Proud lumix s5ii owner here:
The difference between shooting something for a movie and shooting something else is that movies have more than just the camera involved.
Art direction, lighting, actors, plot, etc.
that all being said, for solo creators/filmmakers the s5ii/x is a dream come true.

[joserangelve]

I knew because of the camera A was more stable....but the quality seems the same, at least here in YouTube. Thanks for doing this. I´m receiving my S5IIx this week and I´m so excited!

[purplemonkeyelephant]

Wow, I thought A was the sharper image, better colour science, better highlights. I assumed it was the Arri. That's wild

[TheRealRichardWong]

Very cool comparison! I can tell camera B is slightly better like dynamic range.. but the difference is just so small. If it's not side by side, i wont be able to tell the difference at all!

[HenryOrtlip]

My favorite video of yours so far. The high end cameras truly are just sports cars at this point. Gareth Edwards filming the creator on the fx3 is another major example of how lenses are now king to all the sensors we have access too. He filmed with the kowa 75mm and used the prototype atlas mercury 42 sprinkled as well.

[timhamlinofficial]

I knew A would be the lumix, the IBIS warp is very apparent when you're moving, at first I thought it was opposite but after 2-3 shots in I could tell. I'd say if lumix just dialed in their settings for anamorphic, they'd have something wayyyy killer.

[JoshChristiane]

While B overall is the better image (on most shots) due to increased dynamic range and highlights that bloom less, the difference is honestly negligible. You could very much so film a $200, 000, 000 budget movie on either camera and get a great look. The biggest differences are much more so going to come down to set quality, location, lighting, sound, technical talent, acting, etc. We are lucky as filmmakers to be in an era where finally good cameras are accessible at a great price.

[lasha]

That is insane...
40, 000$ difference... for almost identical look. WOW, Panasonic

[simonfoden]

"But to make the tests fair we put the Lumix into crop sensor". So a maxxed out Arri vs. a crippled Lumix !!

[PrimeAtl]

One word wow! I can’t believe that the s5ii is that much similar to the Arri! Great vid bro

[the_black_douglas]

What a great demo! It’s a treat to have a high end pro like you doing these kind of vids!! I have the S5iiX and Sirui anamorphic things. The images you can get…

[AlreadyTiredOfYou]

The very slight muted colors and slight dynamic range were hinting... but it was the sudden wobble (sensor readout) the thing that sold it.

Still, really close.

[HussainAl--Khalil]

Wow i thought cam A was the alexa. I have the s5ii and am saving up to invest in anamorphic lenses soon. Very encouraging video. I've had the s5ii for about a month and a half and have been loving it so far.

[alby]

I have two S5 ii's and its an easy spot, the greens on the lumix have a really natural blue tinge to them. Really good on the skin tones though

[WilliamTurnerViolins]

What is interesting is that with "Emotive Color" LUTs for the S5II/IIX, you can ensure your color graded footage can be interleaved with ARRI Alexa footage, so the S5 series can be used as B cameras along with the ARRI for those wanting multiple camera shots without having to redo the scene for a single ARRI Alexa. Now I don't have the newer S5II/IIX, but continue to use my S5 OG. Like the ARRI, I use MF Cine and Anamorphic lenses and use 5.9K RAW via HDMI to my Atomos Ninja V and Atomos Connect, which provides me Camera-to-Cloud features beyond Lumix's latest firmware upgrade.

[nicholasboule]

The organic nature of the motion and highlight roll off of B cam is so magical. And not being eye bleeding sharp makes it the better image for storytelling.

[TheKiakiraly]

After year in the business, I can confidently say: the camera matters the least, your story, your framing, lighting, using movement in your shots is more important. I recently got a prize for best DOP work at a festival for a film which I shot on a 8-9 year old camera.

[garypranzo]

I could tell due to the warping in camera A. I wonder if the new Open Gate 6K with the HIGH IBIS crop on Super 35 lenses trick will eliminate the warping. It did for me on non-anamorphic lenses.

[AndrewJosephKeith]

Yeah I guessed wrong. Pretty incredible what Lumix is doing. I have the original S5 and I love it.

[jaybuckets]

I believe lumix are the best when it comes to mirrorless cinema cameras . Been saying that since the S1H . I honestly thought the arri was camera A . I just ordered this camera and waiting on the S1H2 .
