#SonyFX30 #lumixs5ii

fx30 wins it, marginal difference for lumix in sharpness and low light. fx 30 looks better and wayyy better usage in real life. + you would have to buy lumix full frame glass that is way more expensive and good luck selling that 2nd hand

run & gun camera, lumix S5 ii in every situation, best IS no need to carry gimble, evf for sunny day, 20-60mm best kit lens in terms of focal length, 6k video means future proof upto next 7 years, if somebody already use sony then fx30 will be the best choice but for newcomers like me no doubt Lumix S5 ii, value for money

[adamnotmichels]

Thank you for this review! I am definately leaning toward the s5ii or s5iix.

[kevinforget]

Good review however you missed a few limitations of the fx30 which is why I returned the camera for the s5ii. First is the lack of shutter angle and the fact that the shutter speed setting is shared for photo and video which makes it an absolute pain to switch framerates or from photo to video on the fly. Second is the lack of focus throw control and change from exponential to linear focus on the fx30, if you happen to get a lens with no linear focus then you are stuck with it and it makes it very difficult to nail manual focus. Third has to do with video playback for reviewing shots, the s5ii now has canons touchscreen video playback style where you can drag your finger along a timeline to get to the right point in a long video, for the fx30 you have to mash the fast forward button like a vcr and it takes longer to get to your clip as you usually end up skipping over it. Another issue is the raw output which is cropped to micro 4/3 on the fx30 while it's full frame on the s5ii.

What a great camera video to watch on Christmas Eve! Couldn't be better! Luv your sense of humor & imaginative artistic video reviews. Have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! 😎😎

[marcm.official]

hey man, i really like your reviews, they are calming and informative!!! thank you for this wonderful information!!! subscribeddd

[Gani]

Just found your channel, what a great video, and your story telling in amazing 🤩 subbed 👍

[davidmultimedia]

Very fun video!😅
The S5II also has 2 REC buttons if you count the shutter button that also work as a REC button. Plus, i’m pretty sure you can assign a function button to REC as well if you need it.

[CorentinHarbelot]

S5II all the way. Not perfect, but no hesitation here.

[BLOUmkv]

Hey ! Great Vid !
But between the two camera, what’s the best for short film, filmaking with a little crew? I’ve got a A7Rii now and i want to upgrade to a more professional video camera…. I’ve got some many hesitation and i can’t arrive to take a decision (with my budget to, because if i move to an other cam like Lumix, i’ve to payed the new lens) If you can help me on that question ! Thanks ;)

Also there is Sigma fp and Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6k for 12-bit raw.

[darkochristopher]

The limix s5 has dual native iso in Vlog 640 & 4000, and you shot at the widest end of the first native iso 3200 which made the lumix s5 way more noisy.

[robertaltman]

I am loving my FX 30 (and no problem with lower light/higher ISO ....) - but - as your analysis correctly points out- both of these cameras are great. In fact every camera on the market currently can produce images/videos that even a few years ago would have been the envy of the highest end cinema cameras. The FX 30 specs are very close to the (original) Arri Mini Alexa - tons of movies and shows were and are still being shot on that camera (The Last of Us for example). Lighting/lenses/framing/post production is what sets images apart now- not the quality of a camera sensor.

[CLIFFLIX]

Take the FX30 in 4k and S5-II in 6k then crop in 50% on both in a 4k timeline, ...BOOM!...you will see the S5-II 6k advantage immediately.

7:00 you may have your own picture profiles on Lumix S series if the preinstalled not good also you may tweak them as you like

[hruaitearalte]

second auto focus test, the dynamic range in s5ii was phenomenal.

[Imdangriffiths]

There’s no way the Sony fx30 is a better video camera.. the lumix shoots 6k internal . Apart from that it matches the fx30 on everything and does most things better for video shooters.. the scopes and things like shutter angle are cine camera features.Vlog is way better for colour grading imo.
Full frame does make a difference that’s why the fx3 is double the price of the fx30.
I think the original s5 is better than the fx30 . Put a manual cine lens on both and the original s5 would be the better video camera over the fx30. Just my opinion though. Great video 👍

[seanmartinflix]

Great video and I subscribed because the editing is great and I love the humor. Hey so I know there's a massive price difference between the FX3 And Lumix S5 mark 2 However they do seem comparable and it doesn't see anybody's comparing them because of that price difference. Main features that make me want to go lumix. "Even though I've been a Sony shooter for many years now". Is that open gate and black magic raw external recorded. Anyway, if you have the resources, time and want to compare the FX3 and Lumix S5 mark 2... Well I would certainly watch that video. Regardless probably be watching your videos from here on out anyway... I don't know.... Great stuff dude.

[asiadmajeed]

Awesome opening:) very unique. Great video

[maruwaanmoses]

Both cameras are incredible for the price. I'm just suprised at how close they are in performance! 😮
