Now, that tip is here for eternity. Thank you. Wish me happy hunting. 🙂

Hey Geoff, why did he sell it. For a S5 which has 4K60p in 10bit? 🙂 Now I bite in the sweet sour apple and bought the darn VLog Update. It feels awesome, having the full power of Vlog curve and gamut and the sensor and the fantastic processing of the S1 at my hands now. Processing already show its powers in the 8bit modes. No mushyness in low to no light! No with the famous 10bit long gop and Vlog I feel like having a mini Varicam in my hands! I am very pleased to see that VLog is even there in EXtele and HD modes. I am super happy that I bought the update. Now Panny, as a little gift to us S1 owners with the VLog update, give ALL S1 owners the 10bit 4K60p of the S5. 🙂 @Andrew ReidAndrew, with your connections to Panasonic, would you be allowed to say anything about a possible 10bit 4K50/60p update for the S1? @HockeyFan12 Darn, what luscious green. Such luxerous rich colour! Beautiful shots, esp. the first one knocks me off my socks. Would love some footage of a person in that setting.

Awesome, sounds like you want to top your GH5 and GH5s pieces! Cannot wait to see both of your videos, until winter of course:) @Neumann Films

Well, I saw a lot of footage of the S1H and the R5 side by side and the S1H colors were much, much better. The R6 skintones were really green, its limited dynamic range screwed up its colour rendition in underexposed midtone areas. It is hard to believe that the tester didnt do a bit of colour correction. He gave us another filler video which has no significant technical test behind its slick presentation. Which camera, R6 or R5? 🙂 Anyway, joke and implicite wisdome aside, R5 gets smoked in underexposed areas color and resolution wise. S1H is two stops ahead. Even S5, which you can get for 1900 USD. And indeed in the test video above, the Canons look green and toxic from 9.30 on. So, there must be some weirdness to the test set up, as to the test set up, which you are referring to in your sentence.

@zerocool22 Thank you for the entertaining video. Just, the content of this video is, well, let´s say there is some. Presentation is pro and pleasing of course. First the Canons look better, then from 9.30 on 12K looks much better color wise. All three cameras look good. I am waiting for Luke Neumanns material. If it turns out half as impressive as his GH5s video than we know he has a cabinet full of Zeiss anamorphics. 🙂 Luke, you better deliver some Zeiss opulence. @Neumann Films S1H has a 6K mode, even open gate. It is much cheaper than these other cameras and betters the R5 by a margin when it comes to exposure latitude.

Good question. I think the reason is licensing. In the long run AI enhanced DFD could just do the trick better than other tech. Question is, will S1 get free 10bit as the G9 and the S5 already has from the start? What about the 10bit 4k60? You know it for sure, guys. 🙂 @Andrew Reid@Dave Maze

Ah, I will enjoy this later on. Something to look forward to. Awesome! Thanks!

@TomTheDP Please Panny, give it a free Vlog update, since the S5 has it already implemented. Also, like the S5, give us the 4k60 10bit, please. Thank you, Panasonic!:) I would love to have a 25p option for 4k and 6K photo modes!

Hey Dave, would love to know, if Andrew has any insight about a free 10bit Vlog update for the Lumix S1, since the S5 already has it, and if 4k60p is as well for the S1? Now this one was a bit profane, I know. Now on with more substantial stuff: Would like to know If Andrew would be interested in shooting a shortfilm or musicvideos in Berlin?:) Also, has he ever considered teaching people in person about lenses, the vintage flavour of them, anamorphics and all his other tasty specialties? A lens nerdom parade would be awesome, live when corona will be tamed! cheers

It´s a tiny cube. Oh Gosh, hopefully not with mini hmdi. It´s seems to get the Zcam form factor then. Why not call it Zcam? @Andrew Reid Hey Andrew, any news from Panasonic about a possible free 10bit Vlog update for the S1 or 10 bit for 4k60p? cheers

Pretty looking camera! If it only had full HDMI for the lowest budget shooter I am who can only afford his SDI connection on a second market Sony F3 and FS700. I am still hesitating with spending 200 EU for the VLOG / 10bit update for my S1, because I would feel dumb if Panasonic is give it to us for free eventually. And still not 10bit for 4K60p in the S1. S5 with full HDMI, I would indeed have bought after selling the S1.

S1H ticks a lot of boxes of the X70 other than internal NDs and AF. Codecs and the image itself are of proven quality. Would love to see a comparision. The older Canon C300ii is infamous for its plastic look at higher isos and lowlight due to nasty noise reduction. S1H has an artefact free cinematic image which betters the C300ii easily in certain situations. S1H might be the better choice for those who dont need AF or NDs and who want to shoot 6K on a virtual sensor size of approx. 50 x 34mm with a Pentax or Mamyia middle format speedbooster or with its full physical size of 36 x 24 mm.

But only if the actors are up to high speed stuff too:) Great job with the angles, pace and editing! Now we want to see some scandinavian Samo Hung action. 🙂

Yeah, FS5 for 1500-1600 USD would be some adequate way to spend some money on, I must say. 🙂

Beautiful image! So do you think 422 would come close to the quality of a 444 recording with the F3? The GH5 records beautifully gradeable and then beautiful looking colour! Do you mind to show us the beautiful video too? We all love that F3 look for a nicely illumnated setting! Would be awesome if you could show us some bits of that footage in motion! cheers What I love about the F3 is the locking FZ mount and the quality of adapters, super sturdy and pro quality! Emount on Fs700 or Fs5 is like from a DSLM. Still great cameras. A silly thing on my F3 is the on/off slider, which works fine though but still is very flimsy, super filmsy. It doesnt ooze confidence. Other than that, the outlook of filming thick and perfect HD with it, once I got my BMVA 5inch, is a joy I am looking forward to.

Exactely, you can assing any function to a button, stabilizer and focal length option as well. It is a two-push-setup. Push once for stabilizer menu and push another button to choose focal length. Very easy, intuitive and comortable. So, anyone with the S5, framerates above HD 60p are all 8bit right? That 120p HD 10bit is still a benefit to the S1H only I think. @TheBoogieKnight No exernal 10bit without the update afaik plus only with Ninja or Shogun Inferno. I have a Shogun Flame and didnt record it. It´s only working as a display with my S1.

@bjohn My Lumix S1 and also my small GX85 allow customization of buttons masterfully. So should the S5 do that perfectly.

@MrSMW Yes, for me it would have been perfect with full HDMI, which the S1 has. S1 on the other hand needs a paid Upgrade for 10 bit and Vlog and still does not have 10bit for 4K60, which the S5 has. Indeed, so close. I guess i will have to pay the 200 EUR for the update and still be without 10bit for the 4K60 as of now. S1H has both but is too expensive for me.

I do. I love it. Gives directors a bit of control over the image I am filming. 🙂 Full HDMI might be good enough. But so would be a Lumix S5, if AF is not needed as a substitute for manual for video. 2000 vs 6000 EU cash. Would be interested to see their 4k60 in comparision. C300iii sensor is a beast though. Will see how X70s processing fares. C300MKii had some nasty temp noise reduction artefacts at low light. One couldnt really tell when. Sometimes it shown up, sometimes it didnt.

@MrSMW Give it a run for its money and milk its incredible image quality. Film some Vlog footage at 4000iso with minimal lighting power of your romantic interest and drool over these skintones. Btw I think Vlog needs a a bit of grading effort and love otherwise I find it a bit sterile. Does it have 10bit, even though 420, for the 120fps?

That ultimate image quality of the S series has its price. 🙂 @MrSMW

No SDI, that we won´t forget, neither the cripple hammer which is still bugging users with overheating of the R5. Ten minutes waits after 20min shooting. Who will forget that? lol @Video Hummus I would say, 4k120p on the R5 does not look better thant HD120p on the S5 to my eyes witnessing the footage on youtube. Whats the sense in it then. 5500 vs 2000 shows in the HFR department of course. And it should. S5 is appealing to those who dont need AF or monitoring for directors.

Well for AF depending shoots, look elsewhere. Micro HDMI is a bummer too. I will keep my S1 for the monitoring via full HDMI and hopefully Pana will give us S1 owners 10bit 4k60 Super35 via update. @Andrew Reid would you mind talking to Pana and suggest to them a humble firmware update for S1 owners, since the S5 has been so generously blessed with codecs, VLog and swivel screen. 🙂

No SDI. What a shame. Some directors like to see an image on their monitors, right! For image quality only I wouldnt buy it. For that price it needs to have SDI. I second that, 2x S5 plus one Mamiya 645 speedbooster and two middle format lenses- Hallo IMAX! :), plus a dummy FD adapter and two Canon FD lenses instead. How about a YAWG thing with battery for the S5, Panasonic?

Rolling shutter of the A7Siii is impressively low. Image on the S5 is free of artefacts and digital oddities. I would say it is the better image. As far as lens choices go, some people do shoot with manual lenses. A7Siii would have been tempting if with the image quality of a S5, which by the way has a rolling shutter of 10ms in S35 mode. The long gop codec, if the same as in the S1, is much slimmer than it is on the A7Siii and is performing impressively well. AF is much better on the A7Siii, of course. A7siii with 4k up to 120p full frame plus astonishing AF is indeed something people will take advantage of and will enjoy. I think it's super cool, that we have this crazy camera tech and that we are relaxed about it and wish eachother enjoyment with their cams. Very well said @Trek of Joy!
