Description

LUMIX S5 is a hybrid full-frame mirrorless camera that achieves both excellent performance in photo/video in a compact body designed for aspirational content creators. At the heart of the camera, the LUMIX S5 contains a 24.2-megapixel 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor that boasts a wide dynamic range and high sensitivity performance made possible by sufficient light condensation. The LUMIX S5 further realizes recording maximum ISO51200 crystal-clear high sensitivity video with the adoption of the Dual Native ISO technology. The LUMIX S5 is capable of 4K 60p/50p 4:2:0 10-bit, and 4K 30p/25p 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording. It is also capable of 4K 60p/50p 4:2:2 10-bit HDMI output. For 4K 30p/25p 4:2:0 8-bit internal recording, there is no time limit. Panasonic’s exceptional heat dispersion technology realizes stable, long time video recording. The LUMIX S5 provides 14+ stops of dynamic range, which is as wide as those of cinema cameras, and V-Log / V-Gamut compatibility with popular colorimetry called “VariCam Look”. A variety of recording formats and modes including 4:3 Anamorphic mode, Slow & Quick Motion, 4K/60p interval shooting and 4K HDR are also provided. The LUMIX S5 boasts high-speed, high- precision AF in both photo shooting and video recording that are made possible with advanced deep-learning technology featuring real-time detection of the subject’s type and parts such as human eye, face, head and body. Combining the Body I.S. (5-axis) in the camera and the O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer, 2-axis) in the LUMIX S Series lens, the 5-axis Dual I.S.2 compensates for blurring even powerfully, allowing the use of a 6.5-stop3 slower shutter speed. The splash/dust-resistant rugged design provides professional photographers with high reliability. To enhance the photographic experience, the 96-megapixel High Resolution Mode (JPEG/RAW), Live View Composite function and HLG Photo mode are available.

    • Excellent video, with minor issues
Style: Body only Set: Base
I have been using this for at least two years. The stand out features of this is the video quality, and IBIS. I primarily use this for video in 10 bit. The good I do not have overheating issues when shooting in 10 bit mode, though in 90F heat I do feel it get noticeably warm after an hour. I have not had it shut down on me. The battery is typically safe for 1:30 of 10 bit footage (1:45 or 1:50 total possibly) when using the LCD. Using 3rd party batteries there is at least 15% less run time on average. When comparing against the Sony A7, there is the light weight construction (sony is no different) control ergonomics (something sony lacks) and control options (way better than sony). The video quality is better than my D850. I have at least four video profiles set up on my camera depending on the situation, but you can have more under C3 by going through the menu. I have shot it in (almost) complete darkness and was able to get usable footage after some light cleaning (flat profile). For sound, the auto limit works and keeps things from clipping. The 20-60mm lens is pretty good as a kit video lens for most things. It has a sharpness falloff after 35mm or so, but most of my use is at 20mm. The LCD screen can be customized to your liking with multiple options. There are several profiles to choose from, and you can additionally tweak most of them. I use Cine-D for outside, Natural for indoors, Flat for low light and the last one is the 8 bit mode in 709 for long shooting. Lots of control here. No issues with Auto-focus when shooting pictures. Having the options to choose either e-shutter or mechanical is an advantage when you want to shoot silently. Fun with manual focus lenses with focus peaking enabled along with IBIS. The not so great Battery life indicator does not have % indication. This makes it difficult to tell if you have 5 more minites of video life left or 30 seconds, when running thr battery down. Though normally getting the battery that low to begin with is bad practice. The supplied charger is no good. It takes too long, costs too much and takes up more space than needed. I use the XTAR 4 bay charger to charge multiple batteries. So the auto focus can hunt some times, which typically happens when there is low light (when you're at iso 12800). This can happen with rapid subject changes too. This isn't news. It's typically not an issue most of the time in normal light with subject tracking enabled. The built in sound pre-amps are good enough, but external recorders will be cleaner. I never use the built-in microphones. When taking pictures, the D850 is clearly better. The Nikon has a better grip, even if bigger and heavier, for my hands. The grip on the S5 hurts my hand after extensive shooting. Buffer depth is not high enough on the S5 for my liking, though it's fine once you put a V90 card in. My biggest annoyance is that the Nikon gives me all of the options that I need to tune the Jpeg output where it's perfect out of the camera, but this isn't the case with the Panasonic. What the Panasonic is missing is a separate brightness option, that allows me to pull down shadows in a specific way while boosting highlights without clipping everything. In Raw, I more or less can get there - obviously slightly different due to being different brands. Exposure drift on static objects. When using auto-iso in video on a static scene the camera will sometimes start to overexpose by two stops for some reason. Switching to manual iso drops you all the way to the base, which ruins the footage. Dialing in exposure compensation while this starts to happen is an experience of chasing your own tail. This is with the latest firmware. The USB-C port on my camera does not work off external power when recording. I verified this with a USB power meter. I use a dummy battery with a USB-C connector in to a battery. This runs without issue except when the battery gets depleted, which causes an abrupt end to the video corrupting it - Panasonic provides a software tool to rescue your footage and it does work. Battery grip tax. Some brands charge obscene amounts of money for battery grips, which is mainly plastic and some wires, and Panasonic is no different. Other The electronic image stabilization can introduce artifacts in to your footage, but this is expected behavior. While the IBIS does work, it's not magic and shaky footage will still be ruined. I like controls to be lockable against accidental changes, this is a feature of typically expensive DSLRs for pro's. One thing that can happen is that the switches might move. The focus switch might get changed, or your burst mode selector type (leftmost dial) might switch to a different burst mode without realizing it. This is typically a risk when you have the camera hanging off while you walk around - from repeated brushing up against clothes. Versus the S5 II and X Looking at the specifications, the main stand out feature for me is the ability to record 10 bit without a time limit. I have lost some moments because I was not paying enough attention, granted that is ultimately my fault. The second attractive feature is the larger buffer for taking images. With this I would not need to keep V90 cards just for pictures and keep the large capacity V30 cards for video in the camera. The better auto focus comes with a cost, mainly reduced ability to pull up shadows due to banding. This S5 does not have banding. But I suspect for most this will be the main desired feature. ... show more

    • Pro camera, consumer price

Review Image by Matthew Zilic Matthew Zilic
I used an S5 for a published shoot a couple years ago. And while my main workhorse camera for pro photo and video gigs has become my Fuji XH2, this camera was always a great camera to use. Great results etc. so when prime had a deal (I think it was one day) to get an s5 body for under $1,000 new… I jumped on the deal. I was looking for a basic, less expensive travel camera so I could leave my Fuji for work. If you’re a photographer/videographer that relies on the best auto focus or ai tools… this isn’t the camera for you. But for anyone who has used DSLRs and wants an updated camera for a very good price… this is great. It beats the z5 in lowlight and autofocus (based on my experience). And the video capabilities are fantastic. If you rely on the most advanced autofocus and ai tools, the Sony a7iv and a6700 are fantastic for those, and offer great video capabilities. If your looking for an 8k output from internal recording that from my experience outclasses the a7iv, and want amazing color and overall performance… grab an XH2 from Fuji. But if you’re looking for a great travel camera, or even pro camera and want to save a bit of money… the S5 is a great option. While Sony and Fuji beat it in continuous tracking autofocus, I’ve never had an issue get tack sharp focus on subjects at weddings, studio work, or just basic travel or vacation shots. In fact I have found it on par with Nikon z6ii and noticeably better than the Nikon z5. For video, its fantastic for the price (unless you rely on fast accurate autofocus for filming). In my experience, having made numerous narrative short films and commercial videos and a feature film (which is on Amazon prime video), all my professional video work has required manual focus. Ive tried the best af cameras... but they can't read minds. Absolutely no camera can focus auto focus on a generic spot in space so that a character or product comes into focus as they enter that space. Af will give you a shift in focus to the actor or product etc. So af just isn't the choice for pro video work (from my experience). I could give a class on all the ways the best af messes up in real world use. So I'm not knocking the s5 at all. I love this camera. Fantastic ibis for handheld or run and gun video. Great lowlight video. 4000 iso looks fantastic and can be pushed a good bit. Raw video with external recorder. Lots and lots of bang for the buck for anyone starting out with short films or commercial work. Get this camera on sale, pick up a lenses, lights, and a mic... all for the cost of an a7iv body. Then save up and grab an s5iix or higher end body down the road and make this your b cam. ... but you will be disappointed if you want to set up the camera to film yourself as you move around and expect af to keep up with you. ... show more

    • Swiss Army knife Camera I've been waiting for
Style: w/ S5 Lens Kit Set: Base
I love my Gh5. It's made a lot of great videos and it's made me a LOT of money over the years. My only gripe was the M4/3 format for several reasons. This camera does everything the Gh5 did so well and so much more. Although I have many cameras for various situations, if you can only afford one camera, this would be a great choice for video and photo. PROS: -Full Frame + APS-C modes -96MP still images -24MP video images give you great image resolving -easy to use menu just like the Gh5 -in-camera time-lapse video creation is so great and builds on the Gh5 -the sigma EF adapter is perfect for all of my EF lenses -auto focus is greatly improved over other Panasonic cameras -Log film mode built-in -resolves clean blacks even at ISO 20,000 (can be cleaned up in post if ISO exceeds 20,000 -the lens it comes with is perfect for gimbal use although it's aperture-situation isn't ideal -6K recording coming soon -dual SD card slots -great battery life -uses XLR-1 -great dials -heavy duty construction -no moire filter, so it resolves the every last MP of imaging power while still adequately reducing moire CONS: -auto focus still lags behind Sony (but I almost never use it, so not a concern for me) - as many will be upgrading from Gh5 its a bummer it uses a different battery -viewfinder should have been upgraded, it's quality is now outdated -slow motion is in APS-C mode -10 bit mode is hard for editing software to process -no all intra ... show more
