier to work with than the standard Rec709 official LUT due to how it handles highlight rolloff.

Been using mine since release, external BRAW with ibis and autofocus is an absolute game changer, minimal processing looks so good with the 6K BRAW!. And then running stripped down with internal/SSD recording is lovely. Absolute powerhouse in a small body.

[@LOLA6ifyable]

S5 II owner here , great little camera , Personally it's far from being my favorit but it is great. I plan on adding the 1.8 primes for AF videos , and Meike cina T 2.1 for manual focus work , they look great to start with .

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Sony gotta start offering open gate

[@aldolega]

Only if the S1HII (or whatever it's called) comes soon and with the right featureset and price. The S5II/X are not going to do the trick, especially once the A7V comes out around the same price point.

[@TrailBlazer5280]

I currently own the Lumix G9 m4/3 and i love it. total tactical camera and well rounded for a non-specialist like me. But Im dying to get to full frame before I start upgrading my lens. This one looks amazing and seems to be a good option to move up.

[@zakross]

I am really glad I bought myself the Panasonic S5iix. Well worth the upgrade coming from a GH series.

[@RandallMartinPL]

You should also buy Blackmagic Video Assist and you can record BRAW out of lumix which is amazing codec, and color science is great, and you can do a lot in post with it, it is far superior to internal HVEC and even proresRAW...

[@theseventh2609]

Love your vibe bro 💪🏽🎥🔥

[@ThiagoSIlva-ks6mx]

OMG, Welcome to the Lumix!

[@JpeterZoom-gt3pn]

I am looking at getting a S5 or S5II or S5IIX..probably more like a S5II not sure if I would use the extra features of the S5IIX

[@n53441984]

I feel the same way! Since I don’t use those extra features.

[@JeffOrigOfficial]

S5iiX is a such a great tool. We have BlackMagic and Sony cameras as well but keep on using the S5iix for pretty much everything now because everything you mentioned. If you need autofocus lenses, consider the Canon EF lenses with the Sigma to L adapter. We pretty much bought the full lineup of Canon EF lenses used since so many people are switching to RF. The autofocus works great and the EF lenses can go on our Blackmagic and Sony cameras as well.

[@RandallMartinPL]

Are they really? i was wandering how the sigma Adapter makes the lenses work with AF. Maybe its worth looking into. I just bought Sigma 28-45 f.1.8 zoom whitch is amaziing best zoom aut there for L-mount for filmmaking, but some canon lenses are also great.

[@jeansebastienleger]

I have an Ursa G2, and I’m looking for a B cam. I was considering the S5IIX, but I didn’t know the adapter allows AF for EF lenses. That’s nice to hear! ;-) By the way, are you happy with the image quality compared to your Blackmagic? That’s my main concern, to be honest. At first, I was considering the Komodo because I fell in love with the global shutter and the image quality.

[@RandallMartinPL]

@@jeansebastienleger after buying blackmagic video assist I can change to blackmagic color science and it's great. Using internal Lumix codec its not as good. But it's important to mention when outputting raw to video assist you don't have open gate with I miss and you don't have iso control in BRAW settings you can use exposure slider that gives you the full dynamic range available. But the overall look is indistinguishable.

[@jeansebastienleger]

​@@RandallMartinPL I don't have the Blackmagic Video Assist yet, only the Ninja V. Do you know if it's possible to record BRAW with the Ninja? To be honest, I was waiting for the S1H Mark II, but I thought it would be released this year, and there's still no news about it. I think I'll wait until the end of the year and see if anything comes up before making a decision 😉

[@JeffOrigOfficial]

@@jeansebastienleger I love my S5iiXs and I am very happy with the image quality but I also loved my Blackmagics. We were on the Pocket 4K so that is not a fair comparison to the Ursa G2. If you're considering the Komodo for global shutter, the S5iiX has kind of terrible rolling shutter. The S5iiX is really good for certain kinds of projects and shooters. If autofocus, shooting stills, and budget/value are important then the S5iiX and S5ii are great options. We do a lot of multicamera stuff so I need at least 3-4 bodies. And I prefer having all the same bodies. It makes moving from one camera to another much easier on our brains. I seriously considered the Komodo and Komodo X as well but budget, autofocus, and shooting stills were important for us. We don't shoot a lot of fast moving, high action stuff so the global shutter isn't that big a deal to us. The S5iiX offers us the most flexibility. We can shoot VLOG on almost everything except the most fast turnaround stuff. And VLOG is so easy to work with. Plus, if we need to shoot RAW it's super easy with a Blackmagic Video Assist or an Atomos. If you are on the fence, I highly recommend renting an S5iiX for a week or two. Do your tests, etc. and see if it is a good match for you.

[@millerrd0725]

I have the lumix s5ii and its just as good as the s5iix LUMIX really hit a home run with this camera

[@Pachiscruz2]

Love to see what you create with this camera

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Can’t wait

[@dccoletrain]

I still want to try a cheap anamorphic lens on my Fuji X-S20 that also has open gate but not all the video tools of Lumix.

[@MrJayclas]

Sirui 1.33x anamorphic lenses are perfect!

[@milanjani]

good info. but i heard it has very bad moire issues. any thoughts?

[@aldolega]

If you don't need the SSD functionality, a used S1H would arguably be a better choice for this use case (manual anamorphic lenses). The S1H has an OLPF so no aliasing/moire, and less processing/sharpening than the new cameras (S5II/S5IIX/S9), which are a little crunchy-looking, especially in the linear profiles.

[@the_black_douglas9041]

S1H open gate is only 48Hz or 60Hz, no 50Hz…so old PAL system countries (like Australia) where productions are 25fps/50Hz, can be a bit compromised. No such issues on the S5iiX, and you can send it away to Kolari for OLPF conversion if you have a spare US$699

[@moojoo1972]

I am okay with a black pro mist 1/8 filter which I use on any digital camera anyway. Yes. but I should still want to avoid those situations by changing the angle of shooting.

Lumix internal cooling is definitely a huge win.

[@diegoweidemann]

I think, thanks to the latest update, you can record simultaneously to an SSD and an SD card using the “proxy recording” feature (or something like that). I’m not sure about the highest quality you can choose though, but it saves you in a pinch !

Open gate plus true Super 35 mode at 10.4ms rolling shutter. I have the S1 and Cinema 6k and use the Black Magic Video Assist for the S1 and it now shoot in 5.9k not just open gate but 6k in 17:9 as well. I now have 2 6k cameras. The S1 is 5 years all with every feature you mentioned for the S5iix. Just shows how far behind Sony truly is. Sony is just getting shutter angle. We had it for years. I think Sony e mount is the issue, take your lens off and you’ll notice the sensor corners are covered by the mount itself.

[@metreweli]

[@bradleyjadir5849]

Been eyeing up those s5s for sure. Just so gutted to loose all the Sony glass on them so probably holding out to see if the a75 gives us anamorphic support. Hopefully the pressure from other brands will make them see the light on this.

Just like the A6700 hs A7IV autofocus battle, how are you going to believe someone who says that "boxing the subject is better than actually acquiring the shot within the selected AF points", A7IV has 90 percent hit rate while A6700 barely does 70.
