Lumix S5II

Idk what camera you are using but my om-3 autofocus is a lot better than my Lumix s5ii and about 80% as good as my canon r8

Did pretty much the same thing a year ago with the Lumix S5ii. Got caught into hype and grass is greenered my way to Lumix. Missed Sony superior autofocus and customizing features. Sold my Sony kit at a loss for Lumix, realized Sony is my system, sold my Lumix kit at a loss, and bought back in to So

The AF part- 100% my experience (with s5ii at least, the s1ii should be only tad better). The “wide zone +tap to track which actually works and doesnt loose subject” mode on sony is ideal for run&gun/ events and panasonic just makes you concentrate on checking if the focus didnt drifted off instead

I've had some trouble with the S5ii AF, but that's because it locked onto the wrong subject, never because it was slow. Unless by "key moments" you mean something sudden and unexpected, which I have no experience of, it seems a bit strange. Barring the lens' performance (I only use Lumix glass, so I

I have most Panasonic cameras but also the A7CII and the Z6III. I agree with you about the video processing in H265/H264/Prores. Since the S5II the video engine is pretty bad. The A7CII is just much better. What you said about the people skin is true, when cropping inside the videos, it has smoothed

Does it overall feel snappier than the s5ii? Faster boot, faster switch between modes, faster auto focus etc? I used the a7iv before I bought the s5iix and that thing feels instant with everything, with the lumix is feels like everything is a bit delayed, even when pressing the shutter

As a filmmaker (not videographer) the last reason you should choosing a camera for is Autofocus. Just keep practicing manual, you'll get there. Mistakes when focusing manually look far nicer (even 'cinematic') than with AF which is jarring. How can you be sure the AF on the S5ii is all its chalked u

I have most Lumix camera and about IBIS and AF, it's true the S1II is much better. However, image quality is the most important thing for me and the S5 has much nicer fine details. In my opinion, the S1II (like the S5II) is a downgrade compared to the S5 if you don't need fast AF.There is however a

I switched over to Lumix S5ii due to the image being way better and regret it. I totally grass is greener’d and miss Sony autofocus real bad. I’m going to pick up another Sony and use the Lumix as a b-cam, as well as a handheld b-roll camera because the IBIS is so frickin good.

Standard profiles are worse across the board (more contrast, worse colors, more sharpening, more noise, more noise reduction which leads to bad fine details) In pictures it’s not so much of an issue because you can easily shoot raw. I also happen to think the S5ii/X is a much better stills camera th
