FYI the Boost IS mode on Panasonics is meant to stabilize a locked, non-moving shot. Meaning you're just trying to hold the shot perfectly still, as if it was on a locked-off tripod. Using it on walking/moving shots will give intermittent jerks and jumps.

@@PhillipRPeck But what you said was by definition wrong. Establization is totally seperate from boost stablization. And both exist seperately. I dont think you turned on boost, as it's actually very noticable, and really impactful for long lenses on stable shots. But it creates jerks on walks (which I didnt see in your sample).

i actuallly havent found this to be the case. I've left it on for long shoots where i'm mainly on gimbal and as long as you're moving as slowly and smoothly and slowly as you really should be to operate the gimbal well without having to stabilize in post, the Boost IS does a fine job of "catching up" and makes things quite a bit smoother in general. I only notice it if i'm moving faster than i really should be for moving shots anyway. Handheld, yes, it really shouldnt be used for this. But if you're running tripod and gimbal all day, i've found it's shockingly safe to leave on.

In fact, you can definitely use the IS Boost function while moving (not walking, but you can still move the camera like moderate panning). Yes, it will be a bit jerky when you start moving because you’re"unlocking" the frame, but then it will look similar to a fluid head that has been tighten a bit… will still look very stable. But the results are a bit hard to predict as for movements go.. but definitely can be used in some scenarios. Don’t try to walk with IS Boost though!

as a long time panasonic user. I've been jealous of sony or canon AF for a long time (specially having a old 6D Mk2 as photo camera) . But i have to say for broll and stabilisation panasonic is the very best , and best for m4/3 . I have GH5 & S5. And only what was missing on s5 was a good AF . now with the s5 II it's here , it's way cheaper than sony A7IV. And there is a good choice of lenses (3 years ago i would say Sony > L mount ) but now it's EVEN ! ANd even FD CANON lenses on Panasonic is way better than on Sony imo . (specially with the ibis) . There is a lot of option in L Mount now , some very pricy lenses are a better in Sony (but yeah it's a big budget so it's not really the target . But for a normal quality pro consumer lenses line upt it's even now . FOr the price you have a very good video camera with a good AF now so you can pick a good lenses S5 II + 1 Good lens vs Sony A7IV body. And I've never understand Low Light test it's like so useless. Only dual iso is relevant , if you plan to use more than 6000 ISO (it's just a matter of having 1 led and it's enough ) .

I have both and, like you, prefer to use the S5ii for video. I prefer A7IV for photos hands down though. Maybe because I’ve used Panasonic since GH1, but I’ve also used Sony since 5N. The feature set and workflow on Panasonic just works for me for video. I can work around the S5ii AF being slightly slower.

I appreciate your approach to this video. Meaning that it didn’t make me feel bad for owning my A7IV. I love it and I haven’t really had much of an issue with the stabilization but that’s probably because I mostly shoot wide with it, and I’m not moving around much unless I have a specific shot where I need to. I do shoot with a cage and a top handle though so that probably helps.

I have both cameras, the S5II has really better IBIS, it has 6K open gate and almost as good AF in video. But the detail rendering is bad with most profiles in low light, too much sharpening and chroma noise reduction, the A7IV is way better, even my S5 (the first) is better. This is very disappointing. In V-Log the rendering is better but noisy for low light shooting.

I still don't understand why Sony, Canon Nikon don't have open gate options. It's not even some kind of crazy ask.

Heck my iPhone has open gate video recording using third party app which gives over a 4k video image that is very good.

Back in 2020 people discovered Canon's overheating protection had nothing to do with the camera's internal temp and it was just firmware limitation which Canon finally removed after a few years(ironically well after the R5C was released). Let me put it this way....R5 can also do 8k 60fps at least in limited time but they have it restricted to firmware. No reason why it can't....same processor as R5C....just the fan its missing so it wouldnt be able to do it as long.

I didn't shoot any photos with the S5II in the little time I had it, so I don't have any insight there. I did own the a7IV for about a year and a half and used it to shoot a lot of photos and video. I'm kind of in the Sony ecosystem myself because of lenses mostly. Panasonic doesn't have an aps-c lineup of cameras, so if you want to pair the full frame with a crop sensor camera, you'll have to opt for their micro 4/3 cameras. The downside of that is that the lenses aren't compatible, whereas, the Sony e-mount works on both the full frame and aps-c bodies. I lean Sony just because of the options in terms of bodies and lenses (and autofocus), but the S5II and S5IIX are really amazing so you obviously couldn't go wrong that way.

I came from the gh5 switch all my cameras to Sony because of low light and autofocus... the lesson that you need to learn as business owner when you do anything like this research. Is redundancy and workflow.. each year a camera brand comes out with new model that's either better or worse... I switched because of A1 and A7s3... these cameras are the upgrade that the switch allows me... S5II and gh6 etc have different lens mounts etc. so... If i stay with sony all lenses work with each other with the cost of features but low light and autofocus is better and I have higher redundancy than someone with 2 different camera brands! I highlight recommend sticking with 1 brand no matter if better or worse to safe money! and most of all time and errors you can not train 2 people to help you shoot with you gear when they have to learn 2 camera menus..( you get the point) all this only matters for people who do video as business never thought about it myself after switch from canon to sony to panasonic back to sony lol
