Easily Lumix... but I am defiantly a fanboy. Sony's have overheated on me in the past and it really screwed me. Scared for life. That's the biggest advantage of the S52 over the A74. The Fan. The A74 WILL over heat on you at some point. You won't know when or where... it will just happen. The Lumix fan will save your A$$.

Thank you so much! 😃🎥 Great to have you as part of the channel.

Great video Sam. The S5II seems like a great option in the under $2K market. I've been shooting with the A7IV until battery runs out of juice and never got an overheating warning. I live in Miami FL. Although, setting the "bypass high temp warning menu option" is the first thing I do when I unbox any Sony camera for the first time.

I love the hype Panasonic is getting and glad to hear from all these videos that they’re a company who listens. Really excited for the s5iix i preordered mine and cannot wait to use it. Super helpful thank you for making this!

Awesome review. I agree on real world tests and unexpected lighting condition when testing color rendering. Also, the S5 Mark I not having a cooling fan is one of the reasons why it was a nonstarter for me. A camera with a fan can still have problems unrelated to overheating so adding the possibility of overheating into the mix for me is a “no go” situation. I’m glad to see that the Mark II has a cooling fan. 👍

Your S5II videos have been killer so far, the focus transition video was great too!

Enjoyed the video. Have owned Panasonic cameras in the past and if the S5ii came out a year or so ago I probably would have bought it. Having said that, I have owned the Sony A7IV since release and not once has it overheated on me. The time that your camera took to overheat doesn't sound right at all unless if maybe you never changed your heat setting limit to high. It's the first thing I changed when I got the camera and it's been great in that sense.

You're right. That's probably what happened. I have a Sony A7iv, set on high, and has not overheated, but I bought it in December 2022, and it hasn't had the Texas summer heat treatment. Plus, I'm sick of shooting only in 16x9. I want all those Panasonic assist features for video, features like waveforms, spot meter, shutter angle, V-log, vector scope, etc; features that don't even seem to be on Sony's radar all these years. Plus, the S5 is built so, so, so much better than the Sony.

@@avarmadillo Majority of issues you are mentioning are fixable by using an external monitor with all professional tools at your hand on the much better and bigger screen than the integrated one. Shutter angle is just an interpretation of time in the constant manner regardless of the aperture setting and doing it in your mind becomes a second nature once you get used to this workflow.

this was fascinating, and finally a comparison video that well, where you don't just sit on the fence! that's refreshing! yeah i've been shooting with my S5 for over a year now, still love it, i will be getting the S5IIx when that ships later this spring.

I switched from Panasonic (GH5's) to Sony a year ago (because I wanted decent autofocus and full frame) and I've had the A7iv for most of that time. Never had an overheating issue but I did set the camera to high temp mode straight away. I've made loads of videos I love with the A7iv, all handheld (except the interview bits). Don't regret the move but if the Lumix S5ii had been available when I made the switch I may have stayed with Panasonic. Too late now though. Too heavily into Sony with an A1 on the way. Another great video Sam. Thanks & keep em coming :-).

Thank you for your video Sam - I just came across it in a search. Been looking at the S52 for a while now.. mostly a stills shooter but looking to expand my videography. Right now it looks like the S52 is one of the only true hybrid's on the market today - and I'm sure firmware updates will make it even better!

Awesome video Sam! Love the Lumix cameras, got the S5 II as my second cam! I would like to say with the over heating, it's not that big of an issue anymore as long as you know what precautions to take. One being the thermal setting on High & Two keeping the back screen open. I've been using the A7 IV for all my weddings in 2023 and it's not over heated once. One wedding in July 2023 was in a conservatory and outside was already 40C. The camera was in front of the window under the sun, filmed in 4K 24fps for just over 30 minutes and no warnings or overheating.

Very informative video! I've been deciding between these two cameras for videography work. I currently use a Black magic 6k pro (BMPCC6KPro) and i cant deal with not having Auto-Focus anymore in the "Run and Gun" situations I've found myself in so often nowadays. the lumix being directed towards video on top of being a good chunk cheaper than my current camera is really making me consider it for trade in. plus i could work with the lumix on a gimbal with way less hassle.

Great review again! I just miss some stills comparasion. Since we're talking about hybrid cameras I assume it's also important spect of a camera. As a lumix user, I really miss the fast switch between videos and photos. I also dont like colors in terms of color grading science on Lumix system. I wish someone could just include a stills part into the comparasion. Maybe also some side by side color grading in lightroom ect.

Great video! love the channel. Couldn't find your 'colour grading log footage video.' Also I've been pretty lucky I haven't had any over heating issues with my a7iv. When I initially got it I put it on "high" maybe that helped.

great honest review will all the essentials people have to consider between those two.

My 2nd shooter on monopod using his A7iv … crying during ceremony and speeches, over heating and shutting down during mid ceremony.

Did you pull the back screen out while recording in Sony? I’ve never even seen a warning recording in 4K 60 fps.

I have the a7iv, filmed a wedding with it in the hot summer and it didn't overheat. It was uncomfortably hot but didn't stop. That being said, I'll buy an s5ii to pair with it. The Sony will be primary for stills, the Panny primary for video, because I'm constantly anxious about the heat. It will still be cheaper than an a7rv even with a nice lens (the a7siii doesn't have enough megapixels for my needs) and I much prefer the APSC crop instead of pixel binning in 60p which is still cropped lmao.

Great video. Thank you. I noticed when you were sliding the RODE box around the screen for the tracking, the rolling shutter was terrible. That was just a box. I really want to grab the Panasonic, but I shoot a lot of kids parties and quite often the kids are moving through the frame rather quickly. I think this was an oversight of your review and should be noted. Just my opinion.

The Fuji X-H2 does 2 hours with no problem, and the qualitiy is about 98% there. Almost Nobody talks about that! Just got the Lumix as well to have at least one fullframe cam. Great review!

My video team has used the IV for a lot of professional work and we have not had any issues. Just set the overheating setting to high and you are good to go.

Has anybody experience with the a7r5 video capabilities vs the new pana?

if you overheat on the sony a7IV just puto the tempo on HIGH, use it with the screen flipped, bought 3 months ago and it is an amazing camera
