The most underrated camera out there right now
We switched from our old Sony cameras and the Blackmagic Pocket 4K cameras to this. I am very happy with this move. This camera is almost the perfect camera. I wish it could tell you the color temperature when you set the white balance via capturing a white set capture in the white balance. This way we can dial in our lights accordingly. Our Sonys and BM Pocket 4K could do this. The autofocus, the BRAW and ProRes RAW capture via external recorder, the V-Log, the tons of lens we can adapt to this, full frame, great low light performance, tilt screen, Waveform monitor, incredible image, massive amount of codecs, and so much more make this almost the perfect camera. Also, if it had EL Zone or False Color, that would be amazing. If they make an EVA-2 with a large 5″ monitor and built in ND and with all of these things, it would be the perfect camera.

Beauty & The Beast All In One!!!
Firstly, Iâm going to clear it up that Iâm not a professional photographer at all but OMG, this camera is stunning! Before purchasing this camera I bought the Canon 5D Mark IV $2900 + lens Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 $1500 (even though itâs older⦠wanted to use it because I heard it was awesome). Had it for 3 days & found it to be perfect for my except the focusing. I was having issues with focusing which is not great for me since Iâm a YouTube content creator. Maybe it was too much camera for me. Just my honest opinion.Next I purchased the Sony a7 IV $2895 now this one I was very excited because it came with a lens & it was lightweight. If used correctly, it is a WONDERFUL camera. Use it for small video clips & pictures. NOT for long form content because it will overheat! After 10 mins just being on âBOOMâ overheated & believe me I was in a 65° studio room. I love my office to be cold coming from San Francisco moving to Phoenix⦠yeah I need it cold. Not used to the heat. So I noticed overheating issues. Took it outside to take some pictures of my husband doing a golf tournament & once again it overheated after a three minute video clip but Iâm sure it was also because I was under an umbrella outdoors where the heat was 110° so that didnât make it any easier for the camera. Shortform recording excellent, longform nope! Returned it after 2 days. If you live in AZ, forget it. Not a smart purchase.Pretty bummed but decided to order this camera, Lumix S5IIX $2900 (with the lens kit) it was back ordered but was it worth it? YES!!! Itâs crystal clear, the pictures are amazing. Wow! The camera is gorgeous & not as heavy as the Canon. Panasonic has created a beast, seriously. Didnât have to purchase a starter lens which made my purchase feel great & on top of that the auto focus works like magick! The camera is easy to work with, especially from someone who isnât tech savvy at all. The camera isnât as heavy as the Canon but itâs heavier than the Sony of course. But hereâs my favorite part. Took it to my sons jiu jitsu tournament in 104° weather, it didnât overheat! It has a built in fan, omgggg. Next the focus was phenomenal⦠I didnât struggle at all. The stabilization on this camera is smooth as butter to use. Iâm telling you from someone who doesnât know anything about cameras, Iâm hooked. Iâm so obsessed with my camera that I was showcasing it lol. People were asking me what camera did I have at the tournament, because they loved the look. I converted two Canon photographers over to the Panasonic side. No joke, this is a steal. Buy it! It will be worth every penny.Xya Soul ð

A Love Letter to Gorgeous Video
Let me just start with this: the Panasonic LUMIX S5IIX is a beast of a camera, and Iâm pretty sure itâs ruined me for anything else. I bought it as a companion to my trusty S1, thinking, âSure, itâll be nice to have another option.â But now? The poor S1 is collecting dust because this thing has taken over my life.Video Quality Thatâll Make You Double-TakeLetâs talk video, because honestly, this is where the S5IIX really flexes. Iâve always been obsessed with the Arri Alexaâthe OG ones from 2010 that only shoot 2K. (Yes, feature films were shot on 2K! What a time to be alive.) So imagine my shock when I stumbled onto a humble little mode on the S5IIX: 1080p at 24fps.I threw the footage onto my computer, braced myself for typical 1080p meh, andâ¦what?! I literally thought my camera had somehow hacked its way into being an Arri Alexa. Itâs that good. The richness, the cinematic texture, the way it handles highlightsâchefâs kiss. Panasonic, how did you do this? Did you summon the ghost of vintage cinema or cut a deal with Arri under the table?Battery Life That Doesnât QuitNow, Iâm a one-battery kinda guy. (Yes, I live dangerously.) And guess what? This camera gets me. One battery lasts longer than a toddlerâs obsession with bubble wrap, which is saying a lot. Iâve gone through full shoots without having to scramble for a backup, which is rare in the mirrorless world. Itâs efficient, dependable, and maybe just a little bit magical.Unreal Video CodecsI canât even scratch the surface of all the video codec options here because there are too many, and frankly, Iâm too busy shooting to geek out over specs. But trust me, the flexibility is chefâs kiss (again). Whether youâre shooting for a cinematic masterpiece or just trying to impress your friends with how good your brunch looks, this camera delivers.Who Is This Camera For? ⢠If you live for stunning video quality (and I mean jaw-dropping), you need this. ⢠If youâre a one-battery daredevil like me, youâll love how long it lasts. ⢠If you dream of Arri Alexa vibes without selling a kidney, this is it.But if youâre one of those people who just wants to snap pictures of your cat for Instagram? Maybe stick to your phone, buddy. This camera is for people who mean business.Final VerdictThe LUMIX S5IIX is hands-down the best camera Iâve ever used in this price range. Between the insane 1080p quality (seriously, how?!) and the reliable battery life, it feels like Panasonic made this camera just for me. If youâre on the fence, consider this your sign: buy it. Your creative future self will thank you.

I was really happy with the value I received! Buying it as a bundle was worth the extra money! Excellent picture quality!

Wonderful, versatile camera
There is simply no better camera in terms of value per dollar. This will do it all and more.

I’m a beginner in filmmaking. But the footage out of this camera is gorgeous
Easy to use. A lot of features for me (considering that I’m a beginner). Still learning how to use all that it provide. And the final result is way more that I’ve expected.

Fit, finish, build quality and controls are top notch
Relatively new to this level of DSLR, actually this is my first mirrorless AND full sensor hybrid camera. Exploring all the functions and capabilities of the camera will be a journey that Iâm looking forward to. The few images and video Iâve taken are impressive. The auto focus, internal stabilization is impressive and the lenses are high quality and ultra quiet. No regrets moving from Canon to the LUMIX.

try something different
Focus was slow, lens creep was unacceptable, lens cap falls off at the slightest touch
Michael Thai –
Great camera for shooting videos. Highly recommended if you are looking for a video first hybrid camera.
