Need to clarify something at 7:28. I think I'm crazy or something because I've covered loop recording on a video before, but loop recording will continuously record on 1 card until you stop recording. Even if the card fills up it will overwrite what you have recorded. This is useful if you are recording something that is unpredictable like wildlife and don't want to miss the shot. No idea why I changed my mind.

IBIS- S1H is 6.5 stops; S5 is 5.5 stops. I have and use both. The diff is negligible. I do handheld with both. Love the S5

[danieldacostalai]

The s5 works. We need to understand that its meant to be a hybrid competitor to the a7iii, and eos R. S1H and S5 serves a different target audience. That said, it's gonna be able to get the job done. Only depends on what you need for the job

[ToddWhiteStudios]

I have both cameras and loved them both. They have different uses for sure. For me one of the deciding factors that people should pay attention to is the limited vs unlimited recording in 4K. S1H unlimited; S5 is 30 min. In 1080, S5 is unlimited.

Made me feel better about my S1H purchase haha love this channel dude!

[callumgillies]

This might be the best lighting I have seen on a tech video.

Sirui's recent announcement of Full Frame Anamorphic lens lead me here. I think if sirui expands their full frame lenses like their current MFT versions, S1H will be a better choice in future than GH5 II for anamorphic productions on low budget.

Panasonic S1 seems to be the sweet spot between the Panasonic S5 and Panasonic S1H especially a second hand Panasonic S1 with all the updates

At keynote speeches, I have 2 x S5’s, a Gh5, a gopro and a Zoom f6 audio recoder. I can wirelessly timecode sync all of that with the Atom SYNC modules attached to ATOMOS NINJA V’s, plus a Timecode Systems Syncbac on the GoPro and the Bluetooth receiver accessory on the F6. You assign one NINJA V as the master T/C generator and everything else slaves off it via Bluetooth. You use a menu on the master T/c NINJA V to find and pair all the devices. It’s fast and seamless to set up and super useful. No S1H sync port needed. Did I mention I’m on team S5?

[ToddWhiteStudios]

The low pass filter point. Because the S5 is a true hybrid camera, having no low pass filter is wonderful for photos and their sharpness. The S1H being more videos/cinema focused does need one per your example of moire. And even though we can take great photos, that’s not his primary focus. Being a videographer and photographer, it’s nice not to have the low pass filter on the S5. TheS 1 does not have one either.

[EugeneMaynard]

One of the best feature comparisons between the two that I have seen so far!👏🏾🙏🏾

[paulbvid]

Yes! Low pass filter test plz. Nobody has made one. I don’t have a S1H, but compared to Eva 1, I do notice trees and plants being too “crispy” on s5. Haven’t see any significant moire yet on s5. Like the crazy ones we used to see on 5D mk2 back in the days

[peterstudiollc]

Shooting file can separate make S1H will be the most safe camera, and internal 6K shooting both are good point make me choose S1H over than S5.

[NeilFarrimond]

Team S1H all the way! Love this camera so much.

[joaomarcellomacedoleme]

Many thanks, I have been using Canon for the past 7 years, considering very much moving into Sony gear, but now I am very impressed with Lumix come back... color and stabilization looks amazing, still worried about the auto focus though... I hope they improve it with firmware upgrades! Said that, I would love to get an S5, at the moment it seems to be the best cost/benefit ratio of the market. Congrats on the video, it was very helpful!

[fishingreelpictures]

Great comparison video, Just bought the S1H out of the new great options, really happy with the decision

[magnusgotander]

You can se moost of your settings by tapping the buttons on the side of the screen.

[STONJAUS_FILMS]

so picture quality or sensor wise is the same thing?

[JonackFilm]

For me it's the 60fps in 10 bit in the S1h. And the full size hdmi and unlimited recording

[jorre]

Great job on this video Dustin. Keep up the good content. Be sure to make an update if the auto-focus is improved again in the firmware updates.
