Why is no one talking about this? S5IIX

[@Kevr0]

I purchased 4 of the s5iix cameras and I was happy after I realized I just needed 8 of these cards. I got the 1 TB micro versions and have filmed several weddings. I’ll just leave them recording for 6-8 hours straight with a battery attached tot he usb. I am a little bit newer to weddings and I always have anxiety about missing important moments.

[@michaelgreenvideo]

4!!! And your a bit newer to weddings! Man that's awesome haha! I wish I could have jumped into the same. Honestly, the second best thing about these cameras is you can get decent B cameras for them for around £600 for the S5, but if you can go all in with the S5IIX's as B cameras then awesome!

[@thatsreallyamoon]

long GOP codecs that can be write on V30 cards are one of the best modern day inventions

[@mtamech535]

I love the GOP as well 👍

[@TheNitpicker]

wow, actually a video about something NO ONE is talking about, thx!

[@thomasjmcclure]

Ive had a s5iix in my cart for ages and youve added another tick to my checklist of reasons to buy it!

[@michaelgreenvideo]

Nice, I am going to release a video on the best way to get a good deal on the camera. But have you check Panasonic website? They sometimes have a great deal, and if you know anyone who is a student they should be able to get you 15% off with studentbeans

[@SirGregoryPageTurner]

Usually a video with a title beginning "Why is no one talking about..." is clickbait. So why did I have a look? I don't know, but I'm glad I did. Thanks for the tip, Michael.

[@michaelgreenvideo]

Ay, that's super encouraging! Cheers buddy!

[@Wildridefilms]

V30 means it has a 30MB/s write speed guarantee. That is about 240 Mbps, which is more than enough for all the Long GOP formats in the camera, which top out at 200 Mbps I believe.

[@Joyful-Yarn]

That was super helpful mate. As an S5IIX owner you’ve just kept me wallet fatter. From a fellow Brit and tea lover.

[@MatthewDangyou]

for 4:2:2 Long GOP I use V30's all the time!! I will suggest using the extreme pro 300/MB/s over the gold Extreme 150MB/s cards. Though the Gold cards work I had one fail on me for a long recording once which was sketchy. Great video mate!

[@michaelgreenvideo]

Appreciate it!

[@MarioCastillion]

This video made me a subscriber!!! Fantastic content, man!

[@pureheartvisuals]

Talk about being invested coming from multiple GH5. I now have a S5 IIX, 3 - S5 II & the S9 for Weddings & Events, these Cameras are absolutely brilliant. Now using Sabrent Rocket V60 256gb Cards and I’m never worried. As someone that shoots paid work on multiple brands LUMIX has set a standard that I am very much appreciative of, being able to use less expensive SD Cards are again just another “Thank You” from me 🍾

[@farren7254]

Great video! I still recommend grabbing some V60 cards (when they are on sale), so that way the file transfers to your computer will be speedy. Some V60 cards even approach the speeds of V90 cards!

[@michaelgreenvideo]

Cheers man, yeah that's a really great point, and honestly the v60 cards are not too bad a price really!

[@farren7254]

@@michaelgreenvideo my go to are the Lexar Gold V60 cards. Almost as fast as V90, but half the cost! (Even less if you get them on sale)

[@joserangelve]

I actually had a V90 when I just purchased it...and a a-Data really small and effective SD, non listed in Panasonics site...but working perfectly well. So thanks...I´ve been buying some of this for daily work!

[@bestinkamloops]

I’ve also found that the V30 cards work for recording most video formats. However, the issue I’ve experienced is when you’re shooting burst photos with V30 cards that’s when you noticed their limitations. They take a really long time to buffer out. Give that a try and you’ll see how slow the V30s are for burst photos. I use Levar V60 cards with no issues.

Just subscribed...love your casual and relaxed music and format!

[@michaelgreenvideo]

Awesome, that’s encouraging, been trying to fit these in around work and another channel I do on faith and spirituality, and all other bits I do, that I just though, “lets just record and share what I know!” Good to be able to add to the community, and hope it becomes useful! What camera do you have?

[@silverlightphotoco]

@michaelgreenvideo Hello from rainy Seattle!!! I've been testing every one of the super low-budget Lumix cameras I can (with limitations on time, money as well) which included the GX1, GH2, GH4, G3, G5, G7, GX85, G85 and my favorite, the FZ000...I have a website where I've been storing all of my test settings...I hope to get a GH5 when budget allows😃

[@HugoElBravo]

this video is so helpful, i was about to buy a s5iix and thinking to buy a v90 for the optimal open gate performance, but looks like theres no need for that, just keep using my v30 thanks a lot man

[@JonackFilm]

Hm I use v60 Cards but I use the S1h. V30 are slow for All intra

[@chrisfigley]

I hear ya. He did say that in the video.

[@jonathanscheurich]

I’ve had problems with the v30 cards in my s5iix shooting long gop with 150mbits on a client shoot outta nowhere. Since then I invested in v60 cards …

[@StudioLD]

I also only have v30s. I’ve heard though that when they get full they slow down a lot and can crash the camera while it records so I’d be careful with that

[@michaelgreenvideo]

Interesting, I have maxed out my 256GB a few times with no issues? Maybe it's the slower versions?

[@StudioLD]

@@michaelgreenvideo I will give it a try for sure

[@HobyLucas-FilmmakerMG]

Yes, that's true; it can handle just about everything except for All-I

[@moojoo1972]

If you want to record to both SD cards at the same time (dual/backup recording), V90 cards are needed for high bitrate codecs.

[@moojoo1972]

My Lumix s5IIX records in 5.8K open gate 10-bit ProRes 422 with external 2T T7 SD.

[@AIexisD]

Isn't open gate only 10bit 420 ?

[@moojoo1972]

@@AIexisD Yes, 10bit 422 at 24fps and 30fps in full frame.

[@MrPamplemouzze]

Thank you for your video. However, could you tell us more about the transfer speed to a computer? 50GB via an SSD to a computer vs. 50GB via V3 to a computer? Thank you.

[@RT_Produkcja]

Yeah what a pitty that there is huuuge issue with the camera when recording on SD cards and NO ONE is talking about is adding some weird electronic noise into the video.... This magically disappear when you use SSD recording instead of SD cards. I got 2xS5IIX and both are facing this issue. Contacted official service - they are aware of it as I am not the first one reporting it - nothing they can do. And its not only me, basically its every S5II/ S5IIX. What a joke is that!

[@KobusGevelspar]

Just lower the in camera amps and up the gain on the audio interface. Lots of cameras have this issue.

[@jordanfrankel-securityexpe8666]

Are there enough auto type setting's for both video & still images that a novice could grow into this camera? Thanks!

[@MTKnockOut]

does v90 or type 2 help rolling shitter or E shutter motion blur do you have a track for the camera? I see this...

[@MTKnockOut]

I noticed pictures are awful on v30 and read that v60 clears a bit of grain, regardless I do want all intra codec ideally, my pc lags in compression playback

[@KobusGevelspar]

No. The card speed does not affect rs performance.

[@MTKnockOut]

@ dang, strange thing is I don’t even see the rolling shutter, maybe I need to use a gimbal but reviewing my footage I don’t even see any rs How ever previous discussion with someone about card speed, they mentioned nothing higher quality and less grain with a better card I imagine this is worthwhile regardless but I need a v90 for sony ): It pays off because my computer is lagging during play back due to video compression as people suggest the all intra codecs help with play back lag

Wow thank you for sharing this. 😊

[@michaelgreenvideo]

No worries, thank for commenting bro

[@swanvictor887]

thanks, a great tip, but I was thinking, if you have spent all that cash for the S52X, specifically for those super-high codex, well, really, you need the V90 don't you? If you are just going to use the non Intra Long-Gop....why buy the X....if you see what I mean?

[@michaelgreenvideo]

So the big sell is the Pro Res which you need the drive for. Which I brought with the camera. But, I only need that if I ever get clients who require Pro Res. But for KZbin bits or other projects I have going on it’s not necessary. Having the drive on the camera though, though small still isn’t super comfortable compared to just the body. But these things are a process, sure one day I will have some V90’s. But they are not essential. Make sense?

[@666davekerr]

Cool vid. Im mainly using my oair of s5ii for photo but trying to so more video for youtube etc. Im using the v30 as thats all i had from my fuji system.

[@michaelgreenvideo]

Awesome, glad you liked it make. Yeah, really that's all you need in my opinion until you have client work that demands it and justifies the extra investment. Subscribed to your channel mate, keep the vids coming!

AS an American who has been wanting to buy this camera for over a year. I am enjoying this video with TEA. About to scoop it once my next wave of cash comes in. I subbed as a fellow content creator! I see a quality future for you!

Hey baddy, just watched your content and the quality looks great as it is!

[@michaelgreenvideo]

I would run with what you have as your content is great and carries the videos - unless you are also looking to make a living making videos for other people. But for what you are doing on your channel the camera looks great. What are you using?

[@CoronadoStudio]

@@michaelgreenvideo I’m using an iPhone 13 Pro. I also film videos part time for side hustle. So a dedicated camera would come in handy. I recently sold my GH5 MFT to get into a full frame camera but my iPhone is holding the fort down momentarily. Good to know the iPhone can even trick a video pro.

[@valp3466]

Well at this rate, if you're not using the external SD to record and not even the All I codec, than it's even better to go for the S5 II rather than the X version as it's even cheaper

[@moviemakerd]

Sony A7SIII can record 4k 50p on V30 sd cards !

Ahah happens the same to me, I buy ssd drive for my s5iix, but I had one card at the office and wend I try that, works great, so now I just use the, rip the ssd drive 😂😂😂😂

Isn't shooting to an external SSD still even cheaper?

If it had cfexpress B I would switch from my x-h2s but that 2tb card i got inside it is insane and cheap.

[@SakaphotoGraphics]

V30 cards are more of a problem for stills photographers shooting in burst mode.

[@coin777]

You know what cheaper? A ssd drive

[@bobbyjames8323]

No reason to use a card at all when you can get a TB ssd for larger storage and transfer speeds.

[@marin_real_estate_photography]

An SSD is nice, but.. I don't think you can do redundant recording while recording to an SSD, so if the USB-C cable unplugs, then that's a bad day. Also, can't use an external USB PD battery if recording to an SSD.

Hey Michael Green, my name is Johnny and I'm a freelance logo designer, would you love to have a logo for your new channel to have a branding image ready for your videographer channel journey to come to make new audience attracted to click in, know where to find your contents and also as merchs prints as well? Let me know if you interested and I love to design it for you! Also, it's nice you be yourself and you drink tea instead of coffee, I like tea more than coffee and alcohol too! :-)

[@HGQjazz]

Yeah, it's a different mindset. People were complaining that the Canon C80 records to SD cards -- yes 'complaining' that it only records cheapo-inexpensive media. I defended the decision saying that the camera doesn't need expensive high speed, proprietary media -- that should be a bonus! Americans are different man, they want new, bigger, faster, longer, heavier. They don't understand economics. They only know that 10 is more than 9. Yes, 'they' -- I no longer identify as 'American.' ;-)

[@michaelgreenvideo]

Haha this comment made me laugh, appreciate you adding to the convo. That was the great thing about the C100. You could film all day on a 60GB Sandisk cheap cheap card with no issues!

Coffee is SO MUCH BETTER than tea.

Lool I am with you mate to be honest! I just happened to have tea there at the time!

[@englishpipe]

Unfortunately, Lumix is IRRELEVANT nowadays. Far are the golden years of the GH2/3/4/5, the G7, the g80, the G9. Lumix used to be class leading photo-video capabilities. Full frame was a dumb movement, m43 has so much potential in terms of stabilisation, fps, processing power, small bodies and lenses. L-mount lenses are scarce, heavy and expensive. That's why nobody talks of the S5 or any other Lumix model. Sony and even Nikon are ahead now in video capabilities.

[@Joyful-Yarn]

You are a bellend.

[@Jaskair]

Great news, big thanks! 🤗 Just for the sake of maximum safety on commissioned work: I am shooting my S5mk2X (mostly just Long GOP) into a SanDisk Extreme PROV90 card in slot 1 and 2. After watching your informative and encouraging video, I am thinking of using a V60 or V30 512GB backup in card slot 2. Any idea would there be issues if the backup (slot 2) is writing into a slower card than the slot 1 ...? I have never had any issues with SanDisk Extreme PRO cards. But backups are a important in all work 😅

[@michaelgreenvideo]

Hey! Glad the video was helpful. Not sure how to help other then trying out, have a play, and see what results you get. As you know you can shoot with different card brands and sizes so as long as you are in Long GOP and have a V30 card which is fast enough it should work? The Extreme PRO's are great though, and ultimately if you have the money it's always a good decision to make so you have access to the ALL Intra whenever you might need it. Thanks again!
