When choosing a camera ecosystem to shoot with, I don’t think enough people look at how a camera company supports their camera. LUMIX has been so consistent with releasing meaningful firmware updates that breathe new life into the S series. Exceptional value cameras man.

This is amazing! Lumix are listening to their customers and adding everything we wanted from the S9 on the S5II 👏🏻👏🏻

[joserangelve]

What amazing company. I´m really happy with this new update for my S5IIX...I feel this is the smartest purchase I´ve ever made!

[nocturnal]

Brilliant, as an S5ii owner I was waiting on the hybrid zoom feature. The 70-300 will be even better again 😊

Thanks for the update on the new firmware. Thanks Lumix for updating my G9II.

[AllenReinecke]

👍👍 Love how Panasonic Lumix updates cameras via firmware and doesn't expect you to buy the next gen. camera!

[johndrew]

Thanks Richard for going over these features. Only last night I was shooting a concert with my s5ii and was switching between Full/APSC/Pixel Pixel to extend my lens range. Hybrid Zoom is a game changer for me. It also catches up with Sony's Clearimage Zoom which is one of the few things I miss with using Sony. Thankyou Panasonic. Keep up the good work!!!

Thank you Richard! Great review! I am so happy about this update, and Panasonic 24-105mm f4 lens update too.

[plusss]

thanks sean, matt and richard! also to everyone in the lumix team working on these updates!

[dklatravel]

Great video Richard! Always my favorite Lumix Reviewer on YT. Very comprehensive and helpufl.

After shooting with Canon and Sony for years, being with Lumix is a breath of fresh air. These other companies typically don’t listen to their user base or take way too long releasing firmware updates. I’m excited about the hybrid zoom feature, the updated AF and the MP4 lite option! 🎉🎉

[leocasati]

panasonic, just showing to the entire industry how to treat a costumer.
Please Sony, take some notes haha

[mistamixx]

I would like Lumix to continue improving the stabilization and auto focus.

[ttbirds]

Do you know if the firmware fixes the reported G9ii audio bug where the 3.5mm mic in channel suppressed some key frequencies?

[Nocturnal_Mind]

Great news and as always a great video!!

[mynameisslimshady]

Absolutely love it, as the previous one!

[rendermanpro]

Dude, partial coverage. People are still using S1 and S1R and there are firmwares to them (surprisingly and nice). As well firmware to lenses. Would be nice to mention about it....
Thanks for the news and keep us updated!

[Spencer_White]

Superb! So pleased how Panasonic are doing this 🤓👍

[jampaPT]

Thank you for the great detail given on every point.
