We are Switching from Sony to Panasonic

We have made a change that we never thought we would. We are going with Panasonic mirrorless cameras. This is a big change but we are excited to see how these cameras fit within our workflow.

Who Are We?!?
We run a San Diego-based video production company called Larimore Production Co. We started our first photography company in 2010 and then our video production company in 2014. Being able to create for a living isn't always easy, but it has been a blessing. We hope to help people like you grow your skills to make better videos and expand your businesses.

I just ordered a Panasonic S5II as well. My first full frame as well! It's crazy how much money you save and still get quality tech

[Chrisac]

The Lumix S5IIX is great, they are going to be mentioned more in the next couple of years that’s for sure

[jonsil]

Wow I've looked at the bundles on B&H and this time Panasonic isn't playing, they've really come for the market and are intent on catching up with (or trying to kill) Sony. The lenses are being heavily subsidised to get people on board. It's a great camera as well, so it's a winning strategy.

[Sneaky-Sneaky]

The Lumix S1H II looks to be a barn burner for a higher level cinema camera at a great price !

[AllThingsFilm]

My mirrorless experience started out on the Panasonic GH5. A camera versatile enough that I was able to shoot a feature film with it. I eventually switched to the BMPCC4K. And to this day, I still love working with BRAW. But, as a low budget/indie filmmaker, I really needed reliable autofocus to improve production and post. I eventually moved to Sony. Going from the a6400 to the a6500, then the A7iv and now the FX30. But, like you said, it's good to be able to move around to different brands to open up your choices.

I am now looking at the Panasonic S5iix. I still want to hold onto the FX30 because it really is a fantastic camera for its features and price. Having had experience with Panasonic, I have always loved the skin tones that their cameras provide. And as a filmmaker, the waveform, vectorscope and shutter angle in the S5iix are important features to work with. That being said, there are still some Sony cameras yet to be released in 2023 that I want to look at before doing anything. At this time, the FX30 meets most of my needs. So, I am in no rush to run out and get more cameras. This year has been a crazy year for new camera releases. In fact, quite overwhelming. All the better to step back and assess my desires and needs before taking on more gear.

Great camera choice. I have the original S5. Love the colors and ergonomics of the camera. Enjoy!

[sirwillemgaming]

A friend of mine use GH4 and I am blown away by how good the camera is. Color grading is really good even if the AF isn't as good as Sony but it still does the job. :D

[joylandimmanuel]

Newborn But IT'S A CRAZY SLAYER in CINEMATIC🙏🏽

And Now Im Waiting for UPCOMING SONY APS-C this July to Match this PANASONIC Beast😁

[PERIKLISTSINTZAS]

Best choise! I have s5 and i am thinking of buying s5iix .Lumix has something in the picture quality that makes this camera the most versatile precious tool for any kind of work.Weddings, spots, shortfilms etc.The color science, stabilization, iso,battery, great dynamic range, plus improved autofocus and the cinema quality picture at this price of range is unbeatable

[Abdi_Mohamed_]

Even though the autofocus might not be on the same level and Sony and Canon I genuinely believe they are just a couple of firmware updates away from being among the best out there! Good buy

[artistjoh]

I too moved to Lumix from Canon, but to MFT and now have the G9, GH5 M2, and GH5S, and lenses. I do have Sony for full frame, but I never enjoy the Sony's and use MFT 90% of the time. I sold my Canon 1Dx and Canon glass and don't miss them at all.

[tangentmediaafrica]

That's a very sober and objective video. Sometimes, good things don't have to cost more than their competitors.

[IanSnape]

I've also recently switched my A7iv over to Lumix but just the S5ii for me. The camera is awesome so many great features and the AF to me is solid! Im not someone who soley relies on AF but when its required i can say without a doubt its more than reliable in comparison to Sony.
The colours are alot better also i have to agree, beautiful image straight from the Panasonic Conversion LUT, something i cannot say for Sony.
Alot of my commercial work is shot on Fx6 + FX3 cameras which are staying for now but i do think Lumix is right up there knocking on the door!

[gogunow]

Hey, great review, great choice and great videos! You definitely deserve more subs. Keep up the good work!

[sajjadsalar]

If they fix the AF in 120 fps modes, then it would be truly game changing cause atm for weddings video work, its not practical otherwise brilliant choice and camera.

[doolittlegeorge]

Have been looking at a OneWheel XR for actual shooting but for me anyways the only fun in using any 35mm formatted equivalent system is trying out new and old for going about the same idea namely just trying to capture a moment...save that, share that...become part of a community, create a community.

[daniellove]

I'm really curious about the Moir issue. No OLPF is the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on this camera.

[mirrormestudio]

That sounds good. We just reviewed S5ii a month ago in our channel. That's a great camera as you said. Subscribed!

[monstablocka]

i bought them. interestingly what impressed me the most was the stabilisatoon

[Giovanni-Giorgio]

Waiting for my S5II to arrive. I will use it as a b-cam first next to my a7iv due to the set of sony lenses i already have for it. I have a feeling it might become the a-cam soon.
