1 00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:04,800 - Okay, so, Canon's released a camera recently. Sony's released cameras recently. 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,460 Blackmagic has released cameras recently. RED has released cameras recently. 3 00:00:08,460 --> 00:00:15,160 Who's left? Panasonic. And Panasonic has their new S5 4 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,723 which is the little brother to the S1H and the S1. 5 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,360 So, let's see what they've included from those cameras in this camera 6 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,490 and where it sits in the product lineup. So I haven't used a Panasonic camera extensively 7 00:00:28,490 --> 00:00:33,220 since the GH4. And since Panasonic released the GH5, 8 00:00:33,220 --> 00:00:36,750 while it was a really good camera and I'm sure lots of people were very happy with it, 9 00:00:36,750 --> 00:00:40,980 because it was micro four thirds, it didn't really appeal in terms of flexibility, 10 00:00:40,980 --> 00:00:47,730 in my opinion, to us. But the S5 is a full frame offering from Panasonic. 11 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,020 Now, the S1 and the S1H were also both full frame offerings, 12 00:00:52,020 --> 00:00:55,830 but they were much more expensive than this camera is. 13 00:00:55,830 --> 00:01:01,530 And so the S5 sits in a price bracket that is much more accessible to people who are just getting 14 00:01:01,530 --> 00:01:06,730 into photography or also want a camera that's really good at video and photography at the same time. 15 00:01:06,730 --> 00:01:10,370 And I feel like Panasonic may have done a reasonable job here. 16 00:01:10,370 --> 00:01:12,170 So, let's see what they've included. 17 00:01:13,410 --> 00:01:19,440 We have a manual. Which to be fair, honestly, shout out to people 18 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,100 whom write camera manuals, because while I don't often use them, 19 00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:27,150 every time I've had a small problem and actually referred to the manual, 20 00:01:27,150 --> 00:01:31,340 it is usually well-written. So, good job to all the people out there 21 00:01:31,340 --> 00:01:36,063 who work really hard to write these, because they are unappreciated. 22 00:01:36,990 --> 00:01:42,280 So, right off the bat, one of the things that has never had me switch from using a Panasonic camera 23 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:47,030 is their new use of the L-Mount, which is a Leica mount. 24 00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:51,210 Panasonic has always had a really good relationship with Leica, so they've always had this partnership 25 00:01:51,210 --> 00:01:54,720 that has allowed them to use each other's technology in their cameras. 26 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,890 And so when Panasonic released the S1H and the S1, 27 00:01:57,890 --> 00:02:03,260 they decided to go with the L-Mount. And the reason that the L-Mount didn't appeal to me 28 00:02:03,260 --> 00:02:06,720 at the time was the limited amount of lenses 29 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,723 especially at the beginning. Now, that has improved slightly, 30 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,830 but I don't know if it's improved enough 31 00:02:14,830 --> 00:02:21,760 to warrant most people to switch. But let's just see how the camera actually stacks up. 32 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,220 And despite the limited amount of lenses, how it might compare to something like 33 00:02:26,220 --> 00:02:31,390 the a7 III or the EOS R, which is where this camera sits in terms of competition. 34 00:02:31,390 --> 00:02:35,740 So, included in the box is this 20 to 60 kit lens. 35 00:02:35,740 --> 00:02:42,380 Now, this lens comes at a cost of about 300 US dollars more than the standard body. 36 00:02:42,380 --> 00:02:47,560 And if you are just starting out, that is a fairly affordable price to pay for a lens that has a reasonably good range. 37 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,353 Now, unfortunately, it's an f/3.5 to 5.6, 38 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,470 so you're not going to get the best low light 39 00:02:55,470 --> 00:02:59,470 or shallow depth of field performance from this thing. But again, if you're just starting out and you're learning, 40 00:02:59,470 --> 00:03:04,410 this is going to be a good range. And it does feel like a really high quality kit lens, 41 00:03:04,410 --> 00:03:08,030 honestly, like the heft isn't bad, but it's also not too heavy 42 00:03:08,030 --> 00:03:12,520 that it's annoying to carry around, because one of the benefits of this camera is 43 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:18,350 that it is so lightweight. Now, I haven't held the GH5 that many times. 44 00:03:18,350 --> 00:03:22,200 But the cool thing is the S5 comes in both 45 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,330 smaller and lighter than the GH5, 46 00:03:25,330 --> 00:03:32,840 which is really impressive considering this thing has a full frame 47 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:38,970 24.2 megapixel sensor. Now, is it the same sensor that's in the S1H? 48 00:03:38,970 --> 00:03:44,450 Panasonic has not actually officially stated that that's the case, but the resolution is the same, 49 00:03:44,450 --> 00:03:47,730 and the raw 5.9K output that's gonna come later 50 00:03:47,730 --> 00:03:50,780 in December is also the same. 51 00:03:50,780 --> 00:03:54,520 So, it might be, I'm not sure. 52 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,560 But, really cool that in this body, 53 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,220 they have a full frame sensor. Before we do the physical tour, let's see what else came in the box. 54 00:04:02,220 --> 00:04:06,253 So we have a single charger. 55 00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:11,070 A USB type C cable. 56 00:04:11,070 --> 00:04:14,423 And then a wall wart for that USB type-C cable. 57 00:04:15,660 --> 00:04:20,240 And a lens, which, I mean, 58 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:26,620 I don't know about any of you guys, but from the looks of this kit lens hood, 59 00:04:26,620 --> 00:04:29,770 it wouldn't be generally that useful. 60 00:04:29,770 --> 00:04:36,010 And so I usually never put these on. It can, you know, if you put it on 61 00:04:36,010 --> 00:04:40,710 and you drop your lens, there's a lower chance it'll ruin the lens, 62 00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:43,950 'cause if it lands like this, it will not land directly on the glass. 63 00:04:43,950 --> 00:04:46,960 But that is generally the only benefit I see 64 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,620 that these leaf hoods, I've never had a great experience with them. 65 00:04:51,620 --> 00:04:56,010 This one might be different, I don't know. But in my experience, these are sort of throwaway. 66 00:04:58,130 --> 00:05:01,680 Also included in the box is a strap that 67 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:08,290 I guess actually this strap seems pretty nice and on the wide end, so you probably would use this. 68 00:05:08,290 --> 00:05:12,010 I, again, probably wouldn't, but to each their own. 69 00:05:12,010 --> 00:05:17,330 So, they have this new battery type with this camera, which is the BLK22. 70 00:05:17,330 --> 00:05:21,210 So it has this standard pin out for the S5, 71 00:05:21,210 --> 00:05:27,890 but it also has this pin out for the GH5. So, this battery is actually compatible with both cameras. 72 00:05:27,890 --> 00:05:30,920 Now, unfortunately, GH5 batteries are not compatible with this camera, 73 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,310 but it's a nice touch for anyone who is using 74 00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:38,050 a GH5 and might add an S5 to their repertoire, 75 00:05:38,050 --> 00:05:42,250 or is upgrading, that you could use this battery 76 00:05:42,250 --> 00:05:45,840 for your GH5, and so then you have an automatic B camera 77 00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:49,066 if you decide to keep your GH5 when upgrading to this as well. 78 00:05:49,066 --> 00:05:53,410 Little things like that, honestly, that I haven't seen many other camera companies do, so good on you, Panasonic, 79 00:05:53,410 --> 00:05:57,590 for thinking of that. In terms of layout, it's pretty standard. 80 00:05:57,590 --> 00:06:02,350 We have a dial right around the shutter button. 81 00:06:02,350 --> 00:06:06,000 We have white balance, ISO, exposure compensation. 82 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,620 There's a very nice red record button right here 83 00:06:09,620 --> 00:06:13,240 which is a nice touch. It's a very nice feeling button as well. 84 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:19,840 It's not an awkward placement like the original S or anything wise, so Panasonic has thought of that. 85 00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:23,980 And then the dials feel pretty good. There's no lock on the dials, 86 00:06:23,980 --> 00:06:29,660 which to me isn't really a big deal. I do like them on my X-T4 a lot, 87 00:06:29,660 --> 00:06:33,390 but I find that locks are more beneficial in stills than they are NVIDIA, 88 00:06:33,390 --> 00:06:39,370 and I feel like this camera leans a little bit on the video side, while the stills mode is pretty good. 89 00:06:39,370 --> 00:06:42,760 But honestly, these dials, the turn feels hefty enough 90 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,800 that I don't feel like you'd ever accidentally knock them. 91 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,020 And if you did, it's not probably a huge deal regardless. 92 00:06:50,020 --> 00:06:54,020 And the other cool thing is that they've added a slow and quick function to the dial. 93 00:06:54,020 --> 00:06:58,090 So, it makes slow motion much quicker to access. 94 00:06:58,090 --> 00:07:02,480 Now, this camera can do 60 FPS 4K. 95 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,810 Unfortunately, it's a sampling rate of 420 96 00:07:05,810 --> 00:07:09,300 instead of 422, but it is 10 bit, so that part is good. 97 00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:12,690 Unfortunately, when you're in the 60 FPS mode at 4K, 98 00:07:12,690 --> 00:07:16,730 there is an APSC crop on the slow motion. 99 00:07:16,730 --> 00:07:21,730 And you also get HD up to 180 FPS, but also with a crop. 100 00:07:21,940 --> 00:07:25,250 So, it is a four frame camera and you can do fairly high 101 00:07:25,250 --> 00:07:28,560 slow motion frame rates for a camera of this price point, 102 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,960 but unfortunately, it's not the entire sensor, there is a crop, which is not perfect, 103 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,970 but better to have them than not have them. 104 00:07:36,970 --> 00:07:42,110 And you know what's nice to have just like slow motion modes are? Our sponsor for today's video. PIA. 105 00:07:42,110 --> 00:07:46,190 PIA is the simple to use VPN which allows you to access services and websites 106 00:07:46,190 --> 00:07:49,530 as though you are in a different country. It encrypts all of your internet traffic 107 00:07:49,530 --> 00:07:54,040 and uses a safe protected IP. Connect up to five devices at once. 108 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,320 Clients for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and Linux. 109 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,650 And you can buy a one year plan for 39.95 and get two months free at the link 110 00:08:01,650 --> 00:08:05,440 in the video description. Okay, let's look at the rest of this camera. 111 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,310 So, one thing that the S5 has that my XT4 doesn't have, 112 00:08:09,310 --> 00:08:15,120 physically for all the things that I love about it, is the easy access to the single, continuous, 113 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:21,250 and manual focus dials on the lenses. So on my camera, it's at the front here on the left 114 00:08:21,250 --> 00:08:24,900 in the corner, which is not the easiest place to access it 115 00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:28,250 if you're not used to like which one is which, what you're on. 116 00:08:28,250 --> 00:08:34,610 And so having it here very clearly indicated by these dials is really nice. 117 00:08:34,610 --> 00:08:38,180 Yes, I love this dial, it's a great addition. Now, for the rest of the camera, 118 00:08:38,180 --> 00:08:41,250 the S5 has the awesome flip out screen 119 00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:45,530 with full articulation that I've loved on the last couple of cameras that I've done videos on. 120 00:08:45,530 --> 00:08:50,380 That's awesome. And then the button layout's pretty simple here. The AF-ON button's here, the joystick, 121 00:08:50,380 --> 00:08:54,980 which is actually shallow, but quite clicky and usable. 122 00:08:54,980 --> 00:08:58,680 I actually don't mind this at all. And then the actual dial for the menus 123 00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:03,530 and the quick settings buttons are all here. Standard fare for most cameras. 124 00:09:03,530 --> 00:09:06,830 For IO, we have a microphone jack 125 00:09:06,830 --> 00:09:12,070 and a headphone jack on this side. This flap is pretty big. 126 00:09:12,070 --> 00:09:16,210 And so I'm wondering if you'd ever have any like IO cable run issues depending on 127 00:09:16,210 --> 00:09:19,840 how you would rig this camera. I feel like certain cages while when you have a flap 128 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:25,350 this large can get in the way. And if you are a video user that didn't care as much about weather sealing, 129 00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:28,630 I would maybe consider cutting these off. 130 00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:31,760 I'm not actually recommending that you cut off the flaps for your camera, 131 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,120 'cause this one actually doesn't seem very bad like other cameras that I've used. 132 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,180 But this could be an annoyance 133 00:09:38,180 --> 00:09:43,070 in terms of IO clearance at some point. So, yeah, headphone, microphone jack. 134 00:09:43,070 --> 00:09:48,070 Oh, guys, they've included the dreaded micro HDMI. 135 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,450 Now, I understand on a camera this size 136 00:09:54,450 --> 00:09:59,970 that micro HDMI probably made more sense than full-sized HDMI, but when things like 137 00:09:59,970 --> 00:10:03,140 the Pocket 4K and the a7S III 138 00:10:03,140 --> 00:10:10,330 have come up with cameras that have full-size HDMI, it's unfortunate to see any camera, 139 00:10:10,330 --> 00:10:14,693 even though this camera's priced at cheaper than something like the a7S III, 140 00:10:15,540 --> 00:10:20,450 it hurts me to see any camera have micro HDMI, 'cause no camera should have micro HDMI. 141 00:10:20,450 --> 00:10:25,020 Especially when this camera is gonna get a firmware update that gives you 5.9K raw, 142 00:10:25,020 --> 00:10:29,560 which I'm sure many people are going to use, you're gonna end up using the micro HDMI. 143 00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:32,820 And in my experience, this port breaks, 144 00:10:32,820 --> 00:10:37,090 guaranteed, with heavy use in less than a couple of years. 145 00:10:37,090 --> 00:10:40,340 So, that's just something to keep in mind when you're rigging the camera. 146 00:10:40,340 --> 00:10:43,360 There are HDMI locks that you can get for cages 147 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:48,910 and stuff like that which help, but again, in my experience, have never truly solved the problem. 148 00:10:48,910 --> 00:10:52,260 But your mileage may vary. They also have a type-C port for high speed charging, 149 00:10:52,260 --> 00:10:57,110 so if you're the type of person who likes to bring around a big battery bank to rig on their camera, 150 00:10:57,110 --> 00:11:01,690 you can do that and not have to carry as many single batteries from Panasonic. 151 00:11:01,690 --> 00:11:06,640 And that would be also a cost effective way to keep your camera going all day on a long shoot 152 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,920 assuming you have it rigged the way that you like. On the right of the camera, we have the dual SD card slots. 153 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,133 Now, one of the SD card slots is UHS-1, 154 00:11:15,970 --> 00:11:21,980 and the other is UHS-2. It is unfortunate that they only included one of each slot, 155 00:11:21,980 --> 00:11:26,240 but I'm sure they have a good reason for that. So, my other thing about the L-Mount that I've actually 156 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,630 never experienced because I've never used the L-Mount is the port cap is locked 157 00:11:31,630 --> 00:11:36,160 when it's just on the body like this, which is not typical of most cameras. 158 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,510 Now, the other nice thing, though, is that the button for the the S5's lens mount 159 00:11:40,510 --> 00:11:44,580 is right here. So you don't have to turn the camera around 160 00:11:44,580 --> 00:11:48,910 or let go of this grip to like hold it in a different way 161 00:11:48,910 --> 00:11:52,900 to get the lens off, 'cause the button is here. 'Cause usually on Sony and Canon cameras, 162 00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:57,670 the lens release is on the left. But because it's here and convenient, 163 00:11:57,670 --> 00:12:01,130 you can have the grip still be in the shooting mode, 164 00:12:01,130 --> 00:12:04,910 take the port cap off, and then grab your lens and put it on. 165 00:12:04,910 --> 00:12:09,240 Which it's a little thing, but that's a very nice touch 166 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:14,883 for the convenience of lens changes, because that way it's much easier to do it really carefully, 167 00:12:16,130 --> 00:12:18,283 and you just have more confidence. 168 00:12:19,810 --> 00:12:25,320 That lens mount actually feels really good. Very tight fit, no wobble at all. 169 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,479 Is the touchscreen a touch screen? Yes. 170 00:12:29,479 --> 00:12:33,210 One of the things I wanted to test for right off the bat is if you could punch in while you're rolling. 171 00:12:33,210 --> 00:12:40,820 So I'm gonna roll the camera, it's recording. And, ooh, you cannot. 172 00:12:40,820 --> 00:12:44,610 Okay, that's a little unfortunate as a video-centric camera, 173 00:12:44,610 --> 00:12:50,750 even though it is a hybrid camera. So you can see we're rolling on the S5 right now, 174 00:12:50,750 --> 00:12:54,300 and you can in theory move around the box 175 00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:57,510 where your punch in for focus would be. 176 00:12:57,510 --> 00:13:02,080 But you can't actually double tap to punch in. 177 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:07,440 Which is unfortunate, because especially if you're doing like a long interview, that's the type of thing 178 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,180 that could very easily throw you off. Now, it does have peaking right off the bat 179 00:13:12,180 --> 00:13:17,600 as the default setting that's on. But my issue with peaking on small cameras like this 180 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,730 is that the display is so small that even the peaking can be very misleading, even on the lowest setting. 181 00:13:22,730 --> 00:13:26,030 Most peaking features on cameras this size 182 00:13:26,030 --> 00:13:29,200 are never that accurate. Like they'll give you the ballpark, 183 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,010 but it's very easy to be like slightly off. And if you're like wide open at 1.4 184 00:13:34,010 --> 00:13:39,560 or whatever lens you're using, it can be tricky to nail your focus on a screen this small. 185 00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:43,840 So, if you were an S1 user that wanted 186 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,110 the highest quality file internally 187 00:13:47,110 --> 00:13:52,620 and for color grading after the fact, you probably bought the $100 Vlog upgrade. 188 00:13:52,620 --> 00:13:55,680 Now, thankfully, Panasonic was gracious enough 189 00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:59,680 with the S5 to include Vlog by default. 190 00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:02,970 That gives you the full 14 stops of dynamic range 191 00:14:02,970 --> 00:14:06,760 that these cameras with Vlog are capable of, 192 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:13,590 which makes this camera very capable in terms of video features for the size and form factor. 193 00:14:13,590 --> 00:14:18,020 Another nice feature that they have built into the camera, and most mirrorless cameras these days have that, 194 00:14:18,020 --> 00:14:22,310 which is nice to say, the sensor has embodied stabilization 195 00:14:22,310 --> 00:14:27,510 up to five stops, which can then be used in conjunction with the optical image stabilization 196 00:14:27,510 --> 00:14:31,790 built into certain L-Mount lenses. And that's really great for vloggers 197 00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:37,250 or people who just want to be able to do quick walk and talks and you can only do it handheld, 198 00:14:37,250 --> 00:14:41,820 that actually, the extra stabilization for that and in stills would be very useful. 199 00:14:41,820 --> 00:14:47,660 Even though I'm primarily a video shooter, I do love photography, and it is something that I've been 200 00:14:47,660 --> 00:14:52,300 also doing a lot more of recently. And this camera actually has a feature 201 00:14:52,300 --> 00:14:55,560 that I wish more cameras would have in the stills mode. 202 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:03,300 And that is in the aspect ratio, you can select 65 by 24 or two to one. 203 00:15:03,970 --> 00:15:06,980 So, with the 65 by 24 and two to one aspect ratios, 204 00:15:06,980 --> 00:15:10,240 you just get a wider screen view 205 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:15,410 of whatever image you're shooting. And that's huge for stills because, yeah, sure, 206 00:15:15,410 --> 00:15:18,520 you can crop to this aspect ratio 207 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:23,320 or any other widescreen aspect ratio in post. But when you're using it 208 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:28,060 as a framing tool within the camera, it changes your perspective of what you're shooting. 209 00:15:28,060 --> 00:15:34,060 And the S5 is the only mirrorless camera that I know of in this body style and that is full frame 210 00:15:34,060 --> 00:15:37,160 that has this aspect ratio as a shooting option. 211 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,210 The only other camera that I know of that has this aspect ratio as a shooting option is Fujifilm's 212 00:15:41,210 --> 00:15:45,390 medium format line, the GFX 50R specifically. 213 00:15:45,390 --> 00:15:48,570 Honestly, this is a small, niche feature 214 00:15:48,570 --> 00:15:53,810 that I personally love. And I'm really glad that Panasonic put this in for stills. 215 00:15:53,810 --> 00:15:58,910 So, for anyone who uses this camera for stills, they will have a very fun option 216 00:15:58,910 --> 00:16:02,750 to make something look really like widescreen, panoramic, cinematic. 217 00:16:02,750 --> 00:16:06,110 So, while this is only an unboxing and first impressions video, 218 00:16:06,110 --> 00:16:10,660 we are going to include a couple of clips right now just to show you the general video performance 219 00:16:10,660 --> 00:16:13,940 that you might be able to expect in Vlog specifically, 220 00:16:13,940 --> 00:16:17,160 just so you get a sense of the widest dynamic range 221 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:22,940 that this camera can deliver for you. And here's an autofocus test as well. 222 00:16:22,940 --> 00:16:29,460 And honestly, I'm impressed by what Panasonic has done with the S5. 223 00:16:29,460 --> 00:16:33,330 Panasonic really has done a good job of taking the S1 224 00:16:33,330 --> 00:16:37,220 and the S1H specs and cramming it into a smaller, more affordable body. 225 00:16:37,220 --> 00:16:42,210 And while the specs of this camera are really good and the firmware update in December that promises 226 00:16:43,150 --> 00:16:47,240 5.9K raw and a couple more anamorphic modes, 227 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,790 the specs alone I'm not 100% sure 228 00:16:50,790 --> 00:16:53,920 will be enough to suade people away 229 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:59,550 from something like the EOS R, the X-T4, the a7 III 230 00:16:59,550 --> 00:17:02,870 just because especially the lens lineups on those cameras 231 00:17:02,870 --> 00:17:09,190 are much more fully formed. And while you could adapt to any of these cameras, 232 00:17:09,190 --> 00:17:14,810 performance will suffer, and you do want a good crop of native lenses to be able to use 233 00:17:14,810 --> 00:17:18,480 on something like this. So, if you're the type of person that 234 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:24,100 really cares about autofocus performance and all the benefits that you would have 235 00:17:24,100 --> 00:17:28,370 from native lenses, your selection isn't quite as wide, 236 00:17:28,370 --> 00:17:33,360 though Sigma's support of the L-Mount has been quite good. So, if you're a Sigma lens fan, 237 00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:39,250 you are quite well supported on this camera. So, we'll see longterm how Panasonic's S5 does 238 00:17:39,250 --> 00:17:45,150 against Canon, Sony, and Fuji. But honestly, this camera is competitive 239 00:17:45,150 --> 00:17:49,430 to all the other offerings. It is full frame. It has in-body image stabilization. 240 00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:53,410 It is a 10 bit camera. It has slow motion modes that are reasonable. 241 00:17:53,410 --> 00:17:57,980 It has some cool stills features. So, if you're a Panasonic user looking to upgrade, 242 00:17:57,980 --> 00:18:01,410 I think you'd be very happy with the S5. If you're somebody who's a beginner, 243 00:18:01,410 --> 00:18:06,410 the S5 is definitely a contender among the competition. 244 00:18:07,010 --> 00:18:11,470 And it honestly is just a really good time to be looking for a mirrorless camera, 245 00:18:11,470 --> 00:18:16,000 because basically all your options are good. No option that you choose 246 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,220 would be a bad camera by definition. 247 00:18:19,220 --> 00:18:22,300 And that's a good place to be. So, thank you, guys, for watching this video. 248 00:18:22,300 --> 00:18:27,390 If you wanna know more about the S5 or want a full review of any other Panasonic 249 00:18:27,390 --> 00:18:32,950 or any other camera, please leave me a comment down below and put your request in, because honestly, 250 00:18:32,950 --> 00:18:38,703 there are so many cameras and they're all good to some degree, it's hard to choose which ones to include or cover. 251 00:18:39,690 --> 00:18:43,360 But it is a good time to like cameras. 252 00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:44,560 Very good year for that.
