    Nice video mate, loving the production quality in such early stages of your channel! I was surprised to see you were a smaller channel. You'll go far! I've got the s5 and I absolutely love it. I always wanted a Sony A7s4 or something but right now I'm very happy with the s5.

    Well Yes, for the right price. Maybe more for photography. But since the s5II/X are pretty cheap (for Full-frame) i would go for the updated camera.

    I wouldn’t disagree actually. Especially when compared to what a comparable A7IV goes for the S5ii/x is a steal. Although I could still see a case for the S5 if you did more narrative-focused work or needed a b-cam for the S5ii/x.

    Yes if you have very tight budget I would advice to anyone to go s5 ( used ) but otherwise Old AF Panasonic is so chaotic. As long time gh5/s5 shooter. I mastered their chaotic AF even with my skills about it I manage to miss some shots because I was on gimbal etc and sometimes even in good lighting condition, you have no idea why the af just goes retard** mode. I have MF lenses/fd lenses , but When im on gimbal I have to rely on a good AF. I even bought the 85 1.8 lumix instead of 85 1.4 sigma because it was said that lumix 85 1.8 had a better af . All being said I saved to pick the s5II but even if the new AF is finally usable and great , the fact that it still 4k60 crop. made me wait a bit. on maybe a s1h II. Even if , If I saw a S9 used at a good price , I might jump into.

    Good AF is definitely very useful for gimbal work. I would probably reconsider going with the S5 if I used gimbals more often. Also, the S35 crop in 4K 60 can definitely be a deal breaker for some. Thanks for your comment!
