Why The Panasonic Lumix S5ii Wasn't For Me And What I Am Switching To

[@MacM545]

I prefer Lumix, mainly because I'm someone who needs the best performance in dim lighting. The only major downside I remember is that the lens' selection isn't quite as great, at least if the budge isn't there. All cameras that aren't strictly Cine cameras got at least some feature missing in them. For example, no RAW, no stabilization in 4k, no open gate, etc. As far as I know, if RAW capture was more standard for stills cameras, we wouldn't need to worry about colors much, if any. Modern camera decisions aren't simple. There are all of these intricacies or aspects to a camera that need to be considered, so buying a perfect camera is a complex kind of thing. If only I could invest in a proper Cine camera apart from my current photo camera, it would be neat. The S5 II is worth a great value at a relatively affordable price, and that's important if you need to invest much into the lens.

@@MacM545 agreed! While it wasn’t for me I can’t deny its value vs features! And I’d recommend it to anyone where video is their main focus. I appreciate your feedback.

It is a little more pink/magenta but I think it's flattering. Sonys colors haven't gotten much better but they still aren't perfect. Fuji is one of the best but that think can't focus for the life of it. Only thing left for me to try is the Nikon.

@@Princeton_James Nikons are fantastic! I do hope Fuji fixes the firmware that brought about all the issues with AF. Until then it’s Nikon for my paid work too.

You can set up 10 custom modes in C3 you have to add them in the menu. Just saying. Good video though.

Much appreciated!

Yup, shouldn't hold on to anything if it bothers you. Luckily I'm somewhat color blind 😂

Haha. One thing I can say is I've tried every brand now and know what I like. lol. Next video I talk about what I like of each brand.
