A few quick test shots/footage from the new Panasonic LUMIX S5 Mark 2. I didn't have time to produce anything more substantial this time, but I did manage to pick it up a couple of times over the holidays, so here's a quick one!
All footage shot on the LUMIX S5ii, in Vlog, 24p and 60p. Edited in FCPX and graded with film emulation (video to come on this soon).
Lenses wise, most of these shots were on the Canon FD 55mm f/1.2, because I'm all about the vintage look, with all of its character and imperfection. The reason I've always shot Panasonic Lumix, is because footage from their cameras always has character.
A few shots at the beginning, everything up to 0:36, were on the Panasonic 20-60mm. Despite not really being my bag in terms of general look (modern, very sharp and clinical), I decided to include a few shots as I know many shooters like the clean and sharp, contemporary look. It is a great lens if that's your thing.
I haven't had much hands on time with the camera yet, but here's my initial thoughts and feelings;
Everything that was great about the original S5, plus more.
Amazing image. Extremely versatile image quality, allowing you to dial in your look as desired.
Fantastic dynamic range.
Impressive low light performance.
Very good IBIS with the new 'active' system. I need to play with this more to get my head around how it performs in different settings.
Impressively small and light form factor for a body that has a full frame sensor crammed into it.
Clever incorporation of a cooling fan in the EVF housing. No worries about overheating then.
Auto Focus is not my thing as I prefer to focus manual lenses, however I did try it out. To my eyes, the new Phase Detect system performs extremely well. The shots at the beginning of the dancing and dogs were shot using human and animal tracking. It locked on and stayed with them. Despite not being a priority for me, I'm sure there will be lots of happy people out there.
The big one for me is the price. It's a lot of camera for the money. The most important thing for me being image quality, which at this price point, is seriously top notch. Perhaps even unrivalled. So fair play to Panasonic for making such a fantastic product accessible to more people.
I look forward to spending some more time with the camera and getting to know it better.
As always, any questions, feel free to smash them in the comments. Oh, and happy new year everyone! 🤙
