About this deal

DPRTV has tested quite a few m4/3 Panasonic cameras, but that's probably because there are quite a few of them. The S5II X also gains ALL-Intra recording up to 4K/60p 10-bit 422 with a crop or 4K/30p 10-bit 422 with no cropping, whereas the S5 II can only record in LONG-GOP.

and 740g (with memory card, hot shoe cover and battery) it’s still significantly smaller and lighter than cameras such as the Panasonic Lumix S1R and S1.

I like to shoot low key in bright weather to maintain highlights, and brightening those images in post reveals clean detail in dark shadows. is the obvious choice for someone who is moving up from a compact camera, as it's very compact, affordable, and constant aperture, but it doesn't go quite as wide. I recorded long video sequences (for the purpose of testing rather than actual creation) and the S5 II does the job with no fuss.

However, those wishing to record to an external SSD connected via the USB-C connection will find the screen’s movement is a little restricted.All I am saying is that they tend to forget the 'not so goods' or seem to have overseen some clear omissions in comparison to its peer competitors. This means that the exposure mode is set via the dial on the right of the top-plate and the dial on the left is used to set the drive mode. There are a host of other video assist features in Lumix cameras, not specific to the S5II X, which is a strength of this system. I found that the S5IIX’s Human subject detection is very quick and even in gloomy conditions, it is fast to latch onto a person’s face or eye. If the resolution is higher than C4K, the frame rate is higher than 60p or set to ProRes, the camera may stop the recording to protect itself.

S5IIX Panasonic Announces Highly Anticipated LUMIX S5II and S5IIX

Without doubt, at least one of these two cameras will be vying for camera of the year in many people’s considerations for 2023.The two short videos below were shot using the Panasonic Lumix S5IIX in 4K (3840×2160) at 25p 4:2:0 10-bit LongGOP and 72Mbps. The S5 IIX, however, offers Long GOP (smaller file sizes) and All-I (higher quality) compression options.

The footage looks good in a way I have never seen from Sony A7's because the signal noise ratio of those cameras is incredibly bad and covered up with horrible noise reduction. It can even stream up to 4K/60p over a Wired Lan connection, while Wi-Fi streaming maxes out at FHD/60p. What’s more, the S5 II isn’t limited to 16:9 video aspect ratio (or wider) like most cameras, but can record from the full sensor area, which in the S5 II is 3:2 aspect ratio. It’s a bright display that can be seen in direct sunlight and dimmed so as not to be too distracting in low-light scenarios. It’s possible that performance could be improved by recording to a faster memory card like CFexpress, but the S5 II only accepts twin SD cards with UHS-II support.

Constructed from magnesium alloy with weather seals for dust and moisture protection, both cameras share the same control layout. and 4:2:2 10-bit All-Intra directly to SSDs, which combine portability and high capacity has improved efficiency in data backup and post-processing. The headline feature of both S5 II cameras was the inclusion of Hybrid Phase Detection Autofocus, which delivered a significant leap in performance for continuous autofocus for video.
