FAQ Answer: This is fundamentally the same camera as the S5 II. So yes, image, rolling shutter, crops, colors, autofocus, stabilization, etc. should all be the same. It's the same sensor and processor.
This video is just about what's different. Cheers! 🤓👍

I'll say this as a good thing. This video felt endless! How many options can a machine offer? that's honestly insane, as the title says, the versatility of this is crazy. thanks Gerald, keep up the good work.

[MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I can't believe I have to buy ANOTHER camera. Thanks Gerald!!

[chriskingcreative]

Love seeing how excited you are about all the features and the SSD handle. It makes me happy to see your joy!

[sonidojamon]

We were all waiting for Panasonic to fix Auto-Focus for AGES. But they finally did it! And it came with A LOT of other features! Well done, PanaBOY!

[lutzrenneke]

I am so incredibly excited about this camera. I preordered right when it got announced and nearly waited half a year for the first review. Thank you for the great work. Keep it up!

It's important to note that the current SSD limit for this camera is 2 TB. It's listed on the product page, but not a lot of reviews are mentioning this. So if you buy a pro blade /handle combo or just a regular ssd, don't go over 2 TB. After talking with both Kondor Blue and Panasonic they both used the term " current limit" ...so it's possible that this will be expanded upon in the future.

For the amount of work you put into each video and also the callouts from other creators you definitely should have way more followers IMO. None the less thank you for your service :) Legendary Review.

Panasonic has made such an amazing camera with the 5ii and 5iix. They have just moved the goal posts far! Currently waiting for the X . Thanks for the amazing video.

[sanjacobs]

Gerald is an absolute camera-review God. Thank you for your work.

The biggest letdown for me was the bad autofocus in 1080p in 60fps or higher on the S5II, but with the fix, I‘ll definitely get the s5iix

[geraltstelenheimcorneliust]

As an FX3 owner, this S5iix, with its Prores and raw options, SHUTTER ANGLE, waveforms, vectors scopes, open gate recording and multiple anamorphic desqueeze options is twice the cinema camera my Sony ‘cinema line’ FX3 is.

Sony need to step up their game with the software updates because at half the price of the FX3 this thing is seriously tempting.

This is why I love Panasonic.. they are not perfect but they are so amazing at the same time. That makes the other cameras feel boring . 😊

[brois]

Thanks for covering the webcam info! It's not a common use case, but I use my A7 III with a Sony 28mm F2 lens for video conferencing and it makes such a huge difference compared to regular webcams. The natural blur, crisp image, excellent face tracking, proper colors, etc. Seems overkill, but it makes a huge difference when I'm on important calls and everyone else is a pixelated blob.

[AllThingsFilm]

Well, I think you just dramatically narrowed down my choice for my next camera. The S5iix. If it gets the Undone Stamp of Approval, then I have to seriously consider it.

[SeitanicPanicc]

CVP wasn't able to get the BRAW working in time so it's nice to see it covered in detail here

[josiahkee]

Impeccable timing, literally started looking at this camera yesterday. Gerald, you're a legend!

[photojoseph]

Superb… the Video Assist into the Kondor Blue handle is genius!

[ledheavy]

The HDMI latency is pretty annoying. If using the Blackmagic recorder at least it has 2 xlr inputs on it though so recording without HDMI sound could not be such a big deal if recording externally and not just using a monitor.

It's really great to see the braw implementation has seemingly proper white balance and highlight recovery making this combo much more appealing to me than needing to go to a BM pocket series camera for good braw since I am a hybrid shooter and want a modern lens mount.

[tomdchi]

I VERY much appreciate the nerdy deep dive into the BRaw implementation and exposure range!
