The Panasonic Lumix S5IIx is here. What is it? How is it different from the Lumix S5 Mark II? Which one is the camera you should get?
In this review I'll show you the new features and share with you some of my hands-on experience as well.

I just feel that what progress panasonic lumix 2x has prepared for us, it's just a joy in the life of a videographer with an affordable budget, thanks to the panasonic engineers

Now this is what I call a deep dive/detail breakdown of the camera. And I love how you give great comparisons between different camera companies. It lets new photographers like myself know what you're referring to. Thank you kind sir!

As always, great in depth review. There are a lot of camera reviewers but, few can match your detail.

[mohamedal]

I watched many reviews about Lumix S5iiX and by far this is the best and comprehensive video.

[Lazer_Media]

[AfFlix]

[LeoPazzo]

Great video Richard. Thank you very much for sharing this review video with all the info and details. I definitely have my eye on the s5iix. I wish this camera had 4k 120p .

[sanders]

Great video and thank you so much for posting the link to the compatibility charts on Panasonic's website! For some reason it is very difficult to find SSD compatibility by searching Google or by navigating the Panasonic website. Appreciate the detailed, thorough content!

This is the best break down between the S5ii and S5iiX I’ve seem, Thanks

[dougzauha]

Fantastic review. Very thorough and informative. I just ordered this camera, and now after watching your review, I feel more comfortable with the purchase. I have the S5, so will now go watch your S5II vid. Again, great job and am going to sub after finishing this comment.

[HeathcliffBlair]

Excellent review. Very useful. Thanks.

[thebentzenable]

Subscribed 👌 Will watch it again when I have saved up for the camera. I sold my A7iii so i am getting there 😊 fantastic video 👍👌💪

[harryck]

So a great thanks for this comparison! I'm hesitant between S5 and S5II. The second model with kit lense is just twice more expensive and I had some hesitations. Now I will know that original one has the edge in quality. In addition, I know that some functions like 6k photos disappeared on S5II.

I seem to not be ready to buy the S5II. And apart from all vices I'd like to have more resolution for photos. At least 33mpx. I do often landscapes. You did a good job opening the eyes on more expensive cameras to have problems too.

You seem to be slavic, I spot your accent. Kudos from Ukraine!

[DroseMr]

Nice vid. Waiting Raw pr 5.7 60 for my atomos sync record control.Thank You

[ramonarias]

Live composite and HiRes mode should be included in all the 24mpx cameras.... hope Z6III has it when it comes out!!
very nice vid!

[HilleCine]

This with the handle is a winner, had I been buying today it would be top of the list along with the newer Nikon cameras, happy with the R3 but puny HDMI port and not having even the same HDMI ouputs really bugs me. Oh and their locked lens mount (I know there was one recently but not good enough) means they peeved me off so much I will for the first time, be buying only second hand RF lenses, it's the thought that counts Canon.

Edit: very very nice review mate.
